For over 30 years, first as a QC, then as a judge, and latterly as a visiting professor of law at Oxford, Stephen Sedley has written and lectured about aspects of the law that do not always get the attention they deserve. His first anthology of essays, Ashes and Sparks, was praised in the New York Times by Ian McEwan for its 'exquisite, finely balanced prose, the prickly humour, the knack of artful quotation and an astonishing historical grasp'. 'You could have no interest in the law,' McEwan wrote, 'and read his book for pure intellectual delight.' The present volume contains more recent articles by Stephen Sedley on the law, many of them from the London Review of Books, and lectures given to a variety of audiences. The first part is concerned with law as part of history - Feste's 'whirligig of time'; the second part with law and rights. The third part is a group of biographical and critical pieces on a number of figures from the legal and musical worlds. The final part is more personal, going back to the author's days at the bar, and then forward to some parting reflections.

Ralph Adam Fine, now an appellate judge in Wisconsin, wrote the primer for all the drug exposés to follow. In a scintillating true story of a drug company's willingness to promote and sell dangerous drugs, he takes us back to the early 1960s when the William S. Merrell Company sold what they hoped would be the blockbuster cholesterol-lowering drug: MER/29. Blinded by the prospect of enormous profits, Merrell lied, especially to physicians prescribing their drug. When physicians began to connect MER/29 to their patients' injuries, including cataracts leading to blindness, Merrell kept on denying—falsely—that their drug was the cause. "The Great Drug Deception" reveals a drug company putting greed before caution. It gives us insightful lessons for anyone taking statins or any drug whose side-effects physicians may not know. Do drug companies continue to mislead doctors and patients the way Merrell did with MER/29? "The Great Drug Deception" gives us valuable clues that we can and should follow when we take any drug. Another book by Fine, "Escape of the Guilty," explains why the criminal justice system does not protect us; it was featured on 60 Minutes and was called "must reading" by The Wall Street Journal.

This book in many ways is a model of legal biography, with a sweeping impact on American law and the economy.

"If a paternity test were done on South Africa's widely admired Constitution, whose DNA would come up? Is the Constitution just a beautiful piece of paper? If Oliver Tambo were alive today, walking around South Africa, would he be pleased with what he saw? In this riveting, direct account of the genesis of South Africa's Constitution, former Justice Albie Sachs answers these crucial questions. In Oliver Tambo's Dream, Sachs writes about the years he spent working under Tambo's leadership in exile preparing for a post-apartheid constitutional order in South Africa and about the extreme crises that were overcome during the post-1990 constitution-making process to arrive at the document we have today. Tackling the burning issues that face our country today, he argues that the Constitution is a framework for struggle and decolonization that can be used to bring about land reform and true equality"--

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. This collection reveals the history of English common law and Empire law in a vastly changing world of British expansion. Dominating the legal field is the Commentaries of the Law of England by Sir William Blackstone, which first appeared in 1765.
