Intellectual Property and the Public Domain (Hardcover): Robert P. Merges, Amy L. Landers Intellectual Property and the Public Domain (Hardcover)
Robert P. Merges, Amy L. Landers
R8,268 Discovery Miles 82 680 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This research review examines the many facets of the public domain. It discusses key papers, whose topic is the various justifications for a rich repository of publicly-avaliable information, including policies favouring robust competition, free speech, and scientific and technological advance. It also explores problems in ensuring access to public domain works, as well as commons management mechanisms. Perspectives on the dynamic between the public domain and the creation of new works are also presented. This research review is an insightful resource for students and researchers with a consideration of the public domain as an important topic in its own right as well as shedding light on the underlying rationales of intellectual property law.

Differentiable Germs and Catastrophes (Paperback): Theodor Broecker Differentiable Germs and Catastrophes (Paperback)

These notes give a fairly elementary introduction to the local theory of differentiable mappings. Sard's Theorem and the Preparation Theorem of Malgrange and Mather are the basic tools and these are proved first. There follows a number of illustrations including: the local part of Whitney's Theorem on mappings of the plane into the plane, quadratic differentials, the Instability Theorem of Thom, one of Mather's theorems on finite determinacy and a glimpse of the theory of Toujeron. The later part of the book develops Mather's theory of unfoldings of singularities. Its application to Catastrophe theory is explained and the Elementary Catastrophes are illustrated by many pictures. The book is suitable as a text for courses to graduates and advanced undergraduates but may also be of interest to mathematical biologists and economists.

Ritual Sites and Religious Rivalries in Late Roman North Africa (Hardcover): Shira L. Lander Ritual Sites and Religious Rivalries in Late Roman North Africa (Hardcover)
Shira L. Lander
R2,518 Discovery Miles 25 180 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

In Ritual Sites and Religious Rivalries in Late Roman North Africa, Lander examines the rhetorical and physical battles for sacred space between practitioners of traditional Roman religion, Christians, and Jews of late Roman North Africa. By analyzing literary along with archaeological evidence, Lander provides a new understanding of ancient notions of ritual space. This regard for ritual sites above other locations rendered the act or mere suggestion of seizing and destroying them powerful weapons in inter-group religious conflicts. Lander demonstrates that the quantity and harshness of discursive and physical attacks on ritual spaces directly correlates to their symbolic value. This heightened valuation reached such a level that rivals were willing to violate conventional Roman norms of property rights to display spatial control. Moreover, Roman Imperial policy eventually appropriated spatial triumphalism as a strategy for negotiating religious conflicts, giving rise to a new form of spatial colonialism that was explicitly religious.

It is the Thirty-first Century, the world as we knew it is gone and a new world has emerged out of the ashes. This new world is called Eden and it is one of the members of fourteen planets called The Federation. These planets all have one thing in common. They all seek a perfect world. There are no monetary system, no boundaries, no flags and no governments. Pollution is a thing of the past and all but two of the ailments have been eliminated. A perfect world is finally within reach. Then three unexpected events occur. First, a new planet with life forms in the first stages of evolution is discovered. The problem is the planet has been knocked out of its orbit around its sun. The Federation has no choice but to try and save as many as possible. Because of their warring nature, they are split up among the fourteen planets. Second, after an earthquake on Eden, a new unknown gas is discovered coming out of the mountain. Searching for the origin two mercenaries from the twentieth century are found alive. The gas had kept them in suspended animation. Third, Four spaceships carrying escaped convicts from another galaxy suddenly appears. These events could not only disrupt but could destroy all hope of a perfect world.

They liked to call themselves 'The Fabulous Five'. Steve was the first to get home to Atlanta as the others continued on. One weekend, early on a Saturday, Steve's friend Ira took him on a fishing trip into the wilderness outside Atlanta to a secret lake. They passed a mansion located near the lake that Ira informed Steve was really a casino. Steve couldn't get the casino out of his head. As fate would have it, The Fabulous five sat on the beach the following Wednesday and the conversation turned to money and then to a perfect crime. Steve proclaimed to have an idea on the subject. A bet was made and what starts out as just a lark to win the bet turns into an adventure that would alter their lives forever.
