This book explores the ethical and legal dilemmas of nanotechnology with a focus on human rights. As in nanotechnology and nanomedicine, it utilizes a similar approach in law to address present and future issues in nanotechnology that looks to past and present law with new understanding to not only prepare for the future but address existing contemporary issues – a ‘Janus Approach’. Nanotechnology brings unprecedented technological revolution. However, it comes with heightened ethical and legal concerns. Nanotechnology is now present in every aspect of life, without full public awareness. Some branches of nanotechnology utilize human DNA, and affect humans in a multitude of unprecedent...
A multidisciplinary overview of bio-derived solvent applications, life cycle analysis, and strategies required for industrial commercialization This book provides the first and only comprehensive review of the state-of-the-science in bio-derived solvents. Drawing on their own pioneering work in the field, as well as an exhaustive survey of the world literature on the subject, the authors cover all the bases—from bio-derived solvent applications to life cycle analysis to strategies for industrial commercialization—for researchers and professional chemists working across a range of industries. In the increasingly critical area of sustainable chemistry, the search for new and better green s...
The basic set of this work consists of 1851-1974, v. 1-22. Supplements will periodically update information.
This eye-opening book invites careful reflection on how we should respond to colonial and post-colonial wrongs from the perspective of international law, in particular international criminal law. In addition to a dozen case studies, the book offers analyses based on legal concepts such as subjugation, debellatio, continuing crime, and transfer of civilians, as well as on the discourses of Third World Approaches to International Law and transitional justice. It contains a number of practical suggestions for what can be done to enhance a sense of access to international law in connection with colonial wrongs. The book has eighteen chapters organised in five parts, addressing the context of the...
