Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2011An Historical Atlas of Staffordshire
by A. D. M. Phillips, C. B. Phillips
Within its ancient boundaries, Staffordshire is a county of diverse and contrasting historic landscapes. World-renowned industrial complexes sit alongside agricultural systems; castles rub shoulders with urban-industrial housing; the cathedral centre of a vast diocese lies close to the birthplace of primitive Methodism; overtly planned landscapes mingle with the uplands of the Moorlands and the heathlands of Cannock Chase. These many and varied landscapes are both products and reflections of a multiplicity of histories, and students of the county have been keen to explore and relate these pasts. However, no systematic attempt has previously been made to express these accounts in spatial form. This book seeks to demonstrate by maps the various histories that contribute to the diversity of Staffordshire. With its succinct discussions and detailed map presentations of these themes, incorporating new thinking and recent research, the atlas provides an innovative and major contribution to the study of the history of Staffordshire. ;

Heimatland. Kindheit
Roman
by Edvard Hoem, Ebba D. Drolshagen, Ebba D. Drolshagen
Heimatland. Kindheit ist die Fortsetzung der sehr erfolgreichen Geschichte von Mutter und Vater. Wehmütig, nicht ohne leise Ironie gibt uns der Roman, der 1985, zwanzig Jahre vor der Geschichte, erschien, beides: zusammen mit der Schilderung einer Zeit im Umbruch ein Selbstporträt des Künstlers als Kind. »Ich wollte die Geschichte meiner eigenen inneren Entwicklung schildern, das Verhältnis zwischen Erwartung und Wirklichkeit.« Edvard, ein außerordentlich begabtes Kind – mit vier kann es lesen – wächst auf einem entlegenen Hof in einem der rückständigsten Gebiete Norwegens auf. Zwei Forderungen, zwei Wünsche zerren früh an dem Jungen: den Hof zu übernehmen und Gottes Wort zu verkündigen – wie der Vater, der neun Monate des Jahres als Prediger unterwegs ist. Am Ende des Buchs, mit vierzehn, zieht Edvard in die nächste Stadt, um aufs Gymnasium zu gehen und als erster seines Dorfs Abitur zu machen. Die Trennung vom Hof, von Heimat und Kindheit, zeichnet sich ab.

International lawAugust 2005The law of international organisations
Second edition
by Nigel D. White
This new edition considers the unifying legal attributes that span vastly differing inter-governmental organisations, from the UN to the EU. A law of international organisations has become established in certain areas, such as legal personality, powers, membership, finance, and decision-making. In other, newer, areas - accountability, responsibility and democracy - politics is still much rawer, and has not yet been fully converted into legal concepts and principles. As with the first edition, there are plenty of examples of organisations given in the text. Individual organisations dealing with issues such as security, health, civil aviation, finance and trade are scrutinised by way of example, to illustrate how different they can be, but also to show how it is possible to debate a set of legal principles that transcend each institution. This new edition of an established text will appeal to students and academics as well as individuals seeking a legal and political insight into international organisations.
