Surviving The Deadly Upheaval

A historical novel based on true stories of many people having endured the great forgotten expulsion

By: Ingeborg Maria Albert

This gripping post-World War 2 story takes place in Czechoslovakia after Germany’s surrender in May 1945. One family’s unyielding endurance and determination tells, in uncompromising detail, of the reality and aftermath of government-sanctioned brutality and expulsion of German Czechs. Revenge and violent hatred lead to the confiscation of citizenship, property, basic human rights, and, ultimately, ethnic cleansing. A culture of dehumanization takes root, and Hans and Mattie Novak, with their four children, travel the well-worn path of history. Follow their life throughout the ten years it takes before they grasp one last chance, leave their beloved homeland, and board a US Navy transport ship carrying them and hundreds of other immigrants to the promise of freedom in America. After hardships inconceivable to those who have lived outside the fields of war, they remain unbroken and exemplify hope and selfless love. The book is a celebration of heroes at all ages and the story is built on historical fact and true experiences.

Drug Policy and the Public Good

By: Thomas Babor,Jonathan Caulkins,Benedikt Fischer,David Foxcroft,Keith Humphreys,María Elena Medina-Mora,Isidore Obot,Jürgen Rehm,Peter Reuter,Robin Room,Ingeborg Rossow,John Strang

Illegal psychoactive substances and illicit prescription drugs are currently used on a daily basis all over the world. Affecting public health and social welfare, illicit drug use is linked to disease, disability, and social problems. Faced with an increase in usage, national and global policymakers are turning to addiction science for guidance on how to create evidence-based drug policy. Drug Policy and the Public Good is an objective analytical basis on which to build global drug policies. It presents the accumulated scientific knowledge on drug use in relation to policy development on a national and international level. By also revealing new epidemiological data on the global dimensions of drug misuse, it questions existing regulations and highlights the growing need for evidence-based, realistic, and coordinated drug policy. A critical review of cumulative scientific evidence, Drug Policy and the Public Good discusses four areas of drug policy; primary prevention programs in schools and other settings; supply reduction programs, including legal enforcement and drug interdiction; treatment interventions and harm reduction approaches; and control of the legal market through prescription drug regimes. In addition, it analyses the current state of global drug policy, and advocates improvements in the drafting of public health policy. Drug Policy and the Public Good is a global source of information and inspiration for policymakers involved in public health and social welfare. Presenting new research on illicit and prescription drug use, it is also an essential tool for academics, and a significant contribution to the translation of addiction research into effective drug policy.

Global Sales and Contract Law

By: Ingeborg Schwenzer,Pascal Hachem,Christopher Kee

Although the 1980 United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is one of the most successful international conventions to date, it remains the case that those involved in the international sale of goods must refer to a multitude of laws. Indeed the CISG itself does not cover all issues relating to international sales contracts, so it must necessarily be supplemented by domestic law. Global Sales and Contract Law provides a truly comparative analysis of domestic laws in over sixty countries so as to deliver a global view of domestic and international sales law. The book reports on the real practice of sales law, taking into account present day problems. Complex questions on the obligations under a sales contract, the ways in which these are established, as well as the remedies following the breach of obligations, are all discussed. By addressing regional uniform projects, like OHADA, and comparing differences in domestic legal approach where the CISG would not apply, the work goes beyond existing commentaries which tend to focus only on the CISG. The analysis has been based on an unprecedented survey drawn from the world's top fifty companies as well as international traders, lawyers advising international traders, arbitral institutions, arbitrators, and law schools. This work encompasses all aspects of a sale of goods transaction and takes a wide view of sale by including general contract law. The book gives practitioners invaluable insight into judicial trends and possible solutions in different legal systems, whether preparing for litigation or drafting an international contract. Global Sales and Contract Law is the most comprehensive and thorough compilation of legal analysis in the field of the sale of goods and is a reliable source for any practitioner dealing in international commerce.
