Paperback. Condition: New. The rule of law is sometimes expressed as 'no person is above the law'. A more comprehensive description of the concept has been elusive for generations of scholars, lawyers and judges. What does the phrase mean? More specifically, what does the rule of law mean in the context of 21st century issues and challenges?Professor Robert A Stein, Justice Richard J Goldstone and CEELI Institute Founder Homer Moyer are the distinguished editors and authors of the second edition of The Rule of Law in the 21st Century, published in association with the International Bar Association. Joining Stein, Goldstone and Moyer is an array of internationally distinguished leaders of the legal profession from North America, Europe, Africa and the Middle East to explore the meaning of the rule of law today in a variety of circumstances.The book examines the concept of the rule of law from a variety of perspectives, beginning with the basic principles and all-important definitional issue of what the term "rule of law" means, and includes fully updated chapters covering the independence of the judiciary and the internationalisation of the rule of law.The second edition also contains several new chapters, including:War crimes and genocide: ultimate violations of the rule of law;Addressing the problem of corruption that threatens the rule of law;The rule of law and inequality of women in the US judiciary;Thirty years of rule of law learning; andChapters describing law reform programmes that have strengthened the rule of law around the world in recent decades.The rule of law is humankind's best hope for freedom and justice. The second edition of The Rule of Law in the 21st Century gives us a better understanding of this important concept in the world today.…

Couverture souple. Condition: Comme neuf. 2ème Édition. Montagnac 2014. 1 Volume/1. -- ENGLISH TEXT -- As New - Softbound - Comme Neuf Broché collé. Format in-4° ( 30 x 21 cm ). -------- 378 pages avec 163 figures Hors-Texte.***************** "" Les pompes romaines ont été utilisées pour puiser l'eau des puits et, essentiellement, comme des pompes portatives pour la lutte contre le feu. Les premiers exemples sont en bronze, mais le type grec a été très astucieusement transformé à l'époque romaine, où les pompes, désormais plus faciles et moins chères à fabriquer comme à entretenir, sont taillées dans une section de tronc, avec des trous bouchés à leurs extrémités pour obtenir des volumes internes étanches à la pression. On en connaît 18 exemplaires, datés des IIe - IVe s. de n. ère, dont 13 sont conservés à ce jour. Pour rédiger cette monographie, l'auteur a travaillé sur les vestiges, la documentation des 18 exemplaires, ainsi que les sources antiques. Il décrit les découvertes, les sites, l'utilisation des pompes et leur datation, leur construction, dimensions, fonctionnement et performances. Il explique leur conception générale, les détails de chaque partie, le mécanisme fonctionnel et le cycle opératoire. Les pompes à eau représentent la seule machine romaine dont on puisse étudier des restes aussi importants, et constitue donc une source unique pour étudier la maîtrise romaine de l'ingénierie. Cet ouvrage, qui vient couronner une longue recherche, fera date dans l'histoire des techniques et de l'ingénierie.…
