About this book

The enactment of the Divorce Reform Act 1969 was a landmark moment in family law. Coming into force in 1971, it had a significant impact on legal practice and was followed by a dramatic increase in divorce rates, reflecting changes in social attitudes.

This new interdisciplinary collection explores the background to the 1969 Act and its influence on law and society. Bringing together scholars from law, sociology, history, demography, and film and literature, it reflects on the changes to divorce law and practice over the past 50 years, and the changing impact of divorce on different people in society, particularly women.

As such, it offers a 'biography' of this important piece of legislation, moving from its conception and birth, through its reception and development, to its imminent demise. Looking to the future, and to the new law introduced by the Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020, this collection suggests ways for evaluating what makes a 'good' divorce law.

This brilliant collection gives insight not only into this crucial piece of legislation, but also into a key period of societal change.

Cannabis Analysis: Methods and Techniques for a Growing Industry
<p><i>Cannabis Analysis: Methods and Techniques for a Growing Industry</i> focuses on the need for the scientific, therapeutic and economic expansion of the cannabis industry and the accurate analysis of composition and contaminants. While there is an extensive body of scientific work focused on analytical methodologies for cannabinoid compounds, the bulk of the literature is devoted to forensics and analysis for law enforcement purposes. This marks the first analytical book to address these challenges that uses a focused and scientific approach. A sheer lack of uniformity in the industry poses risks and challenges for patients, growers and state agencies tasked with overseeing cannabis laws.</p> <p>Written by academics and professionals whose work focuses on cannabis and its properties, this book serves as the reference standard for analytical methods in the cannabis industry. </p>
