Endless Forms Most Beautiful: The New Science Of Evo Devo And The Making Of The Animal Kingdom

ASIN: 0195069331

Book Description

In this work, George C. Williams--one of evolutionary biology's most distinguished scholars--examines the mechanisms and meaning of natural selection in evolution. Williams offers his own perspective on modern evolutionary theory, including discussions of the gene as the unit of selection, clade selection and macroevolution, diversity within and among populations, stasis, and other timely and provocative topics. In dealing with the levels-of-selection controversy, he urges a pervasive form of the replicator-vehicle distinction. Natural selection, he argues, takes place in the separate domains of information and matter. Levels-of-selection questions, consequently, require different theoretical devices depending on the domains being discussed. In addressing these topics, Williams presents a synthesis of his three decades of research and creative thought which have contributed greatly to evolutionary biology in this century.

Book Description

The office of the public defender is not known as a training ground for bright young litigators. Clay Carter has been there too long and, like most of his colleagues, dreams of a better job in a real firm. When he reluctantly takes the case of a young man charged with a random street killing, he assumes it is just another of the many senseless murders that hit D.C. every week.

As he digs into the background of his client, Clay stumbles on a conspiracy too horrible to believe. He suddenly finds himself in the middle of a complex case against one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world, looking at the kind of enormous settlement that would totally change his life—that would make him, almost overnight, the legal profession’s newest king of torts...

From the Hardcover edition.

Customer Reviews:

Different from the average Grisham novel.....in a good way!.......2007-09-24

King of Torts is a little different then the "average" Grisham novel. In a good way. While I love novels like The Firm, The Street Lawyer, The Partner; at the same token, something a bit different is good. Keeps things fresh. Because, who wants to keep reading the same sorts of stories, over and over again?

This book, obviously, is about the tort system. Not being familiar with torts, I found the book enlightening and interesting. I read it in a week, it was a quick, fun read. Honestly, I read it quickly because I was enjoying it and wondering where it would go, how it would end. Albiet, the ending wasn't a complete surprise, there were surprises along the way which kept things interesting.

While not the best Grisham novel, nor the most suspenseful, I think King of Torts is worth the read.

An interesting and enjoyable read into the world of mass torts.......2007-07-26

After reading John Grisham's book "The Firm" I have read just about every book written by him and in my opinion "King of Torts" is right up there at the top. It's a stunning and education portrait of mass tort litigators and what happens to the clients that they are entrusted to represent. Mr. Grisham's writing style captured the true effects of mass tort on the victims. The main character, the young attorney Clay Carter, finds himself in a different world than the standard practice of law, or the standard life style. This is a excellent account of the actual ramifications of such mass litigation. Highly recommended.

Ho Hum - a good idea but uninspired development.......2007-06-29

I've read about 7 or more Grisham books and this is easily the least satisfying. It is however, the fastest to read.

He tries to write a moral tale of lawyerly greed, arrogance, self-indulgence and easy (come, easy go) money playing on the recurring issue of tort reform. But with poorly developed characters and a sleepy, if steady, but sometimes over-the-top narrative I found myself not caring a great deal.

It would be a fine read for a beach somewhere warm, with a cool drink at hand when you don't want to tax your brain. The book would also make a steady sand coaster.

Pharmacutical legal win.......2007-06-21

John Grisham presents an interesting case of a long shot win or lose gamble by a lawyer to win monies for plaintiffs who were wronged by a drug company. This story has been done many times by now, but as a fan of this author's, the book is well written and the stories' characters are well developed.

King of Legal Thrillers.......2007-06-14

Grisham definitely delivers a strong message of the grave consequences of greed and power and the affect on even the most unsuspecting individual in the story "King of Torts." Clay Carter was a humble attorney working for the Office of the Public Defender, not making the big bucks and daydreaming of a legal practice that pulls in a healthier salary to impress his soon to be in-laws. While all of this would be icing on the cake for Clay, he abhors his future in-laws because of their snobby, materialistic behavior. By way of a random call by one Max Pace, Clay is introduced to the ins and outs of suing big corporations for their mistakes (primarily drug companies) and the fascinating world of mass tort litigation. Seems this is a fast and easy way to become a millionaire. As Clay begins working for Max, he uncovers very dangerous drugs on the market with quite serious and some even fatal, side effects. What begins as financial aid for the victims suffering from the after-effects of a bad drug, explodes into a money-making, out-to-get-all-you-can, big business for the attorney handling the cases. Clay quite quickly falls into what he despised; a vulture, looking out for number one with no concern for the good of his clients. He abandons his former life for a ride on the fast tract of class lawsuits in mass tort litigation, settling out of court with not much effort (with the exception of widespread advertising to bring the clients to him), raking in millions of dollars as well as his trophy toys, a luxury airliner and trophy bimbo (Ridley) to mention just two. What happens to him as a result? You'll have to read the book - it is the work of a master writer with a strong as well as entertaining message.

The life of a ten-year-old black girl is shattered by two drunken and remorseless young men. The mostly white town reacts with shock and horror at the inhuman crime. Until her father acquires an assault rifle–and takes justice into his own outraged hands.
For ten days, with burning crosses and the crack of sniper fire spreading through the streets of Clanton, Mississippi, the nation sits spellbound as young defense attorney Jack Brigance struggles to save his client’s life… and then his own.

De ahí su resignación al abordar un nuevo caso que promete ser como tantos otros: debe defender a un adolescente acusado de asesinato, un hecho corriente en la ciudad de Washington. Sin embargo, cuando Clay empieza a indagar en el pasado de su cliente, se entera de que éste se hallaba bajos los efectos de un fármaco en fase de experimentación cuando cometió el crimen. El laboratorio creador del producto, ansioso de que el suceso no salga a la luz, le propone a Clay un pacto. Para cumplirlo, el joven abogado deberá estar dispuesto a jugar sucio. A pesar de sus reticencias iniciales, Clay acabará aceptando, al entender que ésta puede ser la oportunidad de su vida: la compañía es una de las empresas farmacéuticas más importantes del país. La misión promete ser dura por el complejo entramado de poder e intereses en juego, pero la tentación es demasiado grande: de la noche a la mañana, Clay podría convertirse en el nuevo rey de los pleitos. En su nuevo thriller de corte legal, John Grisham pone al descubierto el enorme poder que poseen ciertos bufetes de abogados, a la vez que analiza las consecuencias que puede tener una ambición desmesurada.

Book Description

A chemical injury can happen at any time to anyone, regardless of age, background, or economic status. It can happen either on the job or in the home, and can affect many members of a community. Such an injury often does not show up immediately but develops over a long period. Often, however, sufferers from chemical exposure are victimized not only by the chemicals but also by a legal system that seems to require complicated and expensive court action.

This helpful guide to chemical-injury litigation offers practical strategies that clients and their attorneys can use to better serve their cases. Presenting a clear blueprint of client rights and responsibilities, the book will improve the standard of legal services for both individuals and communities. The guide addresses in detail several important areas of chemical injury and the legal process: defining problems and solutions; examining available resources; cultivating a knowledge of chemical-related diseases and injuries; and facilitating effective attorney-client relationships and case strategies. Leading attorneys contribute case studies and essays offering perspectives on chemical injury and the law.

A Must read for Environmental Groups Everywhere.......1999-10-08

Chemical Injury and the Courts, is an essential read for every environmental activist. Immeasurable hours of time and energy will be saved, because of this book. Many valuable examples of what other groups have gone through are cited and as a environmental veteran of many fights I believe me this is priceless information! Step by step assistance and checkpoints in choosing a lawyer for your environmental fight detailed in easy to understand instructions.

Important questions your group needs to ask are listed one by one. Questions that when addressed properly could save your group thousands of dollars in their fight for environmental justice. Your choice of lawyer may be the key issue in whether you win or loose your case, and this book helps you to better make that decision.

As an added bonus, this book is written from the point of view of one that has been there. Linda Price King has worked extensively with grass roots environmental groups around the country. So often, books written for the environmental movement by so called professionals and advisors are clueless to how an actual environmental battle is carried on. Miss King uses all of her expertise and experience in providing a book that will help environmental groups in their battles and that is a victory for all hard working grassroots environmental groups everywhere.
