All Day Long

A Portrait of Britain At Work

By: Joanna Biggs

Nearly all of us have to work, but how much do we really know about what other people do all day? What is it like to be a fishmonger, a sex worker or an Orthodox rabbi? Or a banker, a research scientist or a carer? How do our jobs affect our lives, beliefs and happiness? And what happens when we don't work? Joanna Biggs has travelled the country to find the answers, talking to interns and bosses, professionals and entrepreneurs, thinkers and doers. She takes us from Westminster to the Outer Hebrides, from a hospital in Wales to the industrial Midlands, introducing us to different worlds of work and the people who inhabit them. Rich with the voices of the wealthy and poor, native and immigrant, women and men of the UK in the twenty-first century, All Day Long shows us who we are through what we do.

Legal Interpretation in International Commercial Arbitration

By: Joanna Jemielniak

This book fills a gap in legal academic study and practice in International Commercial Arbitration (ICA) by offering an in-depth analysis on legal discourse and interpretation. Written by a specialist in international business law, arbitration and legal theory, it examines the discursive framework of arbitral proceedings, through an exploration of the unique status of arbitration as a legal and semiotic phenomenon. Historical and contemporary aspects of legal discourse and interpretation are considered, as well as developments in the field of discourse analysis in ICA. A section is devoted to institutional and structural determinants of legal discourse in ICA in which ad hoc and institutional forms are examined. The book also deals with functional aspects of legal interpretation in arbitral discourse, focusing on interpretative standards, methods and considerations in decision-making in ICA. The comparative examinations of existing legal framework and case law reflect the international nature of the subject and the book will be of value to both academic and professional readers.

William Henry Hunt

Country People

By: William Henry Hunt,Joanna Selbourne,Barnaby Wright

Taking its lead from William Henry Hunt's watercolour The Head Gardener in The Courtauld Gallery's permanent collection, this focused exhibition is the first to investigate Hunt's striking depictions of rural figures in the 182.os and 183os. Consisting of twenty watercolours selected from collections across the UK, William Henry Hunt : Country People brings together a caste of country folk in their working or living environments, from farmers and millers to estate gardeners, poachers and gamekeepers. The representation of these rural figures, treated with dignity and respect, raises important questions about the changing conditions of rural labour and the land during Hunt's lifetime. Celebrated especially for his beautiful depictions of birds' nests and other still lifes, this exhibition sheds light on a little-known aspect of one of the most admired British watercolourists of the nineteenth century.
