Law and Society in England 1750–1950 is an indispensable text for those wishing to study English legal history and to understand the foundations of the modern British state. In this new updated edition the authors explore the complex relationship between legal and social change. They consider the ways in which those in power themselves imagined and initiated reform and the ways in which they were obliged to respond to demands for change from outside the legal and political classes. What emerges is a lively and critical account of the evolution of modern rights and expectations, and an engaging study of the formation of contemporary social, administrative and legal institutions and ideas, and the road that was travelled to create them. The book is divided into eight chapters: Institutions and Ideas; Land; Commerce and Industry; Labour Relations; The Family; Poverty and Education; Accidents; and Crime. This extensively referenced analysis of modern social and legal history will be invaluable to students and teachers of English law, political science, and social history.

Investments that are listed on the stock exchange offer both flexibility and, due to the ASX? strict disclosure rules, transparency. While most people still associate the stock exchange with ordinary shares, there is actually a diverse range of products available: * Listed investment companies (LICs) have wide portfolios, principally in the industrial sector. These companies do not charge management fees (unlike managed funds). * Listed property trusts (LPTs) yield from 7% to 8% by investing in office towers, shopping centres, industrial parks, housing developments and hotels. They generally perform well in bear markets when the value of property often rises. * Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have portfolios modelled on an index such as the S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index. * Interest rate securities (IRSs) offer interest returns that are at a better rate than term deposits and sometimes with tax advantages. These include hybrids (resetable convertible preference shares), floating rate notes, convertible notes and company bonds. All of these investments are wonderful vehicles for the shrewd, long-term investor and Investing with the Professionals will take you through each. It covers tax issues, offers tips on valuing an investment and includes an exciting insight into the workings of an LIC, with an in-depth interview with Milton? CEO, Frank Gooch.
