Between Compliance and Particularism
The book examines how the interests of the member states, which provide the primary driving force for developments in European integration, are internalised and addressed by the law of the European Union. In this context, member state interests are taken to mean the policy considerations, economic calculations, local socio-cultural factors, and the raw expressions of political will which shape EU policies and determine member state responses to the obligations arising from those policies. The book primarily explores the junctions and disjunctions between member state interests defined in such a manner and EU law, where the latter expresses either an obligation for the member states to comply with common policies or an acceptance of member state particularism under the common EU framework.
The Principle of Loyalty in EU Law
The principle of loyalty requires the EU and its Member States to co-operate sincerely towards the implementation of EU law. Under the principle, the European courts have developed significant public law duties on States to deepen the reach of EU law. This is the first full-length analysis of the loyalty principle and its legal implications.
The Oxford Handbook of Organizational Well-being
This Handbook focuses on organizational well being in its widest sense, and is concerned with reviewing the factors which are associated with ill health, as well as those which promote positive health and well being. In it, leading international scholars focus on the key issues around measuring well being, and individual and organizational factors.
The Joy of Work?

It draws on up-to-date research from around the world to present the causes and consequences of low job satisfaction and gives helpful suggestions and strategies for how to get more enjoyment from work. The book includes many interesting case studies about individual work situations, and features simple self-completion questionnaires and procedures to help increase your happiness. Practical suggestions cover how to improve a job without moving out of it, advice about c...
Film-induced Tourism
Film-induced tourism has the potential to revitalise flagging regional/rural communities and increase tourism to urban centres, however, it carries with it unique problems. This book explores the downside of the phenomenon.
The Engaged University
The Engaged University is a comprehensive empirical account of the global civic engagement movement in higher education. In universities around the world, something extraordinary is underway. Mobilizing their human and intellectual resources, institutions of higher education are directly tackling community problems – combating poverty, improving public health, and restoring environmental quality. This book documents and analyzes this exciting trend through studies of civic engagement and social responsibility at twenty institutions worldwide. This timely volume offers three special contributions to the literature on higher education policy and practice: a historical overview of the founding purposes of universities, which almost invariably included a context-specific element of social purpose, together with a survey of how these "founding" intentions have fared in different systems of higher education; a contemporary account of the policy and practice of universities – all over the world – seeking to re-engage with this social purpose; and an overview of generic issues which emerge for the "engaged university."
The Literary Tourist

Coal Science and Chemistry
In this book, specialists from a variety of disciplines address the vast and complex subject of the chemistry of coal. The book comprises two parts: the first consists of seven review articles on coal chemistry, including NMR, tandem mass spectrometry, physics, liquefaction, catalytic reactions, devolatilization and combustion. Of particular interest in this part, is the frequent inclusion in many of the contributions of the authors' own research results, hitherto unpublished elsewhere. Good examples of this are the work on magnetic susceptibility of coal (a new branch of coal physics) and the article on tandem mass spectrometry (a new branch of analytical chemistry of coal). The second part contains twelve original articles covering characterization and chemistry of coal, structure and depolymerization, analytical methods including gas chromatography, mass spectrometry, gas-liquid chromatography, size-exclusion chromatography and analysis of oxygen by fast-neutron activation. Physical chemistry and physical properties of coal are dealt with in articles on coal slurry electrolysis, oxidation, thermal decomposition, absorption and diffusion.
