ENG: The internet and digital technologies have generated a flood of texts and widespread worries about information overload. But this phenomenon is not unique to our age. Already centuries ago scholars complained about an overabundance of books, especially in the wake of the invention of printing in mid-15th century Europe. Blair studies the remedies that the learned devised to cope with that explosion of texts, notably by making summaries and excerpts which could be sorted and accessed in reference books. First she traces methods of information management back to antiquity and the middle ages and across cultures with long textual traditions such the Islamic and Chinese worlds. Then she focuses on the tools and practices in use in early modern Europe, such as note-taking, alphabetical indexing, thematic diagramming, and large scale compiling. The result combines intellectual history with book history to emphasize long continuities between past and present.RUS: Интернет и цифровые технологии порождают необозримый поток текстов, что вызывает особенного типа тревожность - по поводу информационной перегрузки. Но это явление не является уникальным для нашей эпохи. Уже столетия назад ? и особенно после изобретения книгопечатания в Европе в середине XV века ? ученые жаловались

The interest, awareness and importance of human rights has continued to dominate public discourse. This is partly because human rights help us to recognise and respect our shared rights and responsibilities so that we may be able to co-exist while upholding the values and principles of democracy. This voluminous contribution provides a systematic and comprehensive reflection on the state of human rights in Southern Africa. The main aim is to deepen the understanding of human rights from both theoretical and practical perspectives. Contributors analyse how human rights are not only promoted and protected from possible violations, but also abused with reference to divergent contexts in Southern African. The wide-ranging themes, perspectives and theoretical frameworks in this work provides for a deeper and boarder understanding of human rights in the region.

So-so is a compilation of writings that cross genres through prose, poetry, and short stories. The author intends to weave both classical thematic elements, literary devices, and influences from classical and modern writers to form a style that leaves you feeling a hallucinatory experience that reverberates within the bounds of the collection. This compilation includes writings from 2011 to 2023 from which nearly half of the writings between 2011 and 2018 were not included and are no longer with us. It is a deeply personal beacon for those interested in a deconstruction of literary composition.

This book is an alternative to the full-class workshop approach to poetry writing instruction. In the five canon approach, peer critique of student poems takes place in online environments, freeing up class time for writing exercises and lessons based on the five canons of classical rhetoric: invention, arrangement, style, memory, and delivery.

Classic essays setting out different theoretical positions and providing examples of close readings of literature are preceded by new introductions that describe the theory in question and discuss its main currents. Among the twelve theories treated are structuralism, feminism, Marxism, post colonialism, and gay studies and queer theory.

O momento atual, caracterizado pela indefinição do constitucionalismo e do conceito de constituição nos contextos nacional, comparado e global, não pode desprezar as raízes do movimento constitucional. Alicerçado a partir do pensamento moderno, tumultuado nas revoluções liberais, e relativamente estabilizado a partir do Congresso de Viena, o constitucionalismo oitocentista viu nascer uma específica arquitetura institucional informada por dimensões materiais, cuja influência se mantém.A obra visa, pois, analisar as coordenadas que baseiam os diversos modelos constitucionais e delinear os respetivos fundamentos.

This book is a collection of articles that the author has pondered for a long time on the legal theory and practice of China's civil law. It mainly discusses the systematic, scientific and practical issues of Chinese civil law.

This book restores to view a masterpiece of beauty and legal scholarship, which has been lost for almost two hundred years. Produced anonymously in 1838, The Tree of Legal Knowledge is an elaborate visualization in five large colored plates of the law as stated in Sir William Blackstone¿s Commentaries on the Laws of England. Intended as ¿an assistant for students in the study of law,¿ the study aid was not a simple diagram but a beautiful tree with each branch and twig labeled with legal terms and concepts from the Commentaries. Not for law students only, the original was also intended to be of use to the practicing attorney and educated gentleman ¿in consolidating his learning and forming an instructive and ornamental appendage to an office.¿Although Blackstone¿s Commentaries had been first published eighty years earlier, it remained the primary source for knowledge of English law and required reading for American law students. The Commentaries remain relevant today and are frequently cited by the U.S. Supreme Court as a source for the original understanding of legal rights and obligations at the time of American Independence. Despite its artistic beauty and academic significance, The Tree of Legal Knowledge had seemingly disappeared shortly after its publication. It is not included in the collection of any library, including the Library of Congress or in Yale University¿s Blackstone Collection, the largest in the world. It is not listed in the comprehensive Bibliographical Catalog of William Blackstone, edited by Ann Jordan Laeuchli, published for the Yale Law Library in 2015. The present volume reproduces the only extant copy of The Tree of Legal Knowledge. It includes an introduction by the editor that places The Tree in historical context and identifies the anonymous author, an otherwise unknown lawyer. In addition, it reprints the original author¿s introduction and ¿explanation of the branches,¿ both extensively annotated. This book restores this lost masterpiece to its proper place in legal history. The Tree is a beautiful¿and accurate¿depiction of English law as expounded in Blackstone¿s Commentaries, the single most important book in the history of the common law.

This book discusses the most recent developments in the WTO regime. Issues such as E-commerce, security exception clause, China's compliance with the WTO obligations, sustainability development, IP protection in FTZs, trade controls and etc., are at the forefront of WTO studies.

Meanwhile, as the world's second largest economy, the world's largest trading nation and the holder of the world's largest foreign exchange reserves, China is apparently a powerful figure in leading these issues. Therefore, this book explores extensively these issues from a Chinese perspective to see what China could do to reboost the world trade.
