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.
Putting the anthropological imagination under the spotlight, this
book represents the experience of three generations of researchers,
each of whom have long collaborated with the same Indigenous
community over the course of their careers. In the context of a
remote Indigenous Australian community in northern Australia, these
researchers-anthropologists, an archeologist, a literary scholar,
and an artist-encounter reflexivity and ethnographic practice
through deeply personal and professionally revealing accounts of
anthropological consciousness, relational encounters, and knowledge
sharing. In six discrete chapters, the authors reveal the
complexities that run through these relationships, considering how
any one of us builds knowledge, shares knowledge, how we encounter
different and new knowledge, and how well we are positioned to
understand the lived experiences of others, whilst making ourselves
fully available to personal change. At its core, this anthology is
a meditation on learning and friendship across cultures.
This book contributes fresh theoretical and empirical evidence on
patterns of regional production structures, specialization,
regional disparities, convergence and divergence processes and
evaluation of cohesion policies in both current and future European
Union (EU) member states in the context of increased integration.
These subjects are addressed in both individual and cross-country
analyses using innovative methodologies. The book is an essential
reading for a large audience including researchers and policy
makers working in the fields of economic integration, transition
economics and regional development. The thirteen contributions
brought together in this book are the result of recent research
undertaken in the framework of a larger project initiated and
coordinated by the Center for European Integration Studies (ZEI) of
the University of Bonn on determinants of regional specialization,
growth and convergence in the context of European integration. A
number of these papers were presented to a conference on "European
integration, regional convergence, location of industrial activity
and labour market adjustment" initiated by the Center for European
Integration Studies of the University of Bonn and organized jointly
with the Center for European Studies of the University "Alexandru
Ioan Cuza" of Iasi, Romania. We gratefully acknowledge the

This collection of essays represents the first book to explore the
complex influence of homosexuality on the life and fiction of Henry
James. An extensive biographical introduction is complemented by an
essay documenting James' friendships with younger men, which
includes quotations from unpublished letters. Other subjects
include the influence on James of the emergence of a specific
concept of the homosexual in Victorian England and James' reactions
to the aesthetic movement. New, often radical, perspectives on
stories from all phases of James' career are also included.
This Palgrave Pivot strives to recount and understand Indigenous
Law, as set within a remote community in northern Australia. It
pays close attention to the realpolitik and high-level political
functioning of Indigenous Laws, which inspires a discussion of how
this Law models the relational, influences governance and
emplaces people in an ordered kincentric lifeworld. The book argues
that Indigenous Law can be examined for the ways in which it is a
deliberate, stabilizing and powerful force to maintain communal
order in relation to Country, a counter framing to popular and
‘soft law or soft power asset’ visions of such Laws often held
in the national and international imaginary. It is the latter which
too often renders this knowledge esoteric and relinquishes it to a
category of lore or folklore. This is an open access book.
In the 1890s, when Henry James tried to achieve fame and financial security by turning to the theater, he was unceremoniously booed off the stage. Since the 1940s and '50s his fiction has nevertheless been consistently interpreted by composers and film directors, culminating in the recent film adaptations of his novels by Merchant-Ivory, Jane Campion, and Iain Softley. Henry James on Stage and Screen traces this historical development.

Essays consider the changes and development of Scotland at a time
of considerable flux in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. The
years between the deaths of King Mael Coluim and Queen Margaret in
1093 and King Alexander III in 1286 witnessed the formation of a
kingdom resembling the Scotland we know today, which was a full
member of the European club ofmonarchies; the period is also marked
by an explosion in the production of documents. This volume
includes a range of new studies casting fresh light on the
institutions and people of the Scottish kingdom, especially in
thethirteenth century. New perspectives are offered on topics as
diverse as the limited reach of Scottish royal administration and
justice, the ties that bound the unfree to their lords, the extent
of a political community in the time of King Alexander II, a view
of Europeanization from the spread of a common material culture,
the role of a major Cistercian monastery in the kingdom and the
broader world, and the idea of the neighbourhood in Scots law.
There are also chapters on the corpus of charters and names and the
innovative technology behind the People of Medieval Scotland
prosopographical database, which made use of over 6000 individual
documents from the period. Matthew Hammond is a Research Associate
at the University of Glasgow. Contributors: John Bradley, Stuart
