Post Award Issues: ASA Special Series No. 38

The arbitral tribunal's responsibilities and tasks often do not end when it has rendered it's award. Tribunals may be called to interpret their awards or correct clerical errors, the award may be sent back to them for amendments; arbitrators may have to comment on their awards or may be called as witnesses; they may be invited to continue even though all pending disputes have been decided; their fees may be challenged or they may have to claim tax reimbursements. These and other issues that arbitrators, parties and institutions have to face once the award has been rendered are examined by leading authorities.

The Tempest

"Shakespeare's valedictory play is also one of his most poetical and magical. The story involves the spirit Ariel, the savage Caliban, and Prospero, the banished Duke of Milan, now a wizard living on a remote island who uses his magic to shipwreck a party of ex-compatriots. This extensively annotated version of The Tempest makes the play completely accessible to readers in the twenty-first century." "Linguist and translator Burton Raffel offers generous help with vocabulary, pronunciation, and prosody and provides alternative readings of phrases and lines. His on-page annotations give readers all the tools they need to comprehend the play and begin to explore its many possible interpretations. Raffel provides an introductory essay, and in a concluding essay, Harold Bloom examines the characters Prospero and Caliban."--BOOK JACKET.

Writing about Lives in Science

Following discussions on scientific biography carried out over the past few decades, this book proposes a kaleidoscopic survey of the uses of biography as a tool to understand science and its context.

The period covered spans from 1732, when Laura Bassi was the first woman to get a tenured professorship of physics, to 2009, when Elizabeth H. Blackburn and Carol W. Greider were the first women's team to have won a Nobel Prize in science.
