The founders : four pioneering individuals who launched the first modern-era international criminal tribunals
\"The Balkan Wars, the Rwanda genocide, and the crimes against humanity in Cambodia and Sierra Leone spurred the creation of international criminal tribunals to bring the perpetrators of unimaginable atrocities to justice. When Richard Goldstone, David Crane, Robert Petit, and Luis Moreno-Ocampo received the call - each set out on a unique quest to build an international criminal tribunal and launch its first prosecutions. Never before have the founding International Prosecutors told the behind-the-scenes stories of their historic journey. With no blueprint and little precedent, each was a path-breaker. This book contains the first-hand accounts of the challenges they faced, the obstacles they overcame, and the successes they achieved in obtaining justice for millions of victims\"-- Provided by publisher.

Microbe cheerleader
Richard Roberts shared the 1993 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Phillip Sharp for their discoveries of split genes, which contain parts that encode protein, called exons, and gaps between them, called introns. Now chief scientific officer at New England Biolabs based in Ipswich, Massachusetts, Roberts talks to Gijsbert Werner about microbes, genetically modified food and the problem with Nobel prizes.

Wagner, Schumann, and the lessons of Beethoven's Ninth
\"Reynolds shows that the stylistic advances made by Richard Wagner and Robert Schumann in 1845-46 stemmed from a deepened understanding of Beethoven's techniques and strategies in the Ninth Symphony, particularly the use of counterpoint involving contrary motion. The trail of influences that Reynolds explores extends back to the music of Bach and ahead to Tristan and Isolde, as well as to Brahms's First Symphony.\"--Provided by publisher.

From Zerfass to Osmer and the Missing Black African Voice in Search of a Relevant Practical Theology Approach in Contemporary Decolonisation Conversations in South Africa: An Emic Reflection from North-West University (NWU)
Rolf Zerfass’s operational scientific model for correcting Christian-ecclesiological praxis has been utilised in practical theological research for a considerable time at the North-West University. However, this situation changed with the adoption of Richard Osmer’s four practical theology tasks of descriptive, interpretive, normative, and pragmatic as the guiding practical theology approach. The question is this: to what extent does the Osmer approach and its application in research at NWU address African contextual issues? To progress beyond being ‘reactive’ and ‘pushing back’ on Western practical theology approaches, the NWU practical theology approach is evaluated, followed by proposing an approach that attempts to incorporate African contextual realities anchoring by the principles of ‘listening, observing, weaving, and offering’.

The Women Who Discovered RNA Splicing
In 1997, the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) celebrated the 20th anniversary of the discovery of RNA splicing. The coauthor of the CSHL paper announcing the discovery, Louise Chow, was not invited, even though first authorship usually implies a central role in the work. Richard J. Roberts, who was one of Chow's coauthors, and Philip A. Sharp from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) team that had published a parallel paper, were the centers of attention, as if they alone had made the discovery. Apparently, as the sole winners of the 1993 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine awarded for the research, Roberts and Sharp made more desirable guests than those who had been excluded from this most coveted scientific award. A similar affront occurred in 2017 when CSHL celebrated the 40th anniversary of the discovery. The events made it clear that leading scientists remained interested in maintaining the status quo, rather than seizing the opportunity to reassess the relationship between the present and the past. The lack of recognition for women who played a key role in high-profile discoveries is evident in the paucity of women among Nobel Laureates or recipients of other prestigious prizes in science.

Report
Thomas Holcroft’s Revolutionary Drama
A key figure in British literary circles following the French Revolution, novelist and playwright Thomas Holcroft promoted ideas of reform and equality informed by the philosophy of his close friend William Godwin. Arrested for treason in 1794 and released without trial, Holcroft was notorious in his own time, but today appears mainly as a supporting character in studies of 1790s literary activism. Thomas Holcroft’s Revolutionary Drama authoritatively reintroduces and reestablishes this central figure of the revolutionary decade by examining his life, plays, memoirs, and personal correspondence. In engaging with theatrical censorship, apostacy, and the response of audiences and critics to radical drama, this thoughtful study also demonstrates how theater functions in times of political repression. Despite his struggles, Holcroft also had major successes: this book examines his surprisingly robust afterlife, as his plays, especially The Road to Ruin , were repeatedly revived worldwide in the nineteenth century.
