Landmark Cases

Part of the iconic Landmark Cases series, this book brings the most significant cases in charity law together for the first time. More than four hundred years have passed since the concept of charity was first given statutory legal form in England in the Statute of Charitable Uses of 1601. This book explores the substantial body of judge-made rules and principles developed since then, highlighting a carefully curated selection of the landmark cases which have shaped charity law. Each chapter analyses one or more judicial decisions, setting them in their historical context, explaining their contemporary importance, and considering their future relevance. The selected cases cover a broad range of topics. Some go to the heart of what it means to be a charity, elucidating charity's legal definition and public benefit requirement. Others demonstrate how charity law has been shaped by its interaction with other bodies of law, including trust law, company law and equality law, and by emerging tensions between trustees' overriding duty to further the charity's purposes and broader moral obligations or ethical considerations. The book has a core focus on English precedents, but the cases are touchstones in many jurisdictions. Our contributors therefore include scholars, judges and practitioners from Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Singapore, as well as from the UK. The result is a book that sheds new light on the application and development of charity law's defining rules and principles across the common law world.

Landmark Cases in Charity Law

An authoritative textbook based on the legendary economics course taught at the University of Chicago—now fully updated and expanded Price theory is a powerful analytical tool kit for measuring, explaining, and predicting market outcomes. This expanded second edition of Chicago Price Theory offers a unique approach to the subject, emphasizing hands-on, practical applications that can help students adeptly integrate economic theory with real-world forces. A key distinction is its focus on market equilibrium and gains from trade. Unlike many microeconomics texts, this book emphasizes how, through markets, households and businesses adapt to conditions like price controls and externalities. It modernizes the Marshallian idea of forward-falling supply, especially for analyzing human capital, and makes use of the cost function and Hicks-Marshall laws to analyze a variety of economic phenomena. Rooted in Chicago’s price theory tradition, this textbook enables students to understand human behavior through the lens of price theory, showing how a small set of well-mastered tools makes it possible to analyze a remarkably wide range of economic questions. <ul><li>Now includes a full chapter closely integrating economic reasoning with the treatment-control paradigm</li><li>Covers topics such as occupational choice, the evolution of inequality, the value of a statistical life, prohibition, and competition</li><li>Uses the economics of “nudges” to understand business contracts and the organization of civil society</li><li>Features analysis of business-to-business transactions</li><li>Discusses the future implications of artificial intelligence</li><li>Comes with lesson plans for minicourses in industrial organization, health economics, macroeconomics, labor, public finance, and urban economics</li><li>Accompanied by video lectures taught by Kevin M. Murphy, Gary Becker, Casey B. Mulligan, and Robert Minton</li></ul>

CUE THE CHAOS. CUT THE LIGHTS. IT'S TIME TO TAKE TO THE STAGE. 🎭 Caraval meets One Dark Window in the spellbinding new enemies-to-lovers fantasy set in a mysterious theatre where godlike creatures run the show and mortals compete for immortality. 🖤 🔥 'DARK FANTASY AT ITS MOST INTOXICATING' #1 New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout 🔥 -- The gods are dead. All that's left are the Players . . . The performers of the Playhouse are as worshipped as they are feared, their enchanting shows bending hearts, minds, and even reality itself. Vicious, godlike, lethal. Eighteen-year-old Riven Hesper knows the dangers better than anyone, after her own encounter with a Player resulted in a curse that is slowly killing her. When the Playhouse announces the spectacle of a lifetime - a chance for one mortal to steal a Player's immortality - Riven sees her last chance to live. Desperate for answers, she infiltrates the competition. There, she finds Jude, the Playhouse's brilliant, merciless Lead Player, whose charm is as dangerous as his Craft, and strikes a deadly bargain to save her life. But with time running out and the Playhouse's secrets unraveling into a disturbing picture, Riven faces a grim possibility: she might not be the hero of her story after all. In fact, she may be the villain. Because the Playhouse doesn't just tell stories. It rewrites them. And Riven's might end in blood.

This book provides a novel framework for adapting tort law to the challenges of artificial intelligence (AI) in all of its forms-from machine learning to generative models to autonomous and agentic systems.Centered on a liability matrix, this book maps AI systems into four zones according to their private and public risks and benefits, and it prescribes tailored liability mechanisms for each. These range from flexible, fault-based models with safe harbors for low-risk, high-benefit technologies, to strict liability, rebuttable presumptions of causation and even moratoriums for systems that pose grave public dangers without delivering corresponding public value. Combining rigorous doctrinal analysis with practical policy tools, the book addresses complex issues such as fault attribution, causation, compensable harm, evidentiary burdens and distributed responsibility.Clear, concise and globally relevant, this book provides an adaptable approach that courts, policy makers and industry leaders can apply to real-world AI governance. It will appeal to legal scholars, postgraduate students, regulators, judges and AI governance specialists seeking to understand-and shape-how tort law can both protect society and enable responsible innovation in the age of AI.

AI and Tort Liability

This innovative textbook edited by international experts in technology law and policy provides a comprehensive and accessible guide into the fast-evolving landscape of technology law and policy in the UK and the EU. The recent wave of regulatory reforms adopted by UK and EU regulators increases the complexity of Internet law as it had developed in the past decades. Recognising the ever-growing importance of artificial intelligence in today's public discourse, the textbook extends beyond traditional legal sectoral frameworks, and explores the intersection of law, technology, and public policy to describe and critically reflect on current and emerging issues in the modern information society. This exploration follows thematic areas of interest, such as adtech, privacy by design, predictive policing, and social media, while also providing accessible historical overviews of how policy has developed in specific fields including platform liability, copyright, or data protection, and case studies on key topics. The companion website provides multimedia resources to delve deeper into specific topics; introductory materials for readers that are unfamiliar with the EU legal system; and teaching resources. Law, Policy, and the Internet is an essential resource for anyone seeking to navigate the complexities of internet regulation in an era of exponential technological change.

This book provides a clear and accessible introduction to industrial economics, designed to help readers understand how markets and firms operate in theory and practice. 
Beginning with the benchmark model of perfect competition, the book explains why economists use this idealized structure to assess efficiency and consumer welfare. The book examines real-world market structures—monopoly, oligopoly, and monopolistic competition—where firms exercise strategic power over prices and output. Chapters explore how companies compete, cooperate, and innovate, drawing on case-based examples to illustrate the dynamics of market behavior. The text also addresses regulation and competition policy, tracing the origins of antitrust legislation and presenting tools for measuring market power. These chapters equip readers to evaluate policy interventions and their implications for business strategy and consumer outcomes.
In its final section, the book turns to the economics of information, focusing on contract theory and the principal–agent problem. It demonstrates how incentives and asymmetric information shape decision-making within firms and markets, offering insights into governance and organizational design.
Combining rigorous analysis with practical applications, this book is an essential resource for undergraduate and graduate students in economics and business, as well as for readers seeking to understand the forces that shape modern industry.

From the world's leading expert on negotiation, an essential guide to negotiating in any situation--whether over Zoom, across political and cultural divides, or during a supply chain crisis The world has changed dramatically in just the past few years--and so has the game of negotiation. COVID-19, Zoom, political polarization, the online economy, increasing economic globalization, and greater workplace diversity--all have transformed the who, what, where, and how of negotiation. Today, traditional negotiating tactics, while still effective, need to be tailored to vastly different situations and circumstances. In Negotiation: The Game Has Changed, legendary Harvard Business School professor Max Bazerman, a pioneer in the field of negotiation, shows you how to negotiate successfully today by adapting proven negotiation principles and strategies to the challenging new contexts you face--from negotiating across cultural and political differences to trying to reach an agreement over Zoom or during a supply chain crisis. Negotiation offers a groundbreaking new way of thinking about the importance of the unique context of any negotiation--and when and how it should influence how you negotiate. At the same time, the book provides a concise and expert overview of essential negotiating techniques for anyone new to the subject or who wants a refresher. The result is a must-read--a powerful toolkit for successfully negotiating in a world where the game of negotiation has changed.

This book examines postwar Italian craft and design (1948-1962) through a multidisciplinary lens, reassessing its significance today. It explores the enduring appeal of artifacts within and beyond museum contexts, emphasizing their role as dynamic tools that transcend historical value. Addressing future challenges, the book highlights their relevance in enriching society, supporting creative industries, and aligning with UNESCO’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Building on seminal exhibitions such as "Il Design Italiano Degli Anni ’50" (Milan, 1981), "Anni Cinquanta" (Milan, 2005), and "Il Modo Italiano" (Montreal-Toronto-Rovereto, 2006-2007), the book underscores the pivotal role of 1950s design in shaping Italy’s postwar renewal. It testifies to the emergence of a vibrant creative world rooted in cultural heritage and sustained by networks of artisans, manufacturers, artists, designers, and architects – each contributing to an interconnected and territorially grounded design culture. Organized into three thematic sections, it explores the uniqueness of Italian design (Section 1: On the Uniqueness of Italian Design), archival practices (Section 2: Archives for Memory and the Future), and exhibition strategies (Section 3: Made in Italy on Display Inside and Outside Museums). The book advocates for innovative strategies in data and memory sharing to enhance the understanding and appreciation of Italy’s cultural assets, ensuring their continued relevance while maintaining their connection to local identities and production practices. Drawing on case studies, experts from diverse fields – including architecture, museums, decorative arts, craft, product and interior design – examine Italian craftsmanship’s heritage and its connections to local communities. Their essays illustrate how interdisciplinary enquiries converge into a unified narrative, benefiting from modern approaches to preservation, communication, exhibition, and promotion across physical, digital, and virtual experiences. The book also addresses practical concerns for individuals, industries, archives, museums, and cultural institutions. It provides insights into best practices for presenting design artifacts, leveraging social media for engagement, and fostering partnerships to amplify the impact of cultural initiatives. Emphasizing community participation and cross-sector collaboration, it emphasizes the importance of sustaining Italy’s design legacy. Beyond academia and professional circles, the book engages a wider audience by raising public awareness of Italy’s cultural heritage and its nature for future generations. It suggests strategies for mitigating overtourism, enhancing engagement with Italy’s design heritage, and developing sustainable tourism initiatives that support local communities. By demonstrating the lasting influence of Italian craftsmanship and design, the book positions heritage as a living tradition that continues to shape contemporary life.
