Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -What¿s in the Deep This companion explores the myths and legends of merfolk and sea monsters to navigate our transcultural pasts and environmental presents and explain our endless fascination with the sea. More than any other time in human history, our relationship to the oceans and the creatures of the Deep has come into focus, not just as an environment to be explored, exploited and, more recently, poisoned, but as source of both our deepest anxieties and possible futures. In 31 original essays by experts in their respective fields, the Deep is brought to life, from representations of mythological sea creatures to present-day visions of the blue environment. As our place in the world and our effects upon it become increasingly contentious, The Deep offers ways in which we might re-experience and realign ourselves to the watery world that covers the majority of the earth¿s surface and become part of a shared, more ecological, future.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 360 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Ageing of the Oppressed: A Pandemic of Intersectional Injustice explores what it is like to grow older with accumulating and intersecting discrimination. It condemns ageism and other 'isms.' Despite its visibility during the COVID-19 pandemic, ageism is not a new phenomenon but one that has been ignored for too long by policymakers and the general population. The negative language used to describe population ageing adds fuel to the fire by filling people¿s minds with ageist images that permeate all levels and sectors of society. We should all be recognized as full human rights holders, no matter our age, ability, disability, gender or sexual orientation, race, or socio-economic or any other status. This book combines theoretical models and academic essays by top experts with the real-life experience of older persons and activists. It is a must-read for advocates for human rights; policymakers; service providers; students of social and health sciences, the humanities, and law; and anybody willing to challenge assumptions and practices. The proposed UN Convention on the human rights of older persons will be a step forward to providing older persons with a remedy for daily and often life-long oppression.Silvia Perel-Levin, a highly respected international expert and leading advocate on human rights and ageing, has brought together contributors from around the world and from different disciplines to reflect on ageing, human rights, and oppression in its many forms. The book offers provocative, moving, and powerful stories and analyses of marginalization in older age and the interaction of age and other forms of discrimination in the denial of human rights. The book demands of its readers that they reflect deeply on their own ageism, prejudices, and complacency. A must-have for anyone interested in ageing, human rights, law, and structures of power in our societies.¿Andrew Byrnes, Emeritus Professor of Law, University of New South Wales, Sydney, AustraliaAs an eminent global advocate for the improvement of human rights of all citizens and most especially older people, Silvia Perel-Levin is well qualified to bring together leading experts in their field to convey through storytelling the manifest urgency for formal recognition and collective action against unjust treatment in all its forms. Each narrative will leave an imprint on your soul of the pain of being human yet most importantly the innate power in voice and meaningful engagement.¿Jane Barratt, Secretary General, International Federation on AgeingBooks on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 202 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -What does it look like to live with integrity in the midst of complicity When the daily tasks of eating, working, and providing for our homes are tangled up with climate change, exploitative working conditions, colonial legacies of stolen land, and more, what do we do Based on five years of research, this book shares intimate narratives about 12 educators working at the intersection of education, environment, and social change, as they describe their understandings and experiences of integrity and complicity in today¿s world. Nora Timmerman argues that these stories collectively teach us how scale matters, to stop being one person, and to act anyway. Integrity comes not from ridding oneself of complicity but from critical learning, community accountability, cultivating interdependence, and strategic experimentation to create new worlds.'This delightful book, Between Integrity and Complicity, is an environmental educator¿s manifesto on how to live well in relation to communities of others. The stories call on us to do more acting (with inevitable missteps) and less worrying. The author skillfully untangles the roots of complicity, integrity and suffering to show us the colourfully varied microcosm of ecological and social renewal, perseverance, and possibility. This book honours listening to the world in all its myriad ways¿it is a found treasure.'¿Leesa Fawcett, PhD, Environmental and Urban Change, Coordinator of Environmental & Sustainability Education, York University'This book explores the existential journeys of leading environmental educators and scholars through illuminating portraits and vignettes in a thoughtfully nuanced manner. It is a timely and notable contribution to the literature.'¿Greg Lowan-Trudeau, PhD, Associate Professor of Education, University of CalgaryBooks on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 202 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Writing is a critical skill people need to survive and prosper in the modern economy. But most people fail to become competent writers. Those who succeed (at least, in English-speaking countries) are predominantly White, upper middle class, and female. These achievement gaps are primarily the result of opportunity gaps ¿ in other words, they represent the failure of our educational systems to provide equitable instruction. This book examines why so many students fall behind and analyzes what teachers and schools can do to help them succeed. It is for anyone who wants to know, in detail, what modern educational research tells us about the causes and cures for writing achievement gaps, and presents a theory of action designed to help educators and policymakers understand what needs to happen if all students are to become competent writers. Educational statistics demonstrate an ongoing tragedy, in which boys, students from poor families, and members of minority groups are often discouraged, provided substandard education, and then treated as failures. However, there is no magic bullet. Equitable writing instruction happens when schools motivate all students to excel, provide them the knowledge they need to succeed, give them time and space to think and to write, teach them effective strategies to manage their work, and make sure that they master foundational reading and writing skills.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 188 pp. Englisch.

Geburtstags.Dieses Buch ist kein sentimentales Lagerfeuer, das zwischen Tür und Angel Trost stiften will, sondern nimmt die Spur eines Geheimnisses auf, das weniger in der Theorie als in der gelebten Praxis verborgen ist. Es schlägt eine Brücke zwischen Alpha und Omega, von A bis Z ein Einwand gegen das schnelle Vergessen (Felicitas Hoppe).Thomas Brose eröffnet Räume und schafft neue, oft überraschende Verbindungen ¿ zwischen Gedanken und Ideen, Denkern und Dichtern, einstmals und heute lebenden Menschen.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Migration and Creation in Aztec and Maya Literature provides a new perspective on migration and creation episodes in the Popol Vuh of the Quiché Maya Indians of highland Guatemala, demonstrating that they are largely borrowed from Aztec sources. These findings upend previous interpretations resulting from the widely held belief that the Popol Vuh is the most 'authentic' Maya book. Victoria Bricker¿s careful historical analysis explains the origin of these borrowings, which stemmed from the expansion of the Aztec empire southward from the Central Valley of Mexico into the highlands of what is today the Mexican state of Chiapas and continuing into highland Guatemala as far south as the town of Utatlán, whose rulers then intermarried with members of the Aztec royal family.This innovative volume explores new ground, comparing Aztec pictorial representations of migration with Maya written descriptions of the same events and showing that they have much in common. Bricker¿s exploration of creation narratives demonstrates that the Aztec treatment of multiple creations is more coherent than the Popol Vuh version because it describes the end of each creation before embarking on a new creation, whereas the Popol Vuh version refers to the end of all creations only once. Bricker also provides a new interpretation of creation texts from the archaeological sites of Quirigua and Palenque that challenges models suggesting that the Precolumbian Maya, like the Aztecs, believed in multiple creations. Students of Latin American history will find fresh insights regarding interactions and cultural contact in Late Prehispanic Mesoamerica in Bricker¿s study.Victoria Bricker, one of the most accomplished scholars in the field of Mesoamerican studies, presents a fascinating hypothesis about creation legends in this new book. Synthesizing references to Mesoamerican migration and creation accounts in the Colonial period and ethnographic literature, she concludes that the multiple creation events recorded in the Popol Vuh, a colonial-period Quiché Maya text, were derived from Central Mexican traditions. Bricker finds no evidence for multiple creation events in Classic period Maya texts, and suggests that the narrative recorded in the Popol Vuh was probably transferred from the Aztec outpost in Zinacantán, Chiapas, to Quiché nobility, who aspired to increase their status by linking their creation narrative to Aztec accounts. This book provides a stimulating new look at the exchange of ideas across Mesoamerica, and will certainly lead scholars to reexamine the often-claimed link between the Popol Vuh and Classic Maya iconography.¿Dr. Susan Milbrath, Emeritus Curator of Latin American Art and Archaeology Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida, GainesvilleThis is an extraordinary book. Only Victoria Bricker¿with her mastery of Maya linguistics, hieroglyphics, and colonial sources, and her knowledge of Aztec texts¿could have compared Aztec and Maya creation literature in the probing and thoughtful way she has. The short chapters, each with its clear focus, carry her analysis naturally forward to a deeper understanding of the Popol Vuh and, indeed, much migration and creation literature in Mesoamerica.¿Dr. Elizabeth Hill Boone, Professor Emerita, Tulane UniversityBooks on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 152 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Communicating Fatherhood is the first text to focus squarely on communication by and about fathers. This highly readable collection features an engaging mix of research chapters, personal reflections, and rich qualitative explorations of fatherhood as it is depicted in media, cultural traditions, father support programs, and the often-poignant reports of daughters, sons, spouses, and other family members. The amazing diversity of fatherhood is on display, with chapters exploring the experiences of Native American, African American, and Latino dads and their families. The reader will also hear from stay-at-home dads, nonresidential fathers, dads who are sperm donors, adoptive dads, and fathers who have been challenged by addiction, disability, and toxic versions of masculinity.Although grounded in communication research and theory, Communicating Fatherhood strikes personal and emotional chords that will resonate with student readers and researchers alike. Authors share personal experiences of fatherhood ¿ some heartwarming, and others painful ¿ all of which emphasize the powerful and lifelong influence of 'father-speak'. The text generates deep insights for readers hoping to be fathers, family members seeking to understand fathers, and researchers studying the role communication has in shaping the many and varied roles played by fathers in families. Committed to tracing the development of fatherhood across the lifespan, Communicating Fatherhood is the perfect text for undergraduate and graduate courses in family communication, personal relationships, lifespan communication, and gender studies.'In this pioneering book Communicating Fatherhood, the editors have assembled an impressive range of scholarly and practitioner voices.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This publication puts forward a revised vision in an attempt to solve one of the most serious problems facing schools, that of their inability to involve all pupils in learning. Beyond being a simple vision, it is also a plea for an in-depth transformation of educational practices. The contributions in this book call for a different look at problems and practices in the fight against school failure. The chapters in this book present the challenges faced by education and training professionals in France, Spain, Hungary and Denmark. The texts question and highlight the idea of cooperation between families, schools, communities and local authorities. How can we develop relevant and effective professional practices to combat pupils' learning difficulties In guidance and future orientation, how can we consider pupils¿ diversity and the often difficult social and economic context in which they live How can we link school and out-of-school knowledge to better promote the development of pupils' learning How can national or even international educational guidelines be linked to local initiatives Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 234 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -L¿adaptation ou reformulation facilitante des descriptions dites savantes de la grammaire française et de ses descriptions ordinaires en usage est un phénomène désormais identifié et défi ni de manière unanime. Ces adaptations, qüelles soient le fait des auteurs de grammaire ou des enseignants, sont souvent des créations individuelles ou représentations qui ont une visée pratique de la langue et qui tendent à se détacher de la norme grammaticale des locuteurs francophones natifs. Le présent ouvrage regroupe sept articles sélectionnés suite à un colloque international organisé en juin 2018 à Nicosie (Chypre). II réunit ainsi les résultats de recherches portant sur des formes particulières de descriptions, dites contextualisations de la description du français, caractérisées par le fait qüelles sont déviantes par rapport à la norme linguistique. Dans la première partie, les contributions présentées se penchent sur l¿étude des représentations des apprenants de la langue française. Dans la deuxième, les auteurs analysent le discours et la description grammaticale du français dans des ouvrages du français. Enfin, dans la troisième partie de l¿ouvrage, les articles sont consacrés aux difficultés grammaticales des apprenants locuteurs non natifs du français. L¿ensemble de ces contributions se fonde ainsi sur la grande question de l¿appropriation de la grammaire, avec l¿importance accordée d¿une part à l¿étude précise de la pluralité des représentations et du discours des grammaires, et d¿autre part à la collecte de difficultés récurrentes, qui permettent de fonder la recherche sur la réalité des pratiques linguistiquesOnt contribué à l¿écriture de ce volume : Jean-Claude Beacco, Henri Besse, Marie-Christine Fougerouse, Karima Gaci, Fryni Kakoyianni-Doa, Dora Loizidou, Daniel Luzatti, Monique Monville Burston, Leyre Ruiz de Zarobe et Sofia Stratilaki-Klein.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 168 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The book is the result of a collective research work between the members of the team of the project 'Over the Atlantic' (co-founded by the Erasmus + programme). A critical introduction presents the work, the content and the scope of the research, carried out with an interdisciplinary approach.This book consists of three main parts. The first discusses the institutionalization and normalization of paradiplomacy in some specific and well-documented case studies regarding the Latin America region. The second one refers to the relationship between paradiplomacy and cooperation in the context of international and regional relations. The third part analyses Cities and Parliaments as international diplomatic actors.The theme of Paradiplomacy, as a means of unofficial relationships that reacts differently to the pressure of the international system, and the role of the local authorities, despite its relevance and importance, is scarcely analysed by academia.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 186 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The plot of the book is about how the rule of law functions to protect corporate structures that facilitate the commission of globalized fraud and abuse. The rules of law are used to dilute and hide accountability of high managerial agents and controlling persons, performing as a tool in aid of centralized and concentrated capital interests, devouring and destabilizing small-to-medium-sized companies. The theories and concepts developed in the book chapters are explored then applied to a real case and controversy¿a mega-fraudulent bankruptcy in Argentina. In the zone of the world¿s largest grain manufacturing and exporting port complex, the VICENTIN SAIC default illustrates poignantly the premises of the book.The book will be a good tool to illustrate to students how globalized financial capitalism may perform predation of other actors in a given domestic real economy; what are the origins and abuses of corporate law in the transnational context; what factors influence the economies of emergent countries in Latin America; and what should be the protective role of law. These concepts can be learned and applied in higher education and post-degree students through this study of allegations of mega-fraud arising from the VICENTIN complex of companies based in Argentina, including consideration of the role of Glencore Ltd.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 230 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book discusses how from their different backgrounds and on different levels, the German philosopher, sociologist and musicologist,Theodor W. Adorno, (1903-1969) and the Irish playwright, Brian Friel,(1929-2015) came to the conclusion that the modern crisis rendered art¿s affirmative essence, like all positivistic fixations, obsolete. Only a new conception of dialectics, based on the reciprocity of opposites, rather than on antitheses, is capable of healing modern dichotomies. Independent of Adornös Negative Dialectics and Critical Theory, Friel is aware that with the processual character of life this requires of the artist in particular an attitude both critical and conciliatory and a persistent readiness to change. Reality is in need of possibility, its dialectic other. Uncertainty, in Friel¿s Theatre of Hope and Despair is no longer a defect of our time, but a source of creation in art as well as in life.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book focuses on the most successful feature films of John Carney, namely Once (2006), Begin Again (2013) and Sing Street (2016). Drawing on narrative, formalist and genre theories of film, the book presents an in-depth examination of how the formal and stylistic choices made by Carney allow each film to narrate a story in a coherent way. It shows how aural and visual contrivances are hidden behind a façade of realism, and how the films engage with universal, national and personal concerns and also how they relate to each other and to Irish and American film in general. It also explores the textual articulation of genre in each and the discrepancies between such articulation, the genre expectations set up by the promotional discourse coming from the publicity materials and events accompanying each release, and the genre labelling of each film in contemporary reviews by professional critics from the United States, Canada, Great Britain, and Ireland.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 258 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Poldowski (Irène Dean Paul née Wieniawska) 1879¿1932 was the youngest daughter of the celebrated violinist/composer, Henryk Wieniawski. The only member of her family to follow her father into the music profession, she developed from a child prodigy into one of the most important and successful female composers in the United Kingdom. Like so many of her sister composers, her legacy has suffered the fate of neglect until a recent revival in interest.Poldowski¿s most successful composition genre is the solo art song, comprising mostly settings of texts by the French poet, Paul Verlaine. She displays an innate ability to realize the text within her own distinctive style with echoes of influence of her French counterparts, namely Fauré and Debussy. This book includes the most complete biography to date of this highly individual, colourful (and sometimes controversial) musician. A study of her relationship with the poetry of Verlaine precedes a discussion of each of the published songs, concentrating mainly on a description of the structure, the role of the piano and most importantly, a commentary on the musico-poetic relationship with details of reception/reaction where known.This book forms the second in the Performance Research Ireland series and is complemented by a free-to-view audio-visual demonstration, presented by the author.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Franz Beckenbauer once observed that, in England, «war correspondents get their say whenever their team plays us.» In Crossing the Line , Christoph Wagner surveys German football rivalry in the second half of the twentieth century as it was played out on the pitch and in the press. The Second World War undoubtedly cast a long shadow, framing the way in which matches were previewed and reported. The contrasting fortunes of the British and West German economies and British anxieties regarding German unification also impacted on sports coverage.An intense Anglo-German international football rivalry was forged against this backdrop. Newspaper readers often turn to the back page first and first impressions are important. Press coverage helped to shape what the English thought of the Germans and what they thought of themselves. Crossing the Line ¿ which includes an important chapter on the German media ¿ focuses largely on the part played by English newspapers in generating a simplistic sporting commentary heavily dependent on stereotypes before it overreached itself in the mid-1990s and the German popular press began to hit back. As English football pundits often remind their viewers: «You can never underestimate the Germans».Peter Lang Group AG Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaft, Place de la gare 12, 1003 LAUSANNE 286 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -«Marjan Shokouhi¿s new book attests to the ways in which Irish ecocritical scholarship has developed into more than a simple ¿subfield¿ of Irish Studies. Shokouhi takes readers on a fascinating journey through the work of three iconic Irish poets in the modern period ¿ Yeats, Kavanagh and MacNeice ¿ from the burgeoning perspective of Irish ecological criticism, exhibiting the complexities of the Irish Literary Revival in addressing questions of place and identity and opening new avenues of research in relation to new voices and marginal identities.»(Pilar Villar-Argáiz, University of Granada, Spain)«From wild ancient forests to the Lagan riverside, From Landscapes to Cityscapes offers a new take on the sense of place in modern Irish poetry. Using Heidegger¿s concept of dwelling, it examines the verse of Yeats, Kavanagh and MacNeice from an ecocritical perspective in a worthy contribution to the field.»(Audrey Robitaillié, Lecturer in Anglophone Literature and Irish Studies, Institut Catholique de Toulouse)The study of place and place attachments has been a staple subject of enquiry in the field of Irish Studies, which ever since the emergence of an Irish ecocritical scholarship in the early 2000s has acquired a new depth. Recent publications have integrated an environmental dimension that connects literary analyses to wider cultural and global concerns such as deforestation, urban sprawl, immigration, climate change and so on. Building on the existing scholarship, the present study offers readings from modern Irish verse in the light of Ireland¿s natural and cultural landscapes. Simply put, From Landscapes to Cityscapes should be viewed as a minor ecocritical exercise in Irish Studies, hoping to inspire new perspectives that arise out of an environmental scrutiny of the age-old questions of place and identity in Irish literature.The textual analysis focuses on the works of three major Irish poets of the modern period: William Butler Yeats, Patrick Kavanagh and Louis MacNeice. Contesting the often politicized and historicist boundaries set for defining Irishness and arguing for a recognition of new voices and marginal identities, this book considers a range of land/cityscapes in terms of their significance to the development of a more comprehensive view of both culture and environment in Ireland.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 260 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Die Besteuerung von Kryptowährungen stellt sowohl in der wissenschaftlichen als auch der steuerlichen Praxis ein immer größer werdender Themenbereich dar. Die Beantwortung der sich stetig aufwerfenden Fragen setzt neben einem Verständnis für die zugrundeliegende Technologie und der zivilrechtlichen Einordnung vor allem eine kritische Auseinandersetzung mit den Grundsätzen des deutschen Steuerrechts voraus. Die vorliegende Arbeit gibt zunächst einen Einblick in die technischen Grundlagen von Kryptowährungen sowie den einzelnen technischen Implikationen. Nach einer kurzen zivilrechtlichen Würdigung werden Einblicke in die einzelnen Aspekte der Besteuerung, insbesondere auf die differenzierte Betrachtung innerhalb der einzelnen Krypto-Token Typen und der verschiedenen Anwendungen gewährt. Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt stellt dabei die Besteuerung von Krytpo-Token aus seiner Hard-Fork dar, deren Besteuerung nach dem deutschen Steuerrecht einen über die Ansicht des BMF hinausgehende Handlungspflicht des Gesetzgebers erfordern dürfte. Insgesamt lässt der stetige Wandel und das wachsende Interesse sowohl der Politik als auch der Anleger an Kryptowährungen im Hinblick auf eine der Technologie gerecht werdenden Besteuerung für die Zukunft viele spannende rechtliche Wendungen und Debatten erwarten.BoD - Books on Demand, In de Tarpen 42, 22848 Norderstedt 340 pp. Deutsch.
