Black Cabs
The high-flyers of London's investment banks are all too aware that information is gold-dust when billion pound deals are at stake. But as the highly-paid guns at Skidder Barton, a fading giant in the cut-throat corporate finance sector, secretly plot the huge take-over that will revive their fortunes, they forget that there's one place they can be overheard ... Len and his cabbie colleagues, Terry and Einstein, embark on a cunning and dangerous attempt to profit from the next big take-over move. Because Len needs the money, and he needs it fast - his daughter's life depends on it. Will the cabbies' world of solidarity triumph over the brutal self-interest of the sharp suits who will stop at nothing on the road to unimaginable riches?

Legal Histories of the British Empire
This book is a major contribution to our understanding of the role played by law(s) in the British Empire. Using a variety of interdisciplinary approaches, the authors provide in-depth analyses which shine new light on the role of law in creating the people and places of the British Empire. Ranging from the United States, through Calcutta, across Australasia to the Gold Coast, these essays seek to investigate law’s central place in the British Empire, and the role of its agents in embedding British rule and culture in colonial territories. One of the first collections to provide a sustained engagement with the legal histories of the British Empire, in particular beyond the settler colonies, this work aims to encourage further scholarship and new approaches to the writing of the histories of that Empire. Legal Histories of the British Empire: Laws, Engagements and Legacies will be of value not only to legal scholars and graduate students, but of interest to all of those who want to know more about the laws in and of the British Empire.
Melbourne
Like cities everywhere, Melbourne is two cities. There is the city of space and place, of the streets and parks and buildings where we live. Then there is the city of words, the imagined city that has inspired or directed the building of the material city, and that holds the memories of the lives its people have led. Before the invasion of the settlers, the Aborigines who lived in what would become Melbourne patterned their lives in song and dance, word and ritual, that joined them in a seamless reality of place and space: past, present and future. The settlers displaced this with the chartered streets where solid buildings aspired to the ostentatious wealth of London or Paris, and narrow la...
