Kritik Des Eigenkapitalersatzrechts: Zugleich Ein Beitrag Zur Staerkung Des Insolvenzrechtlichen Glaeubigerschutzes
ISBN: 9783631553831 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 2006 / 444 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Das Eigenkapitalersatzrecht ist ein weitgehend gefestigter und unangefochtener Teil des Kapitalgesellschaftsrechts. Sein Grundgedanke ist, dass eine Finanzierung in der Krise nicht in einer blossen Fremdkapitalzufuhrung bestehen darf und deshalb zu diesem Zeitpunkt gewahrte Gesellschafterdarlehen zwangsweise als Eigenkapital zu behandeln sind. Diese Arbeit zeigt, dass trotz der breiten Zustimmung in Rechtsprechung und Literatur eine uberzeugende Rechtfertigung des Eigenkapitalersatzrechts bisher nicht gelungen ist. Der durch das Eigenkapitalersatzrecht anvisierte Glaubigerschutz sollte daher...

Red Families v. Blue Families: Legal Polarization and the Creation of Culture
ISBN: 9780195372175 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Red Families v. Blue Families identifies a new family model geared for the post-industrial economy. Rooted in the urban middle class, the coasts and the "blue states" in the last three presidential elections, the Blue Family Paradigm emphasizes the importance of women's as well as men's workforce participation, egalitarian gender roles, and the delay of family formation until both parents are emotionally and financially ready. By contrast, the Red Family Paradigm--associated with the Bible Belt, the mountain west, and rural America--rejects these new family norms, viewing the change...

Happiness and Goodness: Philosophical Reflections on Living Well
ISBN: 9780231172417 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. How should we evaluate the success of each person's life? Countering the prevalent philosophical perspective on the subject, Steven M. Cahn and Christine Vitrano defend the view that our well-being is dependent not on particular activities, accomplishments, or awards but on finding personal satisfaction while treating others with due concern. The authors suggest that moral behavior is not necessary for happiness and does not ensure it. Yet they also argue that morality and happiness are needed for living well, and together suffice to achieve that goal. Cahn and Vitrano link their position...

Portraits of American Philosophy
ISBN: 9781442260030 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In Portraits of American Philosophy eight of America's leading philosophers offer autobiographical narratives, reminding us that the life of a scholar is both a personal struggle and an adventure in ideas. Selected from the prestigious John Dewey Lectures, these reminiscences provide personal perspectives on how a generation of scholars faced barriers built on prejudices of religion, race, gender, and sexual orientation, while being affected by the Civil Rights Movement, the Vietnam War, and feminism. Also explored are the major themes of post-World War II American philosophy, including the...

Die Investmentaktiengesellschaft Mit Veraenderlichem Kapital
ISBN: 9783631622940 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 2014 / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Die Geschichte der Investmentaktiengesellschaft mit veranderlichem Kapital ist im deutschen Recht noch jung. Gesellschaften dieses besonderen Typs der Aktiengesellschaft konnen erst seit 2004 gegrundet werden. Der Gesetzgeber stand dieser Rechtsform lange Zeit ablehnend gegenuber, da ihre Einfuhrung eine Abkehr von der strengen, auf dem System des festen Grundkapitals beruhenden Dogmatik des Aktienrechts erfordert. Diese Arbeit soll einen Beitrag zur Scharfung der Konturen der Investmentaktiengesellschaft mit veranderlichem Kapital leisten. Untersucht werden neben den aktienrechtlichen...

The New Kinship: Constructing Donor-Conceived Families
ISBN: 9780814772034 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. No federal law in the United States requires that egg or sperm donors or recipients exchange any information with the offspring that result from the donation. Donors typically enter into contracts with fertility clinics or sperm banks which promise them anonymity. The parents may know the donor's hair color, height, IQ, college, and profession; they may even have heard the donor's voice. But they don't know the donor's name, medical history, or other information that might play a key role in a child's development. And, until recently, donor-conceived offspring typically didn't know that one...

Questions about God: Today's Philosophers Ponder the Divine
ISBN: 9780195150377 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. From young children, with their guileless, searching questions, to the recently bereaved, trying to make sense of tragic loss, humans wrestle with our relationship to God--and with God's essence, motivations, and power--throughout our lives: Why does God permit catastrophe and senseless tragedy, again and again? Is God's power limited in any way? Can He change the past? Does He know the future? Why does God require prayer? Why does He not provide stronger evidence of His presence? Whom does God consign to hell, and why? Does God change? Suffer? What can we make of the conflicting diversity...

Political Animal
ISBN: 9781498261227 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Description: This book is a close examination of one of Shakespeare's most controversial characters: Prince Hal/Henry V. From his early tavern dalliances with Sir John Falstaff, to his assumption of the English throne, to his military successes and marriage, the analysis weighs his many disparate qualities, such as charm, aggression, wit, and faith, as well as his relationship to questions about power, religion, and morality that dominate Shakespeare's history plays. The study also links this complex figure to electoral issues and strategies of our own day. Endorsements: ""An elegant reading...
