Fans of Gone Girl won’t want to miss Paula Hawkins’s Hitchcockian debut thriller The Girl on the Train (see Mysteries/Thrillers), while readers looking for a supernatural page-turner will love Simone St. James’s The Other Side of Midnight, an atmospheric tale of psychics, séances, and murder in 1925 London (see Science Fiction/Fantasy). • In commemoration of the centennial of Saul Bellow’s birth and the tenth anniversary of his death, Benjamin Taylor, editor of the acclaimed Saul Bellow: Letters, presents the full extent of Bellow’s nonfiction in There Is Simply Too Much to Think About (see Literature). • Widely praised Patriots author Christian G. Appy examines the Vietnam War and its impact on our national identity, popular culture, and postwar foreign policy in American Reckoning (see History & Biography).

  • Taking Intellectual Property Into Their Own Hands
    Taking Intellectual Property into Their Own Hands Amy Adler* & Jeanne C. Fromer** When we think about people seeking relief for infringement of their intellectual property rights under copyright and trademark laws, we typically assume they will operate within an overtly legal scheme. By contrast, creators of works that lie outside the subject matter, or at least outside the heartland, of intellectual property law often remedy copying of their works by asserting extralegal norms within their own tight-knit communities. In recent years, however, there has been a growing third category of relief-seekers: those taking intellectual property into their own hands, seeking relief outside the legal system for copying of works that fall well within the heartland of copyright or trademark laws, such as visual art, music, and fashion. They exercise intellectual property self-help in a constellation of ways. Most frequently, they use shaming, principally through social media or a similar platform, to call out perceived misappropriations. Other times, they reappropriate perceived misappropriations, therein generating new creative works. This Article identifies, illustrates, and analyzes this phenomenon using a diverse array of recent examples. Aggrieved creators can use self-help of the sorts we describe to accomplish much of what they hope to derive from successful infringement litigation: collect monetary damages, stop the appropriation, insist on attribution of their work, and correct potential misattributions of a misappropriation. We evaluate the benefits and demerits of intellectual property self-help as compared with more traditional intellectual property enforcement.

  • Addition to Summer Letter
    May 2020 Dear Student, You are enrolled in Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition for the coming school year. Bowling Green High School has offered this course since 1983. I thought that I would tell you a little bit about the course and what will be expected of you. Please share this letter with your parents or guardians. A.P. Literature and Composition is a year-long class that is taught on a college freshman level. This means that we will read college level texts—often from college anthologies—and we will deal with other materials generally taught in college. You should be advised that some of these texts are sophisticated and contain mature themes and/or advanced levels of difficulty. In this class we will concentrate on refining reading, writing, and critical analysis skills, as well as personal reactions to literature. A.P. Literature is not a survey course or a history of literature course so instead of studying English and world literature chronologically, we will be studying a mix of classic and contemporary pieces of fiction from all eras and from diverse cultures. This gives us an opportunity to develop more than a superficial understanding of literary works and their ideas. Writing is at the heart of this A.P. course, so you will write often in journals, in both personal and researched essays, and in creative responses. You will need to revise your writing. I have found that even good students—like you—need to refine, mature, and improve their writing skills. You will have to work diligently at revising major essays.

  • Looking at the 'Dark Side' of Creativity
    14 December 2011 | voaspecialenglish.com Looking at the 'Dark Side' of Creativity AP An English examination at Dongguan Technology Institute in Guangdong province, China, in 2007. Students were given different test versions in an effort to prevent cheating. (Download an MP3 of this story at voaspecialenglish.com) This is the VOA Special English Health Report. Not all cheaters are creative. But apparently enough creative people cheat to interest researchers like Francesca Gino. Professor Gino is a behavioral economist at the Harvard Business School in Massachusetts. Behavioral economists use ideas from psychology to study how people make economic choices. FRANCESCA GINO: "Interestingly, there are actually a lot of examples in the literature, novels, movies, comic books about this idea of the evil genius, but really no empirical evidence for this relationship." BATMAN (ADAM WEST): "He's terrorized Gotham City, he's baffled the police department and he's held us up to public ridicule." Fans of old TV shows might recognize Batman and Robin, struggling to catch one of those evil geniuses -- the Joker. 2 BATMAN: "Gloating on his own success, he may be planning some super crime and stumble on his own pride." ROBIN (BURT WARD): "And how do we go about stopping him?" BATMAN: "Just go about our normal routine and let the venomous viper trap himself." ROBIN: "And when he does." BATMAN: "Snap!" ROBIN: "Caught in a bat trap!" BATMAN: "Right." Professor Gino was less interested in catching cheaters than understanding them. She tested volunteers to see how creative they were. Then she tested them in situations involving small amounts of money, where they could earn extra by cheating.
