Missionaries and their medicine is a lucid and enthralling study of the encounter between Christian missionaries and an Indian tribal community, the Bhils, in the period 1880 to 1964. The study is informed by a deep knowledge of the people amongst whom the missionaries worked, the author having lived for extensive periods in the tribal tracts of western India. He argues that the Bhils were never the passive objects of missionary attention and that they created for themselves their own form of 'Christian modernity.' The book provides a major intervention in the history of colonial medicine, as Hardiman argues that missionary medicine had a specific quality of its own - which he describes and analyses in detail - and that in most cases it was preferred to the medicine of colonial states. He also examines the period of transition to Indian independence, which was a highly fraught and uncertain process for the missionaries. ;

Kevin Gogarty hat es zurzeit wirklich nicht leicht: Er ist arbeitslos, Hausmann, kümmert sich um die vier Kinder. Für die pubertierende Tochter Aideen fällt ihm nur noch ein Mittel ein, um den Familienfrieden zu retten: Ab ins Internat mit ihr. Und als seine Mutter, Oma Millie, wiederholt beim Ladendiebstahl erwischt wird, heuert er für die renitente alte Dame eine Aufpasserin an – Probleme gelöst! Tatsächlich? Als Millie merkt, dass ihre Aufpasserin noch geschickter klaut als sie selbst, schnappt sie sich kurzerhand Aideen aus dem Internat – und eine wilde Jagd auf Omas Erspartes beginnt. Eine urkomische, turbulente und herzerwärmende Geschichte über verrückte Familienbande und darüber, dass es nie zu spät ist, das Leben in vollen Zügen zu genießen.

This volume brings together academics and judges to consider ideas and arguments flowing from the often complex relationships between law and politics, adjudication and policy-making, and the judicial and political branches of government. Contributors explore numerous themes, including the nature and extent of judicial power, the European Court of Human Rights decision in O'Keeffe v Ireland, the process of appointing judges and judicial representation, judicial power and political processes. Contrasting judicial and academic perspectives are provided on the role of the European Court of Human Rights and the nature of exhausting domestic remedies, including a contribution from the late Mr. Justice Adrian Hardiman. The role of specific judges, social and political disputes and case law are examined and socio-economic rights, the rule of law and electoral processes are all addressed.
