The Anti-Intellectual Presidency: The Decline of Presidential Rhetoric from George Washington to George W. ...
Elvin T. Lim
Oxford University Press, USA
, 2008
Why has it been so long since an American president has effectively and consistently presented well-crafted, intellectually substantive arguments to the American public? Why have presidential utterances fallen from the rousing speeches of Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Wilson, and FDR to a series of robotic repetitions of talking points and sixty-second soundbites, largely designed to obfuscate rather than illuminate? In The Anti-Intellectual ...

My wife and I are now separated after 32yrs of marriage(both married at age 20). This book was originally referred to me by my therapist in hopes that it would help me with conversation should I have to begin all over in the dating world. I found some very intense questions that if answered honestly, could help strengthen and intensify or totally dismiss an existing relationship. The questions ...

The third edition is up to date--It is super!!!
I don't know whether or why the 2d edition would be on sale, as the first reviewer implies in his or her nevertheless good review. The third edition has been out for two years and it is complete, accessible, understandable, and better than the competition--by far! If you want to understand patents, copyrights, trademarks, this book will make you an expert in an afternoon.

How to manage the risks and rewards of intellectual assets
I wish I had a dollar for every time I've heard a C-level executive say something to the effect that her or his organization's "most valuable assets walk out the door at the end of each day." Indeed they do. How effectively are they managed? In turn, how effectively do they manage the intellectual property entrusted to their care, especially now when organizations have become so "transparent" as ...

Not bad for a textbook
I read this for an IP survey course in law school. The cases were well edited and the comments were relevant. The authors don't hide the ball. This is one of the few textbooks that I will probably not sell.

Exactly as advertised
Great Book...It is exactly as it states, one page;one new topic. All so far are very interesting. This seems like it would be a great textbook for some class. Only thing I would tell prospective buyers...print/font is extremely small. I don't wear glasses or have eye issues and I was shocked at how small the print was. Main points of each topic are in 10 font (estimate), then each subsequent ...

Paul Johnson
Harper Perennial

Devastating Stuff
This is the kind of book that is either going to inspire or infuriate you, but it should provoke valuable discussion and thought in either case. Johnson's thesis is quite simple: the revolutionary thinkers whose ideas have shaped intellectual history over the past 250 years were, for the most part, lousy human beings. These were not not common or garden variety jerks but personalities whose flaws ...

Top case-book on IP
The authors are luminaries of Boalt, UC Berkeley. The book is for students, and therefore concentrates on precedents. For European lawyers, better versed in commentaries and systematic works, this always is a problem. As such the work is the best, talking of high tech and intellectual property law. Do not forget "Software and Internet Law" by the same authors + Pam Samuelson. In Europe the ...
The Conservative Intellectual Movement in America Since 1945

George H. Nash

Required reading
Indispensable as an introduction to the development of conservative thought in roughly the third quarter of the 20th century, Nash's history has no peers. Illustrating clearly the fractiousness (maybe even inherent incompatibility) of the factions gathered by necessity under the umbrella of conservative thought, he charts well the intellectual underpinnings of conservativism in the United States ...

Intellectual Morons: How Ideology Makes Smart People Fall for Stupid Ideas

Machinations of the Godless
Dan Flynn's "Intellectual Morons" is stunning corroboration of Psalm 14 which begins, "The fool says in his heart, `There is no God.' They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good." The corroboration is even more profound when you consider that the Hebrew word translated into the English word "fool" connotes not just bad judgment, but moral deficiency. In this ...

Ref A for Buidling Value in the Information Age
I read the same author's The Wealth of Knowledge: Intellectual Capital and the Twenty-first Century Organization first, and then went back to get this earlier book (1998), and I actually feel that reading them in that order is better. This book has a lot of detail that is well served by the context that can be found in the later book. For those who really wish to get a deep look at the future ...

Essential reading for anyone creating intellectual property
This is a book whose content is something that I should have read years ago. I am a part-time college instructor, have my own business and edit material for publication. In all three of these areas, questions and conflicts regarding intellectual property have arisen. The colleges that I teach for have policies that dictate that all instructional material and software the instructor creates for ...

Excellent Primer for the layman and seasoned professional!
This is an excellent book that I believe can help level the playing field for smaller companies vis-a-vis their larger competitors concerning exploiting the full value of their intellectual property rights. The authors include a chapter addressed to corporate officers and directors concerning potential liability for mismanaging intellectual property. This chapter alone is an eye-opener that ...
