This is a revealing look at the events and personalities that
defined the Beat Generation, drawing on over three decades of
research. Beatniks: A Guide to an American Subculture gets readers
past the caricature of the "beatnik" as a goateed, beret-wearing,
bongo-playing poseur, drawing on extensive research to show just
how profound an impact the beats had on American culture, politics,
and literature. Beatniks conveys the complexity, influences,
events, and places that shaped the Beat Generation from the late
1940s to the cusp of the 1960s. The book also features a series of
essays on specific aspects of the subculture, as well as interviews
with Beat Generation luminaries like Allen Ginsberg, Ann Charters,
Roy Harper and Michael McClure. Throughout, readers will meet an
extraordinary gallery of people both famous—Jack Kerouac, William
Burroughs, Neal Cassady—and lesser known but no less fascinating,
including Kenneth Patchen, Lord Buckley, Mort Sahl, Jack Micheline,
Lew Welch, Joan Vollmer Adams, and Lenore Kandel. Also included is
a detailed glossary with the origins and meanings of the beat
lingo.
This indispensable guide for writers provides details of hundreds
of literary agents, book publishers, and magazines; including
contact details, types of material accepted, and how to approach
them Subject indexes for each area provide easy access to the
markets you need, with specific lists for everything from romance
publishers, to poetry magazines, to literary agents interested in
thrillers. It also provides unparalleled access to international
markets. The internet has made the publishing industry more global
than ever, with markets increasingly accepting submissions by email
(some no longer accept postal submissions at all). Other
directories have failed to respond to this, continuing to focus on
one single country, but this directory provides you with that
all-important access to overseas opportunities that are now just an
email away. And by focusing exclusively on what's important to
writers - contact details for literary agents, publishers, and
magazines - this directory is able to provide more listings at a
lower price. There are no adverts, no advertorials, and no
unnecessary articles or obscure listings padding out hundreds of
pages. Two established alternative directories both run to over 800
pages, yet one has only 204 pages of publisher, agent, and magazine
listings, and the other has only 10 pages devoted to literary agent
listings This book does better on both counts, and yet remains
substantially cheaper than either alternative. The book also
includes free access to the firstwriter.com website, where you can
find even more listings. You can also benefit from other features
such as advanced searches, daily email updates, feedback from users
about the markets featured, saved searches, competitions listings,
searchable personal notes, and more

The second edition of this comprehensive Handbook presents new and
significantly revised chapters by leading scholars and
practitioners in the burgeoning field of international sports law.
National, regional and comparative dimensions of sports law are
emphasized throughout, exploring a wide range of issues emerging in
sports law today. Approaching international sports law through
three converging frameworks, this Handbook examines the
institutions of international sport, the eligibility rights and
protections of athletes, as well as the commercial side of
international sport. New topics discussed in this edition include
concussions, EU antitrust and other regulation of sport, review of
awards by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), college and
university athletics, league and team restrictions on athlete
movement, taxation of athletes and sports as cultural heritage.
Covering some of the most controversial and cutting-edge issues in
international sports law, this timely Handbook will prove
invaluable for academics and students of sports law, sports
management, international law and comparative law. With a global
scope, the Handbook will also prove a vital resource to practicing
lawyers, players' agents, senior executives and other professionals
within the sports industry.
Utilising international material to explore the roles, functions,
tasks, responsibilities, powers and actions of intra-state
politicians and the institutions to which they are elected, this
insightful book examines how local and regional authorities are
pivotal in the democratic and governing arrangements of different
countries. Expert contributors examine how regional and local
bodies have authority over public services, local spending, land
use and local regulation, while operating within the constraints
and structures of their own national settings. The Modern Guide
also considers the responsibility of local and regional powers in
the promotion of community action and cohesion. Taking a
comparative approach, country-specific chapters present detailed
analyses of the similarities and differences between the shape and
purpose of institutions which operate within the state and how they
interact with each other and the national institutions of
government. Exploring the concepts and principles behind power
structures within governmental systems, this book will be a key
resource for academics and students of public policy, regulation
and governance, and public administration and management. Its
presentation of models of the formation of government in an
international context will also be beneficial for policy-makers and
practitioners in these fields.
This Research Handbook offers crucial ethical perspectives on
navigating the increasingly complex and contested landscape of
contemporary energy law. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, it
brings together diverse scholarship and expertise from academia,
international organizations, legal practice and the judiciary to
address wide-ranging issues linking energy and law to ethical
drivers such as wealth, peace and war, development, climate change,
and use and abuse of natural resources. The Handbook investigates
first the governing dynamics of energy, law and ethics, providing a
conceptual overview of key topics. It then examines the ethics of
financing energy projects, renewable energy transition and climate
change mitigation. The final part is a case study of energy, law
and ethics in practice. Throughout, the Handbook draws on the vital
underlying theme of intergenerational equity, offering a toolbox of
arguments for framing the law and policies that will shape the
future of the planet. The Research Handbook on Energy, Law and
Ethics will be an essential resource for scholars and practitioners
working in all areas of energy law, particularly its intersections
with climate change, renewable energy transition and environmental
justice. Negotiators and policymakers will also find its
delineation of current debates and reference to practical
experience invaluable.
