This book, first published in 1985, provides a comprehensive
treatment of the role of the military within civil society. With
analysis from a policing and military viewpoint (both rarely
available in public), and legal and historical perspectives, this
book sheds valuable light both on the role of the law in democratic
societies, and on the way the balance between the state and civil
liberties has been struck.

Fully updated, the sixth edition of International Human Rights
examines the ways in which states and other international actors
have addressed human rights since the end of World War II. This
unique textbook features substantial attention to theory, history,
international and regional institutions, and the role of
transnational actors in the protection and promotion of human
rights. Its purpose is to explore the difficult and contentious
politics of human rights, and how those political dimensions have
been addressed at the national, regional, and especially
international levels. Key features include: substantially revised
throughout, including new material on LGBTQ rights in Africa,
Indigenous peoples' rights in Guatemala, the Rohingya crisis in
Myanmar, and a new chapter on human rights and development; in-text
features such as discussion questions, suggested readings, case
studies, and "problems" to promote classroom discussion and
in-depth examination of topics; concise yet clearly organised and
comprehensive coverage of the topic. International Human Rights is
essential reading for courses and modules in human rights, politics
and international relations, law, criminal justice, sociology,
social work, public administration, and international development.
Symposium No. 73 of the International Astronomical Union was
devoted to the obser vational and theoretical aspects of close
binary stars. Just over 100 participants attended. The Local
Organizing Committee would like to thank the following: IAU for
travel grants. IBM United Kingdom Ltd for very generous support in
the form of travel grants. The Royal Society for the provision of
travel grants to participants from Eastern Europe. We also thank
the Director of the Institute of Astronomy, and our colleagues and
research students for their moral support and assistance. Finally
we thank Pauline Haughey for assisting with the editorial work.

From speech to breathing to overt movement contractions of muscles
are the only way other than sweating whereby we literally make a
mark on the world. Locomotion is an essential part of this equation
and exciting new developments are shedding light on the mechanisms
underlying how this important behavior occurs. The Neural Control
of Movement discusses these developments across a variety of
species including man. The editors focus on highlighting the
utility of different models from invertebrates to vertebrates. Each
chapter discusses how new approaches in neuroscience are being used
to dissect and control neural networks. An area of emphasis is on
vertebrate motor networks and particularly the spinal cord. The
spinal cord is unique because it has seen the use of genetic tools
allowing the dissection of networks for over ten years. This book
provides practical details on model systems, approaches, and
analysis approaches related to movement control. This book is
written for neuroscientists interested in movement control.
For over one hundred years, ornithologists and amateur birders have
jointly campaigned for the conservation of bird species,
documenting not only birds' beauty and extraordinary diversity, but
also their importance to ecosystems worldwide. But while these
avian enthusiasts have noted that birds eat fruit, carrion, and
pests; spread seed and fertilizer; and pollinate plants, among
other services, they have rarely asked what birds are worth in
economic terms. In Why Birds Matter, an international collection of
ornithologists, botanists, ecologists, conservation biologists, and
environmental economists seeks to quantify avian ecosystem services
the myriad benefits that birds provide to humans. The first book to
approach ecosystem services from an ornithological perspective, Why
Birds Matter asks what economic value we can ascribe to those
services, if any, and how this value should inform conservation.
Chapters explore the role of birds in such important ecological
dynamics as scavenging, nutrient cycling, food-chains, and
plant-animal interactions all seen through the lens of human
well-being to show that quantifying avian ecosystem services is
crucial when formulating contemporary conservation strategies. Both
elucidating challenges and providing examples of specific ecosystem
valuations and guidance for calculation, the contributors propose
that in order to advance avian conservation, we need to appeal not
only to hearts and minds, but also to wallets.
Frederick G. Whelan relates Hume's political theory to the other
parts of his philosophy, including his epistemology, his account of
human nature, and his ethics, emphasizing the unity of the whole.
