Globalisation, and the vast migrations of capital and labour that have accompanied it in recent decades, has transformed family law in once unimaginable ways. Families have been torn apart and new families have been created. Borders have become more porous, allowing adoptees and mail order brides to join new families and women fleeing domestic violence to escape from old ones. People of different nationalities marry, have children, and divorce, not necessarily in that order. They file suits in their respective home states or third states, demanding support, custody, and property. Otherwise law-abiding parents risk jail in desperate efforts to abduct their own children from foreign ex-spouses. The aim of this Handbook is to provide scholars, postgraduate students, judges, and practioners with a broad but authoritative review of current research in the area of International Family Law. The contributors reflect on a range of jurisdictions and legal traditions and their approaches vary. Each chapter has a distinct subject matter and was written by an author who was invited because of his or her expertise on that subject. This volume provides a valuable contribution to emerging understandings of the subject.

We live in an age where biodiversity is declining at an unprecedented rate, and the natural environment is increasingly under stress. Digital technologies can play a pivotal role in addressing these challenges. This book draws on several case studies of digital participatory science initiatives to reflectively analyze changes in biodiversity knowledge, expertise and infrastructures.It analyses changes in biodiversity knowledge, expertise and infrastructures in several digital participatory or citizen science initiatives and examines how these projects interact with their local environments and how the results are transported and made visible in other contexts. The projects described involve different groups including indigenous peoples, amateur naturalists, hunters, and researchers, in several geographical contexts, such as France, Finland and Canada, all with ties to international networks. This book was originally published as a special issue of Science as Culture.

The first book entirely dedicated to the topic emphasizes the relation between basic research and actual processing technologies. As such, it covers complex microstructures down to the nanometer scale, structure/property relationships and potential applications in key industries. From the contents: * Constitution* Thermophysical Constants* Phase Transformations and Microstructures* Deformation Behaviour* Strengthening Mechanisms* Creep* Fracture Behaviour* Fatigue* Oxidation Resistance and Related Issues* Alloy Design* Ingot Production and Component Casting* Powder Metallurgy* Wrought Processing* Joining* Surface Hardening* Applications and Component Assessment

First Published in 1978. The primary aim of this book is to provide authoritative accounts of several important topics in the complex and rapidly developing field of psychiatric disorder, presented in such a way as to be of interest and value to those involved in social work, using this term in its widest sense. It was hoped that the series would also be of help to the interested layman who wished an accurate, but not over-technical description of modern developments in mental health practice. The author argues that, with proper support, the practices discussed within could rapidly become one of the most productive areas of preventive medicine and of rationally designed therapy.
