The Limits of Criminal Law shines light from the outer edges of the criminal law in to better understand its core. From a framework of core principles, different borders are explored to test out where criminal law's normative or performative limits are, in particular, the borders of crime with tort, non-criminal enforcement, medical law, business regulation, administrative sanctions, counter-terrorism and intelligence law.The volume carefully juxtaposes and compares English and German law on each of these borders, drawing out underlying concepts and key comparative lessons. Each country offers insights beyond their own laws. This double perspective sharpens readers critical understanding of the criminal law, and at the same time produces insights that go beyond the perspective of one legal tradition.The book does not promote a single normative view of the limits of criminal law, but builds a detailed picture of the limits that exist now and why they exist now. This evidence-led approach is particularly important in an ever more interconnected world in which different perceptions of criminal law can lead to profound misunderstandings between countries. The Limits of Criminal Law builds picture of what shapes the criminal law, where those limits come from, and what might motivate legal systems to strain, ignore or strengthen those limits. Some of the most interesting insights come out of the comparison between German systematic approach and doctrinal limits with English laws focus on process and judgment on individual questions.

The contemporary theoretical physics consists, by and large, of two independent parts. The rst is the quantum theory describing the micro-world of elementary p- ticles, the second is the theory of gravity that concerns properties of macroscopic systems such as stars, galaxies, and the universe. The relativistic theory of gr- itation which is known as general relativity was created, at the beginning of the last century, by more or less a single man from pure idea combinations and bold guessing. The task was to "marry" the theory of gravity with the theory of special relativity. The rst attempts were aimed at considering the gravitational potential as a eld in Minkowski space-time. All those attempts failed; it took 10 years until Einstein nally solved the problem. The dif culty was that the old theory of gravity as well as the young theory of special relativity had to be modi ed. The next 50 years were dif cult for this theory because its experimental basis remained weak and its complicated mathematical structure was not well understood. However, in the subsequent period this theory ourished. Thanks to improvements in the te- nology and to the big progress in the methods of astronomical observations, the amount of observable facts to which general relativity is applicable was consid- ably enlarged. This is why general relativity is, today, one of the best experimentally tested theories while many competing theories could be disproved. Also the conc- tual and mathematical fundamentals are better understood now.

Many guitar players, famous and not so famous, began playing on Japanese electric guitars, yet the history of the people and factories that produced these instruments has remained largely ignored. For the first time in this illustrated history, author Frank Meyers will examine the Japanese electric guitars and factories that were active during the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, identifying the various people, companies, and guitars that contributed to the huge guitar boom of the 1960s. Includes hundreds of fantastic colour photographs, a chapter on 130 pickups, and a chapter on collecting vintage Japanese guitars. A must have for book collectors.

In dem Buch zur Geschichte der Sozialen Arbeit wird ausgefuhrt, wie Soziale Bewegungen die Entstehung und Profilierung der Profession, der Institutionen und Methoden Sozialer Arbeit beeinflusst haben. Von der Rettungshausbewegung uber die Sexual- und Lebensreformbewegung bis zur Frauenhaus- und Kinderladenbewegung wurden soziale Bewegungen daruber hinaus zum Motor der Weiterentwicklung, weil neue Notlagen identifiziert und schliesslich entsprechende Hilfen institutionalisiert bzw. tradierte Hilfeformen kritisiert und reformiert wurden.

Die Ziele des Therapeuten spielen eine wichtige Rolle im therapeutischen Prozess, da diese sich unmittelbar in seiner Strategie und seinem Vorgehen wahrend der Betreuung niederschlagen. Dieses Buch untersucht die Zusammenhange."

This novel documents the life of an American male from birth in the 1930's through Vietnam. It is a story of family and love as well as hatred and violence. Meyer's juvenile, Me and Caleb, won the 1962 Follett Award.

Was in Griechenland wahrend des 2. Weltkrieges geschah, ist in Deutschland und Osterreich bislang kaum bekannt. In dem hier vorgelegten Werk wird erstmals der Weg der 717. Infanterie-Division bzw. 117. Jager-Division von ihrer Aufstellung 1941 bis zu ihrem Ende 1945 verfolgt und dabei in den gesamten Kriegsverlauf auf der Peloponnes eingebunden; eingehend behandelt wird auch die Rolle der Briten, Italiener, der Partisanenverbande und der sog. Sicherheitsbataillone. Zentrales Thema der umfangreichen Recherchen auf der Grundlage bisher unveroffentlichter Dokumente aus etwa zwanzig Archiven, der Auswertung von Ermittlungsverfahren und Prozessakten, personlichen Aufzeichnungen, Tagebuchern und uber 50 Interviews mit Zeitzeugen sind die "Suhnemassnahmen" und das damit verbundene Massaker an Zivilisten im Rahmen des "Unternehmen Kalawrita." Von diesem wohl grossten Kriegsverbrechen, welches von der Wehrmacht ausserhalb des slawischen Raumes im 2. Weltkrieg begangen wurde, zeichnet der Autor ein erschreckendes Bild. Er rekonstruiert minutios die historischen Vorgange, zeichnet die Lebenslaufe der damaligen Tater und Opfer genauestens nach, entlarvt Legenden und korrigiert Daten und Zahlen, wobei er sich besonders darum bemuht hat, die tatsachliche Anzahl der Opfer zu belegen. Die Darstellung schliesst den Nurnberger Sudostgeneralsprozess und das Versagen der deutschen Nachkriegsjustiz gegenuber den Verantwortlichen ebenso ein wie die aktuelle Diskussion um Kriegsentschadigung.Der reich bebilderte Band enthalt ca. 240 grosstenteils unpublizierte Photos und Dokumente.H.F. Meyer (*1940) hat sich mehrfach intensiv mit der Geschichte der deutschen Besatzung in Griechenland auseinandergesetzt, neben mehreren Studien in der Zeitschrift THETIS stammen aus seiner Feder die Monographien Vermisst in Griechenland (1992) und Kommeno. Erzahlende Rekonstruktion eines Wehrmachtsverbrechens in Griechenland (Koln: Romiosini, 1999).Bundesprasident Rau in einem Brief vom 27. April 2003 an den Verfasser: "Ich finde es beeindruckend, mit welcher Sorgfalt Sie die Ereignisse im Umfeld des Massakers von Kalavryta und das Verbrechen in Kalavryta vom 13. Dezember 1943 recherchiert haben. Ihre detaillierte Dokumentation uber die damaligen Geschehnisse tragt auch dazu bei, dem Lesepublikum, Studenten und anderen Interessierten, die Moglichkeit zu eroffnen, sich auf der Grundlage von moglichst umfassenden Fakten mit den damaligen Geschehnissen und Verbrechen auseinander zu setzen. Das ist auch deshalb ganz besonders verdienstvoll, weil Zeitzeugen und Hinterbliebene nicht fur unbegrenzte Zeit durch ihr Zeugnis die Erinnerung an die Ereignisse von damals wach halten konnen.Die Kenntnis der Vergangenheit ist aber wichtig, um die Zukunft zu gestalten. Ich denke, dass Ihr Buch daher auch einen Beitrag fur die weitere Entwicklung der deutsch-griechischen Beziehungen leisten kan

Klug, bisweilen zynisch, manchmal schmerzhaft, aber immer sehr komisch Meyers Money-Fest ist ein echtes Lesevergnugen! Herrlich politisch unkorrekt befasst sich der bekannte n-tv-Journalist Frank Meyer in seinem Buch pointiert, unterhaltsam und sehr personlich mit dem "lieben Geld". Lesen Sie zum Beispiel von * Sprengsatzen im Portemonnaie, * Plansinn und Wahnsinn an den Finanzmarkten, *"gezyperten" Konten, * Absurdistan und dem Marchen der Gebruder Bank, * dem Efft-Efft-Spray gegen Verschworer aus der dunklen Welt der Wirtschaft und Borse, * von Klimbim, Klabauter und Klamauk vermeintlich richtiger, medial gestreuter Informationen. Auf humorvolle und satirische Weise erklart Ihnen Frank Meyer in Kolumnenform das angeblich hochkomplexe Thema Geld verstandlich und einfach. Wenn Sie jetzt denken, sich mit Geld zu beschaftigen sei langweilig, lastig und fuhrt zu nichts, da es uns sowieso taglich zwischen den Handen zerrinnt Meyers Money-Fest beweist Ihnen das Gegenteil. So ein Finanzbuch haben Sie noch nie gelesen!
