This book is widely regarded as one of the most remarkable achievements in Roman Law and Comparative Law scholarship this century - a fact attested to by the universal acclaim with which it has been received throughout Europe, America, and beyond. As a work of Roman Law scholarship it fusesthe vast volume of 20th century scholarship on the Roman law of obligations into a clear and very readable (and in many ways original) account of the law. As a work of comparative law it traces the transformation of the Roman law of obligations over the centuries into what is now modern German,English and South African law, presenting the reader with a contrast between these legal systems which is unique both in its scope and its depth. As a whole the book is written with a deep understanding of human nature and of many social, economic, and other forces that determine the face of thelaw.
In this seminal work originally published in 1992, an insider account from the man who paid off the Iranians for the American hostages Ari Ben-Menashe spent more than a decade in the innermost circles of Israeli intelligence. He was privy to the secret negotiations with the Iranians to delay the release of the American hostages until after the election of Ronald Reagan, he enlisted Robert Gates in the transfer of the $52 million payoff to Iran, and was Robert Maxwell's handler. Ben-Menashe brokered secret Israeli arms sales on four continents and briefed George Bush on the vast arms network. He saw Israel's own nuclear arsenal develop, and watched his masters sponsor monstrous terrorist acts in the name of a higher good. Then, as he questioned the immorality around him, he was cut off and set up. This is the full story of the man who oversaw the accumulation of hundreds of millions of dollars in CIA and Israeli intelligence slush funds.
Frederic L. Darley was the consummate clinical scientist. One cannot peruse the literature on neurogenic communication disorders without constantly encountering his name, his work, his influence. His work was monumental. The contributors of the seven papers in this issue of Aphasiology have long and impressive track records as researchers and clinicians. Their papers are important because not only do they reflect how Darley's work has influenced diagnostic and patient management decisions, but in some cases the contributors take issue with and/or expand on his work. This ability to question existing evidence was a trait that Fred Darley instilled in his students. Equally important is that each paper tells us something about him as a person, as a mentor who shaped careers, and about the love and respect his students and colleagues had for him.
Newest volume of the central scholarly forum for discussion of Brecht and aspects of theater and literature of particular interest to him, especially the politics of literature and theater in a global context.

The First Annual Clinical Aphasiology Conference (CAC) was convened in Albuquerque in 1971. It was attended by a small group of primarily practicing clinicians dedicated to meeting the human service needs of their clients, while recognizing the importance of contributing to the collective knowledge base of their discipline by providing empirical evidence supporting the links between their clinical interventions and outcomes. Thirteen years later Barlow, Hays, and Nelson (1984) would describe, in their now seminal publication The Scientist Practitioner, an integrated model of applied behavioral research, its strategies and methods, and the role of the practitioner in the acquisition of knowle...

Was bleibt wenn ein Mensch gegangen ist? Was ist sein Vermächtnis? Es sind nicht nur Dinge, die er hinterlässt, nicht nur Bilder oder Erinnerungen. Manchmal ist es auch ein unausgesprochener Auftrag. Bei den Angehörigen von Mordopfern, aber auch bei Ermittlern und Ermittlerinnen begegnet es uns häufig, dass sie dieses Vermächtnis weiterführen wollen. Sie wollen, dass die Geschichte einer Tat nicht in Vergessenheit gerät. Dass die Welt die Wahrheit erfährt. Oder dass ein Täter gefasst wird und ihm eine gerechte Strafe widerfährt. Manchmal geht es auch darum, das Opfer zu finden, um ihm eine letzte Ruhestätte zu geben. In der Titelgeschichte dieser Ausgabe begegnen wir einer Frau, d...
