Book Description
This new edition sets banking law clearly against the background of general legal doctrines and discusses its operation in the context of its wider economic function. Although focusing on English law, considerable use is made of illuminating US, Canadian, and Australian examples as well. Part One examines the different types of banks and banking organizations operating in the United Kingdom and reviews the new regulatory regime for banking under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. Part Two analyses the banker and customer relationship, explaining the different types of accounts available, the duties and trustee liability of banks, and the latest processes used in the clearance of cheques and money transfers. Part Three then discusses issues relating to overdrafts, bank loans, credit agreements, securities, and mortgages. Fully updated and revised to take into account the considerable changes in banking law, regulation, and practice that have taken place in recent years, this edition contains substantial new material on the new regulatory regime, electronic banking and the implications of electronic money transfers, lender liability (including liability for environmental damage), recovery of mistaken payments, syndicated lending, and on tracing and banker liability as constructive trustee.

Book Description
MacDonald develops a theory of anti-Semitism based on an evolutionary interpretation of social identity theory. Historical examples of anti-Semitism are analyzed as scientifically comprehensible gentile responses to a distinctive, segregated group. Anti-Semitism has historically been exacerbated by resource competition between Jews and gentiles. Jews have engaged in a wide range of strategies to try to combat it. These strategies include: crypsis, political activity, writing religious and intellectual apologia directed at both ingroup and outgroup members, and engaging in self-deception regarding both the nature of Judaism and gentile responses to Judaism.

Book Description
This book is about water - in Britain, and in the world. It is about water resources, their conservation, protection of water quality for human consumption and aquatic ecosystems. Since the publication of the first edition in 1998, major political and regulatory changes have taken place; this book provides a clear and comprehensive update of conservation and water resource management issues in the UK over the past two decades, and – in an expansion of its original UK perspective – now includes examples of global best practice. The UK’s 2003 adoption of the EU Water Framework Directive has had enormous implications for the conservation and management of our water resources. In 2016, with the UK’s decision to leave the EU, the governance scene is entering upon an unpredictable future regarding its major water resource policies. The Protection and Conservation of Water Resources, Second edition provides a clear and comprehensive update of conservation and water resource management issues. Chapter 1 deals with sustainability and water policy, outlines the issues and challenges, and asks: what is integrated water management? Chapter 2 reviews water availability and sufficiency in Britain, while Chapter 3 explores the dynamic between institutions and legislative framework. Chapter 4 introduces the catchment approach, and chapters 5 and 6 explore the issues of sustaining bulk supply and the imperatives of climate change. Chapter 7 looks at the contemporary background to water quality issues, and Chapter 8 provides case studies of catchment problems, both urban and rural. Chapter 9 describes solutions in land use change, including technical fixes and their sustainability. Chapter 10 is concerned with emerging governance arrangements, and Chapter 11 takes a global view, looking at successful examples around the world to find positive lessons from Europe, north America and Australia.
