The last twenty years have seen rapid development of the equitable
action for breach of confidence. The Spycatcher saga of the late
1980s led to the restatement of the fundamental principles. There
was increasing concern about press intrusion, and the need to
protect privacy rights guaranteed by Article 8 of the European
Convention in the wake of the Human Rights Act 1998. Against that
background, a number of high-profile cases-such as Campbell v MGN
Ltd (2004)-explored how common law principles laid down in the
nineteenth century might be adapted to twenty-first century
conditions. How far will the law go in protecting privacy?
Meanwhile, in the "information age", the law has had to grapple-for
instance in Douglas v Hello! Ltd (2007)-with how best to protect
the commercially valuable information and when it should assist
those who wish to exploit it. The result has been rapid development
of the law in many diverse areas. The Law of Confidentiality: A
Restatement goes behind the mass of cases to tease out the
fundamental principles underlying the modern law. It examines the
central questions of substance: the circumstances in which
information is protected by law, and how it responds to conflicting
public interests. It also looks at the important practical
questions of procedure and remedies. It aims to be useful to those
looking for a guide to the main principles and controversies in the
field, and also to the practising lawyer looking for a clear
statement of the basic principles.
Aimed at modellers of all abilities, this lavishly illustrated book
presents a step-by-step guide to figure painting and modelling
using traditional techniques. From the multipart hard-plastic 28mm
miniature to the metal and resin models common in all other scales,
this book provides wargamers, collectors and gamers with a wealth
of information to achieve the best results. It demonstrates a
variety of modelling and painting techniques at different scales;
it provides step-by-step guidance on building, converting and
painting models; it covers working in plastic, resin and white
metal; it explains dry brushing techniques, the three-colour
method, multilayering and shading with washes and, finally, it
considers basing techniques and maintaining the compatibility of
miniatures between different gaming systems.
Desmond Child is the ultimate hitmaker, contributing to some of the
biggest smash global hits that helped ignite the success of music
icons KISS, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Ricky Martin, Katy
Perry, and countless others. In Livin’ On A Prayer, he
reveals how he climbed his way to the top and beyond amid
extraordinary circumstances and shares his very personal and
unbelievable journey that shaped him into an artist of
international renown. For over half a century, Desmond Child has
collaborated with the world’s most celebrated artists creating
timeless hits, such as Bon Jovi’s “Livin' On A Prayer†and
“You Give Love A Bad Name†as well as Ricky Martin’s
“Livin’ La Vida Loca†and “The Cup Of Life†amongst his
vast catalog. But in Livin’ On A Prayer, Desmond himself
takes center stage to share his transformational story from misfit
outsider to cultural pacesetter. In collaboration with legendary
music biographer David Ritz, Child recounts his unconventional
upbringing as his colorful family fled Cuba in the 1960s and fell
into poverty. He details his shocking discovery at age 18 that the
man he called “dad†was not his biological father after all,
and he courageously bares his soul about navigating the trials of
being a Latino gay man in the macho world of rock and roll. His is
a story of willing himself to succeed and overcome impossible odds
to establish himself as one of the most influential composers and
lyricists of all time.
NEW YORK TIMES and INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER In Face the Music, Paul
Stanley-the co-founder and famous "Starchild" frontman of
KISS-reveals for the first time the incredible highs and equally
incredible lows in his life both inside and outside the band. Face
the Music is the shocking, funny, smart, inspirational story of one
of rock's most enduring icons and the group he helped create,
define, and immortalize. Stanley mixes compelling personal
revelations and gripping, gritty war stories that will surprise
even the most steadfast member of the KISS Army. He takes us back
to his childhood in the 1950s and '60s, a traumatic time made more
painful thanks to a physical deformity. Born with a condition
called microtia, he grew up partially deaf, with only one ear. But
this instilled in him an inner drive to succeed in the most
unlikely of pursuits: music. With never-before-seen photos and
images throughout, Stanley's memoir is a fully realized and
unflinching portrait of a rock star, a chronicle of the stories
behind the famous anthems, the many brawls and betrayals, and all
the drama and pyrotechnics on and off the stage. Raw and
confessional, Stanley offers candid insights into his personal
relationships, and the turbulent dynamics with his bandmates over
the past four decades. And no one comes out unscathed-including
Stanley himself. "People say I was brave to write such a revealing
book, but I wrote it because I needed to personally reflect on my
own life. I know everyone will see themselves somewhere in this
book, and where my story might take them is why I'm sharing it."
-Paul Stanley

This is the third revised edition of what was described by the
English Court of Appeal in C v D as the "standard work" on Bermuda
Form excess insurance policies. The Form, first used in the 1980s,
covers liabilities for catastrophes such as serious explosions or
mass tort litigation and is now widely used by insurance companies.
It is unusual in that it includes a clause requiring disputes to be
arbitrated under English procedural rules in London but subject to
New York substantive law. This calls for a rare mix of knowledge
and experience on the part of the lawyers involved, each of whom is
required to confront the many differences between English and US
law and legal culture. In addition, since the awards of arbitrators
are confidential and are not subject to the scrutiny of the courts,
the book helps professionals understand the Form's lengthy and
complex provisions. The book, first published in 2004, was the
first comprehensive analysis of the Bermuda Form. It is frequently
cited in Bermuda Form arbitrations and was the joint winner in 2012
of British Insurance Law Association Book Prize for the most
notable contribution to literature in the field of law as it
affects insurance. It offers a detailed commentary on how the Form
is to be construed, its coverage, the substantive law to be
applied, the limits of liability, exceptions, and, of course, the
procedures to be followed during arbitration proceedings in London.
The book will prove invaluable to lawyers, risk managers, and
executives of companies which purchase insurance on the Bermuda
Form, and to clients, lawyers or arbitrators involved in disputes
arising therefrom.

KISS is an American arena-rock group that formed in the early 1970s
in New York City and is most recognisable by their face paint and
dramatic outfits. With makeup and costumes, Paul Stanley, Gene
Simmons, Peter Criss, and Ace Frehley created characters and origin
stories similar to comic book characters: the Starchild, the Demon,
the Space Ace, and the Catman. KISS rose to meteoric prominence
with their extravagant live performances, featuring fire-breathing,
blood spitting, guitars bursting into flames, shooting rockets,
levitating drum kits, and pyrotechnic showpieces. Published in
conjunction with the band, KISS is the definitive chronicle of one
of the most popular and enduring rock bands at the height of their
popularity, showcasing the band performing in arenas and behind the
scenes offstage in both unguarded candids and glamour portraits.
The book contains a wealth of never-before-seen and previously
unpublished photographs and new interviews with Gene Simmons and
Paul Stanley, all bound into an artful, insider s view of the band.
Goldsmith s photographs perfectly capture the bombast, sexiness,
and spectacle of KISS, and KISS is the ultimate gift for fans.
