Blackstone in America explores the creative process of transplantation - the way in which American legislators and judges refashioned the English common law inheritance to fit the republican political culture of the new nation. With current scholarship returning to focus on the transformation of Anglo-American law to "American" law, Professor Kathryn Preyer's lifelong study of the constitutional and legal culture of the early American republic has acquired new relevance and a wider audience. The collection includes Professor Preyer's work on criminal law, the early national judiciary, and the history of the book. All nine of Professor Preyer's important and award-winning essays are easily accessible in this volume, with new introductions by three leading scholars of early American law.

This is a resource book for teachers of adult second language classes which combines basic information about teaching such classes with classroom community building techniques and thematically organized classroom activities. It should appeal to new and experienced teachers, teacher trainers, programme administrators, volunteer agencies and libraries. The activities, growing out of the authors own teaching experience, are designed to meet the real needs and interests of adult L2 learners. Furthermore, because adult language teachers often have little space and few resources, the activities require a minimum of space, equipment and copying, and use easily available material. The section on community building is especially important for teachers in adult programmes with open entry policies and irregular attendance.
