Throughout its 80 years of existence, Business Law: The Ethical, Global, and Digital Environment has been a leader and an innovator in the fields of business law and the legal environment of business. This textbook was the first to inject regulatory materials into a business law textbook, defining the legal environment approach to business law and over the years, has also been a pioneer, introducing materials on business ethics, corporate social responsibility, global legal issues, and e-commerce law. One reason for the book's success is its clear and comprehensive treatment of the standard topics that form the traditional business law curriculum, providing all business majors with a firm understanding of law in the context of business.It engages students with cases that are current and relevant, but also maintains "landmark" cases, as well as cases from the past, that are superior to more current cases in teaching students a particular topic. The program also provides content topics t

朱利安‧巴恩斯(Julian Barnes)是英國當代文壇中最具特色的寫作者之一，2011年獲布克獎。他對於歷史主題的強烈興趣貫穿於其整個創作生涯。目前國內外學界對巴恩斯歷史寫作的研究或者因拘泥於個別作品而缺失了整體和宏觀的視野，或者因陷入理論先行而使作品成為新歷史主義理論的附屬。本書考察他在文學書寫中對於“歷史真實”這一概念的深刻思考和獨特表達，文本聚焦于巴恩斯對於“歷史真實”的各種具體文本表現

Kings of Mississippi examines how a twentieth-century black middle-class family navigated life in rural Mississippi. The book introduces seven generations of a farming family and provides an organic examination of how the family experienced life and economic challenges as one of few middle-class black families living and working alongside the many struggling black and white sharecroppers and farmers in Gallman, Mississippi. Family narratives and census data across time and a socio-ecological lens help assess how race, religion, education, and key employment options influenced economic and non-economic outcomes. Family voices explain how intangible beliefs fueled socioeconomic outcomes despite racial, gender, and economic stratification. The book also examines the effects of stratification changes across time, including: post-migration; inter- and intra-racial conflicts and compromises; and, strategic decisions and outcomes. The book provides an unexpected glimpse at how a family's etho

English-language translations of Hitler's Mein Kampf during the 1930s raise a number of perplexing questions. Why did a translation not appear in Britain and America until October 1933, seven years after it had first been published in Germany and nine months after Hitler had come to power? When it appeared, why was it only an abridgment rather than the full text? Was it true, as some alleged, that the Nazis severely censored this version? Who was the translator, and why was his name absent from the English edition? When the complete text finally appeared in March 1939, why were there not only two American editions but a separate English edition as well? Did Hitler oppose publishing the entire text in foreign editions, or was its appearance delayed because the publishers felt that such a long and tedious autobiography was of limited public interest? These are the kinds of puzzling queries that intrigued the authors of this book.

Defining lies as statements that are intended to deceive, this book considers the contexts in which people tell lies, how they are detected and sometimes exposed, and the consequences for the liars themselves, their dupes, and the wider society. The author provides examples from a number of cultures with distinctive religious and ethical traditions, and delineates domains where lying is the norm, domains that are ambiguous and the one domain (science) that requires truthtelling. He refers to experimental studies on children that show how, at an early age, they acquire the capactiy to lie and learn when it is appropriate to do so. He reviews how lying has been evaluated by moralists, examines why we do not regard novels as lies and relates the human capacity to lie to deceit among other animal species. He concludes that although there are, in all societies, good pragmatic reasons for not lying all the time, there are also strong reasons for lying some of the time.
