Odiwuor A: Negligence, a Minor's Right
to Abortion, Euthanasia and Confidentia

Negligence, a Minor's Right to Abortion, Euthanasia and Confidentiality in the Doctor-Patient Relationship

English Medical Law Case Studies

Why do we love who we love? Why do we stay in unfulfilling relationships, or stray from rewarding ones? Why do some couples crash and burn while others stay madly in love? In The Intimate Animal, Dr Justin Garcia - one of the world's leading experts on the science of love and sex - reveals that the answer to these questions lies in our evolution. We are biologically wired to connect with each other, yet our inner intimate animal is often at odds with the way we live now. Dr Garcia explains the multiplicity of human sexual and romantic behaviour using cutting-edge research from his team of researchers at the world-leading Kinsey Institute, including: - Why we have evolved to live and die for love - Why searching for 'the one' is futile- Why we are wired for 'social monogamy' but not necessarily 'sexual monogamy'- Why some people are more likely to cheat With practical tips on love and lust - the two biological systems often in painful conflict - The Intimate Animal is the essential, research-backed guide for anyone who wants to forge deeper, more intimate connections in these disconnected times. 'Garcia brings us back to the animal inside to remind us that even when connection, love, and desire feel elusive, it's exactly what we're wired for' Esther Perel, bestselling author of Mating in Captivity 'Fascinating and useful' The Telegraph Magazine 'A thoughtful and well-researched treatise' The Sunday Times

An evolutionary exploration of love, sex and relationships. Dr. Justin Garcia is a world-leading expert on the science of love and sex. In his first book, he explores the multiplicity of human sexual and romantic behaviour, the forces behind our intimacy instincts, and why humans across the globe live and die for love. Our competing evolutionary desires for sex and intimacy create highs and lows in our romantic and sexual lives. The Intimate Animal provides practical tips on love and attraction - two biological systems often in painful conflict - and presents compelling case studies to help deepen and strengthen our relationships. Sharing the knowledge that he has acquired working on the frontlines of modern love and sex research, Dr. Garcia helps us to understand the science behind a spectrum of human intimate experiences. From the intimacy crisis, physical affection, redefining gender roles and courtship norms, to understanding why we stay in abusive relationships and stray from fulfilling ones, this book will help you understand how to successfully look for love and cultivate a rewarding relationship in an ever-changing, high-speed digital age. From infatuation to heartbreak, The Intimate Animal offers us the first evolutionary understanding of the entire life course of our intimate relationships - how we date, mate, break and remake our love lives.

The edited volume explores the building blocks of the new EU Product Liability Directive.

This book is the final research outcome of a two-year interdisciplinary research project which explores the areas of Human Rights, Discourse and Law, and Gender and Sexuality. It analyses the discursive constructions in case law related to sexual, reproductive, and parental rights in selected international and European Courts, including the European Court of Human Rights, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, and the Court of Justice of the European Union, through a legal-linguistic interdisciplinary approach.This book explores the impact of PSB (prejudice, stereotypes, and bias) in human rights judicial discourse as well as anti-PSB strategies adopted by the selected courts. Through a mixed methodology, involving corpus-based analyses, linguists and legal experts investigate key topics in the areas of parenthood, sexuality, and reproduction, including abortion, surrogacy, health-related issues, and sexual violence. Ultimately, this book aims to respond to questions including: can PSB be traced in how judges express their decisions about sexual, reproductive and parental rights involving people sharing a specific gender, sexual orientation, or gender identity? If so, what is the impact and how can we eradicate PSB in discourse and protect against gender- and LGBTIQ+-based PSB, especially in the access to sexual, reproductive, and parental rights?Gianluca Pontrandolfo is Associate Professor of Spanish Language, Translation and Linguistics at&nbsp;University of Trieste, Italy.Carmelo Danisi is Associate Professor of Public International Law at Alma Mater Studiorum - University of Bologna, Italy.

Prejudice, Stereotypes and Bias

Legal-Linguistic Perspectives on Human Rights Judicial Discourse

'The feminist manifesto we should all read - even men' Telegraph 'Honest, brave, and hilariously funny, this is the book on women I've been waiting for' Celia Walden 'Strimpel's challenge to the culture of victimhood and pessimism around young women is well made and worth serious thought' Rt Hon Kemi Badenoch MP, Leader of HM Opposition &amp; Leader of the Conservative Party 'Zoe is a brilliant writer and this is an engaging and fascinating book. Like all the best journalists she dares to question the received thinking passed down to woman by society, in this case liberal feminism. Her ideas are clear, sharp and uncomfortable - every young woman should read it' Camilla Long Women's freedom is in jeopardy. Misogyny is everywhere. Courtship, duty and marriage are dying phenomenons - nails in the coffin to female happiness. Our bodies are an inventory of pain and weakness. Evidently, it is a very bad time to be female. Or so we're told. In Good Slut, Zoe Strimpel examines the myths that submerge women in narratives of victimhood and fragility, instead offering a much-needed dose of realism. Because while women's agency is increasingly under threat by the return of 'traditional' values, fuelled by fear-mongering discourse from both the political left and right, it's unequivocally never been a better time to be a woman. It may be complex terrain, yet women's pain, injustices, experiences and achievements are taken more seriously now than ever before. What's more, the opportunities in free societies are endless: whether sexual freedom, bodily autonomy or financial independence, women can, should and will - if they desire - have it all. Courageous, defiant and incisive in its approach, Good Slut argues that liberation - true liberation - comes not from fear or shame, but from making the most out of the intertwined forces of money, power, and, of course, sex. A fierce celebration of female agency and choice, it is a timely reminder to get back in touch with the joy and freedoms available to us - if only we dare to grasp it.

Speech Acoustics of English as a Second Language is a pioneering study that bridges the science of phonetics with the practice of language teaching. Through rigorous acoustic analysis of prosody, stress, and intonation, the book reveals how first-language interference shapes the acquisition of English in multilingual contexts. It foregrounds underrepresented regional dialects-including Hindko, Brahui, Bagri, Odki, and Marwari-advancing linguistic equity while offering fresh insights into the challenges faced by ESL learners. Combining methodological transparency with accessible exposition, this volume serves as both a scholarly contribution to phonetics and a practical resource for educators, curriculum designers, and researchers. It reshapes our understanding of speech acoustics in second-language learning and provides actionable pathways for improving pedagogy in diverse classrooms. Language is more than words-it is rhythm, melody, and sound. In multilingual societies like Pakistan, where dozens of regional languages coexist, English is often learned as a second language. But how do speakers of Hindko, Bagri, Brahui, Odki, Marwari, and other languages actually sound when they speak English? What subtle shifts in pitch, stress, and vowel quality reveal the influence of their mother tongues? This book, Speech Acoustics of English as Second &amp; First Languages Spoken in Pakistan, answers those questions with clarity and compassion. It is not just a technical study of speech sounds; it is a journey into the voices of Pakistan's diverse communities, showing how language, identity, and education intersect. Speech Acoustics of English as Second &amp; First Languages Spoken in Pakistan sets a new benchmark for inclusive, data-driven approaches to language education. It is a book that listens-to the voices of students, to the rhythms of dialects, and to the needs of educators. By combining precision with empathy, it shows that speech is not just sound-it is identity, culture, and connection. Unlike many academic texts, this book avoids dry technicality.
