This fifth edition of the first true textbook on the death penalty engages the reader with a full account of the arguments and issues surrounding capital punishment. The book begins with the history of the death penalty from colonial to modern times, and then examines the moral and legal arguments for and against capital punishment. It also provides an overview of major Supreme Court decisions and describes the legal process behind the death penalty. In addressing these issues, the author reviews recent developments in death penalty law and procedure, including ramifications of newer case law, such as that regarding using lethal injection as a method of execution. The author’s motivation has been to understand what motivates the "deathquest" of the American people, leading a large percentage of the public to support the death penalty. The book educates readers so that whatever their death penalty positions are, they are informed opinions.

This fourth edition of Marine Insurance Legislation is a comprehensive and fully updated annotation of the UK's Marine Insurance Act 1906, setting out the authorities on which the legislation was based and the manner in which the legislation has been construed, with cross-references to the Institute Clauses.

The legislation is heavily annotated, with the operation of each section of the Marine Insurance Act 1906 explained, and references are given to the most important of the early cases upon which the sections are based. There is also comprehensive annotation and explanation of cases decided under the sections of the 1906 Act, with cross-references to the Institute Clauses. Key developments in this fourth edition include the introduction of the new Cargo Clauses in January 2009.
