Paperback. Condizione: New. Aoife Nolan's important book uses constitutional and democratic theory, human rights, and case law from a variety of jurisdictions to show how the courts can and should give effect to children's socio-economic rights. Constituting a major contribution to scholarship, it is the first book to examine together children's socio-economic rights; children as democratic citizens; the implications of children's rights for democratic constitutional theory; the role of courts in ensuring the enforcement of children's rights and the debates surrounding the litigation and adjudication of socio-economic rights. 'Children's rights were often thought to be synonymous with economic and social welfare prior to the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989. Ironically, since that time, remarkably little scholarship has been devoted to the vitally important economic and social rights dimensions of children's rights. Nolan's book singlehandedly remedies that neglect and does so in a sophisticated, nuanced and balanced way. It provides a superb account of the pros and cons of judicial activism in promoting these rights.'Philip Alston, John Norton Pomeroy Professor, NYU Law SchoolWinner of the Kevin Boyle Book Prize 2012 for Outstanding Legal Scholarship.…

A rebellion that set Roman Britain on fire.Boudica: The Queen Who Burned Roman Britain tells the powerful true story of the Iceni queen who led one of the most devastating revolts the Roman Empire ever faced.After the death of her husband, King Prasutagus, Rome seized Iceni land, humiliated the royal household, and treated a client kingdom as conquered property.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. xxiv, 378 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm. 'The link between finance and human rights is one of the great known unknowns of our time. Not even the trauma of the 2007/8 global financial crisis has shaken loose the imperceptibility of this critical intersection. Until now. With commendable ambition and consummate skill, this book takes on the challenge. Not only has Nolan shown vision by focusing the volume on the impact of the crisis on economic and social rights, she has backed it up by assembling an impressive array of leading thinkers and practitioners in the field to cast light on a matter that is as vitally important as it is fundamentally misunderstood.' David Kinley, Sydney Law School '[This book] comes at a critical moment . By clearly identifying cases of past and present socio-economic rights violations and by expanding on alternatives and legal responses for dealing with economic crisis, [it] will be a fundamental tool to guide policy and law makers, judges and civil society organizations. [It] also promises to be a critical resource for UN Treaty Bodies and Special Procedures who, in their daily work, are confronted with the (in)direct impact on human rights of the austerity measures discussed here. By calling a spade a spade and elaborating on violations of socio-economic rights in the context of crisis, this book not only brings legal clarity to an often nebulous domain, but also a sense of hope to all those who wish to litigate and enforce these rights in the context of the economic crisis.' Catarina de Albuquerque, United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Right to Safe Drinking Water and Sanitation 'This is a very welcome book from an able editor and a group of scholars and practitioners committed to understanding the tools we have should we seek to leave no one behind in the enduring march towards economic globalization. If in the end this valuable publication has left us wondering if human rights law is fit for purpose, we might first question whether the world we have fashioned is fit for humans.' Margot E. Salomon, Human Rights Law Review. …

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. She was a philosopher, mathematician, teacher, and one of the most extraordinary women of the ancient world. Then Alexandria turned against her.Hypatia: The Last Light of Alexandria tells the powerful true story of Hypatia of Alexandria, the brilliant scholar whose life and death became one of the most haunting symbols of the ancient world's transformation.Born into the intellectual heart of Roman Egypt, Hypatia taught philosophy, mathematics, and astronomy in a city famous for learning, argument, faith, violence, and political struggle. She advised powerful men, led students from across the empire, and stood as a rare public female intellectual in a world shaped almost entirely by male authority.Her murder in 415 CE shocked the ancient world. Dragged from her carriage by a mob and killed in brutal fashion, Hypatia became a lasting symbol of knowledge caught inside the storm of religious and political conflict.Inside this book, readers will discover: The real Alexandria of Hypatia's lifetimeThe world of ancient mathematics, astronomy, and philosophyThe role of Theon, Synesius, Orestes, Cyril, and the Alexandrian churchThe political crisis that led to Hypatia's deathThe myths, legends, and later interpretations that shaped her memoryWhy Hypatia still matters as a figure of learning, courage, and intellectual freedomCarefully researched and vividly written, this book separates documented history from romantic legend while preserving the emotional force of Hypatia's story.For readers of ancient history, women's biography, philosophy, religious conflict, classical civilisation, and forgotten figures of the ancient world, Hypatia is a moving portrait of a mind that refused to disappear.
