Focusing on trade and intellectual property policies and practices
between and within North America and Europe, this book addresses
gray marketing in North American and European trading blocs, U.S.
trade policy, and dramatic changes in Mexican law regarding
intellectual property.
In light of current negotiations concerning NAFTA and GATT, the
question of intellectual property and its impact on international
trade has taken on renewed urgency. The recognition and enforcement
of intellectual property rights in national jurisdictions can serve
to encourage international trade and economic growth or can create
barriers to free and open commercial exchange. In this timely
volume, Canadian, American, and Mexican scholars examine these
landmark agreements and reassess the effects of intellectual
property rights on international trade. Focusing on trade and
intellectual property policies and practices between and within
North America and Europe, they address several key issues,
including "gray marketing" in North American and European trading
blocs, U.S. trade policy concerning enforcement of intellectual
property rights, and dramatic changes in Mexican law regarding
intellectual property. The volume is essential for scholars working
in intellectual property rights, international trade, and the
global economy. Policymakers and anyone wishing to stay current
with world trade negotiations will also find this book useful.

Attorney and legal scholar Daxton Stewart examines the intersection
of media law and science fiction, exploring the past, present, and
future of communication technology and policy debates. Science
fiction offers a vast array of possibilities anticipating future
communication technologies and their implications on human affairs.
In this book, Stewart looks at potential legal challenges presented
by plausible communication technologies that may arise 20 or 50 or
100 years from today. Performing what he calls "speculative legal
research," Stewart identifies the kinds of topics we should be
talking about relating to speech, privacy, surveillance, and more,
and considers the debates that would be likely to arise if such
technologies become a reality. Featuring interviews with prominent
science fiction authors and legal scholars, and a foreword by Malka
Older, this book considers the speculative solutions of science
fiction and their implications in law and policy scholarship.
Chapters feature specific literary examples to examine how cultural
awareness and policy creation are informed by fictional technology,
future societies, and legal disputes. Looking forward, beyond
traditional legal research and scholarship to the possible and even
very likely future of communication technology, this fascinating
work of speculative legal research will give students and scholars
of media law, science fiction, and technology much to discuss and
debate.

In this profound ecological fable, a mysterious plague has
destroyed the vast majority of the human race. Isherwood Williams,
one of the few survivors, returns from a wilderness field trip to
discover that civilization has vanished during his absence.
Eventually he returns to San Francisco and encounters a female
survivor who becomes his wife. Around them and their children a
small community develops, living like their pioneer ancestors, but
rebuilding civilization is beyond their resources, and gradually
they return to a simpler way of life. A poignant novel about
finding a new normal after the upheaval of a global crisis.
George R. Stewart's classic study of place-naming in the United
States was written during World War II as a tribute to the varied
heritage of the nation's peoples. More than half a century later,
"Names on the Land" remains the authoritative source on its
subject, while Stewart's intimate knowledge of America and love of
anecdote make his book a unique and delightful window on American
history and social life.
"Names on the Land" is a fascinating and fantastically detailed
panorama of language in action. Stewart opens with the first
European names in what would later be the United States--Ponce de
Leon's flowery Florida, Cortes's semi-mythical isle of California,
and the red Rio Colorado--before going on to explore New England,
New Amsterdam, and New Sweden, the French and the Russian legacies,
and the unlikely contributions of everybody from border ruffians to
Boston Brahmins. These lively pages examine where and why Indian
names were likely to be retained; nineteenth-century fads that gave
rise to dozens of Troys and Athens and to suburban Parksides,
Brookmonts, and Woodcrest Manors; and deep and enduring mysteries
such as why "Arkansas" is Arkansaw, except of course when it isn't.
"Names on the Land" will engage anyone who has ever wondered at the
curious names scattered across the American map. Stewart's answer
is always a story--one of the countless stories that lie behind the
rich and strange diversity of the USA.
Sustainable development is a process to improve the quality of life
of people, while maintaining the ability of social–ecological
systems to continue to provide valuable ecological services that
social systems require. In the Galapagos Islands, the maintenance
of amenity resources to support tourism and the quality of life of
residents is explicitly linked to ecosystem goods and services,
particularly, the accessibility to high-quality natural
environments and the terrestrial and marine visitation sites that
showcase iconic species. On June 26-30, 2022, the Galapagos Science
Center celebrated its 10-Year Anniversary. As the crowning event of
the anniversary celebration, the World Summit on Island
Sustainability was held on San Cristobal Island, Galapagos
Archipelago of Ecuador. The intent of the World Summit was to bring
together leading experts on island ecosystems and, particularly, on
island sustainability from across the globe to represent a
diversity of perspectives, approaches, and stakeholder groups. The
World Summit was an exclusive event that featured an “expert
convening” of scholars and practitioners to address the social,
terrestrial, and marine sub-systems of the Galapagos Islands and
other similarly challenged island ecosystems from around the globe.
The World Summit attracted 150 scientists to the Galapagos Islands
to discuss projects conducted, for instance, in the Galapagos
Islands, Hawaii, Guam, French Polynesia, Chile, Australia, and the
Caribbean Islands. Island vulnerability, resilience, and
sustainability were examined by scholars, for instance, from the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Universidad San
Francisco de Quito, Catholic University of Chile, University of
Guam, James Cook University, University of the Sunshine Coast,
North Carolina State University, North Carolina Museum of Natural
Sciences, California Academy of Sciences, University of San
Francisco, and the University of South Alabama as well as
affiliated scientists from Exeter University, University of
Edinburgh, University of Southampton, and the Galapagos National
Park. The World Summit also included scholars from Re:wild,
World Wildlife Fund, EarthEcho, and the East-West Center, Hawaii.
Peopled Leadership is a new dynamic model aimed at creating new
leaders and new futures. It is people centric and people oriented
with a focus on developing and empowering others, serving with
humility, and expressing gratitude. Peopled Leadership provides the
much-needed shift from accountability and outcomes focused driven
leadership behaviors to behaviors that focus on people, while
assuring accountability and organizational improvement. Peopled
Leadership is a model which orients a leader's focus on people and
their commitment to the people, organizations, communities, and
institutions they serve. This new model empowers others to lead, be
innovative, engage in collaboration, solve complex problems, and
further outcomes. The result of Peopled Leadership is the
transformation of people and the transformation of practices that
mitigate the complexities intrinsic to peopled organizations.
