Linking Foreign Language Education and the Environment: Intercultural Communicative Competence and Environmental Literacy (original) (raw)
International Criminal Law bibliography
As with most of my compilations, this list has two conspicuous constraints: books, in English (thus a fair amount of worthy journal articles are missing). I welcome suggestions for additional titles in keeping with those constraints. Some of the titles below are not directly related to international criminal law, such as those dealing with individual and collective (or group) responsibility and forms of individual and group "guilt" short of strict criminal liability or culpability; for example: civil sanctions, reparations, restitution, reconciliation, lustration, truth commissions, and so forth; in brief, "accountability" processes and mechanisms that endeavor to explain and address widespread grievous collective wrongs and forms of participation in acts of or complicity with evil (e.g., 'bystanders') that are predominantly social and moral, thus "quasi-legal" but typically "extra-legal." These various accountability processes and mechanisms, be they local, regional, national or even transnational, are (if not should be) capable of working alongside, in conjunction with, or simply after international criminal law tribunals, revolving around the subjects of transitional and post-conflict justice (or jus post bellum). Thus we should not view international criminal law and justice as necessarily crowding out, displacing, or trivializing these personal and collective accountability mechanisms. Finally, there are a handful of books that speak to basic ideas, norms, and principles of international law that form the backdrop of or undergird, if you will, international criminal law. These titles stand apart for their philosophical, theoretical, or moral orientation and perspectives on international law. For what it's worth, I believe the foremost philosopher with regard to international criminal law is-unequivocally-Larry May.
High Diversity in Cretaceous Ichthyosaurs from Europe Prior
2014
BackgroundIchthyosaurs are reptiles that inhabited the marine realm during most of the Mesozoic. Their Cretaceous representatives have traditionally been considered as the last survivors of a group declining since the Jurassic. Recently, however, an unexpected diversity has been described in Upper Jurassic–Lower Cretaceous deposits, but is widely spread across time and space, giving small clues on the adaptive potential and ecosystem control of the last ichthyosaurs. The famous but little studied English Gault Formation and ‘greensands’ deposits (the Upper Greensand Formation and the Cambridge Greensand Member of the Lower Chalk Formation) offer an unprecedented opportunity to investigate this topic, containing thousands of ichthyosaur remains spanning the Early–Late Cretaceous boundary.Methodology/Principal FindingsTo assess the diversity of the ichthyosaur assemblage from these sedimentary bodies, we recognized morphotypes within each type of bones. We grouped these morphotypes together, when possible, by using articulated specimens from the same formations and from new localities in the Vocontian Basin (France); a revised taxonomic scheme is proposed. We recognize the following taxa in the ‘greensands’: the platypterygiines ‘Platypterygius’ sp. and Sisteronia seeleyi gen. et sp. nov., indeterminate ophthalmosaurines and the rare incertae sedis Cetarthrosaurus walkeri. The taxonomic diversity of late Albian ichthyosaurs now matches that of older, well-known intervals such as the Toarcian or the Tithonian. Contrasting tooth shapes and wear patterns suggest that these ichthyosaurs colonized three distinct feeding guilds, despite the presence of numerous plesiosaur taxa.Conclusion/SignificanceWestern Europe was a diversity hot-spot for ichthyosaurs a few million years prior to their final extinction. By contrast, the low diversity in Australia and U.S.A. suggests strong geographical disparities in the diversity pattern of Albian–early Cenomanian ichthyosaurs. This provides a whole new context to investigate the extinction of these successful marine reptiles, at the end of the Cenomanian.
A version of this bibliography was originally compiled for the author’s article on “Historiography”, in volume 1 of the New Dictionary of the History of Ideas, ed. M.C. Horowitz (2005). It has been revised and more than doubled in length since then, but even so is still a “select” bibliography. The bibliography lists ethnohistorical works not commonly included in bibliographies of historiography. The emphasis is on works on English but select works in other languages, especially German, French and Italian have also been included for those wishing to follow up topics in further detail; however the reader should note that for every foreign language work listed many more have been left out. With some exceptions, individual chapters within edited volumes of essays are not listed separately unless specifically cited in the text. Conversely, where less than three chapters from an edited volume have been used, they are listed individually but there is no separate listing of the volume as a whole. Editions of primary texts are included much more selectively, either where they have been directly quoted from (for example in the longer extracts that this book features), or where they contain useful introductory or editorial matter commenting on author and text. Most such texts are listed in the footnotes at the point at which they are cited in the present work. In the case of edited collections of essays or sources with more than three editors, only the first name is listed for the sake of space. In the case of journals, typically only volume number and year will be given, not issue number within a year, though in certain exceptions (for instance, special theme issues) the number is sometimes included. NOTE: THIS BIBLIOGRAPHY WAS CLOSED EXCEPT FOR MINOR ADDITIONS IN 2010.

Many textbooks describe information and theories about the Earth without training students to utilize real data to answer basic geological questions. This volume -a combination of text and lab book -presents an entirely different approach to structural geology. Designed for undergraduate laboratory classes, it is dedicated to helping students solve many of the geometrical problems that arise from field observations. The basic approach is to supply step-by-step instructions to guide students through the methods, which include well-established techniques as well as more cutting-edge approaches. Particular emphasis is given to graphical methods and visualization techniques, intended to support students in tackling traditionally challenging two-and three-dimensional problems. Exercises at the end of each chapter provide students with practice in using the techniques, and demonstrate how observations and measurements from the field can be converted into useful information about geological structures and the processes responsible for creating them.

The Future of Central Banking: The Tercentenary Symposium of the Bank of England
The Economic History Review, 1996
On the occasion of the 300th anniversary of the Bank of England there is a natural tendency to look back at the historical record of central banks, to examine their development to the present time, and, more daringly, to speculate about their future. Although it is hard to depart from a chronologically ordered narrative (particularly since two of the authors are economic historians), we have tried to structure our paper by concentrating on the key functions undertaken by the central bank.
