An exploration of night - the nocturnal world, insomnia, the creative potential of the dark hours, the work that happens at night to keep the modern world moving - by Sunday Times bestselling author Dan Richards

Richards D: Overnight / B

Journeys, Conversations and Stories After Dark

The History and Theory of International Law

A Sociology of International Investment Law applies methods associated with the sociologist Max Weber to illuminate aspects of international investment law - a regime made up of thousands of treaties that protect foreign investors from state action diminishing the value of their investments. By applying many of Weber's key themes associated with legal modernity - legitimacy, rationality, domination, bureaucracy, and charisma - the book conscripts tools of analysis that enable the testing of many of investment law's operating assumptions. A Sociology of International Investment Law Law is premised on the belief that theory informs practice and that enlisting aspects of Weber's work illuminates the contemporary practice of, and debates over, international investment law. Utilizing Weber's themes and methods, results in a deeper appreciation of the connections of international investment law has with classical social theory. The book also reveals how the field fails to measure up to many of the analytical challenges that Weber's sociological interventions provoke. This book offers an exploration of the commonalities, differences, and blind spots shared by this relatively new international legal field with one of the most influential theorists of modernity. This is an open access title. It is available to read and download as a free PDF version on Oxford Academic and is made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 International licence.

The Radical Imagination

Since its initial 2011 publication, Theory from the South has stimulated a new field of inquiry from leading scholars, while world developments have escalated and supported its original thesis of how "Euroamerica has evolved toward Africa." Not least of these is the many resemblances of the Trump presidency to that of Jacob Zuma, transformations in the nature of many of the world's Northern democracies, the rise of populist politics, the intensifying hold of private capital over functions of the state, sharpening inequalities, and the transformation of labor. In a new chapter for this expanded edition, the Comaroffs extend their theorizing around and beyond these new developments. Critique and discussion by several prominent commentators round out this new edition: Achille Mbembe, James Ferguson, Ato Quayson, Srinivas Aravamudan, and Juan Obarrio.

Theory from the South, Revisited

Crime Prevention

Astrology is the language in which all of existence speaks, says astrologer and tarotist Bess Matassa. In Star Charting, she leads readers on a vivid journey through the twelve signs of the zodiac as a poetic practice and transformative framework for befriending both the familiar and the strange. Matassa blends personal narrative, sensory immersion, inquiry exercises, and communal calls to action to reframe this ancient art as a modern manifesto for healing division by exalting the astounding complexity within this wild world. In contrast to more technical manuals on birth chart interpretation, this is magic-making as an exploratory treasure hunt, forging radical pathways to personal and collective evolution. Twelve modes of bearing witness to life and moving with its currents. Twelve styles of championing creative change. And twelve ways of never, ever losing heart.

'A fascinating journey that illuminates, in often thought-provoking ways, the politics of violence in radical movements' Angela Davis The son of the FBI's most wanted woman tells the electrifying, heart-rending story of a childhood on the run - and a half-century of revolutionary struggle in America We all grapple with a past that defines us: culture, religion, a family story. But what happens when you inherit a revolution? Zayd Ayers Dohrn was born underground. His parents were fugitives after a decade fighting the US government; his mother co-founded a leftist radical group called the Weathermen, and replaced Angela Davis on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List. All his life, Dohrn's parents said his birth marked a clean break with violent revolutionary struggle but, in this explosive memoir, he discovers that story wasn't entirely true. A masterpiece of personal and social history, Dangerous, Dirty, Violent and Young offers a page-turning account of an infamous family and their life in hiding, as well as the political battles of the '60s and '70s. At its heart it asks big questions: how can a child survive when the place they feel safest - with their family - also puts them in danger? What does it mean to be a good revolutionary, and how should young people today try to change the world?

Drawing on themes from Africa Yearbook chapters on Madagascar, this book charts the country's journey through some of its most turbulent years. Democracy, marked by uneven progress, has weathered repeated elections, an unconstitutional government overthrow, rising social movements, and shifting domestic and international alliances. During this time, Madagascar witnessed extraordinary per capita international donor investment, signaling both global interest and urgent need. Yet the country remains a paradox: a place where solid institutions and pockets of economic growth persist alongside some of the world's deepest poverty and most fragile democratic practices. It is a story of resilience, contradiction, and transformation.

'The law of libel is the instrument of censorship by which dignity-too often pseudo-dignity-is to be upheld.' That is Michael Rubinstein's definition in his introduction to this lively and authoritative account Wicked, Wicked Libels (originally published in 1972) of the libel situation in Britain.The contributors are all actively concerned about libel as a living issue. Michael Rubinstein writes first about 'the popular appetite for scandal', and the other contributors view libel from various angles. H. Montgomery Hyde looks at the law of libel itself, Louis Blom-Cooper writes about the conflicts between freer speech and privacy, and Anthony Lincoln discusses the problems facing legal advisers to the press. William Kimber, Richard Ingrams and Cecil H. King look at the subject from the publisher's point of view. Eugene Gros writes as a successful plaintiff, Louis A. Abraham looks at defamation as contempt of Parliament, and Michael Rubinstein contributes a chapter on book publishing and the law of libel. There are also two important appendices of particular interest: one an account by Harold Laski of a day in court, and the other a Press comment on the PQ 17 case after the hearing in the Court of Appeal.
