"[This book] will be of great value to practitioners, students, academics and judges - whatever their level of experience. [.] The trouble for many legal practitioners, and indeed for many legal book writers, can be a failure to see the wood for the trees, and that is a particular risk when it comes to a subject as fissiparous as statutory interpretation. David Lowe and Charlie Potter are to be congratulated for having avoided that risk: they have written a crisp and engaging book, which covers this important topic in an informative and accessible way." From the foreword by David Neuberger Understanding Legislation provides a practical, accessible guide to interpreting both English and European legislation of all kinds. This book can be used as a first port of call for practitioners and students on all matters of statutory construction. It is designed to serve as a succinct and authoritative point of reference for questions concerning sources of legislation, the anatomy and structure of differing instruments and matters of interpretation. As well as considering how to read statutory language, and the key principles and presumptions that the courts will apply, the book addresses how other legislation and materials can influence the interpretive exercise and in what way. To this end, it discusses the interpretive significance of the different components of legislation, the various external aids to construction that may exist, and the role of international law, the European Convention on Human Rights (through the Human Rights Act 1998) and EU law in interpreting domestic law. While the primary focus is on English law, the treatment of EU and international law will also serve as concise freestanding guidance as to the sources of EU law, the construction of EU legislation and the construction of treaties.

Viola and Carl risk their reputations and academic careers for an illicit passion - music - which they hide under the respectable cover of an affair. The year is 2063, and actual music-making has become taboo, replaced in popularity and esteem by the spectacle around it, notably their specialism: the balletic art of page-turning, or Paginatorics. A newcomer to their department, the management-speaking Stephen Pendleton, is given charge of a reorganisation that quickly becomes unusually purposeful. His intent is unclear, but threatening. What does he know, and who is really giving him his orders? And why is a routine girls-night-out for Viola taking on an increasingly sinister edge? As threats multiply, the quest for answers enmeshes a widening circle of friends and colleagues, most notably the almost-human librarians. But who are the conspirators, and are they actually in control?

Then his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, I will once more shake not only the earth but heaven too. Hebrews 12:26 This verse contains a key to understanding the mystery of the last trumpet that will sound at the future resurrection of the dead in Christ. While Earthquake Resurrection focused on the pattern of earthquakes coinciding with the resurrection of the dead to immortaility, Then His Voice Shook the Earth focuses on how the voice of the Lord shook the earth and Mt. Sinai and will once more shake both the earth and the heavens. Then His Voice Shook the Earth features all the important points of the first book, but also includes abundant new and exciting information.
