New Releases by Paul Newman

NINE FROM THE NINTH Thirty years after the Vietnam War, three soldiers collaborate with three short stories each to create Nine From The Ninth. They served with the Ninth Infantry Division in the Mekong Delta. Rangers Bob Wallace and Paul A. Newman depict moments of joy, friendship, and surprise mixed with terror, anger and hate while serving with Co. E, 75th Inf. (Rangers). Jack Bick photographed and wrote stories about the Rangers and Infantrymen while serving as a Public Information Officer. His stories were published in the Stars and Stripes and The Octofoil, a monthly publication on the Ninth Infantry Division. This book will make you reevaluate Vietnam and the boys who served there. It will make you appreciate the conflict of cultures, rank, and war. A book to reread, ponder and keep.

This is a unique illustrated social history of fear, which ranges from the prehistoric terror of ancestral spirits through to the modern phenomenon of alien abduction.

When two friends meet after an absence of ten years, they have both changed considerably. Inseparable in youth, they find that as mature adults the relationship of friendship alters. After an argument over religion, Sam proposes a wager that the story of Job is fiction, that a man that loses everything, will indeed lose his faith. Sam acts and Joe B loses everything, his children, his home, his health. Sam eventually destroys his friendship with his old friend, Hank. Hank destroys his own life. Joe B, miraculously, maintains his faith.

For some years there has been growing dissatisfaction with litigation and arbitration as a means of settling construction disputes, and increasingly parties have been turning to adjudication and alternative dispute resolution (ADR). This trend was given a major impetus by the introduction of the 1996 Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act and the Scheme for Construction Contracts, which resulted in statutory adjudication being introduced in most of the main building and engineering standard forms. This book surveys the growth of ADR and looks in detail at the various methods: * adjudication and expert determination * mediation and conciliation * dispute review boards and disputes advisers * other forms, such as mini-trial and mediation-arbitration It discusses the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act and the Scheme for Construction Contracts, and their effect on adjudication and construction contracts considering both procedural and legal issues. It looks in detail at the adjudication clauses of all the main building and engineering contracts.

"ADR as an alternative forum for litigation is of increasing importance to lawyers and others involved in disputes. The impact of the CPR and other major changes to the civil litigation system mean that it is essential that practitioners in all areas of law have a working knowledge of the practice and procedure of litigation using ADR. Paul Newman''s book provides an excellent tool to get that working knowledge. Key contents: The role of arbitration; Practical issues in using ADR Mediation; Other forms of ADR: The Mini Trial; Rent-a-Judge; Adjudication; Mediation-Arbitration (MedArb); Legal concerns: limitation; achieving certainty; privilege and witness compellability; Extensive appendices include model clauses, model procedure and relevant practice directions. As a practitioner and author of EMIS''s Construction Litigation Tactics, Paul Newman is able to draw on extensive knowledge of ADR and its role in practice in civil litigation. "

Effects of three mulches of tree foliage and twigs (red alder, Douglas-fir, and salal) and homogenized, partially decomposed material (forest floor) on soil macronutrients (Ca, K, Mg, P, NO3, and NH4) were evaluated in the summer of 1997. These effects were measured with buried, coated ion-exchange resin bags at two different times (2 and 12 weeks) and at two different depths (2 and 15 cm) in homogenized soil cores. Over the time of this study various mulches had no significantly different impact on nutrient ions sorbed on the buried resins. The results indicated that in the early stages of decomposition, chemical differences in the plant material evaluated do not differentially influence soluble nutrients sorbed on buried resins. However, some of this lack of difference may have been due to the preparation of the mulches. The preparation included chopping and shredding, which may have eliminated differences that exist in a more natural setting. The effect of forest floor material was significant on three of six response variables. The interaction of forest floor and mulch was significant for all variables except K. Whether the interaction decreased or increased the mean amount of a given response variable was dependent on the type of mulch material. The exception was NO3, which in all cases increased in the presence of forest floor in combination with mulch. The results indicate that microbial populations that reside in the forest floor interact differently with the types of plant mulches placed over them. The effect of time was significant for all response variables with K, Ca, and Mg responding in a proportional manner. Nitrate and ammonium concentrations increased exponentially over time, which indicated a rather vigorous biological population involved in decomposition of nitrogen-containing organic compounds. The effect of depth was significant for all variables except for P. More nutrients accumulated at the 15 cm depth than at the 2 cm depth, which was not expected. This possibly indicates high immobilization due to microbes at the surface. The results of P may have been due to the type of resin used and the pH of the soil cores. The results suggest that forest floor material has more influence with above ground additions of soil macro-nutrients than fresh plant material. However, the detected interactions of these two types of materials suggest that ion cycling can be influenced very early in the litter decomposition process. A second study tested the effect of saturated soil coated resin bags versus non-coated bags. The results strongly suggest that the effect of coating resin bags with a thin slurry of saturated soil paste significantly decreases variation in tests of Ca, Mg, NO3, and NH4. The minimal amount of work with this procedure suggests that it is advantageous for evaluating most macro-nutrients with resin bags, particularly NO3 and NH4.

An autobiographical reflection by the editor of Abraxas. C. Wilson, of course, features from page 30 onwards. Also contains a brief history of Abraxas to Issue 11.

The aim of this text is to bring about a general understanding of the relevant law and insolvency practice in relation to the construction industry.

Press kit includes 12 pamphlets, 1 sheet loose copy, and 4 photographs.
