Henry Friendly, Greatest Judge of His Era by David M. Dorsen Pdf

Henry Friendly is frequently grouped with Oliver Wendell Holmes, Louis Brandeis, Benjamin Cardozo, and Learned Hand as the best American jurists of the twentieth century. In this first, comprehensive biography of Friendly, David M. Dorsen opens a unique window onto how a judge of this caliber thinks and decides cases, and how Friendly lived his life. During his time on the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (1959–1986), Judge Friendly was revered as a conservative who exemplified the tradition of judicial restraint. But he demonstrated remarkable creativity in circumventing precedent and formulating new rules in multiple areas of the law. Henry Friendly, Greatest Judge of His Era describes the inner workings of Friendly’s chambers and his craftsmanship in writing opinions. His articles on habeas corpus, the Fourth Amendment, self-incrimination, and the reach of the state are still cited by the Supreme Court. Dorsen draws on extensive research, employing private memoranda between the judges and interviews with all fifty-one of Friendly’s law clerks—a veritable Who’s Who that includes Chief Justice John R. Roberts, Jr., six other federal judges, and seventeen professors at Harvard, Yale, Stanford, and elsewhere. In his Foreword, Judge Richard Posner writes: “David Dorsen has produced the most illuminating, the most useful, judicial biography that I have ever read . . . We learn more about the American judiciary at its best than we can learn from any other . . . Some of what I’ve learned has already induced me to make certain changes in my judicial practice.”

Sophie Halaby in Jerusalem by Laura S. Schor Pdf

A pioneer among Palestinian artists, Sophie Halaby was the first Arab woman to study art in Paris, subsequently living independently as a professional painter in Jerusalem throughout her life. She was born in 1906 in Kiev to a Russian mother and a Christian Arab father. Her family fled to Jerusalem in 1917 in the wake of the Russian Revolution. Her life was marked by violence and war, including the Arab Revolt from 1936 to 1939, the Nakba in 1948, and the Six-Day War in 1967. In response, Halaby drew a series of political cartoons criticizing British rule and Zionist goals; later in life, she followed the work of younger artists who supported the Palestine liberation movement. However, the political turmoil of her times is largely not depicted in her art. Instead, her work is a tribute to the enduring beauty of the landscape and flora of Jerusalem, often sketched in pen and ink or red and black chalk, and painted with egg tempera, oils, and watercolors. Schor’s compelling biography shines new light on this little-known artist and enriches our understanding of modern Palestinian history.

The Reluctant Empress by Brigitte Hamann Pdf

The real-life tale behind Netflix's Empress Sisi and the Anarchist, whose assassination in 1898 shocked the world. Empress Elisabeth of Austria, known to her family as 'Sisi', belongs to a famous love story of European royalty. In 1853 the Emperor Franz Josef, the most eligible bachelor in Europe, fell in love with her at first sight when she was 15. They were married the next year. On the surface, it was a fairy-tale marriage, all the more poignant, with hindsight, because her tragic death augured the twilight years of the Habsburg Empire. First published in 1988, Brigitte Hamann's definitive biography tells Elisabeth's story from her birth into Bavarian nobility to her assassination at the hands of an Italian anarchist. In her lifetime she was idolised solely for her grace and beauty; but Hamann shows us a stronger character, bitter at her marriage, seeking independence, and struggling against the powerful influence of her mother-in-law, the Archduchess Sophie.

Your Perfect Life (Nappy Version) by Barry Oliver Pdf

Most people go to Las Vegas with dreams of striking it rich, winning big at the casinos, and becoming a millionaire. This is not Kayden June's dream. He has come to Las Vegas to lose everything if possible, a seemingly easy thing to do in a city designed for consuming money, but a task that becomes deceptively difficult for this unlucky man from Sioux Falls, South Dakota. When a three-year engagement to his best friend Lucille falls apart, Kayden himself falls apart. He now dreams of an outrageous gambling spree in Vegas, anticipating he will lose his entire life's savings. Instead, he gains an unexpected friendship under circumstances he could have never imagined. All thanks to a drug called Dexomeral. Dexomeral (Dexo for short) can fulfill your every dream. It can take you anywhere or any when you want to go. You can become anyone you want to be. Dexo users experience their perfect life all within their minds, thanks to a drug effect called the Lucid Hypnotic State. To his chagrin, Kayden meets and then befriends a Dexo user, a man whose fantasy is to become a young school-age boy just starting life in kindergarten and still needs diapers at night. But who is the real person behind the dream? With Dexomeral, the lines between reality and fantasy can be erased. Can Kayden give his friendship to two wildly different persons of vastly different ages? Well, as the slogan goes, “You haven’t seen everything until you’ve seen it in Vegas.”
