Sommario/riassunto

It is remarkable that 10 years after the Human Rights Act came into effect, and with further reform possible, there are still no clear answers to basic questions about the relationship between the Human Rights Act, human rights principles and the common law. Such basic questions include: what is the Human Rights Act? What is the relationship



between human rights principles and common law doctrines in public law? Do traditional public law principles need to be replaced? How has the Human Rights Act altered the constitutional relationship between the courts, government and Parliament in the UK? Public Law After the Human Rights Act proposes answers to these questions. Unlike other books on the Human Rights Act, the book looks beyond the Human Rights Act itself to its effect on public law as a whole. The book articulates in novel ways the relationship between the Act and administrative and constitutional law. It suggests that the Human Rights Act has built on the common law constitution. The discussion focuses on core topics in modern public law, including, the constitutional status of the Human Rights Act; the relationship between human rights and the common law; the Human Rights Act's effect on central doctrines of public law such as reasonableness, proportionality and process review; the structure of public law in the human rights era; derogation and emergencies; and the right of access to a court

Sommario/riassunto

Money speaks in everyday life and in literature of our greed and our generosity, our pride and our humiliation and as it passes among us it shows our creativity and our ability to co-operate even while it can also lead us to fight to the death. This book is for psychological therapists and for the general reader interested in human nature. Money has mattered since the first human attempts to symbolise value and enable people to wait for the return on their own labours. Since the financial crisis of 2008 its impact at a macro as well as a micro level is inescapable. It has become a means of exchange, much like language and has opened up social mobility to factors other than birth. This book looks at the origin of money and its history but most of all, what attitudes to money tell us about the way we connect to each other.

Sommario/riassunto

This book presents the evolution of uniform approximations of continuous functions. Starting from the simple case of a real continuous function defined on a closed real interval, i.e., the Weierstrass approximation theorems, it proceeds up to the abstract case of approximation theorems in a locally convex lattice of (M) type. The most important generalizations of Weierstrass’ theorems obtained by Korovkin, Bohman, Stone, Bishop, and Von Neumann are also included. In turn, the book presents the approximation of continuous functions defined on a locally compact space (the functions from a weighted space) and that of continuous differentiable functions defined on ¡n. In closing, it highlights selected approximation theorems in locally convex lattices of (M) type. The book is intended for advanced and graduate students of mathematics, and can also serve as a resource for researchers in the field of the theory of functions.
