Focusing on trade and intellectual property policies and practices
between and within North America and Europe, this book addresses
gray marketing in North American and European trading blocs, U.S.
trade policy, and dramatic changes in Mexican law regarding
intellectual property.
In light of current negotiations concerning NAFTA and GATT, the
question of intellectual property and its impact on international
trade has taken on renewed urgency. The recognition and enforcement
of intellectual property rights in national jurisdictions can serve
to encourage international trade and economic growth or can create
barriers to free and open commercial exchange. In this timely
volume, Canadian, American, and Mexican scholars examine these
landmark agreements and reassess the effects of intellectual
property rights on international trade. Focusing on trade and
intellectual property policies and practices between and within
North America and Europe, they address several key issues,
including "gray marketing" in North American and European trading
blocs, U.S. trade policy concerning enforcement of intellectual
property rights, and dramatic changes in Mexican law regarding
intellectual property. The volume is essential for scholars working
in intellectual property rights, international trade, and the
global economy. Policymakers and anyone wishing to stay current
with world trade negotiations will also find this book useful.

In this profound ecological fable, a mysterious plague has
destroyed the vast majority of the human race. Isherwood Williams,
one of the few survivors, returns from a wilderness field trip to
discover that civilization has vanished during his absence.
Eventually he returns to San Francisco and encounters a female
survivor who becomes his wife. Around them and their children a
small community develops, living like their pioneer ancestors, but
rebuilding civilization is beyond their resources, and gradually
they return to a simpler way of life. A poignant novel about
finding a new normal after the upheaval of a global crisis.

In 1841 and 1842 small groups of emigrants tried to discover a
route to California passable by wagons. Without reliable maps or
guides, they pushed ahead, retreated, detoured, split up, and
regrouped, reaching their destination only at great cost of
property and life. But they had found a trail, or cleared one, and
by their mistakes had shown others how to take wagon trains across
half a continent.
By 1844 a great migration was in progress. Each successive party
learned from those who went before where to cross rivers and
mountains, when to rest, when to forge ahead, and how to find food
and water. Increased experience was translated into better wagon
designs, improved understanding of climate and terrain, and
better-supplied and -organized caravans.
George R. Stewart's "California Trail" describes the trail's
year-by-year changes as weather conditions, new exploration, and
the changing character of emigrants affected it. Successes and
disasters (like the Donner party's fate) are presented in nearly
personal detail. More than a history of the trail, this book tells
how to travel it, what it felt like, what was feared and hoped
for.
