Sykes of Sebastopol Terrace
For 20 years, the sound of a brass band theme tune heralded the broadcast of the BBC's most successful comedy show. The misadventures of Eric Sykes and his twin sister began with Sykes and a Telephone in January 1960 and ran until November 1979 when The BBC Honours Sykes was broadcast. When Hattie Jacques died the following year, any plans for further series were shelved, but repeats of the show continue to be broadcast to this day.

Cases, Materials, and Texts on Legal Problems of International Economic Relations
This book focuses on the rules-based multilateral trading system established by the World Trade Organization, with particular emphasis given to the rich and detailed jurisprudence developed by the WTO's Appellate Body. The book also devotes considerable attention to national laws operating in the shadow of the WTO system (such as antidumping and countervailing duty laws), and to interesting new developments associated with free trade agreements such as the USMCA.

Two respected scholars provide an intellectual framework for assessing these problems from a rational choice perspective and describe conditions under which international law succeeds or fails.
Handbook of Law and Economics
Law can be viewed as a body of rules and legal sanctions that channel behavior in socially desirable directions - for example, by encouraging individuals to take proper precautions to prevent accidents or by discouraging competitors from colluding to raise prices. The incentives created by the legal system are thus a natural subject of study by economists. Moreover, given the importance of law to the welfare of societies, the economic analysis of law merits prominent treatment as a subdiscipline of economics. Our hope is that this two volume Handbook will foster the study of the legal system by economists. *The two volumes form a comprehensive and accessible survey of the current state of the field. *Chapters prepared by leading specialists of the area. *Summarizes received results as well as new developments.
