Stephen Cretney has long been regarded as the leading English
scholar in the field of family law, as prolific as he is profound.
From textbooks that provided guidance to generations of students to
the crowning achievement of Family Law in the Twentieth Century: A
History, his writing has always been a model of elegance and
erudition. Even if the essays in this book had not been written in
his honour, they would inevitably have had to rely heavily on his
work. Private ordering, marriage, civil partnership, cohabitation,
children, separation, divorce - the entire spectrum of family law
is covered here - have all benefited from his insightful comments
and meticulous scholarship. What also became apparent from the rush
of judges and academics (including both established and
up-and-coming researchers) wanting to contribute to this work is
the equally high personal regard in which Stephen Cretney is held
by his - for want of a better word - 'peers'. This book is a labour
of love. With a foreword by Nicholas Wilson and contributions by
Andrew Bainham, Chris Barton, Elizabeth Cooke, Ruth Deech, Gillian
Douglas, John Eekelaar, Stephen Gilmore, Brenda Hale, Sonia
Harris-Short, Joanna Harwood, Jonathan Herring, Sue Jenkinson,
Sanford N. Katz, Penny Lewis, Nigel Lowe, Mavis Maclean, Judith
Masson, Joanna Miles, Walter Pintens, Christine Piper, Rebecca
Probert, Neil Robinson, Simon Rowbotham, and Jens M. Scherpe.

review
star] "Lichtenheld's snarling shark and grimacing train are
definitely ready for a fight, and his scenarios gleefully play up
the absurdity. The combatants' expressions are priceless when they
lose. A glum train in smoky dejection, or a bewildered, crestfallen
shark? It's hard to choose; both are winners." -- Kirkus, starred
review
John Roy Lynch spent most of his childhood as a slave in
Mississippi, but all of that changed with the Emancipation
Proclamation. Suddenly people like John Roy could have paying jobs
and attend school. While many people in the South were unhappy with
the social change, John Roy thrived in the new era. He was
appointed to serve as justice of the peace and was eventually
elected into the United States Congress. This biography, with its
informative backmatter and splendid illustrations, gives readers an
in-depth look at the Reconstruction period through the life of one
of the fi rst African-American congressmen.
Here are some quotes from Chris Barton's friends and family when
they found out he was writing a book: "What the Hell are you
writing a book for? Nobody reads nowadays." "Who is going to buy
it?" "I hope I am not in it..." So here it is: 'Beautifully
Mundane', the story of David Banks, husband, father, normal
everyday guy who is never going to change the world, or climb a
mountain, or even go into space, but through whose eyes we can see
that there is joy to be had in the normal complexities of everyday
life. We follow his journey as he takes his family away on holiday
to Cornwall, and we discover how much like David Banks we all are
and that the mundane is not something we should be ashamed of but
we can shout from the rooftops with pride. Oh and by the way it is
funny too!!

Most academic literature focuses on the position of the child in
relation to the parent or the state. In reality, the law is more
concerned with the role and function of parents, and this new book
addresses the key issues of parental rights and responsibilities.
