"This book provides a new and wide-ranging study of law's normativity, examining conceptual, descriptive and empirical dimensions of this perennial philosophical issue. It also contains essays concerned with, among other issues, the relationship between semantic and legal normativity; methodological concerns pertaining to understanding normativity; normativity and legal interpretation; and normativity as it pertains to transnational law. The contributors come not only from the usual Anglo-American and Western European community of legal theorists, but also from Latin American and Eastern European communities, representing a diversity of perspectives and points of view - including essays from both analytic and continental methodologies. With this range of topics, the book will appeal to scholars in transnational law, legal sociology, normative legal philosophy concerned with problems of state legitimacy and practical rationality, as well as those working in general jurisprudence. It comprises a highly important contribution to the study of law's normativity."--Bloomsbury Publishing

Patient-centered care is both a philosophy and a strategy for the provision of health care services in the United States. This case study presents qualitative descriptive design as a methodology for planning patient-centered research in keeping with the demands of the modern health care system. It is based on the authors experience with a doctoral dissertation focusing on the use of patient-centered health information technology to engage older adults with multi-morbidities in the plan of care. We discuss practical considerations associated with qualitative descriptive, including sampling and data collection as well as qualitative design decisions related to the theoretical model and data analysis techniques. We conclude by sharing our lessons learned and providing discussion questions that could promote classroom conversation and further debate.

Linguists and specialists on Siberia are generally familiar with the name Ket, which designates a small ethnic group on the Yenisei and their language, widely regarded as a linguistic enigma in many respects. Ket is a severely endangered language with today less than 500 native speakers. Together with Yugh, Kott, Arin, Assan and Pumpokol, all of which are completely extinct, it forms the Yeniseic family of languages, which has no known linguistic relatives. This Grammar of Ket constitutes the first book of its kind in English and is structured as follows: (1) Introduction; (2) The Kets and their Language; (3) Phonology; (4) Morphology; (5) References. A second volume is planned on Ket syntax, supported by a collection of original texts with translations and annotations.

'Dieses Papier widmet sich der Problematik des Aufbaus von Legitimität (eines der am häufigst verwendeten und 'mißbrauchten' Konzepte der Politikwissenschaft) im Rahmen von 'governance' (eines der 'modernsten' Konzepte im politischen Diskurs) in der Europäischen Union (eines der neuesten politischen Experimente). Ob absichtlich oder unabsichtlich, die EU hat sehr zur Herstellung dieser Arrangements beigetragen; eine 'Formel' zur ihrer Legitimation fehlt jedoch. In diesem Zusammenhang legt der Autor eine Reihe von Prinzipien vor, die zum Aufbau von Europäischen 'Regierungs-Arrangements' (European Governance Arrangements, EGAs) beitragen könnten. Er schließt mit kritischen Anmerkungen, wobei er u.a. betont, daß EGAs nicht dazu beitragen werden alle Probleme in allen Politikfeldern zu lösen und auch nicht funktionieren werden, wenn sie nicht auf politischen Prinzipien basieren (im Hinblick auf eine eigene Charta, die Zusammensetzung ihrer Mitglieder und in Zusammenhang mit Entscheidungsmechanismen). Rein technokratische oder administrative Überlegungen werden nicht genügen.' (Autorenreferat)
