What drives the spark of inspiration in the world's most creative and accomplished people and how anyone can transform a "Eureka" moment into concrete results and positive change

An essential overview of the comparative study of human rights law. This book will introduce students, academics, and legal practitioners to the aims and methods of approaching human rights from a comparative perspective.

Human rights are traditionally understood as protecting individual freedom against intrusion by the State. This book argues instead that human rights are based on a richer view of freedom, going beyond absence of coercion and focussing on the ability to exercise freedom. Instead of merely restraining the State, human rights create positive duties.

Women are still far from equal to men yet discrimination on the grounds of sex is unlawful. This book asks the question: why has the law had so little impact? It concludes that only when men and women participate equally in both family life and the paid workforce will real progress in the arena of sexual equality be made.
