Product Description 
In this fourth edition, our scholastic labor of love continues with our initial goal of providing sufficient coverage to allow for broad, deep, or broad and deep coverage. Knowledgeable observers know that the law of exempt organizations has become increasingly regulated. For example, provisions in the Affordable Care Act (which seems to have survived efforts at repeal), demand greater accountability (particularly regarding “community benefit”) from exempt health care. The extent to which exempt organizations may engage in political activities, although always controversial, has become even more of an issue since the last edition.\nIn this regard, we have sought to consolidate political activities into one chapter, rather than examine the issue as it relates to the different types of exempt organizations covered in different chapters. But these are only a few of the areas demonstrating continuing evolution in an area of law―the third sector―as much as government and business. The book continues to provide coverage of as many of the exempt organizations as there are statutory authorizations. Professors may therefore select which areas are most important according to their own pedagogical beliefs and even geographical regions.\nLabor organizations, for example, may not be as important to law students in southern states where organized labor has less influence than in midwestern and northeastern regions. While we have consolidated some of the materials regarding private foundations, there is still enough (and probably more) for coverage of the important subject in a survey course, or for use of the book on a seminar (for example) solely on private foundations. We hope too, that the fourth edition remains in students’ personal libraries well after graduation as it is useful to those attorney members unversed in the area but who are asked to lend efforts to their own civic organizations.

Studies on finds in Roman Britain and the Western Provinces have come to greater prominence in the literature of recent years. The quality of such work has also improved, and is now theoretically informed, and based on rich data-sets. Work on finds over the last decade or two has changed our understanding of the Roman era in profound ways, and yet despite such encouraging advances and such clear worth, there has to date, been little in the way of a dedicated forum for the presentation and evaluation of current approaches to the study of material culture. The conference at which these papers were initially presented has gone some way to redressing this, and these papers bring the very latest studies on Roman finds to a wider audience. Twenty papers are here presented covering various themes.Table of ContentsThe Context of Roman Finds Studies 1. Roman Finds: Context and Theory (Steven Willis and Richard Hingley) 2.

This volume of JRPS carries a broad range of papers reflecting the detailed ongoing scholarship in the field of Roman pottery studies. There is a marked international dimension to the eleven papers. In part, this simply follows from the extensive geography of the Roman Empire and its influence, yet it also reflects the identification of the Journal of Roman Pottery Studies as a leading vehicle for the publication of quality research in Roman ceramics not only from Roman Britain but from the whole of the Roman Empire. Also includes an editorial, book reviews and obituaries.Table of Contents1. Beyond the confines of empire: a reassessment of the Roman coarse wares from Traprain Law 1  (Louisa Campbell)   2.
