King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table
"King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table" by Sir Thomas Malory is a prose compilation written around 1470. This Middle English work weaves together legendary tales of King Arthur, Guinevere, Lancelot, Merlin, and the Knights of the Round Table. Malory assembled and reworked material from various French and English sources to create a complete narrative spanning Arthur's conception to his death. The compilation includes the quest for the Holy Grail and the legend of Tristan and Iseult, creating one of the most influential works of Arthurian literature.

Records of a Family of Engineers
"Records of a Family of Engineers" by Robert Louis Stevenson is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the lineage of the Stevenson family, particularly focusing on their contributions as engineers and their experiences across generations in Scotland, intertwining personal anecdotes with broader historical narratives. The opening of the book introduces the reader to the Stevenson family tree, tracing their surname's evolution and historical context from the 13th century onward. It reveals a lineage that has faced both successes and tragedies, with a particular focus on the early lives of James Stevenson, his brother Hugh, and their heir, Robert Stevenson. The text sketches their aspirations, marriages, and struggles, ultimately painting a portrait of a family deeply rooted in the engineering profession, set against the backdrop of the rugged Scottish landscape and societal changes of their time. This initial section not only captures the essence of their individual experiences but sets the stage for further exploration of the family's lasting impact on engineering.

Competition Authorities in South Eastern Europe: Building Institutions in Emerging Markets
This open access book provides answers to key open questions concerning competition policy in emerging economies, with a focus on South Eastern Europe. The contributions address two major issues. One is the design of competition policy and the national competition authorities that enforce it, including the topics of competition advocacy and state aid control; the other is the use of economic methods in competition law enforcement, especially in the cases of relevant market definition and merger control. Many lessons learned in the countries of South Eastern Europe can be applied to the emerging markets of other regions. As such, the findings presented here will be highly relevant for officials and staff at national competition authorities, advisers to legislators shaping national competition policy, competition law professionals, and university students alike. ; Presents topical insights into the institutional design of national competition authorities Offers specific economic methods relevant for competition law enforcement Linked to a dedicated website providing information about ongoing competition law cases in SEE countries

Disasters: Core Concepts and Ethical Theories
This Open Access Book is the first to examine disasters from a multidisciplinary perspective. Justification of actions in the face of disasters requires recourse both to conceptual analysis and ethical traditions. Part 1 of the book contains chapters on how disasters are conceptualized in different academic disciplines relevant to disasters. Part 2 has chapters on how ethical issues that arise in relation to disasters can be addressed from a number of fundamental normative approaches in moral and political philosophy. This book sets the stage for more focused normative debates given that no one book can be completely comprehensive.
Many economists define their discipline as the study of mechanisms to
allocate scarce resources
, and as such the study of “price gouging” goes directly to the heart of economic analysis.

National Constitutions in European and Global Governance: Democracy, Rights, the Rule of Law: National Reports
This two-volume book, published open access, brings together leading scholars of constitutional law from twenty-nine European countries to revisit the role of national constitutions at a time when decision-making has increasingly shifted to the European and transnational level. It offers important insights into three areas. First, it explores how constitutions reflect the transfer of powers from domestic to European and global institutions. Secondly, it revisits substantive constitutional values, such as the protection of constitutional rights, the rule of law, democratic participation and constitutional review, along with constitutional court judgments that tackle the protection of these rights and values in the transnational context, e.g. with regard to the Data Retention Directive, the European Arrest Warrant, the ESM Treaty, and EU and IMF austerity measures. The responsiveness of the ECJ regarding the above rights and values, along with the standard of protection, is also assessed.
In other words, as Fasone has pointed out, ‘[i]n a time of
