Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Corporate governance has become an important issue in all
industrial economies. It relates to the internal organization and
power structure of the firm, the functioning of the board of
directors both in the one-tier and the two-tier system, the
ownership structure of the firm, and the interrelationships among
management, board, shareholders and possibly stakeholders, in
particular the workforce of the enterprise and the creditors. These
interrelationships include monitoring of the management by the
board and external supervisors, and shareholders activism. This
book has grown out of a conference entitled "Comparative Corporate
Governance, An International Conference, United States - Japan -
Western Europe" which was held in Brussels on 14 June 1995. It was
organized by the Financial Law Institute of the University of
Ghent, and the Study Centre on Groups of Enterprises in Brussels
under the scientific direction of Eddy Wymeersch. The book contains
the contributions by the speakers in an enlarged and updated form
together with source material and references. The editors have
collected a selection of 18 documents on corporate governance from
seven countries (United Kingdom, USA, Canada, France, Germany, the
Netherlands and Belgium). These documents date from the 1990s, most
of them from 1995 and 1996, and are to be made available more
easily to business and academia in other countries than the one in
which they have been elaborated. They offer a wealth of data,
insights, self-regulatory experiences and legislative proposals
which show that, despite all the national deep-rooted differences,
the core problems are very similar indeed.
The volume contains 23 articles by international experts, both
scholars and practioners dealing with the development of
institutional investors (such as banks, insurances, investment
companies, pension funds etc.), their investment and voting
policies, the impact on managements of the companies concerned and
related issues. The consequences of the international development
on capital markets as well as policy implications for the
respective national legislations are treated.
This book explores the struggle to define self-government in the
critical years following the Declaration of Independence, when
Americans throughout the country looked to the Keystone State of
Pennsylvania for guidance on political mobilization and the best
ways to create a stable arrangement that could balance liberty with
order. In 1776 radicals mobilized the people to overthrow the
Colonial Assembly and adopt a new constitution, one that asserted
average citizens’ rights to exercise their sovereignty directly
not only through elections but also through town meeting,
petitions, speeches, parades, and even political violence. Although
highly democratic, this system proved unwieldy and chaotic. David
Houpt finds that over the course of the 1780s, a relatively small
group of middling and elite Pennsylvanians learned to harness these
various forms of "popular" mobilization to establish themselves as
the legitimate spokesmen of the entire citizenry. In examining this
process, he provides a granular account of how the meaning of
democracy changed, solidifying around party politics and elections,
and how a small group of white men succeeded in setting the
framework for what self-government means in the United States to
this day.

In Defeating Depression, a seasoned psychiatrist provides insight
into the whos, whats, and whys of depression and shares knowledge
about contemporary diagnosis and treatment of the common types of
depression-all while raising awareness about the prevalence of
depression in modern society.
Millions of Americans are walking around depressed and have no
idea why they feel bad or what to do about it. Through case
studies, psychiatric commentary, and detailed information on
symptoms and available treatments, Dr. Houpt offers a comprehensive
study into the most common psychiatric problem diagnosed in
Americans each year. Others will learn how to: Identify the risk
factors for depression Recognize the signs, symptoms, and different
types of depression Treat depression through natural treatments,
therapy, and medication Know when normal grief has turned into
prolonged depression Depression has many faces and does not
discriminate. Defeating Depression sheds light on a perplexing
disorder and provides hope to those who suffer from depression that
one day they too will rise above the darkness and into the light
once again.
In this two volume festschrift, contributors explore the
theoretical developments (Volume I) and applications (Volume II) in
traditional cognitive psychology domains, and model other areas of
human performance that benefit from rigorous mathematical
approaches. It brings together former classmates, students and
colleagues of Dr. James T. Townsend, a pioneering researcher in the
field since the early 1960s, to provide a current overview of
mathematical modeling in psychology. Townsend's research critically
emphasized a need for rigor in the practice of cognitive modeling,
and for providing mathematical definition and structure to
ill-defined psychological topics. The research captured
demonstrates how the interplay of theory and application, bridged
by rigorous mathematics, can move cognitive modeling forward.

Problem behaviours are often the result of how an animal thinks and
feels, genetics and environmental influences. Steering away from
just description diagnoses and focusing instead on emotional and
cognitive causes, this book provides a practical approach to
diagnosing, treating, and managing behaviour pathologies in dogs
and cats. Beginning by addressing cases in the first opinion
practice, this book then considers physical disorders that may lead
to or exacerbate abnormal behavior. From there, the focus shifts to
mental and emotional health, from an assessment of normal behavior
and giving juveniles an optimal start in life, to diagnosing mental
and emotional disorders, addressing emotions such as anxiety and
frustration, and how to manage these issues - by modifying
behavior, managing the animal's environment, training, and, when
necessary, the use of medications. The second half of the book then
addresses owner concerns, including management problems,
aggression, affective disorder, elimination disorder, abnormal and
repetitive behaviours and ageing-related problems. With an emphasis
on helping first line veterinarians identify common presentations
and offer help to owners, this book: - Addresses both normal and
abnormal behaviour in cats and dogs from an emotion and cognition
perspective; - Provides behaviour modification protocols, and drug
doses and indications; - Includes handouts to be used both within
the practice and with clients to help the veterinary surgeon manage
the case. Written by international experts, the book translates
their insights and experience into approaches taken in behavioural
medicine. Also including the most up-to-date drugs, it is an
important resource for both small animal veterinarians and students
of veterinary medicine or animal behaviour.
The European Commission is already preparing the future framework
of not-for-profit organizations which will be available to
Europeans. The aim of the European Foundation Project is to develop
the legislative draft for the legal form of a European Foundation.
A team of experts in comparative law from across Europe,
commissioned by the Bertelsmann Foundation, the Compagnia di San
Paolo, and the ZEIT-Stiftung Ebelin and Gerd Bucerius, has
undertaken feasibility research, and developed a proposal. The
resulting draft legislation is clearly presented here in a way
which makes it easy for the reader to locate information on
specific legal issues. The draft is supported by comprehensive
explanatory chapters, as well as comparative chapters on each issue
which cover European countries, the USA and China. This book lays
the groundwork for policy and advocacy initiatives in the European
foundation and the not-for-profit sector.
Zwei aktuellen Themen von hoher kreditwirtschaftlicher Tragweite
hat die Bankrechtliche Vereinigung - Wissenschaftliche Gesellschaft
fA1/4r Bankrecht e.V. ihren Bankrechtstag 2001 in Kiel gewidmet: a
žEntgeltklauseln in der Kreditwirtschafta und a že-Commerce von
Kreditinstitutena .Die Entgeltgestaltung von Kreditinstituten auf
der Grundlage von Allgemeinen GeschAftsbedingungen hat inzwischen
die Rechtsprechung seit mehr als zehn Jahren intensiv beschAftigt,
steht aber immer noch, z.B. neuerdings hinsichtlich
Zinsanpassungsklauseln, im Vordergrund des Interesses. Einerseits
spielt es eine entscheidende Rolle, ob vom Entgelt fA1/4r eine
vereinbarte Leistung ausgegangen werden kann oder ob durch eine
Nebeneinrede Kosten A1/4berwAlzt werden. Andererseits sollen
Klauseln A1/4ber Entgelte und ihre A"nderung hinreichend bestimmt
und fA1/4r den Kunden nachvollziehbar sein.Der e-Commerce von
Kreditinstituten gewinnt infolge der technischen Entwicklung,
namentlich etwa fA1/4r Anwendungen des online-banking, steigende
Bedeutung und bringt zahlreiche Rechtsfragen mit sich, z.B.
hinsichtlich der VertragsabschlA1/4sse bei Kommunikation im
Internet und der dabei zu wahrenden Datensicherheit.
