"This volume contains nearly the entire creative output of Hans Holbein the Younger's Basel period, i.e. the productive and innovative years between 1515 and 1532. In contrast to his later work in England, where he was active primarily as a portraitist and a designer at court, the Basel years were varied and multifaceted." This publication also includes a series of essays by distinguished Holbein scholars. These cover Holbein's artistic development, analyze his graphic works, shed light on his religious panel paintings and focus on individual works and work complexes such as the woodcut series of the Images of Death. Holbein's artistic career, his patrons and his relationship to antique and contemporary art theory are also discussed.

Focusing on the late effects of childhood cancer, this book provides a comprehensive examination of the diverse global influences on survivors. As the population of childhood cancer survivors grows, the need for informed caregivers becomes increasingly critical. The text emphasizes that survivorship experiences differ significantly between children and adults, highlighting the unique challenges faced by young survivors. This documentation serves as an essential resource for understanding and addressing the specific needs of this demographic.

The stylized facts that firms pay and investors react to dividends disregard dividend neutrality. Taking on the perspective that informational asymmetries are the central determinant for dividend value relevance, Christian Müller assumes that firm’s dividend decision conveys useful information to investors. He shows that investors use dividend changes to revise their a priori expectations about the persistence of a current earnings change. While his theoretical and empirical analyses generally imply that dividend changes constitute informative, but imperfect information signals, he further identifies situations in which they are substantial to investors. Christian Müller’s research comprehensively examines the informational role of dividend policy and provides new insights to the corresponding Bayesian investor learning process.

In order to analyse the relationship between European law and the national legal systems this book focuses in its first part on the historical roots of the relations between German and Norwegian jurisprudence and law and discusses the question of national origins of European law versus an autonomous system of European law both in an overview approach and in an exemplary comparative approach. In a second part perspectives of European law are discussed in the specific area of EU an EEA rules concerning national public interests andm public ownership.

Das Buch erörtert das Verhältnis zwischen dem Recht des Europäischen Wirtschaftsraumes (EWR) und dem der Europäischen Union (EU). Die Beiträge behandeln zum einen das institutionelle Verhältnis zwischen EWR und EU unter Berücksichtigung des Vertrages von Amsterdam und der Rolle des Europäischen Gerichtshofes, zum anderen den Einfluß der Europäischen Währungsunion auf den Kapitalmarkt und schließlich Fragen des Wettbewerbsrechtes im Bereich der Energie- und Telekommunikationssektoren.

The relationship between European law (EC law and EEA law) and national constitutions is a long standing issue of controversial discussion. The occasion of the 200th anniversary of the Norwegian constitution of Eidsvoll (Grunnloven), which was enacted in the aftermath of the Kieler Frieden, gave rise to a comparison of four central elements of this relationship in view of the German and Norwegian constitution and in comparison with EEA law and EU law. The eight contributions of this volume analyse the development of statehood, federalism, the rule of law (Rechtsstaatlichkeit) and democracy in the light of the objectives and the reality of European integration. They deal with the inalienable core of German statehood in the course of European integration, the development of Norwegian Constitutionalism in Europe, the German Federation within the structure of Union law and politics, the issue of EEA law as a federal legal order, the relationship between the idea of Rechtsstaatlichkeit and the development of the Norwegian constitution, the aspects of power shifts in the light of democracy and legitimacy in the context of the financial crisis, the relationship between EEA EFTA States and EU Agencies and the constitutional objectives of the European Union.

The volume presents seven contributions which analyse two different progressive complex developments of European law: the legal challenges of adherence to the internal market without membership in the European Union in a comparative view of Norway (EEA) and Switzerland (“Bilateral Agreements”), and the legal answers to the financial and/or budgetary crisis and challenges in Europe. The common denominator of both subjects is the raising complexity of European law.
