Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Public Defender Noah Shane receives a mysterious package from Veterans Affairs psychiatrist Dr. David Samson, who ministers to 28 exceedingly violent Vietnam veterans at a hospital compound in the remote jungle of the Big Island of Hawaii. Using unorthodox treatment, the doctor has recently achieved a breakthrough but, when one vet kills another, he is charged with complicity in the murder, and asks Noah to defend him. Though puzzled about this jungle doctor selecting an ordinary public defender as his defense lawyer, Noah decides that a brief adventure might help ease a growing case of PD burnout. He has no way of knowing that this foray will turn out to be much more. Investigation discloses that the charges have been manufactured by Dr. Samson's superior, who masterminded a plot to cover up unspeakable biological experiments with support from shadowy figures as far up the chain of command as the Pentagon. As the criminal case against Dr. Samson unfolds simultaneously with a makeshift court-martial at the isolated Heart of Darkness jungle compound, the sinister project that has been hidden with these forsaken bush vets for 40 years is revealed. Staggered by shocking discoveries about his history in the course of the proceedings, Noah struggles with the strength of his own character as it is profoundly challenged in the explosive climax. In his outstanding debut novel, Ivan Weinberg serves up a legal thriller unlike any I've ever read before. He combines his intricate knowledge of the law, gained from over 30 years practicing at the bar, with a thrilling look at combat-stressed veterans living in self-imposed exile on the lush island of Hawaii. Ivan gives us a rare blend of action and legal intrigue in this courtroom drama about a bizarre military experiment gone horribly wrong. It will stick with you long after you've turned the last page. -- STEPHEN J. CANNELL, television writer, director and producer, and best selling author. A fast-paced legal thriller, with courtroom scenes that ring true. -- Reviewing the Evidence. …

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Based on a series of lectures given by Leonard Peikoff in 1981, Principles of Grammar offers not only an organized survey of grammatical rules and principles but their connection to the principles of clear thinking and clear writing. At the end of the course, says Dr. Peikoff, you should be able to see every grammatical rule, directly or indirectly, as a consequence or expression of some essential requirement of the human mind, not a simply a hodge-podge of memorized rules that make no sense. . I hope that the course will give you] a sense of logic and security. Logic in regard to understanding the nature of grammatical issues-why they are as they are-and therefore security in regard to the whole subject. You will know the purpose, the rationale of the rules, and so I hope you will be able to think at the end that you can now make decisions on your own dubious or controversial cases. You don't have to rely helplessly on authorities.About the Author: Leonard PeikoffLeonard Peikoff is the preeminent Ayn Rand scholar writing today.

He has taught philosophy at several places, including Hunter College and New York University, and has lectured throughout the United States. Peikoff is the author of Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand; The DIM Hypothesis: Why the Lights of the West Are Going Out; and The Ominous Parallels. He grew up in Western Canada and now lives in Southern California.Michael S.

With the wealth of information (of both correct and incorrect usage), this book will appeal to anyone who wants to improve his writing and communication skills.…
