David Shaw Papers
Five letters, 30 January 1796 - May 1812, written by itinerant London merchant David Shaw, originating from Great Britain (London and Manchester), from aboard ship in the Atlantic Ocean, and from Charleston (South Carolina), to his sister and brother-in-law, John Alexander, Esq., living in southwest Scotland "near New Galloway, N[orth] Britain." Topics discussed include a few brief references to his investments in shipping tea to England as well as enslaved Africans to North America, his plans to relocate to the Bahamas and South Carolina for a short period, becoming shipwrecked near Charleston, S.C., and an 1806 letter written en route to Sierra Leone to purchase enslaved Africans (shortly before the 1807 ban on the international slave trade went into effect).
David's Crown
As well as the name of a virus, a corona is a crown, the pearly glow around the sun in certain astronomical conditions and a poetic form where interlinking lines connect a sequence. It is the perfect name therefore for this new collection of 150 poems by the bestselling poet Malcolm Guite, each one written in response to the Bible’s 150 psalms as they appear in William Coverdale’s timeless translation. The Psalms express every human emotion with disarming honesty, as anger and thankfulness alike are directed at God. All of life is here with its moments of beauty and its times of despair and shame. Like the Psalms themselves, the poems do not avoid the cursing and glorying over the downfall of your enemies, but wrestle honestly with them as we do when we come to say them.
International Law
This new edition of International Law confirms the text's status as the definitive book on the subject. Combining both his expertise as academic and practitioner, Malcolm Shaw's survey of the subject motivates and challenges both student and professional. By offering an unbeatable combination of clarity of expression and academic rigour, he ensures both understanding and critical analysis in an engaging and authoritative style. The text has been updated throughout to reflect recent case law and treaty developments. It retains the detailed references which encourage and assist further reading and study.

Scandinavian Politics Today
This volume represents a unique study of contemporary politics and policy-making in the five nation-states and three Home Rule territories of the Nordic region. Written in a lively and readable style by an expert in the field, its approach is systematically thematic and comparative. Chapters deal with current political science issues such as nation-building and state-building, party system change, semi-presidentialism and post-corporatism, as well as addressing intrinsically important regional questions such as whether or not there is a Nordic model of government, a distinctively Scandinavian form of parliamentarianism and a superior welfare system. There is also detailed discussion of the Nordic states in their strategic external environment, focusing on the post-war security configuration in northern Europe and the impact of European integration on Scandinavia.
