In quantity and importance, private standards are rapidly taking over the role of public norms in the international and national regulation of product safety. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the rise, role and status of these private product safety standards in the legal regulation of integrating markets. In international and regional trade law as in European and American constitutional and administrative law, tort law and antitrust law, the book analyses the ways in which legal systems can and do recognise private norms as ’law.’ This sociological question of law

In recent years a spate of books and articles have argued that the world today is so mobile, so interconnected and so integrated that it is, in one prominent assessment, flat. But as Harm de Blij contends in The Power of Place, geography continues to hold billions of people in an unrelenting grip. We are all born into natural and cultural environments that shape what we become, individually and collectively. From our "mother tongue" to our father’s faith, from medical risks to natural hazards, where we start our journey has much to do with our destiny, and thus with our chances of overco

Over the next half century, the human population, divided by culture and economics and armed with weapons of mass destruction, will expand to nearly 9 billion people. Abrupt climate change may throw the global system into chaos; China will emerge as a superpower; and Islamic terrorism and insurgency will threaten vital American interests. How can we understand these and other global challenges? Harm de Blij has a simple answer: by improving our understanding of the world’s geography. De Blij demonstrates how geography’s perspectives yield unique and penetrating insights into the i

This study deals with a number ofaspects of the words usually calledadverbs in Latin. It contains on theone hand a critical discussion of theirtreatment in Latin grammatical studies- the characteristics attributed to them, their relationship to other words - andon the other hand a discussion of theconditions that have to be met in orderto achieve a better (sub)classification. The study contains, therefore, bothlanguage-specific sections and moregeneral ones. The author wrote thepassages specifically dealing withLatin in such a way that they are clearenough to the non-Latinist linguists.

Planetary nebulae present a fascinating range of shapes and morphologies. They are ideal laboratories for the study of different astrophysical processes: atomic physics, radiative transfer, stellar winds, shocks, wind--wind interaction, and the interaction between stellar winds and the interstellar medium. In addition, planetary nebulae provide information about the late stages of stellar evolution. In the last five years studies of planetary nebulae have progressed very rapidly and new phenomena and insights have been gained. This is partly due to new observations (e.g. from the Hubble Space

This new collection deals with the underlying astrophysical mechanisms of phenomena known as asymptotic giant branch stars, the structures that emerge during the dramatic period prior to a star’s death. Over the past three decades, asymptotic giant branch stars have become a topic of their own, and the contributions to this volume all focus on these unique entities themselves (rather than their connections to other areas of astronomy). The discussion ranges from the theoretical to more practical issues, such as new methods of high-quality infrared observation and the more detailed and

Throughout the history of invariant theory, computational methods have always been at the center of attention. This book, the first volume of the new subseries on Invariant Theory and Algebraic Transformation Groups, provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the algorithmic aspects of invariant theory. Special features are an introductory chapter on Gr÷bner basis methods and a chapter on applications, covering fields as disparate as graph theory, coding theory, dynamical systems, and computer vision. Both authors have made significant contributions to the theory and practice of
