  • Crannogs — These Small Man-Made Islands
    PART I — INTRODUCTION 1. INTRODUCTION Islands attract attention.They sharpen people’s perceptions and create a tension in the landscape. Islands as symbols often create wish-images in the mind, sometimes drawing on the regenerative symbolism of water. This book is not about natural islands, nor is it really about crannogs — these small man-made islands. It is about the people who have used and lived on these crannogs over time.The tradition of island-building seems to have fairly deep roots, perhaps even going back to the Mesolithic, but the traces are not unambiguous.While crannogs in most cases have been understood in utilitarian terms as defended settlements and workshops for the wealthier parts of society, or as fishing platforms, this is not the whole story.I am interested in learning more about them than this.There are many other ways to defend property than to build islands, and there are many easier ways to fish. In this book I would like to explore why island-building made sense to people at different times. I also want to consider how the use of islands affects the way people perceive themselves and their landscape, in line with much contemporary interpretative archaeology,and how people have drawn on the landscape to create and maintain long-term social institutions as well as to bring about change. The book covers a long time-period, from the Mesolithic to the present. However, the geographical scope is narrow. It focuses on the region around Lough Gara in the north-west of Ireland and is built on substantial fieldwork in this area.

  • Saving the Federal Circuit
    SAVING THE FEDERAL CIRCUIT Paul R. Gugliuzza* INTRODUCTION Is it time to abolish the Federal Circuit’s exclusive jurisdiction over patent cases? In the thought-provoking speech at the center of this symposium, Judge Diane Wood says yes.1 The Federal Circuit’s exclusive jurisdiction, she argues, provides too much legal uniformity, which harms the patent system.2 But rather than eliminating the court altogether, Judge Wood proposes to save the Federal Circuit by letting appellants in patent cases choose the forum, allowing them to appeal either to the Federal Circuit or to the regional circuit encompassing the district court.3 Judge Wood is in good company arguing that the Federal Circuit’s exclusive jurisdiction should be eliminated. In their pioneering article, Rethinking Patent Law’s Uniformity Principle, Professors Craig Nard and John Duffy proposed to replace the court’s exclusive jurisdiction with a model of “polycentric decision making” under which two or three courts would hear patent appeals, permitting inter-court dialogue and enhancing the possibility for self-correction.4 Judge Wood’s colleague on the Seventh Circuit, Judge Richard Posner, also has recently said that he “[doesn’t] think the Federal Circuit has * Copyright © 2014 Paul R.
