International Criminal Law bibliography

As with most of my compilations, this list has two conspicuous constraints: books, in English (thus a fair amount of worthy journal articles are missing). I welcome suggestions for additional titles in keeping with those constraints. Some of the titles below are not directly related to international criminal law, such as those dealing with individual and collective (or group) responsibility and forms of individual and group "guilt" short of strict criminal liability or culpability; for example: civil sanctions, reparations, restitution, reconciliation, lustration, truth commissions, and so forth; in brief, "accountability" processes and mechanisms that endeavor to explain and address widespread grievous collective wrongs and forms of participation in acts of or complicity with evil (e.g., 'bystanders') that are predominantly social and moral, thus "quasi-legal" but typically "extra-legal." These various accountability processes and mechanisms, be they local, regional, national or even transnational, are (if not should be) capable of working alongside, in conjunction with, or simply after international criminal law tribunals, revolving around the subjects of transitional and post-conflict justice (or jus post bellum). Thus we should not view international criminal law and justice as necessarily crowding out, displacing, or trivializing these personal and collective accountability mechanisms. Finally, there are a handful of books that speak to basic ideas, norms, and principles of international law that form the backdrop of or undergird, if you will, international criminal law. These titles stand apart for their philosophical, theoretical, or moral orientation and perspectives on international law. For what it's worth, I believe the foremost philosopher with regard to international criminal law is-unequivocally-Larry May.

High Diversity in Cretaceous Ichthyosaurs from Europe Prior

2014

BackgroundIchthyosaurs are reptiles that inhabited the marine realm during most of the Mesozoic. Their Cretaceous representatives have traditionally been considered as the last survivors of a group declining since the Jurassic. Recently, however, an unexpected diversity has been described in Upper Jurassic–Lower Cretaceous deposits, but is widely spread across time and space, giving small clues on the adaptive potential and ecosystem control of the last ichthyosaurs. The famous but little studied English Gault Formation and ‘greensands’ deposits (the Upper Greensand Formation and the Cambridge Greensand Member of the Lower Chalk Formation) offer an unprecedented opportunity to investigate this topic, containing thousands of ichthyosaur remains spanning the Early–Late Cretaceous boundary.Methodology/Principal FindingsTo assess the diversity of the ichthyosaur assemblage from these sedimentary bodies, we recognized morphotypes within each type of bones. We grouped these morphotypes together, when possible, by using articulated specimens from the same formations and from new localities in the Vocontian Basin (France); a revised taxonomic scheme is proposed. We recognize the following taxa in the ‘greensands’: the platypterygiines ‘Platypterygius’ sp. and Sisteronia seeleyi gen. et sp. nov., indeterminate ophthalmosaurines and the rare incertae sedis Cetarthrosaurus walkeri. The taxonomic diversity of late Albian ichthyosaurs now matches that of older, well-known intervals such as the Toarcian or the Tithonian. Contrasting tooth shapes and wear patterns suggest that these ichthyosaurs colonized three distinct feeding guilds, despite the presence of numerous plesiosaur taxa.Conclusion/SignificanceWestern Europe was a diversity hot-spot for ichthyosaurs a few million years prior to their final extinction. By contrast, the low diversity in Australia and U.S.A. suggests strong geographical disparities in the diversity pattern of Albian–early Cenomanian ichthyosaurs. This provides a whole new context to investigate the extinction of these successful marine reptiles, at the end of the Cenomanian.

"End of the End of the Line": The Broken Temporality of David Foster Wallace’s "Infinite Jest"

Cambridge University Press, 2019

This book brings together leading critics in American literature to address the representation of time throughout a wide range of genres, methodologies, and chronological periods. American literature, from its beginnings to the present, provides a particularly rich set of texts to examine in this regard, with its interest in history, modernity, and progress. Each essay considers how time embeds itself in a variety of textual representations, including Native American rituals, Shaker dances, novels, poetry, and magazines, in order to provide readers with a capacious view of time's constitutive role in American literature. The essays are organized into four parts: Materializing Time, Performing Time, Timing Time, and Theorizing Time. Each section reflects a particular approach to the question of time, but taken as a whole, the volume makes visible unexpected temporal patterns that cut across time period and genre.
