From Rage to Reason: Why We Need Sex Crime Laws Based on Facts, Not Fear
ISBN: 9781440879395 / Angielski / Twarda / 2023 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Analyzing sex-offense laws and false claims, this book shows that laws based on vengeance rather than justice or evidence create new forms of harm while failing to address the real and pervasive problem of sexual violence. In this timely and extensively researched book, sociologist Emily Horowitz shows how current sex-offense policies in the United States create new forms of harm and prevent those who have caused harm from the process of constructive repentance or contributing to society after punishment. Horowitz also illustrates the failure of criminal justice responses to social problems....

Letters of Credit and Demand Guarantees Defences to Payment
ISBN: 9780199588534 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book is the first to provide an extensive analysis of the range of defences to payment under letters of credit and demand guarantees.
It considers the extent to which different defences undermine the abstraction of these instruments. This is a fundamental issue, since letters of credit and demand guarantees are designed to be abstract, or autonomous, from the underlying contract that called for their use. The purpose of that abstraction is to provide certainty of payment, but the various defences diminish that certainty. The book examines the spectrum of defences that are frequently...

ISBN: 9780813554266 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. How do we know when physicians practice medicine safely?

Elie Wiesel and the Art of Storytelling
ISBN: 9780786428694 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 242 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Elie Wiesel is a master storyteller with the ability to use storytelling as a form of activism.

In this work, essays examine Wiesel's roots in Jewish storytelling traditions; influences from religious, folk, and secular sources; education; Yiddish background; Holocaust experience; and writing style. Emphasized throughout is Wiesel's use of multiple sources in an...
