Young Jennifer: The Law, Society, and
Politics of Entertainment in Britain

The Law, Society, and Politics of Entertainment in Britain

Regulation or Self-Censorship?

“Insanely big-hearted.” —The Washington Post “Electric.” —The New York Times “Tender, immersive, and thrilling." —Gabrielle Zevin, author of Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow "One of the best novels I’ve ever read about friendship.” —Stephen King, #1 bestselling author In this story of intense friendship and grit, two down-and-out teens escape their lives and chase a different future through rock-climbing -- from the New York Times bestselling author of My Absolute Darling. Dan and Tamma are two teenagers in their last year of high school in the southern Mojave Desert. One is a gifted golden child, the other a mouthy burnout. Climbing boulders in trash-strewn parking lots during cold desert nights, they seal their unique bond and dream of a life of adventure. As the year progresses and adult reality looms, they are rocked by change and pulled apart by irreconcilable obligations. Differences of class, talent, and prospects take on new importance; options dwindle, and their decisions grow ever more consequential and perilous. It feels inevitable, finally, that something must give. With a magnificent gift for nature writing and a joyful appreciation for the redemptive power of friendship, Gabriel Tallent gives readers a rollicking, adrenaline-filled, and soul-searching novel about risking everything to change your life.

A Novel

Crux

Hart Studies in Constitutional Law

This book provides the most complete history of the Regency Acts and Counsellors of State ever undertaken. Using documents from the National Archives, the book outlines why the position was created in the early 20th century, how the question of a regency and Counsellors of State became entangled with the abdication of Edward VIII, and how the position became a crucial feature of the reign of Elizabeth II. Counsellors of State were a little-known part of the constitutional monarchy. Yet, recently, the role has attracted public scrutiny as Princes Harry and Andrew remain Counsellors despite their withdrawal from public life. Counsellors can deputise for the monarch when they are overseas or unwell, ensuring that the monarchy can continue to fulfil its constitutional functions. The book explains the role of Counsellors and the legal and practical problems surrounding their functions. It also discusses the problems with how the Regency Acts provide for a regent. The reign of Charles III raises important questions both for the present and the future. The King is known to favour a "slimmed down", more flexible, modern monarchy. Reforming the positions of Counsellors of State and regent could be part of this. Should the position be used to smooth the transition to William V? Should the British monarchy follow examples from other monarchies in Europe and allow a monarch to retire with the heir to the throne acting as regent? The book concludes with suggested reforms to ensure that the modern monarchy continues to fulfil its constitutional duties.

Regency, Counsellors of State, and the Future of the Modern Monarchy

A rulebook for tackling phone overuse and reclaiming our lives Phones are bad for us. They are making us nearsighted, causing painful back and neck problems, and robbing us of the sleep and physical activity necessary for robust physical and mental health. Worse still, they are driving a widespread rise in depression, self-harm and suicide, especially among young people. Yet, even if we know that there's an urgent collective need to get off our phones, we are stymied by the scale of the problem and by the many highly addictive ways in which our phones distract us, delight us and pull us back in. Phone Rules is part of the movement to disrupt phone overuse, showing us how we can wean ourselves off our devices. Investigative journalist Luc Rinaldi gives us a playbook of five insightful rules to resist our phones, along with helpful strategies to put them into action. He is not merely an outside observer trying to understand 'kids these days', but a tech-savvy, video game-playing, millennial member of the generation for whom the Phone Rules most urgently apply. This is our invitation to join the resistance. Together we can discover new mental space and productivity, deepen our engagement with the people and things that matter most and reclaim our lives.

Financial Relief After Foreign Divorce

Should we give up privacy to fight disease, for national security, or to help train AI systems? Recent crises, from the Covid-19 pandemic to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, from Gaza and Afghanistan to the seemingly unstoppable rise of AI, have put privacy under severe pressure. Privacy in Crisis argues the opposite: these crises show that privacy needs to be protected even more. Privacy in Crisis looks at vital current issues: at political manipulation and misinformation, government surveillance, racial tension, hybrid and cyberwarfare (and real wars, such as those in Ukraine and Gaza), the overwhelming power of the internet giants, and surveillance society, and how interference with privacy is key in all of them. It shows how specific crises bring many of these issues together in perfect storms of privacy invasion. The different threats to our privacy revealed by these crises tell parallel stories and are inextricably linked. There are common themes and common technologies - the threats involve the same data, the same profiling systems and the same approaches. In many cases the systems are run or owned by the same small set of companies, controlled by the same few people. Addressing them is difficult but possible - this essential book outlines how.

UK Procurement Legislation

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).

Lessons from Germany and the United Kingdom

From Smart Technologies to Smart Consumer Law

This book looks at how the law allows donors to establish perpetual charitable trusts, bearing the donor's name, and how it rewards and encourages the pursuit of post-mortem identity. It considers the policy questions raised by post-mortem identity. The law in this area is often complex and uncertain, and that legal unpredictably might deter donors from giving. Attention to post-mortem identity suggests that the law should be made as reliable and predictable as possible. This book theorises the motivation for post-mortem identity and works through its legal implications. It considers the even deeper questions in play and the particular problems which surround post-mortem identity. For example, a donor motivated by the prospect of legal immortality might be led towards bad charity. The donor might try to create a vain or prejudiced organisation. The book looks at the context of these issues, the policy challenges faced by the law, and the way in which the rules need to control and limit the donor's wishes.
