While Homer Roared

Clean Limericks, to Warm the Chuckles of Your Heart

By: Basil Wentworth

My aim in publishing these little jewels has been twofold: to vent some of the outrageous puns and other wordplay that keeps invading my mind, and to show the world that a limerick can be fun without being "dirty". To quote from the introductory section of the book: "these limericks are clean. For the most part, squeaky clean. Although a mild double entendre does creep in now and then, if you are looking for a rich mudhole of salacious or scatological innuendo to wallow in, these are not for you." Read them, and enjoy!

The horse in history

By: Basil Tozer

This meticulously researched and humour-filled illustrated account of horses from the earliest times to the end of the nineteenth century is as absorbing and in places surprising as when it first appeared in 1908. How did the ancient Greeks and Persians use horses, what about Alexander the Great, Henry VIII: Wellington, who were the most celebrated horses of history..and which if them sired the leading race horses of today? It's all here, and more, in this affectionate history of that loveable, wise, mythic creature of deepest humanity and wisdom, our four-legged flying-tail faithful equine friend.

Travels in India, Ceylon and Borneo

By: Captain Basil Hall

First published in 1931. 'Hall is the ideal travel-writer. He never wearies his readers, but makes them love him.' Times Literary Supplement Basil Hall's Fragments of Voyages and Travels originally appeared in nine volumes. Miscellaneous in their topics, and arranged without any order the volumes re-issued here have been selected for their clarity and interest, both geographical and historical. Few books give a more graphic picture of the Royal Navy a century ago and Hall's volumes are full of nautical information. Hall was also an indefatigable traveller and a keen observer who learnt Hindustani, Malay and Japanese, studied Hindu mythology, flora, fauna and geology and compiled the first ever vocabulary of the language of the Loo Choo Islands.

Judicial Recourse to Foreign Law

A New Source of Inspiration?

By: Basil Markesinis,Jorg Fedtke

Accessible and clearly structured, this is the first book to include examinations of public and private law in the discussion about access to foreign laws. With commentaries by an international collection of leading judges in the field, it looks at the practice in a range of countries spread across the globe. In jurisprudence an exchange of ideas is essential, as there is no monopoly of wisdom. Legal convergence is particularly beneficial to both public law, as constitution building is done in so many parts of the world, and to commercial law, where enhanced communication, trade and information mean that people have to work more closely together. This book: examines the theme of judicial mentality and how it helps or hinders recourse to foreign ideas raises and addresses the dangers that accompany comparative law and judicial creativity looks at the practice in America, Canada, England, France, Germany, Italy, Israel, South Africa and at the European Court of Justice. Ideal for practitioners and academics, it is an essential read for those working in or studying jurisprudence at undergraduate or postgraduate level.
