"The issue of constitutional authority, and more particularly the plurality of claims to legal and constitutional authority, has been a dominant theme of European Union legal scholarship in recent years. The resonance of the topic is evident in many of the major EU developments of the past decade: the momentous eastwards enlargement, the gambit of the un-ratified Constitutional Treaty; the growing number of national constitutional court challenges to EU authority claims; the likely EU accession to the European Convention on Human Rights; and finally the rulings of the European Court of Justice on the relationship of EU law to the international legal order"--

La Dua Libro estis originale verkita en Esperanto kaj aprobita de la cenzuro je 18-a de januaro de 1888, kiu estis planonta la unua parto de pli ampleksa libro, enhavonta 5-6 kajerojn, aperontajn dumonate dum 1888. Sed post la eldono de la unua parto, Zamenhof decidis ke la aliaj partoj ne plu estis bezonataj, kiam li audis pri la planoj de la Usona Filozofia Societo pridiskuti artefaritan internacian lingvon konference.

In the tradition of Carl Wilson's Let's Talk About Love , an unforgettable account of fame, fandom, and the problem of making art in the twenty-first century In his multi-hyphenate ambitions, the musician who calls himself Juiceboxxx couldn't be more modern--you might call him a punk rock-rapper-DJ-record executive-energy drink-magnate. Journalist Leon Neyfakh has been something more than a fan of Juiceboxxx's since he was a teenager, when he booked a show for the artist in a church basement in his hometown of Oak Park, Illinois. Juiceboxxx went on to the tireless, lonely, possibly hopeless pursuit of success on his own terms--no club was too dank, no futon too grubby, if it helped him get to the next, next level. And, for years, Neyfakh remained haunted from afar: was art really worth all the sacrifices? If it was, how did you know you'd made it? And what was the difference, anyway, between a person like Juiceboxxx--who devoted his life to being an artist--and a person like Neyfakh, who elected instead to pursue a stable career and a comfortable, middle-class existence? Much more than a brilliant portrait of a charismatic musician always on the verge of something big, The Next Next Level is a wholly contemporary story of art, obsession, fame, ambition, and friendship--as well as viral videos, rap-rock, and the particulars of life on the margins of culture.

A Nick Hoffman / Academic Mystery, Book 2 - Nick Hoffman, desperate to get tenure, has been saddled with a thankless task: coordinating a conference on Edith Wharton that will demonstrate how his department and his university supports women's issues.

A penetrating look at a community of ex-drug addicts who help one another through the exhausting experience of withdrawal and rehabilitation by using radical “haircutting” sessions in which members of the community probe their problems with savage candor. Here are Synanon’s successes – a rehabilitation rate far higher than those of more “legitimate” agencies – as well as its failures. Here is a thoughtful and sympathetic analysis of Synanon’s unique, and widely misunderstood, theories about addiction and its cure: the use of ex-addicts in weaning away narcotics users, the lifelong effects of addiction and the resultant need for a supportive environment. Here, too, is the troubled history of Synanon, both within the profession and with the greater society “outside” which all too often turns its back on the brutal facts of our nation’s addiction problem.

How to Sing is a classic singing/vocal instruction guide by Lilli Lehmann. My purpose is to discuss simply, intelligibly, yet from a scientific point of view, the sensations known to us in singing, and exactly ascertained in my experience, by the expressions "singing open," "covered," "dark," "nasal," "in the head," or "in the neck," "forward," or "back." These expressions correspond to our sensations in singing; but they are unintelligible as long as the causes of those sensations are unknown, and everybody has a different idea of them. Many singers try their whole lives long to produce them and never succeed.
