Fifty years after the creation of the European Common Market and fifteen years after the introduction of a chapter concerning public health in the CE Treaty, we can question about the consequences of the European law's influence on public health. To answer this question we must beforehand explain how public health was ruled by European law. In spite of uncertain legal basis, the European Community has become involved in public health questions and introduced material European law in a matter distant fiom the original concems of the European Community thus contributing to public health improvement, some States having yet no legislation regarding this matter. In spite of public health protection rema.ining, in principle, in the field of competence of the States members, the national objective of public health is at the same time infiuenced by communautarisation. The latter don't however conflict against the fact that members of an integrated system based on the fiee tratnc of goods pass public health constraints providing that these are justified, improve the health of citizens of States who wish develop the protection of their nationals ; Cinquante ans après la création du marché commun et quinze ans après l'introduction dans le Traité CE d'un titre consacré à la santé publique, on peut s'interroger sur les conséquences de l'intervention du droit communautaire en matière de protection de la santé publique. Répondre à cette interrogation implique qu'au préalable soit expliqué comment l'objectif de protection de la santé publique a été appréhendé par le droit communautaire. Il se trouve qu'en dépit de bases juridiques incertaines, la Communauté s'est intéressée de près aux questions de santé publique et que l'intervention du droit communautaire matériel dans une matière éloignée des préoccupations originelles de la Communauté contribue à l'amélioration de la protection de la santé des citoyens européens, certains Etats n'ayant pas encore de législation en la matière.

This article deals with Nehemiah 8:13-18, an episode describing the celebration of Sukkot's Festival after the reading of the Law by Ezra. It shows that those verses have been redacted by one of the last redactors of Ezra-Nehemiah. Sophisticated exegetical techniques have been used in order to present a story compatible with all legislative texts about Sukkot (Lev. 23:34-36; Lev. 23:39-43; Num. 29:12-39; Deut. 16:13-15 and Deut. 31:9-13). Furthermore, the redactor of Neh. 8:13-18 innovates introducing a daily lecture of the Law during Sukkot (Neh. 8:18). Ezra 3:4 has probably been written by the same hand.

In recent decades, extreme rains and drought have struck urban regions in Africa like never before. Nevertheless, limited information is available on which to base development of early warning systems, identification of high-risk zones, and formulation of local action plans. This book is about how to build the knowledge necessary for planning adaptation to climate change in Sub-Saharan cities. It brings together lessons learned from international development actions conducted by a number of scholars in disciplines ranging from meteorology and hydrogeology to urban planning and environmental management. Selected methods to assess the impacts of extreme weather and ecological stress are presented along with possible approaches to improve the adaptive capacity of Sub-Saharan cities through institutional measures at the local government level. The book is addressed to graduate students, researchers, and practitioners interested in enhancing their knowledge and skills in order to integrate climate change into applied research and development projects in urban Africa
