My first book on the California legislative process is titled, Understanding the California Legislative Process. When I wrote that book over the course of a few years, and then had it published in early 2020, I thought I had covered most topics.

However, since that time, I have come across many other aspects of the legislative process and lawmaking in California that needed to be covered. As a result of these additional writings, this book contains over 220 chapters and hopefully will serve as a handbook for those…

My first book on drafting legislation in California is titled, Introduction to Drafting Legislation in California. When I wrote that book, and then had it published in early 2020, I knew that there were many other drafting topics to eventually cover.

The material in Energy & Environment: The Grand Challenges of the 21st Century is often interdisciplinary, and it focuses heavily on pertinent scientific and economic principles, but the level of technical detail is such that the material should be understandable to people who do not have STEM backgrounds.

Students should always bear in mind that simple answers rarely exist when it comes to energy and environment, so we encourage skepticism and critical thinking.

As a former colleague, Carl Brakensiek said, “A book of memoirs from seasoned lobbyists is long overdue and will be a significant addition to the lore.”

Based on the author's past twenty-five years as a lobbyist at California’s State Capitol, Chris Micheli, shares stories from colleagues and observations over the years. Newer lobbyists who come after some of these individuals should know the stories of these advocates because they were among the first after California’s Legislature became a full-time lawmaking body in the late 1960s…

Nestled in the “ivory tower,” college campuses tend to be safe environments for students, but crime and violence do occur.  To be sure, crime trends vary based on the location of the campus (suburban, rural, urban, “college town”) and their “type” (four-year universities, small liberal arts colleges, community colleges).  Even so, there are certain classifications of crime that seem to plague colleges and universities in the U.S.  This title reviews the nature and extent of campus crime, efforts designed to prevent violence on campus, research-driven tips for preventing…

Even though a Christian ethicist shares moral commitments with other ethical approaches (for example, justice, fairness, health, and so on), Christian ethics has distinctive moral imperatives based upon the unique doctrinal beliefs of Creation, Covenant, Commands, Christ, and the Church. The primary burden of Christina ethics is to be faithful to these beliefs and to sustain and perpetuate the great legacy of Christian that traces its origins back 4000 years ago to Abraham and Sarah. For instance, Christian ethics not only clarifies why the love of our neighbor is an obligation, it…

Abstract

Despite both scholarly and laypeople’s beliefs that family relationships are nonvoluntary (Baxter et al., 2009; Hess, 2000), Conti (2015) contends that family estrangement could be as common as divorce in some segments of society. Family estrangement occurs when at least one family member voluntarily and intentionally distances him/herself from another family member because of an ongoing negative relationship (Scharp & Dorrance Hall, 2017). Similar to other contexts (e.g., divorce, family member marginalization, military deployment, or even going away…

When I first contemplated a casebook focused on California’s legislative branch of government, I considered a section dedicated to the forms of direct democracy found in the state. However, as I explored the topic further, and I read dozens of cases, I realized that a casebook could be focused just on California’s treatment of the three forms of direct democracy. As a result, I compiled the materials that are contained in this casebook.

I also researched books, law review articles and other sources for information on California’s forms of direct democracy. After examining these…

Whether participating in competitive athletics or recreationally, most of us will try to perform at our best. To do so, we will attempt to move our bodies with task-specific patterns to reach activity-related goals. For example, to perform a quick move and deceive an opponent, a specific pattern of acceleration of the body will be one such factor (of many) that will determine the success of the movement. As observers, we see this movement in the speed and direction (velocity) of the body.
