New. $65. * Written in a lucid style and well illustrated, Justice Holmes: The Measure of His Thought is a biographical look at the intellectual, family and Civil War influences that have shaped U.S. Supreme Court Justice Holmes's judicial outlook. It includes rare photographs of his summer home at Beverly Farms, MA where he summered when the Court was not in session. "This short, very readable biography of Oliver Wendell Holmes masterfully describes what shaped this great justice and how he shaped the law. Holmes's life tells us about a century of American history, as Holmes lived from 1841 until 1935, fighting in the Civil War and enduring the depression. Few Supreme Court justices have had a more profound impact on the Constitution and this superb book tells how and explains why." --Erwin Chemerinsky, Dean and Jesse H.
