New Releases by Frank Murphy

"The Spirit of Tea" is a radical departure from all of the tea books on the market today. It touches upon tea''s transcendental nature that no book has yet examined. While a lot is written about tea''s healing benefits and curative properties, tea''s more spiritual and mystical attributes gets little attention. The author was motivated to write this book because of the profound absence of information in this area. What is it that keeps us coming back to humanity''s favorite beverage next to water. Forget about English tea, cucumber sandwiches and petite fours. You won''t find them here because controversial aspects of tea''s intrinsic qualities are discussed. Myths about tea are debunked while others are reanimated while the reader is also given practical information, including the history and characteristics, special properties and features of the sixclassical catagories of tea: White, Yellow, Green, Oolong, Black (or Red in China), and Puerh teas. All are explained in great detail with information their varieties, their traditions, the nature of each, brewing techniques, along with an fascinating narrative. (1166)

This book sets out governing statutes and rules at the beginning of each chapter and includes sample litigation documents where possible. The structure of the casebook is to move chronologically through a typical patent case. The book begins with discussions of whom to sue, where to sue, pleading requirements, discovery, and trial strategy. It then moves into substantive legal issues, including pharmaceutical litigation under Hatch-Waxman and other specialized infringement issues, such as infringing exports, infringement by multiple actors, and the extraterritorial reach of U.S. patents. The book also provides a primer on the new America Invents Act prior art provisions. The book next addresses issues surrounding remedies, including injunctive relief, contempt proceedings (including the Federal Circuit''s en banc decision in TiVo v. Echostar), and damages.

This collection features three of our most popular biographies: Washington, the stoic general with a soft spot for animals; Jefferson, the brilliant statesman who was a foodie at heart, and Lincoln, the absentminded lawyer whose compassionate caseload foretold his presidency. Beginning readers will learn about little-known, illuminating events in the earlier years of these extraordinary men and how, long before entering the White House, they lived lives filled with intelligence, courage, and kindness--the hallmarks of a great president.

Author Frank Murphy details his childhood exploits with his sister. From trouble with electricity to Disneyland rides in the backyard to the revenge of the Barbie doll, Frank''s memoirs are unforgettable!

South Alabama head cross country/track and field coach Lee Evans partnered with renowned track biographer Frank Murphy to tell the story of the former 400-meter record-holder''s journey to become a champion at the 1968 Olympic Games.

The poems in this book are a series of reflections, many written in traditional verse. Poems that range through the human condition, the search for something else. An often humorous and hopefully entertaining look. From environmental issues to emigration, from the cinema to the old west, a cautionary word. The common link holding them together is that they have something to say and whether you agree, I leave it with you.
