Comparative law is a common subject-matter of research and teaching in many universities around the world, and the twenty-first century has aptly been termed 'the era of comparative law'. This Cambridge Handbook of Comparative Law presents a truly global perspective of comparative law today. The contributors are drawn from all parts of the world to provide different perspectives on how we understand the 'law' and how it operates in practice. In substance, the Handbook contains 36 chapters covering a broad range of topics, divided under the following headings: 'Methods of Comparative Law' (Part I), 'Legal Families and Geographical Comparisons' (Part II), 'Central Themes in Comparative Law' (Part III); and 'Comparative Law beyond the State' (Part IV).

The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) turned 40 in 2020 and experts around the world didn’t miss the celebrations. This book collects twenty-five studies in tribute to the CISG for its 40 anniversary, written by experts from Europe, America and Asia, with different focus of analysis. The goal of “The transnational sales contract. 40 years influence of the CISG on national jurisdictions” is to present what we have learned from the CISG during this time of born, development and consolidation. The book aims at navigating through the influence of the CISG in different jurisdictions, thus revealing the creation and existence of a truly autonomous and transnational contract law of worldwide application.
Florence, 1553. An assassin sent by Arma Dei disappears into the night, with him a collection of heretical art and writings. For five centuries the satchel, containing sketches and writings by Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and many others, is pursued by kings, popes, princes, and scavengers. The Paletti Notebook lives on through rumor and legend, which also suggest that it contains the infamous Gospel of Matthias, thought to be lost forever. In modern day Vienna, a bank manager discovers World War II-era photographs that hint to the collection's existence, sparking a new campaign by opposing forces to find the Paletti Notebook and take possession of its crucially important contents - by any means necessary.

Se trata de una obra extensiva en sus intereses y sintética en la exposición dogmática. Su sustento histórico y doctrinario es amplio, pero su orientación práctica a la jurisprudencia completa como un texto de derecho ”.
Este libro pretende contribuir al debate sobre el proceso de transformación de la familia a partir de la consideración de la manera como se han desarrollado algunos principios o el derecho mismo en algunos ordenamientos jurídicos, y de cómo se abordan nuevos problemas partiendo de las categorías generales. El objetivo no es, pues, brindar una mirada exhaustiva, sino ofrecer lecturas adicionales. En ese sentido, se trata de una obra colectiva en la que participan juristas de diversa proveniencia (nacional y académica): Chile, Colombia, Croacia, España e Italia. Cada capítulo aborda un tema u ordenamiento jurídico distinto, valiéndose en cada caso de una metodología diferente.
