The Law of Loyalty is a study of the principles governing the use of legal powers that are held for other-regarding ends. It addresses both public law and private law, and examines both the common law and the civil law. It aims to provide a theory of how Western law regulates the situations in which we hold legal powers, not for ourselves, but for and on behalf of others. It does this by elucidating the justificatory principles that are attracted in those situations. These principles include that other-regarding powers can only properly be used for the purposes for which they were granted; that they should not be used when the holder is in a conflict of self-interest and duty, or a conflict of duty and duty; and that the holder is presumptively accountable for any profits extracted from the other-regarding role. These principles stand behind the detailed legal rules that govern these relationships in multiple legal systems and in multiple public and private settings. In private law this includes the powers of trustees, corporate directors, agents and mandataries; in public law it includes all powers held for public purposes, whether they be held by the Prime Minister, by a police officer, or by a judge.

Tapestry Lawns: Freed from Grass and Full of Flowers

Swathes of the human world are covered in ornamental grass lawns; they are the single most commonly encountered horticultural feature on the planet. Unfortunately, they are now often viewed as resource-draining green deserts due to the lack of plant and animal diversity, the need for frequent mowing and watering, and addition of lawn greening products to keep them looking at their best. It is a venerable horticultural feature that is essentially frozen in time, and with few alternatives to whet the appetite, the lawn has languished in its current grass-only format for decades. Until now. Tapestry lawns are a new, practically researched and timely development of the ornamental lawn format that integrates both horticultural practice and ecological science and re-determines the potential of a lawn. Mown barely a handful of times a year and with no need for fertilisers or scarifying, tapestry lawns are substantially richer in their diversity of plant and animal life compared to traditional grass-only lawns and see the return of flowers and colour to a format from which they are usually purposefully excluded.
Tapestry Lawns: Freed from Grass and Full of Flowers traces the changes in the lawn format from its origins to the modern day and offers information on how and why the tapestry lawn construct is now achievable. It provides guidance on how to create and maintain a tapestry lawn of your own and champions the potential benefits for wildlife that can follow. 
Features <ul>
<li>Accessible and informative to all types of readers from academic to amateur</li> <li>Includes a refined and tested set of useful tapestry lawn plants</li> <li>Contains step-by-step instructions for creation and management methods of grass-free lawns</li> <li>Illustrated in full colour</li>
</ul>
If you have ever thought about mowing your lawn much less, making it much more colourful and wildlife friendly, then this book will inform and guide you to create a perfect, grass-free lawn.

A missionary pilot trainer’s close encounters with death are a living testimony of God’s great grace.  Providence or luck, it’s whatever you want to call it. Most of the flights in this book, by human standards, should have been my last.  Are you a pilot or thinking about becoming one? Learn important lessons that you can’t afford to learn on your own. You will learn the specifics of what saved me in various situations usually not covered in pilot training. You will learn about triggers that provide warning signs, helping avoid unfortunate situations before it’s too late.  All the stories in this book are not about aviation, so if you are not a pilot there is still something here for you. You will be challenged to learn from your own mistakes as well as mine. And sometimes, you can laugh at the craziness of my mistakes.
