Perhaps some RLL readers would be interested in one or more of the research bibliographies I have online at the Ratio Juris blog. These were originally put together as part of what was christened the Directed Reading series. They cover a variety of topics, some of them having to do with law (e.g., American Indian Law, Comparative Law, International Law), some with law and ethics (e.g., Health, Torture, Terror), others on major religious worldviews (Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, etc.), and still others on motley subjects that strike my fancy (e.g., Death & Dying, Emotions, Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, Marx and Marxism, Science and Technology). Most of the lists are books only, in English, somewhat arbitrary constraints but it helped keep them fairly manageable for the one composing them and thus assured they would remain a labor of love.
Two of the lists are, for now, available only at the webpage and not formatted for download: “Torture: Moral, Political, and Legal Dimensions,” and “Mass Media: Politics, Political Economy, and Law.” However, they should soon appear for download as Word docs., as are all the other compilations.
Forthcoming shortly, a list for “Analogy and Metaphor,” and before year’s end (God willing, as they say), the compilation for “The World of Work and Labor Law.” Other planned bibliographies are listed under “Forthcoming” at the above link.
I plan to update all of these so I welcome comments and suggestions toward that end. I’ve added additional titles to some of them since they were posted so if you’d like the latest compilation just e-mail me and I’ll send the Word doc. version along.
A note of gratitude to Dean Jim Chen, who formats the bibliographies for download and first invited me to post them at his blog (indeed, brought me, kicking and screaming, into the blogosphere).
