When one considers the sheer amount of rock and earth that the Victorians excavated as they criss-crossed Britain with railways and canals, it is hardly surprising that they became fascinated by the fossils, bones and man-made treasures that they happened upon.

On the Road with Your Digital Camera" outlines the facts that a beginning digital photographer needs to know in order to be successful while traveling. Rather than merely focusing on digital photography technique, this book offers in-depth coverage of topics such as planning and preparing for photography trips (researching locations, camera choice, and maneuvering through security and customs) and issues the traveling digital photographer may encounter on the trip (weather, obstructions, photo etiquette, legal restrictions and releases). Current travel photography books cover film photography and digital photography only briefly, if at all. In keeping with technological changes, this book focuses strictly on digital travel photography and addresses topics unique to this technology. It also focuses less on the art of digital travel photography and more on the practicalities of traveling with and setting up equipment.

This investigation of the dynamic intertwinement of law and morality argues that theoretical pluralism is better explained once law is accepted as an essentially ambiguous concept. The book develops a robust theory of law that increases our grasp on global legal pluralism and the dynamics of law and also emphasises the theory of legal interactionism. This helps us to understand apparent anomalies of modern law and does justice to the valuable core of truth in natural law and legal positivism.

Secession is the creation of a new independent state out of an existing state. This key volume examines the political, social and legal processes of the practice of secession. Following an analysis of secessionist movements and their role in attempts at secession, eight case studies are explored to illustrate peaceful, violent, sequential and recursive secessions. This is followed by a look at the theoretical approaches and a discussion that focuses on the economic causes. Normative theories of secession are discussed as well as the status of secession in legal theory and practice. The book systematizes our present knowledge of secessions in an accessible way to readers not familiar with the phenomenon and its consequences. It is ideal as a supplementary text to courses on contemporary political and social movements, applied ethics and political philosophy, international relations and international law, state sovereignty and state formation.

First published in 1998, this volume contains essays from leading thinkers on both sides of the Atlantic on the relationship between law and science. Science plays an ever-increasing part in the development of legislation and the adjudication of cases. Its limitations and its value are explored in these essays which discuss issues of methodology and of evidence. Amongst areas covered are silicone breast implants, the rape trauma syndrome, the environment, inventions and Bayesianism.

Examines the life and writings of James Joyce, including a biographical sketch, detailed synopses of his works, social and historical influences, and more.

The first full length scholarly work to focus on the travel ‘stunts’ that flourished in England between 1590 and the 1620s, this study shows that the phenomenon of the ‘mad voyage’ had deep and diverse roots in traditional travel practices, in courtly play and mercantile custom, and in literary culture. Parr explores the role of these exploits in a world of growing social mobility, increasing tourism, and interest in experiment.
