Описание: Judges have the toughest job on the mean streets of Dredd's Mega-City One, and sometimes the temptations of crime are too much and they cross the line. This is what happens when Dredd finds out. THE WRONG SIDE OF THE LAW! It takes a special kind of cop to police the nightmarish streets of Mega-City One - a violent post-apocalyptic city built on top of North America's old East Coast. An army of future lawmen, wielding the powers of judge, jury and executioner now keep order in this crime-ridden place. Known as the 'Judges', most of these men and women serve as the ultimate law enforcers - beyond reproach and resistant to corruption, they are the best the world has ever seen. But there's always one or two who succumb to lawless behaviour and with years of intense training and experience to draw upon, these Judges are the most dangerous individuals on the planet! This collection includes stories about those Judges too corrupt to uphold the law! From Judge Dredd co-creator John Wagner (A History of Violence) and comics superstar Mark Millar (Kick-Ass), featuring the amazing art of Chris Weston (The Filth), Will Simpson (Hellblazer), Steve Yeowell (The Invisibles) and Greg Staples (Bad Planet), amongst others.
Автор: Taylor Marion, De Groot Christiana Название: Women of War, Women of Woe: Joshua and Judges Through the Eyes of Nineteenth-Century Female Biblical Interpreters ISBN: 0802873022 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780802873026 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 33570.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: The stories of such women as Rahab, Deborah, Jael, Delilah, Jephthah's daughter, and the Levite's concubine raised thorny questions for nineteenth-century female biblical interpreters. Could a Victorian woman use her intelligence to negotiate like Rahab? Was the seemingly well-educated Deborah an appropriate role model? Or did Jephthah's daughter more correctly model a pious woman's life as she submitted to her father's vow?
This unique volume gathers select writings by thirty-five nineteenth-century women on the stories of several women in Joshua and Judges. Recovering and analyzing neglected works from Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and many others, Women of War, Women of Woe illuminates the biblical text, recovers a neglected chapter of reception history, and helps us understand and apply Scripture in our present context.
Автор: Michal Bobek Название: Central European Judges Under the European Influence: The Transformative Power of the EU Revisited ISBN: 1849467749 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781849467742 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 100320.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: At the onset of the 2004, European Union enlargement witnessed a number of predictions that were being made about the approaches, capacity, and ability of Central European judges who were soon to join the EU. Optimistic voices, foreshadowing the deep transformative power that Europe was bound to exercise with respect to the judicial mentality and practice in the new Member States, were intertwined with gloomy pictures of post-Communist limited formalism and mechanical jurisprudence that could not be reformed (which were likely to undermine the very foundations of the mutual trust and recognition the judicial system of the EU is built upon). Now, ten years later, this book revisits these predictions and critically assesses the evolution of Central European judicial mentality, institutions, and constitutionality under the influence of the EU membership. Comparatively evaluating the situation in a number of Central European Member States in their socio-legal contexts - notably Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Bulgaria, and Romania - the book offers unique insights into the process of (non)Europeanization of national legal systems and cultures.
