"Littleton, Colorado; Paducah, Kentucky; Pearl, Mississippi - these are names of places that have become synonymous with violence in our schools and have led recently to an increased national interest in the Second Amendment, which grants the right to bear arms. Should this right be limited and, if so, how? Can gun owners be trusted to responsibly handle and secure their guns? What restrictions, if any, should be made? Where is the line between caution and trust? These are some of the questions gun control advocates and gun rights groups continue to argue over. Opinions on gun control have become so heated and diverse that it has become one of the top campaign issues across the United States. In Gun Control, author Harry Henderson explores all sides of this highly contested issue and offers a complete examination of sources for further research."--BOOK JACKET.

This text examines the structure of stratification in the United States, focusing on the way one's class location influences his or her life opportunities. [The author] uses three themes to illustrate social stratification: How power influences the distribution of resources in the United States, how social structure influences rates of events, and how social psychological factors influence how individuals act on, and react to, the situations in which they find themselves.-

"Can a large corporation actually own English words or prefixes? Should dictionaries be used to describe how language is used by the public? How can linguistics help lawyers in their trademark cases? What do lawyers need to know about how language works in order to win their cases? In this book, Professor Shuy addresses and illustrates these questions, noting the differences between linguistics and law in their underlying assumptions, values and beliefs about knowledge authority and power. His experience in ten sample trademark cases frames the discussion. In five of these cases, the testimony of linguists opposing his testimony is also presented, offering different linguistic perspectives on the same issues. The book concludes with suggestions first for lawyers, and then for linguists, as they work on trademark cases together. The book is timely, since trademark cases are largely about language and more and more corporations and lawyers are turning to linguists for help."--BOOK JACKET.
