Teaching of Rights and Justice in the Law School
This book examines the challenges of bringing cutting-edge research in often controversial areas into the law syllabus and explores how academics can effectively adopt a holistic approach to research and pedagogy when teaching rights and justice. The collection brings together experts from all areas of legal scholarship to discuss how they fuse often controversial aspects of rights and justice into their teaching in a way that responds to and is ultimately led by academic research. As such, it advances legal education through the opportunity to explore the interplay between rights and justice and how scholars both ensure that their teaching is research-led, whilst responding to the needs and views of students and issues such as generational differences in viewpoints on controversial issues. This topical volume will appeal to academics and researchers interested in academic freedom, the challenges of research-led teaching and the pedagogy around the teaching of rights and justice.
The Name is Thompson - A Novel of Old Belfast
The Name is Thompson - by Elizabeth May. Set in Belfast in the 1850s, this is the story of two families living in the centre of the town at a time of civil strife and dire poverty. We follow the Thompson and McKenna families - families of different religions, but joined as close neighbours in understanding.

Ancient Ocean Crossings
Paints a compelling picture of impressive pre-Columbian cultures and Old World civilizations that, contrary to many prevailing notions, were not isolated from one another In Ancient Ocean Crossings: Reconsidering the Case for Contacts with the Pre-Columbian Americas, Stephen Jett encourages readers to reevaluate the common belief that there was no significant interchange between the chiefdoms and civilizations of Eurasia and Africa and peoples who occupied the alleged terra incognita beyond the great oceans. More than a hundred centuries separate the time that Ice Age hunters are conventionally thought to have crossed a land bridge from Asia into North America and the arrival of Columbus in ...
The Oxford Handbook of Prehistoric Oceania
Oceania was the last region on earth to be permanently inhabited, with the final settlers reaching Aotearoa/New Zealand approximately AD 1300. This is about the same time that related Polynesian populations began erecting Easter Island's gigantic statues, farming the valley slopes of Tahiti and similar islands, and moving finely made basalt tools over several thousand kilometers of open ocean between Hawai'i, the Marquesas, the Cook Islands, and archipelagos in between. The remarkable prehistory of Polynesia is one chapter of Oceania's human story. Almost 50,000 years prior, people entered Oceania for the first time, arriving in New Guinea and its northern offshore islands shortly thereafter...

Connecting Lines
Back in my college days on Oahu, Hawai’I, during the 90´, I learned the story of Eddie Aikau, Hawaiian surfer, lifeguard, and sailor who inspires me to this day. In 1978, Eddie took part in a trip on the Hokulea, the sailing traditional voyaging canoe that was built to recover the techniques of traditional Polynesian navigators. After an accidental capsize, he did not make it back after he went for help to rescue all crewmembers during this first voyage. Today this project of Hawaiian and traditional sailing has already fought against all odds and sailed numerous voyages to Tahiti and back only using the stars, birds and traditional “Wayfinding”. Hawaiian traditional sailors have alre...
Human Rights at Risk

The volume is organized based on three overarching themes that highlight the challenges and risks in international human rights: international institutions and global governance of human rights; thematic blind spots in human rights protection; and the human rights challenges of the United States as a global and domestic actor amidst the contemporary global shifts to authoritarianism and illiberal populism. One of the very few books that offer new perspectives that envision the future of transnational human rig...
The Routledge Handbook of Bioarchaeology in Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands
In recent years the bioarchaeology of Southeast Asia and the Pacific islands has seen enormous progress. This new and exciting research is synthesised, contextualised and expanded upon in The Routledge Handbook of Bioarchaeology in Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands. The volume is divided into two broad sections, one dealing with mainland and island Southeast Asia, and a second section dealing with the Pacific islands. A multi-scalar approach is employed to the bio-social dimensions of Southeast Asia and the Pacific islands with contributions alternating between region and/or site specific scales of operation to the individual or personal scale. The more personal level of osteobiographies enriches the understanding of the lived experience in past communities. Including a number of contributions from sub-disciplinary approaches tangential to bioarchaeology the book provides a broad theoretical and methodological approach. Providing new information on the globally relevant topics of farming, population mobility, subsistence and health, no other volume provides such a range of coverage on these important themes.
