Fresh water resources are at the same time ecological, economic, social, and cultural goods and must be managed accordingly. However, efforts to manage these resources are complicated by tensions arising from possible clashes between the regimes favouring privatization, trade and investment liberalization, and domestic and international regimes governing water resources, environmental protection and human rights. The relationships between the international economic and legal framework on the one hand and fresh water resource management and protection on the other, are complex and multifaceted. This book addresses the key interdisciplinary issues that increasingly confront policy makers, tribunals, arbitration bodies and other institutions. It focuses primarily on law, but also includes perspectives from economics, political science and other disciplines. It examines such questions as are governments free to decide whether or not to export water resources? Can foreign investors sue host states for adopting measures to control water pollution? Can international trade rules be used to reduce or eliminate water related subsidies? Do rules on the liberalization of water services affect domestic and international human rights obligations relating to water supply? More generally, how do the procedural rights of states, individuals, affected communities and investors affect decisions regarding the right to drinking water, the rights of investors to exploit water resources, and the rights of governments to protect their lakes, rivers and groundwater?

International trade rules have significant impacts on environmental law and policy, at the domestic, regional and global levels. At the World Trade Organization (WTO), dispute settlement tribunals are increasingly called to decide on environment- and health-related questions. Can governments treat products differently based on environmental considerations? Can they block the import of highly carcinogenic asbestos-containing products or genetically modified crops? Does the WTO allow governments to protect dolphins or endangered sea turtles through the use of import restrictions on certain products? How can civil society participate in WTO dispute settlement? This Guide, authored by five world leaders on international environmental and trade law at the Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL), is an accessible, comprehensive, one-of-a-kind compendium of environment and trade jurisprudence under the WTO. Providing an overview for both experts and non-experts of the major themes relevant to environment and trade, it also analyses how WTO tribunals have approached these themes in concrete disputes and provides selected excerpts of the most significant cases.

The ultimate "consumer" of the data presented at conferences on the primary treatment of operable breast cancer is the patient, and when, as in this disease, the benefits of therapy are relatively mod est, the availability and interpretation of the data from trials be comes an issue of primary importance. The effects of present treat ment are in fact such that more patients relapse despite therapy than are estimated to benefit from it. It is, therefore, extremely dif ficult for the physician to recommend unequivocally one particular adjuvant treatment modality for the vast population of women with breast cancer. The interpretation of results from clinical research-oriented pro grams is constantly applied, however, in the treatment of breast cancer patients outside of clinical trials. From presented or publish ed data, many physicians extrapolate indications for the use of a given treatment regimen for their patients, perceiving it as the "best available therapy. " It is essential that the "best available therapy" be selected individually for each patient. However, considering the modest effect of treatment upon outcome, it is imperative that those who provide the data - those who are involved in both pa tient care and clinical research - make it known that the best cur rent treatment for the population of breast cancer patients is avail able within the framework of clinical trials. In this way not only present-day patients but also future ones will derive the greatest benefit.

Der auf dem Gebiet der Sportmedizin und Sportwissenschaften weltweit als Autoritat anerkannte Autor prasentiert mit diesem Buch eine Gesamtdarstellung von Randgebieten der Sportmedizin, denen bislang wenig Beachtung geschenkt wurde. Die in der sportmedizinischen Literatur bisher vernachlassigten Themen beinhalten Probleme des Sports bei Strafgefangenen, bei Alkoholkranken, in Blindenheimen, Kind und Sport, sportorthopadische Probleme bei Schulern sowie Sport und Intelligenz. Die Moglichkeiten des Einsatzes von Sport zur Suchtpravention oder Suchttherapie werden ebenso diskutiert wie die Wechselwirkungen von Sport und Stress. Weitere Kapitel sind der oxy- metrischen Leistungsbeurteilung, den Grenzproblemen des Sports bei Diabetikern sowie den spezifischen Augen-, Ohren- und Genitalverletzungen im Sport oder auch der neuen Bedrohung durch die AIDS-Erkrankung gewidmet. Das Buch stellt somit eine Bereicherung der bisher erschienenen Fachliteratur dar und richtet sich an Sportarzte, Studenten, Sportlehrer, Trainer, Sportleiter, Verbandsfunktionare, Heimbetreuer und interessierte Sportler selbst.
