Overview: Provides a comprehensive comparative overview on the legal consequences of global financial crises on the binding force of contracts.Explores the problem from a variety of theoretical bases and concis.This book is about one of the most controversial dilemmas of contract law: whether or not the unexpected change of circumstances due to the effects of financial crises may under certain conditions be taken into account. .Growing interconnectedness of global economies facilitates the spread of the effects of the financial crises. Financial crises cause severe difficulties for persons to

Overview: Provides an alternative political economy framework in which to analyse international economic and monetary arrangements.Focuses on Italy as a case study for examining Western relationships with the E..This bookproposes an alternative political economy framework in which to analyse thequestion of the credibility of international economic agreements, in general,and monetary arrangements in particular. The focus is on European monetaryarrangements, from the establishment of the European Monetary System to thecrisis of the Euro-zone. The analysis is predicated around the politicaleconom

Overview: Examines the role of smoking on personal relationships.Discusses perspectives of both smokers and non-smokers.Offers balanced discussions of the effects of tobacco use in various contexts This book presents a wide variety of insights into the effects of smoking on both smokers and non-smokers. Based on extensive questionnaire surveys from across the USA, this research explores the complex dynamics of intimate relationships and how they are affected by smoking, especially with regard to honest communication. The volume delves into the battles which take place behind closed doors as bo

Overview: In spite of intensive efforts over many decades, the problem of turbulence remains as challenging as ever and the number of papers, books and conferences on this topic con­ tinues to grow. As experimental techniques and computing power have developed, the breadth of investigations into the structure and development of turbulent flows has in­ creased to encompass many diverse fields of application in engineering, physics, biolo­ gy and so on. As a consequence, it is now very difficult for a single research worker to keep in touch with the many developments that are taking place in tur

Overview: For several decades it has been widely accepted that human space exploration is the exclusive domain of government agencies. The cost of performing such missions, estimated in multiple reports to amount to hundreds of billions dollars over decades, was far beyond what private entities could afford. That arrangement seems to be changing. Buoyed by the success of its program to develop commercial cargo capabilities to support the International Space Station, NASA is becoming increasingly open to working with the private sector in its human space exploration plans. The new private-publi

Overview: of available information. Even more importantly, some authors who have contributed substantially to an area may have been overlooked. For this I apologize. I have, however, not attempted to trace techniques or observa­ tions historically, so there is no implication (unless specified) that the authors referred to were or were not the originators of a given method or observation. I would like to acknowledge discussions with co-workers at SFU for input relative to their specialties, to acknowledge the help of students who have pointed out errors and difficulties in the earlier presentat

Overview: Presents and incorporates new molecular evidence concerning the fundamental processes of CNS development.Explains how the molecular and cellular events of early development are causally related to eme.This book demonstrates that the systematic study of gene expression patterns in embryonic and adult brains, in combination with selected data from earlier studies, can pave the way for a new neuromorphology, the most salient features of which may be summarized as follows: (1) Causal analysis of molecular patterning at neural plate and early neural tube stages has shown that the CNS is e

Overview: As its title states, this work formulates in language a sense of language, a sense of our involvement in speaking and listening, reading and writing. What it works out may be called the sense, only because it provides, or hopes to provide, an access to the myriad possibilities of language. In fact, if the four Chapters in any way "grind an axe", they do so with a view to decapitating the overweening contemporary tendency to hedge in language, to make some­ thing of a prison out of it ... for ourselves. The reader should bear in mind that the purport of the work lies in learning the s

Overview: The design and assessment of modern high temperature plant demands an understanding of the creep and rupture behaviour of materials under multi axial stress states. Examples include thread roots in steam turbine casing bolts, branch connections in nuclear pressure vessels and blade root fixings in gas or steam turbine rotors. At one extreme the simple notch weakening/notch strengthening characterization of the material by circumferentially vee-notched uniaxial rupture tests, as specified in many national standards, may be sufficient. These were originally intended to model thread roo

Overview: Addressing Trust in the Digitalization of the Modern World.Trustworthiness is a key success factor in the acceptance and adoption of cyber-physical systems. The author first discusses various existing definitions of trust and trustworthiness and extends them to cyber-physical systems. A comprehensive framework is proposed, including methods that cover all phases of development: requirements engineering, system design, trustworthiness evaluation, run-time maintenance, and evidence-based assurance. To support a smooth integration of the methods into development projects, these methods

Overview: Provides a unique account of the construction of Britain‘s first stone circle for over 3000 years by its builder.Charts the development of the Parks Department Astronomy Project with a fascinating looThere are at least 48 identified prehistoric stone circles in Scotland. In truth, very little is known about the people who erected them, and ultimately about what the stone circles were for. Most stone circles are astronomically aligned, which has led to the modern debate about why the alignment was significant. The megaliths certainly represented an enormous co-operative effort, would
