The second edition of Market Abuse Regulation offers a detailed analysis of the market abuse regime and the application of the regulations in the UK and EU. The work is of great value to financial services lawyers and companies who need a succinct, comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of the regime and the implications for their businesses.  Consideration is given to the implementation and interpretation of the regulations, the conduct of investigations, the defenses and appeals available against a finding of market abuse, and overlapping US regulation.  Since the implementation of the EU Market Abuse Directive in the UK dates only from 2005, detailed consideration is given to the important enforcement policy decisions and market abuse cases which have been recently decided by the FSA and referred to the Financial Services Markets Tribunal. In particular, the new edition examines the modifications to enforcement procedures by the FSA, the move towards a more 'principles-based' approach to enforcement and the increased focus on senior management liability. The second edition of this well received work provides a comprehensive analysis of the market abuse regime in the UK and EU. This edition is updated to include critical commentary on the implementation and interpretation of the regulations, with reference to significant policy changes and recent market abuse cases. This is an important work for financial services lawyers and companies needing a fully up-to-date guide to the current regime and how it affects their businesses.

Conscripted to Care: Women on the Frontlines of the COVID-19 Response

<div>With the vast majority of healthcare and social workers identifying as women, the vanguard of the COVID-19 response was distinctly gendered. In Conscripted to Care Julia Smith introduces us to the women who faced the worst effects of the pandemic and the inequities it exposed. Through clear prose and fascinating critical analysis, she documents their largely unseen contributions and sacrifices, both professional and domestic. Drawing on interviews and focus groups with nearly two hundred women from a range of backgrounds and occupations, Smith reveals how structural inequality put women on the frontlines of the pandemic response, yet with inadequate resources and little voice in decision-making. Women shouldered not only the triple burden of paid work, unpaid care, and mental load, but also increased emotional labour. While some women were categorized as "essential," others remained in the shadows. All faced unsustainable workloads, moral distress, and burnout while continuing to demand better services for those in their care. An analysis of Canada's COVID-19 response from the perspective of those who staffed it, Conscripted to Care presents crucial lessons for those interested in public health and how it relates to gender and economic equality, as well as public policy.</div>
