"Copyright law and contract language are complex, even for attorneys and experts. Authors may be tempted to sign the first version of a publication contract that they receive, especially if negotiating seems complicated, intimidating, or risky. But there is a lot at stake for authors in a book deal, and it is well worth the effort to read the contract, understand its contents, and negotiate for favorable terms. To that end, Understanding and Negotiating Book Publication Contracts identifies clauses that frequently appear in publishing contracts, explains in plain language what these terms (and typical variations) mean, and presents strategies for negotiating "author-friendly" versions of these clauses. When authors have more information about copyright and publication options for their works, they are better able to make and keep their works available in the ways they want"--Publisher.

The ongoing technological evolution has brought people closer together. They exchange goods in great numbers across the world - numbers which nobody could have imagined a decade ago. This development has moved comparative law right into the spotlight. The essays collected in this book intend to focus the readerś comparative view by looking at a few very interesting aspects of commercial law. Die fortschreitende technologische Entwicklung hat die Menschen einander näher gebracht. Sie tauschen heute Güter in einem Umfang aus, den man sich vor einem Jahrzehnt noch nicht vorstellen konnte. Aufgrund dieser Entwicklung steht die Rechtsvergleichung nun im Rampenlicht. Die im Buch gesammelten Essays haben das Ziel, den rechtsvergleichenden Blick des Lesers durch die Betrachtung einiger interessanter Aspekte des Wirtschaftsrechts zu schärfen.

Rousseau attacks the social and political effects of the dominant forms of scientific knowledge. Contains the entire First Discourse, contemporary attacks on it, Rousseau's replies to his critics, and his summary of the debate in his preface to Narcissus. A number of these texts have never before been available in English. The First Discourse and Polemics demonstrate the continued relevance of Rousseau's thought. Whereas his critics argue for correction of the excesses and corruptions of knowledge and the sciences as sufficient, Rousseau attacks the social and political effects of the dominant forms of scientific knowledge.
