Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The Parthenon Marbles Dispute: Heritage, Law,
Book SynopsisWhy are we still arguing over the Parthenon Marbles? This book offers a fresh take on the history of those famous pieces of ancient sculpture removed from the Acropolis in Athens by Lord Elgin’s men in the early 19th century. 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. The book sets out a way forward for this famously intractable dispute, one based on evidence of past practice, legal rules around the transfer of cultural objects and the role of museums in negotiating international exchanges.Trade ReviewEssential reading for those interested in the dispute, and indeed in the wider debate around repatriation of cultural objects. -- James Morton * The Times *[An] even-handed and refreshing approach to this immensely complex dispute … An important contribution has been made to identify areas of compromise that might help resolve this long-running dispute. * Returning Heritage *Alexander Herman has written a lucid and engaging guide to the world’s longest-standing cultural dispute. Like so many of us, he hopes for its resolution, and is scrupulously fair and even-handed in explaining how this might happen. * Barnaby Phillips, author of 'Loot: Britain and the Benin Bronzes' *Anyone with an interest in world history and cultural heritage will learn a lot from reading this careful study of the world's toughest argument over art and restitution. Its approach is both rigorous and empathetic, an impressive combination. * Bruce Clark, Economist writer on history, culture and ideas, Author of 'Athens: City of Wisdom' *It is a remarkable achievement to write with such balance and authority on so fraught a question, even more impressive when so many believe they have an answer; from now on no-one should venture an opinion without reading this gripping and important analysis. * Sir Alan Moses, former Lord Justice of Appeal and co-chair of the UK's Spoliation Advisory Panel *Table of ContentsIntroduction: A Matter Yet Unresolved 1.

LexisNexis UK Property Notices: Validity and Service
Book SynopsisWhy should you buy Property Notices: Validity and Service third editionThe widely acclaimed Property Notices: Validity and Service provides the definitive account of the law relating to property notices. It contains a clear and practical guide to the legal principles governing whether a property notice is valid and whether it has been properly served. The importance of those principles for property lawyers cannot be over-stated: in the field of property law, rights are frequently exercised by the service of a notice and, for the party that has attempted to serve a notice (and perhaps its lawyers), the consequences of a finding that a notice is invalid may be disastrous.Property Notices: Validity and Service is the only work dedicated to this core area of practice and it is essential reading for all property lawyers.

Oxford University Press A Restatement of the English Law of Unjust Enrichment
Book SynopsisA Restatement of the English Law of Unjust Enrichment represents a wholly novel idea within English law. Designed to enhance understanding of the common law the Restatement comprises a set of clear succinct rules, fully explained by a supporting commentary, that sets out the law in England and Wales on unjust enrichment. Written by one of the leading authorities in the area, in collaboration with a group of senior judges, academics, and legal practitioners, the Restatement offers a powerfully persuasive statement of the law in this newly recognized and uncertain branch of English law.Many lawyers and students find unjust enrichment a particularly difficult area to master. Combining archaic terminology with an historic failure to provide a clear conceptual structure, the law remained obscure until its recent rapid development in the hands of pioneering judges and academics. The Restatement builds on the clarifications that have emerged in the case law and academic literature to present Trade ReviewThis slender and elegantly written volume makes a remarkable and valuable contribution to the literature of the English law of restitution ... The highest compliment that can be paid to a work of this kind by a reviewer is to indicate that the reviewer both enjoyed reading the volume and profited greatly from doing so. * Andrew Burrows, Canadian Business Law Journal *ROEUE is a personal, but authoritative account of the law that carries the weight of deep learning about the common law from the bottom up, but also the promise of a higher vision about matters of the laws basic structure, organization and shape... ROEUE will receive an enthusiastic reception in England and Wales. English unjust enrichment law clearly needs a strong centripetal force to stabilize views about some very basic matters; and a public platform from which to speak accessibly to the civilian world about the persistent strengths of the common law system. There is no better platform, in my view, than this. * Kit Barker, Oxford Journal of Legal Studies *Thorough and scholarly, yet eminently readable, it expounds on a particularly abstruse and therefore fascinating area of law ... This in our view is an important book of direct relevance for practitioners, academics and the judiciary alike. * Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor, Richmond Green Chambers *Table of ContentsPART ONE: A RESTATEMENT OF THE ENGLISH LAW OF UNJUST ENRICHMENT; PART TWO

Cambridge University Press Property without Rights
Book SynopsisMajor land reform programs have reallocated property in more than one-third of the world''s countries in the last century and impacted over one billion people. But only rarely have these programs granted beneficiaries complete property rights. Why is this the case, and what are the consequences? This book draws on wide-ranging original data and charts new conceptual terrain to reveal the political origins of the property rights gap. It shows that land reform programs are most often implemented by authoritarian governments who deliberately withhold property rights from beneficiaries. In so doing, governments generate coercive leverage over rural populations and exert social control. This is politically advantageous to ruling governments but it has negative development consequences: it slows economic growth, productivity, and urbanization and it exacerbates inequality. The book also examines the conditions under which subsequent governments close property rights gaps, usually as a result of democratization or foreign pressure.Trade Review'Low productivity in agriculture condemns many countries and regions to poverty. This erudite book combines history and detailed data analysis to show that low productivity is often caused by a property rights gap, created by regimes trying to cultivate large masses of peasants dependent on them. The book explains where these missing property rights in land emerge, what they imply for inequality and poverty, and how they can be overcome. This is first-rate social science that should inform modern debates on development and policy.' Daron Acemoglu, Massachusetts Institute of Technology'In this landmark study, based on more than a decade of intrepid fieldwork and imaginative analysis of the most comprehensive dataset on rural property rights ever assembled, Michael Albertus systematically unravels the great puzzle of why so many states fail to provide secure property rights over land to their citizens. This pathbreaking book convincingly exposes the political motives that lead governments to open and maintain wide gaps in property rights, and that induce democracies to close them.' Larry Diamond, Stanford University'This outstanding book makes the case for understanding why governments distribute land but not secure property rights to rural dwellers. These property rights gaps are of great consequence throughout the developing world. Yet they are poorly understood. Whereas these gaps are often attributed to misguided policy or state weakness, Albertus makes a compelling case that they are rooted in political choices, often aimed at sustaining autocracy. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the politics of rights and redistribution.' Steven Levitsky, Harvard University'Around the world millions of rural dwellers live in a state of limbo in which they receive property but few if any rights over that property. With a broad comparative perspective, this book offers a novel theory, in-depth case studies, and sophisticated empirical analyses about this important phenomenon. It is a must-read for those interested in development, political regimes, land reform and the politics of economic redistribution.' Beatriz Magaloni, Stanford University'… book's overall quality will likely make it an influential contribution to the literature of rural politics for many years. Highly recommended.' D.

Cornell University Press Lakefront
Book SynopsisHow did Chicago, a city known for commerce, come to have such a splendid public waterfrontits most treasured asset? Lakefront reveals a story of social, political, and legal conflict in which private and public rights have clashed repeatedly over time, only to produce, as a kind of miracle, a generally happy ending. Joseph D. Kearney and Thomas W. Merrill study the lakefront''s evolution from the middle of the nineteenth century to the twenty-first. Their findings have significance for understanding not only Chicago''s history but also the law''s part in determining the future of significant urban resources such as waterfronts. The Chicago lakefront is where the American public trust doctrine, holding certain public resources off limits to private development, was born. This book describes the circumstances that gave rise to the doctrine and its fluctuating importance over time, and reveals how it was resurrected in the later twentieth century to become tTrade ReviewKearney and Merrill cogently present all of the complexities, including key doctrinal debates about whether the state owned submerged lands over tidal waters or navigable-in-fact waters. The text is lively, with the authors recounting behind-the-scenes activities in the legislature and incorporating newspaper accounts. * Natural Resources & Environment *This highly readable text offers a fascinating story of what happened in courts of law, lawyers' offices, legislative and other official bodies, and offices of major corporations—as well as through the actions of public-spirited citizens—to produce and preserve this wonderful amenity.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Privatautonomie von Todes wegen: Verfassungs- und
Book SynopsisInge Kroppenberg nimmt die gestiegene Bedeutung der Testierfreiheit in der "Erbengesellschaft" zum Anlass, die dogmatischen Konturen der Gestaltungsbefugnis von Todes wegen herauszuarbeiten. 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.

Harvard University Press We the Miners
Book SynopsisThe California Gold Rush is thought to exemplify the Wild West, yet miners were expert organizers. Driven by property interests, they enacted mining codes, held criminal trials, and decided claim disputes. But democracy and law did not extend to foreigners and Indians, and miners were hesitant to yield power to the state that formed around them.Trade ReviewAndrea McDowell’s engaging study of the ensuing Gold Rush challenges Wild West stereotypes and explains how the miners who poured into California built workable forms of self-government. * Financial Times *An important law and economics study of an ‘anarchistic’ episode, going much deeper than some earlier accounts on matters involving Native Americans, fairness of trials, dispute resolution, miner-mining company interactions, and more. -- Tyler Cowen * Marginal Revolution *[This] book does admirable work unearthing overlooked dimensions of U.S. democracy and frontier law, while enriching our understanding of a storied chapter of American history. -- John Suval * Civil War Book Review *The California mining camps are legendary experiments in self-government. McDowell mines thousands of primary narratives to separate fact from fable and extracts a precise and elegant account of how the miners made laws and enforced them by means of meetings conducted by parliamentary procedure. We the Miners is expert and authoritative on details of miners’ property law and criminal law and of mining technology, and unsparingly detailed about their cruelty to outsiders like Mexicans and Native Americans. It is not likely that there will ever be a better history of the law of the Gold Rush than this one. -- Robert W. Gordon, Emeritus, Stanford Law SchoolRooted in the bold and intriguing idea that the organizational skills of California mining camps transcended the originality of their legal ideas, We the Miners is a provocative, well-argued book. McDowell goes beyond the old question of the nature of mining codes to the processes of meeting and decisionmaking in mining camps, especially in the miners’ use of American ‘parliamentary procedure as a form of governance.’ This wide-ranging, carefully researched work also explores the impact of mining codes on Native Americans and Spanish-speaking miners. Gracefully written with passion as well as fairness, it will appeal to a broad audience. -- Donald J. Pisani, author of Water, Land, and Law in the West: The Limits of Public Policy, 1850–1920

Random House USA Inc Mine
Book Synopsis“Mine” is one of the first words babies learn, and by the time we grow up, the idea of ownership seems natural, whether we are buying a cup of coffee or a house. But who controls the space behind your airplane seat: you, reclining, or the squished laptop user behind you? Why is plagiarism wrong, but it’s okay to knock off a recipe or a dress design? And after a snowstorm, why does a chair in the street hold your parking space in Chicago, while in New York you lose both the space and the chair? In Mine!, Michael Heller and James Salzman, two of the world’s leading authorities on ownership, explain these puzzles and many more. Remarkably, they reveal, there are just six simple rules that everyone uses to claim everything. Owners choose the rule that steers us to do what they want. But we can pick differently. This is true not just for airplane seats, but also for battles over digital privacy, climate change, and wealth inequality. Mine! draws on mind-bending, often infuriating, and always fascinating accounts from business, history, courtrooms, and everyday life to reveal how the rules of ownership control our lives and shape our world.

Cambridge University Press Owned
Book SynopsisIn this compelling examination of the intersection of smart technology and the law, Joshua A. T. Fairfield explains the crisis of digital ownership - how and why we no longer control our smartphones or software-enable devices, which are effectively owned by software and content companies. In two years we will not own our ''smart'' televisions which will also be used by advertisers to listen in to our living rooms. In the coming decade, if we do not take back our ownership rights, the same will be said of our self-driving cars and software-enabled homes. We risk becoming digital peasants, owned by software and advertising companies, not to mention overreaching governments. Owned should be read by anyone wanting to know more about the loss of our property rights, the implications for our privacy rights and how we can regain control of both.Trade Review'Property in the digital age is getting strange. You can own things you can't see or touch, like Bitcoins. But your ownership of things you can, like your car and your phone, has never been less secure. Owned is an essential guide to how not to get owned by the things you think you own.' James Grimmelmann, Cornell University, New York'The transition from an economy built around physical goods to one premised on the exchange of information presents profound challenges for traditional notions of personal property. Nothing less than our autonomy, security, and privacy are at stake. In Owned, Fairfield illuminates the path forward for property. He offers a powerful theoretical vision and a set of practical reforms that could help us restore control over our digital futures. Aaron Perzanowski, co-author of The End of Ownership: Personal Property in the Digital Economy'The Internet of Things presents new threats to liberty. You don't own your front door; the company running its software does. Fairfield tells us how law needs to change to protect our ancient rights of ownership over the things we buy.'
