Networks of Collaborative Contracts for Innovation
With the rise of automation and artificial intelligence, the companies that will succeed in the future are those who operate under a constant state of innovation. Not just that, they will often need to ensure that they pursue 'open innovation'. This book explores the contractual basis for innovation, examining the legal challenges raised by contracts to innovate. Offering a dual perspective, it takes an empirical approach to examine how agreements are structured to overcome the inherent uncertainty implicit in innovative activity. It also presents a legal framework for contracts to innovate, based on the duty of loyalty to the contractual network, which could provide guidance to navigate the uncertainty of these relationships.
The Triumph of the Gospel in the Sacristan's Home
I have written my familys true story as a novel in order to help the reader understand the immense love God has for all of humanity. The story narrates my familys miraculous conversion to Christianity and the struggles we faced because of it. It also includes eyewitness accounts of the persecution experienced by the evangelical church in Colombia during the years 1948 through 1962. In the end, Gods love reaches out and transforms the lives of even the most skeptical family members. God wants that nobody get loss but everybody repented to receive forgiveness of his or her sins and the gif of eternal life.
Digital Signifiers in an Architecture of Information
This book proposes a new critical relationship between computation and architecture, developing a history and theory of representation in architecture to understand and unleash potential means to open up creativity in the field. Historically, architecture has led to spatial representation. Today, computation has established new representational paradigms that can be compared to spatial representations, such as the revolution of perspective in the Renaissance. Architects now use software, robotics, and fabrication tools with very little understanding and participation in how these tools influence, revolutionize, and determine both architecture and its construction today. Why does the discipli...
The Accordion in the Americas
An invention of the Industrial Revolution, the accordion provided the less affluent with an inexpensive, loud, portable, and durable "one-man-orchestra" capable of producing melody, harmony, and bass all at once. Imported from Europe into the Americas, the accordion with its distinctive sound became a part of the aural landscape for millions of people but proved to be divisive: while the accordion formed an integral part of working-class musical expression, bourgeois commentators often derided it as vulgar and tasteless. This rich collection considers the accordion and its myriad forms, from the concertina, button accordion, and piano accordion familiar in European and North American music t...
Till Then My Love Forever
I BELIEVE DIVINE INTERVENTION HELPED SAVE MY LIFE. Other people may call it being lucky, beating the odds, or a twist of fate. But there was one day in my life, one dramatic moment that determined whether I would live or die. The intervention came so dramatically I thought that what happened must have been from God. Amazingly, it was not a doctor who rescued me from death. Instead, God sent the most famous Wall Street financier and philanthropist at the time, who met with presidents of the United States. His name was Bernard M. Baruch. Now that I'm in my seventies, I have the luxury of looking back and trying to understand why God gave me a long life, what I like to call the mystery of life, with a little intervention from Mr. Baruch. Why did God let me live? That is an interesting question only because I never became as wealthy or famous Mr. Baruch.
Judicial Review of Administrative Discretion in the Administrative State
This book deals with one of the greatest challenges for the judiciary in the 21st century. It reflects on the judiciary’s role in reviewing administrative discretion in the administrative state; a role that can no longer solely be understood from the traditional doctrine of the Trias Politica. Traditionally, courts review acts of administrative bodies implying a degree of discretion with quite some restraint. Typically it is reviewed whether the decision is non-arbitrary or whether there is no manifest error of assessment. The question arises though as to whether the concern regarding ensuring the non-arbitrary character of the exercise of administrative power, which is frequently performe...
