  <description>
    <![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;  This highly respected and widely used casebook -- long recognized by both   students and instructors as one of the best available for any course --   continues to offer a dynamic and distinctive introduction to the law of   property. Carefully preserving the excellent foundation created by original   authors the late Jesse Dukeminier and James Krier, PROPERTY, Sixth Edition,   incorporates a wealth of new material.  &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;  What makes PROPERTY such an ideal casebook?  &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;  &lt;li&gt;  a unique blend of wit, erudition, insight, and playfulness  &lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;  engaging structure that encompasses cases, text, questions, problems, visual   illustrations, and examples  &lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;  modular organization makes the book highly adaptable to a range of syllabi and   equally well suited for use in property courses with different emphases and   credit hours  &lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;  distinctive sense of humor and human-interest perspective  &lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;  comprehensive coverage of property topics, including in-depth treatment of   estates and future interests, servitudes, and land-use controls  &lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;  cases are enhanced and connected to broader legal principles by well-written   notes, questions, and problems  &lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;  the authors employ an accessible 'economic lens' as a tool for thinking   critically about property -- with the caveat that 'the economics in the book   can be managed easily... even by the totally uninitiated; it can also be   ignored or even scorned.'  &lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;  extensive Teacher's Manual that answers every question and problem in the   casebook, provides brief comments, and offers deeper analysis and observations  &lt;/li&gt;  &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;  Changes for the Sixth Edition reflect meticulous updating:  &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;  &lt;li&gt;  James Krier is joined by new coauthors Gregory Alexander and Michael Schill in   integrating new developments while carefully retaining the distinctive   character of this highly successful casebook  &lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;  Intellectual Property materials are substantially revised to incorporate cases   recommended by users and decrease the emphasis on cyberspace  &lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;  the Takings chapter is fully updated with new developments and recent Supreme   Court cases, including Tahoe Sierra and Kelo v. New London  &lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;  chapters on Estates and Future Interests are shortened by deleting older   materials on the Rule Against Perpetuities (RAP) and adding newer materials on   the RAP and Dynastic Trusts  &lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;  real estate transaction coverage is enhanced by: a shorter, more up-to-date   description of a typical transaction; an updated sales contract; a new section   on brokers with a case on broker fiduciary duty; new text on multiple listing   services, antitrust implications, and broker commissions; e-signatures and the   statute of frauds; remedies for breach of real estate sales contracts,   including two new cases on the calculation of damages, rescission, and   retention of deposit; and new emphasis on how the law of real property differs   from the law of contracts and the UCC  &lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;  prudent trimming of the materials on Equitable Servitudes, particularly on   touch and concern and vertical privity requirements  &lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;  for professors who prefer to devote less time to future interests, a new,   optional 'short form' version appears in the completely updated Teacher's   Manual  &lt;/li&gt;  &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.aspenlawschool.com/dukeminier_property6/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;  Visit the companion website for Property, Sixth Edition&lt;/a&gt;, where you can   find more information about the book and authors.  &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;    &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;    &lt;/p&gt;]]>
