Book Description
Este libro realiza un estudio pormenorizado del régimen jurídico de los suelos contaminados, analizando la regulación establecida en la Unión Europea, la República Federal de Alemania, el Estado español y distintas comunidades autónomas, como son Cataluña, el País Vasco y Galicia. Se analizan de forma exhaustiva los distintos aspectos objeto de regulación en este ámbito, prestando especial atención al régimen de responsabilidad. Se ponen de relieve los principales problemas surgidos en torno a esta materia y se profundiza en el régimen jurídico establecido y en las soluciones aportadas, desde una perspectiva crítica. Los suelos contaminados han sido un tema pendiente para el derecho ambiental durante muchos años. En la actualidad, fruto de la afloración de muchos de ellos, se ha evidenciado la necesidad de afrontar esta importante problemática ambiental y se ha empezado a regular sobre la materia para lograr la reparación de estos suelos que se han contaminado, e incluso proteger y prevenir la contaminación del recurso suelo, como se ha hecho desde hace años con otros recursos. Debido a la novedosa y compleja regulación, son pocos los autores que se han dedicado a su estudio, con lo que esta obra representa una gran aportación, en tanto que se detiene en el análisis del régimen jurídico de estos suelos. Además no tan solo lo hace desde la perspectiva del derecho positivo vigente en el Estado, sino también teniendo en cuenta las propuestas que aún no han sido aprobadas, tanto en el ámbito de la Unión Europea, como incluso en el propio Estado, así como la regulación establecida en Estados más avanzados que han afrontado con anterioridad la problemática, como es Alemania. También incorpora un análisis jurisprudencial de la materia, de gran interés, ya que, si bien la jurisprudencia sobre la materia tampoco es numerosa en el Estado español, sí lo es, en cambio, en Alemania. La obra incluye además esquemas para hacer más comprensible la materia, así como una tabla de equivalencias entre normas.

Book Description
The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

Book Description
Reflecting a global trend, scores of countries have affirmed that their citizens are entitled to healthy air, water, and land and that their constitution should guarantee certain environmental rights. This book examines the increasing recognition that the environment is a proper subject for protection in constitutional texts and for vindication by constitutional courts. This phenomenon, which the authors call environmental constitutionalism, represents the confluence of constitutional law, international law, human rights, and environmental law. National apex and constitutional courts are exhibiting a growing interest in environmental rights, and as courts become more aware of what their peers are doing, this momentum is likely to increase. This book explains why such provisions came into being, how they are expressed, and the extent to which they have been, and might be, enforced judicially. It is a singular resource for evaluating the content of and hope for constitutional environmental rights.

Book Description
This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.

Book Description
Dennis Dalton's classic account of Gandhi's political and intellectual development focuses on the leader's two signal triumphs: the civil disobedience movement (or salt satyagraha) of 1930 and the Calcutta fast of 1947. Dalton clearly demonstrates how Gandhi's lifelong career in national politics gave him the opportunity to develop and refine his ideals. He then concludes with a comparison of Gandhi's methods and the strategies of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, drawing a fascinating juxtaposition that enriches the biography of all three figures and asserts Gandhi's relevance to the study of race and political leadership in America. Dalton situates Gandhi within the "clash of civilizations" debate, identifying the implications of his work on continuing nonviolent protests. He also extensively reviews Gandhian studies and adds a detailed chronology of events in Gandhi's life.
