Business, Economics & LawJanuary 2009Understanding criminal law
by Stephen Buckley, Caroline Buckley
A complete understanding of criminal law is essential to pass the A2 in law, and this book provides that - for the first time linking all the elements of criminal law together to form a coherent whole. Written by two practising teachers, the book is accessible and user-friendly, featuring summary boxes and tables, clear introductions and references to key cases, as well as study skills and sample examination questions. The book provides a complete overview of criminal law and skilfully links all the elements together. It stresses the practical application of modern criminal law as it is currently used in the English judicial system and establishes the key roles of prosecution, the Crown Prosecution Service, the defence and the judiciary. It goes on to examine how the prosecution build up a case, looking in depth at the offences of murder and manslaughter and how they interrelate, and examining theft, assault and regulatory offences in detail, before looking at the role and nature of the defence. A vitally important final chapter concentrates on study skills relevant to criminal law, including note-taking, file organisation, essay and problem questions, revision strategy and the use of legal sources.

Thriller | Schau genau hin, sonst schnappt sich die Wildnis dein Kind ...
by Veronica Lando, Karen Witthuhn
Callum Haffenden hatte sich geschworen, nie wieder nach Granite Creek zurückzukehren, dorthin, wo der australische Regenwald auf ein zerklüftetes Felsenmeer trifft, The Boulders, in dem immer mal wieder Leute, oft Kinder, den Tod finden ‒ in die Tiefe gestürzt, angeblich verlockt durch ein unheimliches Flüstern. Doch dreißig Jahre nach einem Unfall, der sein Leben erschüttert hat, kehrt er wieder in seine Heimatstadt zurück, denn ein Mann ist im Regenwald verschwunden, den er für seinen Sohn hält, und als dessen Leiche bei den berüchtigten Felsbrocken auftaucht, vermutet Callum ein Verbrechen.

Biography & True StoriesNovember 2024Walking in the dark
James Baldwin, my father and I
by Douglas Field
A moving exploration of the life and work of the celebrated American writer, blending biography and memoir with literary criticism. Since James Baldwin's death in 1987, his writing - including The Fire Next Time, one of the manifestoes of the Civil Rights Movement, and Giovanni's Room, a pioneering work of gay fiction - has only grown in relevance. Douglas Field was introduced to Baldwin's essays and novels by his father, who witnessed the writer's debate with William F. Buckley at Cambridge University in 1965. In Walking in the dark, he embarks on a journey to unravel his life-long fascination and to understand why Baldwin continues to enthral us decades after his death. Tracing Baldwin's footsteps in France, the US and Switzerland, and digging into archives, Field paints an intimate portrait of the writer's life and influence. At the same time, he offers a poignant account of coming to terms with his father's Alzheimer's disease. Interweaving Baldwin's writings on family, illness, memory and place, Walking in the dark is an eloquent testament to the enduring power of great literature to illuminate our paths.
