On the eight-hundredth anniversary of the Magna Carta, Women and the Magna Carta investigates what the charter meant for women's rights and freedoms from an historical and legal perspective.
Benjamin, a Christian, and his Jewish spouse, Stephen, are already Registered Domestic Partners when they learn they are about to be given the legal right to marry in California. They promptly do so, only to find that well-heeled religious groups will do virtually anything in order to use the ballot box to unravel their union. And, despite the fact Benjamin is a lawyer, they find they can't actually afford the detached home they need to start a family. On the other hand, Benjamin's brother James seems to have no trouble borrowing to buy homes, cars, boats and whatever else he wants, as he works for a rapidly-growing and newly-founded mortgage brokerage that funds 'liar's loans.' However, when the real estate market starts to turn, things begin to change....
This volume is the first to explore the vibrant history of Magna Carta in Aotearoa New Zealand’s legal, political and popular culture. Readers will benefit from in-depth analyses of the Charter’s reception along with explorations of its roles in regard to larger constitutional themes. The common thread that binds the collection together is its exploration of what the adoption of a medieval charter as part of New Zealand’s constitutional arrangements has meant – and might mean – for a Pacific nation whose identity remains in flux. The contributions to this volume are grouped around three topics: remembrance and memorialization of Magna Carta; the reception of the Charter by both Māori and non-Māori between 1840 and 2015; and reflection on the roles that the Charter may yet play in future constitutional debate. This collection provides evidence of the enduring attraction of Magna Carta, and its importance as a platform of constitutional aspiration.
What is immortality and what is forever? When the ancient families send the Valknut to investigate a mysterious entity known as the Fog, they find yet another Sign.

Now an ancient evil has laid claim to his life and his only hope lies inside the walls of the Academy. Is the time for reckoning upon this world or are the signs misleading? Only time will tell, only the Immortal can show us the way.
