Résumé
Résumé
El Derecho Romano constituye la experiencia jurídica más paradigmática de la historia europea. La enseñanza del Digesto Justinianeo en la Bolonia del siglo XI, está en el origen de la que fue la primera universidad europea, y contribuye, desde entonces, a la conformación de la lógica jurídica de los estudiantes de las Facultades de Derecho, al tiempo que les faculta para entender los distintos Ordenamientos jurídicos modernos como el resultado de sucesivas experiencias históricas, que deberán ser tenidas en cuenta por los estudiosos a la hora de interpretar y aplicar el derecho vigente, así como para abordar la antigua y permanente aspiración de construir un sistema jurídico y una ciencia del derecho de carácter supranacional. La relegación que históricamente se ha producido en el estudio del Derecho Público Romano no se justifica, para el autor (A.), en atención a la unidad lógica del Ordenamiento jurídico, a la necesidad de explicar la norma jurídica en el contexto político y socioeconómico en el que nace y a las múltiples y variadas enseñanzas que depara el estudio de los principios y normas constitucionales, administrativas, penales, fiscales o internacionales que caracterizan a la comunidad romana. La principal novedad de la presente edición -en la que se realiza asimismo la actualización de la bibliografía y el índice analítico- consiste en la adición, en el marco del Capítulo XVI, referente al Derecho Administrativo Romano, de un apartado sobre Arbitrajes de Derecho Público, en el que se procede a analizar el arbitraje internacional, el arbitraje federal, el arbitraje administrativo y el arbitraje legal. El arbitraje administrativo romano era la fórmula usual de resolución de las controversias que se producían entre los distintos tipos de ciudades: de pleno derecho, libres, estipendiarias, tributarias, sometidas al poder romano o integradas en el territorio romano en virtud de tratados, así como entre municipios o colonias, o bien entre alguna de estas entidades y ciudadanos romanos o extranjeros residentes en su territorio. Solían ser objeto de arbitraje administrativo supuestos de conflictos referidos a límites territoriales, allanamientos de terreno público, discrepancias de orden interno entre comunidades públicas, división de cosas comunes, asuntos de naturaleza tributaria o financiera, discordancias surgidas entre ciudadanos y los distintos entes públicos, desviación de ríos públicos, y utilización ilícita de servidumbres, de aguas públicas y de ríos públicos, siendo especialmente numerosas las inscripciones epigráficas y los textos referidos a arbitrajes sobre controversias atinentes a aguas. La previsión y regulación del arbitraje administrativo en Roma constituye una manifestación de la clasicidad y actualidad del Derecho Romano también en esta materia.
Résumé
A Night Too Dark is New York Times bestselling writer Dana Stabenow's latest, the seventeenth in a series chronicling life, death, love, tragedy, mischief, controversy, nature, and survival in Alaska, America's last real frontier. In Alaska, people disappear every day. In Aleut detective Kate Shugak's Park, they've been disappearing a lot lately. Hikers head into the wilderness unprepared and get lost. Miners quit without notice at the busy Suulutaq Mine. Suicides leave farewell notes and vanish. Not only are Park rats disappearing at an alarming rate, but so is life in the Park as Kate knows it. Alaska state trooper Jim Chopin's workload has increased to where he doesn't make it home three nights out of four, the controversial mine has seduced Johnny and his classmates with summer jobs and divided the Niniltna Native Association-the aunties are to a woman selling out-and a hostile environmental activist organization has embraced the Suulutaq Mine as their reason for being. It's almost a relief when Kate finds a body. This she can handle. Until the identity of the body vanishes, too. In this latest Kate Shugak novel, the smart, sexy PI, her wolf/husky hybrid Mutt, and Chopper Jim are only just beginning to realize the fallout from the discovery of the world's second-largest gold mine in their backyard. "Mine change everything," Auntie Vi said in Whisper to the Blood (the previous book in the series and the first to hit the New York Times bestseller list). And it's only just beginning.

Critique du Publishers Weekly
Bestseller Stabenow deftly explores the environmental and economic impact of gold mining in her sizzling 17th novel to feature Alaska PI Kate Shugak (after 2009's Whisper to the Blood). Global Harvest Resources is intent on opening the Suulutaq Mine, where substantial deposits of gold, copper, and molybdenum have been found on state leases in the middle of the Iqaluk Wildlife Refuge, 50 miles from Niniltna. When Kate, "chair of the board of directors of the Niniltna Native Association," and state trooper Jim Chopin find bear-eaten human remains near the truck of Global Harvest roustabout Dewayne A. Gammons, they assume the remains are Gammons's. After all, there was a suicide note in Gammons's truck. Weeks later, a wounded and nearly catatonic Gammons emerges from the woods near Kate's homestead. More puzzles-and murder-follow. An uneasy resolution to the crimes suggests further drama ahead for Kate and her fellow "Park rats." Author tour. (Feb.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved
Critique de Booklist
This long-running series, which began in 1992 with the Edgar Award-winning A Cold Day for Murder, shows small signs of weariness in the eighteenth installment. The story begins with a man going missing and, later, his body being found. Then, later still, the dead man turns up alive, leading Kate Shugak and Alaskan state trooper Jim Chopin to wonder: Just who did that body belong to, anyway? While the characters are as engaging as always, and Stabenow's writing just as sprightly, the book feels a bit lethargic. There are large chunks where nothing much happens for example, the body isn't discovered until nearly a third of the way through the book, and it's a good while before the missing man turns up alive. A leisurely pace is one thing, but some readers might find that this one meanders a little too much. On the other hand, fans of Murder, She Wrote-style mysteries (lengthy introductions of character and plot setup, relatively speedy resolution) will have no problems, and longtime fans will be pleased to spend more time with the always appealing Shugak.--Pitt, David Copyright 2010 Booklist
Critique de Kirkus
Think of gold, lots of gold. Global Harvest Resources Inc. has discovered 42 million ounces of everyone's favorite metal at the Suulutaq Mine, on state leases smack in the middle of Alaska's Iqaluk Wildlife Refuge. Eager to assay even more, mine superintendent Vern Truax brings in a staff of dozens who work for a week, then head for a week off in the nearest townNiniltna, 100 miles awayto drink, flirt and buy souvenirs. A suicidally inclined few opt for an unarmed stroll in the park, courting "death by Alaska" (aka, getting mauled by a bear or moose). When bits of a body duly turn up, investigator Kate Shugak (Whisper in the Blood, 2008, etc.) heads for the mine to see if anyone is missing and learns that Dewayne Gammons has been a no-show for a week. Despite niggling doubts, Kate writes him off as a suicide. When Gammons drags himself into Kate's yard a month later, the cute Aleut has to reconsider. First, who was the bear's real meal? Second, why has Gammons' friend Lydia, another mine employee, also turned up dead? And third, how are the two fatalities connected to State Trooper Jim Chopin's search for a bigamist, or to an industrial spy serving three paymasters, each craving proprietary information concerning the Suulutaq Mine? Kate, still unhappily serving as the chair of the Niniltna Native Association, is even unhappier about cell phones, moneyed tourists and other encroaching changes to the Alaskan lifestyle, not to mention the greed that accelerates them.

Critique du Library Journal
As a controversial gold mine prepares to open in the Iqaluk Wildlife Refuge, an employee leaves a suicide note and dis-appears into the wilderness. When a search party finds bear-eaten human remains, the body is assumed to be the missing miner. Kate Shugak is at a loss when the man stumbles out of the woods some weeks later. Now she must identify the body. VERDICT Mixing the economic, political, and environmental impact of a gold mine on the beautiful Alaskan landscape with Kate's private life and her unacknowledged opposition to the mine makes the 17th Kate Shugak novel (after Whisper to the Blood) a page-turner. Readers of Stan Jones's Alaskan mysteries will appreciate Stabenow's portrayal of the state. [See Prepub Mystery, LJ 10/1/09; available as an audio CD.] (c) Copyright 2010.
