'This new edition tells you all you need to know about how construction defects in homes occur, how they might be prevented, and how they might be cured.' &gt;The first edition of Residential Construction Law in 2021 offered the only systematic and analytical overview of the legal framework for residential construction. Since then, there have been significant legislative and caselaw developments across the UK, Aotearoa New Zealand, Australia and Ireland. In this second edition, the authors and their team of specialist contributors have completely revised the content, taking these changes into account. This new edition refers to more than 350 new cases, along with ground-breaking reforms like the UK's Building Safety Act 2022 and lessons from the September 2024 Phase 2 report of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry. The book also anticipates planned reforms, including sweeping changes in several Australian states. &gt;Accompanying online resources for this title can be found at bloomsbury.pub/residential-construction-law

In a movement-defining book, the "godmother of the current moment of dissatisfaction with establishment politics" (The New York Times) tells the story of the rising anti-monopoly movement and charts a course to a democratic future In a short, sharp political book, The Nation magazine's "Anti-Monopolist" columnist and "a prophet of the resurgent left" (Franklin Foer) explains the battle between the forces of oligarchy and the rise of the new anti-monopoly movement. Using the stories of modern anti-monopoly heroes including Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan; blueberry farmer Hugh Kent, who turned his battle with Driscoll's into a farmers' movement; and Doha Mekki, the daughter of a Sudanese asylum seeker who took on Google and won; Teachout explains how anti-monopoly cuts across traditional political lines and gives real teeth to economic populism.Teachout, a scholar of the law of democracy and a politician whose run for governor of New York State shocked the political establishment, argues that monopoly is the architecture of private tyranny, and that breaking corporate power is essential to building a new democracy. From AI to agriculture, healthcare to energy, Americans understand that corporate concentration doesn't just cause inequality; it organizes power. Anti-Monopoly gives that feeling a name, a history, and a way forward. After a spate of books out of the Abundance movement arguing that we need to remove local democracy and focus on efficiency at scale, this book provides a sharp counterpoint.

Deep Decarbonization of Modern Energy Networks for Climate-Energy-Sustainability Nexus

This book is a critical examination of the legal and regulatory frameworks that govern modern sport, questioning whether the ideals of fairness and a 'level playing field' extend beyond the pitch into the boardrooms where decisions are made.
Focusing on the self-regulation model prevalent in the UK and its global influence, Jonathan G. Merritt explores the intersection of sport and law through detailed analysis of statutes, case law, and legal principles. The book interrogates whether contemporary sports governance serves the interests of its primary stakeholders-players, athletes, and spectators-or those of a powerful ruling elite. By drawing on themes from politics, sociology, and religion, it exposes the deeper power dynamics at play and challenges the assumption that law in sport consistently upholds justice and equality. This is an essential resource for scholars of sports law, governance, and socio-legal studies.

Nothing to Do with Fair Play

A Socio-Legal Critique of Sports Regulation

The skills that built your business will destroy it if you don't evolve.

You created value by operating, deciding, and leading from the front. But companies that depend on founders die with them - not from competition, but from continuity failure. The hardest shift in business isn't growth. It's stepping back from operations while ensuring strategic discipline that outlives you.

Most owners get this transition wrong. They cling to running the company or walk away entirely. Both choices destroy value.

Whether you're an owner stepping back, a CEO navigating ownership dynamics, a board member seeking oversight clarity, a CFO bridging operations and ownership, or a family office protecting generational wealth-this is your evolution manual. Not theory-systems. Not advice-architecture. Not wishful thinking-what actually endures.

You'll learn how to:

Shape strategy without running execution
Judge CEOs and management without interference
Build succession that sustains value, not personalities
Allocate capital with discipline that outlasts leadership
Create governance that protects performance across generations

Ownership is not a reward for building a business.

It is a responsibility to protect what survives without you.

How Non-Executive Owners Build Companies That Outlive Them
