"A Record in Stone is a comprehensive investigation into the different ways in which archaeologists use flaked stone artefacts as a basis for reconstructing the distant human past. Authors Simon Holdaway and Nicola Stern not only describe the range of flaked stone artefact forms recovered from Australian archaeological sites, but also place Australian studies alongside the major international theories surrounding the description of stone artefacts."--BOOK JACKET

Main description: How should a psychiatric hospital react to rule infringements by its residents? The legislators of the different Federal State Legislatures have decided not to plan for an explicit disciplinary law. The author examines the question of whether a codified disciplinary law is preferable. Through legally dogmatic considerations, sociological analyses, empirical investigations and legally comparable considerations, a multi-layered picture of the problem emerges.

Die Beiträger dieses Bandes stellen diese Alternative in Frage: Martti Nissinen, Eva Cancik-Kirschbaum, Reinhard G. Kratz, Jörg Jeremias, Herbert B. Huffmon und Elisabeth Pongratz-Leisten. - These essays interpret Old Testament prophetic writings and their social criticism in the cultural context of ancient near Eastern prophecy. - Die alttestamentliche Prophetie im Kontext ihrer altorientalischen Umwelt.

Why do some rules have the status of law while others do not? Is law simply a matter of rules anyway? What is justice? Is there a duty to obey a law even if it is unjust? Should the law concern itself with the activities of consenting adults in private? This fully-updated new edition of Legal Theory asks questions such as these and discusses
