The International Society of Family Law is an independent,
international, and non-political scholarly association dedicated to
the study, research and discussion of family law and related
disciplines. The Society's membership currently includes
professors, lecturers, scholars, teachers, and researchers from
more than 50 different countries, offering a unique opportunity for
networking within a truly international family law community. The
International Survey of Family Law is the annual review of the
International Society of Family Law. It brings together reliable
and clearly structured insights into the latest and most notable
developments in family law from all around the globe. Chapters are
prepared by an international team of selected experts in the field,
usually covering 20 or more jurisdictions in each edition. Despite
the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 edition of the Survey traces
developments from around the world, brought about through
international, national and local bodies. The chapters analyse
civil and common law systems, as well as decisions of the United
Nations and the European Union courts. Some chapters focus on the
beginnings of families, including marriage, adoption and assisted
reproduction, while others deal with their dissolution or the
effects (and after effects) of aging. Once again, our authors
include emerging scholars as well as highly regarded academics,
judges and practitioners.
Economists have studied numerous fields of law for many years, but
family law was virtually neglected until the early 1970s. It was
only relatively recently that economic insights about the family
crept into the consciousness of those involved in legal research.
The articles within this book explore a range of family law issues
and include discussions on a variety of topics including
cohabitation, births outside marriage, courtship, premarital
contracting, marriage and parenting. The volume includes papers on
the division of responsibilities between family and state, the
effects of no-fault divorce, alimony, property division and child
custody. There are also works on intergenerational transfers and
the elderly. The collection contains articles written by leading
authorities in the field and provides a stimulating exploration of
the subject of family law and economics. The book will be
accessible to a wide audience, including students of law and
economics, as well as both academic and practising lawyers. The
questions posed in this volume are worthy of consideration by the
next generation of academics.

This monograph focuses on modern femtosecond laser microscopes for
two photon imaging and nanoprocessing, on laser tweezers for cell
micromanipulation as well as on fluorescence lifetime imaging
(FLIM) in Life Sciences. The book starts with an introduction by
Dr. Wolfgang Kaiser, pioneer of nonlinear optics and ends with the
chapter on clinical multiphoton tomography, the novel high
resolution imaging technique. It includes a foreword by the
nonlinear microscopy expert Dr. Colin Sheppard. Contents Part I:
Basics Brief history of fluorescence lifetime imaging The long
journey to the laser and its use for nonlinear optics Advanced
TCSPC-FLIM techniques Ultrafast lasers in biophotonics Part II:
Modern nonlinear microscopy of live cells STED microscopy:
exploring fluorescence lifetime gradients for super-resolution at
reduced illumination intensities Principles and applications of
temporal-focusing wide-field two-photon microscopy FLIM-FRET

In the past two decades in the United States, more than 1,600
Catholic elementary and secondary schools have closed, and more
than 4,500 charter schools public schools that are often privately
operated and freed from certain regulations have opened, many in
urban areas. With a particular emphasis on Catholic school
closures, Lost Classroom, Lost Community examines the implications
of these dramatic shifts in the urban educational landscape. More
than just educational institutions, Catholic schools promote the
development of social capital the social networks and mutual trust
that form the foundation of safe and cohesive communities. Drawing
on data from the Project on Human Development in Chicago
Neighborhoods and crime reports collected at the police beat or
census tract level in Chicago, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles,
Margaret F. Brinig and Nicole Stelle Garnett demonstrate that the
loss of Catholic schools triggers disorder, crime, and an overall
decline in community cohesiveness, and suggest that new charter
schools fail to fill the gaps left behind. This book shows that the
closing of Catholic schools harms the very communities they were
created to bring together and serve, and it will have vital
implications for both education and policing policy debates.
This is the first systematic book-length account of the law and
economics of the family. It explores the implications of economics
for family law -- divorce, adoption, breach of promise, surrogacy,
prenuptial agreements, custody arrangements -- and its limitations.
Before a family forms, prospective partners engage in a kind of
market activity that involves searching and bargaining, for which
the economic analysis of contract law provides useful insights.
Once a couple marries, the individuals become a family and their
decisions have important consequences for other parties, especially
children. As a result, the state and community have vital interests
in the family.
Although it may be rational to breach a contract, pay damages,
and recontract when a better deal comes along, this practice, if
applied to family relationships, would make family life impossible
-- as would the regular totting up of balances between the
partners. So the book introduces the idea of covenant to consider
the role of love, trust, and fidelity, concepts about which
economic analysis and contract law have little to offer, but
feminist thought has a great deal to add. Although families do
break up, children of divorce are still bound to their parents and
to each other in powerful ways.
