Although the trust protector is a well-established fixture in the offshore trust world, and is increasingly encountered as a feature of onshore trusts, the law relating to protectors of trusts remains complex. Legislation and case law dealing directly with the protector is scattered across the world's trust jurisdictions, and many issues of fundamental importance remain unresolved by the courts. As Donovan Waters QC writes in his Foreword, "A sustained monograph is surely required, giving status to the subject and bringing together for the practitioner discussion of each of the interrelated issues that use of "protectors" entails. Andrew Holden's seminal work takes up this challenge." Trust Protectors is the first full-length work devoted to the subject of protectors and is specifically designed to assist practitioners grappling with this rapidly-evolving area of the law. The book serves as an introduction to the topic of protectors, as a full synthesis of the well-established equitable principles bearing on that office, and as an invaluable source of comment and guidance on the many questions that remain unanswered. It also includes precedents to assist in the drafting of protector clauses, an anthology of statutory provisions relating to the protector, and a bibliography drawing together the existing literature. Grounded on English law principles, but citing authority from all the major offshore and onshore trust jurisdictions - including the US - Trust Protectors will be essential reading for both offshore and onshore practitioners dealing with the protector, as well as for professional fiduciary service providers seeking to acquire a fuller understanding of that role.

This text is an unbound, binder-ready edition. Not only does Parliamo Italiano provide students learning Italian with a strong ground in the four ACTFL skills - reading, writing, speaking, and listening - but it also emphasises cultural fluency. The text follows a more visual approach by integrating maps, photos, realia, and cultural notes that offer a vibrant image of Italy. The chapters are organised around functions and activities. Cultural information has been updated to make the material more relevant. In addition, discussions on functional communications give readers early success in the language and encourage them to use it in practical situations. This communicative, culture-based introductory Italian text develops all five language skills by pairing cultural themes with essential grammar points and by organizing units around situations, functions, and regions of Italy. The authors' belief that language is culture and culture is language is best illustrated by the text's up-to-date, fresh image of Italy and Italians and by the successful integration of this philosophy as an active, key part of the learning experience.  Parliamo italiano!, 4e brings Italy into the classroom, immersing the reader in the geography, customs, daily routines, literature, music and general culture of Italy, while providing a strong basis for development of basic language skills - reading, writing, speaking, listening and cultural competency.
