Walter
T. Champion, Jr., and I. Nelson Rose. Gaming law in a nutshell. West,
2012. KF9440.C43
2012 Co-authored
by Professor Walter Champion, Gaming Law in a Nutshell discusses all
aspects of gambling law, and on all levels: local, tribal, state, national,
and international. It covers all forms of wagering, legal and illegal,
including casino games and slot machines, lotteries, poker, bingo, sports
betting, racing, and Internet gaming. This book explains why legal gambling,
one of the fastest growing industries in the world, still faces restrictions
on its right to advertise or even have its contracts enforced. It has
separate discussions of many jurisdictions, including Nevada, New Jersey,
Macau, Canada, and other countries; Indian and charity gaming; taxes;
intellectual property; compulsive gambling; and the most popular forms of
gambling. |

Kimberly
K. Smith. Governing animals: animal welfare and the liberal state.
Oxford University Press, 2012. KF9440.C43
2012 Much
has been written in recent years on our moral duties towards animals, but the
important question of how far the state may go to enforce those duties has
remained unanswered. Kimberly K. Smith fills that gap by exploring how
liberal political principles apply to animal welfare policy. Focusing on
animal welfare in the United States, Governing Animals begins with an
account of the historical relationship between animals and the development of
the American liberal welfare state. It then turns to the central theoretical
argument: some animals (most prominently pets and livestock) may be
considered members of the liberal social contract. According to Smith, this
conclusion justifies limited state intervention to defend their welfare -
even when such intervention may harm human citizens. |
