Inevitably, therefore, war on the grand scale as fought by princes bore little resemblance in practice to the feuds of lesser men.
The divergence was sharpened by the application of a theoretical distinction, the fruit of Augustinian theology, amplified as the century went on by canon and Roman law reference; princes pronounced their campaigns just wars (fought against aggressors with the aim of re-establishing peace) or public wars (declared by a competent authority in the public interest), while they condemned the wars of lesser men as infractions of the peace.

As a result of some 40 sub-projects involving all the Member States (and often several groups within each one), databases of topography, soils, water resources and quality, biotopes, atmospheric emissions, climate, soil erosion and administrative boundaries have been built up for the whole Community and can be interrelated; other data sets (such as land cover, derived from satellite imagery) have already been compiled for some of the Member States.
Many achievements can be claimed by the CORINE project team.
Various aspects of the CORINE project have been described in papers by Rhind et al. (1986), Wiggins et al. (1987), Briggs and Martin (1988), Briggs and Mounsey (1989) and CEC (1990c).

If the cross-section happens to be smaller at a certain place, then the forces are larger there than at the neighbouring cross-sections, so the beam will be further constricted, etc., leading to the so-called sausage instability (Fig. 3.3(a)).
Nevertheless a few qualitative conclusions may be drawn without doing any further mathematics.
If the magnetic field happens to be larger at one side than at the other side, then the beam will be deflected towards the weaker field which makes the field even weaker, etc., leading to the so-called kink instability (Fig. 3.3(b)).

Had not his grandson Raymond V fulfilled his crusading obligation in his early youth, thereby freeing himself from the necessity of interrupting his career in the county, the principality of Toulouse might have disintegrated altogether.
Then his example lured his elder son Bertrand to Tripoli in 1112, and his younger son Alphonse Jourdain there in 1147.
William IX's crusade of 1101 brought about serious financial problems in Aquitaine which caused rapid devaluation in the hitherto stable currency; and Robert Curthose's decision to mortgage Normandy to William Rufus in order to cover his crusading expenses exacerbated a conflict over the duchy which was not settled until the death of his son William Clito in 1128.

Moreover, recent work has shown that much of the heat energy in the seas of the North Atlantic (every square kilometre of which gives off as much energy as a nuclear power station and hence influences our weather) is absorbed from sunlight in the tropical Pacific and is carried by ocean currents through the Drake Passage and up into the Atlantic.
Thus no meteorologist would attempt to forecast the weather 2 or 3 days ahead without using a mathematical model based on observations from all around the world.
Thus, to understand some local and many regional, national and continental and all global environmental events, we need to have a global perspective and hold global databases (Rhind and Mounsey 1989; Mounsey and Tomlinson 1988).

Outside Flanders, Robert's sister's marriage to Roger of Sicily was a mark of his new position in the world; like Louis VI's sister's marriage to Bohemond of Antioch, it stretched French kinship connections into the new Norman colonies, ensuring that travellers from the homeland would find a welcome in those distant parts.
He became Robert of Jerusalem to his contemporaries; his deeds were recorded in the Song of Antioch; his pious bravery totally expunged the memory of Robert the Frisian's usurpation; and after his death his son Baldwin VII harped on his father's achievement to justify his substantial use of coercion against the enemies of the church.

Moreover, as Newby (1990) has pointed out, the complexities of environmental research have created a new kind of relationship between research and policy: β€˜ in the past, … the relationship was predicated on the belief that science provided decision-makers with objective β€˜ hard ’ facts on which to base their soft, value-ridden policies ….
In these circumstances, it is scarcely surprising that there is evidence of international and interdisciplinary dispute, as Terney (1989) has chronicled in regard to IGBP.
But now we find scientists delivering only β€˜ soft ’, uncertain β€˜ facts ’ to decision-makers facing β€˜ hard ’ decisions . ’
