This book analyses the impact of CAFTA-DR and European Free Trade Agreements on the industrial property system in Central America. While there is ample literature on bilateral and regional FTAs, it is often limited to the contractual obligations assumed by the participating countries. This book goes a step further and analyses how these obligations are implemented through national legislation, institutional changes and legal practice. To provide a deeper understanding of the effects of FTAs on national IP systems, the book addresses research questions that go beyond general publications on the topic. Research questions include: Is the combination of market access and IP rules in a bilateral FTA an effective and appropriate trade deal? How are the IP requirements under the FTAs implemented into the national statutory framework? Do the IP rules of FTAs sufficiently address institutional factors necessary for an effective IP system? Do they provide for an appropriate balance between minimum protection and flexibilities and support relevant IP policy objectives? The book covers the CAFTA-DR member states Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua, reviewing the implementation of FTA obligations regarding patents, plant varieties, test data, trademarks, geographical indications, designs, genetic resources and traditional knowledge, enforcement and other areas. By looking at several countries, a broad range of IP rights and the practical implementation of FTA obligations, this book provides a broad range of information and insights.

CAFTA-DR, European Free Trade Agreements and the Industrial Property System in Central America

In his new book, acclaimed science writer Matt Ridley looks to the peculiar mating rituals of birds to better understand the rich origins and ongoing significance of Darwin's sexual selection theory.'FASCINATING' The Times'Matt Ridley is one of our finest science writers ... A treat for bird lovers and evolutionary biologists alike' Richard DawkinsAnimals rarely treat sex as a simple or mutually beneficial transaction. Choosing a mate is often a transcendent event to be approached with reverence, suspicion, angst and quite a bit of violence. For Matt Ridley, nowhere is this more acute than in birds.From a freezing hide on the Pennine moors at dawn, Ridley closely studies the rare Black Grouse. He is there for the lek - an elaborate courtship ritual of squabbling and strutting males. They dance and sing for hours each day to attract a mate over several months. With most males leaving exhausted and unsuccessful, Ridley looks at how females make their choice to cast fresh light on how such rituals have evolved and why.His pursuit follows five generations of biologists from Darwin and Wallace to the present day, uncovering how they have grappled with the implications of sexual selection as an eccentric, gonzo form of evolution. While most Victorian scientists found it impossible to believe female birds could select mates, Darwin was obsessed with the idea of sexual as well as natural selection.Drawing on his own lifelong passion, Ridley eavesdrops on the elaborate displays of bird species around the world, from the complex art installations made by Bowerbirds in Australia to the bubbling calls of Curlews in the UK's declining moorlands. In a wonderful blend of nature writing and elegant exploration of recent evolutionary theory, Birds, Sex and Beauty shows not only how mate choice has shaped the natural world, including humans, but how the song and plumage of birds can be thrillingly, breathtakingly beautiful.'Clear and entertaining ... Ridley explains all this history with lucidity and wit'New Statesman'Most of this fascinating and accessible book is about birds ... Ridley, very clearly, loves birds - and the enthusiasm is infectious'The Times'This is a fascinating story told with wit, scholarship and the passion of a true conversationist. Lord Ridley writes in the best tradition of great British naturalists' Country Life'Birds, Sex &amp; Beauty is a good read. It is a compelling history of sexual selection, rather than a synthesis that moves the field forwards'Nature

Each bird's entry includes clear images at rest and in flight and pictures the male, female, and juvenile where they are different. There is even a handy flight-pattern diagram for those moments when all you catch is a glimpse of them in flight as they dart into a bush. A "similar species" panel picks out the lookalikes that could cause confusion, pointing out the telltale differences. A section at the front of the book gives vital context, covering bird anatomy, life cycle, behavior, and habitats. Sometimes birds get blown off course and pop up in unexpected places. Some of these accidental visitors to Britain and Europe are also included as mini profiles, so no opportunity is missed. An accompanying audio app of the birdsong and calls of more than 200 birds helps identify a bird even when it is hard to spot.

'An Aztec West Wing' GUARDIAN 'I was so impressed that I'm on my second read' TORREY PETERS 'A triumph' FINANCIAL TIMES 'Glorious' i-D A NEW YORK TIMES TOP TEN BOOK OF 2024 A GUARDIAN TOP FIVE TRANSLATED FICTION OF 2024 In 1519, Conquistador Hernán Cortés and his troops ride into the floating city of Tenoxtitlan - today's Mexico City - in this hallucinatory, revelatory, colonial revenge story. Invited to a ceremonial meal with the steely princess Atotoxtli, sister and wife of the emperor Moctezuma, the Spanish nearly bungle their entrance into the city and its labyrinthine palace. Soon, one of Cortés's captains, Jazmín Caldera, begins to question the ease with which they were welcomed, and wonders at the risks of getting out alive, much less conquering the empire. Moctezuma himself is at a political, spiritual and physical crossroads, relying on hallucinogens in a quest for any kind of answer from the gods. When Cortés and Moctezuma meet, two worlds, empires, languages, and possible futures collide. You Dreamed of Empires brings to life Tenoxtitlan at its height - and reimagines its destiny. It sets afire the moment of conquest and turns it into a moment of revolution, in a novel so electric and so unique that it feels like a dream. Translated by Natasha Wimmer 'A mischievous fantasy' TLS A NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY TOP TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR
