Sinossi
The role of such people as the refugee, the immigrant and the subjugated minority is explored in this book, together with their attendant legal regimes, in the persistent but ever unsettled processes of national/global formation. Challenging accounts that would ascribe to them a transitory or incidental place in the establishment of the modern juridical order, the collection argues that these excluded or marginalized people are coming to form a new entity - the global legal subject - comparable in ways to other non-state actors operating in the international legal system. The collection shows how the global legal subject is integral to and constituent of the processes of state and global formation yet also disruptive of them. It maintains that these global subjects stand as possible precursors to new political ways of being. This book makes a contribution to debates on law and globalization, and could be of interest to those concerned with law and the movement of people, law and the formation of identities and law and human rights.

Hardback. Condizione: Fair. This text explores evolution down an avenue that links natural selection and genetics - the effect of changes to the rates and timing of growth and development. It delves into the living and fossil worlds to show how animals and plants have evolved when the carefully orchestrated pattern of embryological development is gently nudged off course - producing species that may have developed "beyond" their ancestors, or others that have developed less, looking more like over-grown juveniles. McNamara shows how this phenomenon - known as heterochrony - has affected many aspects of evolution, including the mechanism behind the selection of different breeds of animals, differences between sexes, and animal behaviour. Heterochrony accounts for the "Peter Pan syndrome," in which some species look like their ancestors' children. It explains what was really behind the evolution of flightless birds, how the dinosaurs got so big, how pterosaurs managed to produce a wing supported only by their fourth fingers, and what has driven the evolution of the animal closest to our hearts - the largest primate species with the biggest brain and longest childhood - Homo sapiens.
