Product Description
"Religious Propaganda" is a pivotal concept for the Hellenisticand Roman epochs in the History of Religions. The term refers to the variouscompeting religious and philosophical movements and currents during thoseperiods.Renowned scholars (H. Attridge, K. Baltzer, J. Collins, A. Dewey, H. Koester,A.T. Kraabel, D. Luhrmann, J. Robinson, W. Schottroff, E. Schussler Fiorenza,A. Yarbro Collins and others) interpret Pagan, Jewish, and Christian sourceswith a view toward elucidating the confrontation of Jewish and Christiangroups with their respective social, economic, religious, and politicalcontexts. The authors seek to demonstrate the significance of missionary andpropagandistic themes as well as strategies for the self-understanding of Jewsand Christians at the turn of the eras.The articles, 25 in all, draw upon the broad expanse of scholarly work in theHistory of Religions pertaining to this period: the authors discussmethodology and the state of research, and they forge ahead in the explorationof the intertestamental and New Testament writings.

Product Description
Every year, law students across the country participate in the 'write-on competition' for a shot at the most highly coveted prize in law school: membership on the law review. But until now, law students had nowhere to turn to for reliable information regarding the competition. This book has changed all that. Making Law Review explains how the competition works, and reveals the surprising and innovative techniques students have used to excel in it. Author Wes Henricksen interviewed dozens of current and former law review members at many of the top law schools to learn their secrets to success in the write-on competition. This book synthesizes those students' experiences into a comprehensive body of valuable advice on topics such as how to best prepare for the competition, how to effectively allocate your time throughout it, and how to write a winning submission paper. ...

a cheat sheet for getting onto law review
The other reviewers have pretty much covered most of what I would say.But I'd like to add this: reading Making Law Review is like having a cheat sheet on exactly how to get onto law review.It spoon-feeds all you need to know to write the best possible submission paper.I highly recommend you read this book if you're even thinking of joining law review.

thank you!!
Making Law Review: The Expert's Guide to Mastering the Write-on Competition I can't say that I made law review because of this book, but this and Academic Legal Writing were an excellent combination that really put me in an ideal position. We had a week-long writing competition right after exams, and thankfully I had already skimmed these two books beforehand.

and p.s. I purely "wrote on" at a top 5 school, with heavy competition thanks to the crash of the legal economy, so if your dream is to be on your schools law review and you don't have great grades, don't give up!! :)

this book helps out law students hoping to make law review
I highly recommend this book.It is probably the most helpful resource for law students hoping to make it onto the law review (are there even any others?).I think that making law review sometimes has a lot to do with 1L grades, but to the extent that membership can be gained from the write-on competition (which it can at most law schools), then this book is a must-read.

I made law review after reading this book
There are very few books out there that actually give you tangible results after reading them.This is one of them.I almost didn't read this book because it was unavailable to buy on Amazon.com when I first came across it.But I ended up buying it directly from the publisher and, after reading it, I went into the write-on competition much more prepared than I otherwise would have.

But let me back up.The story of how I acquired this book is worth repeating here.As a 1L this past year, I began thinking about the Law Review during the spring semester.There was a lot of buzz around the campus at that time since the LR members held a meeting to discuss the competition and how to sign up for it.After doing some research about the LR, I decided I needed to at least try to write on to it --- the benefits seemed overwhelmingly positive (better job prospects, more options after graduation, etc.).So I decided LR was for me.

Then I approached one of the LR members to ask if he could give me any additional information on how the competition works and how to prepare for it.He seemed nervous and told me that he was not supposed to discuss that with me since it would give me an "unfair advantage."So I googled "law review competition" and eventually came across this book, Making Law Review.I went to Amazon.com to buy it and it was on backorder, and other sellers were selling it for $125 to $155!Of course, no book is worth dropping that kind of cash.The following day - I remember distinctly it was Sunday, April 19 - the book was no longer selling for $125 to $155.Those copies had been sold and it was now offered for sale at $1,000!

At this point, I began to get desperate.This book was sold out on Amazon and the other sellers were price gauging.I wanted a copy but couldn't find one.Then I had the common sense to just look up its publisher (most publishers sell copies of the books they publish).And, of course, it was for sale there for less than the cover price.I bought it.

After reading it, I couldn't believe that I had, just a week before, thought of entering the write-on competition without any information whatsoever on how it works and how to prepare for it.The knowledge I acquired from reading Making Law Review made a big difference for me.The book explains the ins and outs of the write-on competition, describes how to prepare for it, and gives tips on how to write a submission paper.It doesn't contain any silver bullet secret to guaranteed success in the competition, however.But it is a quick read and contains tons of useful advice.

Here's my caveat: This book was extremely useful to me because I knew next to nothing about the law review.If you are someone who knows all about the LR and the writing competition, then this book may be of limited use to you.I've spoken with law students at other schools who've told me that the LR editors at their schools are more than happy to explain the competition to them.If that's the case, then you should get you information from the LR editors.But if you cannot find the information elsewhere, this book is a good resource.

Most helpful guide of its kind
I don't know what I would have done without this book.I picked it up because I was thinking about trying to write on to law review, but I wasn't too sold on the whole idea at the time.After reading it, I decided I would definitely give it a shot.And now I am a member of my law school's law review.

In my opinion, law review is well worth it (though many believe it is only useful if you want a job at a top tier law firm, with a judge, or as a professor).I just got accepted onto law review, so I can't speak from experience.But talking with members of the class ahead of me, there appears to be a consensus that being on law review serves two important purposes: 1) it boosts your resume in a way no other single accomplishment can; and 2) it gives members the opportunity to greatly improve their legal research and writing skills.

I'm looking forward to it.And I likely would not have succeeded in the write-on competition (and may not have even participated in it) were it not for this book. ... Read more

Perfect guide to scholarly writing for law
I was having a great deal of difficulty getting on the same page as my law professor in writing my long paper. Simply following the very clear suggestions, I was able to on the first try get approval to proceed on my thesis, roadmap, and outline.

I had my professor take a look at the book and she has ordered her own copy to have as a loaner in the future for students struggling as I did.

This is an essential book for any law school student and I only wish I had it from day one.

Should be required reading from Day 1 at Law Schools...
Superb resource.I would suggest reading this, probably twice, before showing up for first year.I wish I had, although I got hold of this in time to make a difference in what I produced.I mean it - if you want to suck all there is to get out of the Law School process, pick this up.

Very helpful book
This book was recommended by a professor since the final grade was based upon a final paper. I wish I had this book since 1st year. Great for people who plan to "write on" to law review as well as write any kind of legal scholarly paper. Highly recommend this.

A MUST-READ FOR LAW STUDENTS & ASPIRING LEGAL ACADEMICS
"Why didn't we learn this in law school?!!"

Anyone who survived the confusion of case-method during first semester law school and never learned anything useful until studying commercially available outlines the night before final exams knows the feeling of relief this book provides.

SCHOLARLY WRITING FOR LAW STUDENTS is not a crutch for the lazy.It's an extremely well-organized and comprehensive guide to figuring out the precise steps required to produce quality scholarly legal writing.

Fajans & Falk don't spoon-feed you a "how-to" on scholarly writing -- they simply give you a clue and then help you find your own way.They are unpretenious, funny, and inspiring.Buying this book is easily the best investment I've ever made.

I've never written an amazon.com review before -- but this book inspired me to do so.I've bought a copy of this book for every law student I know.I refer to this book at least once a week to assist in my own legal scholarship... ... Read more

Product Description
Throughout history, rural smallholders have formed various forms of associations to confront access-barriers to the market. It is estimated that 250 million farmers participate in agricultural cooperatives in developing countries. Agricultural cooperatives are considered to be a fundamental pillar of rural development strategies, as well as a core institution in the process of governance decentralization and agri-business development. In Ethiopia, where agro-ecological conditions are generally favourable, 85 percent of the national population lives in rural areas under subsistence or semi-subsistence regimes. Agricultural cooperatives are advocated by the government as key market institutions to exploit Ethiopia's agricultural growth potential. The scope of this study is to improve the understanding of the role played by cooperative organizations in linking Ethiopian smallholder farmers to emerging markets.Through exploring the evolution of supermarkets, integrated supply chains, and global commodity exchange networks, this study sheds light on the relationship between rural cooperation and farmers' competitiveness.Quantitative data that form the basis for this study were collected from the Highland regions of Ethiopia, in the period between 2003 and 2006. Findings suggest that cooperatives are not a panacea to boost rural competitiveness. Collective action assists smallholders in procuring state subsidy for production, but does not necessarily lead to increased commercialization. Only when collective action involves collective marketing do farmers become more commercial, further improving production volumes and productivity. However, in the process of commercialization and production intensification quality management is often neglected in Ethiopian agricultural cooperatives.This study reveals guidelines for public-private partnerships so that cooperative farmers can maximize commercialization and optimize the balance between quality and productivity. ...

Reasoning is a cognitive task ubiquitous everywhere:diagnosis, planning, scientific theory formation,speech understanding, etc. Unfortunately, solvingreasoning problems is still difficult for mostadvanced machines since it is NP-Complete. The useof artificial intelligence techniques, andespecially neural networks, seems to be a promisingdirection which can solve these problems to asatisfactory level and in reasonable time scales. Inthis thesis, we distinguish two categories of causalreasoning; namely cause-to-effect and effect-to- cause. Then, we propose algorithms to solve bothcategories and compare their performance withalready existing proposals in the scientificliterature. ... Read more
