Freedom of Speech in the United States - Softcover
The new edition of this text continues to offer an accessible historical survey and analysis of free-speech issues and cases in the US, also providing a history of free speech in England. In the new edition, the expansion of topics such as "free press-fair trial" makes the book suitable for journalism and media law courses. Thoroughly updated, the second edition includes recent, relevant US rulings and coverage of important timely topics, such as freedom of artistic expression, and all major constraints in speech content. There are new chapters on institutional constraints, including expanded treatment of freedom of expression in schools in the US (ch. 11), and there is greater discussion of contemporary First Amendment theories. The book provides study aids with chapter outlines, end-of-chapter summaries, exercises and readings. The pedagogy also includes a full glossary, a table of cases, and a topical index. Also available is an instructor's manual (0-07-065505-7).

Review:
Thomas Tedford has [provided] the reader with a long-range perspective on what otherwise might seem to be isolated issues. His coverage of the subject is both comprehensive and concisehe wastes no words but omits nothing of significance. He has compressed a huge amount of material into digestible chunks of information, beautifully organized into chapters each of which addresses a major sub-division of the general topic. . . . And through it all, Tedford writes with clarity, style, and a sense of humor. Franklyn S. Haiman, from the Foreword"
