Contracts or Federal Budget

Contracts: Fourth Edition

Author: E Allan Farnsworth

Steer your students through the complexities of Contract Law with this leading textbook from E. Allan Farnsworth. Farnsworth's CONTRACTS, Third Edition, continues to provide students with an emphasis on those topics that figure prominently in most contracts courses, while it presents the most up—to—date information available. The book also offers a real—world focus which applies to all the major topics of the book: enforceability of promises, scope and effect of promises, rights of third parties, and remedies. CONTRACTS, Third Edition, is even more user—friendly, with fewer yet more specific footnotes, valuable citations, and a convenient index.

Revealing the entire context of contract law, Farnsworth:

explains the rule that governs a particular contractual situation

illustrates it with noteworthy examples of the rule in effect

poses thought—provoking questions

provides thorough answers to the questions

offers examples and references throughout the text which incorporate many recent cases

Reflecting the major developments in the field, CONTRACTS, Third Edition, addresses:

the Vienna Sales Convention (Convention on the International Sale of Goods)

UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts

new issues in pre—contractual liability

ongoing employment law contract issues: at—will contracts, handbooks, and public policy exception

remedies and lost opportunities

For a textbook that is as effective as it is authoritative, there is no substitute for Farnsworth's CONTRACTS,Third Edition.

Federal Budget: Politics, Policy, Process

Author: Allen Schick

The federal budget impacts American policies both at home and abroad, and recent concern over the exploding budgetary deficit has experts calling our nation's policies "unsustainable" and "system-dooming." As the deficit continues to grow, will America be fully able to fund its priorities, such as an effective military and looking after its aging population?

In this third edition of his classic book The Federal Budget, Allen Schick examines how surpluses projected during the final years of the Clinton presidency turned into oversized deficits under George W. Bush. In his detailed analysis of the politics and practices surrounding the federal budget, Schick addresses issues such as the collapse of the congressional budgetary process and the threat posed by the termination of discretionary spending caps. This edition updates and expands his assessment of the long-term budgetary outlook, and it concludes with a look at how the nation's deficit will affect America now and in the future.
