The Presence of Things Past

Stories

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Collecting stories from John Taylor's upbringing in Des Moines, these "charming evocations of a Midwestern childhood" (as the French film director Louis Malle called them), recall an "average" neighborhood in the 1950s and 1960s. The death of the author's mother gives rise to these sensitive reminiscences, which also conjure up first loves, playmates, and a motley assortment of true-to-life characters who express their modest joys and lasting secret sorrows. The Presence of Things Past (the title alludes to the eleventh book of the Confessions of Saint Augustine), is a tribute to a lost mother, a lost neighborhood, a lost city, and a lost childhood.

Environmental Taxation Law

Policy, Contexts and Practice

By: Mr Jeremy de Souza,Mr John Snape

This excellent volume examines the legal implications of introducing environmental taxes and other economic instruments into the regulatory framework of UK law. In doing so, it analyzes and explains the difficulties of grafting environmental taxes onto the complexities of existing regulatory structures, not all of which, of course, were originally devised with environmental considerations in mind.
