This seminal book develops a new perspective on the debate concerning the Europeanisation of private law. The theory is both realistic, building on existing experience, and normative as it focuses on the future. It outlines 'good' Europeanisation in which legal sources can be used across borders; hence the free movement of legal ideas. At its core, is the analysis of the legal consequences of growing societal uncertainty and increasing use of micro-politics, leading to a situation where the law develops through small narratives rather than according to a coherent master plan. The inevitable rule of law concerns around such a development, have to be addressed by transparent legal reasoning. The author masterfully illustrates how this can be achieved in decision-making across Europe, drawing on arguments which are both substantive and authoritative in nature. He shows how all legal actors, including decision-makers and scholars, are morally responsible for the choices made.This is a fascinating intervention in the field of European private law by one of its leading authorities.

This book explores the High Court's powers under its inherent jurisdiction and wardship to make orders in relation to children and vulnerable adults.The book introduces the inherent jurisdiction and investigates its place in the modern law. Part 1 provides a comprehensive history of the inherent jurisdiction and gives a detailed account of the core principles applicable today. By offering comparison with Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and Scotland, the book illustrates the different approaches of other common law jurisdictions. Part 2 considers the inherent jurisdiction in practice, addressing the procedure of the court and the approach to specific categories of case. The book provides detailed analysis of the use of the inherent jurisdiction to respond to child abduction, medical decision-making about children, child protection outside the statutory scheme (including secure accommodation and radicalisation cases), and the protection of vulnerable adults. Despite its ancient roots, the inherent jurisdiction is relied on by High Court judges on a daily basis, used in both everyday and cutting-edge cases. To what extent is this justified? This book explores these diverse powers and asks critical questions about the use of the inherent jurisdiction.Through its critical examination of the modern use of wardship and the inherent jurisdiction, the book is essential reading for practitioners and researchers working in this field.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE EDWARD STANFORD TRAVEL BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024'Deeply poetic.' CAROLINE LUCAS MP'A masterpiece of storytelling.' NICK MAYHEW-SMITH'Mary Colwell is a candle of open-minded curiosity.' PATRICK LAURIE-Mary Colwell makes a solo pilgrimage along the Camino Francés winding through forests, mountains, farmland, industrial sprawls and places of worship. Pilgrims have always walked in times of upheaval, pitching themselves against weather, hunger, thirst and sometimes pain as they tread the paths their ancestors once followed. In the winter of 2020, author, nature campaigner and veteran solo walker Mary Colwell walked a 500-mile pilgrimage along the Camino Francés in northern Spain. In a typical year, many thousands of people walk this route, but Mary had it virtually to herself at a unique historical moment - a time of profound political change, escalating climate and biodiversity emergencies and global pandemic. The modern world weaves in and out of the Camino's worn trackway, providing a focus for contemplation and a place for memories and experiences to gather. In her delightful book, Mary weaves experiences from her solo winter pilgrimage with stories from a walk millions have undertaken over the centuries. Her thoughtful and, at times, humorous journey of body and soul includes moments of intense spirituality, meetings with a demon slayer, strange goings-on and magical tales, and Mary's exquisite descriptions of the constant backdrop of nature in all its complexity and wonder.

This book focuses on student voice and classroom practice: how students are consulted on classroom practice; the negative consequences of these consultations; the capacity of students to judge teaching; and the potential for students to be consulted on teacher performance. The book reports on qualitative data generated through interviews with 101 participants from seven schools - staff members from classroom teachers to school principals, and students. It maps out the variety of ways that students are now being consulted in relation to classroom practice in schools, and highlights some unsavoury consequences of these consultations. It also examines the views of staff and students on the capacity of students to judge teaching, and how they feel about students being consulted on teacher performance going forward. In doing this, close attention is paid to how experiences and perceptions can differ across different types of schools and schools in different settings.

This book innovatively explores the policy, practice and pedagogy of community engagement in higher education settings. It contributes to the evaluation of adaptive practice and responses in addressing inequalities further exposed by the pandemic, and the role of higher education institutions within this. By exploring such themes, contributors highlight implications for future practice and suggest areas for further pedagogical development. The book also includes perspectives on the patterns of change in higher education asking crucial questions pertaining to its role in regeneration and recovery as it seeks to work for, within, and between communities and constituencies. While it foregrounds youth and community work, it makes wider and systemic connections between communities and higher education institutions.

To achieve a better understanding of the everyday lives of the Mesopotamians, Alhena Gadotti and Alexandra Kleinerman interrogate the relationships between life, death and the afterlife in this ancient society. By focusing on the beliefs and rituals surrounding life and death, illuminated through case studies and primary evidence, including letters written by both women and men, the book allows readers to infiltrate the minds of the ancients and gain first-hand awareness of their passions, concerns, trials and tribulations. To achieve this, this book follows the life cycle of the people of the Tigris and Euphrates River valleys from 3000 BCE to 300 BCE, from birth, through death and beyond. Inspired by Mesopotamian conceptions of the afterlife, which was said to mirror life, the book is divided into two parallel sections. In section one, the authors focus on life, examining topics such as the rituals surrounding birth, marriage, religion and the law. They also analyze the material evidence for everyday life, including food, clothing and entertainment, to show how people lived while alive, providing comparison for later explorations of how people 'lived' when dead. In the second half of the book, the authors concentrate on death, examining the common causes of death, death rituals and the Mesopotamian views of the netherworld, its gods and its inhabitants. The book includes discussions on women's perceptions of sexuality as illustrated by erotic poetry, concepts of gender fluidity both in life and death as evidenced by the epigraphic data, and an exploration of the problematic concept of dying gods. Overall, this book shows daily life in Mesopotamia as a multifaceted subject affected by time, space, location, socioeconomics, and gender, and demonstrates how life and death experiences continually changed and developed over nearly three millennia of Mesopotamian history.
