Criminal law
Weaver R.L.,This interactive criminal law casebook continues the tradition of our prior criminal law casebook (which went through four editions), but enhanced that tradition by moving to an interactive format. As with the prior books, our primary goal is to create a "teacher's book"-a book that contains thought provoking problems (referred to as "hypos" in the Interactive Casebook Series) designed to stimulate thought and produce interesting classroom discussion. The hypos are woven throughout the chapters and are designed to help students learn doctrine, illuminate trends in the law, and ultimately produce better learning. A secondary goal was to include a focus on teaching "skills." Some of the problems place students in practical situations that they are likely to encounter in practice, and therefore encourage students to think about how they might handle those situations in real-life.

Advanced macroeconomics
Romer D.,An Introduction to the Study of Macroeconomics at an Advanced Level The fourth edition of Romer's Advanced Macroeconomics presents the major theories concerning the central questions of macroeconomics. In areas ranging from economic growth and short-run fluctuations to the natural rate of unemployment and fiscal policy, formal models are used to present and analyze key ideas and issues. The theoretical analysis is supplemented by examples of relevant empirical work, illustrating the ways that theories can be applied and tested. The book has been revised more extensively than ever before. There are changes throughout to incorporate new research, eliminate inessential material, and further improve the presentation Key revisions include: There are now separate chapters on endogenous growth (Chapter 3) and cross-country income differences (Chapter 4). Chapter 3 includes a careful presentation of Paul Romer's now-classic model of endogenous technological change, and Chapter 4 takes the reader to the frontiers of empirical research on the underlying sources of the enormous differences in standards of living among countries Chapters 6 and 7 on short-run fluctuations when prices are not fully flexible have been completely redone. The analysis is grounded in microeconomic foundations from the outset. The chapters build from simple models to the canonical three-equation new Keynesian model (the new Keynesian IS curve, the new Keynesian Phillips curve, and an interest rate rule) and the ingredients of modern dynamic stochastic general-equilibrium models of fluctuations. The revisions to Chapters 6 and 7 carry over to the analysis of monetary policy in Chapter 11. This chapter has been entirely reorganized and includes a careful treatment of optimal policy in forward-looking models. An epilogue describes some of the main issues that the financial and macroeconomic crisis that began in 2008 raises for macroeconomics and discusses how the crisis may change the field.

Criminal law
Lafave W.,The present volume is an updated version of the hornbook most recently published in its Sixth Edition under the authorship of the legendary Wayne R. LaFave. The Sixth Edition, like its predecessors, included the work not only of LaFave but also of Professor Austin W. Scott, Jr., who collaborated with Professor LaFave on the first edition of this hornbook. In this Seventh Edition, I have endeavored to take into account all developments in the field of criminal law as of January 2023. Some of the recent changes are relatively minor, while others, such as California's repeal of the felony murder rule, are comparatively significant. But in either case, the DNA of this new volume remains essentially unaltered: the brilliant vision executed primarily by Professor LaFave.

Intellectual property law
Bently L.,Advocating for more standardised data governance practices and promoting the digital economy, Data Governance in Al, FinTech and LegalTech investigates the rationale, legal base and tools of data governance in the financial sector. This timely book makes a significant contribution to the debate around how rapidly-evolving digital finance practices should be regulated. Contributions from leading researchers examine a range of financial services, offering a comprehensive assessment of the available tools for constructing multi-layered matrix systems for data governance in the financial services sector. Chapters explore data governance in the cryptocurrency market, crypto-asset providers, legal services for mergers and acquisitions, consumer insurance, consumer finance, digital platform services, securities exchanges and the green bond market. The book serves to define the legal contours of data governance, taking account of the influence of shifting business models, the views of multiple stakeholders and emerging issues surrounding data protection, privacy and cybersecurity. This is a crucial read for scholars of law and finance who are researching data regulation, data governance and financial market law. Exploring both the opportunities and risks arising from the digital transformation of financial markets, it will also be invaluable for practitioners and policy makers working in the financial sector, law, risk management and compliance.

International Human Rights Law
Olivier De Schutter,How do you keep students motivated when their perception of a subject conflicts with the reality of its academic study? International human rights law, unquestionably an exciting field, is also complex and demanding. In his breakthrough textbook, De Schutter focuses on international human rights law as global legal system, rather than as a collection of different (though related) rights, giving it relevance and immediacy. Drawing on cases and materials from a wide range of sources, it shows how human rights law is used as a tool to address contemporary issues such as counter-terrorism, global poverty and religious diversity. Materials are organised thematically, allowing readers to make comparisons and connections between different legal treaties and systems. Students can also easily assess how human rights are protected under domestic and international laws. The law is placed in context throughout, ensuring full understanding of why laws exist and how they work.

Physiological plant ecology
Larcher W.,A richly illustrated text now in its third edition, Physiological Plant Ecology explores the vital processes of plants in interaction with the environment. Focusing on the way different plant species and functional types react in various locations and in all climatic zones, this well-known text has been widely recognised for its clarity and accurate synthesis of a vast body of research. It offers insight into the laws governing the carbon, nitrogen, mineral and water balance as well as the development, vital capacity and adaptability of plants. Entirely revised and enlarged - while keeping the superb illustrations and tables that drew praise in earlier editions - it is ideal for students in biology, ecology and geography, and in agricultural and forestry sciences.
