From the supplier: Preparing for the cross-examination of the defense expert economist usually begins with the selection of the plaintiff's economist to assist in preparing the damage claim. The plaintiff's theory of damages will greatly influence the position the defense's economic expert takes. Relevant case law, statute, and unique facts about the plaintiff may influence the damage theory. This cross-examination should, as is true with cross-examination in any other type of trial, be conducted with a purpose in mind. Counsel should decide beforehand whether the expert's testimony has provided the plaintiff's case with enough benefit to justify preserving credibility.

Product Description
W.G. Sebaldís books are sui generis hybrids of fiction, travelogue, autobiography and historical expose, in which a narrator (both Sebald and not Sebald) comments on the quick blossoming of natural wonders and the long deaths that come of human atrocities. All his narratives are punctuated with images--murky photographs, architectural plans, engravings, paintings, newspaper clippings--inserted into the prose without captions and often without obvious connection to the words that surround them. This important volume includes a rare 1993 interview called ì'But the written word is not a true document': A Conversation with W.G. Sebald about Photography and Literature,î in which Sebald talks exclusively about his use of photographs. It contains some of Sebald's most illuminating and poetic remarks about the topic yet. In it, he discusses Barthes, the photograph's ìappeal,î the childhood image of Kafka, family photographs, and even images he never used in his writings. In addition, Searching for Sebald positions Sebald within an art-historical tradition that begins with the Surrealists, continues through Joseph Beuys and blossoms in the recent work of Christian Boltanski and Gerhard Richter, and tracks his continuing inspiration to artists such as Tacita Dean and Helen Mirra. An international roster of artists and scholars unpacks the intricacies of his unique method. Seventeen theoretical essays approach Sebald through the multiple filters of art history (Krauss), film studies (Kluge), cultural theory (Benjamin), psychoanalysis (Freud), and especially photographic history and theory (Barthes, Kracauer), and 17 modern and contemporary art projects are read through a Sebaldian filter. If Sebaldís artistic output acts as a touchstone for new critical theory being written on ìpost-mediumî photographic practices, Seaching for Sebald suggests a model for new investigations in the burgeoning field of visual studies. ...

For the Sebald enthusiast
This is a large, handsome book that focuses on W.G. Sebald's use of images, principally photographs, in his literature.The premise of the book is that Sebald's use of photographs was (almost) as ground-breaking in the field of the visual arts as his prose narratives (enhanced of course by his photographs) were in the field of literature.The book contains about forty articles or pieces dealing with, or illustrating, Sebald's use of images or how it has influenced others.

The articles vary considerably in quality, especially in the degree to which they are relatively free of, or freighted with, academic jargon and syntax.Alas, overall there is an excess of academic mumbo-jumbo - from individual words (e.g., "problematizes") to whole articles, one of which begins: "Presenting the ineluctable in writing constrains interpretation.The alterity of the text is both commanding and irremissible, to the point that criticism becomes ventriloquism; hermeneutics descends into chatter."(I guess that last phrase is self-referential . . . or unwittingly ironic.)

I read or skimmed fifteen of the articles/pieces.The best were the Introduction; "A Conversation with W.G. Sebald on Literature and Photography"; "The Enigmatic in Sebald's Use of Images in `The Emigrants'"; and "Pictures Remain and Live" (which includes a portfolio of photographic portraits of Sebald).

The lengthy Introduction, in particular, is worthwhile.It identifies and discusses various influences and sources for Sebald's use of images.Most interesting is its discussion of the evolution of Sebald's use of images through the four major prose narratives, as well as differences in presentation between editions, including two editions of the German publications of "Schwindel, Gefühle" ("Vertigo") and "Die Ausgewanderten" ("The Emigrants") and then the English editions of all four narratives.It highlights the subtle differences in the use and character of the images or photographs among Sebald's works, virtually all of which were the result of deliberate decisions by Sebald.

A patient reader also can gather much that adds to his understanding of Sebald's prose.Two personal examples:

Nabokov makes several fleeting appearances in "The Emigrants."Like the four subjects of the book, Nabokov was an exile.But his fate was different."Not only did he find homes in his exile, but he was, in a sense, at home in the world.In `The Emigrants', he becomes a symbol for the possibility of life after exile.He is a `messenger of joy.'"

As I read "Austerlitz", I caught several of the allusions to Ludwig Wittgenstein, in addition to several explicit references.But reading SEARCHING FOR SEBALD revealed two more.On page 5 of the American edition of "Austerlitz", there are two pairs of human eyes -- the lower pair is from a photo of Wittgenstein.Second, as Austerlitz describes a period of writer's block, which he attributed to the inadequacies of language, he uses the analogy, "If language may be regarded as an old city full of streets and squares * * *."That was vaguely familiar to me.Now I learn (or am reminded) that it is from Wittgenstein's "Philosophical Investigations" (Part I, § 18).

As is evident from the above, SEARCHING FOR SEBALD is not for the newcomer to Sebald.To the contrary, its audience is probably limited to Sebald enthusiasts.For them, it can be recommended, even for the price -- in part because it is such a sumptuously produced volume, with high quality paper stock, intelligent lay-out, and a wealth of photographic illustrations. ...

Excerpt: The Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad was the first railroad to cross Missouri starting in Hannibal in the northeast and going to St. Joseph, Missouri, in the northwest. It is said to have carried the first letter to the Pony Express on April 3, 1860, from a train pulled behind the locomotive Missouri. The line connected the second and third largest cities in the state of Missouri prior to the American Civil War. The stage route that it paralleled previously been called the "Hound Dog Trail". Construction on the railroad (which originally started during an 1846 meeting at the Hannibal office of John H. Clemens, father of Mark Twain) began in 1851 from both cities. Bonds from counties along the route along with the donation of 600,000 acres (2,400 km²) in land voted by Congress paid for construction. The lines met in Chillicothe, Missouri, on February 13, 1859. A marker the railroad placed at the site was discovered in 2009 at the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railroad Museum in Galesburg, Illinois. The line started westward from Hannibal and ran through the Missouri cities of Palmyra, Monroe City, Shelbina, Clarence, Anabel, Macon, Bevi...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=5566514 ... Read more

Excerpt:Napoleon Bonaparte (French: Napoléon Bonaparte French pronunciation: , Italian: Napoleone di Buonaparte; 15 August 1769 5 May 1821), was a military and political leader of France and Emperor of the French as Napoleon I, whose actions shaped European politics in the early 19th century. Napoleon was born in Corsica to parents of noble Italian ancestry and trained as an artillery officer in mainland France. Bonaparte rose to prominence under the First French Republic and led successful campaigns against the First and Second Coalitions arrayed against France. In 1799, he staged a coup d'état and installed himself as First Consul; five years later the French Senate proclaimed him Emperor. In the first decade of the nineteenth century, the French Empire under Napoleon engaged in a series of conflictsthe Napoleonic Warsinvolving every major European power. After a streak of victories, France secured a dominant position in continental Europe and Napoleon maintained the French sphere of influence through the formation of extensive alliances and the appointment of friends and family members to rule other European countries as French client states. The French invasion of Russia in 1812 marked a turning point in Napoleon's fortunes. His Grande Armée was badly damaged in the campaign and never fully recovered.
