Child soldiers are generally perceived as faultless, passive victims. This ignores that the roles of child soldiers vary, from innocent abductee to wilful perpetrator. This book argues that child soldiers should be judged on their actions and that treating them like a homogenous group prevents them from taking responsibility for their acts.

Advances in technology are making the business and manufacturing environment increasingly complex. Standards can help us cope with this complexity. Given the strategic importance of computers in the economies of the industrial world, it is fitting that one of the most significant commercial stories of our time is the standardization of computer communications.

Although several approaches to this problem are possible, the duality approach se...

Following the evolvment of the initial principles and techniques during the closing decade of the last century, microwave engineering has...

Der Gedanke, ein Kompendium des Verkehrsrechts zu schreiben, be­ schiiftigte den Verfasser seit Jahren. Immer wieder begegnete ihm bei rechtsvergleichenden Studien die auffallende Tatsache, daB gerade im Verkehrsrecht vergleichbare Tatbestande nicht selten eine unterschied­ liche rechtliche Behandlung finden. Der Umstand, daB die Rechtsfragen des Verkehrs seit jeher fast nur von Speziali:sten einer bestimmten Ver­ kehrsart behandelt wurden, di...

Two questions could not be avoided in the avant-propos of this book, (i) what is the importance to man of ruminant livestock, and (ii) what results of practical relevance in the growing mountain of scientific verbiage could be found in the Proceedings of this Symposium. Herbivores are an integral and critical part of the natural ecosystem which must be preserved because of their impact on human welfare. Wh at makes ruminants especially importa...
