Los Angeles Clippers Media Guide

An illustrated guide to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the largest and most comprehensive art museum in the western United States. The text is written by the curators of the museum and accompanies reproductions of works from each of the museum's eleven departments, integrated into five sections: Asian, European, Latin American, American, and modern and contemporary art. LACMA is the youngest of the nation's leading encyclopedic institutions, yet its collections have rapidly expanded to include over 100,000 works of art: from prehistory to contemporary civilization, from every part of the world, and in all media - painting, sculpture, prints, drawings, decorative arts, costume, textiles and photography.

An hilarious new departure from the turgid arena of traditional guidebooks, The Rich Bastard's Guide to Los Angeles explores the most luxurious nooks and crannies of the City of Angeles. The ultimate Guide for the man or woman who has everything... but still wants more.

Widely recognized as America's leading appeal lawyer, Alan Dershowitz was the man chosen to prepare the appeal should O.J. Simpson have been convicted. In this book he uses this case to examine the larger issues and to identify the social forces - media, money, gender and race - that shape the criminal justice system in America today. How could one of the longest trials in the history of America's judicial system produce a verdict after only hours of jury deliberation? Was this really a case of circumstantial evidence? And finally, is it possible that some jurors, who believed that O.J. Simpson did indeed murder Nicole Brown and Ronald Goodman, could properly have found him not guilty as a matter of law - and of justice? The crucial questions raised by the O.J. Simpson case, and Professor Dershowitz's surprising answers, reassess the case and the strengths and weaknesses of the legal system in America.

Alan Dershowitz, arguably one of the foremost legal thinkers of our time, gives an eye-opening account of the O.J. Simpson case and examines the larger issues of race, money, media, and gender that shape the criminal justice system in America.
