The Year in Tech, 2027: The Insights You Need from Harvard Business Review

This open access book critically analyses a wide range of consumer law issues generated or exacerbated by the Internet of Things. The Internet of Things challenges many of the dichotomies which have shaped current laws: goods-services, hardware-software, tangible-intangible, online-offline. The book focuses on 4 specific challenges: things-as-service, liability, bricking of physical devices through software control, and the potential for enhanced personalisation, especially for digital assistants. The chapters analyse specific applications such as smart homes, connected cars, and consumer wearables with a view to providing innovative solutions to the new challenges posed by the Internet of Things, and to steer the development of the Internet of Things in a fairer direction. As well as offering an important analysis of the potential for smart consumer laws in the Internet of Things, the book also provides important insights into the growing divergence between Germany's and the UK's consumer laws since Brexit. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by UKRI (Arts and Humanities Research Council) and the German Research Foundation (DFG).

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.

Cornerstone on Inquests and Inquiries

Most composition textbooks begin with skills like thesis writing and paragraph structure. This one begins with a person. Writing as Self-Design is a transformative textbook in which students examine control of information and discover their agency in meaning-making. Informed by neuroscience, rhetorical theory, digital literacy, and composition pedagogy, this book challenges students to question how meaning is made, filtered, and constrained in the digital age, and to develop their unique voices through composition strategies that reclaim writing as an act of self-design. It is a book which responds to the technological landscape in which we find ourselves. Rather than convincing students of the value of research and writing, Writing as Self-Design allows them to discover their own emotional value through enhanced agency in inquiry and resistance. Through this textbook, composition becomes a space in which students question information control, the hedonic cycle of passive consumption, and their greater agency in creativity and intentional design. Recognizing the ubiquity of tools like AI, this book encourages critical examination of how and why they are used. Students engage with algorithmic bias, misinformation, datafication, and the influence of platforms like Google, TikTok, and ChatGPT: not just as topics, but as forces that shape the way they think, write, and relate to the world. The value of Writing as Self-Design will resonate well beyond the classroom, addressing the importance of the critical skills needed to navigate the "total noise" of our media-saturated lives, build personal definitions of success, and rediscover the creative cycle that leads to lasting happiness and fulfilment.

Global Law and Sustainable Development

Given the significant developments in Indian economic and trade policymaking over the last two decades, this book provides an authoritative and timely analysis of the transformation and current state of India's foreign economic policy. The work presents a comprehensive, informed and critical overview of negotiating issues addressed in the recent period leading up to the substantial conclusion of the Trade Facilitation Agreement. The volume also takes into account the geopolitical considerations that influenced the negotiations. Finally, the reform steps being taken by India need to be understood in light of the structural changes in the economy, fuelling domestic compulsion, and the analysis covers this undercurrent in detail. The book will be a valuable guide to academics, researchers and policy-makers working in the areas of international trade law, development economics and global politics.

Deciphering the Law, Economics and Politics

India’s Foreign Economic Policy

This book brings together leading scholars from private law and employment law to reflect upon private law doctrines as they relate to the employment contract. Developing an interdisciplinary dialogue, these contributions explore the regulatory functions of private law doctrines at the cutting edge of modern employment law. Topics include the potential and limitations of private law damages; the role of injunctions and specific performance; the interactions between express and implied terms; vicarious liability; substantial performance and breach; and the common law right to work. The integration of scholarly perspectives from the realms of private law and employment law enriches and deepens our understanding of core private law doctrines. Historically, employment law was defined in terms of its autonomy from general private law. This achievement of autonomy was highly prized, and considered necessary to facilitate industrial freedoms for trade unions and the protection of employees from exploitation. But the contractual basis of employment means that any such autonomy has always been partial and unstable. Furthermore, as trade unions have declined and governments have deregulated statutory employment rights, private law has assumed growing practical importance in strategic appellate litigation. In many common law jurisdictions, private law doctrines have become the new battleground between employers, workers and trade unions. The essays in this book examine specific doctrinal issues against this dynamic backdrop of changing social, economic and constitutional conditions. While focused mainly on English law, the essays also consider examples from other jurisdictions including Australia and Scotland. As private law becomes the default regulation for most employment contracts in 21st-century labour markets across the world, this book is an essential resource for practitioners, judges, academics and students.

Private Law and the Employment Contract

The Psychology of Money
The Psychology of Money: Unveiling the Secrets of Financial Behavior by Dr. Maxwell Shimba is not a conventional personal finance manual promising get-rich-quick schemes or secret stock tips. Rather, it is a profound interdisciplinary excavation of the human relationship with money, drawing from behavioral economics, neuroscience, clinical psychology, sociology, and philosophy. The book's central thesis is revolutionary yet simple: money is fundamentally a psychological artifact, a vessel into which we pour our deepest fears, hopes, identities, and narratives. Every financial decision-from the mundane morning coffee purchase to the monumental retirement portfolio allocation-is a window into our internal world, shaped by childhood imprints, cultural conditioning, and ancient neural wiring. Dr. Shimba systematically dismantles the myth of Homo economicus, the perfectly rational actor, and replaces it with a far more complex and compassionate portrait of the human being navigating an increasingly complex financial landscape.
The book is structured as an expedition through ten interconnected territories of financial psychology, beginning with the foundational architecture of the money mindset. Dr. Shimba guides readers through an archaeological dig of their earliest money memories, the cognitive biases that systematically distort judgment, and the emotional underpinnings-fear, greed, regret, shame-that often override our best intentions. The work is grounded in rigorous scholarship, from Kahneman and Tversky's Prospect Theory to the neuroscientific mapping of the brain on money, yet it remains intensely practical. Each chapter builds upon the last, moving from individual psychology into the powerful currents of social influence, the intricate dance between money and meaning, and the psychological preparation required for life's great transitions: marriage, parenthood, career volatility, and retirement. The twenty-year case study contrasting Michael's scarcity mindset with David's abundance orientation serves as a haunting, instructive parable of how internal architecture shapes external destiny.
What distinguishes this work from other books on financial psychology is its unflinching engagement with the frontiers of our moment. Dr. Shimba devotes substantial attention to the digital transformation of money-the algorithmic agents now co-piloting our investment decisions, the frictionless interfaces that have anesthetized the "pain of paying," the ethical quagmires of fintech dark patterns and algorithmic bias, and the psychological challenges of the gig economy and cryptocurrency speculation. Yet the book never succumbs to technological determinism or Luddite nostalgia. Instead, it charts a third path: the way of the Integrator, who possesses dual citizenship in both the Digital Republic of algorithmic fluency and the Republic of Inner Experience, where timeless human values reside. The future of money psychology, Dr. Shimba argues, is not a prediction but a practice-the daily, disciplined integration of the Technologist and the Philosopher-Psychologist.

The Psychology of Money - WORKBOOK

This book is the first comprehensive academic treatment of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) and employment rights, which has a global vocation demonstrated by having been ratified by 173 States since it was adopted in 1966. Workers' rights need protection and reinforcement. To achieve this aim, international human rights standards can play an important role. The ICESCR is the most important global UN instrument in this respect. It covers a wide range of employment rights, including the right to strike, and has global application. But it is not sufficiently developed and used, and national implementation often needs improvement. Part 1 of the book analyses general issues related to the Covenant, such as context, development, challenges, influences at the global and regional levels, interpretation and procedural elements. Part 2 deals with the specific provisions which are directly linked to the employment relation. The book is based on a thorough analysis, mainly, but not exclusively, of the case law of the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR), that is monitoring the national implementation of the Covenant. Together, the chapters in this book will empower academics and practitioners in labour law to find answers to relevant and practical problems in order to better enforce and improve workers' rights. The book is the result of a project by the 'Transnational Trade Union Rights' experts Network (TTUR), linked to the European Trade Union Institute (ETUI).

The Art Law Library

This open access book investigates the role played by copyright on the digitisation of cultural heritage from three angles: the theoretical differences between cultural property law and copyright; a comparative analysis of the EU, UK, and US; and analysis of current practices and concerns, based on empirical research. As heritage digitisation projects become increasingly common for purposes such as preservation and access, the impact of copyright is also becoming more problematic. In order to provide a full and current picture of the copyright problem, the book first introduces the reader to the debates on the scope and ownership of cultural heritage and provides an overview of the copyright implications of the digitisation process and newer uses, including 2D and 3D scanning; virtual and augmented reality; text and data mining; and artificial intelligence. The author then divides the main critical analysis into three parts, referred to as the 'clashes with copyright'. The first, clash in theory, lies between cultural property law and copyright justification theories. The second clash is in the different legal approaches to digitising in-copyright, public domain, orphan, out-of-commerce and unpublished works in the chosen jurisdictions, focusing on the relevant rights and defences. The third clash is in the interests of stakeholders, based on public reactions to existing projects and cases, supported by interviews with heritage professionals engaging in digitisation. By placing itself in this particular intersection of law, heritage, and technology, the book will be of interest to both intellectual property academics and cultural heritage professionals. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

Clashes with Copyright Law

Digitising Cultural Heritage

Synthetic Media, Deepfakes, and Cyber Deception: Attacks, Analysis, and Defenses introduces the only analytical Synthetic Media Analysis Framework (SMAF) to help describe cyber threats and help security professionals anticipate and analyze attacks. This framework encompasses seven dimensions: Credibility, Control, Medium, Interactivity, Familiarity, Intended Target, and Evocation. Synthetic media is a broad term that encompasses the artificial manipulation, modification, and production of information, covering a spectrum from audio-video deepfakes to text-based chatbots. Synthetic media provides cyber attackers and scammers with a game-changing advantage over traditional ROSE attacks because they have the potential to convincingly impersonate close associates through text, imagery, voice, and video. This burgeoning threat has yet to be meaningfully addressed through any written treatment on the topic. The book is co-authored by three cyber influence and deception experts who have gained deep knowledge and experience on the topic through diverse, true operational pathways and backgrounds. The diversity and perspectives of the author team makes the content in the book the broadest and deepest treatment of synthetic media attacks available to readers.
