The Privileges or Immunities Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment is arguably the most historically important clause of the most significant part of the US Constitution. Designed to be a central guarantor of civil rights and civil liberties following Reconstruction, this clause could have been at the center of most of the country''s constitutional controversies, not only during Reconstruction, but in the modern period as well; yet for a variety of historical reasons, including precedent-setting narrow interpretations, the Privileges or Immunities Clause has been cast aside by the Supreme Court. This book investigates the Clause in a textualist-originalist manner, an approach increasingly popular among both academics and judges, to examine the meanings actually expressed by the text in its original context. Arguing for a revival of the Privileges or Immunities Clause, author Christopher Green lays the groundwork for assessing the originalist credentials of such areas of law as school segregation, state action, sex discrimination, incorporation of the Bill of Rights against states, the relationship between tradition and policy analysis in assessing fundamental rights, and the Fourteenth Amendment rights of corporations and aliens. Thoroughly argued and historically well-researched, this book demonstrates that the Privileges or Immunities Clause protects liberty and equality, and it will be of interest to legal academics, American legal historians, and anyone interested in American constitutional history.

The newest volume in the Bible Speaks Today Bible Themes Series, The Message of the Church offers an encouraging exposition on the church''s mission and nature from select Old Testament and New Testament texts.

El autor aborda la estructura pictórica y escultórica y, sobre todo, la arquitectura del conocimiento y de la sociedad en la obra de Picasso, es decir, las estructuras de la tradición, de las diferencias raciales, sociales y culturales, de la lógica y de la tecnología, proponiendo nuevas vías para apreciar la oscilación entre orden y desorden en la obra de Picasso, así como la confrontación y el reto que su obra supuso respecto a las arquitecturas de la ortodoxia. Tal reto comienza con una serie de intervenciones que el artista protagonizó en la turbulenta historia europea de los primeros años veinte, que revelan su postura respecto a temas vitales como la raza, la diferencia cultural, la modernidad, la sexualidad y el descontento de la civilización.

This volume is in the series of scholarly catalogues of The Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection deals with some of the most innovative artworks of the first half of the twentieth century. More than forty artists from ten countries, including France, Spain, Italy, Britain and the Netherlands, are represented, and the catalogue throws fresh light on a period of intense creative ferment in the visual arts. An illustrated catalogue of 97 works by more than 40 artists: Georges Braque, Salvador Dalí, Theo van Doesburg, Juan Gris, Piet Mondrian, Picasso. Christopher Green''s introductory essay presents a valuable overview of the complex period, teasing out the various lines of inquiry and elucidating the central themes. His catalogue offers new research on significant groups of works by Braque, Ernst, Gris, Kupka, Leger, Picasso, and Schwitters, as well as important discoveries concerning major paintings by Balla, Bomberg, Dali, Miro and Wadsworth. A special feature of many entries is the use of technical investigations to address questions concerning processes of conception and making. Fresh light is thrown on the so-called ''automatist'' procedures of the leading Surrealists (especially Ernst), on the open-ended working methods of the leading Cubists and Mondrian, and on the explicitly mechanistic methods of artists like Van Doesburg or Servranckx. Based on extensive documentary and archival research, this latest catalogue of The Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection makes a major contribution to twentieth century art history.

This illustrated book focuses on the aesthetic impact ancient art had on twentieth-century artists Picasso, de Chirico, Léger, and Picabia between 1906 and 1936.

Four decades ago, archetypal psychology offered a different way of viewing all things psychological. As radical and useful as this move was forty years ago, however, it is time to question the sustainability of tenets like these for our contemporary world. As the highly turbulent 21st Century enters its second decade, it is time to ask ourselves "why archetypes?" and "why images?" This book explores these questions through a variety of topics, ranging from clinical psychology, death, cultural colonialism, paranoia, feminism, ecology, education, capitalism to politics. This book is committed to the fact that an archetypal approach should not estrange us from mundane reality; it should facilitate a stronger, more complex, and more active involvement with it. This is what archetypal studies are setting out to do-yes: to do.

First there was the Toddler Taming phenomenon - now this is the sequel every parent has been waiting for... Dr Christopher Green has written Beyond Toddlerdom for all those parents in need of calm and wise advice on parenting the 5-12 year age group. The 5-12s have to face a number of developmental hurdles. They become aware of the world outside the home. They will start school, make friends, take up hobbies and develop personal interests. They may move house, may live through a parental divorce, and will develop personality patterns that will stay with them for life. It is an important time. Writing with his usual humourous, practical and down-to earth style, Chris Green draws on his many years of expertise as a paediatrician, father and grandfather to enable parents to understand their child''s needs and development during their pre-teen years. He takes full account of all the physical, psychological and sociological influences that are of importance during this time - and helps parents to make appropriate decisions about everything from friends to homework, sibling rivalry to positive discipline. Beyond Toddlerdom is the ideal companion to Chris Green''s Toddler Taming ''bible'' and is a must for every parent.

Our study is addressed to the question of how the costs of compliance with regulation are distributed among the population. Essentially our study attempts to answer the question: What can be said about the distribution of benefits and costs of regulation?...Why should we be interested in the distribution of the costs of regulation? One reason is simply to emphaisze that regulation is not a neutral exercise. There are beneficiaries and "victims", gainers and losers. Even if there is a net social benefit from a regulatory regime costs are imposed on someone....To the extent regulation is effective, the protected can be deemed the beneficiaries and those whose actions are proscribed are losers. If we find scarce resources are used up in the regulatory process, there is an added cost to society in the form of reduced final output and higher prices, although the quality of the output or the environment in which the output is consumed may "improve" in sone sense.
