Do animals have legal rights? This pioneering book tells readers
everything they need to know about animal rights law. Using
straightforward examples from over 30 legal systems from both the
civil and common law traditions, and based on popular courses run
by the authors at the Cambridge Centre for Animal Rights, the book
takes the reader from the earliest anti-cruelty laws to modern
animal welfare laws, to recent attempts to grant basic rights and
personhood to animals. To help readers understand this legal
evolution, it explains the ethics, legal theory, and social issues
behind animal rights and connected topics such as property,
subjecthood, dignity, and human rights. The book's companion
website (bloomsbury.pub/animal-rights-law) provides access to
briefs on the latest developments in this fast-changing area, and
gives readers the tools to investigate their own legal systems with
a list of key references to the latest cases, legislation, and
jurisdiction-specific bibliographic references. Rich in exercises
and study aids, this easy-to-use introduction is a prime resource
for students from all disciplines and for anyone else who wants to
understand how animals are protected by the law.

scholarship, from the leading scholars of our day who share a
commitment to Scripture as divine revelation. This series
emphasizes a thorough analysis of textual, linguistic, structural,
and theological evidence. The result is judicious and balanced
insight into the meanings of the text in the framework of biblical
theology. These widely acclaimed commentaries serve as exceptional
resources for the professional theologian and instructor, the
seminary or university student, the working minister, and everyone

of biblical scholarship. Overview of Commentary Organization
Introduction-covers issues pertaining to the whole book, including
context, date, authorship, composition, interpretive issues,
purpose, and theology. Each section of the commentary includes:
Pericope Bibliography-a helpful resource containing the most
important works that pertain to each particular pericope.
Translation-the author's own translation of the biblical text,
reflecting the end result of exegesis and attending to Hebrew and
Greek idiomatic usage of words, phrases, and tenses, yet in
reasonably good English. Notes-the author's notes to the
translation that address any textual variants, grammatical forms,
syntactical constructions, basic meanings of words, and problems of
translation. Form/Structure/Setting-a discussion of redaction,
genre, sources, and tradition as they concern the origin of the
pericope, its canonical form, and its relation to the biblical and
extra-biblical contexts in order to illuminate the structure and
character of the pericope. Rhetorical or compositional features
important to understanding the passage are also introduced here.
Comment-verse-by-verse interpretation of the text and dialogue with
other interpreters, engaging with current opinion and scholarly
research. Explanation-brings together all the results of the
discussion in previous sections to expose the meaning and intention
of the text at several levels: (1) within the context of the book
itself; (2) its meaning in the OT or NT; (3) its place in the
entire canon; (4) theological relevance to broader OT or NT issues.
General Bibliography-occurring at the end of each volume, this
extensive bibliography contains all sources used anywhere in the
commentary.

RELATE (originally the National Marriage Guidance Council) is probably the largest and most successful service of its kind in the world. For over 50 years, helping many hundreds of thousands of couples and individuals, it has developed an approach to couple counselling that is based on acknowledgment of the uniqueness of individual clients and their relationships, a respect for their autonomy and cultural differences, and a commitment to counselling with empathy, genuineness and warmth. The authors of this book are excellently qualified to provide this unique account of the RELATE Approach in action: both were trained by RELATE, both have very substantial counselling experience, and both have supervised the work of other RELATE counsellors for several years. The ever-changing characteristics of relationships and family life are fully recognised in the RELATE Approach, which helps clients to find their solutions to difficulties of family life, transitions, separation, divorce, sexuality, gender and identity, by helping them to find meanings in the patterns of their relationships, and to make sense of emotions, thoughts and actions in themselves and their partner. This book is designed to enrich and stimulate the work of counsellors working within a wide range of counselling models and traditions. This is not a prescriptive manual but rather an informed guide to the RELATE Approach, which includes many illustrative examples and (invented) case studies. The RELATE Approach still depends upon the counsellor’s repertoire of counselling skills, but offers a three-stage counselling model (exploration, understanding, action) made operational within the format of brief, time-limited therapy. "The counsellors with RELATE and its predecessor, the Marriage Guidance movement, were the founders of counselling as we know it today. The approaches to counselling which they have developed have wide application. Butler and Joyce write very well and I found this book clear and full of good ideas for clinical practice. I can confidently recommend the book to all who care for couples in relationships." C. Murray Parkes OBE, MD, FRCPsych "A useful introduction to RELATE’s three-stage model of couple counselling and some of the concepts on which it is based." Christopher Clulow, Director of the Tavistock Marital Studies Institute
