Royal Law
This book argues that all non-statutory powers of the Crown are royal prerogative powers and asserts that the Crown does not possess or exercise any 'third source' powers, common law powers or 'Ram doctrine' style freedoms. It take as its starting point AV Dicey's definition that the royal prerogative comprises all non-statutory rights, powers, duties, and immunities of the Crown. And it goes on to argue that the famous alternative definition given by Blackstone, that prerogative powers are only those powers that are exclusive to the Crown, must be reconsidered. The book states that the legal powers of the Crown that appear to resemble private law powers such as ex gratia payments are in fac...
Thoughtrave: An Interdimensional Conversation with Lady Gaga
Thoughtrave is the immediate and most detailed archive of Lady Gaga's emotional, intellectual, philosophical, and spiritual evolution, a reclaiming of her art (and humanity) from within the center of her celebrity during one of the most difficult transitions of her career: Summer 2013-Fall 2014. Lady Gaga: I don't like being used to make money. I feel sad when I am overworked and that I just become a money making machine and that my passion and my creativity take a backseat. That makes me unhappy. So, what did I do? I started to say no. Not doing that. I don't want to do that. I'm not taking that picture. Not going to that event. Not standing by that because that's not what I stand for. Thou...
Cover to Cover
Tanya Stephens is a 29-year-old graphic designer who works for Ill Will, a greeting-card company founded on the principle that the British love being atrociously rude to their nearest and dearest. After a series of boyfriends - too keen, too needy or just too mind-numbingly boring - she has decided that all she needs in life are her books and the occasional episode of FRASIER. But then Tanya finds a book ostensibly about her own life. Is her one true love now happily married and living in Swansea? Did her mum really sleep with her dad's best friend? On her quest to separate fact from fiction, Tanya is forced to question her place in the world, and whether love can ever be a part of it.
Alfred Döblin
'If you're satisfied with yourself, beware of Döblin.' It was with this temptation for brave souls that Günter Grass closed his tribute on the tenth anniversary of the great modernist's death. Alfred Döblin is best known for his city masterpiece of 1929, Berlin Alexanderplatz. But the journey to the 'Alex' takes us along pathways both less familiar and every bit as intriguing. In the decades before his flight into exile in 1933, this medical doctor-cum-writer broke new ground both as an Expressionist storyteller and an author of experimental historical and science fiction. Not only that, but he made radical contributions to poetics, aesthetics and nature philosophy. The focus of this inno...
Augustine's Confessions
Augustine's Confessions: Conversion and Consciousness argues two original positions concerning the structure and meaning of the Confessions by Augustine. The structure is found to be a tool used by Augustine in his earlier pre-Confessions writings in which he uses the Allegory of the Cave in book VII of the Republic by Plato to both describe human consciousness and as a structural framework for his own life story. As with Plato's allegory, Augustine then uses Books X-XIII to do, what the author calls, "Scriptural Philosophical" analysis of the allegorical prayer previously given. The author shows that the Confessions is really an allegorical quasi-prayer that shows Augustine's state of mind ...

Canada and the First World War, Second Edition
The First World War is often credited as being the event that gave Canada its own identity, distinct from that of Britain, France, and the United States. Less often noted, however, is that it was also the cause of a great deal of friction within Canadian society. The fifteen essays contained in Canada and the First World War examine how Canadians experienced the war and how their experiences were shaped by region, politics, gender, class, and nationalism. Editor David MacKenzie has brought together some of the leading voices in Canadian history to take an in-depth look into the tensions and fractures the war caused, and to address the way some attitudes about the country were changed, while ...
