Neither Fair nor Just
Adam Jonas was a bit of a loner, his love of trains and the tunnels that sliced through the Adelaide Hills brought about his undoing. His broken body was found at the bottom of a railway cutting leading into one of the tunnels. He became the third child who had gone missing in the hills, the other two had not been found either alive or dead. It had been over three months since the first boy went missing and at this point the Police had no leads on who may have been the perpetrator. The case had been assigned to two ageing Detectives, one nearing retirement, both came under fire from the press for their lack of progress in solving the case. The hills communities were now living on the edge. The two detectives under pressure to solve the case started to line up several Prime Suspects but on each of them they drew a blank.

The Development of International Law
"Believing that changes in International Law have been ultimately an expression of changes in the state system of the world and in the practice of the nations, we have tried, as it were, to cut into the procession of history at fixed points, to select some central theme at each stage, and to treat it in the light of history and law. In this attempt we arrived at a division of history from our point of view into three major periods which we have termed respectively those of the Prince, of the Judge, and of the Concert. In the first period, the scholar is still in the age of the dissolving Holy Roman Empire; in the second, commercial and dynastic wars - above all, the long-drawn-out struggle between France and England - dominate the scene; in the third and last, it is the voice of some force other than that of pure nationalism which, whatever the reason, reasserts itself. No division of this kind can be wholly satisfactory, but it is our belief that under one or another of these headings almost every issue which has interest for the historian of the Law of Nations can be conveniently treated." -- from the Preface by the author.
Malthus: 'An Essay on the Principle of Population'
This 1992 volume makes available to a student audience one of the most controversial and misunderstood works published during the last two hundred years. Malthus' Essay on the Principle of Population began life in 1798 as a polite attack on some post-French-revolutionary speculations on the theme of social and human perfectibility. It remains one of the most powerful statements of the limits to human hopes set by the tension between population growth and natural resources. This edition is based on the authoritative variorum of the mature versions of the Essay published over the period 1803 to 1826. The introduction, notes and bibliographic apparatus are aimed specifically at a modern audience interested in how Malthusianism impinges on the history of political thought.
Deception and Detection in Eighteenth-century Britain
In the first extended treatment of the debates surrounding public deception in eighteenth-century Britain, Jack Lynch contends that forgery and fraud make explicit the usually unspoken grounds on which Britons made sense of their world. While taking up the critical philosophical questions surrounding fraud, Lynch shows that fakery takes us to the heart of eighteenth-century values as they relate to evidence, perception and memory, the relationship between art and life, historicism, and human motivation.
