50402bdWake-Brook House 1976. First Edition Stated. Octavo green leatherette hardcover silver letters 144 pp. Fine in a Very Good mylar protected dust jacket with edgewear that includes light chipping. From dust jacket: This is an important book -- and a valuable one. Probably there has never been another book quite like it. It is the history of Florida schools told from a hundred different viewpoints by the people most intimately involved in educational development. Teachers who devoted their lives ot the instruction of youth possess credentials which qualify them to serve as experts on any panel considering school problems or planning school policies. They richly deserve to be listened to and to have their advice taken seriously. In this book however they are not sitting in solemn judgment nor trying to dictate what should be done. They simply report what happened to the schools in which they taught and what happened to the students. But between the lines of thse brief reports there lies a wealth of priceless material which should be thoughtfully considered by everyone interested in our schools. We hasten to add however lest we frighten off any readers who may just wish to be informed or entertained that these reports make delightful reading and are often amusing. Anyone who ever attended school and of course that is all of us can identify with the characters and situations described here. Perhaps those who attendedonly the most modern institutions will react with horror at the idea of walking miles to a rural schoolhouse with outside privies. PErhaps those who received their early education in rural schools will recall those days with nostalgia. But whatever the reaction everyone can read these reports with sympathy and understanding. hardcover books

From dust jacket: Hanging chads. Butterfly ballots. Unruly demonstrations across the country. A state capital occupied by the national press corps. For thirty-six excruciating days in late 2000 a nation held its breath while behind closed doors the seven justices of the Florida Supreme Court debated the outcome of the presidential election. The events that transpired within the justices’ chambers -- their arguments exhortations and appeals to one another -- have remained a mystery. until now. Inside Bush v. Gore presents the unique candid and compelling perspective of the Florida Supreme Court Chief Justice who stood at the center of the storm. Charley Wells a strong dissenting voice in the court’s 4-3 decision that mandated a statewide manual recount gives an unprecedented play-by-play of those tumultuous days. Not only is his legal analysis of Bush v. Gore at the state and federal levels invaluable but he also offers an insider’s view of judicial relationships the frustrations of ambiguous election laws the difficulties of separating the legalities from the politics and the unsung yet critical role played by state court professionals. Ultimately Inside Bush v. Gore is a story about the transfer of power in a country that prides itself on the democratic process of electing its leaders and the ability of the court system to justly and fairly resolve disputes. With the advantage of hindsite and the perspective gained by reading countless commentaries and studies about the decisions of both the Florida and the United States Supreme Courts Wells highlights how the rule of law prevailed in the midst of one of the country’s most controversial elections in recent history.
