Volume one of this set of two texts presents a detailed exposition of the relevant EC rules in contract law that are applicable throughout the European Union, regardless of the national law of the contract. No commentary has been added to the text, which should be regarded as an account of the present state of the law. The use of EC regulations and directives in private law is a relatively novel concept. A growing body of EC legislation has been adopted with a view to determining various contractual obligations which must be complied with. The book is divided into seven chapters, each covering a separate aspect of contractual relations. In each of these chapters, the content reflects as closely as possible the precise wording of the EC legislation, together with the precise wording of any relevant dicta of the European Court of Justice. The legislation relating to matters which are not strictly contractual, such as intellectual property, company law and taxation, have been excluded. Where legislation has been amended by subsequent treaties, regulations or directives, the amendments are incorporated in the text. The legislation in this volume is that which is available and published in the Official Journal of the European Communities as at 1 May 1997.

Yiddish, the language of Ashkenazic Jewry, arose some 900-1200 years ago as a result of contact with indigenous varieties of medieval German. Over the next few centuries, it grew to cover the second-largest language area in Europe, with Yiddish-speaking colonies being created in North and South America, Palestine/Israel, Australia and South Africa. It is estimated that just before the Nazi genocide in World War II, there were between 11 and 13 million Yiddish speakers worldwide. This broad yet comprehensive 2005 introduction provides an authoritative overview of all aspects of Yiddish language and linguistics. As well as looking at key features of its syntax, phonology and morphology, Neil Jacobs discusses its history, its dialectology, and the sociolinguistic issues surrounding it. Presenting linguistic data in a way that is compatible with general theoretical issues, it will be welcomed by scholars of general linguistics, Germanic linguistics, and Jewish Studies alike.

In this set of three essays, originally presented as the 2006 Hamlyn Lectures, Sir Francis Jacobs tries to address some basic questions. What is the function of law today? How has it developed so that it now seems sometimes the final arbiter on social, ethical and political questions? How does law relate to various values - how, for example, does it reflect social values, and how does it influence those values? With three main themes, each chapter looks at law in relation to a different set of values. The first might be termed constitutional values; the second, social or societal values; the third, law and economy, looking at different economic systems. In addressing these themes, the book will look 'horizontally' at different legal systems starting from law and the State, but will point to the need for, and the advantages and disadvantages of, a wider dimension in some areas.
