The worst terror attack in decades threatens the energy supply of Europe. A manifest puts the blame on the lack of climate action by the European Commission.

He activates surveillance networks all over the continent in the search for the perpetrator. All evidence points to Italian software developer Samanta Di Vincenzo but Arnaud has his doubts. Everything seems to be too clean cut, too obvious. Is Samanta the terrorist they are looking for? The more Arnaud investigates, the less anything makes sense ... "A delightfully refreshing thriller from debut author Florian Matusek. On point with our current world affairs, I thoroughly enjoyed the fast pace and the amazing twists of the story.

An integrin, or integrin receptor, is an integral membrane protein in the plasma membrane of cells. It plays a role in the attachment of a cell to the extracellular matrix (ECM) and to other cells, and in signal transduction from the ECM to the cell. There are many types of integrin, and many cells have multiple types on their surface. Integrins are of vital importance to all metazoans, from humans to sponges. This volume in Methods in Enzymology presents methods for studying integrins.

Hans Kelsen and Max Weber are conventionally understood as initiators not only of two distinct and opposing processes of concept formation, but also of two discrete and contrasting theoretical frameworks for the study of law. The Foundation of the Juridical-Political: Concept Formation in Hans Kelsen and Max Weber places the conventional understanding of the theoretical relationship between the work of Kelsen and Weber into question. Focusing on the theoretical foundations of Kelsen’s legal positivism and Weber’s sociology of law, and guided by the conceptual frame of the juridico-political, the contributors to this interdisciplinary volume explore convergences and divergences in the approach and stance of Kelsen and Weber to law, the State, political science, modernity, legal rationality, legal theory, sociology of law, authority, legitimacy and legality. The chapters comprising The Foundation of the Juridical-Political uncover complexities within as well as between the theoretical and methodological principles of Kelsen and Weber and, thereby, challenge the enduring division between legal positivism and the sociology of law in contemporary discourse.
