The 9th edition of Maudsley & Burn's Land Law Cases and Materials continues to provide an essential reference work for students and practitioners.

This is an accessible and comprehensive student textbook dealing explicitly with Darwinism and human affairs. It is an overview of the key theoretical principles of human sociobiology and evolutionary psychology and shows how they illuminate the way humans think and behave. This textbook will be of value to psychology and biology undergraduates but specifically those studying evolutionary psychology, animal behaviour and evolutionary theory, sociobiology, biological anthropology and behavioural ecology. This new edition devotes more to key topics, and takes into account recent research in the area. Additions include material on mental disorders, emotions and their expression, the evolutionary basis to morality, and cognition.

Designed to spark creativity and sharpen the reader’s role as a thinker and a shaper, this book serves as a guide to safety and security, specifically in South Africa. Written by experts on crime and safety and civic affairs, it proves a unique, interesting, and potentially life-altering read. In lieu of a step-by-step manual with detailed instructions on how to remain safe, this informative and provocative resource encourages pro-active thinking and innovation on security concepts, and although the book primarily concerns South Africa, the discussion of safety issues is universally relative and applicable to all countries.

The narrative follows John Cartwright, a retired barrister whose quest for truth parallels his enigmatic personal history.

His career spans Criminal and Common Law, culminating in a shocking revelation about his father's true fate. Through his experiences, John reflects on the complexities of justice and personal discovery, revealing a life dedicated to uncovering hidden truths.

This book gives an introduction to the English law of contract. In this new and fully updated edition the book retains the primary focus of the first edition: it is designed to introduce the lawyer trained in a civil law jurisdiction to the method of reasoning in the common law, and in particular to the English law of contract. It is written for the lawyer-whether student or practitioner-from another jurisdiction who already has an understanding of a (different) law of contract, but who wishes to discover the way in which an English lawyer views a contract. However, setting English contract law generally in the context of other European and international approaches, the book forms an introductory text for the English student, who can see not only how English contract law works but also get a glimpse of different ways of thinking about some of the fundamental rules of contract law. After a general introduction to the common law system-how a common lawyer reasons and finds the law-the book explains the principles of the law of contract in English law covering all the aspects of a contract from its formation to the remedies available for breach, whilst directing attention in particular to those areas where the approach of English law is in marked contrast to that taken in many civil law systems.
