Parker Lopez and Stone's The Book of Mormon

Parker Lopez and Stone's The Book of Mormon

'Hasa Diga Eebowai' In 2011 a musical full of curse words and Mormon missionaries swept that year’s Tony Awards and was praised as a triumphant return of the American musical. This book explores the inherent achievements (and failures) of The Book of Mormon—one of the most ambitious and problematic musicals to achieve widespread success. The creative team members—Matt Parker Trey Stone and composer Robert Lopez—were collectively known for their aggressive use of taboo subjects and crude punchy humor. Using the metaphor of boxing Granger explores the metaphorical punches the trio delivers and ruminates over the less-discussed ideological wounds that their style of shock absurdism might leave behind. This careful examination of where The Book of Mormon succeeds and fails is sure to challenge discussion of our understanding of musical comedy and our appreciation for this cultural landmark in theatre. | Parker Lopez and Stone's The Book of Mormon

Freedom of Navigation and the Law of the Sea Warships States and the Use of Force

Freedom of Navigation and the Law of the Sea Warships States and the Use of Force

There has been a recent increase in clashes between warships asserting rights to navigate and states asserting sovereignty over coastal waters. This book argues for a set of rules which respect the rights of coastal states to protect their sovereignty and of warships to navigate lawfully whilst also outlining the limits of each. The book addresses the issue of the clash between warships and states by considering the general principles applying to use of force in the law of the sea and the law of national self-defence. It focuses on the right of coastal states to use force to prevent passage of warships which threaten their sovereignty with particular reference to the specific maritime zones as well as by warships to ensure passage or to defend themselves. The book also assesses the extent to which the law of armed conflict may be applicable to these issues. The conclusion draws together a set of rules which take account of both contemporary and historical events and seeks to balance the competing interests at stake. Providing a concise overview of the enduring issue of freedom of navigation this book will appeal to anyone studying international law the law of the sea security studies and international relations. It will also be of interest to naval coast guard and military officers as well as government legal advisors. | Freedom of Navigation and the Law of the Sea Warships States and the Use of Force
