Tort Law in Bangladesh: Applications and Challenges
by Sakif AlamThis book explores the use of tort laws in Bangladesh, outlining critical studies and cases on key concepts such as nuisance, international torts, negligence, and liability. Drawing from case studies in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, and India, the volume comparatively analyses various aspects of tort law including its efficacy, issues of determination and monetary considerations. It scrutinizes academic literature and prominent cases such as Bangladesh Beverage Industries Ltd v Rowshan Akhter and Children Charity Bangladesh Foundation v Government of Bangladesh among others to examine the objective and use of tort law in Bangladesh.

Tort Law and the Construction of Change: Studies in the Inevitability of History
by Kenneth S. Abraham G. Edward WhiteTort Law and the Construction of Change studies the interaction of law and social change in American history. Tort law—civil law made by judges, not legislators—is traditionally thought to arise out of legal precedent. But Kenneth S. Abraham and G. Edward White show that American judges over the course of the previous two centuries also paid close attention to changing societal contexts in which lawsuits for civil injuries arose. They argue that two versions of history–one grounded in the application of previous legal rules and the other responsive to larger societal changes—must be considered in tandem to grasp fully how American civil law has evolved over time.In five fascinating chapters, they cover understudied areas of tort law, such as liability for nonphysical harm—including lawsuits for defamation, privacy, emotional distress, sexual harassment, and the hacking of confidential information—and aspects of tort litigation that have now disappeared, such as the prohibition against "interested" parties testifying in civil actions or the intentional infliction of temporal damage without justification. What emerges is a picture of the complicated legal dance American judges performed to cloak their decisions to make at times radical changes in tort law in response to social transformations. When confronting established tort doctrines under pressure from emerging social changes, they found ways to preserve at least the appearance of doctrinal continuity.
Tort Law and Social Morality
by Peter M. GerhartThis book develops a theory of tort law that integrates deontic and consequential approaches by applying justificational analysis to identify the factors, circumstances, and values that shape tort law. Drawing on Kantian and Rawlsian philosophy, and on the insights of game theorist Ken Binmore, this book refocuses tort law on a single theory of responsibility that explains and justifies the broad range of tort doctrine and concepts. Under this theory, tort law asks people to appropriately incorporate the well-being of others into the decisions they make, explains when that duty applies, and explains the scope and limits of that duty. The theory also incorporates a theory of the evolutionary development of social values that people use, and ought to use, in meeting that duty and explains how decision-making from behind the veil of ignorance allows us to evaluate the is in light of the ought.

Tort Law
by Hylton Keith N.Tort Law: A Modern Perspective is an advanced yet accessible introduction to tort law for lawyers, law students, and others. Reflecting the way tort law is taught today, it explains the cases and legal doctrines commonly found in casebooks using modern ideas about public policy, economics, and philosophy. With an emphasis on policy rationales, Tort Law encourages readers to think critically about the justifications for legal doctrines. Although the topic of torts is specific, the conceptual approach should pay dividends to those who are interested broadly in regulatory policy and the role of law. Incorporating three decades of advancements in tort scholarship, Tort Law is the textbook for modern torts classrooms.

Torsors, Étale Homotopy and Applications to Rational Points
by Alexei N. SkorobogatovTorsors, also known as principal bundles or principal homogeneous spaces, are ubiquitous in mathematics. The purpose of this book is to present expository lecture notes and cutting-edge research papers on the theory and applications of torsors and étale homotopy, all written from different perspectives by leading experts. Part one of the book contains lecture notes on recent uses of torsors in geometric invariant theory and representation theory, plus an introduction to the étale homotopy theory of Artin and Mazur. Part two of the book features a milestone paper on the étale homotopy approach to the arithmetic of rational points. Furthermore, the reader will find a collection of research articles on algebraic groups and homogeneous spaces, rational and K3 surfaces, geometric invariant theory, rational points, descent and the Brauer–Manin obstruction. Together, these give a state-of-the-art view of a broad area at the crossroads of number theory and algebraic geometry.

Torsion of Thin Walled Structures
by Krishnaiyengar RajagopalanThis comprehensive textbook focuses on the torsion in thin walled structures, highlights the nuances of the problems faced and succinctly discusses warping, bimoment, etc. Since in several thin walled structures, torsion is the only or dominant loading, this book addresses such unique structures as well. It provides a concise explanation of the warping properties and how they are evaluated. Thin walled structures with torsion as the preponderant loading are then treated using classical and finite element methods. No prior knowledge of the finite element method is required as the method is introduced from the basics. The same problem is worked out by both approaches so that the concepts are clearly understood by the readers. The book includes pedagogical features such as end-of-chapter questions and worked out examples to augment learning and self-testing. The book will be useful for graduate courses as well as for professional development coursework for structural engineers in the aerospace, mechanical, and civil engineering domains.
Torsion and Shear Stresses in Ships
by Mohamed ShamaIn the last few decades, much research work was conducted to improve ship structure analysis and design. Most of the efforts were directed to improve the strength of hull girder and to use the method of finite element analysis more efficiently and effectively. Because of the high degree of complexity of ship structures the interaction between hull girder strength and local strength require special attention. The complex system of stresses could produce unacceptable deformations and high values of equivalent stresses. This book covers an area of ship structure analysis and design that has not been exhaustively covered by other books on ship structures in a simple form. It presents the basic concepts of the methods and procedures required to calculate torsion and shear stresses in ship structures. Moreover, it is enhanced with a set of some solved and unsolved problems, very useful for students of naval and marine engineering.

Torres en la cocina
by Sergio Torres Javier TorresSergio y Javier, los hermanos Torres, nos enseñan cada día a preparar recetas originales, sabrosas y asequibles en su programa de televisión Torres en la cocina. Este libro recoge por vez primera sus trucos y consejos para sacar el máximo partido a los productos de temporada y lograr resultados de alta cocina al alcance de todos. Nuestra curiosidad por la cocina empezó a los ocho años, y todo se lo debemos a nuestra abuela Catalina. De su mano descubrimos un mundo de olores y sabores que tomaba forma en los mercados de la ciudad que recorríamos junto a ella. Después de formarnos con el maestro Josep Lladonosa iniciamos un camino por separado que nos llevó al corazón de las cocinas de grandes chefs como Jean Louis Neichel, Pedro Subijana, Alain Ducasse, Santi Santamaria o Philippe Rochat. Años más tarde, y con toda esta experiencia acumulada, nuestras trayectorias volvieron a unirse para dar comienzo a proyectos en Jávea, Brasil y Barcelona, donde llegó la estrella Michelin en 2010. Ha sido un viaje intenso y maravilloso en el que hemos aprendido y disfrutado mucho, aunque sin perder de vista jamás nuestros orígenes. Por eso aún conservamos el piso barcelonés en el que cocinaba la abuela y allí hemos situado el Espacio Ilusión o, como nos gusta llamarlo, nuestro I+D, en el que cada día sumamos ilusión y diversión a la cocina.

Torres de piedra
by Wojciech JagielskiTorres de piedra es un extraordinario reportaje de Wojciech Jagielski sobre uno de los lugares más trágicos y desconocidos del planeta: Chechenia. Los abundantes recursos petrolíferos y el derrumbe de la Unión Soviética en 1991 alimentaron las aspiraciones independentistas de la población chechena y desembocaron en dos sangrientas guerras contra Rusia que se saldaron con más de 150.000 muertos. Este libro retrata la segunda de ellas, iniciada en 1999 como maniobra política para asegurar la elección como presidente de Rusia de un entonces desconocido ex miembro del KGB: Vladímir Putin y cerrada en falso en 2002, con un gobierno títere incapaz de controlar las zonas rebeldes gobernadas por la ley del más fuerte.Jagielski retrata magistralmente Chechenia, sus habitantes y la cruel guerra sostenida por un puñado de guerrilleros desesperados contra el poderoso ejército ruso. Su narración se estructura en torno a los protagonistas principales del conflicto, dos hombres que se lo deben todo a esta guerra: Shamil Basáyev, héroe para algunos y peligroso señor de la guerra para otros, y Aslán Masjádov, un político soberbio y calculador, salvador providencial para una parte de sus compatriotas y cobarde oportunista para el resto. La guerra librada por ambos contra las fuerzas enemigas y sus irresolubles conflictos proporcionan al autor un valiosísimo material sobre el que construir una espléndida y conmovedora alegoría acerca de la guerra y la irreversibilidad de las buenas y malas elecciones.
