This book was planned and drafted even before the oil crisis at the end of 1973 drama tically highlighted the importance of research in the field of power production. This turn of events has by no means detracted from the value of the material presented. On the contrary, research on the rational exploitation of energy resources has gained in importance. The development of MHD generators is one of the fields which, it is hoped, will make an important contribution. It is nowadays no longer sufficient, however, just to perform good work. The national treasury, i.e. the taxpayer, allocates considerable funds for scientific research, and the public is therefore entitled to a reasonable account of the results achieved in R&D work. A monograph such as this seems to be the most suitable vehicle for the purpose. Furthermore, in keeping with modern research a group from Max-Planck-Institut fur Plasmaphysik combined with a group from a major industrial company, Maschinen fabrik Augsburg-Ntirnberg AG (M.A.N.), to launch a joint project. The close coopera tion between research establishments and industry will doubtless be intensified."

Constitutionalism, Human Rights, and Islam after the Arab Spring offers a comprehensive analysis of the impact that new and draft constitutions and amendments - such as those in Jordan, Morocco, Syria, Egypt, and Tunisia - have had on the transformative processes that drive constitutionalism in Arab countries. This book aims to identify and analyze the key issues facing constitutional law and democratic development in Islamic states, and offers an in-depth examination of the relevance of the transformation processes for the development and future of constitutionalism in Arab countries. Using an encompassing and multi-faceted approach, this book explores underlying trends and currents that have been pivotal to the Arab Spring, while identifying and providing a forward looking view of constitution making in the Arab world.
