Abstract

Important changes in legislation, and a mounting number of court decisions relevant to the topics here discussed, have made a revision and expansion of the fourth edition necessary. The objective of the book still remains essentially as it was twenty-one years ago, when the first edition appeared. That aim is to present to engineers and engineering students a simple treatment of the legal aspects of engineering undertakings and responsibilities, using a minimum of technical legal terms and avoiding the subtler distinctions and conflicts. As legal problems now arise in a wide range of engineering activities, it has been thought well to add three more chapters. These concern "Mines, Oil and Gas Wells, and Pipe Lines"; "Public Utilities"; and "Public Health."

Abstract

"Climate change is among the world's most important problems, and solutions based on emission cuts or adapting to new climates remain elusive. One set of proposals receiving increasing attention among scientists and policymakers is 'solar geoengineering', (also known as solar radiation modification) which would reflect a small portion of incoming sunlight to reduce climate change. Evidence indicates that this could be effective, inexpensive, and technically feasible, but it poses environmental risks and social challenges. Governance will thus be crucial. In The Governance of Solar Geoengineering, Jesse L. Reynolds draws on law, political science, and economics to show how solar geoengineering is, could, and should be governed. The book considers states' incentives and behavior, international and national law, intellectual property, compensation for possible harm, and non-state governance. It also recommends how solar geoengineering could be responsibly researched, developed, and - if appropriate - used in ways that would improve human well-being and ensure sustainability."--

Abstract

Procréer est devenu - depuis la naissance des premiers CECOS jusqu'à l'intervention du législateur en 1994, et aujourd'hui avec les questions soulevées par la révision des lois de bioéthique - un sujet de société dont l'actualité est permanente. La complexité des questions soulevées a été appréhendée par le droit en imaginant des mécanismes nouveaux, autorisant et sécurisant de nouvelles manières de constituer une famille.Le défi auquel sont désormais confrontés les juges réside dans l'autre nouveauté du phénomène qu'est la concurrence normative et les départs à l'étranger des résidents d'un État pour pouvoir mener à bien leur projet d'enfant. Comment les droits nationaux accueillent-ils les retours de ces couples et de ces personnes seules ? Quelles questions soulèvent-ils tant quant à la légitimité de la démarche qu'à celle de l'interdit ?Cet ouvrage y répond en restituant les résultats de recherches juridiques comparatives sur les procréations assistées - travaux soutenus par la Mission de recherche Droit et Justice - , et en confrontant ces résultats au regard critique de chercheurs de différentes disciplines (juristes, philosophes, anthropologues, sociologues, démographes et économistes) mais aussi de praticiens (notamment des magistrats).
