Over the past 20 years, cognitive neuroscience has revolutionized our ability to understand the nature of human thought. Working with the understandings of traditional psychology, the new brain science is transforming many disciplines, from economics to literary theory. These developments are now affecting the law and there is an upsurge of interest in the potential of neuroscience to contribute to our understanding of criminal and civil law and our system of justice in general. The international and interdisciplinary chapters in this volume are written by experts in criminal behaviour, civil law and jurisprudence. They concentrate on the potential of neuroscience to increase our understanding of blame and responsibility in such areas as juveniles and the death penalty, evidence and procedure, neurological enhancement and treatment, property, end-of-life choices, contracting and the effects of words and pictures in law. This collection suggests that legal scholarship and practice will be increasingly enriched by an interdisciplinary study of law, mind and brain and is a valuable addition to the emerging field of neurolaw.
Miller's Marine War Risks is the only book devoted to drawing together and analysing the insurance of commercial shipping against war risks.It merges analysis of the legal principles, case law, and legislation with the practice of the insurance market in order to provide commentary on difficult questions concerning liabilities, claims, and coverage.With global events becoming more uncertain in the Gulf and elsewhere, the updating of Michael Miller’s classic text will be of great use to legal practitioners, the insurance market, and the shipping industry throughout the world.

First published in 1997, this volume responds to the Conservative intention of conducting economic policy along monetarist lines after winning the General Election in May 1979. Michael J. Oliver argues that the monetarist strategy was rejected for several reasons during the 1980s, including the recession of the early 1980s, the change in attitude to the role of the exchange rate and disagreements between politicians and policy-makers. It is shown that the disputes between Chancellor Nigel Lawson, Lady Thatcher and her economic adviser, Sir Alan Walters, are central to explaining why macroeconomic policy-making evolved considerably from the mid-1980s.This book is the first attempt by an economic historian to apply a social learning model to the post-1979 period. By adopting an inter-disciplinary approach, Oliver has made both an accessible addition to the debate on the conduct of economic policy since 1979 and a major contribution to the growing interest in social learning amongst social scientists.

THE GIFT OF A LIFETIME PRESENTED VERSE BY VERSEThe discovery of a commentary written (but never published) by Dr. Roy Beaman Th.D., longtime seminary professor and New Testament scholar, brings his unique biblical insights to light. Roy Beaman combined the talents of a linguist, a New Testament scholar, and a biblical archaeologist. His commentary on the Gospel of John was developed for almost four decades and taught repeatedly in churches and in seminary classrooms. Though the manuscript was never published, printed copies were distributed through the years. Beaman's Commentary on the Gospel of John is the compilation of two of those manuscripts.Edited and revised by Michael R. Spradlin, Ph.D., President Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary, this 308-page commentary on the Gospel of John will serve the scholar seeking deeper information and the believer seeking devotional insights.A TREASURE OF INSIGHTS ON THE GOSPEL OF JOHN ABOUT THE EDITOR: Michael R. Spradlin, Ph.D., is the author of Sons of the 43rd and numerous articles on church history, missions, and evangelism. He has served for many years as the president of Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary and is a member of Mid-America's church history faculty. He has lectured extensively throughout the United States and around the world.ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Roy O. Beaman, Th.D., (1904-1996), preached and taught in a career that spanned sixty years of ministry and theological education. He was a gifted linguist, Bible scholar, and theologian who shared his love of the scriptures and his love for the Lord Jesus with all who met him. He combined a gracious spirit with rock-solid biblical convictions that influenced several generations of pastors and theologians.ABOUT THE PUBLISHER: Innovo Publishing is a Christian publisher located in Collierville, TN.

Dynamic components and adaptive elements are becoming increasingly important in contemporary architecture, and not just because of their visual effect. If architects and engineers are engaging more and more with the issue of movement – whether in the form of sun-tracking solar cells, lowerable walls, or intelligently programmed elevators – it’s because they are busy exploring responses to three challenges: How can we control and reduce the energy requirement of buildings? How can we expand the range of possible uses? And how can we represent, illustrate, accommodate, and control dynamic movements in buildings? Designers and builders who seek to use kinetic components face technical and design challenges that aren’t covered by traditional structural theory. For these users, this book presents the technical tools and constructional solutions that will allow them to implement these movements concretely and deploy them functionally within the domains of of "Energy," "Change of Use," and "Interaction." First it lays out the fundamentals and design principles of kinetics in architecture, technology, art, and nature in a structured manner. In a third section, forty movable elements are shown in action, each on a double page – with specially prepared phase drawings and organized by type of movement, including rotation, sliding, folding, and transformation. The international examples from noted architects range from window mechanisms to solar protection and light redirection systems, movable walls and roofs, and movable civil engineering structures.
Dass dynamische Bauteile und adaptive Bauelemente in der aktuellen Architektur an Bedeutung gewinnen, geschieht nicht nur des visuellen Effekts wegen. Wenn Architekten und Ingenieure sich immer mehr mit dem Thema Bewegung – sei es beispielsweise als nachgeführte Solarzelle, als versenkbare Wand oder als intelligent programmierter Aufzug - auseinandersetzen, dann erkunden sie Lösungen für drei Herausforderungen: Wie können wir den Energiebedarf von Gebäuden kontrollieren und reduzieren? Wie können wir die Nutzungsmöglicheiten erweitern? Und wir können wir dynamische Bewegungen in Gebäuden abbilden, aufnehmen und lenken? Entwerfer und Konstrukteure finden sich durch kinetische Bauteile vor neue technische und gestalterische Herausforderungen gestellt, die in der traditionellen Baukonstruktionslehre nicht behandelt werden. Für diese Anwender zeigt das Buch, mit welchen technischen Mitteln und konstruktiven Lösungen die Bewegungen konkret umgesetzt und in den Bereichen „Energie" , „Nutzungsänderung" und „Interaktion" funktional eingesetzt werden können. Zuvor werden die Grundlagen und Gestaltungsprinzipien der Kinetik in Architektur, Technik, Kunst und Natur strukturiert aufbereitet. In einem dritten Teil werden auf jeweils einer Doppelseite vierzig bewegliche Bauelemente an ausgeführten Bauten in Aktion gezeigt – mit eigens erstellten Phasenzeichnungen und gegliedert nach Bewegungstypen wie Drehen, Schieben, Falten und Verformen. Die internationalen Beispiele namhafter Architekten reichen von Fenstermechanismen über Sonnenschutz- und Lichtlenkungssysteme und bewegliche Wände und Dächer bis hin zu beweglichen Ingenieurbauwerken.
