Harmonisation continues to be the key element in the Community?s approach to the establishment of an internal market and the setting of acceptable standards for manufacturing industries. Familiarity with the legal regime created by harmonisation is vital for companies within the EC and those exporting goods to it. The first edition of Harmonisation of Technical Standards in the EC provided an expert guide to this complex field, examining the EC?s framework for manufacturing standards, the role of European standards organisations (CEN, CENELAC and ETSI), the CE mark, and specific manufacturing directives. This second edition provides an essential update to fast-moving developments in technical standards and includes interpretation of:  the ?new approach? Directives the conflict between intellectual property and standardisation the implications for industry now that many of the Directives discussed in the first edition have entered or are entering into force  Combining expert commentary with key EC source materials, this book will continue to provide the key authority on this important and complex area of commercial and industrial practice. Reviews of the first edition "It provides the specialist with a point of reference and the initiate with specialist material." ?

"A one-of-a-kind treat from the golden age."― Kirkus Reviews 
From music conductor turned crime fiction novelist, Sebastian Farr, comes an epistolary tour de force that hits the perfect murderous crescendo for music and crime fiction aficionados alike. 
During a performance of Strauss' tone poem 'A Hero's Life', the obnoxious conductor, Sir Noel Grampian, is shot dead in full view of the Maningpool Municipal Orchestra. He had many enemies, musicians and music critics among them, but to be killed in mid flow suggests an act of the coldest calculation. 
Told through the letters of Detective Inspector Alan Hope to his wife, he puzzles over his findings, and other documents such as the letters of members of the orchestra and musical notation holding clues to the crime. 
This addition to the Crime Classics series is an immersive musical mystery, featuring diagrams of the orchestra arrangement and four pages of musical notation with relevance to the plot. First published in 1941 but out-of-print since, this is by a lost writer of the genre, Sebastian Farr (a pseudonym for Eric Walter Blom), a prolific Swiss-born and British-naturalised music lexicographer, music critic and writer.
