Until now. The age of blogging has begun. The internet revolution has given us all a chance to be irreverent, blasphemous and ungrammatical in public. We can reveal...

The Impact of the European Convention on Human Rights on Russian Law: Legislation and Application in 1996-2006
ISBN: 9783898216395 / Angielski / Miękka / 162 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Norman Pearlstine takes us behind the scenes of one of the most controversial courtroom dramas of our time. When Pearlstine--as editor in chief of Time Inc.--agreed to give prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald a reporter's notes of a conversation with a "confidential source," he was vilified for betraying the freedom of the press. But Pearlstine shows that "Plamegate" was not the clear case it seemed to be. In his "vigorously written" inside story...
