The first edition of Harris, OBoyle & Warbrick: Law of the European Convention on Human Rights swiftly established itself as a seminal legal textbook. The eagerly awaited second edition builds on the great strengths of the first, & is an indispensible text for all undergraduates, postgraduates & practitioners. Its publication coincides with the 50th anniversary of the European Court of Human Rights, a major milestone in European legal history. An up-to-date & comprehensive account of Strasbourg case law & its underlying principles, this book facilitates an in-depth understanding of this fascinating area of law. It fully explores the extent of the Conventions influence upon the legal development of the contracting states, & reveals exactly how such a powerful authority has been achieved & maintained. It sets out & critically analyses each Convention article that constitutes the substantive guarantee, & examines the system of supervision. The Convention currently binds 47 European states, & its reach is set to expand even further. It has effectively become the constitutional bill of rights for Europe, providing common human rights standards for the whole continent. National parliaments & courts must constantly look to the Convention when legislating & deciding cases, or run the risk of adverse Strasbourg judgments with which they must then comply. For nearly all states, the Convention has been made directly enforceable in their national courts. For the remaining few, it offers a model for a national bill of rights. All of these considerations underline the immense value of the comprehensive account of the law of the Convention that this book provides. ...

Harrison Birtwistle - Wild Tracks: A Conversation Diary With Fiona
Maddocks (Hardback)

Harrison Birtwistle is recognised worldwide as one of the greatest of living composers. His music is both deeply original and highly personal, yet he has always been notoriously reticent about explaining either his music or himself. In this conversation diary, spanning six months, he talks openly to the distinguished writer and critic Fiona Maddocks, offering rare insights into the challenges, uncertainties and rewards which have shaped his life and work since childhood, and which remain with him today as he enters his ninth decade. We see the composer in the privacy of his Wiltshire studio and garden, and in the public glare of the elite Salzburg and Aldeburgh Festivals. But mostly he is at his kitchen table, talking about the essential aspects of his life- family, cooking,
cricket, landscape, pruning trees - and reflecting on the never easy process of composition. What distinguishes him and his remarkable music is an ability to see the extraordinary in the everyday, giving rise to work that is both elemental and profound. For anyone concerned with the future of music this book is essential reading.
