Shakespeare: The World as a Stage

BRYSON, BILL.

Written by retired Assistant U.S. Attorney Roger Haines, this is the first treatise on federal enclave law since the government's 1957 Interdepartmental Report. It comprehensively organizes the case law, and explains where the 1957 Report went wrong, in clear, understandable language. It also discusses recent cases holding that, contrary to 100 years of interpretation, some National Forests in North Carolina, Oklahoma and Michigan are under concurrent enclave jurisdiction. The book includes a description of enclaves by federal agency, and particular State laws that apply (or do not yet apply) to federal enclaves, including wage and hour law, whistleblower and anti-discrimination laws, and right to work laws. Criminal topics include the Assimilative Crimes Act, the Posse Comitatus Act, and the Federal Crimes Act of 1790. A chapter is devoted to the the relation of the Enclave Clause to the Supremacy Clause. There is also a detailed description of the checkerboard of enclave jurisdiction on federal property in the Southern District of California. The book is hardcover, 334 pp., including 20 colored jurisdictional maps of Navy properties and an extensive Descriptive Word Index.

Slate pioneered online journalism-and now, in celebration of its 10th anniversary, a collection of its smartest, funniest and best reporting. When Slate launched in June 1996, the web was a novelty and internet journalism scarcely existed. In the decade since, Slate has emerged as the most important new magazine of its generation. It has shaped how Americans think about politics, media, and culture, published some of the most exciting writers around, and pioneered an entirely original kind of journalism. 
 The Best of Slate captures the magazine's funny, conversational style, its extraordinary variety, and its provocative intellectual fierceness. The anthology will collect more than 60 pieces from the magazine's including articles by Michael Lewis, Jeffrey Goldberg, Christopher Hitchens, Jack Shafer, Dahlia Lithwick, Marjorie Williams, Jeffrey Steingarten, and Atul Gawande. Slate founding editor Michael Kinsley contributes an opening essay on Slate's history, and current Slate editor Jacob Weisberg contributes the introduction.

Did Lewis and Clark really matter? What does it take to become a dictator's son, or a MacArthur Genius Grant awardee? Why is baseball always dying? Answers abound in Backstabbers, Crazed Geniuses, and Animals We Hate: fifty razor-sharp, contrarian looks at today's cultural landscape. 
Drawing on seven years of Slate's Assessment column, editor David Plotz has compiled a pop-culture reference guide to everyone from L. Ron Hubbard to Scooby-Doo, everything from Bill O'Reilly's secret snobbery to the sudden newsworthiness of a little gland called the prostate. 
Both Mother Nature and Lobbyists are "Backstabbers." "Crazed Geniuses"? Antonin Scalia and the Cirque du Soleil, to name a few. And when it comes to the common ground between Frank Sinatra and Jesus Christ, they're "Dead, but Won't Go Away." Hilarious and brilliant, Backstabbers, Crazed Geniuses and Animals We Hate offers an incisive take on the society you thought you knew. (Did you know, for instance, that Kim Jong-Il has long been rumored to have a fondness for blondes?)

In an era of unprecedented transformation, today's workplaces are stressed, overloaded, and burned out. Organizations don't change, people do. We have only touched the tip of the iceberg of what sustains great human performance in a collaborative, service-driven economy. Now more than ever, presidents and their teams need to understand what culture is, how it drives competition, and how to reshape their company's ability to lead and gain buy-in for ongoing change; deliver consistent growth rates, exceeding corporate goals; serve demanding customer needs better, faster, and with greater value; and foster greater employee ownership and commitment. Transforming Corporate Culture draws nine lessons from nature as a uniquely relevant lens for today's business challenges. Drawing stories and practical examples from culture changes led by CEOs and presidents, this book shows that survival of the fittest is not just a science theory, but a principle for gaining a competitive edge in business.
