The purpose of this book is to give the reader a selective outline
of significant parts of the central areas of German substantive
law, along with original German legal material from these areas.
This comparative analysis considers the differing approaches to
important areas of law in England, France and Germany. In
particular, constitutions, sources of law, rights against the state
to prevent abuse of power, and rights of private individuals and
organisations against each other in tort and contract are examined
and compared, and the system of courts is also considered. Updated
and revised, each sub-topic is introduced with the relevant
material in the English system, allowing easy comparison and
assimilation of the other systems. The text includes translations
of relevant French and German codal material, and references to
relevant cases from all of the jurisdictions. This new edition
includes constitutional changes in France and the United Kingdom,
in particular the new procedure for challenging existing
legislation before the Conseil constitutionnel. It examines the
consequences of the Lisbon Treaty, as well as other recent codal
and legislative changes. Comprehensive and topical, the text
explores a wide variety of new case law on issues such as:
preventive detention; the use of evidence obtained by torture; the
balance between suppression of terrorism and personal freedom; the
internet; email monitoring; artificial reproductive techniques; use
of global positioning systems (GPSs), deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
and closed-circuit television (CCTV); the wearing of religious
clothing (such as the headscarf) and symbols (such as the cross);
circumcision; methods of crowd control; the prevention of human
trafficking; the preservation of privacy, especially for
celebrities; and the legality of pre-nuptial agreements and success
fees for lawyers. Designed for students on comparative law courses,
this textbook will also prove valuable to students who are familiar
with English law, but require a readily comprehensible introduction
to French or German law.

During the past 10 years 'partnership' has become a defining
characteristic of British urban regeneration. It is widely
recognised that the multiple problems of economic decline, social
exclusion and dereliction require holistic and area-specific
responses that can only be provided by effective multi-agency
working, through local partnerships. Yet, to date, there has been
little systematic research into why partnerships succeed or fail;
into what works and what does not. This report provides an in-depth
study of the factors that influence the effectiveness of urban
regeneration partnerships, and how they work within the emerging
national policy context. Case studies were carried out in 27
partnerships in eight city-regions in England and Scotland and in
the Welsh Valleys. Urban regeneration through partnership
highlights the key lessons of partnership, exploring good practice
in: * leadership; * visioning and consensus building; * translation
of vision into workable objectives; * including the community and
business in partnership; * human resources. The report explores
what it calls the 'foundations of partnership', including the
modernisation of local government, a coherent regional development
framework and a sound national urban policy. In addition, it
provides detailed information on the case studies themselves, and
gives good practice recommendations. Urban regeneration through
partnership is essential reading for workers and policy makers in
urban regeneration partnerships, communities involved in urban
regeneration and national and local government, as well as anyone
with an interest in neighbourhood regeneration strategies and
practice.
" In his youth Daniel Trabue (1760--1840) served as a Virginia
soldier in the Revolutionary War. After three years of service on
the Kentucky frontier, he returned home to participate as a sutler
in the Yorktown campaign. Following the war he settled in the
Piedmont, but by 1785 his yearning to return westward led him to
take his family to Kentucky, where they settled for a few years in
the upper Green River country. He recorded his narrative in 1827,
in the town of Columbia, of which he was a founder. A keen observer
of people and events, Trabue captures experiences of everyday life
in both the Piedmont and frontier Kentucky. His notes on the
settling of Kentucky touch on many important moments in the opening
of the Bluegrass region. Chester Raymond Young (1920--1999) was
professor of history and chairman of the Department of History and
Political Science at Cumberland College in Williamsburg, Kentucky.
Daniel Blake Smith is professor of history at the University of
Kentucky.
