Evidence of Bad Character
This is the second edition of John Spencer's now well established book which seeks to explain this complex area of law for the benefit of members of judges, criminal practitioners and academics teaching the law of evidence. In the past, the rule excluding evidence of the defendant's general bad character and disposition to commit the offence was sometimes described as one of the most hallowed rules of evidence; Lord Sankey, in Maxwell v DPP, referred to it as '...one of the most deeply rooted and jealously guarded principles of our criminal law.'

Hearsay Evidence in Criminal Proceedings
The Criminal Justice Act 2003 re-wrote the hearsay evidence rule for the purpose of criminal proceedings, enacting the recommendations of the Law Commission together with some proposals from the Auld Review. In 2008, Professor Spencer wrote a book explaining the new law, intended for practitioners as well as academics. Following the style of his earlier book about the new law on bad character evidence, the core of the hearsay book was a section-by-section commentary on the relevant provisions of the Act, discussing the case law that had interpreted them.

On Painting
In his discussion of painting Alberti writes of the process of vision, how the painter can present with his hand what he has understood with his mind, and the moral and artistic pre-requisites of the painter.
The Evidence of Children
This is an account of the civil and criminal rules affecting children in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland reviewing them in the light of the findings of psychologists and social scientists and makes proposals for reform. There have been many important developments which include hearsay evidence which has become freely available in civil proceedings involving children in both England and Scotland; videotapes of earlier interviews which have become admissible in criminal proceedings in England; in Scotland the law has been changed to allow the whole of a child's evidence in a criminal case to be taken ahead of trial on commission; there has been a wave of popular concern about "ritual abuse" and among psychologists there is increasing concern about both "repressed" and "implanted" memories.
Haeven
Hanging By A Thread Everything went wrong. INSIDE Solarium-3 (Book One of the Trilogy) a research team was to sustain life in a completely closed, man-made ecosystem. Then came the devastating news. Trapped in their air-tight prison, the Solarians cling to life. Two children have been born. Another is on the way. Will the huge, plastic Solarium protect them? For how long? Then comes a new terror, a crack in the roof of the main pod. Poisonous air may be seeping in from OUTSIDE. Their lives, and the future of their children, are now on the line. If it's no longer safe INSIDE, what will they risk?
ReGeneration
Life In The Midst Of Death. In Haeven (Book Two), the Solarians and their children have struggled to survive INSIDE Solarium-3 against insurmountable odds. Mankind's desire for a better world is now nothing but a bad dream. Life has become the perfect exercise in futility. Daily they wonder, Why go on? Forced OUTSIDE to repair an air leak in the main pod, they faced new risks and old horrors. Searching for answers, they have begun to explore what seems an utterly godforsaken planet. Now, a day's journey has brought four of the Solarians to the ruins of Colorado Springs where unforeseen events drive them to the summit of Pikes Peak. Then comes a mystifying, staggering confrontation. Life is about to take an unexpected turn, new realities are about to erupt around them-and the last thing they ever imagined will be the greatest surprise of all.
