Kukathas, Chandran | Cultural contradictions of socialism | While no one has yet announced the death of capitalism, reports of its imminent demise have been as numerous as they have been exaggerated. Such reports have usually been bolstered by thoughtful analyses of the fundamental contradictions of capitalism, which was expected to come sliding-if not crash... | Economic systems; Social organization | 2002-11-22 |

Eckhoff, David W. | Drought happens: get used to it! Will technology help us to survive? | Drought is not the most popular subject in the world. Actually, as opposed to death, I think there are some bright spots in the drought mitigation future. I will review some of these in this lecture, but I'm also going to discuss some of the downsides of drought, because you can't have one without t... | Wastewater reclamation; Tiered water rates | 2002-09-10 |

Francis, Leslie | Law and Philosophy;: from skepticism to value theory | To write about Philosophy; and law is both odd and daunting. It is odd because the topic seems to presuppose that the two fields are separate and that Philosophy; may be unfamiliar to legal practice and legal practitioners. Yet, recognized or not, Philosophy; is part of the ordinary life of law sch... | 1993 | |

Codding, Brian | Behavioral ecology and the future of archaeological science | The future of archaeological science relies as much (if not more) on theoretical as on methodological developments. As with anything in biology, explaining past human behavior will require the application of evolutionary theory. As with anything in archaeology, theory is useless without clear ties t... | 2015-01-01 | |

Fragile families and family law | This paper reviews how family law in the United States impacts upon fragile families in four ways. First, it discusses how fragile families are invisible to much of family law, and are largely ignored or neglected in family law. Second, it reviews family law reforms that have been intended to hel... | Legal issues; Statute; Ordinance; Descendents; Offspring | 2003-10-18 | |

Hall, Thad | Human dimension of elections: how poll workers shape public confidence in elections | The role of voting technologies has received considerable attention since the 2000 election. However, the voter experience at the polling place and especially the voter-poll worker interaction is also of critical importance. Rarely are poll workers considered an arm of the government, even though th... | Poll workers; Voter confidence; Election outcomes; Voter perceptions | 2006-07-20 |
