Based on the video game series of the same name, this sci-fi adventure directed by Justin Kurzel follows the story of Callum Lynch (Michael Fassbender), a career criminal saved from execution by the modern day Templars of the secretive Abstergo Industries. Using technology called the Animus, Callum is forced to relive the memories of his ancestor, Aguilar (Fassbender), an Assassin during the Spanish Inquisition. Alan Rikkin (Jeremy Irons) and his daughter Sophia (Marion Cotillard) conduct their experiments on Callum, while he gains the skills of his ancestor to fight the Templars of today.

"This is a work by a fighter, a thinker, and an idealist. Leo Labedz is a fighter who minces no words in his contempt for the apologists of totalitarianism. He never rests in his efforts to enlarge the scope of human freedom, and many have felt the sharp edge of his political scalpel. He is a thinker with a penetrating mind and en cyclopedic knowledge. He is an idealist who believes in sacrificing for the just cause to which he has dedicated his life." With these words of extraordinary praise, Zbigniew Brzezinski opens this volume of critical and polemical essays by Leopold Labedz. His knowledge of Soviet affairs, as seen through the eyes of the crusaders and critics of the Modern Russian State, is peerless. Chapters, which include major studies of Alexandr Solzhenitsyn, George Orwell, Noam Chomsky, George Kennan, and Leszek Kolakowski among others, es tablish Labedz as among the most incisive analysts of Soviet affairs as well as those who presume special expertise in this ar cane field.Labedz's impassioned writing covers not only Sovietologists, but also the major fault lines with which totalitarian systems have been uniquely identified. His writings on the Holocaust, student revolt, European unity, and the meaning of detente, help provide a perspective with which to assess present moods and policies within the still ever-present Soviet bloc. The anthology was prepared and edited by Melvin J. Lasky, the editor of Encounter, in which many of these materials initially appeared.

Ein Schiedsverfahren beruht auf einer Schiedsvereinbarung zwischen den Parteien. Diese bezieht sich auf ein bestimmtes Rechtsverhaltnis; oft erfasst sie ausservertragliche Anspruche. Die rechtsvergleichende Arbeit befasst sich mit den Folgen einer AEnderung der Sachbefugnis fur den Schiedsvertrag. Da er begunstigende wie belastende Elemente in sich vereint, besteht kein Gleichlauf mit dem zugunsten eines Dritten begrundeten, auf ihn ubertragenen oder ihn sonst betreffenden materiellen Recht. Der Verfasser bestimmt die Institute, die in derartigen Fallen eine parallele Geltungserstreckung ermoeglichen. Zudem untersucht er die in der internationalen Praxis verbreitete Erstreckung auf vertragsfremde Gruppengesellschaften. Insofern fordert er eine Ruckbesinnung auf die vertragsrechtlichen Grundlagen; er legt dar, wie sich diese bei Beteiligung gruppenzugehoeriger Unternehmen fruchtbar machen lassen.

Thanks to her acclaimed volume of poetry and prose published in France in 1555, Louise Labe (1522-66) remains one of the most important and influential women writers of the Continental Renaissance. Best known for her exquisite collection of love sonnets, Labe played off the Petrarchan male tradition with wit and irony, and her elegies respond with lyric skill to predecessors such as Sappho and Ovid. The first complete bilingual edition of this singular and broad-ranging female author, " Complete Poetry and Prose" also features the only translations of Labe's sonnets to follow the exacting rhyme patterns of the originals and the first rhymed translation of Labe's elegies in their entirety.

Ariane Labed stars in the title role of this French drama co-written and directed by Lucie Borleteau. The story follows 30-year-old marine engineer Alice (Labed), who works below deck in the engine room of the Fidelio freighter. Despite spending months apart because of her job, Alice enjoys a steady relationship with her Norwegian boyfriend Felix (Anders Danielsen Lie). But Alice's loyalty is tested when her ex-boyfriend Gael (Melvil Poupaud) is named as the new captain of her ship and dormant feelings for her old flame are reignited.

The concept of a miniaturised laboratory on a disposable chip is now a reality, and in everyday use in industry, medicine and defence. New devices are launched all the time, prompting the need for a straightforward guide to the design and manufacture of lab-on-a-chip (LOC) devices. This book presents a modular approach to the construction and integration of LOC components in detection science. The editors have brought together some of the leading experts from academia and industry to present an accessible guide to the technology available and its potential. Several chapters are devoted to applications, presenting both the sampling regime and detection methods needed. Further chapters describe the integration of LOC devices, not only with each other but also into existing technologies. With insights into LOC applications, from biosensing to molecular and chemical analysis, and presenting scaled-down versions of existing technology alongside unique approaches that exploit the physics of the micro and nano-scale, this book will appeal to newcomers to the field and practitioners requiring a convenient reference.
