Fair Trial and Judicial Independence Hungarian Perspectives


Free Download Fair Trial and Judicial Independence: Hungarian Perspectives By Zoltán Fleck (auth.), Attila Badó (eds.)
2014 | 248 Pages | ISBN: 3319012150 | PDF | 2 MB
This comprehensive publication analyzes numerous aspects of the relationship between judicature and the fair trial principle in a comparative perspective. In addition, it examines the manifestation of some of the most significant elements inherent to the fair trial concept in different legal systems. Along with expansion of judicial power during the past century and with the strengthening of judicial independence, the fair trial requirement has appeared more often, especially in different international agreements and national constitutions, as the summarizing principle of what were formerly constitutional principles pertaining to judicature. Despite its generality and supranational application, the methods of interpreting this clause vary significantly among particular legal systems. This book assumes that the substantive content of this term conveys relevance to the organizational independence of judicial power, the selection of judges, and the mutual relationship between the branches of power. The comparative studies included in this collection offer readers a widespread understanding of the aforementioned correlations and will ultimately contribute to their mastery of the concept of fair trial.​

Atmospheric Greenhouse Gases The Hungarian Perspective


Free Download Atmospheric Greenhouse Gases: The Hungarian Perspective By László Haszpra (auth.), László Haszpra (eds.)
2011 | 393 Pages | ISBN: 9048199492 | PDF | 9 MB
Human induced global climate change is the biggest challenge humankind faces today. Increasing amount of atmospheric greenhouse gases play a crucial role in the evolution of the climate. Without the understanding of the contributing processes, feedbacks and interactions we cannot predict the future changes and develop effective mitigation strategies. To decrease the uncertainty of the global studies detailed regional studies are needed surveying the regional characteristics of the atmospheric greenhouse gas budget and the influencing factors. Atmospheric Greenhouse Gases: The Hungarian Perspective covers a coherent subset of the Hungarian climate change oriented research that is directly related to greenhouse gases. Topics discussed in the book range from the monitoring of the concentrations and fluxes of atmospheric greenhouse gases, through the modeling of atmosphere-biosphere interaction and greenhouse gas exchange processes, to the review of the anthropogenic contribution of Hungary to the greenhouse gas budget of the atmosphere. The studies call the attention to the regional properties which may modulate the European scale or global picture on the variation of atmospheric greenhouse gases.

Hungarian Goulash A Historical Memoir


Free Download Robert Hajdu, "Hungarian Goulash: A Historical Memoir"
English | ISBN: 098644670X | 2015 | 570 pages | AZW3 | 1135 KB
This work of literary nonfiction recalls the life of a secular Jewish boy who was born in Budapest during World War II, grew up under Communist rule and escaped with his family to America during the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. Estranged from his own past for half a century, after his father’s death the memoirist returns to the country of his birth to see what is still there for him to reclaim. Since he is a historian, he recovers whatever he can of that boy’s life and sets the fragments in various historical contexts, from the most immediate to the broadest. And so the personal story is woven together with engagingly told accounts of, and historical reflections on, the Revolution itself, the Holocaust in Hungary, Communism as a religion, human migrations, the Cold War, Jewish life in Hungary through the centuries, and the differences between the Old World and the New. In the end, the main characters of Hungarian Goulash, a work as much history as memoir, turn out to be not just the memoirist’s mother and father but also Budapest, all of Hungary and its people, and even America.

Worlds of Hungarian Writing National Literature as Intercultural Exchange


Free Download Zsolt Komáromy, Zsuzsanna Varga, "Worlds of Hungarian Writing: National Literature as Intercultural Exchange"
English | 2016 | pages: 284 | ISBN: 1611478405 | EPUB | 3,1 mb
Worlds of Hungarian Writing responds to the rapidly growing interest in Hungarian authors throughout the English-speaking world. Addressing an international audience, the essays in the collection highlight the intercultural contexts that have molded the conventions, genres and institutions of Hungarian writing from the nineteenth century to the present. They are mapping some of the ways in which a modern literature is produced by encounters with languages, cultures, and media external to its traditionally conceived boundaries. But rather than viewing intercultural exchange as an external force, the collection recognizes its enabling importance to the globalizing reception and circulation of Hungarian writing over the continuities and constraints implied by more traditional national narratives. Worlds of Hungarian Writing posits intercultural exchange as the very substance of a literary culture.Discussions of the politics of appropriation and translation, of the impact of émigré writers and critics, and of the use of world-literary models in genre-formation complement studies of the fate of western leftist critical theory in post-1989 Hungary, of the role of African-American models in contemporary Roma culture, and of the use of photography in late 20th-century prose. The volume spans a wide generic range, from the achievements of such canonical 19th-century critics and poets as József Bajza and János Arany, to neglected women authors-translators such as Theresa Pulszky, to modernist writers and critics like Antal Szerb and György Lukács, and to the contemporary novelists Péter Esterházy, Péter Nádas, and László Krasznahorkai. Each essay is an original contribution to comparative literature and to the study of this Central-European literature, but is intended to be accessible to readers unfamiliar with its traditions.

The Austro-Hungarian Forces in World War I (2) 1916-18


Free Download Darko Pavlovic, "The Austro-Hungarian Forces in World War I (2): 1916-18"
English | 2003 | pages: 48 | ISBN: 1841765953 | PDF | 8,5 mb
The part played in the Great War by the armies of the Austro-Hungarian Dual Monarchy is little known to English-speakers, perhaps because 1918 saw the complete destruction of the Empire. Yet it was of great importance, providing nearly all Central Powers forces on the Italian front, huge numbers on the Russian front, the Balkans and even a contingent in Turkey and Palestine. This second volume describes this complex organisation from the accession of Emperor Karl I in November 1916, through the victory of Caporetto and failure of the Piave offensive, to the final Armistice. The text is supported by tables and insignia charts, and illustrated with rare photographs and colourful plates.
