Andrew Green

Law in a Changing World explores how climate change is reshaping the law, drawing on contributions from legal scholars across diverse fields. The book examines how climate change impacts areas such as governance, justice, housing, and disability law. Rather than focusing on climate law alone, the chapters explore how climate change is challenging foundational legal concepts and demanding adaptations across various sectors.The authors consider the roles of international, Indigenous, and domestic legal systems in addressing climate-related issues. Topics include climate justice for vulnerable populations, the role of government in crisis management, and the intersection of law with emerging challenges like housing and disability rights. Law in a Changing World provides a comprehensive, cross-disciplinary examination of how legal frameworks can respond to climate-related emergencies and injustices, offering fresh perspectives on the role of law in a warming world. It is an essential read for those interested in the intersection of law, policy, and climate change.

Originally published in 1977 Phantom Ladies is an alphabetical, county-by-county guide to hauntings across Great Britain and the first book to concentrate exclusively upon female ghosts. Compiled by veteran ghost hunter Andrew Green (1927-2004) it is now updated for the 21st century by Alan Murdie, Chairman of the Ghost Club (founded 1862).Traditional ghosts, such as nuns and unhappy lovers, form the majority of cases but there are many others, including actresses, aristocrats, mothers with their babies and even a highwaywoman There is the same variety in the sites of the hauntings, with golf clubhouses, multi-storey carparks, industrial estates and pubs sharing the honours with more customary ancient castles, historic churches and antique ruins.Many cases have been personally investigated by both authors across the years, sifting the evidence of witnesses and separating genuine hauntings from those which are tricks of the imagination or have purely natural causes.Additionally, it includes extra commentary and discussion of ghostly experiences involving phantom females, includes an examination of mysterious 'Lady in White' phenomenon found not only throughout the British Isles but in different cultures across the world and which poses a challenge to psychical research.Also acting as gazetteer to touring ghost hunters it provides guidance on how to conduct investigations and road and rail directions to each site open to the public.

Cader Idris, one of the highest mountains in southern Eryri (Snowdonia) Wales, rich in mythological and historical associations. Cader Idris has always held a strong attraction to visual artists, despite this, Cader Idris and the Artists is the first book to discuss the artistic depiction of the mountain, from the 1760s to the present day.

Cader Idris, one of the highest mountains in southern Eryri (Snowdonia) Wales, rich in mythological and historical associations. Cader Idris has always held a strong attraction to visual artists, despite this, Cader Idris and the Artists is the first book to discuss the artistic depiction of the mountain, from the 1760sto the present day. From Richard Wilson (1714-1782), to J.M.W. Turner (1775-1851), Cornelius Varley (1781-1873), John Sell Cotman (1782-1842), Kyffin Williams (1918-2006) and Bedwyr Williams's 2016 futuristic video presentations of the mountain, Green guides the reader to view this famous mountain in many different ways, from different viewpoints and from different perspectives. Through artists' works, the reader is invited to trace the changing styles and modes of visual artists from the late eighteenth century to the present day, from classicism to Romanticism, and on to modernism, abstraction and conceptualism. Green shows us how, throughout the last 300 years, the mountain has stood tall, overlooking the ever-changing world, and remained a reliable source of artistic inspiration.

This book presents an exploration of how Golden Age detective fiction encounters educational ideas, particularly those forged by the transformative educational policymaking of the interwar period. Charting the educational policy and provision of the era, and referring to works by Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, Edmund Crispin and others, this book explores the educational capacity and agency of literary detectives, the learning spaces of the genre and the kinds of knowledge that are made available to inquirers both inside and outside the text. It is argued that the genre explores a range of contemporaneous propositions on the balance between academic curriculum and practicum, length of school life and the value of lifelong learning. This book’s closing chapter considers the continuing pedagogic value for contemporary classrooms of engaging with the genre as a rich discursive and imaginative space for exploring educational ideas. Framing Golden Age detective fiction as a genre profoundly concerned with learning, this book will be highly relevant reading for academics, postgraduate students and scholars involved in the fields of English language arts, twentieth-century literature and the theories of learning more broadly. Those interested in detective fiction and interdisciplinary literary studies will also find the volume of interest.

The legendary follow up to Junglist, Bass Instinct takes us on odyssey across '90s London as a young black man and his extended family of friends, colleagues and fellow bike couriers navigate love, sex, work, partying and the quest for the perfect bassline- all soundtracked by deep cuts from the decades essential R&B.Bass Instinct’s raw and gritty style mixes poetry and realism in equal measure, unafraid to go to the places most contemporary books shy away from. Caught up in a love of black British bass culture and the way it overlaps with America’s profound musical legacy, Bass Instinct looks at the magic of music and how one tune might shape your destiny to become a DJ. Back in print for the first time in thirty years, Bass Instinct Is both a time capsule, capturing the colour and noise of a particular moment, and an enduring story of the struggles of being young and hungry in the big, bad city.

Mexican rock history has tended to end as Mexican democracy begins. The history of the genre has often been narrated teleologically: apparently censored under single-party rule after the scandalous AvÁndaro Festival of 1971, rock constituted a potent expression of freedom in the late twentieth century, forging a strong association with Mexico’s transition away from authoritarian rule and toward neoliberal democracy. There is another story to tell, however, about the transformations in ideology underpinning rock’s emergent, cascading histories in Mexico, and about ways that these transformations have been contested. Placing history and ethnography into dialogue, Making Mexican Rock tells this story, reflecting on the imbrication of scholarship and journalism with the legitimizing myths of neoliberal globalization. Ethnomusicologist Andrew Green provides a counterpoint to studies of Latin American rock in which the state constitutes the “prime mover” of censorship against the genre. Eric Zolov’s Refried Elvis, still considered the definitive history of Mexican rock, concludes that the state censored rock by preventing its commercialization, and that rock led the resistance against single-party rule during the democratic transition. Rock is understood, here, as a consistent antagonist of monolithic state power. Making Mexican Rock presumes a more distributed account of censorship that reflects extra- and para-governmental sources of rock repression. There exist multiple “ends” of Mexican rock history, episodes of censorship which have recurred periodically ever since rock’s arrival to Mexico in the late 1950s, and there are shifts in ideology that change how these episodes are remembered—or indeed whether they are remembered at all.

Canada has over-promised and under-delivered on climate change, setting weak goals and allowing carve-outs, exceptions, and exemptions to undermine its climate policies. Why, in an era when climate change is front of mind for so many people, have we failed to make progress? This question has been the source of heated debate across the political spectrum. In Picking Up the Slack, Andrew Green draws together different perspectives on the challenge facing Canada to offer an accessible account of the ideas and institutions that have impeded climate change action. Picking Up the Slack embraces the complexity of the problem, showing that its sources lie deep in Canada’s institutional arrangements – pointing to the role played by federal-provincial power sharing arrangements, the heavy reliance on discretion in Canadian law, the role of the courts, and the impact of social norms. Working from a broad perspective that incorporates the insights of economics, law, political science, and philosophy, Green unpacks the features of Canadian policy making that determine the successes and failures of climate policies. His message is ultimately optimistic: Picking Up the Slack sheds light on how we can bring about meaningful movement towards a fair and positive future.
