This comprehensive Research Handbook examines the continuum between
private ordering and state regulation in the lex mercatoria. It
highlights constancy and change in this dynamic and evolving system
in order to offer an in-depth discussion of international
commercial contract law. International scholars, from a range of
jurisdictions and legal cultures across Africa, North America and
Europe, dissect a plethora of contract types, including sale,
insurance, shipping, credit, negotiable instruments and agency,
against the backdrop of key legal regimes commonly chosen in
international agreements. These include: the UN CISG, Unidroit
PICC, European DCFR and English law. The Research Handbook examines
key general principles in commercial contract law, such as
interpretation, good faith, remedies for breach and choice of law
clauses from an international perspective. It also engages with
various emerging aspects of internet contracting, including smart
contracts. Scholars and researchers working in the field of
contract law, and international commercial contracts more
specifically, will find this Research Handbook to be an
indispensable guide. Practitioners seeking clear guidance will also
benefit from its detailed coverage of specific research questions.
One of the hallmarks of the present era is the discourse
surrounding Human Rights and the need for the law to recognise
them. Various national and supranational human rights instruments
have been developed and implemented in order to transition society
away from atrocity and callousness toward a more just and inclusive
future. In some countries this is done by means of an overarching
constitution, while in others international conventions or ordinary
legislation hold sway. Contract law plays a pivotal role in this
context. According to many, this is done through the much-debated
'civilising mission' of the contract, a notion which itself
constitutes the canon of the Western liberal principle of
'civilised economy'. The movement away from the belief in the
absolute freedom of contract, which reached its zenith in the
nineteenth century, to the principles of fairness and justice that
underpin contract law today, is often deemed to be a testament to
this civilising influence. Delving into the interplay between human
rights policies, constitutional law, and contract law from both
theoretical and practical perspectives, this first volume of a
two-book collection offers a totally new reappraisal of the subject
by gathering a collection of essays written by contract law
scholars from Europe, South Africa, Canada, and Australia. Instead
of providing the reader with a sterile compilation of positivistic
norms and policies on the impact of fundamental rights and
constitutional law issues on contract law's development, the
authors build on their personal experience to analyse specific
topics related to contracting that include a constitutional
dimension. The book fills an important void in comparative law
scholarship and in so doing represents the starting point for
further debate on the subject.

This second volume on the constitutional dimension of contract law
explores this increasingly relevant subject in jurisdictions that
are usually overlooked by mainstream scholarship in the
English-speaking world. With chapters on Finland and other Nordic
Countries from a comparative perspective, Spain, Japan, Somalia,
Nigeria, Brazil, and Peru, the contributions presented here offer
much-needed, context-informed insights on whether - and if so, why,
how and to what extent - the development of contract law is being
influenced by constitutional values and fundamental rights issues
(or vice-versa). The book represents a valuable addition to
comparative law literature on the interplay between public (i.e.,
constitutional) and private (i.e., contract) law by revealing the
inner dynamics through which these two branches interact and (at
times) inform each other, whilst also enhancing our understanding
of the law's nature, function, and transformative potential at the
macro, meso, and micro levels.

Kidney failure represents a major health economic burden for all
people and all nations. Despite the immense number of factors which
can cause the initial injury to the kidneys, common response
pathways are triggered which, unless broken, will ultimately lead
to irreversible fibrosis within the kidneys. Unfortunately, early
injuries to the kidneys can frequently be asymptomatic and chronic
kidney disease has often developed before the patient has become
aware there is a problem. Once established, chronic kidney disease
is associated with a high morbidity and mortality for those
affected. There has been a large amount of work in recent years
focused on the early diagnosis and management of kidney disease to
prevent its progression. The purpose of this book is to review the
mechanisms which underlie both acute and chronic kidney injury,
discuss their diagnosis, complications and management. The first
section of this book covers the causes and complications of chronic
kidney disease. Initially we review the mechanisms which underlie
the progressive fibrosis by which chronic kidney disease
progresses. There are then detailed discussions of the
cardiovascular complications of chronic kidney disease. The second
section of the book focuses on established end stage renal disease.
Reviewing access to renal replacement therapies across ethnicities,
the role of home therapies and how their use can be increased and
finally we discuss the preparation and maintenance of access for
dialysis. The third and final section of the book provides an
update for the clinician into the diagnosis and management of acute
kidney injury. Specifically the diagnosis and management of renal
impairment in patients with plasma cell dyscrasias is reviewed and
the prevention of acute kidney injury in the critically ill patient
is discussed in detail.
