In this final section, the author looks at how the skyline of Cambridge has been transformed as new areas such as the Cambridge Biomedical Campus have sprung up. During the twentieth and early twenty-first century, the city has expanded rapidly in size, population and wealth as it has gained a world-class reputation in science, technology and innovation. The author examines the achievements of scientists in the field of molecular biology, including Crick and Watson’s discovery of the structure of DNA, and Fred Sanger’s role in the Human Genome Project. She also considers the forging of links between University and industry, the emergence of the Cambridge Science Park, hi-tech success stories such as ARM, and the forerunners of the hi-tech boom, including Pye, Acorn and Sinclair. Student life in the University today and the iconic Boat Race, Bumps, May Balls and Footlights are clearly explained. Issues affecting the town include the growth of car ownership, the importance of tourism, the development of Lion Yard and the Grand Arcade, and the origins of Petty Cury. At its core, Cambridge remains recognisably medieval, centred on the town and university church of Great St Mary’s.

Behavioral psychology was immediately preceded by the reflexology of Russian physiology and the associationism of Thorndike. Physiological reflexology received a sound foundation with the works of Sechenov and Bekhterev, but it was Pavlov who proposed a comprehensive theory of conditioning. Watson’s behavioral formulation defined stimulus and response elements as the substitute to rid psychology of residual mentalistic constructs. Watson’s contemporaries, Holt, Weiss, Hunter, and Lashley, soon restored to behaviorism critical psychological activities. The logical positivist movement expressed an operational spirit and insured the initial success of the behaviorist model. Behavioral psychology expanded beyond the original formulations of Pavlov and Watson. Contemporary reflexology in Russia and in nearby countries expanded to include a wide range of psychological and physiological problems, led by such eminent scientists as Vygotsky, Luria, Konorski, Asratyan, and Beritashvili. In the United States, behaviorism moved through several intellectual stages, through the contributions of Guthrie, Tolman, Hull, and Skinner. A major application of behaviorism was the behavior modification model in clinical settings. Contemporary behaviorism remains a dominant but diffused force in psychology.

The rioting and looting after Henry Hunt’s great reform meeting on Spa Fields on 3 December 1816 marked a turning point in Thistlewood’s career. Its failure led to his attempt to flee to America, to his capture, and in June 1817 to the aborted treason trial of Watson, Preston, Thistlewood, and Hooper. This collapsed once it was shown to be based on the evidence of the spy John Castle.Henceforth Thistlewood was a marked man on the extremist edges of London radicalism.

Chapter 2 starts by discussing legal transplant theory, setting out the core elements of the theory as conceptualised by Watson and the subsequent critique by Legrand. The chapter then considers the modern developments of legal transplant theory, in particular the theory of legal translation, and incorporates them into its own application of the theory. After justifying the application of legal transplant theory, the chapter concludes by highlighting how legal transplant theory can be applied in both this area of law and the three jurisdictions selected for analysis.
