Justice Takes a Recess: Judicial Recess Appointments from George Washington to George W. Bush (After the Empire: the Francophone World and Postcolonial France) by Robert M. Howard, Scott E. Graves
English | June 16, 2009 | ISBN: 073912661X, 0739126628 | EPUB | 126 pages | 2.3 MB
The Constitution allows the president to "fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session." In Justice Takes a Recess, Scott E. Graves and Robert M. Howard address how presidents have used recess appointments over time and whether the independence of judicial recess appointees is compromised. They argue that these appointments can upset the separation of powers envisioned by the Framers, shifting power away from one branch of government and toward another.

Judging Law and Policy: Courts and Policymaking in the American Political System by Robert M. Howard, Amy Steigerwalt
English | August 8, 2011 | ISBN: 0415885248, 0415885256 | EPUB | 224 pages | 2.7 MB
To what extent do courts make social and public policy and influence policy change? This innovative text analyzes this question generally and in seven distinct policy areas that play out in both federal and state courts―tax policy, environmental policy, reproductive rights, sex equality, affirmative action, school finance, and same-sex marriage. The authors address these issues through the twin lenses of how state and federal courts must and do interact with the other branches of government and whether judicial policy-making is a form of activist judging.

Steven Kay, "Intuitive Probability and Random Processes using MATLAB"
English | 2005 | ISBN: 0387241574, 1489977333 | 852 pages | PDF | 57.5 MB
Intuitive Probability and Random Processes using MATLAB® is an introduction to probability and random processes that merges theory with practice. Based on the author's belief that only "hands-on" experience with the material can promote intuitive understanding, the approach is to motivate the need for theory using MATLAB examples, followed by theory and analysis, and finally descriptions of "real-world" examples to acquaint the reader with a wide variety of applications. The latter is intended to answer the usual question "Why do we have to study this?" Other salient features are:

Thamizhini, "In the Shadow of a Sword: The Memoir of a Woman Leader in the LTTE"
English | ISBN: 935388683X | 2020 | 224 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Thamizhini joined the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) at the age of nineteen and spent eighteen years as a combatant, educator and, for some time, head of the women's division of its Political Wing. Her memoir, In the Shadow of a Sword, weaves back and forth between reminiscences of her childhood experiences of state violence and her decision to join the LTTE. It recounts the many projects she undertook for the civilian population; her participation in the Peace Talks of 2002; the freedoms granted and constraints placed upon her during the armed struggle; and her experiences in combat training, on the battlefield, and in political negotiations and diplomacy. It is a narrative weighted with grief and remorse yet glistening with moments of humour and thick with compassion. The memoir contains wry observations on gender roles and media manipulation in times of war and is a valuable archive that rescues female combatants from oblivion.

Hume's An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals: A Critical Guide by Esther Engels Kroeker and Willem Lemmens
English | Feb 28, 2021 | ISBN: 110842287X | 290 pages | PDF | 1,7 MB
Hume considered his Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals to be one of his best works. In it he offers his most elegant and approachable account of the origins and scope of morality. With the hope of reaching a broad audience, he argues that morality is neither rigid nor austere, but is rather a product of sentiments that all human beings share, and which they are naturally inclined to recognize and act upon. In this Critical Guide, a team of distinguished scholars discuss each section of the Enquiry, its place in Hume's philosophy as a whole, and its historical context; their topics include the nature of morals, talents and moral virtues, benevolence, sympathy, and the sources of moral disagreement. The volume will be valuable for scholars and advanced students working on Hume.
