The book examines the practice of judicial reasoning in Tort law, understood as a process of justification, consisting of both deductive and non-deductive elements, and therefore involving a significant element of choice or discretion. The book divides the elements of judicial reasoning into four conceptual categories: factual assessments, application of legislative and judge-made rules, reliance on reasonableness, and policy considerations. To discuss these elements in a comparative perspective the book uses the English and French judicial traditions of Tort law as case studies. This enables the author to present a range of methods of establishing facts, drawing inferences, using legal sources and relying on policy arguments. By closely examining selected Tort judgments from both jurisdictions, the book elucidates the phenomenon of law-making through adjudication in both a non-codified and a codified system of liability. It offers a reflection on different approaches legal systems may adopt to the importance in the process of judicial justification of such issues as certainty and truth, common sense, consistency with previous judicial decisions and policy.
The book connects the choice of approaches in judicial reasoning in Tort law with its procedural and institutional context.

This book examines the practice of judicial reasoning in Tort law. Drawing on comparative examples from the French judicial tradition, it connects the choice of approaches in judicial reasoning with its procedural and institutional context.

Symphony of Monsters

'A beguiling portrait... reminds us that, ideologically and culturally, Morès anticipates the tragedies of the 20th century, and also those of today' The Times One of the most anticipated books of the year according to Financial Times and New Statesman The extraordinary story of the nineteenth-century French-Italian aristocrat Marquis de Morès, the father of fascism, and his ominous legacy In nineteenth-century France, the first fascist was born. Decades before Mussolini, the Marquis de Morès became the first populist and openly antisemitic leader in the Western world. A key figure behind the Dreyfus affair, he tore France apart with his inflammatory media rhetoric and violent stunts. Who was this man, who both anticipated and propelled the fascist politics that erupted in the twentieth century? Drawing on a wealth of original sources, award-winning historian Sergio Luzzatto explores the forgotten story of a father of fascism. He shows how, after losing aristocratic status in modern, democratic France, Morès led an adventurous life cattle ranching on the American frontier and building a railway in the jungles of Indochina - yet found all his schemes dogged by failure. He follows in Morès's footsteps, as, blaming supposed Jewish machinations for his defeats, he returned to France and soon controlled a large, violent militia of disgruntled workers. Even when his rapid political rise was torpedoed by a highly publicized financial scandal, his shadow continued to loom. In Vichy France, as Jewish people were being deported to Auschwitz, officials would gather to celebrate Morès's memory. Vivid and unsettling, The First Fascist is an engrossing exploration of the roots of our present discontent.

The First Fascist

Lusty, dark, queer fantasy - The Red Winter is perfect for fans of The Witcher and Susanna Clarke. Inspired by the eighteenth-century legend of the Beast of Gévaudan. 'Charming, haunting, ambitious' - T. KINGFISHER, author of Nettle &amp; Bone A devastating love story. A bewitching twist on history. A blood-drenched hunt for purpose, power and redemption. In 1785, Professor Sebastian Grave receives the news he fears most: the terrible Beast of Gévaudan has returned, and the French countryside runs red in its wake. Sebastian knows the Beast. A monster-slayer with centuries of experience, he joined the hunt for the creature twenty years ago and watched it slaughter its way through a long and bloody winter. Even with the help of Sarmodel, the demon he plays host to, bringing the monster down nearly cost him his life. Now, two decades later, Sebastian has been recalled to the hunt by Antoine Avenel d'Ocerne, an estranged lover who shares a dark history with the Beast and a terrible secret with Sebastian. Drawn by both the chance to finish the Beast for good and the promise of a reconciliation with Antoine, Sebastian cannot refuse. Some monsters, it seems, simply won't stay buried . . . 'An absolute feast of a book: rich, red, sinfully delicious' - ALIX E. HARROW, author of Starling House

The Red Winter

'An epic account ... myth-busting ... Bull writes with knightly brio and packs a great deal of local and global history into his authoritative book' Pratinav Anil, The Times A major new history of the epic siege of the island fortress of Malta Even as the great siege began it was understood by both sides to be an epic - a potentially decisive encounter between an uneasy assortment of soldiers, native Maltese, adventurers and Knights Hospitaller on a strategically crucial but near waterless island and a vast, seemingly all-powerful Ottoman armada. With three quarters of the Mediterranean's coasts already in the hands of the Sultan and his allies, all eyes were now on Malta. This superb new account of the siege emphasises the crucial importance of the siege while at the same time putting it in a far wider context. While since mistakenly recast as a climactic battle between the West and the East, it was also much more interesting and nuanced than that - both sides had many other interests and priorities beyond Malta. Süleyman the Magnificent had conquered and subsumed regions from Hungary to the Persian Gulf; Philip II was building an empire in America and Asia. Drawing on a wide range of eyewitness stories, Marcus Bull gives a vivid sense of the period's technologies, values and assumptions. It was a grim world built on the labour of many thousands of disposable galley-slaves, shockingly brutal forms of warfare and religious absolutism. But it was also a world filled with the most extraordinary new discoveries and ideas. Both these worlds come together in the siege and in this book.

To Run the World

In the wake of her father's death, Agathe leaves New York and returns to her childhood home in the French countryside, after fifteen years away. Agathe and her sister Véra have not seen each other in all that time apart. Now, they must empty their home before it is knocked down. Véra stopped speaking when she was six, and as the pair clean and sift through a lifetime's worth of belongings, old memories and resentments surface. Tender, melancholic and evocative, The Old Fire is Elisa Shua Dusapin's graceful and profound exploration of how loss and grief can live along­side life and abundance.

The Old Fire

This book considers Section 21 of the Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Act 1857 and its significant impact on previously invisible married women in the 19th century.

Tens of thousands of women used this little-known section of the Act to apply for orders from local magistrates' courts to reclaim their rights of testation, inheritance, property ownership, and (dependent on local franchise qualifications) ability to vote. By examining the orders that were made and considering the women who applied for them, the book challenges the mistaken belief that Victorian England and Wales were nations of married, cohabiting couples. 

The detailed statistical analysis and rich case studies presented here provide a totally new perspective on the legal status and experiences of married women in England and Wales. Although many thousands of orders were granted between 1858 and 1900, their details remain unknown and unexamined, primarily because census records did not consistently record dissolved marriages and there is no central index of applications made.

Using sources including court records, parliamentary papers, newspaper reports, census returns, probate records and trade directories, this book reconstructs the successful - and unsuccessful - experiences of women applying to magistrates' courts and the Court for Divorce and Matrimonial Causes to protect their assets across regions and decades.

‘For Wives Alone’

Deserted Wives and Economic Divorce in 19th-Century England and Wales

Capitalism has shaped the world in ways both visible and hidden. It structures how we live, how we work, and how we assign value to people and resources. In The Ends of the Earth, Franco Paz explores the rise of global capitalism through a history of labour, slavery, and environmental extraction, showing how the modern world was built on the coerced work of millions across continents. From the iron mines of Russia to the sugar plantations of the Caribbean, from Iberian salt works to New England fisheries, the labour of workers in one region made possible the exploitation of others. Raw materials, commodities, and human effort moved through vast planetary networks, connecting lives, economies, and environments in ways that reshaped the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and continue to shape our world today. Decentring traditional Eurocentric narratives, Paz reveals the human and ecological costs behind the wealth and power we take for granted. With vivid storytelling and meticulous research, The Ends of the Earth challenges readers to confront the enduring legacies of inequality, extraction, and exploitation that underpin contemporary capitalism.

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER'I will recommend to everyone' Alastair Campbell___________________________________How could the Nazis have committed the crimes they did?Why did they willingly - often enthusiastically - oversee mass murder?How did ordinary Germans tolerate the removal of Jewish people?And how do we ensure it never happens again?Bestselling author Laurence Rees combines history and the latest psychological research to help answer the most perplexing questions surrounding the Holocaust and the Nazi state. Through the lens of 'twelve warnings' - from talk about 'them' and 'us' to the escalation of racism - Rees delves into the darkness to explain how and why people were capable of such horrors. Using previously unpublished testimony from former Nazis and cutting-edge psychological discoveries, THE NAZI MIND is a revelatory new way of understanding the most appalling crimes of the 20th century that highlights the warning signs we need to look out for in leaders today. ___________________________________'A brilliant piece of work: learned, compelling and frankly terrifying' James Holland, Daily Telegraph'[A] superb, complex study' Christopher Hart, Daily Mail'Enthralling and chilling . . . compulsive reading' Robert McCrum, Independent
