International law shapes nearly every aspect of our lives. It
affects the food we eat, the products we buy, the rights we hold,
and the wars we fight. Yet international law is often believed to
be the exclusive domain of well-heeled professionals with years of
legal training. This text uses clear, accessible writing and
contemporary political examples to explain where international law
comes from, how actors decide whether to follow international law,
and how international law is upheld using legal and political
tools. Suitable for undergraduate and graduate students, this book
is accessible to a wide audience and is written for anyone who
wants to understand how global rules shape and transform
international politics. Each chapter is framed by a case study that
examines a current political issue, such as the bombing of Yemen or
the use of chemical weapons in Syria, encouraging students to draw
connections between theoretical concepts and real-world situations.
The chapters are modular and self-contained, and each is paired
with multiple Supplemental Cases: edited and annotated judicial
opinions. Accompanied by ready-to-use PowerPoint slides and a
testbank for instructors.
Against the background of Lord Woolf's interim report "Access to
Justice", this text includes accounts of tactical matters and
practical litigation "tips", as well as descriptions of the
procedures involved. Litigation is often conducted by companies who
do not have much practical experience of the processes that might
be expected of them. The same applies to others who become involved
in litigation without actually having to conduct the procudure as
lawyers. This book is intended to give a brief, clear and
comprehensive overview of litigation, arbitration and ADR in
England. Intended as a comprehensive overview of litigation,
arbitration and ADR in England, this guide is aimed at clients and
firms who are involved in, or assist cases, who would like to
understand the process better in a non-technical way but do not
want to see every statement supported by authority.

First published in 1843 and reissued here in its expanded second
edition of 1845, this biography represents an early and informed
portrait of the prolific landscape artist and draughtsman John
Constable (1776 1837). An upbringing in the East Anglian
countryside and his first sighting of a painting by Claude Lorrain
inspired his lifelong dedication to capturing scenes from nature,
reflected in early works such as Dedham Vale (1802) and in his
mature masterpieces, notably The Hay Wain (1821). Prepared by
Charles Robert Leslie (1794 1859), a close friend and fellow member
of the Royal Academy, this work is based principally on his
collection of Constable's letters and papers, drawing also on
friends' accounts of the artist. Illuminating his relationship with
Maria Bicknell and the influence of early mentor Sir George
Beaumont, the book details the development of Constable's career,
revealing the nature of his opinions and anxieties.
Nova has a big appetite for stars, so when she decides to gobble up
Earth's Sun, panic erupts around the globe. Earth needs its Sun to
survive! How will it get it back from Nova? One bright little girl
just might have a solution. Sparkling with humour and interstellar
adventure, this story showcases creative problem-solving and a
subtle reminder to not eat someone else's food - or stars - without
asking first. Expressive illustrations add excitement and silliness
to Earth's predicament, while a mix of the fantastical and factual
provides a fun way to learn just how important our Sun is. A
laugh-out-loud space adventure full of gas . . . and heart.
As all manner of commerce becomes increasingly global, states must
establish laws to protect property rights, human rights, and
national security. In many cases, states delegate authority to
resolve disputes regarding these laws to an independent court,
whose power depends upon its ability to enforce its rulings.
Examining detailed case studies of the International Court of
Justice and the transition from the General Agreement on Tariffs
and Trade to the World Trade Organization, Leslie Johns finds that
a court's design has nuanced and mixed effects on international
cooperation. A strong court is ideal when laws are precise and the
court is nested within a political structure like the European
Union. Strong courts encourage litigation but make states more
likely to comply with agreements when compliance is easy and
withdraw from agreements when it is difficult. A weak court is
optimal when law is imprecise and states can easily exit agreements
with minimal political or economic repercussions. Johns concludes
the book with recommendations for promoting cooperation by creating
more precise international laws and increasing both delegation and
obligation to international courts.
