Water Brings No Harm

Management Knowledge and the Struggle for the Waters of Kilimanjaro

By: Matthew V. Bender

In Water Brings No Harm, Matthew V. Bender explores the history of community water management on Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. Kilimanjaro’s Chagga-speaking peoples have long managed water by employing diverse knowledge: hydrological, technological, social, cultural, and political. Since the 1850s, they have encountered groups from beyond the mountain—colonial officials, missionaries, settlers, the independent Tanzanian state, development agencies, and climate scientists—who have understood water differently. Drawing on the concept of waterscapes—a term that describes how people “see” water, and how physical water resources intersect with their own beliefs, needs, and expectations—Bender argues that water conflicts should be understood as struggles between competing forms of knowledge. Water Brings No Harm encourages readers to think about the origins and interpretation of knowledge and development in Africa and the global south. It also speaks to the current global water crisis, proposing a new model for approaching sustainable water development worldwide.

Guernsey Trust Law

By: Tony Pursall,Matthew Guthrie

This book is intended to be a comprehensive treatise of Guernsey trust law providing answers for practitioners advising on Guernsey trusts and trustees administering them. In particular, it provides a detailed analysis of the provisions of the Trusts (Guernsey) Law 2007 (as amended), a consideration of Guernsey trust cases as well as relevant cases in Jersey and in other jurisdictions, and analysis of the legal principles underpinning Guernsey trust law. Where there is no clear Guernsey authority on a particular point of law it gives a reasoned view, drawing on relevant legal principles, together with a broad assessment of the confidence of which the authors hold that view.

Sports Law

Governance and Regulation

By: Matthew J. Mitten,Timothy Davis,Barbara Osborne,N. Jeremi Duru

In Sports Law: Governance and Regulation, Third Edition four of the nation’s leading sports law scholars have merged their expertise to produce this problem-based sports law and governance text for undergraduate and graduate students. Drawing on the work they have done in developing the field’s leading sports law casebook for law students, they present this text in the traditional law school case method style, but with an eye toward accessibility for non-law students. Whether students are interested in careers in professional or amateur sports law, this text will equip them with the foundational knowledge necessary to identify legal issues, minimize risk, and become a generation of problem solvers within the sports industry. Contracts, torts, agency, labor and employment, racial and gender equity, antitrust, and intellectual property law are all addressed, as are health and safety issues and high school, college, and international/Olympic/regulatory concerns. Moreover, the text explores the sports industry with an appreciation of its dynamism, examining topics from cutting edge issues in athlete representation to the uncertain future of big-time intercollegiate athletics. Sports Law: Governance and Regulation, Third Edition is a must for undergraduate and graduate students interested in the sports industry.
