The Biological Consequences of Socioeconomic Inequalities
Social scientists have repeatedly uncovered a disturbing feature of economic inequality: people with larger incomes and better education tend to lead longer, healthier lives. This pattern holds across all ages and for virtually all measures of health, apparently indicating a biological dimension of inequality. But scholars have only begun to understand the complex mechanisms that drive this disparity. How exactly do financial well-being and human physiology interact? The Biological Consequences of Socioeconomic Inequalities incorporates insights from the social and biological sciences to quantify the biology of disadvantage and to assess how poverty gets under the skin to impact health. Draw...

The Legacy of J.C. Kapteyn
Jacobus Cornelius Kapteyn (1851-1922) of the University of Groningen was one of the foremost astronomers of his time, resulting in a leading role internationally of Dutch astronomy throughout the twentieth century. This volume, which is the proceedings of a special `legacy' symposium at the celebration of the 385th anniversary of the University of Groningen, addresses Kapteyn's influence on the development of modern astronomy through studies of his pioneering work on statistical astronomy and the Structure of the Sidereal System, and his leadership in establishing international collaborations, in particular the Plan of Selected Areas. In addition to historical studies related to Kapteyn's person, work, international collaborations and organisational efforts, the volume discusses the influence of Kapteyn on the internationalisation of astronomy and on contemporary astronomy. It also provides an inventory of Kapteyn's correspondence.

Through the Language Glass
"Guy Deutscher is that rare beast, an academic who talks good sense about linguistics... he argues in a playful and provocative way, that our mother tongue does indeed affect how we think and, just as important, how we perceive the world." Observer *Does language reflect the culture of a society? *Is our mother-tongue a lens through which we perceive the world? *Can different languages lead their speakers to different thoughts? In Through the Language Glass, acclaimed author Guy Deutscher will convince you that, contrary to the fashionable academic consensus of today, the answer to all these questions is - yes. A delightful amalgam of cultural history and popular science, this book explores some of the most fascinating and controversial questions about language, culture and the human mind.
Kartellverbot bei Mediation und Schiedsgerichtsbarkeit im Immaterialgüterrecht
Wie reagiert die Rechtsordnung auf wettbewerbswidrige Absprachen von Parteien eines Mediationsverfahrens? Antwort gibt das materielle Kartellverbot, insbesondere die Aspekte der Privilegierung von Wettbewerbsvergleichen und der Rechtswahlfreiheit. Marius Tillwich untersucht die Durchsetzbarkeit des Kartellverbots anhand der Möglichkeiten eines Staates, in die private Streitbeilegung einzugreifen. Dabei spielen Probleme des Schiedsrechts eine zentrale Rolle, etwa ob das grundsätzliche Verbot der Révision au fond auch für Mediationsergebnisse gilt. Der Autor kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass dieses Verbot zu Gunsten eines wirksamen Kartellverbots weder bei Mediation noch in der Schiedsgerichtsba...
