analytical framework, the eighth edition of Pearce & Stevens'
Trusts and Equitable Obligations continues to provide students with
a relevant and exciting examination of a subject that can seem
remote and difficult. The authors take a modern and conceptual
approach to the wide array of topics covered in undergraduate
equity and trusts modules, helping students explore the many ways
in which trusts impact on everyday life, and in the world of
finance and commerce. The text is accessible without compromising
detailed critical comment, and engages with key issues such as the
protection of privacy, enforcing informal promises, trusts and the
family home, and assessing public interest in charities. Digital
formats and resources The eighth edition is available for students
and institutions to purchase in a variety of formats, and is

What does it mean to make art in Africa? In Making Art in Africa,
60 of the continent's leading artists give very different answers
to this question through a series of extraordinary first-hand
commentaries relating to specific works. The book includes accounts
from key curators and co-ordinators, and primary images are
considered in the context of contemporary events, personal
discoveries, and the networks such as Triangle which have brought
them together. Showcasing paintings, sculptures, prints and
installations, Making Art in Africa marries the selected interviews
and their associated images with archival and comparative
illustrations. The result is an unparalleled insight into the
artworks, experiences and processes of art making in Africa during
a period of radical social change. Visually appealing with
absorbing, accessible texts, Making Art in Africa provides a unique
contribution to the literature available on this fascinating
subject, and will be an essential purchase for scholars and general
readers alike.
Charitable organisations occupy a central place in society across
much of the world, accounting for billions of pounds in revenue. As
society changes, so does the law which regulates nonprofit
organisations. From independent schools to foodbanks, they occupy a
broad policy space. Not immune to scandals, sometimes nonprofits
are in the news for all the wrong reasons and so, when they are in
the public eye, regulators must respond to high profile cases. In
this book, a team of internationally recognised charity law experts
offers a modern take on a fast-changing policy field. Through the
concept of policy debates it moves the field forward, providing an
important reference point for developing scholarship in charity law
and policy. Each chapter explores a policy debate, setting out the
fault-lines in play, and often offering proposals for reform. Two
important themes are explored in this edited collection. First,
there is a policy tension in charity law between its largely
conservative history and the need to keep up-to-date with social
change. This pressure is felt acutely along key fault-lines, such
as the extent to which a body of law which developed before the
advent of legislated human rights is able to adapt to a
rights-based world, and the extent to which independent schools -
historically so closely linked with charity - might deserve their
generous tax-breaks. The second theme explores the law from the
perspective of a good-faith regulator, concerned to maximise the
usefulness of charities. From the need to reform old organisations,
to the need to ensure that charities enjoy the right amount of
regulatory freedom in a world of payment-by-result contracts, the
book critically charts the policy justifications for regulatory
intervention, as well as the costs that such intervention might
bring. Debates in Charity Law will be of interest to both academic
researchers and students of the non-profit sector, looking to
understand the links between law, social change and regulation. It
will also help and guide nonprofit employees and volunteers,
showing how their sector is shaped and moulded by the law.
