Lion Hearts - Dan Jones - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Lion Hearts - Dan Jones - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The thrilling, unmissable follow-up to Wolves of Winter by Sunday Times bestselling historian, Dan Jones, following the fortunes of ordinary soldiers in the early years of the Hundred Years’ War. Three years after the Essex Dogs battled through the Siege of Calais, the Black Death has torn through Europe. Romford , basking in his new riches, now finds himself living as a squire in the glamorous court of King Edward III. Loveday , whose businesses have been destroyed by the plague, is desperate to avoid returning to the life he vowed to abandon: fighting. And Millstone and Thorp enlist themselves on a deadly mission to escort a princess to Castille. Each Dog has scattered in a radically different direction. But something is about to bring them back together... Praise for THE ESSEX DOGS TRILOGY '' Wolves of Winter is a horrible joy to read: horrible because of the vivid, random bloodshed, and a joy because of the easy authenticity of his prose... If you''ve ever enjoyed a Ridley Scott film, go and buy this book!'' ALICE WINN ''A book that draws you in page by page. The way Dan Jones writes enemies reminds me of Cornwell at his best, turning up tension click by click.'' CONN IGGULDEN ''This is the Hundred Years'' War as directed by Oliver Stone with a historian''s eye for detail.'' ELODIE HARPER ''Battle-bloody, brutal and perfectly pitched.'' DAILY MAIL

Casualties - Ross Ericson - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

“Being on a tightrope is living, everything else is waiting.” When Gary Maddocks rejoins Mike Evans and his Counter IED Team in Afghanistan he is pleased. He has been finding life back home with Emma dull and is impatient to get back to the job he loves, but if he had known what fate had in store for him would he have been so eager? Of course he would: it’s like an addiction, and if your luck runs out there’s nothing you can do about it, is there? But was it bad luck, faulty equipment, or something worse? Mike has been acting strange lately and Emma appears to be hiding something.When you step on a pressure plate you think you hear the click, or you think you feel it, but you don''t know for sure. And you can''t know because what you remember . . . well some of it isn''t real.Ross Ericson’s play Casualties explores how love, friendship and truth are not so certain in the context of war.

Mainstreaming Sex - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

From cyber porn to striptease culture, this trailblaising book uncovers the shockingly fascinating new ways that western society is being sexualized. We don''t realise how far the ''pornogrification'' of culture has reached - this book does and discusses it graphically but responsibly. Media interest in this subject is huge."Mainstreaming Sex" uncovers the significant impact, hitherto only half glimpsed, that striptease culture is having on our media, relationships, educational and working lives. It is a welcome and much needed book.Western culture is exhibiting its fascination with sex in new, often surprising ways. Pole dancing is a form of keep fit, porn stars find work as agony aunts, pornography itself is just ''a mouse click away'', and phone sex, email affairs and cybersex are now part of our everyday lives. This sexualization of modern culture is the subject widely discussed here.In original chapters, the contributors confront the reality that in all aspects of social and cultural life, sex is being ''mainstreamed''. They explore film, print and online pornographies; representations of masturbation in film and television, supersexualized advertising, and problem page sex.They also examine young people''s views of sex in mainstream media; women''s use of sexual media in the home; and, pole dancing as exercise and performance and third wave feminism and the sexualization debate.

Confronting Homophobia in Europe - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Confronting Homophobia in Europe - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Homophobia exists in many different forms across Europe. Member States offer uneven levels of legal protection for lesbian and gay rights; at the same time the social meanings and practices relating to homosexuality are culturally distinct and intersect in complex ways with gender, class and ethnicity in different national contexts.The essays in this volume illustrate the findings of a European project on homophobia and fundamental rights in which sociologists and legal experts have analysed the position in four Member States: Italy, Slovenia, Hungary and the UK.The first part of the book investigates the sociological dimensions of homophobia through qualitative methods involving both heterosexual and self-defined lesbian and gay respondents, including those in ethnic communities. The aim is to understand how homophobia and homosexuality are defined and experienced in the everyday life of participants.The second part is devoted to a legal analysis of how homophobia is reproduced ''in law'' and how it is confronted ''with law''. The analysis examines statute and case law; ''soft law''; administrative practices; the discussion of bills within parliamentary committees; and decisions of public authorities. Among the areas discussed are ''hate crimes'' and ''hate speech''; education at all levels; free movement, immigration and asylum; and cross-border reproductive services.Please note that this book is also available as a free PDF download.

Interregional Recognition and Enforcement of Civil and Commercial Judgments - Jie Huang - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Interregional Recognition and Enforcement of Civil and Commercial Judgments - Jie Huang - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Judgment recognition and enforcement (JRE) between the US states, between EU Member States, and between mainland China, Hong Kong and Macao, are all forms of ''interregional JRE''. This extensive comparative study of the three most important JRE regimes focuses on what lessons China can draw from the US and the EU in developing a multilateral JRE arrangement for mainland China, Hong Kong and Macao.Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macao share economic, geographical, cultural, and historical proximity to one another. The policy of ''One Country, Two Systems'' also provides a quasi-constitutional regime for the three regions. However, there is no multilateral JRE scheme among them, as there is in the US and the EU; and it is harder to recognise and enforce sister-region judgments in China than in the US and the EU. The book analyses the status quo of JRE in China and explores its insufficiencies; it proposes a multilateral JRE arrangement for Chinese regions to alleviate current JRE difficulties; and it also provides solutions for the macro and micro challenges of establishing a multilateral arrangement, drawing upon the rich literature on JRE regimes found in the US and the EU.ENDORSEMENTS''Professor Huang has completed a highly readable and comprehensive study of the issues governing recognition and enforcement of judgments among the three distinct legal regimes of the People''s Republic of China…Her ideas will surely enrich the Chinese debate as well as provide interesting scholarly material for non-Chinese seeking greater understanding of legal reform in the PRC''.Peter D Trooboff, Senior Counsel, Covington & Burling LLP, Washington DC, USA''The book shows meticulous, analytical and comparative scholarship. Dr Huang''s proposal of a multilateral arrangement makes an original and valuable contribution to the study of interregional judgment recognition and enforcement among Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macao''.Renshan Liu, Professor and Dean, Law School of Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, China ''Dr Huang''s timely work provides an insightful analysis of one of the more vexed aspects of the inter-regional legal relations in Greater China. Her careful investigation makes a valuable contribution to the academic and practical work on the recognition and enforcement of judgments between China and her two special administrative regions. The comparative approach she adopts represents the true utility of comparativism for legal scholarship''.Bing Ling, Professor of Chinese Law, Sydney Law School, AustraliaPREFACE AND FOREWORDPlease click on the link below to read the preface and foreword:www.hartpub.co.uk/Huang_Preface_Foreword.pdfThe book won the First Prize for Excellent Scholarship awarded by the China Society of Private International Law in 2015.
