Class Actions in Europe
Not so long ago, class actions were considered to be a textbook example of American exceptionalism; many of their main features were assumed to be incompatible with the culture of the civil law world. However, the tide is changing; while there are now trends in the USA toward limiting or excluding class actions, notorious cases like Dieselgate are moving more and more European jurisdictions to extend the reach of their judicial collective redress mechanisms. For many new fans of class actions, collective redress has become a Holy Grail of sorts, a miraculous tool that will rejuvenate national systems of civil justice and grant them unprecedented power. Still, while the introduction of variou...
The Physics of Computing
The Physics of Computing gives a foundational view of the physical principles underlying computers. Performance, power, thermal behavior, and reliability are all harder and harder to achieve as transistors shrink to nanometer scales. This book describes the physics of computing at all levels of abstraction from single gates to complete computer systems. It can be used as a course for juniors or seniors in computer engineering and electrical engineering, and can also be used to teach students in other scientific disciplines important concepts in computing. For electrical engineering, the book provides the fundamentals of computing that link core concepts to computing. For computer science, it...
Handbook of Research on Comparative Approaches to the Digital Age Revolution in Europe and the Americas
The way we talk, work, learn, and think has been greatly shaped by modern technology. These lifestyle changes have made digital literacy the new written literacy, where those who are not able to use computers are unable to function and perform everyday tasks. The Handbook of Research on Comparative Approaches to the Digital Age Revolution in Europe and the Americas explores the new ways that technology is shaping our society and the advances it is bringing, along with potential drawbacks, such as human jobs being replaced by computers. This expansive handbook is an essential reference source for students, academics, and professionals in the fields of communication, information technology, sociology, social policy, and education; it will also prove of interest to policymakers, funding-agencies, and digital inclusion program developers. This handbook features a broad scope of research-based articles on topics including, but not limited to, computational thinking, e-portfolios, e-citizenship, digital inclusion policies, and information literacy as a form of community empowerment.
Escaping the Devils Bedroom
Escaping the Devil's Bedroom is a startling piece of frontline research. Jewell explores how women, men and children are ensnared by or forced into commercial sexual exploitation around the world. She interviews ministry leaders, experts and survivors to illustrate how escape and healing are possible. True stories describe how survivors are working alongside ministries and churches to help those still trapped in the vicious cycle of the sex trade. Each chapter includes a Scripture reference plus questions for reflection and discussion. Ideal for small groups or classrooms.
Handbook of Global Legal Policy
Featuring a pragmatic approach to coping with the legal complications surrounding pretrial release, drug-related crime, and freedom of religion, among other issues, this timely reference presents a host of legal policy problems in diverse political and cultural settings throughout the world. Contributors bridge the academic gulf between worldwide and public policy studies, as well as the ideological gap between liberal and conservative attitudes toward constitutional law, individual liberty, public safety, and human rights. The authors emphasize the need for an integrated, "one-world" perspective in the international legal community, drawing on over 1200 references, tables, and illustrations.
A Grande História
A GRANDE HISTÓRIA — UM CONVITE PARA PROFESSORES CRISTÃOS é um instrumento e um modelo para inspirar e equipar docentes e estudantes universitários cristãos, em instituições públicas ou privadas, a desenvolverem o seu trabalho e a vida acadêmica como cooperadores de Deus na história da redenção e, ao mesmo tempo, a universidade como campo missionário e meio para servir ao mundo e à sociedade. Nas palavras de G. K. Chesterton, "Se há uma história, há um contador da história"; ou de Abraham Kuyper, "Não há um único centímetro quadrado em todos os domínios da existência humana sobre o qual Cristo, que é soberano sobre tudo, não clame: é meu!". É assim que A GRANDE H...
Legal Culture in the Age of Globalization
This volume of essays examines how the legal systems of the chief countries of Latin America and Mediterranean Europe—Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, France, Italy, and Spain—changed in the last quarter of the 20th century. Through essays that provide a wealth of data on the courts and the legal profession in these countries, the book attempts to relate changes in the operation of the legal systems to changes in the political and social history of the societies in which they are embedded. The details vary, in accordance with the particular history and structure of the countries, but there are also key commonalities that run through all of the stories: democratization, globalization, and changes in the legal order that seem to be worldwide; more power to courts; a growing legal profession; and the entry of women into what was once a masculine club.
Fé Ritualizada
GESTOS, ARTE, FORMA E CONTEÚDO No centro da vida religiosa estão não apenas as convicções, mas também as práticas religiosas, os ritos litúrgicos. * * * * FÉ RITUALIZADA – ENSAIOS EM FILOSOFIA DA LITURGIA explora filosoficamente a riqueza da vida litúrgica, das múltiplas formas como ela é expressa na tradição (especialmente na tradição ortodoxa). Para o autor, a liturgia não é um apêndice da vida cristã. Ele explora o significado e as implicações dos ritos, incluindo posturas e recitações coletivas. Discorre também sobre a ética das atividades religiosas e sobre o problema da ocultação divina. Embora a participação na liturgia seja central para a vida religios...
