Complex Dispute Resolution

This radical revision of Professor Bullen's acclaimed and widely used text provides an introduction to modern seismological theory, with emphasis on both the physical models and the mathematical descriptions of earthquakes and their sources. The essential core of the earlier editions has been retained, particularly the tensor treatment of elasticity, seismic wave travel-time analysis and density in the Earth, although these parts of the text have been brought up to date and expanded. The new part of the book reflects on how the study of earthquakes, seismic waves and seismic risk has been broadened in the past two decades. Thus, this edition includes introductory theory of earthquake sources, seismic wave travel through complex geological zones and viscous and anisotropic media, vibrations of the whole Earth, strong-motion seismology and earthquake prediction and risk. There is an emphasis on statistical and numerical procedures and problems of resolution in inverse theory. Modern clas

訴訟是一隻很奇特兇惡的猛獸，它看似平凡，讓爭議人很輕易地使用它來伸張正義及懲罰他人。可是，一旦訴諸法律，爭議人是很難全身而退，不受任何傷害的。訴訟破壞彼此的關係，加深仇恨，無助解決紛爭，最終導致兩敗俱傷，亦可能令爭議人傾家蕩產。為了避免訴訟，爭議人可選擇調解替代，以解決糾紛。調解是解決紛爭、締結雙贏甚至是多贏的白武士。本書介紹了調解和調解所需的法律知識和技巧，鼓勵更多人士參與專業調解，減少日益繁重的訴訟及它們所帶來的負面影響，締造和諧社會，達至「以和為貴」的理想境界。《解決衝突與調解技巧》第三版比較了「評估調解模式」與「促進調解模式」兩個方法的利弊，並說明了香港和內地撰寫和解協議書在法律上的異同。第三版亦新增數個章節，解釋何謂虛假調解及其刑責輕重、律師在調解的執業行為規範以及執行商事調解的法律基礎。

在ADR（Ahemative Dispute Resolution）爭議解決方式之中，仲裁這一有著深厚歷史積淀的傳統爭議解決方法歷來發揮著最重要的作用。早在1889年，英國人為了解決本國商人和其他歐洲國家商人在國際貿易上的紛爭，頒布實施了第一部仲裁法，標志著作為訴訟之外的爭議解決方法，商事仲裁已逐漸喪失了其原始的純粹民問習慣的性質，進入了國家法律調整的階段。經過近兩個世紀的發展，尤其是第二次世界大
