Originally published in 1970. This is a study of one of the most highly respected tribunals in the history of the English-speaking world—the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Situated in Manhattan, the Second Circuit Court, serving New York, Connecticut, and Vermont, is the most important commercial court in the country. But, like other inferior courts, it has never been studied in depth. Marvin Schick provides a comprehensive analysis. From 1941 to 1951, Learned Hand presided over the Second Circuit as chief judge, and the court bore his stamp. But on its bench sat other men of great competence, judges Thomas W. Swan, August N. Hand, and Harrie B. Chase, as well as Charles E. Clark and Jerome N. Frank, whose constant disagreement characterized much of the court's work. Schick studies the Second Circuit Court from several angles: historical, biographical, behavioral, and case analytical. He tells a history of the court from its origins in 1789. He provides biographical sketches of the six judges who sat during Learned Hand's tenure as chief judge. He analyzes the many decisions handed down by the court, including the precedent setters. He examines the court's decision-making process, especially its unique procedures such as the memorandum system, which requires from the judges "preliminary opinions" in the cases they hear. A novel feature of this book is the correlation of votes of the Second Circuit judges with subsequent decisions of the Supreme Court.Schick was aided in his study by having access to the private papers of Judge Clark. These thousands of memoranda and letters throw much light on the workings of the Second Circuit Court and reveal the bargaining that went on among the judges in difficult cases. The Clark papers make possible a clearer understanding of the incessant conflict between Clark and Frank and show how this unusual relationship gave vitality to the Second Circuit.

"Gong fu, the indigenous martial art of China, was exported into American popular culture through numerous "kung fu" movies in the 20th century. Perhaps the most renowned of the martial arts in the U.S., gong fu remains often misunderstood, perhaps because of its esoteric practices that include aspects of Daoism, Confucianism, Buddhism and other syncretic elements. Using the science of embodiment-the study of the interaction between body, mind, cognition, behavior and environment-practitioner and teacher R.F. Gonzalez explores the relationships among practitioner, praxis, spirituality, philosophy and the body in gong fu. Drawing on familiar routines, films, artifacts and art, the author connects the reader to ancient Chinese culture, philosophy, myth, shamanism and ritual"--

S'il est vrai que le catch est au sport de combat ce que Guignol est au théâtre ou Chariot au cinéma, ce livre est une invite à percer un secret de polichinelle mais qui ne se laisse pas facilement dévoiler par l'enquête de vérité. Comment la grande geste du chiqué se fabrique-t-elle à la salle d'entraînement où rôdent souvent les marchands de spectacles ? Comment donne-t-elle à voir, en pleine lumière, les frasques et les destinées violentes de son petit théâtre d'illusions ? Comment son mimodrame est-il interprété et ressenti dans la salle, par le jeu convenu de la participation et les émotions qu'elle attise ? Des tréteaux de la baraque de foire jusqu'au show des superstars en passant par les hauts lieux parisiens de la variété télégénique, “le monde où l'on catche” est ici débusqué conjointement par le témoignage historique, l'enquête ethnographique et le reportage photographique.
