151277Cambridge Massachusetts: The Harvard Law Review Association 1984. Original November 1984 offprint Harvard Law Review containing David L. Shapiro’s "Wrong Turns: The Eleventh Amendment and the Pennhurst Case." Octavo original publisher’s wrappers Volume 98 Number 1. Presentation copy inscribed by the author on the front wrapper "For Ruth With all best regards David."  The recipient Ruth Bader Ginsburg served as an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1993 until her death in 2020 and was responsible for some of the most eventful legal decisions of the past half-century. Nominated by President Bill Clinton in 1993 to replace retiring justice Byron White Ginsburg became the first Jewish woman and the second woman to serve on the Court after Sandra Day O’Connor. Ginsburg spent much of her legal career as an advocate for gender equality and women’s rights winning many arguments before the Supreme Court. During her tenure as associate justice of the Supreme Court Ginsburg received attention for her fiery and passionate dissents that reflected liberal views of the law. She was popularly dubbed “the Notorious R.B.G.†a moniker she later embraced. She authored several important majority opinions related to gender discrimination voting rights and affirmative action in cases such as United States v. Virginia 1996 which struck down the Virginia Military Institute’s male-only admissions policy as violating the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment Olmstead v. L.C. 1999 in which the Court ruled that mental illness is a form of disability covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and Friends of the Earth Inc. v. Laidlaw Environmental Services Inc. 2000 in which the Court held that residents have standing to seek fines for an industrial polluter that affected their interests and that is able to continue doing so. In fine condition with a few pencil notations. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box by the Harcourt Bindery. David L. Shapiro 1932–2023 was a distinguished Harvard Law School professor and a leading authority on federal courts and civil procedure widely regarded as an influential figure in modern federal courts jurisprudence. Over a career spanning several decades at Harvard Shapiro shaped scholarly and judicial understanding of jurisdiction judicial review and the institutional role of federal courts within the constitutional system. Ruth Bader Ginsburg remembered him in his Harvard Law Review In Memoriam issue "Among members of the legal academy David L. Shapiro impressed me as the very best the most devoted to his teaching and writing the least self-regarding. He was ever mindful of the importance of facts and of the law's impact on the people law exists or should exist to serve. And I will miss our correspondence about the Court's jurisprudence his applause for some of our decisions his worries about others. But I count it my good fortune to have known David L. Shapiro a man as kind and caring as he was brilliant." The Harvard Law Review Association unknown

19390002021Germany Poland Europe. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1939. On offer is an absolutely superb photo record of the work and travels of a German soldier across war torn Europe. The person who put this album together is a German soldier. He was a member of the Heer or Army one of the 3 elements of the Wehrmacht or National Defence Force. A separate element of the German military was the Shultzstaffel or Nazi Party paramilitary force. They were known and recognized by the abbreviation SS usually depicted as the distinctive lightening runes. They in turn had a combat force known as the Waffen SS. We know that he was an army soldier vs SS soldier by the insignia seen in all of the pictures. The standard badge of the Heer is the national tri-color cockade with a concentric black and white circles and a red central dot. And a red center dot This is present throughout the photos on many of his subjects. The Waffen SS deaths head badge or totenkopf is not found in any picture. Further he most likely was a member of an army engineering unit as one picture depicts the presentation of a Pioneer Engineering Battalion flag. The pictures were taken in widely different locations in Europe which also suggests an Engineering Unit as they were present in every theatre of war and area of occupation. The pictures provide a fascinating look at daily life in a combat. The pictures are almost exclusively of enlisted men. The pictures capture soldiers in a variety of circumstances. Many are engaged in parades or marches. Others are doing agricultural work. This is not an anomaly as the German government recognized that food production was a critical weakness and sought to remedy this. Other pictures showing the transfer of wounded soldiers onto hospital trains. Many show soldiers at rest or in casual circumstances several sitting at a table having a cup of coffee enjoying a beer with fellow soldiers group pictures of soldiers out in the streets. Some pictures can be geo-located. There are pictures taken in France as several show the Verdun Monument located in the north-eastern department of Meuse very close to the ruined village of Fleurydevant Douaumont. Another picture shows the evocative sculpture known as the Wounded Lion also in Fleury-devant Douaumont. Still another 32/1 shows the Douaumony Ossuary which contains the skeletal remains of at least 130000 unidentified combatants of both France and Germany. There is a picture of the Church of St. Elizabeth in the city of Marburg located in central Germany. There is a visible reference on the back of one photograph to the city of Wroclaw Poland. This city was originally in Germany and was known as Breslau. During World War II Breslau witnessed significant persecution of its Polish and Jewish population including deportations to forced labour and Nazi concentration camps Also tens of thousands of forced labourers and prisoners of war of various nationalities were imprisoned in multiple German labour camps and prisons throughout the city which would necessitate the presence of Engineering units. Another group of pictures are geo-located to Poland. Specifically there is a photograph of the Black Madonna of Czestochowa as well as other pictures taken in Czestochowa. Another picture is geolocated to the Polish city of Krakow. For a military historian this is a superb collection of authentic photographs that document aspects of the daily life of ordinary soldiers caught up in the greatest conflagration of modern history. This album measures 7.0 inches by 11.5. The covers are a black pebbled leather and are in good condition as is the binding. The binding is a white cord in good condition. Embossed on the front cover in white is the distinctive stahlhelm or steel helmet commonly referred to as the coal scuttle helmet The helmet bears the crest of the German army a German eagle holding a swastika in its talons known as the Reichsadler . The pages are in good condition. The album contains 154 black and white photographs that measure on average x by y inches. The pictures are mounted in the album. Some of the photos that have come loose from the mountings do have notations on the back but it is not possible to remove the photos that are not loose without damaging the album.
