This new edition of Owen{u2019}s Products Liability Law refines and updates this classic study of products liability law in action. It examines in depth the nature and history of products liability in America and abroad; theories of liability, product defectiveness, and causation; proof of defect and cause (including toxic substances), with a Daubert emphasis; key defenses, including federal preemption; and a thorough inquiry into many special types of products liability contexts (including cases against sellers of electronic and biologic products), claims against Amazon for ?selling? defective third-party products, automotive cases, and pharmaceutical litigation. Throughout, the treatise explores the underlying tensions and debates, explains the impact of the Restatement of the Law of Torts, Third: Products Liability, highlights classic and important recent cases, and reveals how reform statutes alter this ever-shifting field of law.

Autonome cyber-physische Systeme, also körperliche, selbstlernende Technologien, werden absehbar Einzug in unsere Lebenswirklichkeit finden. Wird auch das Strafrecht reagieren müssen, wenn innovative, autonome Technologien die tatbestandlichen Erfolge einer Körperverletzung oder einer Tötung herbeiführen? Zwecks Beantwortung dieser Frage untersucht Maximilian Münster die hierzulande geltenden Maßstäbe strafrechtlicher Produkthaftung, um anschließend ihre Anwendung auf das Inverkehrbringen autonomer cyber-physischer Systeme zu bewerten. Bei dieser Bewertung stehen diejenigen Grenzen im Vordergrund, welche das Verfassungsrecht der Kriminalisierung eines Verhaltens zwingend aufgibt. Die Arbeit schließt - auch mit Blick auf die Rechtslage in den USA - mit einer Stellungnahme gegen den Rückzug des Strafrechts aus dem hiesigen Anwendungsfeld.»Penalized Innovation? Criminal Liability for the Placing on the Market of Autonomous Cyber-Physical Systems«: Autonomous cyber-physical systems will foreseeably find their way into the reality of our lives. Will criminal law have to react when innovative, autonomous technologies cause bodily injury or homicide? To answer this question, Maximilian Münster examines the standards of criminal product liability that apply in Germany and then evaluates their application to the marketing of autonomous cyber-physical systems.

In this book, world-leading social scientists come together to provide original insights on the capacities and limitations of insurance in a changing world. Climate change is fundamentally changing the ways we insure, and the ways we think about insurance. This book moves beyond traditional economics and financial understandings of insurance to address the social and geopolitical dimensions of this powerful and pervasive part of contemporary life. Insurance shapes material and social realities, and is shaped by them in turn. The contributing authors of this book show how insurance constitutes and is constituted through the traditional elements of earth, water, air, fire, and the novel element of big data. The applied and theoretical insights presented through this novel elemental approach reveal that insurance is more dynamic, multifaceted, and spatially variegated than commonly imagined. This book is an authoritative source on the capacities and limitations of insurance. It is a go-to reference for researchers and students in the social sciences - particularly those with an interest in economics and finance, and how these intersect with geography, politics, and society. It is also relevant for those in the disaster, environmental, health, natural and social sciences who are interested in the role of insurance in addressing risk, resilience, and adaptation.
