3 of 5 people found this review helpful.

For any journalist, lawyer or for anyone with an international point of view, this book, focusing on media law throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia is at once a handbook, a compendium, a guide, and a window into different cultures and societies, offering insight as to how each nation deals with the issues of defamation, privacy, freedom of expression, and state power.

Enormously readable, concise, cleverly organized for international comparison, this book will answer a lot of questions that may have occurred to you over the years, and it provides a kind of instant worldwide knowledge. It's required reading for the foreign correpondent, the foreign editor, and anyone else who may know someone or have an interest in worldwide journalism, Internet and broadcast media.

Editorial Review:

The worldwide reach of print media, broadcasting, and the Internet has made ignorance about the laws of far-away jurisdictions a here-and-now liability. Publishers, journalists, and authors can be sued--successfully--for violating legal standards thousands of miles away.

International Libel and Privacy Handbook is a nation-by-nation summary of libel and privacy law, written in straightforward language accessible to journalists and editors. It is presented in an easy-to-use format designed for rapid analysis of media law as it applies to globally accessible publications, Internet sites, broadcasting, and wire services. Contributions by legal experts in Europe, Asia, and the Americas explain the risks publishers should know about prior to publication, what steps editors and publishers should take to avoid legal conflicts, and what defenses are available should they be confronted with a claim.

Editorial Review:

The enforcement of patent rights raises complex, and, from a private international law perspective, unique difficulties. This book analyzes in detail both the European rules on jurisdiction (the Brussels Convention and its successors) and the choice of law rules as they apply to cross-border patent disputes, and will be essential reading for both intellectual property lawyers and international commercial litigation specialists.

Editorial Review:

This edited collection of essays examines aspects of European private law. It looks at the conflicts between private laws in various fields, and different approaches to regulating and harmonizing European private law. This book is an original contribution to the scholarly and policy debates about the desirability and modes of Europeanization of private law, in a context in which the pressures of globalization and of national identities seem to question the chosen path of integration.

In 1985 the "Australian" Government took me Court (6 Court cases) over the legal aspects of our Currency.

The Court decided that there were no existing precedents. So We used the contents of "The Legal Aspects of Money" (previous edition) as our main defence. The Government did not use this book.

The Court decided, that there was "no case to answer" on all 6 cases and this was agreed by the Appeals Court. It is widely reported that that case cost the Government over 22 million dollars and me $175.

It also appears that all traces of the Court action have been removed from their system. I suppose it is no wonder, they would not want people to know.

This compehensive text book should be used by all students and Courts in such matters, without exception. I am sure the new edition will be just as valuable.

Editorial Review:

Mann on the Legal Aspect of Money is the leading English text that considers money both in a domestic and an international context. It places particular emphasis on factors that may have an adverse impact on monetary obligations, such as depreciation, devaluation and exchange control. The book includes a detailed section on monetary union in Europe, including a review of the consequences of the union for the national sovereignty of eurozone Member States.

Editorial Review:

This book is a revised and expanded version of the General Course delivered by the author at the Hague Academy of International Law in 1996. It contains three parts that discuss theory and practice of adjudicatory authority in private international law in comparative perspective focusing on the United States, Germany and the European Union. The first part examines the foundations and emergence of jurisdictional theory elaborating on the types of adjudicatory authority and the design of jurisdictional provisions. Part two covers basic themes and pervasive issues reflecting, inter alia, on the actor sequitor forum rei principle, choice of forum agreements, forum non conveniens, antisuit injunctions and the lis pendens doctrine. The last part explores the role of international instruments for achieving convergence and harmonization. It analyzes the design of judgments conventions and in particular the efforts of the Hague Conference on Private International Law to foster worldwide harmonization.

Editorial Review:

This volume is an important contribution to both theoretical and practical approaches to solving contradictions and conflicts between the approaches, principles, objectives and regulations of international environmental agreements. The issue of the coordination and streamlining of environmental agreements is of growing importance regarding the increasing number of international regulations on the one hand and the urgency for effective instruments in the light of continuing environmental degradation on the other. This study will become an essential reference for scholars as well as practitioners working in the field of international environmental law.
