A Matter of Principle.......2000-07-28

This 6 volume reference (published in black and white) clearly describes 500 careers: what people do; what education/training is required; how much people earn; where to get more information (although more web addresses are needed). I especially liked this resource's highlighting of how specific careers are interconnected.

My main reservation is that the photographs in this resource could cause children to feel excluded. Only 41 of the 500 photographs (each career has a picture) showed African Americans in a leading role (17 of the 41 depicted manual skills) and only 5 photographs showed Asian Americans in a leading role (a computer programmer, a computer networker and an acupuncturist account for 3 of the 5).

In the Index I found "School principles. See school administrators." Startling for a children's encyclopedia.

Book Description

Mental disability has come of age as a subject of concern under the European Convention on Human Rights. It was only in 1979 that the first significant decision of the ECHR was decided on the subject, and after that, cases were relatively few for many years. It is only recently that this has begun to change. This volume provides an account of where the law currently stands and speculation as to how it may develop. The initial chapters deal with substantive aspects of Convention rights (including issues of detention in institutions, conditions within institutions, medical treatment, problems associated with guardianship and others). The final two chapters move to discuss the practicalities of litigation. The book concludes with a number of appendices (primarily the primary international legal materials of relevance to mental disability rights under the ECHR, and the relevant recommendations and principles from the Council of Europe). It is hoped that this volume, in addition to shedding light on where the law currently stands, will offer practical guidance to lawyers concerning the mechanics of representing people with mental disabilities.

A People's History of the European Court of Human Rights

ASIN: 0521608597

Book Description

This book critically appraises the European Convention on Human Rights as it faces some daunting challenges. It argues that the Convention's core functions have subtly changed, particularly since the ending of the Cold War, and that these are now to articulate an 'abstract constitutional model' for the entire continent, and to promote convergence in the operation of public institutions at every level of governance. The implications - from national compliance, to European international relations, including the adjudication of disputes by the European Court of Human Rights - are fully explored. As the first book-length socio-legal examination of the Convention's principal achievements and failures, this study not only blends legal and social science scholarship around the theme of constitutionalization, but also offers a coherent set of policy proposals which both address the current case-management crisis and suggest ways forward neglected by recent reforms.

Book Description

Many people believe passionately in human rights. Others - Bentham, Marx, cultural relativists and some feminists amongst them - dismiss the concept of human rights as practically and conceptually inadequate. This book reviews these classical critiques and shows how their insights are reflected in the case law of the European Court of Human Rights. At one level an original, accessible and insightful legal commentary on the European Convention, this book is also a groundbreaking work of theory which challenges human rights orthodoxy. Its novel identification of four human rights schools proposes that we alternatively conceive of these rights as given (natural school), agreed upon (deliberative school), fought for (protest school) and talked about (discourse school). Which of these concepts we adopt is determined by particular ways in which we believe, or do not believe, in human rights.

Book Description

Freedom of religion and belief is one of the central rights set out in international human rights treaties and yet it has also been one of the most controversial. While it is generally agreed that religious freedom is a fundamental right, there is little consensus about its content or scope. This book provides a detailed analysis of the law of freedom of religion or belief as developed under the European Convention on Human Rights. It takes a critical view of the restrictive manner in which the European Court and Commission of Human Rights have interpreted the Convention provisions relating to freedom of religion or belief and the high level of deference that they have given to State interests. The first part of the book sets the context, historical and theoretical, in which the interpretation of religious freedom in the Convention takes place. The second looks at the meaning of the Article 9(1) provisions for the protection of freedom of religion and belief, and the third part explores the limitations that a State may place on that freedom. Some of the issues raised include the role of religious education in State schools, permissible limitations on proselytism, the rights of conscientious objectors, and the scope of religious freedom for prisoners.

Book Description

The European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms is by now tremendously influential in the legal practice of over forty European states, including the United Kingdom. It is therefore essential that students and lawyers be familiar with the law and procedures of the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. This second edition of the innovative and highly acclaimed European Human Rights Law has been extensively updated to cover the major developments of recent years, including the reform of the European Court of Human Rights, expansion of the system to central and eastern Europe, and the incorporation of the European Convention on Human Rights into British law. The book introduces both the process and the substance of this increasingly important area of European law. Presenting extracts from key cases alongside clear and intelligent commentary, Janis, Kay, and Bradley explain the legal rules and court system that has evolved in Strasbourg, how the Court works, and how European human rights law is enforced both at the national and international level. It also puts European human rights law into a useful comparative framework alongside human rights cases decided by courts in the United States and Canada.

Book Description

The European Convention on Human Rights has had a significant impact on the courts of the Member States of the Council of Europe. the aim of the present study is threefold. First, to determine conclusively whether or not there exists a legal obligation on Member States to incorporate the Convention into domestic law. Secondly. to make a comparative survey of the reception of the Convention on the domestic courts of Member States. In pursuit of this last aim, the author has surveyed the application of the Convention in cases involving relations between individuals; the possibility of references by domestic courts to the Convention as part of the corpus of European Community Law, enforceable in the domestic forum; and the authority of the findings to the organs of the Convention in domestic courts, evidenced either in proceeding to give effect to their findings, or in their use as guidelines to clarify the nature and extent of obligations. The study illustrates the growing imoprtance of the Convention as an autonomous source in the domestic law of States Parties. the author concludes by suggesting that a preliminary ruling procedure be instituted in oredr to ensure the harmonious and uniform application of Convention Law by domestic courts.

Book Description

It's a new baseball season and time for Charlie Brown and the team to try once again to win a gameor at least score a run. With a pitcher who's knocked off the mound with every hit, a fielder who has never caught a ball and a beagle playing schortstop, they don't stand much of a chancebut they'll entertain with their attempts! Insights From the Outfield celebrates the humor and spirit of America's pastime.

Customer Reviews:

Think of this as a prospectus for a great "Peanuts" book.......2003-05-08

"Insights from the Outfield" is a pretty good idea for a "Peanuts" collection from Charles Schulz. After all, for decades America's loveable loser Charlie Brown trudged out to the mound to pitch his team to the longest losing streak in the history of western civilization. If you are a true aficionado of "Peanuts" then you should be able to remember where everybody played: Schroeder was the catcher, Snoopy and Linus the keystone combination, and Lucy offered the titular insights from the vantage point of the outfield. More importantly you should be able to recall some of the classic baseball strips (should Charlie Brown try to steal home? Can Linus really play while holding his blanket?). There is a veritable gold mind of "Peanuts" baseball strips out there, all of which are imbued with the gentle wit and wisdom of one of the great cartoonists.

The only problem is that in "Insights From The Outfield" there is a grand total of only ten "Peanuts" cartoon strips in this slim volume. To be fair four of them are longer ones pulled from the Sunday funnies, but that is a mere pittance for all the gold that is in them thar hills. Besides, as the book itself observes halfway through, most of what happens takes place on the pitching mound and not in the outfield (but it is the contrast of INsights with the OUTfield that is supposed to hook you). Consequently, what we have here amounts to simply warming up before the start of the game. There is a wonderful book to be written about the humor and spirit of America's favorite pastime from the pen of Charles Schultz, but this is not that book.

That book should be published and it should be written by someone who does more than put a few comic strips together by simple categories and blows up some panels larger than others to help drive home a point. This idealized volume does not need to be as academic as "The Gospel According to Peanuts," but in addition to collecting our favorite strips on the subject it should also provide commentary. After all, the approaches of Charlie Brown, Snoop and Lucy to the game are as diverse as those of Marvelous Marv Throneberry, Mark "The Bird" Fydrich, and Tyrus Raymond Cobb (How can you have a "Peanuts" book on baseball that does not mention Joe Slobatnik?) They deserve to be explored in something closer to extra innings than simply this little warm up on the sidelines.
