How Nature Works
Self-organized criticality, the spontaneous development of systems to a critical state, is the first general theory of complex systems with a firm mathematical basis. This theory describes how many seemingly desperate aspects of the world, from stock market crashes to mass extinctions, avalanches to solar flares, all share a set of simple, easily described properties. "...a'must read'...Bak writes with such ease and lucidity, and his ideas are so intriguing...essential reading for those interested in complex systems...it will reward a sufficiently skeptical reader." -NATURE "...presents the theory (self-organized criticality) in a form easily absorbed by the non-mathematically inclined reader." -BOSTON BOOK REVIEW "I picture Bak as a kind of scientific musketeer; flamboyant, touchy, full of swagger and ready to join every fray... His book is written with panache. The style is brisk, the content stimulating. I recommend it as a bracing experience." -NEW SCIENTIST

Die Schweizerische Restitutionspraxis Im Lichte Der Washingtoner Prinzipien
In Switzerland, since the signing of the Washington Declaration in 1998, the lack of uniform standards has resulted in an essentially amorphous and contourless decision-making practice that has not yet been the subject of in-depth research. At the same time, the implementation of the Declaration has been the subject of intense debate for a number of years and now once again on the occasion of the creation of the Commission for Historic Cultural Heritage at the turn of 2024. Following a comprehensive survey and analysis of Swiss restitution practice since December 1998, the author is able to derive key decision-making parameters. She pays particular attention to the central concept of "fugitive property" in Switzerland.

In a Different Light
In a Different Light reproduces in full colour Samuel Bak's remarkable new series of 55 drawings and painting in which he examines concepts such as creation, cruelty, mortality, morality, and accusation. These paintings are a struggle to understand, explain, and rebuild. Subjects include scriptural stories of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and their various encounters with their Creator; humankind's passage through Time and its changing role in existence; tikkun hao'lam-the enormous task of repairing the world; and Michelangelo's Creation of Adam, at whose centre God's and Adam's pointing fingers almost touch. Lawrence Langer develops our understanding of these rich and complicated stories and of the extraordinary artist and his personal vision.Imbued with the same rich colour palette and use of metaphors for which Bak is renowned, this body of work adds new symbols and characters to the artist's repertoire. Moreover, it asks difficult questions concerning divine compassion, human defiance, moral responsibility, and the role of the artist in society. These emotive images impel us to rethink our notions of history, and our way of seeing the past and present.

Cultural Heritage and International Law
This book explores the objects, means and ends of international cultural heritage protection. It starts from a broad conception of cultural heritage that encompasses both tangible property, such as museum objects or buildings, and intangible heritage, such as languages and traditions. Cultural heritage thus defined is protected by various legal regimes, including the law of armed conflicts, UNESCO Conventions and international criminal law. With a view to strengthening international protection, the authors analyze existing regimes and elaborate innovative concepts, such as blue helmets of culture and safe havens for endangered cultural heritage. Finally, the ends of international protection come to the fore, and the authors address possible conflicts between protecting cultural diversity and wishes to strengthen cultural identity.
