Sommario/riassunto

"Dolphin researchers have collected an impressive amount of data over the last twenty years, thanks to advances in technology for monitoring, recording, and analyzing dolphin behavior as well as increasing interest in exploring and modeling dolphins' cognitive capacities. This volume offers a comprehensive reference to the latest research on dolphin communication and cognition, reporting on findings from both the



laboratory and the field. The contributors review a wide range of topics, including vocalization, abstract reasoning abilities, imitation and learning, social cognition, echolocation, and ethical issues in working with cetaceans. The book begins by examining the dolphin brain and its evolution, the anatomy of its unique sound production and reception systems, and its sensory abilities. It next treats communication, reviewing the complexity of dolphins' vocalization, and then describes research on cognition, from both experimental and developmental perspectives. Finally, the book considers the future of dolphin research, including a series of provocative questions that remain unanswered, posed by the volume's expert contributors"--MIT CogNet.

Sommario/riassunto

"Das Buch behandelt die Haftung der Intermediäre aus der Sicht des Internationalen Privat und Zivilverfahrensrechts. Im Mittelpunkt steht die Frage, welches Recht bei grenzüberschreitenden Sachverhalten, wie sie typischerweise im Internet entstehen, über die Haftung des Intermediärs, der eine Immaterialgüterrechtsverletzung durch Bereitstellen einer Plattform oder eines Zugangsdienstes ermöglicht, entscheidet. Ausgehend von den Vorgaben des immaterialgüterrechtlichen Territorialitätsprinzip und der darauf aufbauenden Schutzlandanknüpfung sowie deren Grenzen, den Vorgaben des Unionsrechts und der materiellrechtlichen Ausgestaltung verschiedener Formen der Haftung für die Ermöglichung von Immaterialgüterrechtsverletzungen im deutschen, französischen und US-amerikanischen Recht wird für die Haftung der Intermediäre eine eigenständige kollisionsrechtliche Anknüpfung befürwortet, die zur Anwendung eines vorhersehbaren Rechts führt."--Verl.
