Odpowiedzialnosc Cywilna Za Szkody Spowodowane Zanieczyszczeniem Olejami Ze Statku

Książka jest jedynym na rynku polskim omówieniem problematyki odpowiedzialności cywilnej za szkody olejowe ze statku. Rozwój transportu ropy naftowej drogą morską czyni tę tematykę niezwykle aktualną, o czym świadczą niedawne katastrofy tankowców Erika, Prestige czy wyciek z platformy wiertniczej Deepwater Horizon w Zatoce Meksykańskiej. Autorka omawia międzynarodowy system kompensacji szkód olejowych, który tworzą ratyfikowane przez Polskę konwencje międzynarodowe. Porównuje go z autonomicznymi rozwiązaniami przyjętymi w prawie amerykańskim, które były przedmiotem Jej badań podczas stypendium naukowego Polsko-Amerykańskiej Komisji Fulbrighta w Tulane Law School. Zarówno międzynarodowy, jak i amerykański system kompensacji szkód olejowych został przedstawiony na podstawie analizy licznego i aktualnego orzecznictwa oraz literatury. Autorka poddaje również szczegółowej analizie rozwiązania prawa polskiego, uwzględniając nowelizację kodeksu morskiego.

This book explores the problems inherent in the unification of maritime law. Featuring contributions from leading experts at European maritime law research centres, it considers international conventions, current maritime practice, standard forms and recently adopted national codifications of maritime law from the codification point of view.

Since the end of the Cold War, the international community, and the USA in particular, has intervened in a series of civil conflicts around the world. In a number of cases, where actions such as economic sanctions or diplomatic pressures have failed, military interventions have been undertaken. This 1999 book examines four US-sponsored interventions (Panama, Somalia, Haiti and Bosnia), focusing on efforts to reconstruct the state which have followed military action. Such nation-building is vital if conflict is not to recur. In each of the four cases, Karin von Hippel considers the factors which led the USA to intervene, the path of military intervention, and the nation-building efforts which followed. The book seeks to provide a greater understanding of the successes and failures of US policy, to improve strategies for reconstruction, and to provide some insight into the conditions under which intervention and nation-building are likely to succeed.

Now in paperback, this book has succeeded in its aim to introduce the global climate problem and the complex processes and interactions which play a part in climatic change to a wide range of scientists working in climatic research or the related fields of meteorology, oceanography, glaciology and hydrology. It is centred around the World Climate Research Programme, an international enterprise jointly sponsored by the scientific community (through the International Council of Scientific Unions) and the national weather centres (through the World Meteorological Organisation). If progress is to be made in understanding climatic change, it is necessary to observe and understand all components of the climate system and the interactions between them. This book is particularly relevant to many contemporary climatic problems and to the two most important questions arising tom them: to what extent can changes in climate be predicted; and what is the extent of man's influence on climate. The Global Climate answers these questions, showing how the important processes may be -observed, evaluated and modelled by computer.

Containing more than 225 illustrations, this is probably the first book to cover both scientific research on trees and tree surgery. It is an authoritative work, written by a man who has had a lifetime's experience of working with trees, and as such, the book will undoubtedly appeal to a wide-ranging readership.

The overall aim of this study was to assess the energyconservation potential obtainable through the reuse of wastematerials, and to identify areas for priority action.
