Is Cold Mountain a good book for high school girl?

I have to choose a contemporary literature award book for English, and I was initially attracted to this because Jude Law was in the movie version (hes so pretty...) but the plot honestly sounds kind of dull...is it good?


It's OK, but not my favorite. Basically, there's two parallel stories that alternate--the odd chapters are about Jude Law's character, who is called Inman and who is trying to return home after being wounded in the Civil War.

Rutgers-Camden Law Professor Receives Google Research Award

CAMDEN — Michael A. Carrier, a professor of law at the Rutgers School of Law–Camden, is the recipient of a Google Research Award that will help him investigate the effect the decision to shut down Napster had on digital music innovation.

The Google Research Awards program aims to identify and support world-class, full-time faculty pursuing research in areas of mutual interest to Google.

Carrier will conduct interviews with innovators and venture capitalists to determine the effect the Napster decision had on their own innovations.

“Napster was an early peer-to-peer service, and the Napster decision was important because it was the first time a court had found that a peer-to-peer service infringed the copyright laws,” Carrier says. “As such, it offers a natural experiment by which I hope to trace the effect of the decision on innovation and investment in digital music.”

Napster is an online music store originally founded as a peer-to-peerfile sharing Internet service. Users of the digital music pioneer were able to share music files electronically. However, questions of copyright infringement surrounded the company and district and appeals court decisions forced it to cease operations. It is now owned by Rhapsody.
