The Death of the Irreparable Injury Rule
Oxford University Press 1991; US$ 144.99Drawing on an analysis of numerous cases, the author argues that the "irreparable injury" rule is defunct, since it no longer constrains a court's choice of remedy. He proposes new injury rules based on actual practice. more...
Words without Objects
OUP Oxford 2006; US$ 94.99A picture of the world as chiefly one of discrete objects, distributed in space and time, has sometimes seemed compelling. It is however one of two main targets of Henry Laycock's book; for it is seriously incomplete. The picture, he argues, leaves no space for stuff like air and water. With discrete objects, we may always ask 'how many?',... more...
Warlords
The History Press 2011; US$ 27.69The centuries after the end of Roman control of Britain in AD 410 are some of the most vital in Britain's history - yet some of the least understood.

This groundbreaking new study traces the history of British tribes and British tribal rivalries form the pre-Roman period, through the Roman period and into the post-Roman period.... more...
UnRoman Britain
The History Press 2011; US$ 23.32When we think of Roman Britain we tend to think of a land of togas and richly decorated palaces with Britons happily going about their much improved daily business under the benign gaze of Rome. This image is to a great extent a fiction. In fact, Britons were some of the least enthusiastic members of the Roman Empire. A few adopted roman ways to... more...
