Regulatory Takings and the Environment
Botello-Samson reconceptualizes the relationship between regulatory agencies and regulatory takings litigation. By analyzing the impact of such litigation on the implementation of two federal environmental statutes, the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act and the Endangered Species Act, the author uncovers institutionalized characteristics of these regulatory regimes which insulate policy decision-making from the forces of a chilling effect. While these characteristics do not prevent a chilling effect, they do direct an understanding of regulatory takings litigation away from a total focus on economic costs and toward a focus on the hermeneutic and relational contexts that shape expectations of property use in a legally pluralistic environment.

Mary and Philip
The co-monarchy of Mary I and Philip II put England at the heart of early modern Europe. This positive reassessment of their joint reign counters a series of parochial, misogynist and anti-Catholic assumptions, correcting the many myths that have grown up around the marriage and explaining the reasons for its persistent marginalisation in the historiography of sixteenth-century England. Using new archival discoveries and original sources, the book argues for Mary as a great Catholic queen, while fleshing out Philip’s important contributions as king of England. It demonstrates the many positive achievements of this dynastic union in everything from culture, music and art to cartography, commerce and exploration. An important corrective for anyone interested in the history of Tudor England and Habsburg Spain.

Virtuosity and the Musical Work
This book is about three sets of etudes by Liszt: the Etude en douze exercices (1826), its reworking as Douzes grandes études (1837), and their reworking as Douzes études d'exécution transcendante (1851). At the same time it is a book about nineteenth-century instrumental music in general, in that the three works invite the exploration of features characteristic of the early Romantic era in music. These include: a composer-performer culture, the concept of virtuosity, the significance of recomposition, music and the poetic, and the consolidation of a musical work-concept. A central concern is to illuminate the relationship between the work-concept and a performance- and genre-orientated musical culture. At the same time the book reflects on how we might make judgements of the 'Transcendentals', of the Symphonic Poem Mazeppa (based on the fourth etude), and of Liszt's music in general.
