Guide to the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) for Small Businesses, Resellers, Crafters, and Charities
$5.80
Book
The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) is a sweeping new law that impacts a broad spectrum of our economy. From manufacturers of toys to the kids that play with them, everyone is affected in some way -- even those who make and donate products to hospitals and charities.
There are new rules to be understood and adopted for everyone from the largest global manufacturer to the crafter working in the family workshop to the mom-and-pop shop on the corner. Indeed, all children’s products including toys, books, child care articles and clothing are covered in different ways by this law, and there are different rules for different products.
Although the information here does not speak to every aspect of the law, it does address some of the more frequently asked questions that many small manufacturers, shop owners and consignment/thrift store owners have asked about the CPSIA.
Read this today if you want to understand how expensive this is all going to be to small companies and individuals trying to make a living from consumer products.

One of the worst laws past in the history of the United States! This will destroy many small manufacturing companies if it's implemented in it's incredible sweeping breadth. Every person....from people making home crafts and selling them online, to small manufacturers of just about any product (plastics, toys, textiles, clothes, books, etc..), to retailers and second hand stores, will have to comply with this horseshit legislature. Read it and weep..then call you damn congressman and ask him or her why in the hell did you vote for this? One (1) congressman voted against it...Ron Paul.

WATER RIGHTS FOR IRRIGATION: Principles and Procedure for Engineers
$15.52
Book
This discussion of water rights has resulted from the author's teaching of this subject, mainly to engineering students, at the University of California for more than twenty years. It has been the purpose of such instruction to acquaint the students with the essential features of procedure with which they may become concerned in the practice of engineering for irrigation and other projects involving the use of water in the western states. It is essential that the engineering material required in connection with the acquirement, adjudication, and administration of water rights should be prepared in accordance with the principles of the procedure in effect in the different states. While it is necessary to base much of the discussion on court decisions, legal technicalities have been avoided as far as practicable.
As water is the most important natural resource of the western states, acquirement of rights of its use involves many matters of public policy. Some discussion of the history of such policy and its applications has been included. As much of the land in these states is still public, acquirement of rights of way over public lands, both reserved and unreserved, is an essential part of most water-supply projects, and a discussion of procedure for such acquirement has also been included. The different forms of organization used in irrigation development are also covered in the course in this field as given at the University of California. These have not been included herein. However, as excellent bulletins on these organizations by Mr. Wells Hutchins, of the Bureau of Agricultural Engineering, U.S. Department of Agriculture, are available and adequate.
The material presented includes law, engineering, and public policy. It has been prepared by the writer because no available books covered the portions of these subjects which it was desired to present except legal texts of much greater length and detail than are suitable for use by non-legal students. The Elements of Western Water Law, by Mr. A. E. Chandler, covered this field adequately and was used as long as it was available. Since this has been out of print, mimeographed notes prepared by the writer have been used. Among other books in this field may be mentioned such extensive legal texts as Water Rights in the Western States, by Samuel C. Wiel, and Law of Irrigation, by C. S. Kinney. A History of Public Land Policies, by B. H. Hibbard, covers this subject thoroughly. Water Supply and Utilization, by Baker and Conkling, includes chapters on water - rights and their administration.
As this discussion has been prepared largely for use with California students, more attention has been given to matters relating to riparian rights than the extent of their use throughout the West would justify. Owing to its recognition of riparian rights to a much greater extent than the other western states, California has experienced a larger amount of complications and restrictions in the orderly development of her water resources than have those states abrogating or more closely limiting riparian rights. A fairly complete discussion of California water-right history is necessary to an understanding of the present status of riparian rights there, although recent constitutional amendments and court decisions give grounds for much hope that a more practicable basis has been reached.
The material presented herein rests on the author's contact with this filed for over twenty-five years. This contact has included procedure before state offices supervising water rights in several of the western states, adjudications in both state and federal courts, and work as consultant for state, federal, and private agencies. The writer has found his associate membership in the Association of Western State Engineers particularly helpful in obtaining a perspective of this filed as distinguished from the more local point of view of the separate states.
The material presented herein was completed in October, 1935, and includes the court decisions and records available to the author to that date.

The Creative Role of the Supreme Court of the United States
$14.23
Book
Here is a book of prime concern to every interested in the Supreme Court of the United States.
The Constitution of the United States, said Woodrow Wilson, is “not a mere lawyer’s document.” It is, he said, “the vehicle of a nation’s life.” So, too, the Supreme Court, as the arbiter and interpreter of the Constitution, serves not merely the negative purpose of checking excesses in judicial practice, but also the vital and dynamic function of modulating the life of the nation. Here, in a book remarkable for its grasp of the history and meaning of the Constitution, a distinguished Indian jurist provides us with one of the clearest and freshest summaries ever written of the place of the Supreme Court in the fabric of our political and social structure.
To Mr. Ramaswamy the Supreme Court stands as a symbol of “the idea of justice in a storm-tossed world.” The court maintains the balance of the delicate constitutional machine and thus of the whole of the American system of government. Mr. Ramaswamy shows how this works, considering in detail the role of the Court in the three important areas: constitutional law, the federal system, and civil liberties. He suggests that “the great reservoir of wisdom existing in the decisions of the Supreme Court” is not only a guide to solution of the many complex problems of the United States, but also that it is “of incalculable value to the future well-being of mankind.”
No group of men enjoys greater dignity and prestige than the judges of the Supreme Court. “By the distinguished quality of their work they have made and continue to make notable contributions not only to the successful working of the federal policy established by the Constitution, but also to the fostering of the attitudes among the American people which make for the orderly working and advancement of society.” Mr. Ramaswamy reviews and examines these contributions in point of their validity and significance. In an epilogue, he present a provocative analysis of the meaning of the Supreme Court to the people of another great democracy, and shows how America’s experience in the operation of its Constitution has influenced the shape and character of India’s new constitution.
At the time of publication, M. Ramaswamy was Senior Advocate of the Supreme court in India. In his book, Fundamental Rights, Mr. Ramaswamy presented a draft Code of Fundamental Rights, which was subsequently adopted in much the same form by the framers of the new constitution of India.

The State and Freedom of Contract
$23.05
Book
The relationship of law to economic freedom has been a vital element in the history of all modern democratic societies. "Freedom of contract" is both a technical term in law, referring to private agreements and promises, and a metaphor often deployed to describe economic liberty. This volume of new essays by eminent legal historians offers fresh perspectives on freedom of contract in both senses of the term, and considers how economic freedom relates to such classic political freedoms as free speech and other Anglo-American constitutional norms. The principal focus of the essays is on broad issues of policy and law, rather than on narrow considerations of legal doctrine.
All the contributors reject stereotypes that pervade the existing literature about the allegedly unalloyed individualism of the common law, and show how active state interventions of various kinds have shaped contract law in relation to social change throughout our legal history. Equally, however, they reject shibboleths regarding "bringing the state back in, " and take a hard look at the claims of statist ideology regarding the norms and rules that have established the legal boundaries of liberty in the modern industrial and post-industrial eras.
The topics covered are Blackstone's claim that property was the "despotic dominion of the private owner" (A. W. B. Simpson), labor and contract (John V. Orth), the influence of philosophical trends on legal innovations (James Gordley), contract and individualism (David Lieberman), the tradition of public rights (Harry N. Scheiber), the formal concept of "liberty of contract" in American law (Charles McCurdy), the interwoven history of labor law and contract law (ArthurMcEvoy), public policy in relation to natural resources (Donald Pisani), and globalization of freedom of contract (Martin Shapiro).
