On the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, the definitive biography of suffragette Sylvia Pankhurst-political rebel, human rights champion, and radical feminist ahead of her time. Sylvia Pankhurst fought militantly for a woman's right to vote, inspiring movements around the globe. But the vote was just the beginning.

Mittelalterliche nordische Rechtsquellen finden sich in dem weiten Bereich von Grönland, Island, den skandinavischen Ländern bis nach Finnland und Russland.

An informative and critical analysis of Scotland’s ferry services, this book describes the glory days of how, from modest beginnings, Scotland once led the world in maritime development. It contrasts the achievements of the past with the failures, waste, and inadequacy of much of today’s state-owned ferry provision. In addition to showing how a more equitable fares regime can be devised, Roy Pedersen also addresses sensitive issues such as CO2 and other emissions, state versus private ownership, the place of trade unions, and, most importantly of all, how the lot of island and peninsular communities can be bettered through provision of efficient, cost-effective ferry services. Drawing on best practices at home and overseas, it sets out how Scottish ferry services can be revolutionized to be, once again, among the best in the world.
