Fully updated and revised, this comprehensive and informative textbook provides readers with an overview of current consumer sales law and equips them with a view of how this fast-changing subject has, and will continue to develop through the inclusion of new reform proposals. This book analyzes the interaction of consumer sales law with politics, the appeal of consumer protection to politicians and the influence of the European Union and the EU Directives. It also discusses the removal of consumer sales law from its traditional realm of legal professionals to consumer and debt advisors an

In 1630, the ascension of King James VI of Scotland to the English throne, whereupon he became known as James I, finally united Britain under one rule.If that was not enough, his legacy in Western tradition was secured when he commissioned the standardized translation of the Holy Bible that still bears his name.His descendants, the Stuart dynasty, ruled into the next century, and their family tree includes today’s British monarchy.But these accomplishments offer only half the story of King James I, who frequently indulged in same-sex liaisons.As John MacLeod chronicles in Dynasty, his ne

In this sweeping chronicle, award-winning journalist John Macleod offers an insider’s view of the Scottish Highlands, from the Stone Age to the present day. In this illuminating, wonderfully readable study, John Macleod unfolds the history of the land and people of the Scottish Highlands. From Mesolithic man, through the Celts, the Vikings, and the Lords of the Isles to the Stuart monarch, Macleod examines the terrible events following Culloden and the forced emigrations, the Evangelical Movement, and the Crofter’s War.

We now recognize that mid-ocean ridges are not simple, two-dimensional features, but are instead partitioned into morphologically distinct segments on a variety of scales. Variations in axial morphology reflect differences in the structure of the magma reservoirs and in the nature of mantle upwelling beneath the ridge. Segment ends may be starved of magma, and spreading accommodated by tectonic stretching as well as by magmatic accretion. The location of the magmatic heat source and the distribution of permeability within the segment strongly control the geometry of seawater circulation in the

This classic text addresses one of the most important issues in modern social theory and policy: how social inequality is reproduced from one generation to the next. With the original 1987 publication of Ain’t No Makin’ It Jay MacLeod brought us to the Clarendon Heights housing project where we met the “Brothers” and the “Hallway Hangers.” Their story of poverty, race, and defeatism moved readers and challenged ethnic stereotypes. MacLeod’s return eight years later, and the resulting 1995 revision, revealed little improvement in the lives of these me

Jay MacLeod’s account of how American life looks from the bottom - of anticipated immobility rather than mobility- addresses one of the most important questions in modern social theory and policy: How is class inequality reproduced over generations?.
