Petals of Memory
Petals of Memory is a real revelation about a man who is not only one of the world's leading barristers in criminal law but also a giant for humanity - a committed and courageous advocate for human rights and the concept of "one world" where all peoples, races, religions co-exist in peace and harmony without borders, prejudice and injustice. Also on display is Peter's passion for the sea, love and romance. Peter does not do anything in half measures and is fearless even when faced with imminent danger - whether it is confronting the French Navy in Mururoa or Frank Bainimarama's thugs in Fiji. Peter Williams QC is New Zealand's leading criminal lawyer. He has been a lawyer for over 50 years and was appointed to the legal profession's most senior position of Queen's Counsel in 1987. He has written two other books Judicial Misconduct and the New Zealand bestseller A Passion for Justice.
The Environmental Law Handbook
Environmental law is a dynamic area where active parliaments and courts generate a complex and interconnected web of legislation and regulations. Particular challenges arise from government attempts to balance environmental issues and developmental imperatives. The Environmental Law Handbook, now in its sixth edition, clarifies the complexity of this law for a wide range of readers. Building on previous editions under the editorship of Professor David Farrier and the Hon Paul Stein QC AM, our new editor, Dr Peter Williams from the Faculty of the Built Environment, UNSW, has overseen contributions from over 20 experts in environmental law including barristers, solicitors, academics and policy makers. These experts have worked through complex legislation and regulation to offer a clear account of environmental planning and protection in NSW. A handbook for practising lawyers and for students, the careful balance of clarification and detail makes the text widely useful. Planners, engineers and environmental scientists, as well as those involved in environmental or community causes, will find The Environmental Law Handbook a valuable resource.
