Using the case of food labelling, this book demonstrates that the
line between fair and potentially misleading communication can be
approached in empirical terms, supplementing the predominantly
political and legal deliberations that determine how society deals
with these issues. By first critically reviewing the legal
conception of misleading commercial practices manifest in EU law,
the authors discuss whether and how it can be transposed into
empirically measurable terms. Presenting four complementary
experimental studies targeting recurrent grey-zone scenarios on the
Danish food market, the book illustrates the potential of the
so-called ShopTrip test paradigm which simulates and registers
real-life e-shopping behaviour as it unfolds while yielding new
types of data against which opposing assessments of potential
misleadingness can be matched. The results are discussed in the
light of possible paths of theoretical explanation and implications
for future regulative practices, including companies'
self-regulation.
At six feet, four inches and more than 220 pounds, Roger Clemens
(1962- ) was a major figure in baseball for nearly a quarter
century. The best pitcher of his generation, his 4,672 strikeouts
rank third all-time. He dominates modern statistical analysis:
all-time first in base-out runs saved, situational wins saved, win
probability added and base-out wins saved. High strung and
temperamental, Clemens got into a barroom brawl during his first
semester at University of Texas and once was jailed for punching
out a Houston police officer. He endured sports writers heckling
his inarticulate English and hostile fans decrying his aggressive
pitching style. He retired in 2007 amid the infamous Mitchell
Report doping scandal. Questioned by a Congressional committee
about his alleged use of steroids, Clemens was accused of perjury
but later acquitted. This book covers his life and his sensational
but controversial career.
Die Walpurgisnacht, die Nacht vom 30. April auf den 1. Mai, ist
nach volkstumlicher Vorstellung das einschlagige Datum fur die
Zusammenkunft von Geistern und Hexen. Wahrend der Hexenverfolgungen
galt die Teilnahme am vermeintlichen Hexenkonvent als wichtiges
Indiz fur das Crimen magiae, das Zaubereiverbrechen. Doch daruber
hinaus wurde die Walpurgisnacht mit der Zeit ein verbreitetes
kulturelles Thema. Literarisch bekannt geworden ist sie vor allem
durch Goethes Faust-Dichtung. Die Studie erschliesst in der
deutschsprachigen Dichtung von der Fruhen Neuzeit bis zur Gegenwart
die Stoff- und Motivgeschichte der Walpurgisnacht und der sich
zumeist in dieser Nacht ereignenden Geister- und Hexenversammlung.
