It explains how they became the cause célèbre of the larger debates around cultural heritage and restitution now taking place. The subject is one that is currently embroiling museums, governments, universities and the public at large.   Herman provides a balanced, thorough and critical account of the history of the Marbles, while considering the legalities of their initial removal and the ethics of their retention by the British Museum. It incorporates the views of curators, museum directors, lawyers, archaeologists, politicians and others in both London and Athens. It explains why this particular dispute has not been satisfactorily resolved, and suggests new ways of seeking resolution – for the Parthenon Marbles and for the many other cultural treasures held in museum collections outside their countries of origin.

to property understood in the comprehensive sense as the right that included every other right played in the American founding. This right was understood by the founders as the “pursuit of happiness,” which Edward J. Erler argues was considered to be both a natural right and a moral obligation. This book examines the works of John Locke, the English philosopher who had a profound influence on the American founding.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the past forty years, Professor Edward Erler, has produced some of the finest legal commentary on constitutional law. He remains, perhaps, the most original, insightful, and provocative scholar of the American Constitution.  His new book, Property and the Pursuit of Happiness; Locke, The Declaration of Independence, Madison and the Challenge of the Administrative State, shows why this is so.  His insight into the Constitution is informed not merely by an understanding of the law, the judiciary, or the Constitution, but by an understanding of the theoretical and political conditions required in the defense of freedom and self-government.  In elaborating the importance of property, as essential to the protection of rights, he reveals the absolute necessity of limited government constitutionalism as indispensable for the preservation of both. -- John Marini, University of Nevada, Reno\u003cbr\u003eEdward Erler has written the most remarkable book by any student of Harry Jaffa, which also means most likely by any student of Leo Strauss. Property and the Pursuit of Happiness explores the political and the philosophic meaning of both its key terms in America. He transcends dichotomies such as “ancients and moderns” to present the abiding heart of America’s logos in its ousia. Erler’s treatise smashes lame scholarship and noxious doctrines about Aristotle, Locke, Madison, Jefferson, Lincoln, the Supreme Court, Reconstruction, and the administrative state, and against them restores the principles of the West in the theological-political problem. Every serious citizen and scholar must come to terms with this profound and spirited examination of American politics. -- Ken Masugi, Center for Advanced Governmental Studies, Johns Hopkins University\u003cbr\u003e“What was unique about the American Revolution,” Ed Erler contends, “was that for the first time in history, a nation was founded dedicated to a universal principle—the principle that `all men are created equal.’” What is unique about Ed Erlers’s penetrating book is that it takes the Declaration’s truths seriously and elucidates how they provide the grounds for the Founders’ constitutionalism. Exploring some of political philosophy’s deepest themes—including natural rights, natural law, and the relationship between reason and revelation—Erler explains how the Founders held the protection of property rights to be the central idea animating their design for limited government and why its abandonment by influential 20th century progressives poses an existential threat to liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all Americans today. -- Vincent Munoz, Associate Professor of Political Science at University of Notre Dame","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886218457431,"sku":"9781538130865","price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781538130865.jpg?v=1722539252"},{"product_id":"public-lands-use-misuse-9781600213526","title":"Public Lands: Use \u0026 Misuse","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886593061207,"sku":"9781600213526","price":103.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781600213526.jpg?v=1722540772"},{"product_id":"mortgages-fundamentals-issues-perspectives-9781600219184","title":"Mortgages: Fundamentals, Issues \u0026 Perspectives","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA mortgage represents a loan or lien on a property\/house that has to be paid over a specified period of time.

Ihre Untersuchung trägt in dreierlei Hinsicht zu einem neuen Verständnis bei: erstens, indem sie die Testierfreiheit als zivilrechtliches Prinzip vor einer zu stark verfassungsrechtlich geprägten Anschauung in Schutz nimmt. Die Gestaltungsbefugnis von Todes wegen wird in der verfassungsgerichtlichen Rechtsprechung als Verfügungsbefugnis über den Tod hinaus beschrieben. Damit erscheint sie als Fortsetzung des Rechts der Lebenden mit anderen rechtsgeschäftlichen Mitteln und wird zudem mit der Vorstellung eines \"Leistungseigentums\" verknüpft. Es zeigt sich des Weiteren, dass an die Gestaltungsbefugnis von Todes wegen Strukturmerkmale heran getragen werden, die aus dem Recht der Lebenden stammen, im Erbrecht aber Fremdkörper sind. Das gilt zum einen für den erbrechtlichen Typenzwang, der in Anlehnung an den sachenrechtlichen konzipiert wird. Es gilt aber vor allem für die Anleihen, die beim lebzeitigen Vertragsparadigma gemacht werden und die diachrone Struktur des erbrechtlichen Rechtsgeschäfts außer Acht lassen.Drittens ist es der Autorin um ein genuin rechtsgeschäftliches Verständnis der Testierfreiheit zu tun. Das klingt selbstverständlich, ist es aber nicht. So behaupten familienerbrechtliche Deutungen der Gestaltungsbefugnis von Todes wegen einen Leitbildcharakter der gesetzlichen für die rechtsgeschäftliche Erbfolge. Ihre Interpretation als besonderes Persönlichkeitsrecht des Erblassers zur Todesverarbeitung verengt schließlich den privatrechtlichen Freiheitsraum von Todes wegen inhaltlich auf eine Reflexion über Mortalität.","brand":"JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48889062490455,"sku":"9783161491900","price":110.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783161491900.jpg?v=1722552506"},{"product_id":"art-and-law-a-comprehensive-guide-to-south-african-art-law-9783643916471","title":"Art and Law  A Comprehensive Guide to South","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis handbook aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the multi-faceted art law within the legal framework applicable to South Africa.

City of New London and","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 2005, the Supreme Court ruled that the city of New London, Connecticut, could condemn fifteen residential properties in order to transfer them to a new private owner. Although the Fifth Amendment only permits the taking of private property for public use, the Court ruled that the transfer of condemned land to private parties for economic development is permitted by the Constitution even if the government cannot prove that the expected development will ever actually happen. The Court's decision in Kelo v. City of New London empowered the grasping hand of the state at the expense of the invisible hand of the market. In this detailed study of one of the most controversial Supreme Court cases in modern times, Ilya Somin argues that Kelo was a grave error. Economic development and blight condemnations are unconstitutional under both originalist and most living constitution theories of legal interpretation. They also victimize the poor and the politically weak for the benefit of powerful interest groups and often destroy more economic value than they create. Kelo itself exemplifies these patterns.   The residents targeted for condemnation lacked the influence needed to combat the formidable government and corporate interests arrayed against them.  Moreover, the city's poorly conceived development plan ultimately failed: the condemned land lies empty to this day, occupied only by feral cats. The Supreme Court's unpopular ruling triggered an unprecedented political reaction, with forty-five states passing new laws intended to limit the use of eminent domain. But many of the new laws impose few or no genuine constraints on takings. The Kelo backlash led to significant progress, but not nearly as much as it may have seemed.  Despite its outcome, the closely divided 5-4 ruling shattered what many believed to be a consensus that virtually any condemnation qualifies as a public use under the Fifth Amendment. It also showed that there is widespread public opposition to eminent domain abuse. With controversy over takings sure to continue, The Grasping Hand offers the first book-length analysis of Kelo by a legal scholar, alongside a broader history of the dispute over public use and eminent domain and an evaluation of options for reform.","brand":"The University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49400016372055,"sku":"9780226422169","price":19.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780226422169.jpg?v=1730469453"},{"product_id":"building-a-revolutionary-state-the-legal-transformation-of-new-york-17761783-american-beginnings-15001900-9780226544014","title":"Building a Revolutionary State The Legal","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow does a state function during the collapse of institutions that revolutions bring?

There are ancient and fundamental issues such as making and analyzing measurements and conducting research for boundary location. There are business issues such as new developments in software and equipment. Lastly, there are practice issues related to governmental agencies such as local land development regulations or state wetlands rules. Good training is available on all of these topics. But there is one subject in the business of land surveying that receives much press, in this magazine and others, that for which one can find little, if any training-that is, testifying in court, and the related workings of courts.  \u003cp\u003eSurveyors on the Witness Stand\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eI go to court several times a year to testify either on civil matters concerning my employer's interests in land, or regarding the location of criminal matters that may have occurred in the city. I was not aware that testifying in court was included in the job description of a surveyor. The subject was never mentioned during the interview. I was greatly surprised (and ill-prepared) when I received the first in a long list of subpoenas. In order to prepare for my first time on the witness stand, I called some friends who regularly testify as part of their practices. They told me not to panic, to be thoroughly familiar with my work, and to just answer the lawyer's questions. I called the lawyer who subpoenaed me and heard roughly the same words. I took their advice and my part in the trial was over quickly, but I knew I displayed nervousness out of all proportion to the small part I played. I wished I had some training on the subject; I wish I had read John Briscoe's book.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSurveying the Courtroom was written with two primary objectives in mind. First, to give the reader an acquaintance with courtroom rules and procedures for handling evidence, and the second, to show and explain how well \"engineered\" the legal process is for determining facts and resolutions. The author is a California attorney who seems to sincerely enjoy his work. He writes with enthusiasm and wit and displays open admiration for the capability of legal proceedings to find and solve problems. His examples are well-chosen and the sometimes humorous quotes he includes from literary figures and famous jurists keep the presentation of the technical material lively. The book may have come to your attention in the past. It was originally published by Landmark Enterprises back in the 1980s and was regarded then as a book specific to California. The author tells us in the current edition that due to a wider adoption of federal rules of evidence by more states, the book is now applicable in 40 of the 50 states. The states that do not adhere to the rules and procedures described in the book are Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Kansas, Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey, and Virginia. Even though I reside and practice in one of the states that does not use federal rules, I found the book to be nonetheless useful and enlightening.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTwo Main Sections\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSurveying the Courtroom is divided into two main sections. The first is on the rules of evidence and the second is on the procedures of civil cases. The section on rules of evidence contains chapters on relevance, documentary evidence, hearsay, personal knowledge, proof, presumptions, privileges, judicial notice, and opinions. The section on civil trials has chapters on pleadings and motions, discovery, trial, and post trial proceedings. It also has appendices on depositions and certification of documents. This is an immense amount of material to be contained in a mere 200 pages. However, the author states clearly that his goal is to have surveyors become more acquainted with the courtroom, not to become experts on it. Most of us would be satisfied with just a simple understanding of the activity taking place around us. It is the general explanation of how courts and lawyers operate that makes this book so appealing to me. Its specifics may not apply to my state but the generalities do. After reading it I have a better idea of what is happening and why, and I can ask more informed questions of the lawyers on \"my side.\" After all, I know how the city council does its business and I understand the role of various boards and commissions in land development work. Why shouldn't I have the same level of appreciation of the workings of the court? I think most licensed surveyors will find this to be a useful book to have around the office. --\u003ci\u003eProfessional Surveyor Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e, May 2001 Volume 21, Number 5 (Patrick Toscano is the City Surveyor for New Britain, Connecticut, and the Book Review Editor for the magazine)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE RULES OF EVIDENCE.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Relevance.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Documentary Evidence.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Rule Against Hearsay, or, Perhaps, the Rules PermittingHearsay.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Rule Requiring Personal Knowledge.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Of Proof and Other Burdens.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Presumptions.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Privileges: Must the President's Wife Tesify Also?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e How to Prove the Earth Is Round: The Notion of JudicialNotice.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Opinion Rule and Expert Testimony.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e THE PROCEDURE OF A CIVIL CASE.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Pleading and Motion Stages.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Age of Discovery.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Trial.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Post-Trial Proceedings in the Trial and Appellate Courts.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Appendices.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Table of Cases.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Postscript.","brand":"John Wiley \u0026 Sons Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49402563199319,"sku":"9780471318408","price":75.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780471318408.jpg?v=1730480764"},{"product_id":"water-boundaries-9780471403913","title":"Water Boundaries","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA unique, practical guide to watercourse law\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This comprehensive guide offers complete, readable explanations of the legal issues and evidence procedures related to the location of the property boundaries of lands adjacent to watercourses.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Beginning with a clear examination of the basics of land title and the legal principles defining property boundary movement, it discusses property boundary determination for a broad range of different watercourse environments-including open ocean coast, estuarine areas, tidal rivers, non-tidal rivers and navigable streams, and navigable lakes.

Pravilova has identified the crucial nexus between law, property, and change, providing a vivid snapshot of where Imperial Russia stood on the eve of revolution.\"\u003cb\u003e---William E.
