Spend time at the International Criminal Court (ICC), and you will
hear the familiar language of anti-impunity. Spend any longer, and
you will encounter the less familiar language of management –
efficiency, risk, and performance. How have these two languages
fused within the primary institution of global justice? In this
book, Richard Clements explores that question through an historical
and conceptually layered account of management's impact on the
ICC's global justice project. The book historicises management,
highlighting the sites of struggle that have shaped the court's
managerial present.

Thomas Paul Stanton was born blessed with a strong personal
character, exceptional good looks and, at first glance, appeared to
be the all American dream boy. Born in 1960, at the end of the baby
boom, he was raised in a socially revolutionary era of American
history. It was the dawning of the age of enlightenment, the sexual
revolution, and the fight for individual rights. Isolated by the
obscurity of the burgeoning middle class sprawl, Thomas Paul finds
himself standing alone to face unrelenting adversity. With no
education, no knowledge of a family life beyond his own, and
nowhere to turn, he endures the neglect of his physically and
mentally ill mother, the tyranny of his menacing father, and
finally, just as he begins to find new hope, the ultimate abuse and
betrayal by a trusted priest. This is a story about a family, from
which hidden pathologies emerged, over time, to form and mold their
children into adults and set their moral compasses. It is about
parents, and how the environments they create shape us as people of
the world. The writers delve into the heart and mind of Thomas Paul
as he, with hope, courage, and deep spiritual convictions,
struggles to learn the true meaning of love, forgiveness, and the
value in living.

Is it obvious that a network of neurons can explain how we see?
There is an apocryphal story about the mathematician Hardy, who
wrote an equation on the blackboard and said "The proof of this is
obvious." After a little while he murmured "At least I think it
is," and left to check the proof in the library, only returning
just before the end of the lecture to announce "Yes, it is
obvious." Sometimes, mathematical techniques are necessary to be
sure that a network with a given set of properties will generate a
particular visual phenomenon. The geometrical concepts of vectors
and manifolds are introduced in the context of the visual system
and used to provide a framework for explaining the behaviour of the
visual system.

Complete Equity & Trusts is supported by clear author
commentary, choice extracts, and useful learning features. The
explanations and examples in this textbook have been crafted to
help students hone their understanding of trusts law. The Complete
titles are ambitious in their scope; they've been carefully
developed with teachers to offer law students more than just a
presentation of the key concepts. Instead they offer a complete
package. Only by building on the foundations of the subject, by
showing how the law works, demonstrating its application through
extracts from cases and judgments, and by giving students the tools
and the confidence to think critically about the law will they gain
a complete understanding. This book is accompanied by free online
resources, which feature resources for students and lecturers
including the following: - Guidence for answering end-of-chapter
questions in the book - Self-test question with instant feedback -
A flashcard glossary of key terms - Updates on legislation and case
law
The origins of Margate can be traced back to about 1050. The town
developed its identity as a holiday resort during the first quarter
of the nineteenth century when the journey time from London by
steam boat was six hours. By 1860 the railway had made the town
accessible to visitors from the capital in only two hours. The
images that appear in this book cover the period from 1870 to 1939
when professional photographs recorded many aspects of Margate, its
townspeople and its many thousands of holidaymakers. The superb
illustrations presented here have been taken from the author's
personal collection and readers will see that many areas of the
town have altered beyond all recognition, while other parts have
remained the same for over 100 years. This book brings to life the
social history of Margate through the reigns of four sovereigns,
from Queen Victoria to King George VI; it will evoke long-forgotten
memories of the town and give great pleasure to all who know and
love this seaside town.
