This volume reflects the different methods and new approaches to the study of Byzantine history that have characterized the work of Paul Speck, to whom it is dedicated, and above all, his insistence on a close reading and careful interpretation of the sources. These aims are encapsulated in the introduction by John Haldon, which gives a sense of where future studies should lead new generations of scholars. The following studies, by many of the leading authorities in their fields, look at a whole range of aspects of the history of Byzantium - its culture, theology, linguistics, literature, historiography, sigillography and art - and at the place of the Byzantine empire within the late antique and medieval worlds.

The XIV UAE Congress, which was held in Ischia on July 2000, has been dedicated to the "EC Law facing the new millenniums challenges". The most authoritative authors, professors, members of national and EC Competition Authorities gathered to discuss on themes such as "Globalisation and Competition", "New technologies and protection of intellectual property rights" and "The necessary adaptation of the procedural rules and their Community harmonisation". Furthermore, part of the works of the Congress have been focused on the effects of the EC Law on the professional ethics of lawyers. From such debate it emerged the need for a new professional figure, the "European lawyer", who would be able to face the new challenges of the European market, which becomes each day wider and more competitive. This collection represents a valuable tool for those who are engaged in their professional activity in the Community framework and reflects the contribute of lawyers and jurists in building a new Community entity; both under an economic and social point of view.

« Le monde a changé à partir du forfait Millénium. Désormais, on se parlerait sans limites. On pourrait se dire autre chose que l’essentiel. La jeunesse devenait Millénium, le monde, sous nos yeux, était en train de devenir Millénium. J’ai le Millénium Blues. Vous l’avez aussi ? Est-ce qu’on en guérira un jour ? » De la fin des années 1990 à nos jours, Zouzou promène sur son époque son regard d’enfant, d’adolescente, puis de jeune femme, et enfin de mère, tout cela dans le désordre ou presque. On suit par épisodes, par âges, le parcours tourmenté de ce personnage, reflet de sa génération, bousculée par l’arrivée du nouveau millénaire. Chaque épisode fort de la vie intime de Zouzou est lié de près ou de loin à un événement de notre vie collective. La coupe du monde 1998, le 11 septembre 2001, le second tour de l’élection présidentielle de 2002 ou encore la Grippe A... Mais si le monde change à un rythme de plus en plus rapide, une chose demeure : l’amitié qui lie Zouzou à Carmen, et qui va traverser le temps et les épreuves. Tout commence à Paris, par un accident, en août 2003, en plein cœur de la canicule...
