Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Youth Online chronicles the stories of young people from several countries ¿ the US, Australia, Canada, Switzerland, and Holland ¿ and their interactions in online communities over a seven-year period. It examines how young people construct their identities in various social contexts: social, fantasy, role-playing; and for various social purposes: leadership, learning, power, rebellion and romance. It explores the ways youth are deploying both visual and literary cues to develop a full sense of presence online and to effectively communicate with their peers. Using methods of textual, visual, and socio-psychological analysis, this book illuminates the ways in which young people are making sense of their own identities and their place within broader communities.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 254 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -This revised edition of Literacy as Snake Oil further investigates and critiques the commodification of literacy and education. Since the publication of the first edition, schools in the U.S. have been targeted even more as a market for private companies seeking to profit from the surveillance of NCLB (No Child Left Behind). Three chapters have been added: one that deals with the reproduction of racialized spaces during a textbook adoption, an analysis of Americäs Choice by a classroom teacher, and an analysis of the U.K.¿s literacy strategy. This book will inspire teachers to remember their political commitments to resist oppression and unethical practice and find ways to subvert teacher- (and student-) proof packages. 212 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Searching for Spirituality in Higher Education brings together eclectic points of view on spirituality, drawing upon various theoretical perspectives to frame a discussion of spirituality in higher education. Following a comprehensive review of the current literature on spirituality, chapters examine the relationship between religion and spirituality and explore related legal issues.

The final section contains rich examples that explore ways to integrate spirituality in several academic disciplines as well as in student affairs. In its entirety, the book encompasses a comprehensive review of the salient issues related to spirituality in higher education. The volume will be useful in courses on religion, nursing, business, and the humanities. 312 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Cet ouvrage présente, de manière inédite, le destin de diplomates qui furent non seulement des pionniers de la diplomatie canadienne, mais aussi des créateurs littéraires hors pair.À la fois témoins et acteurs des événements marquants du XX siècle, ces diplomates écrivains livrent des observations pittoresques et des analyses averties, voire prophétiques, tout en soulevant des interrogations partagées sur l¿identité canadienne.Sont étudiés, entre autres, les parcours de Philippe Panneton-Ringuet, présentateur de la culture francophone ; Dana Wilgress et ses pittoresques tribulations, de la Sibérie bolchevique au Japon ; Marcel Cadieux, grand voyageur au regard nomade qui instruit les jeunes diplomates ; Robert Choquette, promoteur culturel du Canada, dont la renommée littéraire se confond avec le roman de la vie ; Charles Ritchie, le fin observateur ou Douglas Valentine LePan, littérateur et économiste, aux éclats de mémoire créateurs ; et enfin Robert A.D.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Verbal aspect in Ancient Greek has been a topic of significant debate in recent scholarship. In this book, Constantine R. Campbell investigates the function of verbal aspect within New Testament Greek narrative. He argues that the primary role of verbal aspect in narrative is to delineate and shape the various ¿discourse strands¿ of which it is constructed, such as mainline, offline, and direct discourse. Campbell accounts for this function in terms of the semantic value of each tense-form. Consequently, in the search for more effective conclusions and explanations, he challenges and reassesses some of the conclusions reached in previous scholarship. One such reassessment involves a boldly innovative approach to the perfect tense-form.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 308 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -In the 1580s, almost a century after Christopher Columbus first set foot in the New World, England could not make any substantial claim to the rich territories there. Less than a century later, England had not only founded an overseas empire but had also managed to challenge her most powerful rivals in the international arena. But before any material success accompanied English New World enterprises, a major campaign of promotion was launched with the clear objective of persuading Englishmen that intervention in the Americas was not only desirable for the national economy but even paramount for their survival as a new and powerful Protestant nation-state. In this book the author explores the metaphors that dominate England¿s discourse on the New World in her attempt to conceptualize it and make it ready for immediate consumption. The creators of England¿s proto-colonial discourse were forced to make use of their rivals¿ prior experience at the same time they tried to present England as radically different, thus conferring legitimacy to English claims over territories that were already occupied. One of the most outstanding consequences of this ideological contest is the emergence of an English national self not only in opposition to the American natives they try to colonise, but also, and more importantly, in contrast to other nations that had been traditionally considered culturally similar. 246 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Our educational system is in turmoil. Many would argue that it has been assaulted and oversimplified by the right. There is growing concern that we are becoming a liberal nation-state with an increasingly anti-liberal population and an electorate that is disinterested in politics. In this globalized world, the power of capital is so great that opposition to it is often discouraged and disheartened, leaving many citizens few political precepts by which to consider their institutions. This contemporary failure of vision has opened the way for the unimpeded return of the philosophy of the free market. As a result, social and educational policies are debated almost solely in terms of how they fit with the needs of the market. Social and ethical understandings are replaced by a failed economic theory that requires a radical constraint of our political and economic choices. Compassion for the poor, the market lets us know, is wrong-headed because any interference with the labor market will always result in unfortunate economic and social consequences. Moral issues are eclipsed by market needs. In Critical Pedagogy: Where Are We Now the contributors discuss how the field of critical pedagogy should respond to such dire conditions in a way that is theoretically savvy and visionary, while concurrently contributing to the struggle to improve the lives of those most hurt by them. Critical Pedagogy is essential reading for every classroom teacher and pre-service teacher. It is also a valuable tool for use in undergraduate and graduate-level classrooms.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 424 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Basisinfrastruktur, Marketingtool, Profilierungsinstrument ¿ Besucherleitsysteme sind ein wichtiger Bestandteil des Angebotsbündels einer Destination. Wanderleitsysteme, Besucherinformationspunkte oder Hotelleitsysteme sind für Touristen in einer ihnen weniger vertrauten Umgebung bedeutsame Orientierungshilfen, etwa zum Auffinden nachgefragter Ziele. Leiteinrichtungen wie ein verlässliches und informatives Wanderleitsystem tragen zur Erhöhung der Angebotsqualität bei und eröffnen Chancen der Profilierung gegenüber Konkurrenzdestinationen. Im Fokus des Buches steht die Entwicklung einer Methodik zur Bewertung und Optimierung von Leiteinrichtungen sowie deren Anwendung am Beispiel des Biosphärenreservats Rhön. In Sinne einer ganzheitlichen Herangehensweise legt Christian Eilzer dabei ein Verständnis des Begriffs «Besucherleitsystem» zugrunde, das über eine eng gefasste Interpretation der Hinführung, Orientierung und Information durch Beschilderungen hinausgeht. Stattdessen wird das Instrument der Beschilderung mit weiterführenden Maßnahmen der Lenkung und Information verknüpft. 198 pp. Deutsch.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Focusing upon the arguments Newman uses to define Catholicism against the hostility of English protestants, this book is a reader¿s guide to the books Newman published soon after his own conversion: Mixed Congregations; Difficulties of Anglicans; Present Position of Catholics, and his two novels. While the arguments advanced in Difficulties of Anglicans and Present Position of Catholics are confrontationally direct, his novels Loss and Gain and Callista respond to the attacks of Elizabeth Harris¿ From Oxford to Rome and Charles Kingsley¿s Hypatia by the indirection which typifies Newman¿s fictional rhetoric. 220 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Partiendo del Caribe hispanohablante como zona de intercambio y diversificación lingüística, este volumen reúne enfoques muy diversos desde la perspectiva de tipólogos y especialistas en lenguas criollas, africanas y romances. El conjunto de los temas tratados abarca tanto la reorganización de categorías nominales y sistemas de partes de la oración como procesos de gramaticalización y pragmaticalización o la reorganización en el léxico como ventana hacia los contextos socio-históricos. Como la perspectiva tipológica constituye el marco para los microanálisis presentados en este volumen, las posibles zonas de convergencia destacan más claramente. Setting out from the Spanish-speaking Caribbean as a zone of linguistic exchange and diversification, this volume covers the perspectives of typologists, Africanists, Creolists and Romance linguists. The array of topics treated ranges from the reorganization of nominal categories and word-class systems to processes of grammaticalization and pragmaticalization or lexical reorganization as a window to socio-historical contexts. Since typological considerations serve as a framework for the microanalyses presented in this volume, possible converging zones stand out more clearly. 268 pp. Englisch, Spanisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -The English humour magazine Punch, or the London Charivari, which first appeared in 1841, quickly became something of a national institution with a large and multi-layered readership. Though comic in tone, Punch was deeply serious about upholding high literary and artistic standards, about dealing with serious subject-matter, and about attempting to nurture its readers¿ appreciation of the national drama and of Shakespeare¿s plays in particular. The author¿s detailed examination of Punch¿s constant advocacy of Shakespeare reveals telling new evidence concerning the ubiquitous presence of Shakespeare within Victorian culture. New research in the Punch archives and elsewhere also reveals the identities of many of the Punch authors and artists. The author shows how those who worked for Punch often subsumed their collective identities within the single persona of Mr. Punch, a fictional creation who repeatedly presents himself in both texts and graphics as a close friend and admirer of Shakespeare, a man able to remind Victorian readers constantly of the supreme literary and moral values represented by Shakespeare¿s works. 346 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -What does an Australian look like Many Australians assume that there is such a thing as an ¿ethnic¿ face, and that it indicates recent arrival or refugee status. This volume contains nine life narratives by Australians who reflect on the experience of being categorised on the basis of their facial appearance.The problem of who is ¿us¿ and who is ¿them¿ is at the heart of some of the most important challenges facing the contemporary world. Assuming that facial appearance and identity are inextricably linked makes this challenge even harder.The introduction by the editor provides the theoretical framework to these narratives. It discusses the relevance to notions of belonging and identity of the term ¿mixed race¿, and concludes that we are all mixed race, whether we look white, black or ¿ethnic¿. 188 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -This book focuses on the novel Paradiso of Cuban author José Lezama Lima (1910-1976), and in particular on the protagonist José Cemí. It examines the development of Cemí according to the three distinct phases detailed by Lezama: the ¿placentariö world of family protection, the awakening to the exterior world and the subsequent friendships made, and the eventual encounters with Oppiano Licario. Cemí¿s progression, and his growing ability to interpret and create texts, is analysed as analogous to the reader¿s progression through the novel. In this respect, both the reader and Cemí are obliged to interpret the complex symbolism according to interpretative skills acquired from the text itself. In a similar fashion, the connection between Cemí¿s ¿guide¿ Licario, and the author Lezama is investigated. By exploring these connections between reader and protagonist, author and character, the author of this work suggests a radical and hitherto unexplored approach to the text of Lezama. 292 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Pour l¿ironique Denon, modeste littérateur, grand voyageur, immense amateur d¿art et d¿antiquités devenu chargé d¿affaires de France dans les Deux-Siciles, il ne fait aucun doute qüau pied du Vésuve, il ne se passe rien de bon.Aussi de la plume de ce témoin au trait rapide sortent en rafale des dépêches accablantes pour le roi de Naples, sa colérique épouse, leur faible premier ministre, leur terrible favori, leur politique enfin qui conduirait à la catastrophe le Sud, l¿Italie et les intérêts des Bourbons. Mais à ce subalterne inquiet, plus imprécateur peut-être que négociateur, le prudent et modéré Vergennes prête depuis Versailles une oreille sceptique.Leur correspondance, publiée ici pour la première fois dans son entier, n¿est donc pas seulement la chronique d¿une explosion politique annoncée. Elle l¿est aussi d¿une incompréhension et d¿une suspicion croissantes, ainsi que des tortueuses intrigues de cour qui vont provoquer le rappel de l¿encombrant Denon. Mais pendant les trois ans de sa mission à Naples, celui-ci aura eu le temps de monter un fascinant théâtre, sur lequel défilent Joseph II, Gustave III de Suède, le cardinal de Bernis et le comte Cagliostro, et un inquiétant jeu d¿ombres, où se profilent l¿ambitieuse Catherine II, l¿impérieuse Marie-Antoinette et le toujours paternel Charles III d¿Espagne. 770 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -The book consists of 16 case-studies on issues relating to memory, the majority of which stem from a conference in April 2005 at the Institute of Advanced Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Public memory is tackled from a variety of angles and various disciplines, ranging across the humanities, the social sciences and the exact sciences. First and foremost the reader will obtain a comprehensive overview of the results of scholarship published in recent years about public memory. Second, the book provides a profound insight into how public memory works within societies of different nature and at different junctures of their histories. The volume begins by offering a glimpse into individual memory, and then goes on to discuss religious societies, ethnic groups, secular groups, institutions and larger segments of society, ultimately reaching the nation state. The authors, each in his or her own discipline, have addressed the complexities involved in the creation of public memory, the media that promote and preserve it within groups and societies, and finally the nature of memory and how it «behaves» during changing circumstances and changing regimes. 362 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -This monograph examines the contributions of landscape design to authority and to organization of public life in imperial Russia. Analyzing how tsars and nobles inscribed their political aspirations in the gardens they designed or inhabited, this study maps out a distinct trajectory in the meaning of landscape design. Based partly on archival documents, it explores the reasons for Catherine the Great¿s keen interest in landscape design. It reconstructs Grigorii Potemkin¿s attempts to transform the Crimea physically and symbolically into the garden of the empire. And it reveals the centrality of the garden for noblemen such as Andrei Bolotov and Alexander Kurakin, who expressed their political philosophy and their anxieties about unstable social relations through landscaping. The book follows the destiny of western aesthetic categories, notably of the picturesque, as they are first adopted, then transformed, and ultimately rejected. It analyzes the historical role and mythological representations of the country estate, along with Leo Tolstoy¿s fraught commitment to Yasnaya Polyana and his critique of estate mythology in War and Peace. Finally, this study exposes how the current fashion for gardening in Russia, in particular among New Russians, alludes to imperial landscaping culture in order to justify a retreat from the public sphere. 398 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -This is the first edition of the fourteenth-century Lumen anime C and of its German translation Das liecht der sel, completed in 1426 by Ulrich Putsch, Bishop of Brixen (Bressanone) in the South Tyrol. The two works are theological compendia for use in homiletic and catechetical contexts, and teach their intended readership much about basic Christian doctrine and morality, with a special emphasis on the Virgin Mary. Their didactic method makes particular use of nature exempla and of (frequently spurious) quotations from authorities. Both were highly influential in late-medieval Germany, especially in Austria and Bavaria, but their important role in conveying the insights of late-medieval Catholicism to an increasingly numerous lay audience has yet to be fully appreciated. The present edition should facilitate this and several other necessary re-assessments. Critical texts of the Latin and German versions are printed in parallel. They are preceded by an introduction which offers, for each text in turn, descriptions of its manuscripts, an account of its textual history, and an evaluation of previous research ¿ and, in respect of Das liecht der sel, also covers the biography of Ulrich Putsch. 488 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Die Erzählung vom Turmbau zu Babel stellt die Verwirrung des Denkens, Lebens und Sprechens dar. An Pfingsten entsteht ein gemeinsames Verstehen, gemeinsame Erfahrung. Babel und Pfingsten sind beides kommunikative Urszenen. In beiden Erzählungen geht es um Verstehen, um das Verstehen von Sprache. Aber was ist mit Verstehen gemeint Was geschieht beim Verstehen In welchem Zusammenhang sind Sprache, Mythos und Religion zu sehen Der Spielraum zwischen Babel und Jerusalem steht als Chiffre für die Spannung zwischen Nichtverstehen und Verstehen, Vielheit und Einheit, scheiternder und gelingender Kommunikation. Die Totalität des Mythos und die Pluralität der Sprache spielen da eine Rolle, wo das Einzelne, das Sprechen, sie zusammenbringt. 122 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -After successive waves of «enlargement», the European Union has been struggling with political integration. The project of the «constitutionalisation» of the EU was therefore launched to cater to a growing need of institutional reform, but it also intensified debates about the underlying conceptions, norms and values of the European polity as well as the meanings and identities of entire Europe.This book approaches the ongoing legal and political re-construction of the EU through a focus on the Convention on the Future of Europe (2002-2003) which produced a draft of the EU¿s first constitution. The Convention is studied from a multidisciplinary perspective integrating approaches from ethnography of institutions, political sociology and linguistically-based discourse-analysis. Drawing on extensive fieldwork and multiple textual data, the book offers an inside perspective on the multitude of ways in which politics in supranational environments works in practice. The book also contributes to the ongoing research on the discursive (re-)negotiations of meanings of Europe and European integration in the institutions of the European Union. 254 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Im Rahmen der vorsätzlichen Begehungsdelikte besteht heute nahezu Einigkeit darüber, dass der Zumutbarkeitsbegriff lediglich den Grundgedanken der Entschuldigungsgründe zum Ausdruck bringt, eine darüber hinausgehende eigenständige Begrenzung strafrechtlicher Verhaltensanforderungen mittels Zumutbarkeitserwägungen hingegen nicht anzuerkennen ist. Dieses restriktive Begriffsverständnis wird jedoch im Fall der unechten Unterlassungsdelikte aufgegeben: Hier macht die herrschende Meinung die Strafbarkeit explizit davon abhängig, dass das normgemäße Verhalten dem Täter zumutbar gewesen sei. Lässt sich diese unterschiedliche Behandlung rechtfertigen Dieser Frage geht diese Untersuchung nach. 248 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Dieses Buch beschäftigt sich mit einer umfassenden ertragsteuerlichen Würdigung der doppelstöckigen Personengesellschaft. Aus diesem Grund werden diejenigen einkommen- und gewerbesteuerlichen Themen untersucht, bei denen sich aus dem Vorliegen der Konstruktion der doppelstöckigen Personengesellschaft besondere Fragestellungen ergeben, z.B. bei Verlusten im Sinne von 15a EStG oder dem begrenzten Schuldzinsenabzug nach 4 Abs. 4a EStG. Zudem wird in die einzelnen Fragestellungen die Auswirkung von Veräußerungsvorgängen mit einbezogen. Die Untersuchung zeigt, dass nicht nur viele theoretische ¿ häufig offene ¿ Fragen existieren, sondern dass die jeweiligen Steuerberechnungen auch zahlreiche praktische Probleme mit sich bringen. 296 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Nella prima età moderna l¿educazione della donna non è una questione privata. È un¿esigenza collettiva che concorre ad assicurare la stabilità dell¿ordine civile, di cui il sacramento del matrimonio rappresenta una delle istituzioni fondamentali. Il ruolo sociale della donna è pertanto fatto oggetto di una severa trattatistica comportamentale e sottoposto a rigorose prescrizioni normative. L¿analisi della documentazione rivela una precisa volontà di controllo della femminilità, senza escludere metodi coercitivi e persino brutali, come la segregazione conventuale. Questo libro indaga la funzione letteraria e sociale della donna lungo un arco cronologico che va dal primo Quattrocento al XVII secolo, in una originale prospettiva di ricerca finalizzata a mettere in evidenza i pregiudizi e le violenze di cui figlie e mogli sono state vittime. Grazie a un duplice taglio di analisi, culturale e politico, l¿autore ricostruisce lo stretto intreccio tra la manualistica pedagogica e il disciplinamento messo in atto dal potere ecclesiastico, svelando, da un lato, le forme della ricorrente misoginia e, dall¿altro, lo stereotipo della donna di famiglia, esempio di casta sposa e devota madre. 254 pp. Italienisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -À la fin de l'Ancien Régime, les relations entre la France et la Turquie ottomane sont essentiellement fondées sur le commerce maritime. Les négociants marseillais en ont le monopole et leurs établissements au Levant prospèrent à la faveur des capitulations signées avec le sultan, et d'un réseau consulaire hiérarchisé que l'État monarchique a progressivement mis en place. Les consuls sont ainsi devenus avec les corps de négociants les instruments d'une politique économique ambitieuse. Mais celle-ci a ses limites imposées par les Turcs et par le roi lui-même puisque la résidence de ses sujets dans les Échelles n'est pas libre.La Révolution va-t-elle bouleverser cette organisation économique et sociale, ces microsociétés de Français implantés dans les ports de la Méditerranée orientale Que se passe-t-il entre l'arrivée de Choiseul-Gouffier, dernier ambassadeur du roi à Constantinople (1784), et l'expédition d'Égypte (1798) Les sources consulaires mettent en lumière ruptures et continuités, et cet équilibre si fragile, tributaire des communications maritimes que remet en cause, à partir de 1793, la guerre avec l'Angleterre. Victimes de l'arbitraire des potentats locaux, soumis à la concurrence des autres puissances et coupés de la métropole, les résidents français au Levant deviennent les ' oubliés ' de cette liberté naissante et certains d'entre eux vont pousser le Directoire à intervenir militairement pour sauver leurs intérêts sans bien percevoir les conséquences de cette politique aventureuse.Après Les Consuls de France au siècle des Lumières et Aux origines d'une alliance improbable, le ministère des Affaires étrangères poursuit avec Les oubliés de la liberté, l'étude de la présence consulaire française au XVIII e siècle. 266 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Cowboy Imperialism and Hollywood Film explores how Hollywood has employed the frontier myth to sanction imperial behavior. This cultural project integrates the myth, America's secular creation story, with Manifest Destiny, the sugar-coated impetus to conquer without compunction. Through Hollywood - the history teacher who reaches the largest audiences - the imagery of conquest has become effectively naturalized, glorified, and personified in the guise of the mythical frontiersman, such as John Wayne and Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones. This book examines eighteen movies, ranging from The Green Berets to Raiders of the Lost Ark, from Red River to Hidalgo. Others, from Full Metal Jacket to The Big Lebowski, The Ballad of Little Joe to 25th Hour, posit intriguing revisionist frontier tales.Libri GmbH, Europaallee 1, 36244 Bad Hersfeld 242 pp. Englisch.
