Land Law: Themes and Perspectives provides a collection of
specially commissioned essays for students studying land law at
undergraduate level. The book brings together leading authors, as
well as some younger scholars, and explores land law from a variety
of traditions within legal scholarship. The book contains chapters
on topics essential to all land law courses, and seeks to question
the boundaries of the discipline and to engage with wider debates
about the role of land in society. The five parts of the book
address separate themes within land law. The first part explores
what is meant by 'property in land'. Part two sets land law in a
historical perspective, from romanist ideas on land through to
recent land law reforms. Part three explores the connections
between land law and citizenship, with chapters on women's claims
to property, adverse possession, mortgages, homelessness,
indigenous peoples in Australia, and post-apartheid laws in South
Africa. Part four discusses a range of policy issues from the
family home to the increasing 'europeanization of land law'. The
final part of the book explores land law from a more traditional,
doctrinal perspective, opening with a chapter setting out the five
keys to an understanding of land law. It will be invaluable reading
for all undergraduate students of land law as well as postgraduate
students and researchers working in the area.

to manage projects when these circumstances arise. The book also

projects. New to this edition is a chapter on development finance

Old South slavery was better than modern prisons.
This historically accurate and thoroughly researched book compares
the modern American prison system to antebellum slavery. You will
hear from 300 former antebellum slaves in their own words and learn
the gruesome facts about the modern U.S. correctional population of
7.3 million Americans. In the Old South, white people were the
outlaws, while African-Americans were considered safe and never
incarcerated. A surprising comparison proves that antebellum
slavery was not as bad as many believe - while modern mass
incarceration is an unrealized social and financial disaster of
mammoth proportions. The author proposes profound reforms in the
criminal justice and prison systems - methods already proven in the
Old South - to substantially help victims of crime, taxpayers, our
"new age slaves" in prison, and the American economy.
