Nelson J: A Prospectus Of The Scientific
Study Of The Hindu Law (1881)

A Prospectus Of The Scientific Study Of The Hindu Law (1881)

The internationally renowned human rights barrister shows us how the power to change the world is in the hands of people, not the people in power.

The internationally renowned human rights barrister shows us how the power to change the world is in the hands of people, not the people in power.

How We Can Change The World

The Power In The People

If justice is blind, what guides her steps?

Is justice, like beauty, in the eye of the beholder? Are there objective criteria we can apply and if so, to which do we give more weight? What is more important, a fair result or a fair process? What is the relationship between law and justice? How do the stories we tell both reflect and affect our perceptions of justice. 

Using works of literature, scenes from films, and actual cases as springboards for reflection and debate, Perceptions of Justice seeks answers to such questions, offering readers an opportunity to understand how they determine what is fair and just, and why others may see it differently.

Perceptions of Justice

Synthesis

During most of the nineteenth century, physicians and pharmacists alike considered medical patenting and the use of trademarks by drug manufacturers unethical forms of monopoly; physicians who prescribed patented drugs could be, and were, ostracized from the medical community. In the decades following the Civil War, however, complex changes in patent and trademark law intersected with the changing sensibilities of both physicians and pharmacists to make intellectual property rights in drug manufacturing scientifically and ethically legitimate. By World War I, patented and trademarked drugs had become essential to the practice of good medicine, aiding in the rise of the American pharmaceutical industry and forever altering the course of medicine. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Drawing on a wealth of previously unused archival material, Medical Monopoly combines legal, medical, and business history to offer a sweeping new interpretation of the origins of the complex and often troubling relationship between the pharmaceutical industry and medical practice today. Joseph M. Gabriel provides the first detailed history of patent and trademark law as it relates to the nineteenth-century pharmaceutical industry as well as a unique interpretation of medical ethics, therapeutic reform, and the efforts to regulate the market in pharmaceuticals before World War I. His book will be of interest not only to historians of medicine and science and intellectual property scholars but also to anyone following contemporary debates about the pharmaceutical industry, the patenting of scientific discoveries, and the role of advertising in the marketplace.

Intellectual Property Rights and the Origins of the Modern Pharmaceutical Industry

Medical Monopoly

"Humankind coexists with every other living thing. People drink the same water, breathe the same air, and share the same land as other animals. Yet, property law reflects a general assumption that only people can own land. The effects of this presumption are disastrous for wildlife and humans alike. The alarm bells ringing about biodiversity loss are growing louder, and the possibility of mass extinction is real. Anthropocentric property is a key driver of biodiversity loss, a silent killer of species worldwide. If excluding animals from a legal right to own land is causing their destruction, extending the legal right to own property to wildlife may prove its salvation. This book advocates for folding animals into our existing system of property law, giving them the option to own land just as humans do"--

Where the Rich Own the Truth

Cuckooland

'Stand by for fireworks as it hits the shelves' SUNDAY TIMES'If Orwell were with us today, he'd be writing books like this' PATRICK RADDEN KEEFE'Breath-taking and jaw-dropping' PETER FRANKOPAN'A true-life thriller' ANNE APPLEBAUMFrom the bestselling author of Kleptopia comes a true story about Cuckooland - a world where the rich can buy everything - including the truth.Everywhere, the powerful are making a renewed claim to the greatest prize of all: to own the truth. The power to choose what you want reality to be and impose that reality on the world.For three years, Tom Burgis followed a lead that took him deeper and deeper into Cuckooland - the place where the rich own the truth. The trail snaked from the Kremlin to Kathmandu, Stockholm to the Steppe, from a blood-soaked town square in Uzbekistan to a royal retreat in Scotland. Burgis hunted down oligarchs, developed secret sources and traced vast sums of money flowing between multinational corporations, ex-Soviet dictators and the west's ruling elites. And he found one man who wanted the power to bend reality to his will.This book tells an astonishing story: a tale of secrets and lies that reveals how fragile that truth can be. Whether it's in Kazakh torture chambers or the UK's High Court, the lords of Cuckooland are seizing control of the truth. They decree what stories may be told about war and money and power, what we are permitted to know - and more importantly, what we are not.From the bestselling author of Kleptopia, Cuckooland is a deeply reported work of non-fiction that reads like a thriller. It is a story of how globalisation and technological revolution have combined to imperil the foundation of free societies: that the truth belongs to the many, not the few.

Wool of Bat

I’ve always known mermaids to be real, I’ve seen proof of their existence. But for those who still think they’re the stuff of fairytales,
this book will certainly change their mind.— Iris CompietThe future of mermaids is in peril. Open this book and learn about these wild and mysterious creatures before they are gone forever. Dr. Lillefisk presents her field notes, sketches, and research on the rich and expansive mermaid ecosystem and how it exists alongside the human world. Indeed, the growing environmental threat that humans impose on these creatures is at the fore of Dr. Lillefisk’s appeal for attention and funding so that research and preservation of these creatures can continue. Each mermaid is inspired by a real or mythological creature and blended with fantasy, Jana Heidersorf’s imagination, and a fantastical pseudo-natural science that reveals the fantastical world beneath the waves of planet Earth's lakes, oceans, and seas. Dr. C. Lillefisk’s Sirenology: A Guide to Mermaids and other under-the-sea-Phenonemon joins the Wool of Bat specialty series which aims to help preserve and promote folklore, mythology, and oral history whether it be real or imagined. If you are looking for myths, legends, and the supernatural, look no further than Wool of Bat.

Cultures juridiques et politiques

Eurasia is neither a juxtaposition of sub-regions - Central Asia, West Europe, East Asia - nor a single, coherent legal system. It mixes sui generis evolutions and mutual influences of its constituent systems. The period of Eurasian countries going their own, national(ist) way in building a legal system (Europe before 1950, Central Asia under Soviet rule, East Asia in colonialisms) has yielded to one when no 'universal' system applies. Regional mechanisms are mutually inspired, for instance the EU and the EAEU; or the OSCE and the CICA.
Chapters are by scholars based in Korea, Kazakhstan, France, China, Russia and Spain. Each sub-region is analysed through a 'main' reference (Kazakhstan, France, Korea) and a 'complementary model' (Russia, China, Spain), within the context of institutional region-building.C
Two factors accelerate change in Eurasian legal systems: national/regional experiences and evolutions influence each other; the world context (crises, sanctions, wars, trade diplomacy...) push even further : no country (or region) can in isolation devise legal solutions to these challenges.

Studien zum Strafrecht

Die Verschwendung öffentlicher Gelder ist ein ernstzunehmendes Problem, nicht nur in Deutschland, sondern in der ganzen Welt. Es vergeht kein Tag, an dem die Bevölkerung nicht von einem Skandal im Zusammenhang mit öffentlicher Korruption erfährt. Reicht aber das geltende Strafrecht aus, um diese Art von Fehlverhalten zu bestrafen? Oder besteht eine sog. Strafbarkeitslücke, die verhindert, dass solche Verhaltensweise strafrechtlich geahndet werden? In diesem Buch versucht die Autorin, diese Fragen zu beantworten. Zunächst befasst sie sich mit der Frage, inwieweit der Straftatbestand der Untreue (§ 266 StGB) ausreichend ist, um die zweckwidrige bzw. missbräuchliche Verwendung öffentlicher Mittel strafrechtlich zu erfassen. Anschließend befasst sich die Autorin mit dem Begriff der Strafbarkeitslücke und analysiert die Möglichkeit ihres Bestehens im Zusammenhang mit der Veruntreuung öffentlicher Mittel in Deutschland. Schließlich erörtert sie einige Alternativen zur Schließung einer etwaigen Strafbarkeitslücke und führt Beispiele für eine Regelung auf der Grundlage ausländischer Rechtsordnungen an.

The Northern European countries are stable democracies; they are regarded as classic consensus democracies and the Scandinavian welfare model is much admired. What is the basis for these judgements? How do the political systems of the three monarchies of Denmark, Sweden and Norway, the two republics of Finland and Iceland, the autonomous territories of Greenland, the Faroe Islands, the Åland Islands and the institutions of the Sápmi region work? This study focuses on parliamentarism, elections, parties, governments, administrations, legal systems and the countries' cultural and historical roots. It is aimed at students of the social sciences as well as teachers and all those interested in Northern European politics and society.

The editors
Bernd Henningsen is em. Professor for Culture and Politics of Northern Europe and Honorary Professor at the Humboldt-University Berlin, Germany.
Sven Jochem is Professor of Political Science at the University of Konstanz, Germany.
