Twists of Fate
Paul Salomon was a successful Hamburg bank manageruntil 1933. He had become prosperous within a few years, bought a handsome house in Harvestehude, and was able to afford his children a carefree youthalmost. With this book, his son Ernest H. Sanders, who immigrated to New York in 1938, gives an account of the rise and fall of his family in Germany. The stealthy transformation from a normal civil life toat first unacknowledgedpersecution, which resulted in the suicide of both parents on September 21, 1941, is recounted in a subtle and therefore moving way. In spite of these painful experiences, Sanders retained a close connection to his native city, which enabled him to take his final school examination in spite of contrary orders, thereby laying the foundation for his future in the United States.
Understanding German Real Estate Markets
Real estate is the biggest real asset class in an economy, and Germany is the biggest economy in Europe. This implies opportunities as well as specific risks for investors and policy makers. As the German real estate markets have by and large been spared severe disruptions in the course of the economic crisis, many questions arise for investors and academics alike. What are the key institutional characteristics of the German real estate markets that make it different? What are the short and long-term drivers of demand and supply? Which regional and functional market segments are most likely to outperform in the next few years? What are the most important pitfalls for investors in Germany? This book gives answers to these and many more questions. The editors have invited a broad range of extensively knowledgeable practitioners and academics from across the relevant real estate spectrum, i.e. economic, legal, tax, planning and financing issues, to express their views. There is no better English publication that gives such a profound and simultaneously entertaining overview of Germany’s real estate markets.
"Und das ungeheure Bild der Landschaft...“
The understanding of landscape in the German-speaking area has some similarities with the discussions of the topic in other European languages and scientific communities, but there are some specifics. These specifics can be found both in the common sense understanding of landscape and in the history of scientific conceptualization. Special features of the common sense understanding lie on the one hand in the medieval roots, a strong romantic charge and the strong connection between home and landscape. With regard to the scientific examination of landscape, there are specific fractions and discontinuities in the German-speaking world. Contents• Theoretical Framing: the Creation of Landscape...

Knowledge and Institutions
This open access book bridges the disciplinary boundaries within the social sciences to explore the role of social institutions in shaping geographical contexts, and in creating new knowledge. It includes theorizations as well as original empirical case studies on the emergence, maintenance and change of institutions as well as on their constraining and enabling effects on innovation, entrepreneurship, art and cultural heritage, often at regional scales across Europe and North America. Rooted in the disciplines of management and organization studies, sociology, geography, political science, and economics the contributors all take comprehensive approaches to carve out the specific contextuality of institutions as well as their impact on societal outcomes. Not only does this book offer detailed insights into current debates in institutional theory, it also provides background for scholars, students, and professionals at the intersection between regional development, policy-making, and regulation.
Einzelhandelsentwicklung in den Gemeinden
Die Erscheinungsbilder des Einzelhandels befinden sich im Wandel. Veranderte Markttendenzen und raumliche Entwicklungsmodelle treffen aufeinander. Kommunen und die Trager der Raumordnungsplanung sehen sich wachsenden Anforderungen ausgesetzt. Nicht nur die Standortgemeinden, sondern auch Nachbargemeinden mit zentralen Versorgungsbereichen mussen sich mit den Fach- und Rechtsfragen der stadtebaulichen und raumordnungsplanerischen Einzelhandelssteuerung befassen, die sich im Zusammenhang mit der Erhaltung und Stabilisierung von Einzelhandelsnutzungen in den Gemeinden stellen. Im Rahmen der am 19. Marz 2013 an der Technischen Universitat Kaiserslautern unter der Schirmherrschaft des Bundesministeriums fur Verkehr, Bau und Stadtentwicklung durchgefuhrten wissenschaftlichen Fachtagung wurden neben den aktuellen Entwicklungen Fach- und Rechtsfragen im Zusammenhang mit Einzelhandelskonzepten und Vertraglichkeitsuntersuchungen sowie deren Bedeutung fur die Bauleitplanung erortert und die einschlagige hochstrichterliche Rechtsprechung beleuchtet. Der Tagungsband enthalt die schriftlich ausgearbeiteten Referate.

The Paradigm Shift Towards Energy Sustainability
Since 2004, the Summer Academy 'Energy and the Environment' has brought together practitioners and policy makers from countries worldwide to engage in an interdisci-plinary discussion on practical solutions to problems of energy law. The fifth annual Summer Academy focuses on 'The Paradigm Shift towards Energy Sustainability'. As is evi-dent through the sheer scope of the articles presented and reprinted in this volume, discussion at the 2008 Summer Academy was rich and varied in ideas and interpretations. One thing emerged especially clearly: policy priorities must be designed to encompass a multidisciplinary approach to energy sustainability. Not only must renewable energy solutions be promoted but incentives must also be increased for greater fossil fuel energy efficiency and energy conservation. Experiences from both developed and developing countries are provided to illustrate needed sustainable energy solutions at the local level to address the global climate crisis.
Reach Consortia Model Agreements
The REACH Regulation requires data sharing amongst registrants of the same substance in order to avoid unnecessary testing - in particular animal testing - and to minimise costs for industry and authorities. Existing test data should be jointly used, new tests should be carried out only one time on behalf of all registrants. The legally required cooperation of competitors does not work without rules set out by contract. The authors had been mandated by the German chemical industry to develop in close cooperation with a project team made up of industry and association experts model agreements for consortia and other forms of cooperation amongst registrants. For manufacturers, importers and only representatives who often will have to register a large amount of substances it is important that recognized standard versions of such agreements are available. The reader will find a variety of such model agreements in this book. When using one of the model agreements adaptation to the particular circumstances of an individual case will be necessary.
Emissions Trading in Europe: Initial Experiences and Lessons for the Future
When the European Union decided to launch a comprehensive emissions trading scheme in 2005, observers commonly described it as a "grand policy experiment". Three years later, we can look back on the first trading period (2005-2007) and safely affirm that this emissions trading scheme is far from being a mere experiment: instead, it has become an economic and political reality, as is evidenced by the multi-billion dollar carbon market it helped conceive. But how will this trading scheme evolve as we move into an uncertain future for the climate regime, and what lessons can we draw from its first phase of implementation? These are the questions that participants addressed during the 3rd international Summer Academy "Energy and the Environment", and their conclusions are summarised in this timely volume. Authored by government officials, academics, legal advisers and policy analysts, this volume provides unique insights into the past, present and future of the European emissions trading scheme.
