Romance crackles in magical Regency London in this dazzling tale of a stolen jewel and the heroine who will do anything to retrieve it—even don a disguise and work with a high-handed-but-attractive stranger who is not what he seems. From New York Times bestseller Garth Nix! On her eighteenth birthday, Lady Truthful Newington—nicknamed “Newt”— is dreaming about her upcoming trip to London, where the streets are filled with magic and eligible young lords. Before she goes, she is to inherit her family’s treasure: the Newington Emerald. A dazzling heart-shaped gem, the Emerald contains mysterious and powerful magic.When the Emerald is stolen, Newt sets off to recover it. Her plan entails dressing up as a man, mustache included, as no well-bred young lady should be seen out and about on her own. While disguised, Newt encounters the handsome but insufferable Major Harnett, who joins the hunt for the missing Emerald. Offended by her new ally’s high-handedness but eager for assistance, Newt strives to conceal her true identity from Harnett, little guessing that he too is not as he appears.A sweeping adventure ensues filled with sinister fey, fancy dresses, witty banter, daring seaborne escapes, grand balls, and a sorceress whose evil plot threatens everyone from Newt herself to the Prince Regent. And as Newt and Harnett face danger together, each realizes there is more to the other than meets the eye—and more alarming yet, they may actually be falling in love.The New York Times bestselling author of Sabriel, Garth Nix, shares his own love for the Regency romantasy genre in a charmed world where everyone has something to hide.Tropes: <ul><li>Mistaken Identity</li><li>Enemies to Lovers</li><li>Forced Proximity</li><li>Dark Fey</li><li>Slow Burn</li><li>Regency Romance</li></ul>

A Regency Romantasy

This classic textbook provides a thorough overview of European private international law. It is essential reading for students and practitioners of private international law and transnational litigation, wherever they may be located: the European rules extend beyond European shores. Opening with foundational questions, the book clearly explains the subject's central tenets: the Brussels I, Rome I and Rome II Regulations (jurisdiction, applicable law for contracts and tort). Additional chapters explore private international law and insolvency, freedom of establishment, and the impact of private international law on corporate social responsibility. The relevant Hague instruments, and the impact of Brexit, are fully integrated in the various chapters. Drawing on the author's rich experience, the new edition retains the book's hallmarks of insight and clarity of expression, ensuring it maintains its position as the leading textbook in the field.

Commercial Litigation in the EU

European Private International Law

Contextualizing Art Markets

Before the tragedy of the Holocaust, many of the leading art and antiques dealers across Europe were Jewish, establishing dynamic cross-Channel, international and transatlantic networks. Aside from a few famous examples, however, we are only at the beginning of exploring the diversity of Jewish dealers' commercial and cultural worlds, and reflecting on the particular conditions that made possible their dramatic expansion within the profession. Adopting a wider geography than any previous study, this book brings together a team of distinguished international contributors to consider Jewish art dealers as an interconnected cohort, tied together by common strategies and a shared vulnerability. After an extended historiographical introduction, the volume presents case studies and trends from 1860-1940, including: Jewish family businesses in Western Europe; the role of Jews as mediators of art from East Asia; the antisemitism and suspicion faced by Jewish dealers; Jews as theorists, exhibition makers and promoters of modern art ; and the geographical mobility and professional reinvention of Jewish dealers in times of economic and political crisis. With a wide variety of illustrations, including paintings, decorative arts, historic photographs and archival material, the volume adopts a mix of methodological approaches to analyse a key chapter in Jewish cultural history and in the history of the international art market. Includes Afterword by Charles Dellheim, author of Belonging and Betrayal: How Jews Made the Art World Modern (2021).

Cambridge Studies in European Law and Policy

This book shows how domestic elites (judges, politicians and lawyers) think about the importance, functioning and future of judicial governance in six European countries - Czechia, France, Germany, Italy, Poland and Slovakia. It builds on a unique dataset of 132 semi-structured elite interviews, enabling in-depth exploration of perceptions regarding the functioning, advantages and power distribution within these six judicial systems. It shows that irrespective of the judicial governance model, domestic elites call for the formal decentralisation of governance. They also believe that more veto players are the best checks and balances against internal corporativism and political capture of judicial governance bodies. The interviews also reveal that elites' trust in judicial self-governance depends heavily on judicial culture. In fact, there are at least four different understandings of the nature of judicial councils among judges, political actors and lawyers. This challenges the uniform understanding of judicial councils provided by European supranational bodies. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

International Studies in the Theory of Private Law

This book analyses what elements of legal regulation would best resolve the longstanding issues of imposition of terms and unfair terms in boilerplate 'contracts of adhesion'. The problem is not a new one, first recognised by Sir Frederick Pollock, but it has persisted over the intervening years. So though the question is a longstanding one, the answer provided by the book is truly innovative. It adopts a 'law in context' methodology to offer solutions. The new methodological approach is combined with insights from global regulatory theory and cutting edge solutions such as private collectivised proceedings and remedies, streamlined adjudication, and administrative enforcement systems. It takes a global approach, looking at models in the US, Canada, the UK, and the EU. As the use of boilerplates is set only to increase as privatisation and globalisation spread, the answers provided by this book are much needed.

Revealing the people behind the Rothschild name, The Rothschilds explores the lives and legacy of one of the best-known and most impactful families in modern history. The Rothschild name has long been synonymous with wealth and privilege, but as Jews the family has also been dogged by prejudice and hatred. Antisemitism followed them from their earliest beginnings in the oppressive Jewish ghetto of Frankfurt, where Jews were not allowed out after nightfall, to the lofty summits of high finance, art, and culture. However, behind the myths, the glamor, and the conspiracy theories are a group of relatives whose individualism, personalities and occasional eccentricities have been obscured by their shared surname. <ul> <li>In The Rothschilds, Harry Freedman delves into their lives on a historical tour, marked by an unfailing attention to the influence of individual family members on world events.</li> <li>We travel from the genesis of the Rothschild international banking empire to the impact of individual Rothschilds in multiple fields over the past 250 years.</li> <li>Spanning war, politics and the industrial revolution, art, architecture and interior design, zoology, smuggling, and counter-terrorism and the ongoing struggle against entrenched anti-Jewish bigotry in different historical eras and places.</li></ul> The Rothschilds reveals a truly new story of a very old family, making a great contribution both to history and our understanding of a dynasty that has shaped our world. &nbsp;

This open access book offers an in-depth understanding of the challenges, dilemmas and strategies of reinstating the rule of law after the dismantling of a constitutional order. Drawing on the case of Poland's democratic transition back to the rule of law, the volume explores the uncharted territory of restoring independent institutions within an EU Member State. After eight years of autocratic interference with the judiciary, media and state institutions, the Parliamentary elections of October 2023 mark a turning point for Poland. The new government now faces the complex challenge of restoring the rule of law, with European and international law playing a pivotal role. Still, at numerous crossroads a dilemma comes up: Can the rule of law be disregarded to restore it? Or must the rule of law be adhered to at the risk of legal and institutional paralysis? This book presents strategies for solving this dilemma in theory and practice, thereby paving the way for other states' transitions to come. Through a comparative and interdisciplinary approach, including historical and contextual analysis, the authors show that restoring the rule of law is more than just a legal challenge. This volume equips academics and policymakers with conceptual tools and practical guidance to address the pressing issue of reinstating the rule of law, both in Poland and beyond. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by the University of Freiburg.

Reinstating the Rule of Law

This volume addresses the important, but under-noticed, question of the impact of state size and scale for constitutional law and governance.Often, the best way to understand the effect of scale is to examine states where scale is demonstrably lacking. Doing so allows a form of 'reflective' comparison that provides greater insight and clarity into the significance of state size, and constitutional scale, as factors affecting a range of constitutional outcomes. As such, the collection brings together scholars from a wide range of jurisdictions, living and working across the Global South and North, to focus on the lessons from a range of small states and jurisdictions in this context. Attention is devoted to the constitutional experiences of such states and jurisdictions in Europe, Africa, Asia, South America, the Caribbean and Oceania. The volume also explicitly invites critical reflection on, and problemisation, of the issues of line-drawing and boundary definition around notions of state and jurisdictional size.It will be of interest to audiences working in and interested in small states generally, as well as a broader comparative audience interested in issues of scale in constitutional design and implementation.

EU gender equality law has expanded considerably in scope, evolving from its modest origins as a single provision on equal pay in the 1957 Treaty of Rome into a complex body of Treaty provisions, directives, and case law that shapes gender equality across the Member States. The pace of the legal developments can make the field challenging to navigate for practitioners, policymakers, and academics alike. EU Gender Equality Law: Concepts, Practice, Challenges provides an essential guide through this multifaceted area of law.

The book offers a comprehensive English-language analysis of this dynamic field, written by three leading scholars in equality, EU, and human rights law. Grounded in feminist legal theory and taking a law-in-context approach, the book address achievements and current limitations of the legislation, CJEU case law, and implementation at the EU and national levels. It also gives attention to the most recent directives, including in particular the Work-Life Balance and Pay Transparency Directives.

Core concepts such as sex and gender, equality, and different forms of discrimination are examined, not only within the general foundations of EU law but also in the broader context of international human rights law. The book provides in-depth discussions of equal pay; gender equality at work; pregnancy, maternity, and work-life balance; equal access to goods and services; and effective enforcement. 

Throughout, EU Gender Equality Law moves beyond the current state of the law and practice, critically reflecting on the role law can play in sustaining inequality. It also takes a forward-looking perspective, exploring possibilities the law offers to address structural gender inequality and to contribute to transformative equality.

How the social organization of Europe and China shaped their divergent economic and political trajectories over the past millennium In the eleventh century, when Europe was still backward and poor, China was a rich and sophisticated civilization. Yet Europe became the birthplace of democracy and the Industrial Revolution, driving the Great Enrichment, while China stagnated until the end of the twentieth century and was always ruled by autocracies. Two Paths to Prosperity traces the emergence of two very different social organizations in premodern China and Europe--the clan and the corporation--showing how they were key factors in the economic and political divergence of these two great civilizations. In this landmark book, three leading economists offer a bold new account of why Europe and China evolved along such different trajectories. In the early Middle Ages, public goods like risk sharing, religious worship, education, and conflict resolution were provided by nonstate organizations in both societies. China increasingly relied on kin-based cooperation within clans, while weaker kinship ties in Europe gave rise to corporations such as guilds, universities, and self-governing towns. Despite performing similar functions, clans and corporations were built on very different principles--with lasting consequences until today. Providing a novel answer to a fundamental question in economic and political history, Two Paths to Prosperity shows how extended kinship in Chinese society facilitated the consolidation of autocracy and hindered innovation and economic development, and how corporations in Europe influenced emerging state institutions and set the stage for the Industrial Revolution.
