Creation myths, quests, the eternal battle between good and evil,
these are some of the classic tales that feed the ravenous beast of
modern culture. For many the classical traditions of the Greeks and
the Romans occupy the imagination but the ancient world was a
lively and fertile source of stories, reaching much further back
than the pantheon of Zeus and his fellow gods. For the early
civilisations, from the ancient Chinese to African tribal
societies, stories were told to explain the origins of fierce
weather, of unexplained disasters, of floods and earthquakes. Many
traditions developed independently but still echoed similar themes
in the natural human desire to understand the world around us. This
new book brings to life the myths and legends of eight intriguing
traditions: Native American, Chinese, Celtic, Scottish, Greek,
Viking, Indian and African. With a cast of characters as broad and
wide as the ancient river Styx the book is packed with the great
themes of life: love, revenge, eternal conflict, the obsession with
power and the everlasting the battle between the wily and the
strong. This powerful new book is a dazzling collection of the most
gripping tales, vividly retold.
This exciting new edition covers the core subject areas of
arithmetic, algebra, mensuration in 2D and 3D, trigonometry and
geometry, graphs, calculus and statistics and probability for
Marine Engineering students for the Merchant Navy OOW
qualification. Initial examples have been designed purely to
practise mathematical technique and, once these skills have been
mastered, further examples focus on engineering situations where
the appropriate skills may be utilised. The practical questions are
primarily from a marine engineering background but questions from
other disciplines, such as electrical engineering, will also be
covered, and reference made to the use of advanced calculators
where relevant.
This book focuses on the rules-based multilateral trading system
established by the World Trade Organization, with particular
emphasis given to the rich and detailed jurisprudence developed by
the WTO's Appellate Body. The book also devotes considerable
attention to national laws operating in the shadow of the WTO
system (such as antidumping and countervailing duty laws), and to
interesting new developments associated with free trade agreements
such as the USMCA. After introductory chapters on international
economics, international law, and US constitutional and
institutional issues relating to international trade regulation,
the book explores the WTO's structure and takes a detailed look at
its dispute settlement system. The heart of the book then treats
the basic GATT rules on (i) trade liberalization (tariffs and
quotas), (ii) non-discrimination (MFN and national treatment and
the exceptions for FTAs, health and conservation), (iii) standards
and (iv) trade remedies (safeguards, dumping and subsidies).
Additional chapters cover trade in services, intellectual property
issues and several other trade-related issues. The new 7th edition
offers a basic understanding of the international economic system,
the impact of international economic interdependence and the
struggle of legal institutions to cope with this and other aspects
of globalization.
