Rath E: Alcott Hall / B

Alcott Hall

In a world of rules and reputations, Rosalie plays for her own pleasure. FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR AND TIKTOK SENSATION COMES A SPICY WHY CHOOSE ROMANCE When Rosalie Harrow found herself plunged into the middle of a house party of society ladies in pursuit of the hand of the Duke of Norland, though she was near destitute, she had no desire to be caged by marriage. Yet, by evening's end, she'd captivated not one, but three gentlemen . . . James Corbin, Viscount Finchley, has a dual mission. First, guarantee that his debaucherous brother, George, the Duke, goes through with his upcoming marriage. Second, ensure that his best friend, Burke, does not get married . . . at least not to the living, breathing gorgon that is Lady Olivia Rutledge. Burke is fully in agreement. Together with their friend, Lieutenant Renley, the gentlemen concoct an elaborate ruse to set Burke free. But as George's wedding day nears, secrets from the past emerge that threaten ruin upon each gentleman's future. Fortunately, it's Rosalie to the rescue . . . Rosalie has plans of her own, not only to save Burke from the altar, but to save Renley from the ghosts that haunt him-and to save James from himself. Meanwhile, to win her, each gentleman will try anything, risk anything, and be anything she needs. As for Rosalie, she can't help but wonder, why choose? Perfect for fans of Bridgerton, Harlots and The Buccaneers

His Grace, The Duke

Forbidden Looks, Fiery Tension, and a Chase That's Anything But GentleA Steamy Regency Romance from TikTok Sensation, Emily Rath 'Ugh. I just loved so much about this book!' 5* Reader Review 'Beautiful Things is a thoughtfully well written, progressive, feminist inspiration that still manages to be romantic, and I highly recommend!' 5* Reader Review -- Rosalie Harrow is unmarried, near destitute and faces two choices: snag a wealthy gentleman or take a position as a governess. But headstrong Rosalie sees both futures as a kind of cage. When Rosalie receives an invitation to Alcott Hall, she believes she's there to meet the Dowager Duchess of Norland, the mysterious childhood friend of her late mother. Instead, Rosalie is thrust in the middle of a house party of eligible high society ladies all desperate to win the hand of the new, conveniently single duke. And then there's the other gentlemen... Lord James is the duke's younger brother. Lieutenant Renley is begrudgingly searching for a bride. And the tempestuous Mr. Burke, who irks Rosalie to no end. The clock is ticking until the Michaelmas Ball, when the duke will announce his bride. Marriage is a trap and Rosalie will not be easily snared...but that doesn't mean she can't enjoy the chase while it lasts.

Bainbridge on Information Technology and Intellectual Property Law

Hart Studies in Private Law

This book provides a ground-breaking new conceptualisation and complete account of the 'Mere Equity': it charts the development of 'transformative' proprietary remedies in English Law. It sets out a conceptual framework by which to understand those transformative remedies that create equitable proprietary rights rooted in the concept of decisional-control. This allows the work to illustrate how power(s) to create an equitable interest are exercised by courts within a framework of doctrinal rules stipulating when, how, and to what end such power(s) may be exercised. This is a complex field of private law, in much need of clarification, and scholars of private law will welcome this work.

What is the Mere Equity?

Understanding Transformative Proprietary Remedies in English Private Law

How apprenticeship shaped the English economy Apprenticeship dominated training and skill formation in early modern Europe. Years spent learning from a skilled master were a nearly universal experience for young workers in crafts and trade. In England, when apprenticeship reached its peak, as many as a third of all teenage males would serve and learn as apprentices. In The Market for Skill, Patrick Wallis shows how apprenticeship helped reshape the English economy. Some historians see apprenticeship as a key ingredient in the industrial revolution; others agree with Adam Smith in seeing it as wasteful and conservative. Wallis shows that neither of these perspectives is entirely accurate. He offers a new account of apprenticeship and the market for skill in England, analyzing the records of hundreds of thousands of individual apprentices to tell the story of how apprenticeship worked and how it contributed to the transformation of England. Wallis details the activities of apprentices and masters, the strategies of ambitious parents, the interventions of guilds and the decisions of town officials. He shows how the system of early modern apprenticeship contributed to the growth of cities, the movement of workers from farms to manufacturing and the spread of new technologies and productive knowledge. In this groundbreaking study, Wallis argues that apprenticeship succeeded precisely because it was a flexible institution which allowed apprentices to change their minds and exit contracts early. Apprenticeship provided a vital channel for training that families could trust and that was accessible to most young people, whatever their background.

Apprenticeship and Economic Growth in Early Modern England

The Market for Skill

Key Ideas in Law

This book provides an account of the most important and controversial aspects of the principle of legality in the United Kingdom. The principle of legality describes a method of statutory interpretation that empowers courts to prevent fundamental common law values from being overridden by unclear legislation. However, it makes more sense to think of multiple principles of legality, rather than a single concept. The book provides a fresh and detailed perspective on a controversial aspect of the common law. It will be useful for students of law and politics, legal practitioners and scholars. It explores the many complexities surrounding the historical origins, fields of application, mode of operation, and subject matter of the principle of legality. Despite its long history, the term 'principle of legality' only began to be used in public law cases towards the end of the twentieth century. More recently, judicial references to the principle of legality in high profile constitutional law cases have fuelled broader concerns about judicial overreach. The book argues that these concerns are unfounded, and deeper principles of legality are required.

The UK Regulation of International Trade

This book provides the first in-depth scholarly analysis of fraud, the highest volume crime in England and Wales, addressing the challenges faced in building a principled criminal law response by presenting an innovative normative analysis. The UK is now in a pandemic of fraud. There were 4.6 million fraud offences recorded in the year ending March 2021, accounting for 42% of all crime committed against individuals. Fraud is now the highest volume crime in England and Wales; its incidence in the first half of 2021 was described by UK Finance as a 'national security threat'. The book provides the answers to key questions, such as: - How can the rapidly changing nature of fraud be understood and mapped by criminal lawyers? - How does fraud connect to economic crime more broadly? - Is the current landscape for criminalising fraud fit for purpose, in the light of changes to the nature and complexity of wrongdoing? - What are the principled limits to using Artificial Intelligence technologies to detect and to penalise fraud? - Which principles should inform fraud criminalisation and governance following the COVID-19 pandemic, to meet the challenges of a digital age and a stretched criminal justice system?
