The sixth edition of Technique in Litigation has been substantially revised and updated, resulting in a book that still captures Morris’ humour and timeless wisdom, while at the same time being thoroughly topical and practical for the modern lawyer seeking to become a courtroom specialist.
The book will be of value not only to young practitioners still learning the technique of litigation, but also to more experienced practitioners to verify and enhance their courtroom techniques.
Sellers’ Midwifery 3e has been updated and aligned with international and national public health strategies to improve maternal and antenatal care as a sustainable development goal.

"Beautifully complex and deftly drawn...In Every Mirror She's Black
is a sexy, surprising, searing debut about love, loss, desire, and
the many dimensions of Black womanhood."—Deesha Philyaw, 2020
National Book Award Finalist & award-winning author of The
Secret Lives of Church Ladies An arresting debut for anyone looking
for insight into what it means to be a Black woman in the world.
Three Black women are linked in unexpected ways to the same
influential white man in Stockholm as they build their new lives in
the most open society run by the most private people. Successful
marketing executive Kemi Adeyemi is lured from the U.S. to Sweden
by Jonny von Lundin, CEO of the nation's largest marketing firm, to
help fix a PR fiasco involving a racially tone-deaf campaign. A
killer at work but a failure in love, Kemi's move is a last-ditch
effort to reclaim her social life. A chance meeting with Jonny in
business class en route to the U.S. propels former
model-turned-flight-attendant Brittany-Rae Johnson into a life of
wealth, luxury, and privilege—a life she's not sure she
wants—as the object of his unhealthy obsession. And Somali
refugee Muna Saheed, who lost her entire family, finds a job
cleaning the toilets at Jonny's office as she works to establish
her residency in Sweden and, more importantly, seeks connection and
a place she can call home. Told through the perspectives of each of
the three women, In Every Mirror She's Black is a fast-paced,
richly nuanced yet accessible contemporary novel that touches on
important social issues of racism, classism, fetishization, and
tokenism, and what it means to be a Black woman navigating a
white-dominated society. Lola Akinmade Åkerström is an
African-American (Nigerian-American) award-winning author, speaker,
and photographer based in Sweden. This is her first novel. Praise
for In Every Mirror She's Black: "In Every Mirror She's Black is a
wise and complicated exploration of the lives of three Black women
in America and Sweden. Lola Akinmade Åkerström offers a sharply
written story with messy, deeply moving characters, raising brutal
questions and steering clear of easy answers. A book that will
stick with you long after you've turned the last page."—Taylor
Jenkins Reid, New York Times bestselling author of Daisy Jones
& The Six "In Every Mirror She's Black highlights the struggles
of three women fighting to assimilate into a society that ignores
their worth. These characters will pull at your heartstrings. Lola
writes with a contemporary flair, highlighting the layered
subtleties of the Black woman's plight. In Every Mirror She's Black
will stay with readers for a long time."—Nicole Dennis-Benn,
author of bestselling novels Here Comes the Sun and Patsy "In Every
Mirror She's Black is an absolute must-read. From its relatable and
three-dimensional characters, to its delving into racism and
tokenism, to its unique and sometimes heartbreaking examination of
the lives of Black women in a Nordic setting, this novel delivers
an emotional punch. Kemi, Brittany, and Muna's lives come alive on
the page. If you're looking for a novel that will stay with you
even days after you've read the last page, then make sure you grab
a copy of Lola Akinmade Åkerström's In Every Mirror She's Black.
This is a very different and unpredictable portrayal of Black
women's search for love and self, and it's pure magic."—Kim

An acclaimed, bestselling novel - a stunning work of political
fiction that reads like a thriller, about the rise to power of
Putin's notorious spin doctor He was known as the Wizard of the
Kremlin. The enigmatic Vadim Baranov was a TV producer before
becoming political advisor to Putin. After his resignation from
this position, legends about him multiply, without anyone being
able to distinguish truth from fiction. Until one night, he tells
his story to the narrator of this book... This story immerses the
reader at the heart of Russian power, where sycophants and
oligarchs have been engaging in open warfare, and where Vadim, now
the regime's main spin doctor, turns an entire country into an
avant-garde political stage. Yet Vadim is not as ambitious as the
others. Entangled in the increasingly dark secret workings of the
regime he has contributed to build, he will do anything to get out,
guided by the memory of his grandfather, an eccentric aristocrat
who survived the Revolution, and the mesmerizing, merciless Ksenia,
whom he has fallen in love with. From the war in Chechnya to the
invasion of Ukraine, The Wizard of the Kremlin is a great novel on
contemporary Russia, and a sobering meditation on power, which
takes the reader behind the scenes of the Putin era.
This comprehensive Handbook examines public policy evaluation in
democracies. Focusing on the political dimension of the evaluation
process, it argues that policy evaluation can be an emancipatory
tool, reducing social inequalities and exclusion, and offers novel
suggestions on how evaluations can be used to improve democratic
policymaking. Laying out how evaluation relates to policy design,
law-making, performance auditing and policy learning, this Handbook
explores how policy evaluation can foster public participation,
strengthen governance and enhance democracy. It uses experimental,
constructivist and participatory approaches to analyse global case
studies, offering epistemological, theoretical, methodological and
normative insights. Contributors examine the institutionalisation
of policy evaluation in national and international political
systems, how to build evaluation capacity, the transformation of
evaluation practice through digitalisation, and the challenges
posed to evaluators by post-truth politics and artificial
intelligence. This Handbook will be an invaluable resource for
academic and professional policy evaluators seeking to deliver
effective evaluation processes. It will also be essential reading
for students and scholars of public policy, public administration
and management, and political research methods.
This timely book explores the innovative non-doctrinal methods
currently being used in environmental law research. Drawing on
their extensive experience, expert contributors provide insight on
how creative approaches to research can improve understanding of
law and policy, leading to more effective legal protection for the
environment. Focusing on qualitative research, chapters explain how
to use non-doctrinal methods in environmental law research,
including in-depth examples of successful uses. Contributors
identify the theoretical and practical challenges facing
contemporary environmental law researchers, providing guidance on
designing productive research programs. Alongside practical tips,
the book examines the scholarly philosophy of environmental law
research, determining how and why it differs from other areas of
research. It focuses in particular on how to respect scientific
principles when moving away from traditional doctrinal research
methods. Non-Doctrinal Research Methods in Environmental Law will
be an invaluable guide for environmental law academics and
researchers seeking to expand their understanding of modern
research methods. With extensive case studies and practical
guidance, it will also be a useful resource for research methods
scholars and teachers.
This timely book takes an insightful look at rethinking innovation
and how lessons can be learnt from what is a major turning point in
our contemporary societies: the urgent need to reduce the use or
consumption of certain substances and technologies due to the
dangers they pose to our environments and current way of life.
Using theoretical reflection and empirical work in a broad range of
sectors including agriculture, food, health, religion, energy,
packaging, markets and digital technology, eminent scholars utilise
new perspectives to enrich our understanding of innovation
processes and how these can be transformed. New Horizons for
Innovation Studies provides a deep dive into what our production
and consumption processes are, how they could be innovated
differently and how those innovations could interrogate social
science concepts and in particular science and technology studies.
Chapters explore key case studies and topics for innovation
studies, such as the reduced use of antibiotics and pesticides,
car-free cities, bans on plastic use and decreasing meat
consumption. Further, the book challenges both the partial and
complete withdrawal of certain substances and technologies that
currently sit at the heart of our contemporary lifestyles using
global case studies to illustrate the practices involved and the
emergence of alternatives as well as the potential resistance,
risks and outcomes. This engaging book will provide a
thought-provoking read for scholars and graduate students in
innovation policy, science and technology studies and public
policy.
Through careful investigation into the role of eco-innovation as a
catalysing factor in the societal transition towards
sustainability, this Handbook proposes more appropriate measures of
innovation as a driver of change. It examines innovation from
various perspectives, including labour, trade, the circular economy
and energy, to illustrate a more comprehensive picture of its
impacts. Chapters by leading authors from the sectors of
eco-innovation, sustainability transformations and green and
circular economies provide a meticulously balanced observation of
innovation at local, regional, national and global scales. By
featuring case studies from across Australasia, Europe and Latin
America, as well as empirical work and modelling exercises, this
forward-thinking Handbook links innovation to a range of
interconnected topics. It imparts new evidence to offer a succinct
conclusion about the potential success of certain innovation and
green industrial policies. This enlightening Handbook will be
valuable for scholars and academics studying economics and
management, economic and social innovation, and environmental
policy. It will also be of great benefit for those analysing policy
and industry professionals looking to learn more about
eco-innovation.

'The strength of Mr. Décharné's account is its zest ... he has an
infectious enthusiasm' Wall Street Journal With their draped suits,
suede creepers and immaculately greased hair, the Teddy Boys
defined a new era for a generation of teenagers raised on a diet of
drab clothes, Blitz playgrounds and tinned dinners. From the
Edwardian origins of their fashion to the tabloid fears of
delinquency, drunkenness and disorder, the story of the Teds throws
a fascinating light on a British society that was still reeling
from the Second World War. In the 1950s, working-class teenagers
found a way of asserting themselves in how they dressed, spoke and
socialised on the street. When people saw Teds, they stepped aside.
Musician and author Max Décharné traces the rise of the Teds and
the shockwave they sent through post-war Britain, from the rise of
rock 'n' roll to the Notting Hill race riots. Full of fascinating
insight, deftly sketching the milieu of Elvis Presley and Derek
Bentley, Billy Fury and Oswald Mosley, Teddy Boys is the story of
Britain's first youth counterculture.
A profound and ground-breaking new history of one of the most
important encounters in the history of colonialism: the British
arrival in India in the early seventeenth century. _______________
‘A triumph of writing and scholarship. It is hard to imagine
anyone ever bettering Das's account of this part of the story’ -
William Dalrymple, Financial Times ‘A fascinating glimpse of the
origins of the British Empire . . . drawn in dazzling
technicolour’ - Spectator ‘Beautifully written and masterfully
researched, this has the makings of a classic’ - Peter Frankopan
_______________ *A Financial Times Book to Read in 2023* When
Thomas Roe arrived in India in 1616 as James I’s first ambassador
to the Mughal Empire, the English barely had a toehold in the
subcontinent. Their understanding of South Asian trade and India
was sketchy at best, and, to the Mughals, they were minor players
on a very large stage. Roe was representing a kingdom that was
beset by financial woes and deeply conflicted about its identity as
a unified ‘Great Britain’ under the Stuart monarchy. Meanwhile,
the court he entered in India was wealthy and cultured, its
dominion widely considered to be one of the greatest and richest
empires of the world. In Nandini Das's fascinating history of Roe's
four years in India, she offers an insider's view of a Britain in
the making, a country whose imperial seeds were just being sown. It
is a story of palace intrigue and scandal, lotteries and wagers
that unfolds as global trade begins to stretch from Russia to
Virginia, from West Africa to the Spice Islands of Indonesia. A
major debut that explores the art, literature, sights and sounds of
Jacobean London and Imperial India, Courting India reveals Thomas
Roe's time in the Mughal Empire to be a turning point in history
– and offers a rich and radical challenge to our understanding of
Britain and its early empire.
