Protecting Prisoners
Prisoners are a uniquely vulnerable social group and protecting them from oppressive states has given rise to a complex web of standards generated by a variety of international mechanisms and processes. Protecting Prisoners examines the most detailed and far-reaching set of custodial standards yet devised—those of the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture (CPT)—-and relates them to those of other European and United Nations bodies. The book also examines the reaction of selected Council of Europe member states—-Belgium, France, Hungary, the Netherlands, Turkey, and the United Kingdom—-to the application of those standards in CPT reports. This dual perspective providesa critical insight into the degree to which the development of international human rights law is having a practical impact on the situation of prisoners.

Preventing Torture
In the 19th century the prohibition of judicial torture was celebrated as a triumph of civilization. But in the aftermath of World War II, it was necessary for the international community to re-emphasize, in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, its abhorrence of torture: the proscription of torture became part of international customary law. But torture by agents of contemporary states persists, not least in the heart of Europe where reliance on the use of custody is growing once again. This documentary and empirical study considers in detail the work of the latest actor on the international stage attempting to prevent torture. The European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman and Degrading Treatment or Punishment (the CPT), established in 1989, represents a new phase in international human rights intervention. The Council of Europe member states have given a Strasbourg-based Committee of experts an almost unfettered hand to examine their places of custody and report on what they find. This book is intended for researchers and practitoners of international and human rights law, criminologists and scholars of international relations, members of human rights orga

International Protection of Performers Rights
With the development of technology such as films,sound recordings and the Internet, performers have lost control over the exploitation of their performances. The perceived need to protect performers on an international basis - that is, in states in which they are foreigners - has led to provisions being included in three international instruments (the Rome Convention (1961), TRIPS (1994), and the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty (1996)) that together form an international system of performers' rights. The scope of performers' rights protection is a contentious issue at the international level. The WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty nearly foundered on the issue of the level of protection to be granted to performers whose performances are exploited in films, videos and other audiovisual media; and a Diplomatic Conference held in Geneva in December 2000 failed to reach agreement on the terms of an international instrument protecting such performers. This is the first book in English to provide a comparative analysis of the protection afforded to performers in the international instruments.Although the focus is on establishing whether the international instruments provide an appropriate system of protection, attention is given to the key underlying issues: from whom or from what do performers need protection; can protection for performers be justified; what is a performance? Where appropriate, examples of domestic legislation and cases are drawn from the UK and other common law jurisdictions. This book will be of value to practitioners, academics and to government officials interested in determining the future shape of domestic law. It will also provide interesting and valuable assistance to officials in performers' and producers' unions and guilds.

Battle for Britain
"The Battle for Britain" aims to re-assess the impact of the Second World War upon changes in ideology and social policy in Britain. In particular, it analyzes the mixed and often contradictory pressures influencing the formation of post-war social democratic "consensus" and the expansion of social citizenship under a welfare state. However, whilst in these respects the book offers a social history of the period, the authors' main purpose is to mount a critique of the Thatcher years which have castigated in principle and dismantled in practice the post-war social reconstruction. With hindsight it is suggested that the postwar consensus to 1979 represented an ideological deviation in the history of British class politics and the Conservative party itself until Mrs Thatcher's social and economic policies restored continuity with the ruling assumptions of the past.

Called to Grieve
Everyone takes this journey called life; however, someday that journey must come to an end.Everyone will experience grief in their lifetime, and everyone will face death—whether it’s walking a loved one through the dying process or facing it oneself. No one is alone in this journey. The question is, how do people face grief and grow from it? With the right knowledge and understanding of grief, people can work through it. Death does not have to be scary. It has become institutionalized; now it’s time to bring death back to being a natural part of life that everyone can face without fear.In Called to Grieve, Rev. Tom Evans answers many questions people have about the roller coaster of dying and death, what heaven is like, and how to move through the grieving process to a place where people can live a fulfilled and happy life, unafraid of death.He brings to light the need to grieve, not just for a death but also for other things in life. Based on his thirty-five years of ministry, Rev. Evans helps people understand the physical and spiritual death of the body so they can grieve their loss and move on to have a fulfilled journey on earth and in the hereafter.

Battle for Britain
It is generally accepted that Britain was held together during the second world war by a spirit of national democratic `consensus'. But whose interests did the consensus serve? And how did it unravel in the years immediately after victory? This well observed and powerfully argued book overturns many of our assumptions about the national spirit of 1939-45. It shows that the current return to right-wing politics in Britain was prefigured by ideologies of change during and immediately after the war.

Mapping the Contours of Oppression
Despite all the assertions towards the end of the twentieth century that the literary subject had expired along with the author, the wave of autobiographies published in German after the Wende was a clear indication that, on the contrary, life stories were very much alive. In this study, Owen Evans examines the work of eight authors – Ludwig Harig, Uwe Saeger, Ruth Klüger, Günter de Bruyn, Günter Kunert, Christoph Hein, Grete Weil and Monika Maron – who all published personal texts after 1989 dealing either with life in Nazi Germany or the GDR, and in some cases both. By means of close textual analysis, Evans explores the impact these regimes had on the individuals concerned and the contrasting ways in which the authors handle the autobiographical project. They adopt varying textual strategies to render the self on the page, with some employing overt fiction, and yet in each case, the project was clearly motivated by the need to treat psychological wounds inflicted on the self by totalitarianism. In their mapping of the contours of oppression, the texts at the heart of this study combine to offer a powerful defence of literary autobiography, in Germany at least, as a valuable means of tackling the legacy of totalitarianism.
