Rappaport H: The Rebel Romanov / B

The Rebel Romanov

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERThe world's criminals earn trillions every year. They keep almost all of it. Every effort to stop them has failed. Why? Join Oliver Bullough through the looking glass, voyaging through the dark heart of the global economy: where flows of dirty banknotes, designer goods and baby eels prop up illicit networks spanning from Miami to Shanghai - via, strangely, North Oxfordshire. Cryptocurrencies flow through ledgers that would look familiar to a fifteenth-century Florentine banker. Casinos, lottery tickets and government ignorance all power the merry-go-round of dirty money. And it all works brilliantly. Better than ever. There has never been a better time to be a criminal. It's time that changed.

The Secret Life of Dirty Money

Everybody Loves Our Dollars

The Memoir of Concha Lombardo de Miramón, 1835–1869

A Feisty Woman

Sachsen-Anhalt ist quasi die Wiege Deutschlands, hier hatte das spätere Heilige Römische Reich, einer der Vorläufer der heutigen Bundesrepublik, im Mittelalter seinen geografischen und politischen Mittelpunkt. Otto der Große und seine Nachfahren, die Ottonen, gehörten um 1000 zu den mächtigsten Herrschern weltweit. In den folgenden Jahrhunderten gingen bis in die Gegenwart vom heutigen Bundesland bedeutende Impulse für Wissenschaft und Technik, Politik, Kunst oder Sport aus, wurde - überwiegend im Guten, aber auch im Schlechten - Überdurchschnittliches geleistet.
Die beiden Autoren Winfried Bettecken und Matthias Puhle haben in 70 Beiträgen derartige "Schlüsselmomente der Geschichte" allgemeinverständlich aufbereitet und fesselnd erzählt, der Fotograf Henning Kreitel sie individuell ins Bild gesetzt.

Schlüsselmomente der Geschichte

Von Sachsen-Anhalt in die Welt

The first history of US federal law enforcement from the nation's founding to the creation of the Justice Department in 1870, showing how federal prosecutions have always been shaped by local institutions and interests. The public imagines the Department of Justice and its agencies as mighty juggernauts. The reality is strikingly different. The FBI is barely larger than the Chicago Police Department, federal courts handle far fewer cases than state courts do, and federal prosecutors rely heavily on state and municipal authorities. The feds cannot function without local support, which means that the projects on which DOJ intervention is most needed-the ones that local communities oppose or don't care about-are also those least likely to succeed. This is no accident. Fragile Authority shows that this weakness is built into the structure of federal enforcement. To understand why, Daniel Richman traces the present-day workings of the DOJ all the way back to the nation's founding. The system was so circumscribed at the start that districts went years without a single conviction; enforcement efforts were often just performances of sovereignty for foreign audiences. And while a stronger enforcement apparatus emerged from the 1850 Fugitive Slave Act, its protection of Black civil rights during Reconstruction lasted only a few years before the federal retreat. After its creation in 1870, the Justice Department concealed its limitations by turning the agendas of local police-such as prosecuting gangsters, car thefts, and prostitution-into ostensibly national priorities. For better and for worse, federal law enforcement missions without local buy-in remain rare and difficult to sustain. The resistance to President Trump's immigration enforcement surge in sanctuary jurisdictions showed yet again that this norm is not easily broken.

Federal Justice Before the Justice Department

Fragile Authority

From New York Times bestselling author Jane Green comes her most poignant and timely novel yet—the story of a tech titan’s daughter, who, in the face of family crisis, must step into her own power to redefine a legacy "[O]bservant, smart, and timely… Missy Cooke is a wonderful and clever character, and the plot is as addicting as a bag of M&amp;Ms. I loved it." —Annie Hartnett, bestselling author of The Road to Tender Hearts Missy Cooke’s parents divorced when she was young. While her mother did her best to make ends meet, she hardly knew her father, Silicon Valley tech titan Marty Cooke. He devoted his life to work—and his new family. Now an adult with tech world aspirations of her own, Missy finds herself thrust into a world of high-stakes board meetings and cutthroat corporate policies when Marty must step down from his tech empire, iprry, and chooses Missy to take his place. As interim CEO, Missy must navigate the immense pressure of her father's legacy while navigating &nbsp;a strained relationship with her boyfriend, the reappearance of a childhood crush, and the constant scrutiny of a world that sees her as nothing more than a privileged heiress, an image totally at odds with her modest upbringing. To make matters worse, she uncovers a dark secret that threatens to destroy everything her father built. Can she forge her own path in the face of this dark discovery and prove her worth, or will she crumble under the weight of her father’s shadow? Propulsive, timely, and emotionally resonant, The Many Private Lives of Missy Cooke&nbsp;is an unforgettable family novel by a beloved author at the height of her literary power.

The Many Private Lives of Missy Cooke

This open access book critically analyses a wide range of consumer law issues generated or exacerbated by the Internet of Things. The Internet of Things challenges many of the dichotomies which have shaped current laws: goods-services, hardware-software, tangible-intangible, online-offline. The book focuses on 4 specific challenges: things-as-service, liability, bricking of physical devices through software control, and the potential for enhanced personalisation, especially for digital assistants. The chapters analyse specific applications such as smart homes, connected cars, and consumer wearables with a view to providing innovative solutions to the new challenges posed by the Internet of Things, and to steer the development of the Internet of Things in a fairer direction. As well as offering an important analysis of the potential for smart consumer laws in the Internet of Things, the book also provides important insights into the growing divergence between Germany's and the UK's consumer laws since Brexit. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by UKRI (Arts and Humanities Research Council) and the German Research Foundation (DFG).

How should the Arctic be viewed in the 21st century? In this book, a leading commentator assesses the competing players for the Arctic, looking at broad questions of governance and security. The author challenges the view that the Arctic is a passive space which is the focus of competitive advances from superpowers, arguing that it is more correctly understood as a dynamic pluriverse. Drawing on international law, international relations and diplomacy, this is an important re-assessment of the Arctic and its position in geo-politics.

Auch anhand von Zeitzeugenberichten, Dokumenten und zahlreichen Fotos kommt eine wenig bekannte, aber erstaunlich positive Seite der deutschen Einheit in den Blick.

Nach dem Mauerfall 1989 standen auch die Bibliotheken der DDR vor einer radikalen Neuausrichtung. Gerade den Staats-, Landes- und Universitätsbibliotheken gelang jedoch - mit Unterstützung aus dem Westen - eine rasche und beispiellose Modernisierung. Die Lücken in den Sammlungen wurden geschlossen, die Gebäude saniert und mit zeitgemäßer Informationstechnologie ausgestattet. Diese Erneuerungsoffensive löste einen Schub aus, von dem das gesamtdeutsche Bibliothekssystem profitiert hat. Auch in personeller Hinsicht verlief die Umgestaltung bemerkenswert: Zwar wurde das Personal auf Leitungsebene streng evaluiert, aber anders als in vielen Bereichen der Hochschulen gab es keinen starken Elitenaustausch von West nach Ost. Die Personalstärke der Belegschaften blieb relativ konstant - auch wenn die Übernahme der Angestellten in das bundesdeutsche Tarifsystem konfliktträchtig war und viele Erwartungen enttäuschte. Immerhin blieb der Großteil der Arbeitsplätze erhalten. Während andernorts nur von Versäumnissen und Verlierern die Rede ist, belegt dieses Buch: Die wissenschaftlichen Bibliotheken nicht nur im Osten, sondern auch im Westen gehören zu den Gewinnern der Einheit.

"With insight and eloquence, Jesse Wegman has done heroic work in bringing a vital but obscure architect of America back into the popular conversation. As Wegman amply proves, James Wilson merits our reconsideration-and our gratitude." -Jon Meacham New York Times journalist Jesse Wegman tells the story of James Wilson, a Founding Father whose bold vision shaped American democracy but whose legacy was lost to scandal. As a young lawyer, James Wilson made a celebrated case for American independence in an essay that inspired the famous words "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal." He wrote the first draft of the Constitution and, along with the more famous James Madison, played perhaps the essential role in its ultimate creation. Wilson believed that the people are the ultimate source of all power. He argued successfully for a strong central government and a powerful presidency, and fought unsuccessfully for a direct vote for the president and the Senate. Appointed as a justice to the first Supreme Court, he was later brought down by reckless land speculation and died of malaria in the back room of a North Carolina tavern while hiding from his creditors. Instead of being remembered as one of the nation's great political thinkers, Wilson was virtually written out of history. But in The Lost Founder, Wegman brings to life the most prescient of the earliest patriots and makes a convincing argument that scandal should not diminish the life and impact of a brilliant, complicated man whose vision for his country could not be more relevant today.

Rechtsfolgen der politischen Verfolgung im wiedervereinigten Deutschland

Die Arbeitsgruppe Aufarbeitung und Recht an der Europa-Universität Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder) bekam 2018 vom Bundeswissenschaftsministerium den Auftrag, die "Rechtsfolgen politischer Verfolgung im wiedervereinigten Deutschland" zu untersuchen. Die wesentlichen Ergebnisse dieser Untersuchung werden in dieser Publikation veröffentlicht. Die gesetzlichen Grundlagen für die Rehabilitierung und Entschädigung politisch Verfolgter und Benachteiligter waren insgesamt zwar ausreichend. Dagegen war die Durchführung der Gesetze mangels behördlicher Verwaltungsvorschriften und Struktur der Rehabilitierungsverfahren mangelhaft. So müssten im Bereich der Bodenreform und der Kollektivierung ca. 10 % der Verfahren wegen krasser Rechtsfehler noch einmal neu aufgerollt werden. Folge der unzureichenden Umsetzung der Rehabilitierungsgesetze ist nicht zuletzt, dass Angehörige und Nachkommen politisch Verfolgter mit dem Rechtsstaat unzufrieden sind.
