Wilhelm G. Grewe's \"Epochen der Völkerrechtsgeschichte\", published in 1984, is widely regarded as one of the classic twentieth century works of international law. This revised translation by Michael Byers of Duke University, Durham, North Carolina, makes this important book available to non-German readers for the first time. \"The Epocs of International Law\" provides a theoretical overview and detailed analysis of the history of international law from the Middle Ages, to the Age of Discovery and the Thirty Years War, from Napoleon Bonaparte to the Treaty of Versailles, the Cold War and the Age of the Single Superpower, and does so in a way that reflects Grewe's own experience as one of Germany's leading diplomats and professors of international law. A new chapter, written by Wilhelm G. Grewe and Michael Byers, updates the book to October 1998, making the revised translation of interest to German international layers, international relations scholars and historians as well. Wilhelm G. Grewe was one of Germany's leading diplomats, serving as West German ambassador to Washington, Tokyo and NATO, and was a member of the International Court of Arbitration in The Hague. Subsequently professor of International Law at the University of Freiburg, he remains one of Germany's most famous academic lawyers. Wilhelm G. Grewe died in January 2000. Professor Dr. Michael Byers, Duke University, School of Law, Durham, North Carolina, formerly a Fellow of Jesus College, Oxford, and a visiting Fellow of the Max-Planck-Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law, Heidelberg.

Inspired by recent litigation, this book identifies and critically appraises the manifold and varied approaches to calculating compensation for damage caused to the environment. It examines a wide range of practice on compensation - in general and specifically for environmental damage - from that of international courts and tribunals, as well as international commissions and regimes, to municipal approaches and other disciplines such as economics and philosophy. Compensation for Environmental Damage Under International Law synthesises these approaches with a view to identifying their blind spots, bringing clarity to an area where there exists broad discrepancy, and charting best practices that appropriately balance the manifold interests at stake. In particular, it is argued that best practice methodologies should ensure compensation serves to fully repair the environment, reflect the emerging ecosystems approach and any implications environmental damage may have for climate change, as well as take into account relevant equitable considerations. This book is essential reading for academics, practitioners and students working in the field of environmental law.

Si es posible otra Filosofía de la Historia que nos oriente y nos guíe críticamente hacia el futuro, esta nacerá en el vientre de los feminismos. Este segundo volumen de Filosofía de la Historia y feminismos quiere ser una muestra de ello. Las autoras que participan en este volumen han querido incidir en la responsabilidad que tenemos sobre ese porvenir y en el horizonte filosófico y político necesario para actualizar sus mejores posibilidades (Teresa Oñate, María José Guerra, Alicia H. Puleo). Y señalan el camino a seguir por la vía del sentir, una dimensión de la existencia que escapa a las polémicas del racionalismo y el empirismo, y a las de la moral y el derecho vigentes, y nos recuerda que las raíces de la verdad y del bien están ante todo en una misma (Nora Levinton y Carmina Serrano, Carolina Narvaez, Mª de las Candelas Valle Blanco). Por último, proponen que el futuro deseable ha de ser también una vuelta al origen, porque cualquier destino que se construya dándole la espalda llevará en sí el germen de su propia destrucción; es decir, de la destrucción de la diferencia y de la indisponibilidad de lo sagrado (María-Milagros Rivera Garretas, Barbara Verzini, Magda Lasheras).
