Brigands in the Eyes of the Law
The Philippine Islands became independent on June 12, 1898, but faced a new colonizer upon the acquisition of the Islands by the United States of America from Spain through the Treaty of Paris. The revolutionaries fought a new, protracted war despite the superiority of the American forces. Against all odds, Filipinos continued the struggle for independence. Many died in battle while the unwavering hold-outs faced the dubious distinction of being convicted for the crime of brigandage. Of those convicted, many were hanged at the gallows, while others endured long prison sentences. They all went down in history as brigands, rebels, and criminals. What happened to these men were written in the decisions of the Supreme Court, with the Philippine Islands still under American rule. These decisions, compiled in the Philippine Reports, contained "e;names and facts"e; which historians and researchers could use to evaluate and complete the story of the Philippine nation during an era systematically forgotten. In the turmoil of nation-building, the Filipinos' convictions became their badge of honor, their exploits perpetually etched in the pages of the Philippine Reports. This is their story.
Amnesty of July 4, 1902
The Philippine Islands was ceded to the United States of America from Spain in the Treaty of Paris on December 10, 1898 for Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000.00). To pacify the entire Philippine Archipelago and to break the spirited resistance of the Filipinos, the American President issued an Amnesty Proclamation on July 4, 1902 granting full and general amnesty for the benefit of all Filipinos who took part in the revolution against Spain and the war against America as a way to entice the Filipinos to accept the benevolence of America. Various laws were enacted that rendered criminal the political aspirations of those who continued the fight for independence after the Amnesty Proclamation.The Supreme Court of the Philippine Islands was established during the time the United States of America was consolidating the assimilation of the Philippine Islands under its governance. The subject matter of this compilation include the decisions on cases determined by the Supreme Court of the Philippine Islands found in volumes one (1) to five (5) of the Philippine Reports regarding the Amnesty Proclamation of July 4, 1902.

Handbook on Particle Separation Processes
Particles in water play an important role in all kinds of water quality and treatment issues. Since the early beginnings of centralised water production and treatment, the main goal of water purification was primarily the removal of water turbidity in order to produce clear water free from visible particles. The Handbook on Particle Separation Processes provides knowledge and expertise from a selected group of international experts with a wealth of experience in the field of particles and particle separation in water and wastewater treatment. The Handbook on Particle Separation Processes includes an edited selection of presentations and workshops held at the academic summer school Particle Separation in Water and Wastewater Treatment, organised under the supervision of the IWA Specialist Group Particle Separation.

Spain, Europe and the Wider World, 1500-1800
When J. H. Elliott published Spain and Its World, 1500?1700 some twenty years ago, one of many enthusiasts declared, ?For anyone interested in the history of empire, of Europe and of Spain, here is a book to keep within reach, to read, to study and to enjoy" (Times Literary Supplement). Since then Elliott has continued to explore the history of Spain and the Hispanic world with originality and insight, producing some of the most influential work in the field. In this new volume he gathers writings that reflect his recent research and thinking on politics, art, culture, and ideas in Europe and the colonial worlds between 1500 and 1800.The volume includes fourteen essays, lectures, and articles of remarkable breadth and freshness, written with Elliott's characteristic brio. It includes an unpublished lecture in honor of the late Hugh Trevor-Roper. Organized around three themes?early modern Europe, European overseas expansion, and the works and historical context of El Greco, Velzquez, Rubens, and Van Dyck?the book offers a rich survey of the themes at the heart of Elliott's interests throughout a career distinguished by excellence and innovation.
