Shenandoah County, in the years prior to the Civil War, was a
prosperous place. Nestled within the Shenandoah Valley, it was a
haven for agricultural commerce fueled by slave labor. Integral
railways and transportation routes passed through Shenandoah
County, feeding its impressive agricultural output throughout the
Virginia. With the outbreak of Civil War, all of that would change.
Four major battles took place in and around Shenandoah County New
Market, Toms Brook, Fishers Hill, and Cedar Creek. Although the
proceedings of these historic battles have been well-documented,
the effect the combat had on residents of Shenandoah County has
receded into the background. Now, author Hal Shape brings the lives
of county residents to fore, recounting how their spirits were
tested during this dark hour of American history.

fortune. Occupiers of the street vary from those who have lived
there since before the London property boom, including elderly
widow Petunia Howe (Gemma Jones), to the recently moved in
wealthier residents, including banker Roger Hunt (Jones). After all
of the street's residents receive mysterious postcards bearing the
message 'We want what you have', the interweaving connections
between them begin to unravel.

This thoroughly engaging book uses empirical analysis to illustrate
that the response of individuals to global terror events, via
social media, provokes an opportunity to interpret the ways in
which individuals view their place in the world and their relation
to law and justice. It is through analysing these responses that
Cassandra Sharp demonstrates that a 'hashtag jurisprudence' can be
constructed. Sharp offers a theory of law that combines narratives,
the experience of terror and the expression of emotion through
social media engagement. Using thought-provoking case studies of
terrorist attacks between 2014 and 2018 from around the world, the
book examines how social media has quickly become the new forum for
members of the public to express their opinions on current law and
justice. It further demonstrates the significant impact that
comments on social media platforms can have on social justice
issues and activism. This timely book will be required reading for
academics in law, social sciences and humanities. Scholars with an
interest in legal theory, philosophy, and law and emotion will find
the case study findings insightful and informative.
