Launched in 2002, Swarovski Crystal Palace is a shimmering series of sculptural pieces that had its debut at the Milan Furniture Fair. This ongoing forum has commissioned such noteworthy talents as Ron Arad, Zaha Hadid and Ross Lovegrove to develop original artworks in crystal. Through a brief history of Swarovski crystal we learn of its refined tradition as well as its bold vision for the future. Along the way, we delve deeper into the Crystal Palace designers, with interviews and articles on their individual philosophies. We follow the pieces step by step through design and construction. We see the works on display in such venues as Salone del Mobile, Design Miami, MoMA and the Barbican. We also glimpse the artworks in the homes of celebrities and other persons of note, such as the Swarovski family members themselves.

Wanneer een passagier aan boord van een vliegtuig besmet blijkt met een dodelijk virus, geeft geen enkel land toestemming om te landen.

More than 200 major river basins are shared by two or more countries and, together, these basins account for about 60% of the earth's land area, constituting a significant portion of the world's fresh water resources. They are thus both a significant asset to the nations sharing them, as well as a potential source of conflict. This book presents a generic framework for the analysis of decision making on international river issues. It emphasises the strategic character of the interactions between the basin states and addresses learning and institutionalization processes, taking account of the influence of the context on the decision making process. The case of the river Scheldt covers negotiations on the Belgian-Dutch water conventions covering a number of international issues relating to the river basins of the Scheldt and the Meuse, such as construction projects aimed at improving the maritime access to the port of Antwerp, the maintenance of the navigation channel in the Western Scheldt, pollution of the waters in the two rivers, and the distribution of water from the Meuse. The final part of the book contains a typology of strategies for the solution of upstream-downstream problems in international river basins. Audience: All those interested in international water and environmental management, international negotiations and politics, and public policy.

Current environmental problems and technological risks are a challenge for a new institutional arrangement of the value spheres of Science, Politics and Morality. Distinguished authors from different European countries and America provide a cross-disciplinary perspective on the problems of political decision making under the conditions of scientific uncertainty. cases from biotechnology and the environmental sciences are discussed. The papers collected for this volume address the following themes: (i) controversies about risks and political decision making; (ii) concepts of science for policy; (iii) the use of social science in the policy making process; (iv) ethical problems with developments in science and technology; (v) public and state interests in the development and control of technology.
