It is a valuable resource for anyone involved in river restoration and management, including restorationists, scientists, managers, and policymakers, as well as undergraduate and graduate students.The Science and Practice of Ecological Restoration SeriesRiversRegulationEnvironmental aspectsStream restorationElectronic books.RiversRegulationEnvironmental aspects.Stream restoration.627/.12Brierley Gary J719146Fryirs Kirstie A719147Society for Ecological Restoration International.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457798403321River futures1947823UNINA03138nam 22006492 450 991045507910332120151005020621.01-107-12495-60-511-49508-00-511-17537-X0-511-15568-91-280-41940-70-511-30394-70-511-04485-20-521-80938-X(CKB)111056485622492(EBL)147337(OCoLC)437073033(SSID)ssj0000150501(PQKBManifestationID)11153749(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000150501(PQKBWorkID)10281205(PQKB)11198560(UkCbUP)CR9780511495083(MiAaPQ)EBC147337(Au-PeEL)EBL147337(CaPaEBR)ebr10006814(CaONFJC)MIL41940(EXLCZ)9911105648562249220090304d2002|||| uy| 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierEuropean law in the past and the future unity and diversity over two millennia /R.C. van Caenegem[electronic resource]Cambridge :Cambridge University Press,2002.1 online resource (viii, 175 pages) digital, PDF file(s)Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).0-521-00648-1 0-511-01632-8 Includes bibliographical references (p. 144-167) and index.1. The national codes: a transient phase -- 2. Ius commune: the first unification of European law -- 3. Common law and civil law: neighbours yet strangers -- 4. The holy books of the law -- 5. Why did the ius commune conquer Europe? -- 6. Law is politics.As Europe moves towards economic and political unification, many wonder why legal unification makes so little headway. In this concise but wide-ranging book, R. C. van Caenegem considers the historical reasons behind this legal diversity. He stresses the importance of the adoption on the Continent - but not in England - of the classical law of the Romans, and shows how the rise of the nation states led to a multitude of national codes of law. The impact of politics on legal development is another key factor, and as a graphic example van Caenegem provides a detailed account of how the German past was extolled in Nazi Germany. The book concludes with a consideration of the ongoing debate on the desirability - indeed, on the possibility - of European legal unification and of a federal constitution for a united Europe.European Law in the Past & the FutureLawEuropeInternational unificationLawEuropeCodificationLawInternational unification.LawCodification.340.5/094Caenegem R.
