Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The Book of Trespass: Crossing the Lines that
Book SynopsisTHE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER SHORTLISTED FOR THE CWA GOLD DAGGER FOR NON-FICTION 2021 SHORTLISTED FOR THE INDIE BOOK AWARD FOR NON-FICTION 2022 ‘Brilliant, passionate and political . . . The Book of Trespass will make you see landscapes differently' Robert Macfarlane 'A remarkable and truly radical work, loaded with resonant truths' George Monbiot The vast majority of our country is entirely unknown to us because we are banned from setting foot on it. By law of trespass, we are excluded from 92 per cent of the land and 97 per cent of its waterways, blocked by walls whose legitimacy is rarely questioned. But behind them lies a story of enclosure, exploitation and dispossession of public rights whose effects last to this day. The Book of Trespass takes us on a journey over the walls of England, into the thousands of square miles of rivers, woodland, lakes and meadows that are blocked from public access. By trespassing the land of the media magnates, Lords, politicians and private corporations that own England, Nick Hayes argues that the root of social inequality is the uneven distribution of land. Weaving together the stories of poachers, vagabonds, gypsies, witches, hippies, ravers, ramblers, migrants and protestors, and charting acts of civil disobedience that challenge orthodox power at its heart, The Book of Trespass will transform the way you see the land. --------------- A GUARDIAN, i AND SPECTATOR BOOK OF THE YEARTrade ReviewWhat a brilliant, passionate and political book this is, by a young writer-walker-activist who is also a dazzlingly gifted artist. It tells - through story, exploration, evocation - the history of trespass (and therefore of freedom) in Britain and beyond, while also making a powerful case for future change. It is bold and brave, as well as beautiful; Hayes's voice is warm, funny, smart and inspiring. The Book of Trespass will make you see landscapes differently -- Robert MacfarlaneSeeks to challenge and expose the mesmerising power that landownership exerts on this country, and to show how we can challenge its presumptions . . . The Book of Trespass is massively researched but lightly delivered, a remarkable and truly radical work, loaded with resonant truths and stunningly illustrated by the author -- George Monbiot * Guardian *A powerful new narrative about the vexed issue of land rights . . . Hayes [is] practically a professional trespasser these days, no sign too forbidding to be ignored, no fence too high to be climed . . . The Book of Trespass is [Hayes’s] first non-graphic book – though the text is punctuated by his marvellous illustations, linocuts that bring to mind the Erics, Gill and Ravilious – and in it, he weaves several centuries of English history together with the stories of gypsies, witches, ramblers, migrants and campaigners, as well as his own adventures. Its sweep is vast * Observer *Brilliantly argued, The Book of Trespass explores with clarity and courage an ancient problem in radically new ways . . . Hayes unearths the psychological preconditions that empower and legitimise these monumental inequalities -- Mark Cocker * New Statesman *Exhilarating . . . A gorgeously written, deeply researched and merrily provocative tour of English landscape, history and culture -- Boyd Tonkin * Arts Desk *Hayes is an alert, inquisitive observer . . . He works also in the tradition of nature writers like Robert Macfarlane … This sensibility gives him a poetic sense of the different ways that we might use and share the land to the benefit of all . . . Beyond its demand for specific, concrete changes to the law on what land we may step onto and for what purposes, this book is a call for a re-enchantment of the culture of nature * Tribune Magazine *Hayes is practised at pushing through overgrown thickets of law to uncover hidden structures of power and privilege. His book’s historical range stretches across centuries . . . The Book of Trespass is incisive, impassioned and beautifully written * Times Literary Supplement *A trespasser’s radical manifesto . . . A book dedicated to demolishing boundaries of all kinds . . . Each chapter includes a double-page black-and-white landscape, rendered with a thrilling air of motion and immediacy . . . Hayes has picked apart the meaning of “trespass” and brilliantly redefined it as an act of solidarity * Guardian *A stirring appeal for us to freely access the land closed off to the public . . . By trespassing on the land, Hayes takes us on a roller-coaster ride through history . . . His book is an example of nature writing at its best but it has real political bite … [A book] to relish and learn from * Morning Star *

Cranthorpe Millner Publishers An Inquiry Into Innocence
Book Synopsis"The judge described my crime as 'the most heinous' he had seen in his career on the bench. I wanted to shout, cry out and protest my innocence as my sentence was handed down. But honestly, I couldn't." Convicted of a crime he has no memory of committing, Eli Kelly is serving a life sentence in Stoutbliss Prison. After seven years as an inmate, Eli is resigned to his fate, but when a solicitor is sent to Stoutbliss as part of a government scheme to investigate potential miscarriages of justice, he finds himself contemplating a future beyond his prison cell. Working with a psychiatrist, Eli revisits his traumatic past, and as they delve deeper into his memories, Eli realises that, regardless of his guilt or innocence, he is yet another victim whose cries for help were ignored by the very services supposed to keep him safe. Will Eli finally remember what happened on that fateful night? Is he guilty? Or innocent? And given the circumstances, does it matter?Trade Review'A brutal and unforgiving system elegantly portrayed. With a hint of Selby, Cogley gives us sympathy and understanding of a prisoner's plight, capturing the essence of guilt and innocence, as ambiguity flows in and out of consciousness and into the sea of redemption.' - Simon Marlowe, author of 'The Dead Hand of Dominique' and 'Medusa and The Devil'

Brown Dog Books THE INVISIBLE PARENT: The Dark Art of Parental
Book SynopsisWhat happens when the very same system designed to protect children fails? That’s exactly what is happening right now in the UK family courts in cases of Parental Alienation, a form of post-divorce abuse. Cafcass define Parental Alienation as ‘when a child’s resistance or hostility towards one parent is not justified and is the result of psychological manipulation by the other parent’; yet experts, therapists and social workers are not trained to assess or deal with cases involving Parental Alienation. I spent years making my case to judges, experts and lawyers, all of whom failed to agree on what was actually happening between my ex-wife, my kids and myself. At the time it seemed like I was constantly trying to prove a negative, to find a new direction to reach my kids, and while all were promising, all ended in expensive dead ends as my ex-wife pursued her agenda. If I had to sum up the experience of trying to prove Parental Alienation in the courts, I would describe it as being trapped in the backseat of a car while it crashes in slow motion. The system is not fit for purpose. The family courts are slow and busy, burdened by the backlog of cases. Once you do get a hearing, they are often set months away and even then, traditional safeguarding assessments fail to detect Parental Alienation. The longer the child is away from a parent, the harder it is to stop the alienation, and the longer the issue remains unaddressed, the risk of the children suffering mental health and behavioural problems increases. Alienated parents also often display signs of post-traumatic stress: paranoia, anxiety and in some cases are suicidal. It is my hope that this book will not only draw attention to the potential injustice in cases of Parental Alienation and the need for meaningful reform to prevent further irreparable damage, but that it will help a parent going through a family separation spot signs before it’s too late. About the author: The author is a successful businessman, loving father and victim of parental alienation. The author has used a ghost writer to validate his story. The characters have been anonymised to both protect their privacy and lift the veil on the inner workings of the family court, which the author believes is in the public interest of protecting children from harm.

Biteback Publishing Unfair Game: An expose of South Africa's
Book SynopsisIn April 2019 Lord Ashcroft published the results of his year-long investigation into South Africa's captive-bred lion industry. Over eleven pages of a single edition of the Mail on Sunday he showed why this sickening trade, which involves appalling cruelty to the 'King of the Savannah' from birth to death, has become a stain on the country. Unfair Game, to be published in June 2020, features the shocking results of a new inquiry Lord Ashcroft has conducted into South Africa's lion business. In the book, he shows how tourists are unwittingly being used to support the abuse of lions; he details how lions are being tranquilised and then hunted in enclosed spaces; he urges the British government to ban the import of captive-bred lion trophies; and he demonstrates why Asia's insatiable appetite for lion bones has become a multimillion-dollar business linked to criminality and corruption, which now underpins South Africa's captive lion industry.

Scribe Publications Pride and Prejudices
Book SynopsisInternationally acclaimed human rights lawyer Keio Yoshida uncovers the ongoing battle for LGBTQ+ rights, how far we've come, and how much further we have to go. The right to life and the right to live life free from discrimination are rights that are codified and legally protected, but unlike those on women's rights, disability rights, children's rights, freedom from torture, and racial discrimination there is no dedicated and binding treaty or convention in international human rights law with respect to LGBTQ+ rights. In Pride and Prejudices, Yoshida analyses case law from around the world, including Rosanna Flamer Caldera v Sri Lanka, the first global precedent to call for the decriminalisation of same-sex intimacy between women, in which Yoshida acted as counsel, as well as other timely cases such as the bitter debate over self-ID for trans people in the UK and Florida's recent Don't Say Gay' bill. This pivotal book addresses the legal problems that still persist and contribute to the violence and discrimination that the international LGBTQ+ population experiences on a daily basis, and demonstrates what more needs to be done to protect LGBTQ+ communities.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Criminal and Quasi-criminal Enforcement
Book SynopsisThis book looks at the interplay between criminal and other branches of public law pursuing similar objectives (referred to as ‘quasi-criminal law’). The need for clarifying the concepts and the interlink between criminal and quasi-criminal enforcement is a topic attracting a lot of discussion and debate both in academia and practice across Europe (and beyond). This volume adds to this debate by bringing to light the substantive and procedural problems stemming from the current parallel or dual use of the different enforcement systems. The collection draws on expertise from academia, practice and policy; its high-quality analysis will appeal to scholars, practitioners and policymakers alike.Table of ContentsIntroduction: Criminal versus Quasi-criminal Enforcement – Setting the Scene Vanessa Franssen, University of Liège, Belgium and Christopher Harding, Aberystwyth University, UK PART I THE ORIGINS OF QUASI-CRIMINAL ENFORCEMENT MECHANISMS: A COMPARATIVE JOURNEY THROUGH EUROPE 1.

Icon Books To Catch a Spy
Book SynopsisThe Spycatcher affair remains one of the most intriguing moments in the history of British intelligence and a pivotal point in the public''s relationship with the murky world of espionage and security. It lifted the lid on alleged Soviet infiltration of British services and revealed a culture of law-breaking, bugging and burgling. But how much do we know about the story behind the scandal?In To Catch a Spy, Tim Tate reveals the astonishing true story of the British government''s attempts to silence whistleblower Peter Wright and hide the truth about Britain''s intelligence services and political elites. It''s a story of state-sanctioned cover-up plots; of the government lying to Parliament and courts around the world; and of stories leaked with the intention to mislead and deceive.This is a tale of high treason and low farce. Drawing on thousands of pages of previously unpublished court transcripts, the contents of secret British government files, and original interviews with many of the key players in the Spycatcher trials, it draws back the curtain on a hidden world. A world where spies, politicians and Britain''s most senior civil servants conspired to ride roughshod over the law, prevented the public from hearing about their actions and mounted a cynical conspiracy to deceive the world. It is the story of Peter Wright''s ruthless and often lawless obsession to uncover Russian spies, both real and imagined, his belated determination to reveal the truth and the lengths to which the British government would go to silence him.

Biteback Publishing Nobody's Child: A Tragedy, a Trial, and a History
Book SynopsisA three-year-old boy dies, having apparently fallen while trying to reach a bag of sugar on a high shelf. His grandmother stands accused of second-degree murder. Psychologist Susan Nordin Vinocour agrees to evaluate the defendant, to determine whether the impoverished and mentally ill woman is competent to stand trial. Vinocour soon finds herself pulled headlong into a series of difficult questions, beginning with: was the defendant legally insane on the night in question? As she wades deeper into the story, Vinocour traces the legal definition of insanity back nearly two hundred years, when our understanding of the human mind was in its infancy. "Competency" and "insanity", she explains, are creatures of legal definition, not psychiatric reality, and in criminal law, "insanity" has become a luxury of the rich and white. With passion, clarity, and heart, Vinocour examines the troubling intersection of mental health issues and the law.Trade Review"A chilling book … unquestionably a page-turner, and revealing the ending would be a spoiler … A satisfying courtroom drama that hits the sweet spot between good storytelling and sharp legal analysis.” – Kirkus

Chelsea Green Publishing Co The Invisible Rainbow: A History of Electricity
Book Synopsis‘This seminal book...will transform your understanding ...of the environmental and health effects of electricity and radio frequencies’ Paradigm Explorer ‘Firstenberg is a pioneer in the sense that Rachel Carson was a pioneer.’ Chellis Glendinning, PhD, author of When Technology Wounds 75,000 copies sold! Cell towers, Wi-fi, 5G: Electricity has shaped the modern world. But how has it affected our health and environment? Over the last 220 years, society has evolved a universal belief that electricity is ‘safe’ for humanity and the planet. Scientist and journalist Arthur Firstenberg disrupts this conviction by telling the story of electricity in a way it has never been told before – from an environmental point of view – by detailing the effects that this fundamental societal building block has had on our health and our planet. In The Invisible Rainbow, Firstenberg traces the history of electricity from the early eighteenth century to the present, making a compelling case that many environmental problems, as well as the major diseases of industrialised civilisation—heart disease, diabetes, and cancer—are related to electrical pollution.Trade Review“Few individuals today are able to grasp the entirety of a scientific subject and present it in a highly engaging manner, in plain English, without losing any of the details. In The Invisible Rainbow, Firstenberg has done just that with one of the most pressing but neglected problems of our technological age. This book, which as a medical doctor I found hard to put down, explores the relationship between electricity and life from beginning to end: from the early eighteenth century to today, and from the point of view of the physician, the physicist, and the average person in the street. Firstenberg makes a compelling case that the major diseases of civilization—heart disease, diabetes, and cancer—are in large part related to the pollution of our world by electricity.”—Bradley Johnson, MD, Amen Clinic, San Francisco“The Invisible Rainbow is wonderful. Firstenberg has done his research thoroughly. His book is easily readable and provocative while being entertaining. A remarkable contribution.”—David O. Carpenter, MD, director, Institute for Health and the Environment, School of Public Health, State University of New York at Albany“I found it to be a mystery unfolding and could not put it down. It shines a new light on diseases that come from electrical development, and addresses current environmental crises that only a few yet realize are the consequence of electrosmog. This book is very, very important.”—Sandy Ross, PhD, president, Health and Habitat, Inc.“I was stunned by this book. It is an extremely valuable document about an increasingly widespread environmental health risk to which we are all exposed. I am overwhelmed with admiration for what Firstenberg has accomplished.”—William E. Morton, MD, DrPH, professor emeritus, Oregon Health Sciences University“Firstenberg is a pioneer in the sense that Rachel Carson was a pioneer.”—Chellis Glendinning, PhD, author of When Technology Wounds

Goodfellow Publishers Limited Getting Started in Business Law
Book Synopsis• An accessible and concise resource that introduces non-specialist students to the key concepts and principles of business law, providing a non-technical alternative to the currently available heavyweight texts • To increase engagement and understanding, the examples used throughout the book are drawn from scenarios that are familiar to students in their everyday life • The author has extensive experience of teaching large cohorts of non-specialist students, many of whom are from overseas. Intended as an accessible, concise and inexpensive alternative to currently available textbooks, Getting Started in Business Law by Paul Bates covers the core topics taught at first year undergraduate level to non-specialists taking a business law module as part of their undergraduate studies. While still providing the student with a rigorous and academic treatment of the topic, this book will weave a path through key concepts of business law exposing the main principles step by step, while keeping the use of case law to a minimum as single cases will be used to explain a number of key points. The examples used throughout the text will be familiar to the student in their everyday lives, helping to keep the student engaged and aid their understanding of the principles and concepts being presented. Particular attention will be paid to using language which is accessible, and presenting concepts in a style which is undaunting, while still rigorous, and at times light-hearted. The author has extensive experience of teaching large cohorts of business, accountancy and finance undergraduate students, many of whom are from overseas. This experience is brought to bear to deliver an engaging and accessible resource, offering an alternative to the heavyweight texts which are currently available.Table of ContentsCh 1 What you need to know before you start; Fundamental rules; Terminology (Jargon); Ch 2 Sources of law: Where does law come from?; Acts of Parliament – Legislation – Statute Law; Delegated legislation; Case law (judge made law); Some useful terminology; The Law Reports; Objective and subjective tests; Common Law; The Law of Equity; Ch 3 The law of contract: Contractual ‘ingredients’; Background; Offer; Carlill v The Carbolic Smoke Ball Company (1893); Ch 4 The law of contract: Contracts in practice; Terms; The contents of contracts; Duress and undue influence; Privity of contract; How contracts come to an end; Electronic commerce and the law of contract; Ch 5 The law of tort; How the law of tort affects you and your business; The basic principles; The tort of negligence; Economic loss and ‘pure’ economic loss; An occupier’s liability for premises; Ch 6 Types of business; Self-employment/sole traders; Incorporation; Partnerships; Ch 7 Outline of the English and Welsh system of courts; Civil and criminal courts and the tribunal system; The Supreme Court; The Court of Appeal; The High Court of Justice; The Magistrates’ Courts; Overview of the tribunal system; Ch 8 Employment law; Section 1: Contracts of employment; Vicarious liability in workplace situations; Section 2: The main rights of an employee; Ch 9 Corporate governance; Failures of corporate governance; Ch 10 Cases and Acts; List of cases used; List of Acts of Parliament and Regulations; Index

Transworld Publishers Ltd Rough Justice
Book SynopsisDo we have the law we deserve?Has justice improved for the victim, the accused and society?What even is justice?Joseph is a natural storyteller.. but what makes it stand out is her point of view.' The Times''A compelling read'' Lady HaleA more cerebral version of Kavanagh QC with sensitivity, suspense and an easy style. New Statesman''Beautifully written, immensely engaging, powerful and disturbing insight into a judge's work and the choices faced.'' Peter JamesIf ever I was on trial I would want my judge to be this one.' Cherie Blair, CBE KCHot on the heels of her Sunday Times bestseller Unlawful Killings, Her Honour Wendy Joseph KC skilfully reconstructs four courtroom dramas, drawing on her many years' experience as a murder judge to ask whether our justice system works, and if it has improved over the centuries. Have we got any better at delivering what is right and fair to both the perpetrators and the victims of society's most heinous crimes?From the trial of a child charged with disposing of dismembered body parts, to the woman accused of killing her own husband, Joseph is utterly compelling as she sets out how the system works. But, as she compares these modern courtroom tales with eerily similar cases and miscarriages of justice from years ago, might the most chilling story of all be that the lessons of the past have yet to be learned?Incisive, masterfully crafted, Rough Justice illuminates the struggles of any one of us caught up in our legal system but particularly the marginalized and the easily exploited and grapples with the concept of justice for all' so that we might demand better.The author''s wit and wisdom deserve as wide an audience as possible.' His Honour David RadfordAn author who uses hindsight to contemplate foresight whilst generating genuine insight.' Professor Dame Sue Black''The criminal law has found its voice: quiet, determined, steely, and yet always humane.'

Sunday Times''A gripping insight ... beautifully crafted ... grim tales lifted by humour and honesty.'' The Times''Her writing is characterized by analytical precision, but it is also a book of great empathy and urgency... A fine book.'''' TLS''A very rare gem. written with authority, humility and compassion. Compellingly clever and sharply honest.'' PROFESSOR DAME SUE BLACK, author of ALL THAT REMAINS''Riveting, thought-provoking, and very, very entertaining. I loved it.'' RODDY DOYLE''Will make you question all the fundamentals that you''ve come to take for granted about offenders, the crimes that they commit - especially murder - and the punishment they deserve. A page turner that will leave you wanting to know more.'' EMERITUS PROFESSOR DAVID WILSON, author of MY LIFE WITH MURDERERS
