What is it to do justice to the absent victims of past injustice,
given the distance that separates us from them? Grounded in
political theory and guided by the literature on historical
justice, W. James Booth restores the dead to their central place at
the heart of our understanding of why and how to deal with past
injustice. Testimonies and accounts from the race war in the United
States, the Holocaust, post-apartheid South Africa, Argentina's
Dirty War and the conflict in Northern Ireland help advance and
defend Booth's claim that caring for the dead is a central part of
addressing past injustice. Memory, Historic Injustice, and
Responsibility is an insightful and original book on the
relationship of past and present in thinking about what it means to
do justice. A valuable addition to the currently available
literature on historical justice, the volume will be of great
interest to students and scholars of political science, philosophy,
history, and law.

Rational choice approaches to the study of politics are of great
and growing prominence in political science. There are an
increasing number of collections devoted to the methods of rational
choice theory and specialized monographs applying it to individual
topics. The present volume is unique in that it is a collection of
substantive applications of rational choice theory in three of the
main fields of political inquiry: comparative politics,
international relations and political theory. The essays gathered
here represent work by many of the most outstanding scholars in the
discipline showing how rational choice theory may be employed in
the analysis of fundamental political questions.

Historians, numismatists and philologists consider fundamental
aspects of 9c political and economic history. The ninth century was
a period of upheaval in England, as the kingdoms of Mercia and
Wessex vied for supremacy, and East Anglia and Kent sought to
regain their independence, with the arrival of the Vikings
introducing a further element of unrest. This interdisciplinary
collection of papers by historians, numismatists and philologists
considers fundamental aspects of the period's political and
economic history. Alliances and treaties are a central theme,
political and monetary. A radical reassesment of events in London
in the later ninth century is presented, prompted by a detailed
examination of the numismatic evidence marshalled here along with
the written sources; it is argued that the Vikings were not in
control of the city prior to Alfred's "reoccupation" in AD 886. The
volume includes an illustrated corpus of the coinage of Berhtwulf
and another for the middle years of Alfred's reign; moneyers are
identified as witnesses to charters, and the forms of their names
are analysed according to the Old English dialects they represent.
A listing of some 500 single coin-finds forms the basis for a
discussion of the nature and extent ofmonetary use in ninth-century
England. The late MARK BLACKBURN was Keeper of Coins and Medals at
the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge; DAVID DUMVILLE is Emeritus
Professor at the University of Aberdeen. Contributors: SIMON
KEYNES, THOMAS CHARLES-EDWARDS, JAMES BOOTH, MARK BLACKBURN, LORD
