This comprehensive volume analyzes dual markets for regulated substances and services, and aims to provide a framework for their effective regulation. A “dual market” refers to the existence of both a legal and an illegal market for a regulated product or service (for example, prescription drugs). These regulations exist in various countries for a mix of public health, historical, political and cultural reasons. Allowing the legal market to thrive, while trying to eliminate the illegal market, provides a unique challenge for governments and law enforcement. Broken down into nine main sections, the book studies comparative international policies for regulating these “dual markets” fro...

'A wonderful, compelling read' Vassos Alexander, radio presenter and ultrarunner Welcome to the Barkley Marathons, a fever dream of an ultra event, inspired by a prison break, heralded by a conch blast, paid for in cigarettes and socks, and completed only by a select few. A race in which competitors haul themselves up mountains, through extreme weather conditions, beyond pain and exhaustion, mile after mile. Completed 60 miles? That's just the fun run. Journalist and ultrarunner Michiel Panhuysen is a multiple-time Barkley entrant, having fallen under the spell of this most enigmatic of races – and its presiding philosopher-genius organizer Lazarus Lake – in the early 2010s. On each occasion, the Barkley won. The Barkley nearly always wins. In the Spell of the Barkley is a story of sporting obsession, exploring what drives individuals to challenge themselves at the limits of what is possible – and what it takes to succeed.

Nadat ze stopte als Buitenhof-presentator maakte Marcia Luyten snel naam als columnist van de Volkskrant. Daar ontleedt ze veranderende verhoudingen in een revolutionaire tijd: een opwarmende aarde, onhoudbare ongelijkheid, de opkomst van extreemrechts, een pandemie en dictators op het wereldtoneel. In dat tumult verschuift de macht. Na decennia business first zoeken economie en samenleving – met de politiek op afstand volgend – naar een andere ordening. Een waarin mens en natuur niet langer ondergeschikt zijn aan winst. Maar de weg naar een nieuw evenwicht is geplaveid met protest en conflict. In haar columns zoekt Marcia Luyten het grote in kleine verhalen, schakelt ze van het persoonlijke naar een verandering van het systeem, met scherpte en met humor. Daarbij zoekt ze altijd naar de fundamenten: wat is een samenleving?

Seth nous initie ici à un espace de conscience qu'il nomme « psyché », source de tous les possibles, et qui se manifeste de différentes manières en fonction des choix de chacun. Présentation Seth se décrit lui-même comme « l'essence de l'énergie d'une personnalité » non incarnée. En tant que tel, il a dicté chaque mot de ce livre à une autrice américaine, Jane Roberts. Afin de nous faire dépasser les croyances qui nous limitent, ce grand pédagogue n'hésite pas à nous secouer, par exemple lorsqu'il affirme, arguments à l'appui : « le fait que l'être humain reconnaisse sa nature bisexuelle est une nécessité pour son avenir ».S'adressant à tous ceux qui sont « las d...
