Buddhism and International Humanitarian Law
What guidance can Buddhism provide to those involved in armed conflict and to belligerents who must perhaps kill or be killed or defend their families, communities or countries from attack? How, moreover, does Buddhism compare with international humanitarian law (IHL) – otherwise known as the law of armed conflict – which protects non-combatants and restricts the means and methods of warfare to limit the suffering it causes? Despite the prevalence of armed conflict in parts of the Buddhist world, few contemporary studies have addressed these questions. While there is a wealth of material on Buddhist conflict prevention and resolution, remarkably little attention has been paid to what Bud...

Systematics and the Fossil Record
This new text sets out to establish the key role played by systematics in deciphering patterns of evolution from the fossil record. It begins by considering the nature of the species in the fossil record and then outlines recent advances in the methodology used to establish phylogenetics relationships, stressing why fossil evidence can be crucial. The way species are grouped into higher taxa, and how this affects their utility in evolutionary studies is also discussed. Because the fossil record abounds with sampling and preservational biases, the book emphasizes that observed patterns can rarely be taken at face value. It is argued that evolutionary trees, constructed from combining phylogenetic and biostratigraphic data, provide the best approach for investigating patterns of evolution through geologic time. The only integrated text covering the study of evolutionary patterns from a phylogenetic stance.
Comparing the Geological and Fossil Records
The past decade has witnessed a major revival in attempts to separate biodiversity signals from biases imposed by sampling and the architecture of the rock record. How large a problem this poses to our understanding of biodiversity patterns remains debatable, and new approaches are being developed to investigate this question. Here palaeobiologists with widely differing approaches and interests explore the problems of extracting reliable information on biodiversity change from an imperfect geological record. Topics covered range from the application of information-theoretic approaches that identify directional causal relationships to an in-depth study of how geological biases could influence our understanding of dinosaur evolution.

Annotated National Credit Code and Regulations
THE ANNOTATED NATIONAL CREDIT CODE has an established reputation as an invaluable guide to the Code and Regulations. It is an essential reference for financial institutions, retailers, financiers and consumer advocates as well as practitioners to ensure their compliance with Code obligations. The move towards federal regulation of the industry has resulted in a single, standard, national regulation of consumer credit. This has a significant impact on any person involved in the origination, management or enforcement of consumer credit. The code also applies to those who provide credit to purchase, renovate or improve residential property for investment purposes. Among other things, the new re...
Echinoid Palaeobiology
This book provides a comprehensive synthesis of the range of biological information that can be retrieved from the fossilised skeletons of echinoids. The first half consists of a detailed explanation of the functional significance of skeletal structures and the inferences to be drawn from them about the living animals. This is followed by a discussion of the important evolutionary changes that have taken place and why they may have occurred. Finally, there is a section on how echinoids relate to other echinoderm groups.
Annotated Consumer Credit Code and Regulations
Provides practitioners and students with a guide to consumer credit legislation. Reproduced are the Consumer Credit Code and Consumer Credit Regulation 1995, both annotated and explained in a comprehensive and detailed commentary.
