uses unsigned and unexplained orders to change the law behind closed doors. The Supreme Court has always had the authority to issue emergency rulings in exceptional circumstances. But since 2017, the Court has dramatically expanded its use of the behind-the-scenes &“shadow docket,&” regularly making decisions that affect millions of Americans without public hearings and without explanation, through cryptic late-night rulings that leave lawyers—and citizens—scrambling. The Court&’s conservative majority has used the shadow docket to green-light restrictive voting laws and bans on abortion, and to curtail immigration and COVID vaccine mandates. But Americans of all political stripes should be worried about what the shadow docket portends for the rule of law, argues Supreme Court expert Stephen Vladeck. In this rigorous yet accessible book, he issues an urgent call to bring the Court back into the light.Die europäischen Wirtschaftsgrundrechte wurden stark fortentwickelt, indem der EuGH die immer wieder beklagte grobmaschige Prüfungsdichte deutlich erhöht hat.

sich wichtige Konsequenzen für die Verwirklichung des Klimaschutzes auf EU-Ebene, die mit dem BVerfG-Klimabeschluss abgeglichen werden. Wie können damit die UN-Ziele für eine nachhaltige Entwicklung erreicht werden, zu denen Maßnahmen zum Klimaschutz gehören (SDG 13)? Insoweit von Bedeutung sind auch die solidarischen Grundrechte vor allem in Gestalt des Umweltschutzes. Die sozialen Grundrechte hatten ihre Bewährungsprobe im Zusammenhang mit Covid 19. Ausführlich behandelt werden auch die Gleichheits- und Bürgerrechte, die justiziellen Rechte unter starkem Rückgriff auf die insoweit vielfältige EGMR-Judikatur, aber auch die jüngere EuGH-Rechtsprechung in Kartellsachen. Insgesamt erfolgt eine nähere Bewertung mit Blick auf die konkreten Konsequenzen.Coping with the Stress of First Responder Life“…a work of major importance that offers practical approaches to self-care and serenity…

Par Michael Geist, Tenille Brown, Haewon Chung, Sarah Greene, Peter Johnson, Elizabeth Judge, Tracey Lauriault, Ian Parfitt, Fernando Perini, Claus Rinner, Renee Sieber, Christine Varga, Lisa Ward Mather. 2021
The Future of Open Data est issu d’un projet de recherche en partenariat subventionné pendant plusieurs années par le Conseil…
de recherches en sciences humaines (CRSH) qui vise à explorer les données gouvernementales géospatiales ouvertes dans une perspective interdisciplinaire. Les chercheurs associés à cette subvention ont adopté une perspective critique en sciences sociales basée sur l’impératif voulant que la recherche devrait être pertinente à la fois pour le gouvernement et pour les partenaires de la société civile œuvrant dans ce domaine.Cet ouvrage s’appuie sur les connaissances développées durant la période de validité de la subvention et soulève la question : « Quel est l’avenir des données ouvertes ? » Les collaborateurs partagent leurs idées à propos de l’avenir des données ouvertes à la suite d’observations et de recherches menées pendant cinq ans sur la communauté des données ouvertes canadiennes selon une perspective critique de ce qui pourrait et ce qui devrait arriver dans un contexte où évoluent les efforts concernant les données ouvertes.Chaque chapitre de ce livre aborde une diversité d’enjeux tout en s’appuyant sur des perspectives disciplinaires ou interdisciplinaires. Le premier chapitre retrace les origines des données ouvertes au Canada et la manière dont la situation a évolué jusqu’à aujourd’hui, en tenant compte du croisement entre le mouvement de souveraineté des données autochtones et les données ouvertes. Quelques chapitres se penchent sur certains dangers et sur les possibilités des données ouvertes, à leurs limites et même aux responsabilités qui s’y rattachent. Une autre série de chapitres examine les horizons appropriés pour les données ouvertes, incluant les données ouvertes dans le Sud global, les priorités des gouvernements locaux en matière de données et le contexte émergent des données ouvertes dans les milieux ruraux.My Amazing ADHD Brain: A Child's Guide to Thriving with ADHD

Par June Goulding. 2011
'I promised that I would one day write a book and tell the world about the home for unmarried mothers.…
I have at last kept my promise.'In Ireland, 1951, the young June Goulding took up a position as midwife in a home for unmarried mothers run by the Sacred Heart nuns. What she witnessed there was to haunt her for the next fifty years. It was a place of secrets, lies and cruelty. A place where women picked grass by hand and tarred roads whilst heavily pregnant. Where they were denied any contact with the outside world; denied basic medical treatment and abused for their 'sins'; where, after the birth, they were forced into hard labour in the convent for three years. But worst of all was that the young women were expected to raise their babies during these three years so that they could then be sold - given up for adoption in exchange for a donation to the nuns.Shocked by the nuns' inhumane treatment of the frightened young women, June risked her job to bring some light into their dark lives. June's memoir tells the story of twelve women's experiences in this home and of the hardships they endured, but also the kindness she offered them, and the hope she was able to bring.Keep Calm: Trust Yourself and Enjoy Your Baby

Par Ingrid Pitt. 1999
At the age of five, Ingrid Pitt found herself in a concentration camp. Ingrid and her mother escaped from the…
guards while on a forced march and presented themselves to the partisans, unsure if they would kill them. They spent the rest of the war in the forests. Ingrid fell in love for the first time and watched in despair as British bombers flew overhead. She still cannot see the vapour trials of planes without being transported back to her childhood vigil. After the war Ingrid came to London, where she developed a career as a Hammer House of Horror movie star, but, as she proundly says, `I was always the biter, never the bitten!' She also acted in mainstream films, such as WHERE EAGLES DARE. She had a child by her first marriage and a grand passion which lead to her marrying a racing driver. They lived in Argentina for a while and were good friends of President Peron and Isabelits Peron. Ingrid even spent an evening with the embalmed body of Eva Peron. Written with great passion and warmth, this is a rare childhood memoir and the story of Hammer`s most galmorous actress. Above all, this is a story of a survivor.
