Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Born into working class poverty in the North of England in 1925,
Eddie Davies' personal account illustrates the remarkable and
colourful lives led by many 'ordinary people'. From a succession of
dead-end and downright dangerous jobs, through a ferocious (though
often hilarious) World War II, back to Blighty and then off to
central Africa for more hair-raising adventures. All this well
before I even met the man who was to become father-in-law and
grand-dad to my kids. We should be grateful that there are those
prepared and able to describe their journey through a rapidly
changing world - a world that has all but disappeared as we hurtle
towards an uncertain future. No doubt there will be similar shared
memories for many of the older ones amongst us, and a damn good
read for the rest!
Feminism and transgender, as social factions or collective
subjectivities, have historically evaded, vilified or negated each
other's philosophy and subjectivities. In particular, separatist
feminist theorists have portrayed the two 'sides' as consisting of
mutually incompatible aims and subjectivities. These portrayals
have worked to the detriment of both feminism and transgender.
Third Wave Feminism and Transgender considers what positive
outcomes on society in general, and the law as it pertains to
gender in particular, may emerge from the identification of and
cooperation between third wave feminism and transgender.
Challenging the 'internecine exclusion' between and within each
faction, Davies shows that queer-inspired philosophical third wave
feminism promises to be an inclusive social discourse providing a
substantial challenge to mutual exclusion. Indeed, this book
explores the span of maternal relations, including womanism, ethics
of care and semiotic language and subsequently reveals how gender
variant people can highlight the gendered operation of conventional
ethics. With a focus on Carol Gilligan and Julia Kristeva as key
instigators of a philosophical third wave of feminism, this
enlightening monograph will appeal to students and postdoctoral
researchers interested in fields such as women's studies,
transgender studies and gender law.
Many construction conflicts and disputes are not limited to
particular jurisdictions or cultures, but are increasingly becoming
common across the industry worldwide. This book is an invaluable
guide to international construction law, written by a team of
experts and focusing on the following national systems: Australia,
Canada, China, England and Wales, Estonia, Hong Kong, Iraq,
Ireland, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Oman, Portugal,
Quebec, Romania, Scotland, Sweden, Switzerland, and the USA. The
book provides a consistent and rigorous analysis of each national
system as well as the necessary tools for managing conflict and
resolving disputes on construction projects.
To reflect the need for increasing expertise in a highly complex
legal arena, the Conseil International du Batiment pour la
Recherche L'Etude et la Documentation (CIB) inaugurated an
international task force, TG15, to study the area of construction
disputes around the world, which now has more than 120 members in
30 countries. Drawing from an international expert author based
from the CIB taskforce, and edited by coordinators of TG15, experts
representing both the legal and construction professions, this book
aims to provide a first reference for those considering, or
already, working in the international workplace. Each of the 25
national monographs report on construction dispute practice and
procedure according to a standard format, providing the reader with
the necessary tools for managing conflicts and resolving disputes
on construction projects in different countries.
