In this work Paula Pfeifer tells us what it was like to lose her hearing progressively during childhood, until she became profoundly deaf at the age of 31 years old and then decided to have a cochlear implant which enabled her to hear again. Full of highs and lows, her journey towards sound is described in a sincere and heartfelt manner. From the preliminary tests prior to surgery through to the cochlear implant activation and months of adaptation to her new life, Paula builds a compelling account that captivates both people with hearing loss and those who interact with them. Paula describes the process of making her decision to have a cochlear implant: ‘’this book tells the journey of a person who was born hearing and became deaf, a journey that is very different from someone who was born without hearing and did not know any sound. I say that because I am aware of the philosophical discussions surrounding deafness. However, I am not interested in these theories and philosophies: I opted for sound’’.

A North Carolina Sheriff’s Detective recounts a shocking case of domestic deception and brutal murder in this true crime chronicle. In 1993, single mom Kay Weden endured a series of senseless attacks on her family. Her son was nearly killed by a shot fired through their house. Then her elderly mother was murdered by an unknown intruder. Beyond this, Kay’s new boyfriend, Viktor Gunnarsson, had just disappeared without warning.

With nowhere else to turn, Kay reconnected with her ex-fiancé L.C. Underwood, a police officer adept at criminal investigations. L.C. assured Kay he would get to the bottom of her terrible nightmare.

Tort law is often regarded as the clearest example of traditional common law reasoning. Yet, in the past 40 years, the common law of England and Wales has been subject to European influences as a result of the introduction of the European Communities Act 1972 and, more recently, the implementation of the Human Rights Act 1998 in October 2000. EU Directives have led to changes to the law relating to product liability, health and safety in the workplace, and defamation, while Francovich liability introduces a new tort imposing State liability for breach of EU law. The 1998 Act has led to developments in privacy law and made the courts reconsider their approach to public authority liability and freedom of expression in defamation law. This book explores how English tort law has changed as a result of Europeanisation - broadly defined as the influence of European Union and European human rights law. It also analyses how this influence has impacted on traditional common law reasoning. Has Europeanisation led to changes to the common law legal tradition or has the latter proved more resistant to change than might have been expected?
