This innovative book explores the world of 3D printing from the perspective of intellectual property law, tackling theory and practice. As 3D printing digitises tangibles and equips individual users with access to design and manufacturing tools, it also raises several pressing legal and policy issues. Does the IP framework - largely designed in the analogue age - adequately regulate the operation of the technology? How should the law respond to piracy in a digital environment where copying is the norm, not the exception? What are the sharing practices, norms and views on IP within the community? Is the law actually a concern?To fully address these questions, the book begins with a contextual overview of 3D printing's history and broader socio-economic impact. It explains why the 'desktop' side of the technology is likely to be especially problematic when it comes to IP law and highlights key areas of concern. Drawing on its rich empirical data featuring world-leading experts, engineers, lawyers and users, it offers illuminating insights into the experiences and views of stakeholders before finally considering potential regulatory responses.Original and forward-looking, this book is essential reading for academics, practitioners, 3D printing users and any reader interested in the rapidly evolving field of law and technology.

An exploration of the treatment of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein in popular art and culture, this book examines adaptations in film, comics, theatre, art, video-games and more, to illuminate how the novel's myth has evolved in the two centuries since its publication. Divided into four sections, The Afterlives of Frankenstein considers the cultural dialogues Mary Shelley's novel has engaged with in specific historical moments; the extraordinary examples of how Frankenstein has suffused our cultural consciousness; and how the Frankenstein myth has become something to play with, a locus for reinvention and imaginative interpretation. In the final part, artists respond to the Frankenstein legacy today, reintroducing it into cultural circulation in ways that speak creatively to current anxieties and concerns.Bringing together popular interventions that riff off Shelley's major themes, chapters survey such works as Frankenstein in Baghdad, Bob Dylan's recent "My Own Version of You", the graphic novel series Destroyer with its Black cast of characters, Jane Louden's The Mummy!, the first Japanese translation of Frankenstein, "The New Creator", the iconic Frankenstein mask and Kenneth Brannagh's Mary Shelley's Frankenstein film. A deep-dive into the crevasses of Frankenstein adaptation and lore, this volume offers compelling new directions for scholarship surrounding the novel through dynamic critical and creative responses to Shelley's original.

This book documents the structure of religious diversity in Australia and examines this diversity in the context of the law, migration, education, policing, the media and interfaith communities.Focusing on Melbourne and Tasmania, it articulates the benefits and opportunities of diversity, alongside the challenges that confront religious and ethnic minorities, including discrimination and structural inequalities generated by Christian and otherforms of privilege. It articulates constructive strategies that are deployed, includingencouraging forms of belonging, structured ways of negotiating disagreement and respectful engagement with difference.While scholars across the West are increasingly attuned to the problems and promises of growing religious diversity in a global age, in-depth empirical research on the consequences of that diversity in Australia is lacking. This book provides a rich, well-researched, and timely intervention.

Naveed Ahmed examines the impact of structural reform strategies of International Financial Institutions(IFIs) on the rule of law, good governance and development in Pakistan. The World Bank, the IMF and other international financial institutions have a mixed track record of success in Pakistan. This book seeks to understand why this is. The book explores how these institutions have been hindered in achieving social justice as a result of being caught between weak local governance structures and the competing interests of other powers, including Europe and the USA. Ahmed goes on to demonstrate how the ethos and instruments of rule of law and good governance can help counter the internal factors that have aggravated conditions of poverty and social injustice in Pakistan.

The essays in this volume evaluate and build on Barth's theology from the perspective of Pentecostal theology and, thereby, contribute to constructive Pentecostal systematic theology by using Barth as a valuable dialogue partner. At present, a theological conversation of Pentecostals with Barth does not exist and this volume fills this void. More widely, it will aid all those who seek a convergence of the Word and the Spirit in theology. Barth and Pentecostals share some important common theological interests. Barth's mature theology has a decidedly christological emphasis. Likewise, historically, Pentecostals have often spoken of a "full gospel" with an emphasis on Christ as savior, healer, baptizer (in the Spirit), and soon-and-coming King, with some Pentecostal traditions also adding a fifth emphasis on Christ the sanctifier. Furthermore, near the end of his life, Barth anticipated "the possibility of a theology of the third article, a theology where the Holy Spirit would dominate and be decisive." The realization of Barth's dream is no doubt coming to pass in part through the development of Pentecostal theology in as much as pneumatological theology (exploring how pneumatology affects, supplements, and might reform other doctrines) is an emerging paradigm for Pentecostal theology.
