ABCDue June 2013springer.comConvention on International Civil AviationA CommentaryR. Abeyratne, International Civil Aviation Organization, Montreal, QC, CanadaFeatures7 Commentary on a key treaty in aviation law7 Comprehensive article-by-article explanations7 Practical commentary coupled with in-depth scholary analysisThis book is both a repertory guide to the Convention on International Civil Aviation (ChicagoConvention) as well as a legal analysis of the provisions of the treaty. It traces action taken bythe ICAO Assembly and the Council in the implementation of the Convention from the first ICAOAssembly in 1947 until 2012. Above all, the book offers a commentary on the functional andmoral fabric of the Chicago Convention, which is not only a multilateral legal instrument thatsets out basic principles of air navigation and air transport, but also serves as a moral compassthat brings the people of the world together. The teleological nature of the Chicago Conventionis reflected from the outset – from its Preamble which sets the tone and philosophy of theConvention – that aviation builds friendship and understanding among all people, to its technicalprovisions that range from rules of the air to landing at airports and customs and immigrationprocedures. The book effectively demonstrates the Aristotelian principle – that rules makepeople good by forming habits in them. Standardization, or in other words, compliance, is thedriver of the Convention that keeps aviation safe, regular, efficient and economical. To that end,this book traces and details the sustained relevance of the Chicago Convention and the effortsof ICAO and the international aviation community towards keeping air transport on track andready for its future exponential growth, both in letter and in spirit.

B. Barr, C. Morrison, New York University, NY, USA (Eds)Epilepsy is a prevalent condition affecting approximately 1% of the general population.

The book is of particular value to those working in a comprehensiveepilepsy center, as the volume provides extensive coverage of the many clinical proceduresperformed in that setting. Procedures reviewed in this volume include neuropsychologicaltesting, the Wada procedures, and brain mapping. Chapters include descriptions of the purposeof these procedures, reviews of the recent literature, clinical vignettes, in addition to concreterecommendations on how to actually conduct the procedures. Many chapters provide examplesof test forms and stimuli useful for conducting some of the procedures reviewed in this book.Neurologists and pediatricians will also find this book to be helpful, as many medical practitionersconsider the activities of clinical neuropsychologists working in their settings to be somewhatmysterious. This book makes the details of neuropsychological practice in an epilepsy settingmore accessible than what has been present in prior literature.
