we use it as a textbook!.......2001-03-02
We teach a summer elective in Mexico for health professional students. Our 2 week in-country course focuses on learning the culture and language and health care systems of Mexico. This book is very useful because it gives a quick down and dirty synopsis of Mexican history (much longer and messier than U.S.history)that allows us, as teachers, to move into what we see as the aftermath, in the country today. It then moves onto the author's own experiences navigating the culture, with excellent tips, "to blend in" and understand what is going on around you. The details the author provides, such as going up to a stranger's house in the country, and asking "do you have any extra food today?" were true 20 years ago and are still true today. This provides the cultural context and informational detail we need, dealing with immigrants from these areas, in health care settings. It is not a guidebook. It is a hybrid...and very useful for those travelers who blaze their own paths, not the usual tourist tracks of Mexico.
Social and Cultural Mexico.......2000-03-29
I read this after reading the US State Travel Dept. Info Sheet which tends to be overly conservative and makes places sound like demilitarized zones. This guide put a little reality back into it. The author gives some cultural tips mainly for the gringo (US citizen) to help mostly in social situations. Especially useful, were the tips on how to recognize a good Mexican restaurant, how to address people in social situations, and other Mexicanisms such as various commonly used slang. The author also describes regional differences and urban/rural differences you may come across. I feel this is a good guide to get a feel for the people and the place especially for the casual visitor going to the non-tourist areas of Mexico so you don't act like such a gringo. Not really a book to keep as a long-term reference to Mexico, I'd try to borrow it before buying it. The author does give minor Mexican differences in pronouncing Spanish, but I think he assumes most readers have a basis for Spanish, or will have a phrase book for this.
What a Shock.......1999-11-24
Not recommended. The biggest shock was the author's pedantry. The first third of the book is an obscure treatment of history which assumes too much knowledge on the part of the reader. The book needs a glossary with the pronunciation of unusual spanish words, names, and places. I found myself constantly stumbling over them.
Fascinating anecdotes, but needs an editor.......1998-06-16
This entry in the Culture Shock! series provides a wealth of information about Mexico, but the author's presentation is rambling and disorganized. Of course, one could take this as a metaphor for Mexico: things appear to be chaotic, but generally they can be made to work. Tips for doing business in Mexico and handling social occasions are generally well-presented. The section on personal safety, in which the author relates his attempts to stay overnight in the worst sections of two Mexican cities to tempt fate, is instructive (he emerges unscathed) but does leave me wishing the jacket carried a photo of this fearless adventurer. (See the review of Culture Shock! Japan for general info on the series.)

A quick and satisfying read.......2007-08-06
Doris Price Fisher sure can tell a story. I laughed, I cried and I learned a lot. The depression era was a hair before my time so it was interesting to see how simple folks got along. Especially curious to me was how they stored their big quilt racks in small places. I would recommend this book to anyone and am ordering one for a friend right now. I appreciate that she shared her life with us- The good, the bad and the bald faced honesty that gives us permission to own our own history- the good - the bad- well you know...
I wish she would write more stories for us. Charming and passionate as this book reads.

Book Description
The explosive growth of consumer credit, as well as the shift from cash to "plastic" in societies throughout the world signals a transformation in social relations, which is the focus of this book. For student readers who know the world of credit cards all too well, this is a great way to interest and educate them on the power of thinking sociologically.
Book Description
Young lawyers are morosely unhappy by every conceivable standard. They arrive at our law schools brimming with enthusiasm, but a decade later they are reporting staggering levels of anxiety, drug addiction, and depression. In legal circles there is talk about a "crisis of professionalism" and a "decline in civility," but the problem goes much deeper. Through ignorance and greed, the legal profession has designed a complicated system of education, licensing, and practice that drives young lawyers into fear, alienation, and self-hatred. The author of this book—a law professor and practicing attorney—argues that young lawyers face a series of institutional absurdities built into the fabric of law school, the bar exam, and law firm practice. The current system is churning out a tidal wave of disaffected and bitter lawyers who see the legal system as a Byzantine maze, an endless artificial game totally disconnected from considerations of justice. The Destruction of Young Lawyers shows how these struggles can be reversed through massive structural change and is the first step toward diagnosis and treatment of the specific problems facing young lawyers.

Telling It Like It Is.......2006-12-20
Lawyers are screwed up because the way they learn and then practice the law are also screwed up. The author is dead on when he says that the problem starts with law school; it's an idiotic way to train lawyers when, upon graduation, they still have to take a Bar review course and cram for the Bar exam in order to pass it. And even upon passing the Bar, lawyers are not trained in law school to handle the most basic "real world" legal tasks that any first year paralegal knows how to do ... sure, they can recite the rule in Shelley's case, but they cannot draft a simple Complaint, take a meaningful deposition, or counsel a client without an experienced lawyer showing them how to do it!
What if doctors learned nothing about treating patients in medical school and had to learn everything "on the job"? Why don't law schools quit teaching so much nonsense and gear their courses to actually training lawyers how to BE lawyers. Abe Lincoln didn't go to law school; he was apprenticed to a lawyer and learned the profession quite effectively. Maybe we need more of that and less of the sadistic Professor Kingsfield in "Paper Chase."
I have been highly recommending this book to all lawyers I know since I read it several months ago. I disagree with some of the criticism in the reviews above and don't view the author as anything like a "Marxist." He simply points out that idealistic lawyers, who may want to represent the poor and downtrodden, soon find that those jobs don't pay enough for them to afford to pay back their student debt and live a decent lifestyle and so often feel forced to succumb to working for corporations and insurance companies. There is a good deal of "soul-selling" going on in the legal world.
I've been a lawyer for 21 years and, though I practice in a northern Michigan area where civility and professional courtesy is still largely intact, I know many lawyers who fit the description of the miserable lawyers depicted by the author. Many would rather be doing "something else" than practicing law, and I think that's too bad.
We lawyers need to pick up on the themes of this book and do what we can, however small it may be, to try to change the system, beginning with law school and the foolishness of the Bar exam.
Any college student thinking about going to law school owes it to himself to read this book. Only then can he make the decision about law as a career with eyes wide open.
Eye-opening and compelling.......2006-06-01
Doug Litowitz's book on young lawyers is a must read for lawyers, law professors, law students, and potential law students. Although Litowitz occasionally overstates a point--for example, I disagree that all, or most, law professors were unsuccessful lawyers and that all, or most, law professors employ the Socratic method to demoralize students--authors are permitted poetic license if the general message they are trying to convey is important and true. Litowitz's message is both of these things: the systems through which we train and employ young lawyers is broken and needs to be fixed. Litowitz's book is also extremely well-written, and holds the reader's attention from start to finish. I recommend it unreservedly and I commend Litowitz for his brave and profound book.
Litowitz on unhappy lawyers.......2006-03-23
Douglas Litowitz is an attorney, law professor and former associate at a large law firm. In this book, he describes the emotional, spiritual and financial pressures that have made many young lawyers desperately unhappy with their line of work. Litowitz makes many good points about the kinds of stresses that result from structural factors that are fairly new to the profession. While some of his recommendations are unnecessarily radical, he does seem to have a sound grasp on the malaise that faces the American legal profession at the dawn of the twenty-first century.
Young lawyers, he says, are suffering from high rates of depression and other forms of mental illness and substance abuse. There are several reasons for this. They come out of law school with little or no training in the practical realities of the law, saddled with enormous debts, steered toward practice in large firms that represent big corporations, spending long hours doing mindless and sometimes unethical work, chained to their jobs by technology that was supposed to liberate them.
I think the diagnosis is fairly accurate. While many of the cures he suggests seem worthwhile, I'm not sure all of his recommendations are worth following. Litowitz surprised me with his old-fashioned liberalism, bordering on radicalism. Whether describing the "alienation" of associates with reference to Karl Marx's theories, or deploring the inability of young lawyers to devote themselves to a career in public service, Litowitz seems to be calling out to us from the past. He is strongly opposed to nearly every feature of the present-day legal system. Litowitz recommends, for example, that we do away with the Socratic method in law schools, and the bar exam. He would prefer a more "user friendly" approach to law school classes, and a less "Mickey Mouse" approach to the conditions for entering the profession.
The problem with radicalism is that it tends to undervalue existing institutions. Could there be a reason for the "unfriendly" Socratic method? Let's face it, the law is not a touchy-feely profession. A lawyer in litigation practice is going to be pounded regularly with tough questions by unsymphathetic judges. He or she will have to defend his or her client's position, even when it seems untenable, against constant attack by counsel on the other side. As much as we hate it, learning to read cases and answer tough questions about them, getting pushed into untenable positions, is part of learning how to be a lawyer. It's more like boot camp than an encounter group.
I'm all for his recommendation about learning more practical skills in law school. When I was there, nearly twenty years ago, I volunteered for just about every practicum and clinical experience I could get. And still, of course, found myself lost when I actually started practicing law. Reducing debt loads for people just entering the profession so they have some control over their lives just makes sense. But we have to realize that being a practicing lawyer is never going to be easy, and that lawyers will never be loved for what they do.
A mediocre treatment, but for now a must-read.......2006-03-23
We have long been in need of a book that addresses difficulties and pitfalls of the legal profession on a personal, rather than societal, level. The law school experience is treated well in One-L (although many schools have at least to some degree altered their curricula and pedagogy since that book was written), but it seems that many, many people just do not know what they are getting themselves into before embarking upon -- and even during -- the arduous and expensive process of law school. This book tells it like it is. And also like it isn't.
In developing his theme that the law, if ever it was a "noble profession," has devolved into a series of largely empty and ethically vacuous hazing rituals that stifle individuality, lead to frustration and burn-out, and wreak havoc with lawyers' personal and family lives, the author has accurately depicted the worst aspects of the practice of law. However, there's a significant lack of balance. All the horrors described in this book are not experienced by all attorneys, and certainly not all of the time. Importantly, the differences between a more positive experience practicing law and the horror show depicted in this book has much to do with the subjective way one experiences their work life, and not just with the circumstances under which he or she must work.
The author reveals that he looks at the legal profession from the perspective of a (lower-case-"m") marxist. The validity of his political and economic gloss is highly debatable. Valid or not, he has at least a philosophical, if not also a personal, ax to grind with the legal profession and its hierarchical structure. Someone who looks at economic life from such a perspective will obviously have a very biased view about the modern corporate law culture.
Still, for all of its wallowing in negativity and pity, Litowitz' depiction of law firm life is not false, just one-sided. Hopefully the themes presented in this book will be further developed by others having additional points of view in the future or, better yet, tested. But for now, I am unaware of another book that describes the daily hands-on experiences of younger lawyers in the 21st century "sausage factory," and therefore believe this title should be of great interest to anyone contemplating or just beginning to experience the legal profession, especially those who are contemplating whether to go to law school. It also happens to be a fairly quick and engaging read despite its university press pretensions.
Book Description
Beyond L.A. Law gives you a fascinating glimpse into the lives of people who've broken the lawyer mold. They come from a variety of backgrounds--some had prior careers, others went straight through college and law school, and yet others have overcome poverty and physical handicaps.

If by "fascinating", you mean worked at a law firm or some other ordinary legal job..........2007-06-26
I was not inspired. A lot of the stories are about people who work at law firms. I was looking for alternatives to law firms.
Inspired miserable law school student.......2007-03-30
I have a dear, smart, funny, eclectic friend who feels like she's a victim of a law school filled with single minded, conservative students. I know she's going to do such wonderful things with her life and wanted to find some inspiration to get her through this tough first year. I haven't read the book but found it through an amazon search. This friend of mine wrote me the kindest thank you note (the note would have cried) saying that this book gave her such important perspective. It was exactly what I wanted to do for her.
Great gift for anyone considering the law as a career.......2003-02-18
This book is full of motivational, inspiring stories about people who have used their law degree both in traditional settings and to move beyond traditional settings. Easy reading. Each chapter is an individual story. I'd love to meet some of the folks included in this book!

Book Description
This book focuses on the labor market provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). It provides a comprehensive analysis of the current labor market experience of American workers with disabilities and an assessment of the impact the ADA has had on that experience. Whereas previous studies focused on a single dimension of this experience (e.g., wages or employment levels) evaluated at a single point in time, or focused on the labor supply impact of disability policies, this research explores the labor market experience across those dimensions and across time. The result is a more complete picture of what Americans with disabilities can expect as participants in the labor market and of whether this experience has been impacted by the passage of the ADA.
As the author points out, "The analyses in this book show that while disabled workers are making progress in some dimensions of their labor market experience, the ADA does not seem to have had a striking impact in either a positive or negative direction. Expanding or strengthening incentives to enter the labor force, providing training focused in high-growth, high-earnings occupations, and assistance in screening and matching workers with appropriate jobs are policies that would capitalize on the recent progress made by disabled workers and move them in the direction of greater labor market gains."
Book Description
The Ford Pinto car, the asbestos industry, the Ocean Ranger, the Challenger space shuttle, Love Canal, Grassy Narrows, the Dalkon Shield and political kickbacks are but a few of the examples used by the author to illustrate corporate crime. McMullan attributes corporate crime to a process whereby the accumulation of capital takes precedence over human safety. He concludes that "the scope and seriousness of corporate crime is enormous, far exceeding that of conventional crime."
Book Description
This book argues that many of the basic concepts that we use to describe and analyze our governmental system are out of date. Developed in large part during the Middle Ages, they fail to confront the administrative character of modern government.
These concepts, which include power, discretion, democracy, legitimacy, law, rights, and property, bear the indelible imprint of this bygone era's attitudes, and Arthurian fantasies, about governance. As a result, they fail to provide us with the tools we need to understand, critique, and improve the government we actually possess.
Beyond Camelot explains the causes and character of this failure, and then proposes a new conceptual framework, drawn from management science and engineering, which describes our administrative government more accurately, and identifies its weaknesses instead of merely bemoaning its modernity.
This book's proposed framework envisions government as a network of connected units that are authorized by superior units and that supervise subordinate ones. Instead of using inherited, emotion-laden concepts like democracy and legitimacy to describe the relationship between these units and private citizens, it directs attention to the particular interactions between these units and the citizenry, and to the mechanisms by which government obtains its citizens' compliance. Instead of speaking about law and legal rights, it proposes that we address the way that the modern state formulates policy and secures its implementation. Instead of perpetuating outdated ideas that we no longer really believe about the sanctity of private property, it suggests that we focus on the way that resources are allocated in order to establish markets as our means of regulation. Highly readable, Beyond Camelot offers an insightful and provocative discussion of how we must transform our understanding of government to keep pace with the transformation that government itself has undergone.

Toward a New Theory of Government.......2005-08-11
There's a lot to like about Rubin's thought experiments concerning contemporary government.
The main point is simple enough--don't get caught up in loaded terms that cause diversions from the complex processes of actually managing things. His book points out that government is a messy set of organizations and processes run mostly by hired pros. He essentially suggests that we accept that fact and quit pretending like the whole enterprise has some sort of basic order or timeless philosophical underpinning. For Rubin it doesn't, and it probably shouldn't. He doesn't trash big ideas; he just sees the point in not getting twisted up in them.
For example, we should get over fixations with rigid ideals concerning separations of power in legal decisions, and toss out (or in his words..."bracket") democracy and power as "sedimented" terms. Instead, we should focus on what facilitates micro-analysis--readjust to legal and governmental "causes of action."
This is modern pragmatism at its best--poking a bit of fun at Aristotle and pointing out the irrelevance of the still dominant medieval political thought that distorts reasoned approaches to issues.
If I faulted the work, it would be along lines that it does not go far enough. By focusing so much on government rather than the full complex network of actors and forces at work in governing our lives, Rubin gives us a too government-centric picture of living Beyond Camelot. He hints at a broader notion especially in the first part of the work. It would have been an even stronger book if it had stayed close to a more open system or network focus--starting from a picture of civil society that encompasses government or something along Dahl's lines for polyarchy.
Still, this seems to be quite new thinking--a truly critical approach. Rubin points toward a government that is moral but not sacerdotal, and one that is respectful but not deontological.
The book carries a stiff price, but it is essential reading going forward for students of the administrative state.

Lots of mini-cases; Easy to read.......2007-09-28
Only estate book I've seen written in an easy-to-read, mini-case-study format. Very practical and thought-provoking advice. Tends to focus on little worst-case scenarios in an attempt to get people to plan properly for all the things that can go wrong in an estate.
For what it's worth, I thought the book was generally best-suited for estates with $100,000 to about $2,000,000 in assets. Don't get me wrong, there's something in here for all estate sizes - especially for people just starting the process of developing a plan. However, don't buy this book looking for technical discussions of advanced tax-minimizing strategies. If you or your clients have estates over this $2MM mark, this book can be a great thought-provoker, but some of the advice isn't really suitable for larger estates.
Do right by your kids...get this book.......2007-03-15
I have several estate planning books...the "how to" type and they are great. This is the book you need to read before you start filling in the blanks. I wish my parents had read this book. It would have saved my family relationships. This book gives you the basic information you need before drawing up your trust. Protect your beneficiaries and prevent family conflict by reading this book!
So good I bought 4 extra copies for friends.......2007-01-19
Estate planning is so important if you don't want your son in law running off with half your estate in the event of your kid's divorce. This book was a great asset to me ... and a real eyeopener as to what can happen at the reading of your will if you haven't equalized everything. the author even gives you his phone number that readers can call and ask questions free. The book is so good I bought 4 extra copies for friends.
Ditto of "janimac's on April 11, 2006".......2006-12-28
As strange as this may sound, my review is identical to janimac's on April 11, 2006 (except I merely *told* 3 friends about it).
The answer to my prayers.......2006-04-12
What a relief!!! I finally found a book that would help me help my parent plan their estate! Thank you so much for your wonderful, easy to read book. Once I picked it up, I could not put it down! This book has practical, real world examples of inheritance planning issues and considers the "human" side of inheritances. It's a must read if you need to do estate planning. I just came back and bought three copies to give to my friends. It's the best gift I could possibly give them!
Book Description
This volume examines higher education's apparent overreliance on policy and shows how we can redirect our attention to the ethical and developmental issues that underlie the undergraduate experience. Authors discuss how learning communities and creeds can help achieve balance between policy and personal responsibility; how to deal with student misconduct in a way that both reduces the risk of litigation and furthers student development; and how to promote multiculturalism without compromising individual rights and freedoms. This is the 82nd issue of the quarterly journal New Directions for Student Services.
