This is the Fifth Edition of the textbook that pioneered the
teaching of Evidence using problems rather than appellate opinions.
The text explores the Rules of Evidence and their rationales in a
straightforward fashion without hiding the ball or ignoring
complexities. Problems that clarify the Rules appear throughout the
chapters; larger problem sets that explore the Rules in detail are
found at the ends of chapters. The updated edition discusses
important recent cases and introduces social science findings and
recent developments in science and technology that bear on the
design and operation of the Rules of Evidence, and on their
rationale.
What might the world look like in the aftermath of COVID-19? Almost
every aspect of society will change after the pandemic, but if we
learn lessons then life can be better. Featuring expert authors
from across academia and civil society, this book offers ideas that
might put us on alternative paths for positive social change. A
rapid intervention into current commentary and debate, Life After
COVID-19 looks at a wide range of topical issues including the
state, co-operation, work, money, travel and care. It invites us to
see the pandemic as a dress rehearsal for the larger problem of
climate change, and it provides an opportunity to think about what
we can improve and how rapidly we can make changes.
Owen was the founder of the Natural History Museum, bringing the
collections over from the British Museum. Although he was a
supporter of evolutionary theory, he was reluctant to accept
Darwin's version of evolution. This volume examines fossil evidence
for change in species over time.
This volume presents the thoroughly revised proceedings of the
IJCAI '93 Workshop on Executable Modal and Temporal Logics held in
Chambery, France in August 1993.
The direct execution of logical statements, through languages such
as PROLOG, has proved remarkably successful within CS and AI. In
recent years a variety of nonclassical logics have been introduced
and several executable forms of these logics have been applied to
programming.
This volume addresses a range of approaches to executable modal and
temporal logics, not only from a logical point of view, but also
from programming language and application standpoints; in addition,
an introductory survey and an annotated bibliography are presented.
Fred Reichheld's 2006 book "The Ultimate Question, " that question
being, "How likely is it that you would recommend this company to a
friend or colleague?"-challenged the conventional wisdom of
customer satisfaction programs. It coined the terms 'bad profits'
and 'good profits' and pointed to a faster, much more accurate way
of gauging customers' real loyalty to a company, introducing a
quantitative measure (the Net Promoter Score) for establishing a
baseline and effectively tracking changes going forward. Richard
Owen and Laura Brooks are co-developers, along with Reichheld, of
the methodology behind answering the question. In this book, Owen
and Brooks tell how based on a variety of real case studies' to
actually embed Net Promoter discipline in organizations of all
types.
Geoffrey Chaucer might be considered the quintessential English
writer, but he drew much of his inspiration and material from
Italy. Without the tremendous influences of Francesco Petrarch and
Giovanni Boccaccio, the author of The Canterbury Tales might never
have assumed his place as the 'father' of English literature.
Nevertheless, Richard Owen's Chaucer's Italy begins in London,
where the poet dealt with Italian merchants in his roles as court
diplomat and customs official, before his involvement in arranging
the marriage of King Edward III's son Lionel in Milan and
diplomatic missions to Genoa and Florence. Scrutinising his
encounters with Petrarch, Boccaccio, and the mercenary knight John
Hawkwood, Owen reveals the deep influence of Italy's people and
towns on Chaucer's poems and stories. Much writing on Chaucer
depicts a misleadingly parochial figure, but, as Owen's
enlightening short study of Chaucer's Italian years makes clear,
the poet's life was internationally eventful. The consequences have
made the English canon what it is today.
Geoffrey Chaucer might be considered the quintessential English
writer, but he drew much of his inspiration and material from
Italy. In fact, without the tremendous influence of Francesco
Petrarch and Giovanni Boccaccio (among others), the author of The
Canterbury Tales might never have assumed his place as the 'father'
of English literature. Nevertheless, Richard Owen's Chaucer's Italy
begins in London, where the poet dealt with Italian merchants in
his roles as court diplomat and customs official. Next Owen takes
us, via Chaucer's capture at the siege of Rheims, to his
involvement in arranging the marriage of King Edward III's son
Lionel in Milan and his missions to Genoa and Florence. By
scrutinising his encounters with Petrarch, Boccaccio, and the
mercenary knight John Hawkwood - and with vividly evocative
descriptions of the Arezzo, Padua, Florence, Certaldo, and Milan
that Chaucer would have encountered - Owen reveals the deep
influence of Italy's people and towns on Chaucer's poems and
stories. Much writing on Chaucer depicts a misleadingly parochial
figure, but as Owen's enlightening short study of Chaucer's Italian
years makes clear, the poet's life was internationally eventful.

November 1925: In search of health and sun, the writer D. H.
Lawrence arrives on the Italian Riviera with his wife, Frieda, and
is exhilarated by the view of the sparkling Mediterranean from his
rented villa, set amid olives and vines. But over the next six
months, Frieda will be fatally attracted to their landlord, a
dashing Italian army officer. This incident of infidelity
influenced Lawrence to write two short stories, "Sun" and "The
Virgin and the Gypsy," in which women are drawn to earthy, muscular
men, both of which prefigured his scandalous novel Lady
Chatterley's Lover. In DH Lawrence in Italy, Owen reconstructs the
drama leading up to the creation of one of the most controversial
novels of all time by drawing on the unpublished letters and
diaries of Rina Secker, the Anglo-Italian wife of Lawrence's
publisher. In addition to telling the story of the origins of Lady
Chatterley, DH Lawrence in Italy explores Lawrence's passion for
all things Italian, tracking his path to the Riviera from Lake
Garda to Lerici, Abruzzo, Capri, Sicily, and Sardinia.

Ernest Hemingway is most often associated with Spain, Cuba and
Florida, but Italy was equally important in his life and work. This
book, the first full-length study on the subject, explores
Hemingway's visits throughout his life to such places as Sicily,
Genoa, Rapallo, Cortina and Venice. Richard Owen describes how
Hemingway first visited Italy during the First World War, an
experience that set the scene for A Farewell to Arms. The writer
then returned after the Second World War, and found inspiration for
Across the River and into the Trees. When Men Without Women was
published, some reviewers declared Hemingway to be at heart a
reporter preoccupied with bullfighters, soldiers, prostitutes and
hard drinkers, but their claims failed to note that he also wrote
sensitively and passionately about love and loss against an Italian
backdrop. Owen highlights the significance of Italy in the writer's
life. Showing how the Italian landscape, from the Venetian lagoon
to the Dolomites and beyond, deeply affected one of the greatest
writers of the twentieth century. Hemingway in Italy demonstrates
that this country stands alongside Spain as a key influence on his
writing - and why the Italians themselves took Hemingway and his
writing to heart.
