Laurence Juber shares his life with Wings and his solo career 'on
six strings' in new book. Guitar With Wings: LJ's Musical Journey
on Six Strings, a photo memoir by Grammy Award-winning artist
Laurence Juber. It is the story of Juber's five-decade career told
through his own words, candid never-seen-before colour and black
& white photos, vintage advertising materials, guitars,
equipment, memorabilia and the six-string legend's encyclopaedic
musical memory. "In the thirty-something years since Wings folded I
would look at the boxes of photographs and accumulated memorabilia,
promising myself that one day I'd take the time to organize it
all," "Contrary to my expectations that the Wings era would be
absorbed into the general arc of Paul McCartney's career, interest
in the band itself has continued to flourish and I recognized that
I had a unique perspective to offer." Juber said the 50-year
anniversary of his love affair with the guitar and the public's
on-going fascination for Wings proved a catalyst for this
retrospective. "The photos triggered long-forgotten memories of my
time in the band, underscoring how my studies at 'McCartney
University' were a bridge from my early musical experiences to my
later 'solo flight' and how much the couple-consciousness of Paul
and Linda McCartney proved to be a template for my own romantic and
creative relationship with my wife Hope,"

The massive and complex process of change in East Asia over recent
decades has brought about a transformation in the nature of law and
legal institutions in the region. Whilst the process of change has
to some degree mimicked western models of law and legal change,
there have been significant differences in approach due to the
different social foundations of East Asian societies. The more
obvious of these has been the variety of ways in which rule of law
ideas have been adopted in many East Asian countries where the role
of the state is more dominant when compared with Western models.
This volume brings together a selection of the most important
writings on East Asia of researchers in recent years, and shows the
broad range of questions which researchers have been addressing
about the effect of law reform and legal change in societies
dominated by traditional values and political forces, and at a time
of massive economic change.
