"Darwin's book on evolution admitted that "intermediate links" were "perhaps the most obvious and serious objection to the theory" of evolution. Darwin recognized that the fossils collected by scientists prior to 1859 did not correspond with his theory of evolution, but he predicted that his theory would be confirmed as more and more fossils were found. One hundred and fifty years later, Evolution: The Grand Experiment critically examines the viability of Darwin's theory"--

The essays in this volume reflect the exciting new directions in which legal history in the settler colonies of the British Empire has developed. The contributors show how local life and culture in selected settlements influenced, and was influenced by, the ideology of the rule of law that accompanied the British colonial project. Exploring themes of legal translation, local understandings, judicial biography, and "law at the boundaries," they examine the legal cultures of dominions in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand to provide a contextual and comparative account of the "incomplete implementation of the British constitution" in these colonies.

This is the first book on a crucial issue in human resource management. In recent years, employers have begun to require, as a condition of employment, that their nonunion employees agree to arbitrate rather than litigate any employment disputes, including claims of discrimination. As the number of employers considering such a requirement soars, so does the fear that compulsory arbitration may eviscerate the statutory rights of employees. Richard A. Bales explains that the advantages of arbitration are clear. Much faster and less expensive than litigation, arbitration provides a forum for the many employees who are shut out of the current litigative system by the cost and by the tremendous backlog of cases. On the other hand, employers could use arbitration abusively. Bales views the current situation as an ongoing experiment. As long as the courts continue to enforce agreements that are fundamentally fair to employees, the experiment will continue. After tracing the history of employment arbitration in the nonunion sector, Bales explains how employment arbitration has actually worked in the securities industry and at Brown & Root, a company with a comprehensive dispute resolution process. He concludes by summarizing the advantages, disadvantages, and policy implications of adopting arbitration as the preeminent method of resolving disputes in the American workforce.

Seven fears drive and determine our choices and decisions. These fears severely limit our experience of life and harden our viewpoint of humanity. Just imagine what would change if we could see the underlying fear that determines behavior, the same fear that stands in the way of each of us fulfilling our unique purpose. We are not what we believe ourselves to be. Who we are is truly magnificent! "The Grand Experiment" is a blueprint for the discovery of our authentic selves. It asks us to look closely at our fears, the foundation of the beliefs we unconsciously embrace as our reality, and asks us to reexamine their validity. It challenges us to face the very fears that have created the longing in our hearts and that make us believe who we are is not enough. It opens the door to the possibility that what we are searching for is unconditional love and it is only our fear that has obscured our view. There is a way out of being solely determined by fear, but in order to find it we must be willing to question those beliefs we hold dear and that hold us hostage. Our willingness to question opens the door to the grand experiment. "The Grand Experiment" explores seven fearssix major myths and the foundational myth of separation. The authors candidly and nakedly share their process, insights and daemons to entice the reader into shameless exploration.

America's lax moral attitudes are placing the nation on the brink of national suicide. No other nation has ever purposely promoted its own self-destruction. At no other time in recorded history has a nation's internalized sense of guilt dominated its social and political thinking; never a collective desire to purge itself of self-fabricated guilt complexes whose origins are, more often than not, imaginary. We have devolved into groveling apologists seeking redemption for being a great nation. The path of least resistance, it seems, lies in undermining the customs and traditions of time-honored institutions that once made many of us proud Americans.
