Grotius on the Rights of War and Peace: An Abridged Translation. Edited for the Syndics of the University Press. Originally published: Cambridge: John W. Parker 1853. xxxix 485 pp. Reprinted 2009 2011 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584779421. ISBN-10: 158477942X. Hardcover. New. $29.95 Reprint of the sole edition of this abridged translation. In this momentous work Grotius describes the situations in which war is a valid tool of law enforcement and outlines the principles of armed combat. Though based on Christian natural law Grotius advanced the novel argument that his system would still be valid if it lacked a divine basis. In this regard he pointed to the future by moving international law in a secular direction. This edition was abridged by removing most of the quotations from "ancient historians orators philosophers and poets" which are identified in footnotes. As Whewell states in the preface they tended to "confuse the subject obscure the reasoning and weary the reader." By removing them he enhanced clarity and reduced the bulk of the work by "more than a half" vi. HUGO GROTIUS 1583-1645 a pre-eminent contributor to international legal doctrine was an influential Dutch jurist philosopher and theologian. Originally published in 1625 De Jure Belli ac Pacis On the Law of War and Peace translated by Whewell as On the Rights of War and Peace is widely considered to be the first modern treatise on international law. William Whewell 1794-1866 wrote on numerous subjects and is known for the breadth of his endeavors and his influence on the philosophy of science. He was one of the founding members and an early president of the British Association for the Advancement of Science a fellow of the Royal Society president of the Geological Society and longtime Master of Trinity College Cambridge. unknown

Farrar Straus & Giroux 1989. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Young's probing political biography reveals how Thatcher changed the face o f the Conservative Party in a series of "mighty battles" with the old guard tamed the trade unions controlled inflation and unemployment and by her conduct of the Falkland War and her dealings with Reagan and Gorbachev em erged as a global leader. Reviewing her tenure as a combative pragmatic pr ime minister with a driving sense of mission Young a journalist for the G uardian in England concludes that Thatcher has displayed the virtues and v ices of "a ruthless crusading leader who knew she was right and had the sup reme duty to remain in power." Her accomplishments have been extraordinary and yet as Young points out there is scant evidence that her countrymen l ike her let alone love her she does not seem to like them either he adds . And she has demonstrated that a political leader needn't be popular to b e effective. Farrar Straus & Giroux hardcover
