The true, personal, behind-the-scenes account of paleontology's most dramatic adventure!This is it: The only first-hand account of the most storied chapter in paleontological history--expanded in this second edition with 100 additional pages. Released more than twenty years after the first edition, this volume brings both a riveting personal story and the cutting edge of T. rex science. Peter Larson, team leader of the field crew that's dug more T. rex than anyone else, reveals what he's contributed to hunting, restoring, and researching dinosaurs--over his now seven decades of experience.Both OG paleo fans and new generation of enthusiasts have a chance to explore the updated personal drama that occurred when the most famous rex ever, Sue, was seized by the FBI, changing Larson's international headlines from science to politics. The first edition of this story inspired Todd Douglas Miller's 2014 Emmy Award(R)-winning documentary, Dinosaur 13--which featured both authors on screen.However, this second edition also fills in "what happened next"--with revealing tales behind the next crop of headlines in Larson's life. Learn about the second-best rex, Stan, and yet another jaw-dropping lawsuit--as well as Larson's work to help government agencies and courts to create fair and proper permitting processes for field paleontologists.This is what really happened to this champion of the past--a man who never lost his faith, and the goals he continues to work toward--all for the love of science. This is a book about passion and persistence; if you love dinosaurs, this book is a true inspiration.

The Real Story--And Legacy--Of the Most Famous T. Rexes on Earth

Rex Appeal

The Law of Economic Regulation provides a detailed analysis of the law specific to economic regulation and the practice of that law. This book is unique in dealing with the key elements of economic regulation - such as rule-setting, regulatory investigations and disputes, enforcement and appeals on a cross-sector basis, offering a resource to practitioners in each sector who currently have few efficient options to see how other sectors deal with a specific issue. As the number of regimes, and their jurisprudence, continues to grow, the legal issues arising have increased in importance. Whilst the focus of this book is on UK sector regimes, it uses other comparisons where relevant, including UK and EU competition law, and sectoral regimes in other jurisdictions from the EU, USA and beyond, where that best illustrates a particular point. It answers questions, such as: - What rules apply to major regulated companies? - How do the rules vary between regulated sectors? - What is the point of economic regulation? - How do regulators make decisions? - Can decisions by regulators be challenged, and if so, how? With contributions from leading specialists in their areas, this title is essential reading for all legal practitioners specialising in regulation, competition law, energy law, telecommunications law, environmental law and transport law. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Practice and Procedure Law online service.

The Law of Economic Regulation

This open access book examines the role played by international, regional, and national legal frameworks in holding corporations operating in the natural resource sector accountable for human rights violations in the Global South.

Influential scholars from across the world address pressing issues concerning the integration of business and human rights standards for better governance of natural resources. They focus particularly on extractive and multinational companies in the Global South and their role in the transition to net zero societies. The book also examines legal mechanisms for corporate accountability under international, human rights and transnational law, using case studies from selected countries across Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

The book reviews proposals for an enforceable legal framework to hold corporations accountable for human rights abuses and environmental damage. It considers initiatives such as the OECD Guidelines on Multinational Enterprises, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the UN's Draft Business and Human Rights Treaty, and the European Union Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive. 

The book is essential reading for researchers working in the fields of business and human rights law, natural resources law, environmental law and international law, as well as corporate and human rights practitioners litigating in the energy and natural resources sectors.

The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by the Bloomsbury Open Collections Library Collective.

Cornerstone on...

Inquests and inquiries form a distinct area of law in which the aim of the tribunal is to discover what happened, rather than who is right, wrong, or at fault. Cornerstone on Inquests and Inquiries provides an accessible, go-to guide to this area of practice, useful for both practitioners and parties involved. It looks at the field as a whole, acknowledging the commonalities between inquests and public inquiries, and providing a practical approach to each. The book also covers the field of parliamentary inquiries.

Freedom of contract is a fundamental principle of European Union law, a necessary condition for exercising the freedom to choose an occupation and the freedom to conduct a business. Since the global financial crisis, a vast body of regulatory rules has been developed, and freedom of contract of banks and other financial institutions is being restricted, often to protect the weaker party or achieve public policy goals. Freedom of Contract in the European Financial Sector provides a robust analysis of freedom of contract and its restrictions in the European financial sector. Covering EU financial supervision law, general EU law, contract law, and consumer law, this book examines how the interplay between freedom of contract and the protection of the weaker party and the promotion of other public interests impacts banks and other financial institutions. Timely and thought-provoking, this book explores fundamental legal principles and their practical implications that will be highly relevant to scholars and practitioners not only in the EU, but also in the UK, the US, Switzerland, Singapore, and Hong Kong.

This book examines the origins, deployment, and legacy of Order 1305, a measure introduced in 1940 to make it a criminal offence to take part in a strike. Surprisingly, the prohibition on the right to strike was retained by the Attlee administration after the Second World War, and was transformed to become a weapon of government during the Cold War to deal with what were wrongly claimed by ministers to be Communist-inspired strikes engineered for subversive purposes. In a deep analysis of Order 1305, the authors provide a reassessment of the role of the State in industrial relations. Challenging much contemporary learning in labour law, the book is informed by a very detailed engagement with Cabinet and ministerial papers, which highlight the contradictions on the part of government in simultaneously promoting and containing trade union power. These sources also highlight the extent to which trade unions both relied on and were co-opted by the State. The main focus of the book, however, is the role of Order 1305 in the control of trade union activists, with the continuing presence of the criminal law and allegations of communist inspired strikes ensuring an important role for MI5 and Special Branch in post-war industrial relations. Material unearthed at the National Archives demonstrates unequivocally not only that trade unions were deeply penetrated, but also that trade union activists were the subject of extensive surveillance, as the authors fully reveal.
