After the nuclear deluge . . . The Blessed Leibowitz, dead now, lo, these 600 years, was due for canonization. Only the Leibowitzian records of the destroyed civilization remained. And monks spent lifetimes illuminating and interpreting his works in order to reconstruct the world as it had been.

Winner of the 1961 Hugo Award for Best Novel and widely considered one of the most accomplished, powerful, and enduring classics of modern speculative fiction, Walter M. Miller, Jr.'s A Canticle for Leibowitz is a true landmark of twentieth-century literature -- a chilling and still-provocative look at a post-apocalyptic future.   In a nightmarish ruined world slowly awakening to the light after sleeping in darkness, the infant rediscoveries of science are secretly nourished by cloistered monks dedicated to the study and preservation of the relics and writings of the blessed Saint Isaac Leibowitz. From here the story spans centuries of ignorance, violence, and barbarism, viewing through a sharp, satirical eye the relentless progression of a human race damned by its inherent humanness to recelebrate its grand foibles and repeat its grievous mistakes. Seriously funny, stunning, and tragic, eternally fresh, imaginative, and altogether remarkable, A Canticle for Leibowitz retains its ability to enthrall and amaze. It is now, as it always has been, a masterpiece.

Canticle for Leibowitz

Forty years after the classic A Canticle for Leibowitz, Walter Miller returns to a world struggling to transcend a terrifying legacy of darkness, as one man undertakes an odyssey of adventure and discovery that promises to alter the destiny of humankind . . . . Isolated in Leibowitz Abbey, Brother Blacktooth St. George suffers a crisis of faith, torn between his vows and his Nomad upbringing, between the Holy Virgin and visions of the Wild Horse Woman of his people. At the brink of disgrace and expulsion from his order, the young monk is championed by a powerful cardinal who has plans for him. Blacktooth sets out on a journey across a landscape still scarred by the long-ago Flame Deluge, a land divided by nature, politics, and war. He will find horrors and wonders, sins of the flesh . . . and love. As he encounters and reencounters a beautiful but forbidden mutant named Ædrea, he begins to wonder: is a she-devil, the Holy Mother, or the Wild Horse Woman herself?

This book focuses on eleven problems, based upon factual situations, concerning bankruptcy. These problems include how to reorganize a failing business using the Bankruptcy Code; how to help individuals restructure their finances in order to pull out of debt and get a fresh start; how to use the Bankruptcy Code to pull out of debt; how to help working families and middle management executives financially survive and prosper; and how the Bankruptcy Code fits with other statutes. Also addressed are such topics as privacy and customer lists as assets of the estate; toxic torts and how to save a business overwhelmed with lawsuits; municipal financial failure and how the Bankruptcy Code can help; Enron and fraud in business; and how to guard against business takeovers using the Bankruptcy Code. This book makes readers think in terms of problem solutions as opposed to simply case or concept analysis. Cases, questions, and text are used as means to explain and solve the problems, and the problems increase in complexity as the book goes on. This book deals with fundamentals, concepts, and structuring a plan, however each problem addressed can and does stand alone as a situation requiring a lawyer's skill to resolve. Bankruptcy is not a problem book in the sense that a reader needs a text or casebook to go with it. Alone, it is a fully integrated tool that shows readers how to use the Bankruptcy Code as a means of solving legal problems.

Designed for one-term contracts courses, Contracts: Problems, Cases and Materials covers a wide range of contractual obligations such as employment, land sale, sale/lease of goods, arbitration, prisoner's rights, advertising, state/municipal government contracts, etc., in a concise, problem-oriented manner. Organized on the basis of real-world legal practice, the book introduces the reader to a problem at the beginning of each section and then provides the reader with the resources to solve the problem as he or she progresses through the section. This method allows the reader to apply principles from cases and materials to solve problems, rather than merely to learn the principles involved in previously adjudicated situations. Miller begins Contracts: Problems, Cases and Materials with a discussion of intent and carries this theme throughout the book as he describes contract formation, interpretation and augmentation of contracts, contract enforcement, and third-party involvement. Field-tested for several years, the book enables the reader to thoroughly cover all aspects of the field of contracts. A teacher's manual is available.
