Peter Sellers was one of the biggest stars of the 1960s and '70s, first known for such radio characters as Bluebottle in the popular series  The Goon Show  before achieving global fame as Chief Inspector Clouseau in the Pink Panther series. What is lesser known, however, is that he got his start during a three-year stint in the Royal Air Force, performing in entertainment units known as Gang Shows.Now, for the first time, this story can be told.  Bluebottle Goes to War  is the tale of the formation of the remarkable talents of one of the greatest comedians of the twentieth century. Further, it illuminates a small corner of World War II history that seems uniquely British, detailing how groups of servicemen and women were sent around the world with hampers full of theatrical props and costumes to rally the troops in distant outposts. Describing how Sellers’ storied career began in the RAF, this book reveals previously unknown film footage, photos, performances, broadcasts, and recordings

Putting technology front and centre in our thinking about law, this book introduces Law 3.0: the future of the legal landscape. Technology not only disrupts the traditional idea of what it is ‘to think like a lawyer,’ as per Law 1.0; it presents major challenges to regulators who are reasoning in a Law 2.0 mode. As this book demonstrates, the latest developments in technology offer regulators the possibility of employing a technical fix rather than just relying on rules – thus, we are introducing Law 3.0. Law 3.0 represents, so to speak, the state we are in and the conversation that we now need to have, and this book identifies some of the key points for discussion in that conversation. Thinking like a lawyer might continue to be associated with Law 1.0, but from 2020 onward, Law 3.0 is the conversation that we all need to join. And, as this book argues, law and the evolution of legal reasoning cannot be adequately understood unless we grasp the significance of technology in shaping both legal doctrine and our regulatory thinking. This is a book for those studying, or about to study, law – as well as others with interests in the legal, political, and social impact of technology.

The book offers a comprehensive examination of key themes in contract law, emphasizing its recent developments and changes within the context of English law. Roger Brownsword's expert insights make complex legal concepts accessible to a broader audience. The updated edition includes discussions on contemporary issues and landmark cases, notably the Europeanization of contract law and the Great Peace Shipping case, reflecting the dynamic nature of legal principles in this field.

Exploring the shift from legal frameworks to technological management in addressing crime, health, and environmental safety, the book examines the implications of this transformation. It questions the effectiveness and consequences of relying on technology for regulation instead of traditional laws, prompting a critical analysis of how society navigates these changes and their impact on governance and individual rights.

Focusing on the intersection of law and technology, this book presents a fresh perspective on legal education, addressing the challenges and opportunities that arise from rapid technological advancements. It aims to equip readers with a modern understanding of legal principles in the context of today's digital landscape.

Inequality has at last taken centre stage in the political discourse, but there is very little to explain the inequality debates and to offer solutions for the UK. This introductory book provides a comprehensive survey of all the available evidence, looking at both sides of the inequality argument.

In the context of the technological disruption of law and, in particular, the prospect of governance by machines, this book reconsiders the demand that we should respect the law, simply because it is the law.
