No satisfactory explanation has been given for the burial of a
large Saxon gold hoard found in Hammerwich, Staffordshire in 2009.
Speculation on who buried the treasure has led to many ideas based
on battles, warriors and plundering kings. An alternative vision is
given with greater emphasis placed on the religious items, the
early church at Lichfield and the amassing of artwork in religious
houses from the seventh century onwards. The Christian pieces are
explained in new ways and the gold is discussed from the point of
view of a Churl, Monk, Bishop, Warrior and King. An argument is
presented based on available evidence to suggest why the hoard was
buried and who possibly might have buried the precious items in
despair. Archaeology, local history, Saxon beliefs and historical
events are brought together to give a new way of seeing the
Staffordshire Hoard.

Ethics Online: How the Internet and Other Technology Shifts are
Changing Morality helps students understand the basics of ethics as
they are lived in today's world. The text introduces readers to
traditional approaches to morality, narrows key theories into
specific principles, and then uses those principles to examine many
of the difficult moral questions we face in our contemporary,
technology-driven society. The opening chapter introduces the
basics of ethics, key terminology, and the mindset that will help
students think critically and carefully consider moral issues.
Additional chapters cover fundamental moral theory, justice and
rights, the concept of autonomy, the principles of beneficence and
non-maleficence, and the importance of cultivating particular
virtues in a technologically centered world, where we often
interact with anonymous strangers. Closing chapters look at
specific ethical issues that have been created by the growth of
internet technology and the prevalence of social media. Online
harassment, free speech, online justice, trust and authority
online, group polarization, internet communities, and our changing
notions of propriety and corporate responsibility are covered.
Designed to help students develop informed decisions about the
moral issues that face our society, Ethics Online is ideal for
courses in moral theory, ethics, and philosophy, especially those
with a focus on practical application.

Nathan Hunter does not believe in coincidences-a broken stirrup
leather, untied mooring line, Meg Callahan's incredulous fall in a
top equestrian event, horses testing positive for illegal
substances, and the suspicious barn fire which claimed the life of
Meg's grandfather. Then things get worse, confirming his beliefs.
Sited on the headwaters of the Chesapeake Bay and the outlet of the
Susquehanna River, the historic town of Havre de Grace, Maryland
was once home to a nationally acclaimed racetrack nicknamed "The
Graw." Little did Nathan Hunter know when he first visited the
Callahan dairy farm nearby, that what lay buried at the old track
would be the key to unraveling a series of sinister events that had
already claimed the life of one Callahan and several of their
Thoroughbreds. Nathan Hunter's dreams of one day improving the
breed of the Thoroughbred horse for soundness are encouraged by
Andrew Callahan-a strong, charismatic, dairy farmer who provides
Nathan with the father figure he never knew. With Liz, a sharp
shooting southern belle as his wife, Nathan is able to overcome his
infatuation for Callahan's gifted equestrian daughter, Meg,
and-with the help of Callahan resources-pursue his goal.
Unfortunately, because of his relationship with the Callahans,
someone seems bent on seeing that Nathan's dreams never become
reality. When a fire meant to kill Andrew and his son, Eric,
destroys the Callahan horse barn and leads to the discovery of a
secret hideout for slaves, valuable documents of grandfather
Callahan are found which point to ominous acts by a top racing and
breeding farm to ruin competition at all costs-including murder. In
their efforts to prove the merit of the elder Callahan's breeding
program, Nathan, Eric, Meg and Liz become the targets of the same
forces suspected of murdering Eric's grandfather; disaster
threatens them from Ireland, through Havre de Grace, and right into
Professor Nathan Hunter's classroom in Lexington, Kentucky.
Although the story is fictional, it is unique in that the author
introduces factual data and some basic research to allow the reader
to think critically about current practices in racing and breeding
Thoroughbreds which may be contributing to breakdowns. Attention is
given to Artificial Insemination-not now recognized by The Jockey
Club-as a means to assist breed improvement.

Good Judgment, based upon the author's experience as a lawyer, law
professor, and judge, explores the role of the judge and the art of
judging. Engaging with the American, English, and Commonwealth
literature on the role of the judge in the common law tradition,
Good Judgment addresses the following questions: What exactly do
judges do? What is properly within their role and what falls
outside? How do judges approach their decision-making task? In an
attempt to explain and reconcile two fundamental features of
judging, namely judicial choice and judicial discipline, this book
explores the nature and extent of judicial choice in the common law
legal tradition and the structural features of that tradition that
control and constrain that element of choice. As Sharpe explains,
the law does not always provide clear answers, and judges are often
left with difficult choices to make, but the power of judicial
choice is disciplined and constrained and judges are not free to
decide cases according to their own personal sense of justice.
Although Good Judgment is accessibly written to appeal to the
non-specialist reader with an interest in the judicial process, it
also tackles fundamental issues about the nature of law and the
role of the judge and will be of particular interest to lawyers,
judges, law students, and legal academics.
