The first comprehensive sourcebook devoted to historical archaeology, a relatively new and increasingly significant field of study which blends together the theories and methods of anthropology, history, and archaeology.

A Compilation of 35 original essays, articles, and site reports by highly regarded scholars in their fields. This impressive, international list of authors discuss the methodical basis of the various disciplines with reports of substantive contribution covering a wide range of regions and time periods.

Continually recognized by instructors as a valuable sourcebook, Historical Archaeology has been used as text or supplementary text on both the under-graduate and graduate levels.

Those using the book as a primer--general readers or professional archaeologists entering the field for the first time--will find Historical Archaeology to be a lucid and easy-reading text, one in which to turn to for answers to many questions about historical archaeology.

The text is divided into the following five parts:

Part 1--Emergence and Definition of a New Discipline, and Part 2--Subfields of Historical Archaeology, introduce the discipline in a number of early classic papers and more recent statements that define the subject matter, purpose and orientation of all potential subfields of historical archaeology.

Part 3--Substantive Contributions, offers examples of the end product of two decades of research on historic sites, and analysis of historic artifacts, and assemblages, arranged in hierarchical sequence.

Part 4--Theoretical Positions, and Part 5--Future Trends, shift the emphasis from substantive results to theory. The implications of an anthropological orientation, which has become dominant in the field, are seen in the final section of the book discussing very recent innovations in method and a set of continuing theoretical problems that are far from solution..

Arbitration of overseas investment disputes is one of the fastest growing areas of international dispute resolution The exponential growth of international investment in recent years has led to the signature of over two thousand Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs) between foreign states, in addition to a wealth of multilateral treaties and other forms of concession agreements. Disputes that have arisen are often resolved through the forum of international arbitration, and typically involve claims by an investor company for compensation when an investment has been illegally expropriated or adversely affected by the state's activities.

The legal principles that have developed in this area are subject to intense debate, and are still in a state of flux. While tribunals routinely state that they are applying principles of public international law to determine disputes, many of the principles applied have only been developed recently in the context of investment treaty arbitrations, and tribunals are often guided more by the approaches taken by other tribunals, than by pre-existing doctrines of public international law. However, the volume of law created, applied and analyzed by tribunals is such that it is now possible to begin the necessary process of codification. International Investment Arbitration: Substantive Principles is an important step in this process. The book provides a detailed analytical survey of the developing substantive principles which are being applied to disputes by international investment tribunals. It considers the key questions that arise, and provides a clear description of the present state of the law as reflected in tribunal practice. The book examines the main treaties, analyzes published investment awards, and provides in-depth coverage of where investment disputes come from; who is a foreign investor, including nationality issues and foreign control; what is an investment; investor's rights, including admission to territories and State treatment of investors; expropriation; compensation; dispute resolution; transfer, assignment and subrogation; and future trends.

As the volume of international investment arbitration grows, international law firms are increasingly having to acquire expertise in all aspects of this specialized and rapidly developing field. Written by a leading author team from Herbert Smith and Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, and benefiting from the public and private international law experience of Professor Campbell McLachlan, this book is an essential reference work for international arbitration counsel, arbitrators, and academics..

In this book, Edward Keynes examines the fundamental-rights philosophy and jurisprudence that affords constitutional protection to unenumerated liberty, property, and privacy rights. He is critical of the failure of the U.S. Supreme Court to adopt a coherent theory for identifying which rights are to be considered fundamental and how these private rights are to be balanced against the public interests that the government has a duty to articulate and promote. Keynes develops his argument by first surveying how substantive due process grew out of the tradition of Anglo-American jurisprudence and came to evolve over time. He pays special attention to the shift in its application early in the twentieth century, from protecting "liberty of contract" against economic regulation to protecting "privacy" and other noneconomic rights (as in Roe v. Wade) against social regulation..

Supreme Court Justice John Marshall Harlan (1833-1911) is best known for condemning racial segregation in his dissent from Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896, when he declared, "Our Constitution is color-blind." But in other judicial decisions—as well as in some areas of his life—Harlan's actions directly contradicted the essence of his famous statement. Similarly, Harlan was called the people's judge for favoring income tax and antitrust laws, yet he also upheld doctrines that benefited large corporations.

Examining these and other puzzles in Harlan's judicial career, Linda Przybyszewski draws on a rich array of previously neglected sources—including the verbatim transcripts of his 1897-98 lectures on constitutional law, his wife's 1915 memoirs, and a compilation of opinions, drawn up by Harlan himself, that he wanted republished. Her thoughtful examination demonstrates how Harlan inherited the traditions of paternalism, nationalism, and religious faith; how he reshaped these traditions in light of his experiences as a lawyer, political candidate, and judge; and how he justified the vision of the law he wrote.

An innovative combination of personal and judicial biography, this book makes an insightful contribution to American constitutional and intellectual history..
