Shotguns and Shooting

"Truly fine guns are as much works of art as poems, novels, or paintings," writes acclaimed outdoor writer Michael McIntosh in this classic book. And who better to guide us through the world of fine guns than McIntosh. Here, he captured the whole gun--the gun as a combination of form, fit, and function. Divided into two sections, the first on the art of guns and gunmaking, and the last on the art of shooting, this book is, as McIntosh himself says, "a celebration of the gun." Indeed, it's a celebration no lover of fine double guns should miss. This description may be from another edition of this product.

Insights into the Law and the World of the Big Firm

I read this book on recommendation from a Penn Law Prof before I came to law school. It not only tells a great story, but for those in law or entering law it manages to tell that story while at the same time showing the trials and tribulations related to life in large law firms where the "eat what you kill" model is in place. It doesn't leave you pitying lawyers or try to send too strong a moral message, it just tells...

Spellbinding and hugely educational

Hats off to Professor Regan for his prodigious research and painstaking, vivid recreation of the saga of a prominent lawyer's startling rise and fall --an all-the-more remarkable achievement given Gellene's refusal to cooperate in this project. This is an amazing look-behind-the-curtain as to: how large law partnerships reward and penalize their producers and non-producers; how complicated bankruptcy negotiations unfold; how...

Important book about ethics

Great book showing what can go wrong when law firms let top lawyers get away with violating common practices.

a patient reader reaps far more than an ethics case study

Read for: lessons in bankruptcy law and practice, junk bonds, vulture investment, corporate law generally, white collar crime and trial tactics, and a nuanced ethical exploration Avoid if: seeking simple answers, easily bored by thorough and balanced legal arguments "Eat What You Kill" explores in excruciating detail the rise and fall of John Gellene, bankruptcy attorney extraordinaire, who failed to disclose a conflict...

terrific, gripping, insightful

A better read, simply as a page-turner, than many novels. Gellene, the protagonist/anti-hero of this book, graduated Phi Beta Kappa and summa cum laude from Georgetown with degrees in philosophy and economics. He graduated cum laude from Harvard Law School, then clerked for Justice Morris Pashman of the New Jersey Supreme Court. Pretty impressive resume, eh? He had the "world at his feet," yet before much more time had passed...
