Among the many new skills law students have to acquire, using legal method and solving legal problems are possibly the most important. Yet all too often these legal skills are ignored, and it is assumed that students will acquire them as they progress through their course.
Learning Legal Rules brings together the theory, structure, and practice of legal reasoning in a readily accessible style. The book explains how to uncover and exploit the mysteries of legal materials. This is then used to draw the student into the techniques of legal analysis and argument and the operation of precedent and statutory interpretation. Throughout the book the authors also examine the importance of human rights and the permeating influence of EC.

Burnaby Frederick — On Horseback Through Asia Minor, 1996 год

On Horseback Through Asia Minor - Burnaby Frederick

Oxford University Press / —
— Gripping adventure story, in the tradition of Peter Hopkirk’s classic books on Central Asia
— Colourful and opinionated descriptions of the people Burnaby encountered — not only an adventure story, but a fascinating cultural document of its time
— First published in 1898; now reissued by popular demand
In the savage winter of 1876 Captain Frederick Burnaby rode 1,000 miles eastwards from Constantinople to see for himself what the Russians were up to in this remote corner of the Great Game battelfield. With wars between Turkey and Russia imminent, he wanted to discover, among other things, whether the Sultan’s armies were capable of resisting a determined Tsarist thrust towards Constantinople.
Frederick Gustav Burnaby was no ordinary officer. For a start he was reputed to be the strongest man in the British Army. Nor was he all brawn, being fluent in seven languages and possessing a vigorous and colourful prose style—as readers of this Great Game classic will discover.
With his servant Radford, he spent five months riding across some of the cruellest winter landscape in the world before hastening home to write this best-seller.

Dam Cees Van — European Tort Law, 2006 год

European Tort Law - Dam Cees Van

Oxford University Press / —
— Brings together French, German and English tort law, European Community tort law and the case law of the European Court of Human Rights
— Gives a concise and up to date account of how the various tort law systems work and how they are intertwined
— Examines the relationships between cultures and policies of the different systems
This is the first textbook on European tort law. It provides insight into the differences and commonalities between the tort law systems of various European jurisdictions, bringing together national tort law, comparative law, Community law and human rights law.
The author shows that European tort law is still a matter of diversity rather than harmony, particularly at policy level. However, he also underlines that Community law and the European Convention on Human Rights are powerful engines for harmonization. For this reason, European tort law is of growing importance for practitioners and academics as European integration progresses.
The first part of the book (Systems of Liability ) provides an overview of the state of affairs of the tort law systems of France, Germany and England, and of the European Union. In a concluding chapter the author compares the various rules, cultures and policies of the legal systems and demonstrates the need for a European policy discourse.
The second part (Requirements of Liability ) analyzes and compares the requirements for liability in the various tort law systems: protected interests, intention and negligence, breach of statutory duty, stricter rules of liability, causation, damage, damages, and contributory negligence.
The final part (Categories of Liability ) also assumes a comparative and supranational point of view. It shows how national and European rules are applied in a number of categories, such as liability of public bodies, liability for defective products, motor vehicles, employees, children, premises and highways, and for environmental damage.
The book is written in a concise yet clear style. Brief accounts of numerous cases elucidate the breadth and depth of European tort law.

Dowling — The Art and Science of Marketing

1 августа, 2012 / Автор статьи: admin
The Art and Science of Marketing - Dowling

Oxford University Press / —
— Views marketing as both an art, learnt through practice, and a science, studied through research
— Provides an integrated approach to build a marketing plan
— Focuses on creating and capturing customer value
— Critical review of some of the newer marketing fads
— Uses case studies and examples from such firms as Dell and Benetton
— Author has extensive experience of MBA and Executive teaching
If your organization has customers, you need to understand marketing. And to achieve the best results from your marketing requires a subtle blend of art and science. It can also benefit from recommendations for practice rather than lists of options from which to choose.
The art of marketing comes from the doing of marketing — implementing programs to attain and retain customers, and seeing what actually works. This is the province of marketing managers, direct marketers, advertisers, and consultants. The examples of good and bad practice used throughout this book illustrate this approach. The science of marketing comes from research — about markets, customers, competitors, and how effectively various types of marketing programs work. This is the province of academics and market researchers.
The science of marketing provides the foundations for good marketing practice. Sometimes this science is ignored in the rush to embrace new ideas and technologies. For example, the long scientific history of the adoption and diffusion of innovations says that the Internet will take a long time to fundamentally change the way large numbers of customers buy their products and services. If more managers and investors had understood this, then many dot.coms would not have become dot.bombs.
This book blends art and science to provide insight for marketing managers about how to implement marketing more effectively to both create and capture the value of the offers they make to their target customers. In the process it questions the usefulness of some of the more recent marketing fads.
