How relevant is the concept of war today? This book examines how notions about war continue to influence how we conceive rights and obligations in national and international law. It also considers the role international law plays in limiting what is forbidden and legitimated in times of war or armed conflict. The book highlights how, even though war has been outlawed and should be finished as an institution, states nevertheless continue to claim that they can wage\nnecessary wars of self-defence, engage in lawful killings in war, imprison law-of-war detainees, and attack objects which are said to be part of a war-sustaining economy. The book includes an overall account of the contemporary laws of war and delves into whether states should be able to continue to\nclaim so-called 'belligerent rights' over their enemies and those accused of breaching expectations of neutrality. A central claim in the book is as follows: while there is general agreement that war has been abolished as a legal institution for settling disputes, the time has come to admit that the belligerent rights that once accompanied states at war are no longer available. The conclusion is that claiming to be in a war or an armed conflict does not grant anyone a licence to kill people,\ndestroy things, and acquire other people's property or territory.

The First World War was one of the deadliest conflicts in modern history and produced horrors undreamed of by the young men who cheerfully volunteered for a war that was supposed to be over by Christmas. Whether in the patriotic enthusiasm of Rupert Brooke, the disillusionment of Charles Hamilton Sorley, or the bitter denunciations of Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen, the war produced an astonishing outpouring of powerful poetry. \n\nEdited by author and editor Marcus Clapham, the major poets are all represented in this beautiful Macmillan Collector’s Library anthology, Poetry of the First World War, alongside many others whose voices are less well known, and their verse is accompanied by contemporary motifs.\n\nDesigned to appeal to the booklover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautiful gift editions of much loved classic titles. Macmillan Collector's Library are books to love and treasure.

In ancient times Clapham was a secluded Surrey village, clustered round a manor house and church. By the seventeenth century, the wealthy of London were building houses here as rural retreats and, by 1800, their mansions in extensive grounds surrounded Clapham Common, which was becoming a place of recreation. The development of the railways in the nineteenth century meant that families who could afford large houses moved further out to the countryside, selling off their ground to developers who built the terraced houses which cover the area today. Around forty years ago, after a period of neglect and bomb damage from the Second World War, the area started to become ‘gentrified’ and is now a desirable London suburb.\n\nClapham Through Time traces these changes over the years. A few mansions have survived and been put to new uses, several churches lost during the war have been replaced, Clapham Common is recognisable though used quite differently, but the greatest change is in the appearance of the ordinary streets – the shop fronts, vehicles and people. Many who have arrived in Clapham during the last few years will be amazed by its former appearance!

Che cosa significa oggi parlare di diritti umani? L'argomento è tra i più discussi dei nostri giorni e i due autori del volume lo affrontano unendo alla loro competenza un taglio originale e innovativo. Invece di scegliere una prospettiva di analisi filosofica o di fare il punto sulle normative esistenti in materia, essi propongono al lettore la forma del lessico, organizzando in ordine alfabetico la trattazione tematica delle principali questioni rilevanti per i diritti umani fondamentali. Grazie a questa scelta - per cui si susseguono capitoli dai titoli quali Alimentazione, Crimini internazionali, Donne, Lavoro, Torture, Vittime - il volume acquista un'immediata chiarezza. I diritti umani sono trattati nei contesti pratici in cui solitamente vengono invocati, discussi e presi in considerazione. E temi tradizionali quali la pena di morte, la difesa dei bambini, il diritto a una casa sono affiancati da altri emergenti quali gli armamenti, la cultura, i mass media. La struttura alfabetica consente una lettura mobile, non lineare: il lettore è così sollecitato a porsi domande e a tracciare liberi percorsi di riflessione.

Danny Noonan era l'ennesimo ventenne sfigato con un lavoro senza sbocchi e una band destinata al fallimento, finché non ha incontrato Sadie, la figlia selvatica di un magnate folle le cui perversioni sono la sola cosa più letale dei mercenari che lavorano per lui. Ora Danny è un ventenne sfigato con un lavoro senza sbocchi a New York City e Sadie è più pazza che mai, grazie a un proiettile nel cervello che ha spazzato via fino alla sua ultima inibizione. Assuefatta a tutti gli stimoli esistenti, Sadie sta rendendo la vita decisamente interessante per Danny e la sua banda di sfigati e reietti. Ma quando la loro ultima, brillante idea del cavolo per diventare ricchi in fretta collide con il passato segreto di Sadie, il gruppo di Danny scopre il significato finale della parola \"disinibito\"... e tutti loro rischiano la vita.

Today it is usually not long before a problem gets expressed as a human rights issue. Indeed, human rights law continues to gain increasing attention internationally, and must move quickly in order to keep up with a social world that changes so rapidly.\n\nThis Very Short Introduction, in its second edition, brings the issue of human rights up to date, considering the current controversies surrounding the movement. Discussing torture and arbitrary detention in the context of counter terrorism, Andrew Clapham also considers new challenges to human rights in the context of privacy, equality and the right to health. Looking at the philosophical justification for rights, the historical origins of human rights and how they are formed in law, Clapham explains what our human rights actually are, what they might be, and where the human rights movement is heading. \n\nABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.
