Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book presents conceptual framework and fundamental principles of social protection in Islamic Law. According to Islamic law, the right to live is a primary human right. This right, granted by God, begins with the right of people to come to Earth and is thus revealed with God¿s creation of man. According to Islamic law, social protection carries great importance in terms of meeting the needs regarding the preservation of zarûriyyât-¿ hamse (life, property, intellect, lineage, religion), whose protection is imperative, primarily for the life and maintenance of assets of all humans and for the realization of the right to life. In order for social protection to be able to be provided all over the world, according to Islamic law, the approaches and fundamental principles regarding the outlook on man, property, and life of the religion of Islam must be known and implemented. However, the implementation of these fundamental principles and approaches carry importance to the degree of the religiosity of people and their dependence on religious provisions and will reach the desired results. 92 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -What Shakespeare Stole From Rome analyses the multiple ways Shakespeare used material from Roman history and Latin poetry in his plays and poems. Three important tragedies deal with the history of the Roman Republic: Coriolanus, Julius Caesar, and Antony and Cleopatra. From the tragedies of Seneca, Shakespeare took the theme of evil in the ruler, as in Richard III and Macbeth. The comedies of Plautus lie behind the early play The Comedy of Errors. From Ovid, Shakespeare took nearly all his Greek mythology, as in the miniature epic Venus and Adonis. Shakespeare, who knew Latin very well, introduced some 600 new Latin-based words into English. 196 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Ever since ancient times, diplomacy has always been the most important form of communication used by state and non-state actors in the process of shaping their mutual relations for making desired non-conflictual state sustainable while protecting their securities and preserving their interests without fighting at all levels. Diplomacy is also regarded as a process which should be conducted in many tracks concurrently. Public diplomacy, as one of those tracks, can be defined as the efforts conducted by state actors towards the foreign public audiences in order to bring multidimensional differences together on common grounds, while opening space to the traditional diplomacy through common social, cultural and humanitarian values. This book compiles the contributions presented at the conference 'The Role of Public Diplomacy in Bringing the Conflicted Communities Together,' organized by Yunus Emre Institute Cultural Diplomacy Academy and Global Public Diplomacy Network, as well as through the valuable contributions of globally recognized academics, diplomats, and practitioners from around the world. The book concentrates mainly on hands-on public diplomacy solutions and discusses public diplomacy as for the strategic engagement process with the conflicted communities. 76 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Das Buch stellt die sich wandelnden Interessen der europäischen Großmächte während des Ersten Weltkriegs gegenüber einer sich erst herausbildenden polnischen Frage dar. Es zeigt, wie die Mittelmächte und die Entente-Mächte Polen zunächst lediglich instrumental betrachteten. Auch den verschiedenen, mitunter gegensätzlichen Artikulationen und Aktionen der politischen und militärischen Lager in Polen selbst gibt der Autor breiten Raum. Zu den markantesten innerpolnischen Gegenspielern wurden nicht erst gegen Kriegsende das von Józef Pilsudski geführte Unabhängigkeitslager und das Polnische Nationalkomitee unter Roman Dmowskis Führung. 356 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The double canoe constituted the backbone of Polynesian culture, since it enabled the Polynesians to enter and conquer the Pacific. In Tonga, a center of Polynesian navigation, two types were known: the tongiaki and the kalia. Contrary to most contributions, the author argues that the Tongans were not only the Western Pacific masters of navigation, but also of canoe designing. Typical of Polynesian canoes was the sewing technique which can be traced back to ancient India but was also practiced in Pharanoic Egypt and southern Europe. The legend of the magnetic mountain is to be viewed in this context. Oceanic navigation, which declined during the 19th century, had developed its own means of orientation at sea, including astronomy and meteorology. 178 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Research indicates that parents play an essential role in their children¿s musical and language development. Moreover, neurocognitive studies point to the similarities between music and language processing. Based on the previous literature, the present study focuses on the Turkish immigrant parents¿ beliefs and practices regarding bilingualism and music education. Interviews, observations and questionnaires are applied to generate qualitative data. Findings indicate that the participants¿ positive beliefs are influenced by distal factors, such as cultural features, their own backgrounds, and socio-demographical characteristics. However, the lack of their theoretical knowledge regarding the subjects seems to have a negative impact on these beliefs. 178 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Unsettling the Gap: Race, Politics and Indigenous Education examines pressing issues of inequality in education. The notion of gap¿and the need to close it¿is used widely in public and policy debates to name the nature and scope of disadvantage. In the competitive world of education, gaps have become associated with students who are seen to be 'falling behind,' 'failing' or 'dropping out.' A global deficit discourse is, therefore, mobilised and normalised. But this discourse has a history and is deeply political. Unsettling the Gap examines this history and how it is politically activated through an analysis of the 'Australian Closing the Gap in Indigenous Disadvantage' policy. In this policy discourse the notion of gap serves as a complex and multiple signifier, attached to individuals, communities and to national history.In unravelling these diverse modalities of gap, the text illuminates the types of ruling binaries that tend to direct dynamics of power and knowledge in a settler colonial context. This reveals not only the features of the crisis of 'Indigenous educational disadvantage' that the policy seeks to address, but the undercurrents of a different type of crisis, namely the authority of the settler colonial state. By unsettling the normalised functions of gap discourse the book urges critical reflections on the problem of settler colonial authority and how it constrains the possibilities of Indigenous educational justice.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 224 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The assessment of the challenges of digital platforms for cultural industries raises many different issues. How platforms choices in content pricing affect the overall value of cultural markets, especially in the case where content just aim at favoring devices¿ sales How are revenues shared between platforms and content right holders Do creators and artists all benefit from the growth of digital platforms How usual business models of cultural industries have to adapt to the digital paradigm Should we observe rather a reinforcement of the star system or the emergence of a long tail What is the impact on market concentration Could we expect an increase or a decrease in cultural diversity What is the role played by recommender systems, playlists and algorithms in influencing consumers¿ choices How to implement efficient public policies given the transnational dimension of digital platforms The various papers gathered in this book contribute further to these different topics with a focus on empirical issues. The first part gathers the contributions dealing with the analysis of the impact that digital platforms have on the incumbent or legacy players of the original value chain of content industries: content providers, live entertainment producers, consumers, etc. The second part opens the black box of the ecosystem of digital platforms by studying competition among them and among the business models they adopt, as well as the conditions for the emergence of new players.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 186 pp. Englisch, Französisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Während der Rechtstaat versucht, die Diskrepanz zwischen Anzeigen und Verurteilungen bei Vergewaltigungsvorwürfen mitunter durch neue Gesetze zu schließen, erklärt ein Forschungszweig der Sozialpsychologie diese hingegen mit der Vergewaltigungsmythenakzeptanz auch durch Polizeikräfte. Zwar belegt die umfangreiche Vergewaltigungsmythenforschung, dass die Vergewaltigungsmythenakzeptanz die Urteilsfindung von Testpersonen beeinflusst, doch zählten Polizeikräfte bisher nicht zu den analysierten Personengruppen. Im Rahmen dieses Buches geht die Autorin der Frage nach, inwiefern die wohlmögliche Vergewaltigungsmythenakzeptanz bei Polizeikräften das polizeiliche Handeln beeinflusst und welche Auswirkungen dies auf den Fallschwund bei Vergewaltigungsvorwürfen haben kann.Peter Lang Group AG Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaft, Place de la gare 12, 1003 LAUSANNE 172 pp. Deutsch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Die Dynamik von Inklusion und Exklusion ist in vielen gesellschaftlichen Bereichen wirksam. Kulturelle Konflikte, politische Spannungen sowie mediale Identitäts- und Fremdheitskonstruktionen erzeugen gesellschaftliche Spaltungen und verhindern, dass Menschen an politischen Entscheidungen, Bildungsprozessen, sozialer Sicherheit und Wohlstand partizipieren können.Mit welchen Methoden die komplexen Ursachen von Exklusion erklärt werden können, welche Lösungsansätze unterschiedliche wissenschaftliche Disziplinen entwickeln und inwiefern Prozesse gesellschaftlicher Veränderung angestoßen werden können, ist Thema der in diesem Band versammelten Beiträge.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 236 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Place, Power, Media: Mediated Responses to Globalization is a compelling, interdisciplinary exploration of how media practices and communication rituals are connected to larger economic, social, and political processes in a globalizing world. Through a rich variety of media texts, authors examine how daily, mundane, and interpersonal processes help shape 'our' place in the world, a placement that is integrally connected to social relations at the global level. Denoting a sense of geography as well as demarcating diverse social positionings, place is understood as the result of historical and contemporary discourses occurring on a range of scales and within different cultural, aesthetic, and political contexts. The authors argue that the construction, restoration, configuration, and representation of place is an important project at multiple levels; what meanings are derived from it, what meanings are infused, who the key players are, what power struggles are inherent-these issues offer rich areas of study for global media scholars interested in the place-making powers of media. 232 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Beethoven¿s seventy-two settings of traditional Irish airs constitute his most prolific output in any genre. The arrangements were commissioned in the early nineteenth century by the Scottish editor and publisher, George Thomson, who sent airs, but no texts, to Beethoven. Poetry, mostly by less well-known poets, was attached to the finished settings before publication by Thomson, and perhaps therein lies the reason why the songs never achieved the popularity which they deserve: many of the poems have been judged to be of inferior quality. In this edition, the first in which all Beethoven¿s Irish folksong settings are published together, the late baritone, broadcaster and musicologist, Tomás Ó Súilleabháin, selected texts, mostly by Burns and Moore, which he felt were more appropriate to the airs and to Beethoven¿s settings.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 200 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Dieses Buch gibt einen Überblick über die Rolle des Deutschen als plurizentrische Sprache am Beispiel der österreichischen Varietät des Deutschen. Dabei werden Aspekte wie Diminutive, der historisch-kulturelle Hintergrund oder die Zensur der österreichischen Literatur (Austriazismenwegfall) angeführt sowie weitere Funktionen der österreichischen Varietät herausgearbeitet. Nach einer Analyse von Wörterbüchern wird auf die nötigen Konsequenzen für die Sprachdidaktik (plurizentrische Lehrbücher) und Translatorik (plurizentrisch geschulte Übersetzer) eingegangen. Eventuelle Kontroversen in der Auffassung, ob und inwieweit das Deutsche eine plurizentrische Sprache sei, werden schlussendlich durch die Theorie der anthropozentrischen Linguistik ausgeräumt. 318 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -There is no book exactly like Fifty Years of Interdisciplinary Teaching in Academe: One Professor¿s Pedagogical Tips and Reflections. Very few professors have taught for half a century. Even fewer have written books on pedagogy from a personal narrative perspective and in plain English, without a particular cause to promote or axe to grind. Countless numbers of books have ruminated on the past, present, and future of higher education, but few authors have written their books as memoirs meant for both an academic and general audience. Few actually offer concrete tips drawn from years of personal experience for classroom teaching, mentoring, constructing curricula, courses, and programs, working with colleagues, and creating an interdisciplinary philosophy of educational theory and practice. Few of these books can be generalized to a number of helping professions. Teaching and learning happen in all the human service professions, not just in the American university.This book is grounded largely in author Robert J. Nash¿s experiences, both positive and negative. Nash is less interested in propounding or expounding and more concerned with narrating his always-evolving stories of being an interdisciplinary professor who has experienced both success and struggle but who has always emerged as inspired and rejuvenated by his work, and the work of his students, in higher education. This book is a personal-narrative celebration of all that is and can be wonderful about the American university, including students, colleagues, and administrators. Nash concentrates on possibility rather than on liability but strives always to present an honest picture of higher education (both its strengths and weaknesses) and his place in it throughout the decades. The result of Fifty Years of Interdisciplinary Teaching in Academe is a vote of confidence for faculty, staff, and students.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 252 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Troubling Method seeks to extract narrative inquiry from method. The shift to a post-humanist, post-qualitative moment is not just another stage in modernism that seeks to 'improve' knowledge production, but is a shift to understanding research as an ontology, a way of being in the world, rather than a mode of production. Fundamental assumptions of research: method, data, analysis, and findings are deconstructed and reconfigured as a mode of relational intra-action.Troubling Method is constructed as a dialogue between the three authors, focusing on their work as qualitative, narrative researchers. The authors revisit six previously published works in which they grapple with the contradictions and ironies of engaging in pragmatist, critical, and feminist qualitative research. After a lengthy introduction which problematizes 'method,' the book is divided into three sections, each with two chapters that are bracketed by an introduction to the issues discussed in the chapters and then a 'dialogue interlude' in which the authors deliberate what makes possible the questions they are raising about method and narrative research. The three sections attend to the central premises of 'narrative research as being': 1) relationships, 2) listening, and 3) unknowing.Troubling Method is ideal for introductory or advanced courses in qualitative research, narrative inquiry, educational research, and those aimed at employing critical theories in qualitative and narrative inquiry.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 252 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Making Our World: The Hacker and Maker Movements in Context describes and situates the political, historical, national, and organizational elements of hacking and making. Hackers and makers are often mythologized, leading to people misunderstanding them as folk heroes for the modern age. In response, this book describes and critiques these movements from a variety of interdisciplinary perspectives to help readers appreciate their worldwide scope and highly localized interpretations. Making Our World is essential reading for students and scholars of technology and society, particularly those interested in social movements and DIY cultures.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 332 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Using the professional life of psychologist-educator Thomas N. McCarthy as a touchstone, Developing the Whole Person: A Practitioner¿s Tale of Counseling, College, and the American Promise explores the achievements and difficulties of postwar counseling psychologists and psychologist-administrators in American higher education. They advanced a whole person development model for student life inside and outside the classroom, despite skepticism from faculty and other administrators and the emergence of a potent student freedom model in the late 1960s that insisted students were adults. These two models have persisted in tension with one another ever since.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 374 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Le loisir sportif est tellement ancré dans les habitudes des Camerounais qüil a réussi à s¿imposer dans les calendriers hebdomadaires. Mais Quel sens revêt cet activisme À l¿encontre du paradigme dominant suivant lequel les sociétés modernes vouent un culte au loisir libre et désintéressé, cet ouvrage soutient que la pratique du sport collectif, notamment le football et le basketball ¿ respectivement «deux-zéro» et «bonbon» ¿ ne repose pas simplement sur des besoins de loisir et de divertissement. L¿arène ludo-sportive camerounaise apparaît comme un espace stratégique de déploiement de multiples rationalités sociales et de nombreux enjeux qui confrontent et associent des interactants (négociation des espaces d¿insertion professionnelle, des lieux de transactions politiques et sexuelles, etc.); elle est un terrain de jeu où des acteurs viennent se rencontrer pour échanger des ressources et des capitaux. Echappant à la lecture exclusivement récréalogique du loisir, l¿ouvrage documente avec une grande précision comment, dans un pays d¿Afrique de l¿Ouest tel que le Cameroun, la pratique du sport-loisir s¿inscrit au plus près d¿un contexte socio-économique, ainsi que des préoccupations et des problèmes quotidiens rencontrés par celles et ceux qui s¿y adonnent. Dans ces termes, cette pratique est à comprendre d¿abord comme une ressource et un espace d¿opportunités propre à construire des réseaux de relations et d¿échanges. Cet ouvrage est donc aussi une invite à discuter les théories du loisir sportif libre et désintéressé et permet, conséquemment, de sortir des catégories européo-centrées habituellement mobilisées dans l¿étude du sport-loisir.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 260 pp. Französisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Mit der Verbindung eines subjekt- und diskurstheoretischen Vorgehens erörtert das Buch die Lebenssituation geflüchteter Jugendlicher im Spannungsfeld von Selbst- und Fremdpositionierungen. Dafür rekonstruiert die Autorin zunächst die gesellschaftlichen Vorstellungen über Geflüchtete in ihrer historischen Entwicklung: Das Ineinandergreifen von Flüchtlings- und Fremdheitskonstruktionen bedingt eine Stigmatisierung von Geflüchteten als die gesellschaftlich ¿Anderen¿. Konträr dazu positionieren sich die Jugendlichen selbst als handlungsfähig und vermögen so essentialistische Narrative des ¿passiven Flüchtlings als Opfer¿ infrage zu stellen. Erst ein Narrativ, so das Fazit der Studie, das die Handlungsfähigkeit der Akteur_innen anerkennt, bietet die Grundlage einer gesellschaftlichen Zugehörigkeit.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 286 pp. Deutsch.
