You're considering the case of a maintenance worker injured while repairing an elevator, or an elderly woman hurt on a department store escalator while doing some weekend shopping with her grandchildren. An initial search of the literature has turned up almost nothing useful. Your instinct tells you the cases are good, but to evaluate them properly, you need this new addition to our litigation series.The key questions are: what caused the accident, and what were the contributory factors? Some accidents have an element of 'in the wrong place at the wrong time' about them, while others have an element of disregard for the equipment involved. Sadly, others fall into the category of sheer negligence or incompetence. This book will help you determine the difference. This new third edition revises and adds new content, with the most up-to-date information to help you succeed in these cases.The authors have investigated numerous elevator and escalator accidents. Their expertise will guide you as you make your decision to take or reject the cases, and their experience will give you the basic understanding of the issues you need to understand to proceed with confidence.Topics Include: * Codes, regulations and related subjects--for the U.S., with consideration of Canada and the U.K.* Accident statistics and selected incidents * The elements of typical escalator accidents * Reviewing and understanding maintenance documents * Presuit investigation: should a suit be instituted? * Legal theories and negligence * A glossary and a sample expert report * Pleadings--excerpt of a typical complaint * Discovery--sample interrogatories, request for production of documents and corporate designee notices * Expert opinion: the applicability of Daubert, Khumo and Frye

According to common wisdom, if your children's school is not meeting federal specifications, you can move them to another, better-functioning school, including a charter school. This would seem to make sense, particularly if common wisdom about competition improving all things applies. However, according to Corwin (sociology emeritus, Ohio State U.) and Schneider National Policy Board for Educational Administration) common wisdom is uncommonly unwise in this case. They believe the 'school of choice' project has done nothing to improve the quality of education, but instead has overburdened schools unfairly and has eliminated many possible opportunities for cooperation. In addition, the promise touted by the concept and practice of charter schools has failed to come into reality, vastly reducing any chance of a real choice. They advocate making charter schools more effective and useful to school districts, and to make changes that will raise the school choice out of hyperbole and into the realm of actually contributing to the common good.

Reasoning about knowledge--particularly the knowledge of agents who reason about the world and each other's knowledge--was once the exclusive province of philosophers and puzzle solvers. More recently, this type of reasoning has been shown to play a key role in a surprising number of contexts, from understanding conversations to the analysis of distributed computer algorithms.Reasoning About Knowledge is the first book to provide a general discussion of approaches to reasoning about knowledge and its applications to distributed systems, artificial intelligence, and game theory. It brings eight years of work by the authors into a cohesive framework for understanding and analyzing reasoning about knowledge that is intuitive, mathematically well founded, useful in practice, and widely applicable. The book is almost completely self-contained and should be accessible to readers in a variety of disciplines, including computer science, artificial intelligence, linguistics, philosophy, cognitive science, and game theory. Each chapter includes exercises and bibliographic notes.
