For almost 100 years, Coney Island was the most popular seaside destination in the United States. Eachyear, millions escaped the heat of New York City to savor the thrills of the Cyclone roller coaster and Wonder Wheel at the Astroland amusement park. They came to sample an original Nathan's Famous hot dog, witness the first demolition derby, or to take a chance at a game of three-card Monte on the legendary boardwalk. The advent of air-conditioning, concerns about Coney's "tawdry" entertainment, and faster transportation to other beaches hastened the demise of what had become a uniquely American icon of entertainment and a defining terminus of New York at the water's edge. In an effort to r...
Intestate Succession is the second volume in the Comparative Succession Law series which examines the principles of succession law from a comparative and historical perspective. This volume discusses the rules which apply where a person dies either without leaving a valid will, or leaving a will which fails to dispose of all of the person's assets. Among the questions considered are the following: What is the nature of the rules for the disposal of the deceased's assets? Are they mechanical or is there an element of discretion? Are particular types of property dealt with in particular ways? Is there entitlement to individual assets (as opposed to money)? Do the rules operate in a parentelic ...
How does Europe’s economic crisis affect the ways in which industry and entrepreneurship are experienced on a grassroots level? The book offers an answer to this question by exploring the Italian jewellery town of Valenza and the downturn of its principal industry. Through the experiences of its inhabitants, the study investigates the social role that jewellery production had in Valenza and provides an ethnographic account of the crisis the city endures. This analysis delves into the relationship between a community and its industry in order to understand the social and cultural challenges Italy and Europe will face in the future.
Il volume è strutturato in maniera organica e focalizza la sua attenzione sulle questioni più rilevanti derivanti dalla lettura della normativa primaria e secondaria e tenendo conto degli orientamenti interpretativi e delle prassi maturate sulla previgente formulazione delle norme, ma anche dei primi indirizzi emersi dopo la riforma. Il manuale è stato strutturato seguendo sostanzialmente lo schema legislativo con una specifica attenzione alle innovazioni con le quali l’operatore deve confrontarsi. Numerose sono le novità contenute nella disciplina secondaria, sia nei decreti attuativi per i crediti d’imposta e per il patrocinio a spese dello Stato (DD.MM. 1° agosto 2023) sia, e soprattutto, nel nuovo regolamento ministeriale in vigore dal 15 novembre 2023 (D.M. 24 ottobre 2023, n. 150).
Il manuale affronta il diritto della mediazione civile e commerciale alla luce della recente “riforma Cartabia” e costituisce uno strumento che, pur adottando un taglio pratico nell’approccio anche alle questioni più complesse, costituisce un importante momento di riflessione sulle numerose e rilevanti innovazioni di specifico interesse per tutti gli operatori (mediatori, avvocati, notai, magistrati, consulenti). Più che di un’opera collettanea si tratta di un’opera corale, in quanto il lavoro svolto costituisce il frutto di un costante confronto e di una valutazione condivisa tra gli autori al fine di offrire al lettore un quadro completo, sistematico e coerente della disciplina...

This third volume in a series on Comparative Succession Law concerns the entitlement of family members to override the provisions of a deceased person's will to obtain money or assets (or more money or assets) from the person's estate. Some countries, notably those in the civil law tradition (such as France or Germany), confer a pre-ordained share of the deceased's estate or of its value on certain members of the deceased's family, and especially on the deceased's children and spouse. Other countries, notably those in the common law tradition (such as England, Canada, or Australia), leave the matter to the discretion of the court, the amount awarded depending primarily on financial need.
