AbstractThe Radzinowicz Library is the specialist criminology library of the Institute of Criminology, a research and teaching department of the University of Cambridge. As Stuart Stone explains, it is the premier academic criminology collection in the United Kingdom and indeed it is one of the major collections in this subject in the world. The library primarily serves the Institute and the University but also the wider community of criminal justice researchers, many of whom are regular visitors. In common with other libraries, financial pressures are a continuing concern, especially because of the interdisciplinary nature of the subject. Outreach and engagement with organisations outside academia add to the distinctive characteristics of the library.

Leading universities around the world are addressing the demand for science-business-skilled professionals with a variety of novel programmes. The University of Cambridge (the United Kingdom) and University of Auckland (New Zealand) have each developed a Master's in Bioscience Enterprise programme providing specialist business and legal skills relevant to employment in the bio-economy. The biotechnology contexts in which these programmes were developed are significantly different and are reflected in the internship choices, thesis topics and postgraduate employment opportunities. In each case, industry feedback has been excellent to date as evidenced by the increasing engagements of companies in these programmes.

In his inaugural lecture as Downing Professor of the Laws of England at the University of Cambridge, delivered in October 1888, Frederic Maitland offered a set of provocative and now familiar reflections on “Why the history of English law is not written.” According to Maitland, although English archives possessed “a series of records which for continuity, catholicity, minute detail[,] and authoritative value” had “no equal…in the world,” the “unmanageable bulk” of these sources had “overburdened” aspiring historians of English law. As a result, “large provinces” of English legal history remained to be “reclaimed from the waste.” With few willing to undertake such reclamation efforts, the historiography of English law remained as bleak and barren as the bogs from which Maitland's Cambridgeshire had itself only reluctantly emerged.

Personal Interests

Thomas Bell's collection of tortoises arrived in the Oxford University Museum in 1862 as part of the great benefaction of the Reverend F. W. Hope. The collection's fate, together with the fate of other zoological collections of the University, was closely linked with the research and personal interests of the Heads of Departments in the Museum. The whole collection was at first exhibited in the Museum's Main Court for over thirty years, followed by the removal of most of its specimens to stores, with only a small number left on display. In between, the specimens were the subject of furious custodianship claims, and only in 1956, after nearly a century in Oxford, were the tortoises finally entered in the accession catalogues of the Zoological Collections. The battles and controversies surrounding the collection reflected the changes in teaching and the approach to the natural history collections in the oldest university in the United Kingdom.

The University

The initial ‘idea’ for the book emerged during the seminar Sharing of Innovative Pedagogical Practices that occurred at the University of Coimbra (Portugal) in 2018. Like all ‘good ideas’, this one originated in a conversation between colleagues from the University of Coimbra and the University of West London in the United Kingdom. The ‘idea’ of this book was to move away from sharing experiences related to teaching and learning in higher education in just one or two countries, but instead to organise a more European view about the policy, research and teaching practices that are shaping the way our students learn, academics teach and do research. We have a total of 16 chapters from academics in Portugal, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Sweden, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, and the Czech Republic.<br>The book is organised in four interrelated themes: (1) policy and quality; (2) professionalisation of teaching and academic development; (3) research and teaching nexus; and (4) pedagogy and practice. <br>Enjoy reading the book!

Air Reconnaissance in Roman Britain, 1973–76

Air reconnaissance over the United Kingdom has been continued during the last four years, a period which has seen a considerable extension of such work, and one notable for exceptionally dry summers. Thus, both the Royal Commission on Historical Monuments for England, through the Air Photographs Unit of the National Monuments Record, and the Royal Commission for Scotland have undertaken extensive surveys, while the growth of local flying has meant that many areas of the country have been reconnoitred more intensively than has hitherto been possible. The account that follows relates almost entirely to the work sponsored by the Committee for Aerial Photography of the University of Cambridge, though information is, indeed, often interchanged with others making similar surveys. The fullest knowledge of any given site comes from study of all available records. The first clue may be obtained by one observer, later reconnaissance by others may amplify the record, perhaps making plain what was previously only suspected. Nevertheless, had it not been for knowledge of the first, perhaps incomplete, observation, subsequent reconnaissance might never have been undertaken. This is a pursuit in which each participant may owe much to others: the cumulative results reflect the activities of many.

Предметом исследования статьи являются европейские правила налога на цифровые услуги (англ. digital services tax, DST). Различные зарубежные страны уже продвинулись в направлении налогообложения доходов от цифровых услуг с учетом использования новых принципов налогообложения. В статье раскрывается суть таких правил налогообложения на примере правил Франции и Великобритании. На сегодняшний день вопрос о введении специальных правил налогообложения прибыли цифровых компаний в Российской Федерации стоит достаточно остро. В связи с тем, что разработка таких правил будет осуществляться с учетом мирового опыта, существует вероятность, что в основу новых правил будет положена концепция DST, получившего наиболее широкое распространение в мире. Информационную базу исследования составили нормативно-правовые акты о DST Великобритании и Франции, официальные документы Организации экономического сотрудничества и развития (ОЭСР), отчет о расследовании США в отношении правил применения DST во Франции, электронные ресурсы. Научная новизна исследования заключается в выявлении разновидности европейских цифровых налогов, различий в правилах и тенденций при их введении. Практическая значимость исследования заключается в возможности использования зарубежног The subject of this research is the European rules of Digital services tax. Various foreign countries have already advanced in taxation of income obtained from digital services with the use of the new taxation principles. The nature of such taxing rules is revealed in this article based on the rules of France and the United Kingdom. At the present time the need to implement specific rules of taxation of digital companies stands out prominently in the Russian Federation. Since the development of the Russian tax rules aimed at the profits arising from digital services shall be undertaken based on the world experience, there is a significant likelihood that they will be based on the widely spread DST concept. The reference base of the study consists of the regulations on DST in the United Kingdom and France, official OECD documents, the report of the US investigation regarding the DST application rules in France, and various electronic resources. The scientific novelty of the study lays in identifying the variety of DST, features of the rules and trends in their introduction. The practical significance of the study accounts in the possibility of using foreign experience in developing Russian domestic rules.

It would be the greatest of honours and of pleasures for any biochemist i t o stand in my place this evening. Although I am sure that most of my colleagues would perform this function much better and more suitably, I take refuge in the old saying that ‘the unworthiness of the minister hindereth not the effect of the sacrament’. For this assembly, in which others are most welcome, symbolizes the feeling of discipleship which all biochemists have for Frederick Gowland Hopkins, essentially the founder of modern biochemistry in the United Kingdom. My wife and I, together with all Cambridge colleagues of our generation, and some from elsewhere too, who had the good fortune to live in daily contact with him for many years, all felt that he was truly in loco parentis to us, far more so than any of our College tutors when we were passing through our undergraduate days.

The University of Edinburgh is a renowned university in the world now. However, it was only a town college back in 1583, and the function of Edinburgh University varies from period to period. It was functioned as a religious, educational institutions in the first place and gradually involved in British politics as well. Moreover, the University of Edinburgh witnessed and promoted the Scottish Enlightenment. Eventually, Edinburgh University becomes an essential university for high-level education in the United Kingdom with advanced and diverse curriculums.
