Deux rivales pour un seul trône. Un ennemi en commun. Après l'assassinat de la doyenne Cariot, Iraya et Jazmyne se retrouvent en lice pour le trône. La première, l'impératrice disparue, veut rendre l'île d'Aiyca aux Obeah. Mais elle n'est pas certaine de vouloir gouverner, se sentant davantage l'âme d'une guerrière. La seconde, Jazmyne, doit faire ses preuves pour gagner la confiance de son peuple et prouver qu'elle est capable de le diriger. Mais alors que les deux adversaires sont occupées à fomenter des plans et à forger des alliances chacune de leur côté, un nouvel ennemi émerge, bien décidé à s'emparer de l'île. Iraya et Jazmyne parviendront-elles à mettre leur rivalité de côté pour combattre les Sombres et protéger l'île ? Traduit de l'anglais par Sylvie Denis

The 'Precautionary Principle' has sparked the central controversy over European and U.S. risk regulation. The Reality of Precaution is the most comprehensive study to go beyond precaution as an abstract principle and test its reality in practice. This groundbreaking resource combines detailed case studies of a wide array of risks to health, safety, environment and security; a broad quantitative analysis; and cross-cutting chapters on politics, law, and perceptions. The authors rebut the rhetoric of conflicting European and American approaches to risk, and show that the reality has been the selective application of precaution to particular risks on both sides of the Atlantic, as well as a constructive exchange of policy ideas toward 'better regulation.' The book offers a new view of precaution, regulatory reform, comparative analysis, and transatlantic relations.

Drawing on theoretical and empirical insights from art teachers in Canada and Europe, this edited volume explores the question of how learning in the arts can be effectively and fairly assessed in the context of higher education. The chapters consider a rich variety of assessment practices across music, visual and plastic arts, performing arts, design, fashion, dance and music and illustrate how knowledge, competencies, skills and progress can be viably and fairly assessed. Contextual challenges to assessment are also considered in depth, and particular attention is paid to the challenges of reconciling teaching in the arts, aimed at an intuitive transformation of the student, and assessing learning that takes on its meaning in subjectivity and sensitivity. This text will benefit researchers, academics and educators in higher education with an interest in assessment in the artistic disciplines and in the topic of creativity more broadly. Those specifically interested in educational assessment policy and the visual arts will also benefit from this book.
No one doubts any longer that sustainable development is a normative imperative. Yet there is unmistakably a great reluctance to acknowledge any legal basis upon which companies are obliged to forgo 'shareholder value' when such a policy clearly dilutes responsibility for company action in the face of continuing environmental degradation. Here is a book that boldly says: 'Shareholder primacy' is wrong. Such a narrow, short-term focus, the author shows, works against the achievement of the overarching societal goals of European law itself. The core role of EU company and securities law is to promote economic development, notably through the facilitation of market integration, while its contri...
