Gender, Violence, and the Past in Edda and Saga is the first book to investigate both the relation between gender and violence in the Old Norse Poetic Edda and key family and contemporary sagas, and the interrelated nature of these genres. Beginning with an analysis of eddaic attitudes to heroic violence and its gendered nature through the figures of Guðrún and Helgi, the study broadens out to the whole poetic compilation and how the past (and particularly the mythological past) inflects the heroic present. This paves the way for a consideration of the comparable relationship between the heroic poems themselves and later reworkings of them or allusions to them in the family and contemporary sagas. The book''s thematic concentration on gender/sexuality and violence, and its generic concentration on Poetic Edda and later texts which rework or allude to it, enable a diverse but coherent exploration of both key and neglected Norse texts and the way in which their authors display a dual fascination with and rejection of heroic vengeance.

In calculus the definition of a function is a rule of correspondence between two sets. Externalization theory postulates that a defined internal set of internal physiological function corresponds to an external set of creation in the environment: the pursuit of functional equivalency between both sets through externalizations and their refinements is the “Direction of Man.” The history of man is the incremental history of man externalizing the internal processes of his body to the environment and their ensuing refinements. The past 3000 years provides us with a history of man’s achievements and externalization theory, which draws from significant accomplishments, predicts the direction and achievements of man for the next 3000 years. Consciousness (which has three main functions: cognition, purposive musculoskeletal movements and interpreting stimuli entering the senses) is born out of the total physiology of the interior which makes it the purveyor of externalizations. We are what we are biologically and we create what we are. We will not be able to transcend our existence until we have completely externalized our interior.

Bestselling authors Mary Buffett and David Clark examine seventeen companies that Warren Buffett has bought for himself and for his holding company, Berkshire Hathaway, as durable investments and explain why these companies are once again selling at prices that offer great long-term growth prospects. Warren Buffett has always believed that the time to buy stocks is when nobody else wants them. Even some of the most amazing businesses—those with a durable competitive advantage—are trading at prices and price-to-earnings ratios that offer investors serious long-term moneymaking opportunities. Pessimism about the banking situation in Europe and unemployment in America have created the perfect storm to bring stock prices down and present value-oriented investors some great possibilities. In Warren Buffett’s world, as stock prices decrease, the prospects for investment increase. Putting a number on those prospects tells Warren whether or not the stock is an attractive buy. The Warren Buffett Stock Portfolio explains how to do just that—how to value companies and conservatively estimate the kind of future return that an investment is offering at its current market price. Mary Buffett and David Clark look at stocks in Warren’s portfolio as the basis for their analysis. After a brief history of Warren’s investment strategy, Buffett and Clark explain how to interpret a company’s per-share earnings and per-share book-value histories to quickly identify which companies have a durable competitive advantage and to project the compounding annual rate of return that an investment offers. The authors provide case studies and evaluations of seventeen companies in Warren Buffett’s portfolio. The Warren Buffett Stock Portfolio is a valuable companion to the other books in Buffett and Clark’s successful series—Buffettology, The Buffettology Workbook, The New Buffettology, The Tao of Warren Buffett, Warren Buffett and the Interpretation of Financial Statements, Warren Buffett’s Management Secrets, and Warren Buffett and the Art of Stock Arbitrage

Comparative Law is intended for use in law schools and history and political science departments with introductory courses in comparative law or civil law systems, as well as in European or world legal history. The historical perspective of Comparative Law introduces students to the family of legal systems common to Europe, Latin America, and East Asia. The book also introduces the discipline of comparative law, its scope, origins, objectives, and methods, while discussing the contemporary example of nation building (or law and development) and its limitations. Comparative Law is distinguishable from other comparative law books by its relative de-emphasis of rules and related doctrine. It also has greater attention to the intellectual history, structure, professional actors, and processes that are characteristic of civil law systems. The companion volume, The Contemporary Civil Law Tradition: Europe, Latin America, and East Asia, will present current trends in civil law countries and representative variations within national legal systems. This book also is available in a three-hole punched, alternative loose-leaf version printed on 8.5 x 11 inch paper with wider margins and with the same pagination as the hardbound book.

The contemporary civil law tradition encompasses a rich variety of national legal systems more widespread geographically and with more people living under its domain than any other legal tradition. Often the rules of law look very much like those in the United States or other common law nations. As with United States law, finding the rule is often less of a problem than knowing what to do with it; it is the difficult business of understanding the contemporary legal system, within which the rules exist and operate, that the book seeks to illuminate. The Contemporary Civil Law Tradition: Europe, Latin America, and East Asia has two principal aims. First, to describe and analyze what is similar among the civil law nations covered here so that it would be appropriate to classify all of them within the same tradition or legal family. Second, details about what is different among the 13 civil law nations on at least two levels. One dimension presents civil law countries by continent, taking each group in the historical order in which they developed or adopted the civil law system: Europe, Latin America, and East Asia. The other dimension compares the individual national legal systems within each continent: France, Germany, Italy, and Spain; Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico; and Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand. - See more at: http://www.lexisnexis.com/store/catalog/booktemplate/productdetail.jsp?pageName=relatedProducts&skuId=sku-us-ebook-03013-epub&catId=cat80094&prodId=10837#sthash.FfVb33oC.dpuf The contemporary civil law tradition encompasses a rich variety of national legal systems more widespread geographically and with more people living under its domain than any other legal tradition.
