Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -This book aims to help answer two questions that Western philosophy has paid relatively little attention to ¿ what is injustice and what does justice require when injustice occurs Injustice and Rectification offers a taxonomy of justice, which sets forth an initial framework for a moral theory of justice and focuses on framing a conception of rectificatory justice. The taxonomy is ground for this book¿s eleven other essays, in which a diverse group of authors brings philosophical analysis to bear on the idea of injustice itself and on some important conceptual and normative issues concerning the rectification of injustice. 206 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -This volume critically examines issues of power and voice in research with children. Chapters focus on the relationship between researchers and children and explore how to more adequately represent the complexities, multiple perspectives, and understandings that emerge when the research process more fully includes children and youth. Contributors explore issues of imposition and power that are inherent in traditional research and even more problematic with children. Authors document how children¿s voices can guide us in learning about research methodologies, theories, and praxis, as well as about issues of race, identity, class, linguistic diversity and gender within larger postcolonial contexts and research traditions.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 246 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Janet L. Miller is one of the most important and influential curriculum theorists of our time. Sounds of Silence Breaking presents a broad range of her writing from the last two decades. This book contains portraits of self-complicating work that disrupt unitary and normative conceptions of women, autobiography, and curriculum. Miller reconceptualizes curriculum theory through the application of her own theories, as well as those of other important figures in the movement. She also utilizes her extensive collaborative research with K-12 teachers and juxtaposes her essays in ways that invite the reader to view them as self- and cross-interrogating. Read together, these pieces underscore how changing narrative and interpretive practices have framed and re-framed constructions of her gendered work and selves as «academic woman», «curriculum theorist», and «qualitative researcher».Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 324 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Sista Talk: The Personal and the Pedagogical is an inquiry into the questions of how Black women define their existence in a society which devalues, dehumanizes, and silences their beliefs. Placing herself inside of the research, Rochelle Brock invites the reader on a journey of self-exploration, as she and seven of her Black female students investigate their collective journey toward self-awareness in the attempt to liberate their minds and souls from ideological domination. Throughout, Sista Talk attempts to understand the ways in which this self-exploration informs her pedagogy. Combining Black feminist and Afrocentric Theory with critical pedagogy, this book frames the parameters for an Afrowomanist pedagogy of wholeness for teaching Black students.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 166 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Le terrorisme n¿est pas neuf. Malgré la mobilisation internationale à la suite des attentats du 11 septembre 2001, de récentes violences terroristes ont montré l¿urgence d¿une analyse approfondie de ce phénomène.Les contributions multidisciplinaires de cet ouvrage permettent de mieux en cerner les caractéristiques.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Intonation is increasingly becoming a central topic in understanding the phonology of spoken language. Geoffrey Barker gives a detailed account of the intonational structure of Tyrolean German, a South Bavarian dialect of German spoken in western Austria and northern Italy, using an «autosegmental-metrical» theory of intonational phonology. Based on new fieldwork data, he provides a phonetic and phonological analysis of pitch contours in Tyrolean German with the assistance of speech analysis software. He demonstrates that Tyrolean German intonation is fundamentally different from the intonation of non-southern varieties of Standard German due to its distinctive default pitch accent. This book will appeal to both intonologists and dialectologists with its illuminating depiction of the prosodic structure of this southern dialect of German. The accompanying CD enhances the reader¿s experience with speech samples corresponding to the appropriate figures in the book. 200 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -This study deals with the Islamic financial system and investigates the financial instruments utilized in it. Apart from the problems related to the prohibition of interest, the suggested concept for the Islamic financial system could not be applied in practice. Profit and Loss-Sharing instruments have been utilized on a small scale so far and it would be very difficult to increase the attractiveness of these financial instruments without easing Islamic legal restrictions or at least reconsidering relevant issues from both, the Islamic socio-economic and ethical viewpoint, as well as the position of conventional finance. An improvement of efficiency may not be possible without taking a fresh look at Islamic injunctions while considering at the same time contemporary financial realities and needs such as investment opportunities, risk diversification and regulatory issues. 194 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -The literary works of J. R. R. Tolkien, especially The Lord of the Rings, are marked by their author¿s professional interest in the history of English. This study shows how philological features such as nomenclature, archaism and echoes of Old English poetic forms have been reflected in a selection of published translations into Germanic and Romance languages. It demonstrates how current translation theory based on a hermeneutic approach can explain translators¿ compensation techniques such as the use of analogous historical resources in the target languages, and how these can preserve literary and poetic effects. In doing so, it also offers a survey of characteristic stylistic features in the source text. 216 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Restauratoren können den vielfältigen Anforderungen in ihrem Beruf heute nicht mehr allein dadurch gerecht werden, daß sie auf die in ihrer Ausbildung gewonnenen Kenntnisse und auf die Erfahrungen langer Berufsjahre zurückgreifen.Sie benötigen ein an theoretischen Grundlagen und praktischen Fertigkeiten geschultes wissenschaftliches Selbstverständnis und Instrumentarium, das ihnen hilft, in komplexen Entscheidungssituationen adäquat zu handeln und ihre Entscheidungen wirksam nach außen zu vertreten. Neben naturwissenschaftlichen Analysen und kunstwissenschaftlichen Untersuchungen werden immer stärker auch ethische Maximen berücksichtigt und als Orientierung für Restaurierungsentscheidungen herangezogen.Die vorliegende Arbeit stellt einen Versuch dar, den Platz der Restaurierungsethik innerhalb der Konservierungs- und Restaurierungswissenschaft zu bestimmen und mit Hilfe der angewandten Wissenschaftsethik eine theoretische Grundlegung dieser noch jungen Teild isziplin vorzunehmen.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 234 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -La mode est aujourd¿hui considérée comme un domaine exclusivement féminin. Pourtant il n¿en a pas toujours été de même. Après des siècles de mode partagée, le XIX siècle voit ce moment de bascule qui écarte les hommes de son champ et le réserve aux femmes. Au même moment, la garde-robe exprime également le passage de l¿ancien régime à la société bourgeoise et capitaliste, et devient l¿emblème par excellence de la société de consommation.La littérature dix-neuvièmiste est un miroir particulièrement fidèle des péripéties diverses de cette histoire. Dans cet ouvrage, l¿auteur examine le thème de la mode dans quelques romans-clefs des romanciers réalistes et naturalistes ¿ Balzac, Flaubert et Zola ¿ qui ont fait de la mode et du vêtement une partie intégrale de leurs ¿uvres. Cette analyse expose les deux directions principales de cette intégration: la fonction littéraire des vêtements, et d¿autre part, le pouvoir de la mode à exposer les grands mouvements de pensée du XIX siècle. 396 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Ein Blick auf aktuelle Konzernsteuerquoten, die häufig keinen oder nur einen unzureichenden Zusammenhang zwischen ausgewiesener Steuerlast und Konzernergebnis vor Steuern dokumentieren, verdeutlicht die notwendige Erläuterung dieser unternehmensspezifischen Kennzahl. Die nach DRS 10 und IAS 12 verpflichtend zu erstellende Tax Reconciliation, die als Überleitungsrechnung zwischen erwarteter und ausgewiesener Steuergröße bestehende Verwerfungen anhand einzelner Überleitungspositionen offen legt, übernimmt in diesem Zusammenhang eine explanatorische Informationsfunktion. Im Rahmen der Untersuchung der Tax Reconciliation werden die einzelnen Bestandteile der Überleitungsrechnung in Form von Konzernsteuerquote, Referenzsteuersatz und Überleitungspositionen eingehend analysiert. Abschließend werden mögliche Auswirkungen auf konzernsteuerpolitische Maßnahmen erörtert. 246 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Dass das Interesse an dem rätselhaften Findling Kaspar Hauser nicht abflaut, bezeugen allein die in den letzten Jahren unternommenen und der Öffentlichkeit ausführlich vorgestellten Versuche, seine Identität mittels modernster technischer Verfahren aufzudecken. In dieser Studie wird nach den Ursachen dieser unvergleichlichen, mittlerweile über 170-jährigen Aufnahme gefragt. Bevor die literarischen Grundzüge und Höhepunkte sowie bislang von der Forschung kaum beachtete Erscheinungen der Kaspar-Hauser-Rezeption zur Sprache kommen, werden im Rahmen einer kulturhistorischen Betrachtung die Etappen des auf den Findling bezogenen Mythisierungsprozesses nachgewiesen und detailliert begründet. 332 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Angeregt durch die immer wiederkehrende Diskussion in der Öffentlichkeit über die Zunahme von Gewalt, Hass und Pornographie im Fernsehen versteht sich die Untersuchung als ein Beitrag zur Ermittlung der Bedeutung und der Funktion des Jugendschutzes in Deutschland. Unter Berücksichtigung empirisch-soziologischer Erkenntnisse befasst sich die Arbeit mit der Überprüfung der Verfassungsmäßigkeit der seit 1.04.2003 geltenden materiellen Jugendschutzbestimmungen des Jugendmedienschutz-Staatsvertrags. Die Untersuchung geht dabei insbesondere der Frage nach, ob und inwieweit die materiellen Jugendschutzbestimmungen im privaten Fernsehen in Deutschland die verfassungsrechtlich gebotenen Grenzen ausreichend beachten. 340 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Bereits 4% aller jungen Erwachsenen im Alter von 12 bis 25 Jahren gaben 2001 an, Konsumerfahrungen mit der Partydroge Ecstasy (MDMA) zu haben. MDMA liegt nach Cannabis damit auf Platz zwei in der Rangliste der am häufigsten konsumierten illegalen Drogen. Im Tierversuch konnte gezeigt werden, daß MDMA in der Lage ist, selektiv Neuronen des serotonergen Systems zu schädigen, und es existieren ernste Hinweise dafür, daß sich die neurotoxische Wirkung von MDMA auch beim Menschen entfaltet. Aufgrund der begrenzten Anzahl und der vielen methodologischen Schwächen früherer Humanstudien konnte bislang nicht sicher geklärt werden, wie weit die Beeinträchtigungen der neuropsychologischen Leistungsfähigkeit von MDMA-Konsumenten reichen und welche neurobiologische Basis diesen Defiziten zugrunde liegt. Diese Arbeit gibt zunächst einen umfassenden Überblick über den derzeitigen Wissensstand und versucht die offenen Fragen zur Neurotoxizität von MDMA experimentell zu beantworten. 268 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Francis Bacons Werk ist in der Pädagogik kaum rezipiert worden. Dies obwohl Bacon der Begründer einer weitreichenden Theorie ist, welche eine paradigmatische Veränderung der Lern- und Lehrkultur fordert, die mit der Formel «vom Dogma zum Experiment» umschrieben werden kann. Was heute unter entdeckendem, emanzipatorischem oder lebenslangem Lernen gehandelt wird, geht auf weiten Strecken auf Bacon zurück, ohne dass dies gebührend beachtet worden wäre. Diese Studie beleuchtet dieses auffällige Übersehen. Das geschieht nicht im Sinne einer Rezeptionsgeschichte, sondern anhand einer Untersuchung der Baconschen Konzeption der Generierung und Vermittlung von Wissen sowie ihrer Verbreitung. Hierzu werden in einem ersten Teil Bacons zentrale Konzepte rekonstruiert und deren pädagogischen Dimensionen herausgearbeitet. Im Zentrum dabei steht das «New Learning», das Lernen als einen unabschliessbaren Prozess definiert. Die Konfrontation dieses neuen Lernens mit zeitgenössischen Theorien der Gelehrsamkeit, Bacons Kritik am höheren Bildungswesen sowie seine Reformvorschläge bilden den Gegenstand des zweiten Teils. Die Kontextualisierung von Bacons «New Schooling» sowie das Ausleuchten des bis heute existenten Spannungsfelds von wissenschaftlicher Bewegung und pädagogischer Reform runden die Studie ab. 524 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Horoskope bilden zwar seit den 1950er Jahren eine feste Größe in der deutschen Presse, sie sind aber von der Textlinguistik bisher eher stiefmütterlich und nur unter Einzelaspekten untersucht worden. Die Arbeit schließt diese Lücke: Vorgestellt wird ein Modell für holistische Textsortenanalysen, das in einem integrativen Ansatz textexterne und textinterne Faktoren miteinander verbindet. Der Anwendung des Modells auf die Horoskope liegen Texte aus verschiedenen Zeitschriftentypen (Frauen-, Jugend- und Programmzeitschrift sowie Nachrichtenmagazin) zugrunde, um nicht nur die Gemeinsamkeiten der Textsorte «Horoskop», sondern auch zeitschriftenspezifische Besonderheiten herauszuarbeiten. Abgerundet wird die Arbeit durch einen Ausblick auf das didaktische Potenzial der Horoskope. 296 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Fast 15 Jahre nach dem Tod Ernst Rudolf Hubers unternimmt diese Monographie eine inhaltliche Auseinandersetzung mit einem der bedeutendsten Staats- und Verfassungsrechtler des 20. Jahrhunderts. Um auch die historischen und persönlichen Umstände jener herausragenden Karriere erfassen zu können, beginnt die Arbeit mit einem biographischen Einstieg und gelangt dann zu einer umfangreichen Einordnung des bis 1945 geschaffenen Werkes. Hubers letztlich aussichtsloser Versuch, das deutsche Staatsrecht auch nach 1933 noch einer juristischen Ordnung zu unterwerfen, wird im Verlauf der Untersuchung immer wieder in Beziehung zu vergleichbaren Entwürfen rechtswissenschaftlicher Zeitgenossen gesetzt. 360 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Theatrical tragedy, like all other major civic institutions of the fifth-century B.C. Athenian democratic patriarchy, was exclusively male. The course of western drama changed when women characters (played by transvestite male performers) were introduced. Gender and Politics in Greek Tragedy explores themes and issues of gender identity and political ideology in plays by Aeschylus ( Suppliant Maidens , Oresteia ), Sophocles ( Antigone , Philoctetes ), and Euripides ( Alcestis , Medea , Orestes , Helen , Iphigeneia in Aulis , Bakkhai ). This is the first book-length treatment of the themes of gender and politics in ancient Greek tragedy. 158 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Socially Constructed School Violence: Lessons from the Field argues that the way we understand what constitutes violence is socially constructed, and that people from different social locations, that is, gender, race, social class, geographic location, and so on, will have varied perspectives on what is violent. Based on ethnographic work at an urban alternative school for students expelled for bringing weapons to school and an affluent suburban school eighteen miles away, this book describes various ways violence can be constructed. Specifically, this book discusses personal and structural forms of violence that students, teachers, administrators, and other school staff encounter. Using powerful examples from the ethnographic analysis, this book describes some of the valuable lessons learned about how we can work to prevent school violence. 194 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In Writing at the Edge, Jeff Park invites the reader to see personal writing as the metaphorical space where individuals negotiate meaning with others and the world. Drawing upon writing process theory, curriculum theory, narrative theory, and many years of practice, this book explores writing in relation to the «self», but dares to include the multiplicities and contradictions of social and cultural constructions of gender, power, and politics. Park uses the metaphor of the «riparian zone» to reconsider the value of writing as a site of negotiation of self, culture, and society. This book is the best of curriculum theory and narrative inquiry, as well as a stunning invitation to those working in language arts, writing, and teacher education to reconsider personal writing as a place of great diversity, beauty, and paradox. 182 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -What does it mean to have high expectations for five-year-old learners In one of the author's classrooms, children are treated as authors, as world citizens, and as confident, responsible community and family contributors. Kindergartners publish their own stories and keep them on the same shelves as books from libraries and bookstores. In addition to books, these young students also produce their own plays, thank-you cards, and math problems. Zaragoza, Dwyer, and Brownie (the class mascot) invite new teachers along as they take one class of children through a month-by-month journey of authorship, literacy development, poetry, positive interaction, and imagination. This book is appropriate for both undergraduate and graduate students of education, early childhood, and teachers of English-language learners. It can also be of value to scholars of constructivist and/or critical theory. 242 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -As different and significant peoples have joined its population, the United States has undergone various conceptions of education - its definition, purpose, content, and pedagogy, in primary and secondary schools as well as colleges and universities - and education for the twenty-first century will require curricular change. The quest for an inclusive curriculum - and the politics involved in that quest - is the continuing pursuit of a strategem that both acknowledges and utilizes the racially, ethnically, politically, economically, and linguistically diverse groups, along with the dominant majority, in order to support and maintain diversity, tolerance, and, ultimately, community. The Politics of Curricular Change fills an important void in the existing literature on the relationship of multicultural curricular change to race, hegemony, and power as independent constructs. Given the scant amount of research on how these constructs serve as facilitators of curricular change, this book is timely in its reassessment of the requirements of multiculturalism, and will appeal to national- and state-level policy makers, higher education officials, administrators, faculty, researchers, and the national citizenry.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 268 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book discusses the emergence of democracy's modernizing force in an exiled community with a political history based on a feudal theocracy. Since his exile almost forty years ago, the Dalai Lama and his government-in-exile have steered this fledgling democratic community toward the fulfillment of his dream of converting a theocracy to a democracy. The establishment of a tripartite government with separate powers and the development of a framework for a future democratic polity - if and when Tibetans regain their land - is a testament to the ongoing democratizing revolution. 136 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This study marks a decisive advance in Longfellow studies. Instead of making do with documenting the poet's literary contacts in a biographical context, as has been the custom in the past, the authors inquire into the uses he made of European works for the English-American literature in the making. Focusing on Longfellow's widely famous poem, Evangeline, and the internationally most ambitious poet's anthology, Tales of a Wayside Inn, they demonstrate that the poet-professor's program and practice of an integrative, transnational American poetry that includes translations adapts the model that the Schlegel Brothers recommended for German literature - a cultural late-comer as was that of the U.S.A. In the process, they identify a number of correlative works so far overlooked. 172 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This study presents the formative period of the English novelist E. M. Forster (1879-1970) with a special stress on the usage of symbolism in his early fiction. The book offers a new approach to Forster's symbolism derived from the theoretical studies of Michael Riffaterre and his concept of symbolic systems - subtext and syllepsis. The author presents the most important symbols as used in the discussed novels and their usage in Forster's later works. A further part of the study concentrates on the issue of spatial symbolism. The symbolism of the Italian novels A Room with a View and Where Angels Fear to Tread is presented as an artistic means for the introduction of social issues especially important for the writer, as well as a method of concealed presentation of issues which for social and personal reasons Forster could not include openly in his works such as homosexuality.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 144 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This book focuses on the current reform processes of the armed forces and the recent development of civil-military relations in Europe. Major trends in the development of modern military organizations are examined in detail. The spectrum of the analysis ranges from the abolition of the draft in most European countries to aspects of the organizational design of today's military organizations, the multicultural and multinational framework of future military missions, and the so-called process of «feminization» of military units. The analysis is based on a number of case studies (e.g., Belgium, France, Germany, Slovenia, Spain, the Netherlands, etc.) and is primarily descriptive and comparative.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 180 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -What is the nature of power in Racinian tragedy Few questions have generated such widespread critical disagreement. This study looks beyond the conventional pageant of political power in the plays by exploring tensions inherent in the very concept of power. Each chapter elucidates how Racine's power relationships are concentrated in the question of language. His characters seek to discover, channel and control the thoughts of others by means of a careful manipulation of the word. The limits of language and the way it can be distorted and controlled rather than its expressiveness are shown to be crucial to Racine's power struggles. This book examines Racine's portrayal of the disintegration of the processes of thought by means of linguistic engineering, showing how it mirrors the absolutist policies of Louis XIV and foreshadows more recent anxieties about the use and abuse of language in our own time. It therefore provides a new reading of Racine's use of language which challenges previous critical responses. The emphasis throughout is on close engagement with the text. 142 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This study of Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) examines the poet's understanding of the malleable nature of identity, while addressing the question of Rilke's place in literary history. In line with contemporary literary theory which views the 'self' as a societal 'construction' and strategic narrative device, this study explores Rilke's preoccupations with identity in his work, as he investigates the disintegration of the subjective self in the modern world. Rilke's re-readings of the mythological figures of Orpheus and Narcissus in modern psychological terms, as well as in terms of traditional poetics, are keys not only to his poetics and his changing understanding of 'self', but also to his evolving critique of society. This study tracks how Rilke's Orphic work disengages traditional patterns of perceptions, not only to challenge fidelity to history, but also to recover the power of traditional elements from that history to help articulate subjectivity in new terms. 270 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Gender criticism has recently been applied to a wide range of ancient and modern literature; such an approach can reveal many previously unrecognized attitudes among earlier writers. Chaucer has long been recognized as a writer with psychological sensitivities. This book attempts to show that Chaucer has demonstrated his sensitivities on gender issues by recognizing and revising many of the gender stereotypes familiar from his time. It is likely that he was influenced in these ideas by an early feminist writer from France, Christine de Pizan, who complained about the Romance of the Rose as an embodiment of gender stereotyping. Chaucer's later works particularly show an awareness of gender issues that has not been entirely recognized and which is at variance with ideas in the Romance , which he had translated into English during his youthful period. 166 pp. Englisch.
