This text analyzes the political and material conditions driving
contemporary border control policies and discusses the processes
that mediate popular and official understandings of border-related
fatalities.
The collection considers the growing importance of the border as a
prime site for state activity and the impact of such activity on
human rights and global justice. It explores how state activity on
the border simultaneously creates and responds to crime,
criminalizing individuals who irregularly cross borders while
ignoring far more harmful cross border activities committed by
powerful actors. This book extends understandings of borders in
order to make sense of the shifts in the ways states exercise power
and control over activities that are connected to or impact on
borders, and the consequences of these actions, particularly for
vulnerable groups. Covering subjects from e-trafficking, child
soldiers, the "global war on terror" in Africa and police
activities that generate crime, this collection analyses material
on a broad range of issues related to transnational crime and
countermeasures from North American, European and Australian
sources.

Winner of the Australian and New Zealand Society of Criminology
Christine M Alder Book Prize 2013Controlling border crossing has
become an urgent concern under conditions of globalization, leading
Western governments to introduce increasingly coercive control
measures. Far from eradicating spontaneous border crossing, this
defensive geography has fuelled illicit people-smuggling markets,
and forced asylum seekers and illegalized travellers into
increasingly hazardous journeys. Drawing on data from official
sources, media reports and lists of deaths collated by
non-governmental organizations in Europe, Australia and North
America, this book draws direct parallels between the border
control policies adopted across the Global North, and a mounting
death toll of illegalized border crossers. It analyses the
political and material conditions driving contemporary border
control policies and discusses the processes that mediate popular
and official understandings of border-related fatalities. In
seeking to account for, rather than merely count, border-related
deaths the book is intended to shift the debate about contemporary
border controls towards the acceptance of a more mobility-tolerant
future.

This volume contains indexes to a university library, a monastic
library, two cathedral libraries, a diocesan library and three
record offices. Outstanding among the manuscripts are two
Wycliffite New Testaments and John Mirk's popular sermon collection
'The Festial'.
Handlist to manuscripts in one of Britain's major medieval
repositories. Lambeth Palace Library, which dates from a bequest by
Archbishop Bancroft in 1610, is one of England's major repositories
of medieval manuscripts. More than half of the ninety-six
manuscripts and documents containing items of Middle English prose
were already present when the library was temporarily transferred
to Cambridge in 1647. In the succeeding centuries further
manuscript materials have continually been added, and within the
last few years the library has become home to the older part of
Sion College Library, an event that has added a further seven
manuscripts to the present handlist. The collection at Lambeth is
large enough to be fully representative of the corpus of Middle
English prose: the Brut, the Wycliffite Bible, and Love's Mirror,
for example, are all present, in some cases in multiple copies, as
are writings by Hilton and Rolle. There are sermon cycles
(including an almost complete set of Wycliffite sermons), medical
recipes, historical works, and anthologies of religious treatises.
Altogether the current handlist indexes almost 800 separate items,
ranging from the veterinary to the liturgical. O.S. PICKERINGis

The Index of Middle English Prose is an international collaborative
project which will ultimately locate, identify and record all
extant Middle English prose texts composed between c.1200 and
c.1500, in both manuscript andprinted form in medieval and
post-medieval versions. The first step towards this goal has been
this series of Handlists, each recording the holdings of a major
library or group of libraries. Compiled by scholars, Handlists
include detailed descriptions ofeach prose item with
identifications, categorisations and full bibliographical data.
Every Handlist will also contain a series of indexes including
listings of opening and closing lines, authors, titles, subject
matter and rubrics. For students of the middle ages Handlists
provide essential bibliographical tools and shed light on a wide
range of subjects.
