Tato autorka zkoumá složité vztahy mezi mocí a etikou, často s využitím své právnické praxe jako odrazového můstku. Její práce se ponořuje do psychologických dopadů ambicí a loajality, zkoumá, jak mohou být jednotlivci formováni a deformováni svými profesními závazky. Příběhy jsou naplněny napětím a morální nejednoznačností, což čtenáře nutí zpochybňovat hranice práva a osobní odpovědnosti. Prostřednictvím své precizní prózy odhaluje skryté motivace a morální kompromisy, které řídí ty, kdo se pohybují na nejvyšších úrovních vlivu.

Most of us have been conditioned to ignore more than fifty natural sensitivities that connect us with nature's beauty, health, and regenerative ways. This omission underlies our unhealthy stress and disorders. The Organic Psychology chapters and activities in Reconnecting With Nature help our fifty-three senses embrace natural systems. The systems, in turn, compost and transform industrial society's pollution of our mind and body into personal, environmental, and spiritual well-being.
The man the New York State Attorney General credited with inspiring her prosecution of Donald Trump — New York Times number one bestselling author Michael Cohen — tells the behind-the-scenes story of what can happen to you — and what really happened to him — when a President who believes himself to be above the law decides to go after his critics . . . . When Michael Cohen's secret payoff to porn star Stormy Daniels on behalf of Donald Trump made Cohen look like a liability to the by-then-President of the United States, the end to their decade-long relationship came swiftly — with a knock on the door from the FBI. Soon, Cohen would find himself imprisoned — even though he had plenty of evidence to show he was innocent of most of the charges. Meanwhile, with the release of the Steele Dossier, Cohen also found himself battling endless news reports citing the Dossier's claims that he'd had clandestine dealings with Russia — reports that only mounted despite his exoneration by the Mueller Report. In a story now being echoed in recent breaking news stories about IRS persecution of Trump foes such as former FBI head James Comey and others, Cohen details — in his inimitable blunt language, with absolutely no holds barred and naming names — his attempt to clear his name and tell the truth about Donald Trump. Chillingly, he also makes clear what happens when you try to speak truth to power, and the power knows no bounds.
An eye-opening look at the history of national security fear-mongering in America and how it distracts citizens from the issues that really matter
From the Balfour Declaration of 1917 to the Suez Crisis of 1956 Britain's strategic interests in Palestine and in the Middle East underwent radical changes. Professor Michael J. Cohen, a leading authority on the British Mandate in Palestine and the rise of the state of Israel, focuses on these changing interests in this anthology of some of his seminal works. This book includes previously unpublished material and an introductory chapter surveying the changing views and interpretations of the Declaration over the past 100 years. Britain's imperial interests are the key to understanding these changes, why she supported the Zionist cause until the mid-1930s and why her priorities changed thereafter. After the Second World War her priorities changed once again and Allied strategic planners drew up contingency plans to meet the threat of a potential Third World War against the Soviet bloc. This anthology closes with an analysis of the botched Suez War. This caused not only the failure of the military operation but a grave crisis with the Americans, Eden's fall from power, and the dénouement of Britain's Middle East hegemony. Professor Cohen's essays are essential reading for anyone wanting a clear understanding of the Middle Eastern context of the Palestine Mandate, and the rise of the State of Israel during this period

Das Buch setzt sich mit der Frage auseinander, wie nicht natürliche Rechtsträger Besitz und Gewahrsam im zivilprozessualen Sinne ausüben. Dabei gilt es die rechtsdogmatischen und praktischen Probleme zu bewältigen, die sich aus dem Zusammenspiel der faktischen Aspekte der Figuren des Besitzes und des Gewahrsams und der abstrakten Natur der Rechtspersönlichkeit nicht natürlicher Rechtsträger ergeben. Die Figuren des Organbesitzes und des Organgewahrsams lassen sich dabei ohne Weiteres in das bestehende dogmatische Gerüst inkorporieren. Auch die Probleme für die Rechtspraxis können anhand einer richterrechtlich aufzustellenden unwiderlegbaren Vermutung bezüglich der Sachgewaltverhältnisse bewältigt werden. Letztlich befasst sich die Studie im Rahmen einer rechtsvergleichenden Analyse mit der geschilderten Problematik in anderen europäischen Rechtsordnungen. Dabei können sowohl Unterschiede als auch Gemeinsamkeiten hinsichtlich der Abhandlung der tatsächlichen Sachherrschaft nicht natürlicher Rechtsträger in den jeweiligen Rechtssystemen festgestellt werden.
