Every day, large numbers of altruistic individuals, in the absence
of any legal duty, provide substantial and essential services for
elderly and disabled people. In doing so, many such informal carers
suffer financial burdens and other disadvantages. This book
considers the scope for a "private law" approach to rewarding,
supporting, or compensating carers, which is an increasingly vital
topic in the context of an ageing population and the need for
savings in public expenditure. Adopting a comparative approach, the
book explores the recognition of the informal carer and his or her
relationship with the care recipient within diverse fields of
private law, from unjust enrichment to succession. Aspects of the
analysis include the importance of a promise of a reward from the
care recipient and the appropriate measure of any remedy. In
considering the potential for expansion of a "private law" approach
for carers, the book addresses the fundamental and controversial
question of the price of altruism. (Series: Hart Studies in Private
Law)
This book argues that a New Deal for research in Europe is needed.
This New Deal would involve the mobilisation of policy actors
across all levels--regional, national and European--and their
commitment to develop a more effective research system based on
actions where they have the greatest impact. The book presents,
from a viewpoint inside the European Commission, the nuts and bolts
of how EU research policy is actually designed. It also provides a
comprehensive analysis, on the basis of factual evidence, not only
of the positive impacts of European research, but of the various
criticisms that have been made of the Framework Programme.

Despite never having been previously published, Ann Hamlin's
pioneering study on the archaeology, architecture and history of
the early church in Northern Ireland, her Phd thesis, has proved
influential, not least for the wealth of information it presents,
and the skill with which it synthesises information from different
disciplines. The work forms a gazetteer of 266 sites related to
early Christianity, many identified for the first time, together
with a discussion section. This considers numbers, distribution and
topography of sites and the different classes of material evidence
(enclosures, churches and other buildings, burials, carved stones,
ballauns, wells, ecclesiastical metalwork and evidence of economy
and technology). It also integrates written and place-name
evidence.
Cameron doesn't want to go to prom. Not with his boyfriend, Shane,
and definitely not with his fake date, Virginia. Sure, it's senior
prom, it's the end of high school, and Virginia's drop-dead
gorgeous. But none of that matters to Cam, who's never liked any
high school dance. Ever.
Then an unexpected kiss changes everything, and Cam needs to make
a quick exit. After teaming up with a waiter who's been dealing
drugs in the bathroom, Cam leaves the prom. But his night is far
from over. From a high-speed car chase, to a stop at the after-prom
party, to a bar with a wild dance contest...Cam's night finally
ends in the most unlikely of romances.

The collection examines the ways in which the emerging
interdisciplinary study of care provokes a reassessment of the
connections and disjuncture between care and governance, ethics,
and public, personal and professional identities. Evolving from a
project coordinated by the Cambridge Socio-Legal Group, Spaces of
Care brings together leading international scholars to articulate
what we may consider to be a useful analytic of care. Lawyers,
anthropologists, sociologists and criminologists reflect on
specific aspects of conceptualising caring relations in
‘spaces’. These spaces include: communities of care and
abandonment; self-care and kinship care; spaces as ‘gaps’ in
care; the meanings of marketised care; and the ways in which care
is constructed and constrained in different ways in venues such as
homes, prisons, workplaces and virtual spaces. Common themes
include temporality (historical specificity) and the dynamics of
care across time and place; subjectivity (including different
experiences of care); the economies of care (including the
commodification of care; public and private manifestations of care;
privatised ‘care’); disruptions of care (which generate
vulnerabilities with regard to continuities of care); eligibility
(those deemed to be deserving and undeserving of care);
relationalities of care (collective and individual agency in caring
relations, kinship care), and technologies and imaginaries of care
(as in new notions of care forged by those in online virtual worlds
such as Second Life).
The Landmark Cases series highlights the historical antecedents of
what are widely considered to be the leading cases in a discipline,
and seeks to provide contexts in which to better understand how and
why certain cases came to be regarded as the 'landmark' cases in
any given field. Succession law's long pedigree, near-universal
application, immense capacity for human interest stories, somewhat
uncertain future in England and Wales, and close connection to
demographics make it an ideal candidate for a Landmark Cases
volume. The distinguished contributors to this collection consider
cases ranging from 1720 to 2017, covering issues such as
will-making and interpretation, the position of beneficiaries and
personal representatives, testamentary promises, and the extent of
testamentary freedom in England and Wales and beyond. The cases are
relevant not only to scholars and students of succession law per
se, but also those working in fields such as tax, trusts, tort and
land law. They raise issues as diverse as class, colonialism,
familial dynamics, expectations and obligations, mental health, and
the proper roles of the legal profession and the welfare state. The
collection will provoke much discussion on what makes a 'landmark'
case, as well as on the peculiarities and limitations of the case
law method.
