Hence the Crown has no 'third source' powers, common law powers or 'Ram doctrine' style freedoms.Royal Law builds on Dicey's definition of the prerogative, arguing that it comprises all residual non-statutory rights, powers, duties, and immunities historically ascribed to the Crown. However, it contends that Blackstone's alternative definition, that prerogative po...

Barry Wapping has been delivering post in the same West Yorkshire town since 1982. He knows his patch better than anyone. Mrs Hopper was one of his favourites, so when Barry arrives with a bundle of condolence cards only to find her daughter already at the door – house up for sale, mail redirected overnight, everything tidied away at suspicious speed – he can't let it go. What begins as professional instinct slowly becomes something more entangling: a property agent with a troubling marita...

Robert Craig Bunch has interviewed sixty current Texas artists, focusing on painters, printmakers, sculptors, and others whose work, broadly speaking, is inspired by dreams, visions, myths, and imagined worlds. Working in the tradition of predecessors such as Bror Utter, Ben Culwell, Maudee Carron, Kelly Fearing, Jim Harter, Valton Tyler, Harry Geffert, and even more distant antecedents such as Hieronymus Bosch, Hildegard of Bingen, and the prehistoric rock artists of the Lower Pecos, thes...

The Evil Eye is a superstition arising not from local circumstances, or peculiarity of a great or small division of the human family, but is a result of an original tendency of the human mind. The natural irritation felt at the hostile look of a neighbour, still more of an enemy, is implanted in the breast of all, however much they may be influenced by moral teaching. When we add to this the feeling that some valued possession has attracted the coveteous desire of another, the fear of loss...

The architectural development of Georgia Tech began as a core of Victorian-era buildings sited around a campus green and Tech Tower. During the subsequent Beaux-Arts era, designers (who were also members of the architecture faculty) added traditionally styled buildings, with many of them in a pseudo-Jacobean collegiate redbrick style. Early Modernist Paul Heffernan led an architectural revolution in his academic village of functionalist buildings on campus--an aesthetic that inspired addit...

The relationship between biological thought and literature, and between science and culture, has long been an area of interest by no means confined to literary studies. The Darwin Anniversary celebrations of 2009 added to this tradition, inspiring a variety of new publications on the cultural reception of Darwin and Darwinism. With a fresh scope that includes but also reaches beyond the «Darwinian» legacy, the essays in this volume explore the range and diversity of interactions between bi...

Even as the view of America as a rogue state consolidates abroad, Americans appear largely bystanders at the spectacle of their government running amok. People forget the myriad instances of their government's flouting of the Constitution and international legal norms-- if ever they were aware of them in the first place--accepting to live in the increasingly pernicious "new normal" with little protest. This remarkable anthology of columns documents and reminds us of the extraordinary devel...

The authors spell out the challenges that Gorbachev and his successors face. The penultimate chapter deals with the privatization of the Soviet economy. In the last chapter they document the failure of Western experts and pundits to create a true picture o...
