A three-volume treatise examining the complex, but increasingly common, subject of cross-border insolvency and multi-jurisdictional bankruptcy. Volume one, Bankruptcy Law of the United States, covers aspects of bankruptcy law and practice in the United States for understanding by attorneys who may not deal with US bankruptcy law on a daily basis. Coverage includes: the United States legal system; the principal provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code dealing with liquidation and reorganization; and the treatment of foreign insolvency cases in the United States. It also includes an appendix containing copies of significant international initiatives in the treatment of cross-border insolvencies, including the UNCITRAL Model Law and the EU Regulation on Insolvency Proceedings.
I used this book in an undergraduate course on depression. The writing is clear and it provides solid coverage of how to define and categorize depression, how it's diagnosed, current knowledge of biological issues (genetics and physiology of depression), and all the major psychological theories and approaches to treatment (behavioral, cognitive, psychodynamic, interpersonal). Social and cultural aspects of depression are covered too. There's a lot here; you could read just what interests you and skip any sections that don't, or use the book as a reference. I like the comprehensiveness and the clear writing style. Definitely a good source for learning about depression. This is written for people interested in the technical stuff, the research and theory of depression.
