Three years after its establishment the CEFL presents its first
Principles of European Family Law in the field of divorce and
maintenance between former spouses. The Principles aim to bestow
the most suitable means for the harmonisation of family laws in
Europe. In this respect they may serve as a frame of reference for
national, European and international legislatures alike. The
Principles could considerably facilitate their task not only by
virtue of the fact that the CEFL's in-depth and comprehensive
comparative research is easily accesible but also because most of
the rules have been drafted in a way legislatures normally consider
to be appropriate.
Beautifully illustrated with color photographs, this book showcases the very best of France's myriad delights us through its UNESCO World Heritage Sites, splendid castles, beautiful towns, great museums, and natural wonders.

Curated by French historian Franck Ferrand, who is deeply passionate about the culture and beauty of France, this book offers a broad and in-depth introduction to the nation's most fascinating locations, exploring all corners of country.
This project approaches four of E. L. Doctorow's novels-Welcome to
Hard Times (1960), The Book of Daniel (1971), Ragtime (1975), and
City of God (2000)-from the perspectives of feminist criticism and
trauma theory. The study springs from the assumption that
Doctorow's literary project is eminently ethical and has an
underlying social and political scope. This crops up through the
novels' overriding concern with injustice and their engagement with
the representation of human suffering in a variety of forms. The
book puts forward the claim that E.L. Doctorow's literary
project-through its representation of psychological trauma and its
attitude towards gender-may be understood as a call to action
against both each individual's indifference and the wider social
and political structures and ideologies that justify and/or
facilitate the injustices and oppression to which those who are
situated at the margins of contemporary US society are subjected.
Symbolism and Politics is a timely intervention into ongoing
debates around the function of political symbols in a historical
period characterized by volatile electoral behaviour, fragmented
societies in search of collective identifications, and increasingly
polarized political models. Symbols are central features of
organized human life, helping to define perception, shaping the way
we view the world and understand what goes on within it. But,
despite this key role in shaping understanding, there is never a
single interpretation of a symbol that everyone within the
community will accept, and the way in which symbols can mobilize
antagonistic political factions demonstrates that they are as much
a central element in power struggles as they are avenues to
facilitate processes of identification. This dual potential is the
object of discussion in the chapters of this book, which sheds new
light on our understanding of the political function of symbols in
a historical period. Symbolism and Politics will be of great
interest to scholars working on Political Symbols, Nationalism,
Regime Change and Political Transitions. The chapters originally
published as a special issue of Politics, Religion & Ideology.

Hugo Chavez won re-election in the 2012 Venezuelan presidential
election, despite a closer margin between candidates than in
previous elections. The results were puzzling for those who
believed that Chavez's government had long ago reached its limits,
while Chavez's supporters were struck by the growth of the
opposition vote. Thus understanding the Venezuelan election of 2012
has proved to be challenging, with various recent studies focused
upon it. Luis F. Angosto Ferrandez's book advances two ideas not
previously discussed: the relationship between electoral behavior
in Venezuela and contemporary Latin American geopolitics, and the
way that relationship is projected through the candidates' appeal
to narratives that situate Venezuela at the core of a heroic Latin
American tradition and of a new regional process of integration.
This edited volume first contextualizes and explains the results of
the last re-election of Hugo Chavez in terms of its geopolitical
conditionings and implications. Contributors tackle Latin American
geopolitics by analyzing Venezuelan foreign policy and the
country's role in continental projects of supra-national
integration. Contributors also examine electoral strategy and
tactics in order to show how the two main candidates built their
campaign on emotional grounds as much on rational ones. This will
be connected to the investigation of new narratives of national
identification in contemporary Venezuela and how they may have
practical implications in the design of policies addressing issues
such as indigenous rights, community media and national security.
Compiling state-of-the-art research on Latin American and
Venezuelan politics, this book will appeal to academics and
professionals who specialize in Latin American studies,
international relations, democracy, and indigenous peoples.
Cawdor, one of Scotland's most magnificent estates is the focus of
Highland Living . Reflecting both the rusticity of the locale and
the elegance of the castle's grounds and interiors, inspiration and
visual delights await as the door is opened to the castle's
gardens, kitchens and private apartments. Coupling impressive
antiques with cosy creature comforts, Angelika Cawdor has created a
charming decor of discerning Scottish style within this historic
house. Accompanied by exquisite colour photography, the book opens
with a history of Cawdor Castle, from its beginnings in the late
14th century and tales of Macbeth, to the present day in which the
estate spans 18,000 acres of forest, grazing land and wildlife
management, an exquisite kitchen garden, modern organic gardens, a
glorious cutting garden and, of course, the manor with its
attractive tapestries and furnishings. Cawdor tartans and Highland
colour tones add to the perspective of what life is like on a
working estate in Scotland and make this book a page-turner of
vibrant images, information and insight. A section on the recipes
of Cawdor Castle shows off Scottish culinary traditions-porridge,
salmon, and haggis, as well as modern recipes for other traditional
delights-partridge, roast rhubarb and apple crumble, and ginger
beer, to name a few. The book is completed by an address book of
the best places to visit, restaurants and lodges, and shopping for
everything from chocolates to organic vegetables. A sumptuous book
devoted to a special part of Inverness, Highland Living will be
cherished by anyone who adores the traditions of Scotland and
Scottish life.

The Olympic Games have become the definitive sports event, with an
unparalleled global reach and a remarkably diverse constituency of
stakeholders, from the IOC and International Federations to
athletes, sponsors and fans. It has been estimated, for example,
that 3.6 billion people (about half of the world population)
watched at least one minute of the Beijing Games in 2008 on
television. The driving force behind the rise of the modern
Olympics has been the Olympic marketing programme, which has acted
as a catalyst for cooperation between stakeholders and driven the
promotion, financial security and stability of the Olympic
movement. This book is the first to explain the principles of
Olympic marketing and to demonstrate how they can be applied
successfully in all other areas of sports marketing and management.
The book outlines a strategic and operational framework based on
three types of co-productive relationships (market, network and
informal) and explains how this framework can guide professional
marketing practice. Containing case studies, summaries, insight
boxes and examples of best practice in every chapter, this book is
important reading for all students and practitioners working in
sports marketing, sports management or Olympic studies.

The Politics of Identity in Latin American Censuses contributes new
and original perspectives to existing discussions about the shaping
of multiculturalist ideology in Latin America, its interweaving
with the cultural politics of neoliberalism and the relation
between ethnic identification resurgence and economic
globalization. Scrutinising national censuses across the continent,
the studies included in this volume reveal clear relationships
between censuses, nation-building and government projects, but also
strong and determinant connections between domestic and
supra-national spheres. The contributors to this volume open
provocative avenues of research on Latin American societies by
demonstrating how, in the realm of identity politics,
supra-national institutions and normativity socialise national
census bureaus in a way that largely annuls ideological differences
between regional governments. This book was originally published as
a special issue of the Journal of Iberian and Latin American
Research.

The Principles of European Family Law drafted by the Commission on
European Family Law (CEFL) contain models which may be used for the
harmonization of family law in Europe. This book contains the
Principles regarding Property Relations between Spouses. In these
Principles, the CEFL has developed an all-inclusive set of rules
for two matrimonial property regimes: the participiation in
acquisitions and the community of acquistions. Both regimes have
been put on an equal footing. Each matrimonial property regime,
whether it functions as a default or as an optional regime is
strongly connected with the rights and duties of the spouses and
the possibility for them to make a marital property agreement.
These issues have also been addressed by including two common
Chapters on the General Rights and Duties of Spouses and on Marital
Property Agreements which are to be applied regardless of which of
the regimes applies.
The Principles of European Family Law which are drafted by the CEFL
are aimed at contributing to the harmonisation of family law in
Europe. They may thus be used as a frame of reference. The first
set of Principles in the field of Divorce and Maintenance Between
Former Spouses was launched in 2004. This book contains the
Principles Regarding Parental Responsibilities. In these
Principles, the CEFL has developed a comprehensive and original set
of rules in the field of parental responsibilities based on respect
for the rights of the child, non-discrimination and, as far as
possible, self-determination. In their provisions on specific
issues the Principles opt for solutions which seem to be workable
and shall avoid unnecessary hardship and disputes.
This essential research work for Voltaire scholars reproduces
Voltaire's own annotations written in the margins of the books in
his library, now owned by the National Library of Russia at St
Petersburg.Volume 8 includes Voltaire's copious marginal notes on
Jean-Jacques Rousseau, which benefit here from extensive critical
annotation by Nathalie Ferrand, with the participation of Larissa
Albina. The material on Rousseau is complemented by reproductions
in an appendix of annotations by Voltaire on a second copy of
"Emile". Voltaire's readings of other important authors in this
volume include Charles Rollin, Jean-Baptiste Rousseau,
Saint-Evremond, Paolo Sarpi, Mlle de Scudery, Mlle de Sevigne,
Shakespeare and Richard Simon. Comprehensive editorial notes show
how Voltaire's reading of the books in his library influenced his
own writing, and the volume also contains an index of Voltaire's
works referred to in the editorial notes. The volume is further
enhanced by 26 reproductions of Voltaire's annotations.
Contributors: Larissa Albina, Nicholas Cronk, Natalia Elaguina,
Nathalie Ferrand, Gillian Pink, Kelsey Rubin-Detlev.
