Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Credit spreads express how markets evaluate the riskiness of corporate bonds compared to risk-free investments. Since credit spreads have been highly volatile especially during the last decade it is important for academics and practitioners alike to understand the dynamic interdependencies between credit spreads and their determinants. Based on a sample of European corporate bonds and different macroeconomic variables the author analyzes the determinants of credit spreads during the period of 1999 to 2009. With a macro-finance term structure model he shows that the European corporate bond market is largely integrated with some remaining segmentation. Furthermore, panel regressions yield that declining liquidity leads to a significant widening of credit spreads especially during the recent financial crisis. Finally, he demonstrates based on a cointegration analysis that a long-term relationship exists between credit spreads and their determinants and that credit spreads were significantly overpriced after the collapse of Lehman Brothers but have almost returned to equilibrium towards the end of 2009. 137 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The studies in this volume explore a number of issues in education today. One paper reveals what actually motivates teachers to develop their career, another, how to teach primary teachers to talk about visual art. Children¿s artworks were explored in one article to see how they relate to their adjustment to school. In another, a case study was successful in developing reasoning in primary school students. The measurement of mathematics achievement revealed no difference between Estonian speaking and Russian speaking schools. Performance-related goals were shown in another article to be associated with the self-concept of the students. The learning disabilities of children were analysed, and the production of narratives by children with language impairment. The analysis of aggressive behaviour in children in Estonia and Finland indicated gender and country differences in their behaviour. 150 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Drawing on critical race theory and the courageous narratives of immigrants and transnationals of color, this book articulates how these individuals have been racially and linguistically discriminated against, and the extent to which they have resisted such discrimination. Pierre W. Orelus analyzes and situates their vibrant stories in the larger U.S. racial and socio-political context, where they and other marginalized groups have been racially and linguistically targeted despite their U.S. citizenship and status as university professors, thus complicating notions of class and citizenship. The book goes further to illuminate how U.S. foreign policy has played a key role in the dislocation and migration of many people, particularly immigrants of color, to foreign lands. It concludes with recommendations for combating racial, linguistic, and xenophobic discrimination against immigrants and transnational subjects of color.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 184 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book brings together twelve specially commissioned essays that showcase current research on Spanish Republican exile theatre and performance, including work by some of the foremost scholars in the field. Covering a range of periods, geographical locations and theatrical phenomena, the essays are united by the common question of what it means to ¿stage exile¿, exploring the relationship between space, identity and performance in order to excavate the place of theatre in Spanish Republican exile production.Each chapter takes a particular case study as a starting point in order to assess the place of a particular text, practitioner or performance within Hispanic theatre tradition and then goes on to examine the case study¿s relationship with the specific sociocultural context in which it was located and/or produced. The authors investigate wider issues concerning the recovery and performability of these documentary traces, addressing their position within the contemporary debate over historical and cultural memory, their relationship to the contemporary stage, the insights they offer into the experience and performance of exile, and their contribution to contemporary configurations of identity and community in the Hispanic world. Through this commitment to interdisciplinary debate, the volume offers a new and invigorating reimagination of twentieth-century Hispanic theatre from the margins.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 296 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Following the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the United States, there was prolific misuse and abuse of the concept of divine wrath in church pulpits. In pursuit of a faithful understanding of what he calls a «lost doctrine,» the author of this study investigates the substantial history of how «the wrath of God» has been interpreted in Christian theology and preaching. Starting with the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures and moving historically through Christianity¿s most important theologians and societal changes, several models of divine wrath are identified. The author argues for the reclamation of a theological paradigm of divine wrath that approaches God¿s love and God¿s wrath as intrinsically enjoined in a dynamic tension. Without such a commitment to this paradigm, this important biblical aspect of God is in danger of suffering two possible outcomes. Firstly, it may suffer rejection, through conscious avoidance of the narrow misinterpretations of divine wrath that dominate contemporary theology and preaching. Secondly, irresponsible applications of divine wrath may occur when we neglect to engage and understand the wrath of God as inseparable from God¿s justice and love in Christian theology and proclamation.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 318 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -An Fallstudien sprachlichen Transfers ins Finnische, Lettische, Litauische und Isländische werden Aspekte sprachlicher Normierungstätigkeiten aufgezeigt. Die aus einer soziolinguistischen Konferenz zu dem Thema ausgewählten Beiträge haben nicht die Übersetzungswissenschaften zum Thema, sondern die Frage, wie kleinere Sprachkulturen die Herausforderungen der sprachlichen Identitätswahrung meistern, wenn ihre Sprachgemeinschaften im Gefolge der europäischen Mobilität immer heterogener werden. Different aspects of linguistic standardization are pointed out on the basis of case studies of linguistic transfers into Finnish, Latvian, Lithuanian and Icelandic. The sociolinguistic contributions selected from a conference do not merely deal with translation studies but with the question how smaller linguistic communities overcome the challenges of safeguarding their linguistic identity while becoming heterogeneous in the wake of European mobility. 234 pp. Englisch, Deutsch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book examines intellectual curiosity as the driving force in scholarly endeavor on the borderlands of geography, history, anthropology, and other disciplines. The premise is that curiosity is a salient trait of certain people past and present and that each field has its exemplars in this regard. For Carl O. Sauer (1889-1975), Americäs leading geographer of the twentieth century, and his intellectual descendants, the inquisitive spirit stood high on the list of indispensable scholarly attributes. Their curiosity-driven studies converging space, time, ecology, and culture involved a fluid and unpredictable process of intellectual discovery. This book, combining the empirical with the philosophical and reflexive, describes how the power of intrinsic motivation and the thread of a romantic consciousness blend with the joy of polymathic exploration.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 326 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The volume is an attempt to assess the meanings of 1989, in particular the multiple transformation processes and their effects in Eastern Europe. Obviously, the realities of the post-communist transformations have not met the expectations. Were the expectations too high Did democratic institutions prove incompatible with local cultures Was their implementation too fast to correspond to a genuine development of democratic culture Whatever the reasons, the road to democracy has turned out to be steeper and the communist legacy heavier than expected.The authors of this volume seek to comprehend the intricacies of various aspects of the post-communist transition; looking at a broad array of countries that have followed different paths. The studies combine methods of different disciplines. ¿Insider¿ perspectives are juxtaposed with external assessments. This comparative and problem based approach brings into focus the ambiguities of the unfinished transformations as well as their broader cultural contexts: the politics of history and the battles for new memory, the re-signification of past and present, and the problematic transformation of homo sovieticus into an autonomous and responsive subject. 682 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Land degradation is increasingly considered as a global problem. The extent of degraded and degrading areas adversely impacts on large numbers of people and leads to significant social and economic costs, thus raising the questions: In which way is it worth taking action against land degradation Where and when should action take place, and what are costs related to certain actions For policy makers it is important to know the social and economic costs linked to the current and future status of land degradation. A conceptual framework that allows comparing the costs of action against land degradation versus the costs of inaction is provided in this book. The applicability of the framework is illustrated with case studies and prepares the ground for a global assessment on the costs of land degradation. 292 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This collection of 12 essays offers detailed and varied studies of the unique problematic construction of contemporary identities from a literary and cultural perspective. The Painful Chrysalis covers transcendental, relevant and polemic topics like the difficulty of growing up, classist and interracial struggles, narratives of displacement and exile, queering the world, power politics and the individual, troubling poetics of the self, politically contesting documentaries, or boredom and male anorexia. It ranges from British authors of very different origin (such as David Lodge, Radclyffe Hall, Paul Golding, Zadie Smith or Abdulrazak Gurnah) to Canadian and American women writers (such as P.K. Page, Lalitha Gandbhir, Anita Rau Badami, Chitra Bannerji Divakaruni, Denise Levertov, Audre Lorde, Linda Hogan, Janice Mirikitani, or Gloria AnzaldGloria Anzaldúa). The heterodoxy in the critical approaches, together with the diversity of the contents offered, serve to trace an ample mosaic of the urges and drives of artists living in modern multicultural societies and suffering from specific traumatic experiences. Ultimately, their disturbances and fractures help us elucidate the way in which human fragility is transformed into cathartic creativity.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 284 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Over the last half of the nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth centuries, rising secular liberalism led many Catholic Church leaders in Latin America and Rome to believe that the Church was in a state of crisis. As a solution, they focused on improving clerical education by reforming Latin American seminaries and by sending the best students to the Colegio Pío Latino Americano in Rome. This book examines the experiences of young clerics in Rome and the effects of their Roman education on their home dioceses after their return. Roman Virtues contributes to our understanding of the role of the Catholic Church in Latin American society and the relationships between local Latin American churches and the papacy during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 150 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book investigates lexical borrowing processes of our era in a sociolinguistic context. Innovatively, it seeks to examine language contact in a comprehensive way, taking into account socio- and psycholinguistic aspects as well as implications for language politics.As the sociolinguistic focus is primary, the volume also discusses how technology influences languages and to what extent it creates new conditions for language contact. As a result, it is proposed that the term language contact needs to be reevaluated, since the context of globalization has changed its very essence.As the increase in the importance of English has been the most significant global geolinguistic event in the past fifty years, the role of English as an international lingua franca in modern borrowing is analyzed in detail. Two case studies are also given, one on the role of English in the EU and another on the linguistic situation of multilingual Switzerland. The characteristic features of lexical borrowing are illustrated in a complex way on linguistic material of a total of over 5000 recent loans in English, Spanish, German and Hungarian. 348 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Más allá de su evidente complejidad formal y denotativa, el género gramatical presenta en español una indiscutible unidad semántico-formal, que permite explicar de forma más o menos coherente la mencionada dispersión referencial, como han intentado explicar ya lingüistas europeos de la talla de un L. Hjelmslev y de un B. Pottier. Para nosotros, se trata concretamente de una oposición semántico-formal de punto de vista respecto de la sustancia que se encuentra en la base del sustantivo que acompaña. De un lado, el llamado género masculino orienta la sustancia hacia dentro, presentándola como lo que es en sí misma y por sí misma, sin ninguna relación con algo ajeno a ella. De otro, el llamado género femenino orienta la sustancia hacia fuera, presentándola en relación con algún hecho circunstancial a ella. 136 pp. Spanisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Elegiac Eyes is an in-depth examination of vision and spectacle in Roman love elegy. It approaches vision from the perspective of Roman cultural modes of viewing and locates its analysis in close textual readings of Tibullus, Propertius, and Ovid. The paradoxical nature of the Roman eyes, which according to contemporary optical theories were able to penetrate and be penetrated, as well as the complex role of vision in society, provided the elegists with a productive canvas for their poems. By locating the elegists¿ visual games within their contemporary context, Elegiac Eyes demonstrates how the elegists were manipulating notions that were specifically Roman and familiar to their readership. 184 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Given the consolidated position of English as the international language for communication in business and management, this book depicts a wide scenario in which to analyse and compare interactions between eastern/western European users of English, as well as Asian/European/North American speakers. From each chapter, different sociolinguistic realities emerge. They affect English, as used largely by non-native speakers, but also the relationship between local or national cultures and the global professional discourse community.In this context not only the specialized lexis is analysed, but rather the ways in which different geo-political cultures construe, manifest and establish their identities. Although it is difficult to classify pragmatic usages of language, the six chapters in the first section deal with language and culture following a genre-based approach, whereas the six chapters of the second section specifically consider corporate identity in intercultural interactions.This volume, which aims to avoid stereotypes and promote mutual understanding, is the offspring of a two-day seminar as part of the 10th ESSE (European Society for the Study of English) Conference, held in Turin, August 2010.Libri GmbH, Europaallee 1, 36244 Bad Hersfeld 304 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -In recent years, a number of scholars have identified a text-type in six of the books of the Catholic Epistles that they have called «mixed.» The So-Called Mixed Text: An Examination of the Non-Alexandrian and Non-Byzantine Text-Type in the Catholic Epistles is concerned with a comprehensive identification and evaluation of this so-called mixed text-type. This mixed category, if supported by empirical investigation to be more original than the Alexandrian and Byzantine texts, could necessitate the re-evaluation of these established text-types and also the re-evaluation of the designation «mixed» attributed to this group.In pursuit of this objective, Clinton S. Baldwin undertakes an in-depth study of this mixed phenomenon by studying 407 Greek manuscripts of the Catholic Epistles. Having identified 13 mixed groups across the Catholic Epistles, it is shown that the weighted value of this mixed category is negligible in terms of uncovering the earliest originals. Also of significance to this study is the use of factor analysis for the classification of New Testament Greek manuscripts. The reliability of factor analysis is demonstrated by another vital contribution of this study: the classification of the manuscripts of the Epistle of Jude, a book which hither-to-fore had not been comprehensively classified. Most of the manuscripts classified by factor analysis have later been confirmed by a modified form of the Claremont Profile Method. Finally, The So-Called Mixed Text demonstrates that the evolution of the New Testament text, which began in the earlier centuries, continued into the Middle Ages.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 266 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -In the early modern period, there have been a vigorous debate in the public arena on the nature of women and their place in society. For instance, most women had been excluded from inheritance.The author of this work is shedding light on how the notion of inheritance intrudes into the literature produced by women of the period.She analyses the tropes of inheritance and appropriation as they are evidenced in the works of women from the upper strata of society ¿ women such as Mary (Sidney) Herbert, the Countess of Pembroke, and Lady Mary Wroth, both scions of the renowned Sidney family ¿ and also those produced by those from lower down in the social spectrum, such as Aemilia Lanyer and Isabella Whitney.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 376 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Narrating the Portuguese Diaspora presents a variety of perspectives on the Portuguese diaspora, from literature to identity discourse to biography and autobiography. The book is divided into three parts: reading literary identities within and without borders; constructing/constructed extra-literary identities at home and abroad; and literary ethnic voices from the North American diaspora and beyond. The 22 texts presented in this volume highlight the diasporic themes and backgrounds upon which the scope of the scholarly texts ¿ as well as the personal contributions of short stories, poetry, interviews, and autobiographical memory ¿ can be interwoven in a narrative identity construction. 314 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book undertakes a biblical and theological analysis of evolutionary creation and creation themes pertinent to origins science. A key premise is that a fundamental congruity exists between what the Lord has revealed in nature (i.e., the book of God¿s work) and in Scripture (i.e., the book of God¿s Word). A corollary supposition is that, based on an analysis of the fossil record, genome evidence, morphological data, and so on, biological evolution offers the best persuasive scientific explanation for the origin and actualization of carbon-based life on earth, including Homo sapiens (i.e., modern humans). Furthermore, considering evolutionary creation in an objective, balanced, and informed manner reveals that the view is wholly compatible with classical theological metaphysics, including Augustinian and Reformed confessional orthodoxy. 336 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This new study provides fresh readings of Thomas Hardy¿s work and illuminates the social and cultural history of dress in the nineteenth century. The book argues that Hardy had a more detailed and acute understanding of the importance of dress in forming and regulating personal identity and social relations than any other writer of his time. Structured thematically, it takes into account both nineteenth-century and modern theoretical approaches to the significance of what we wear.The author gives an extended analysis of individual works by Hardy, showing, for example, that A Pair of Blue Eyes is central to the study of the function of clothing in the expression and perception of sexuality. The Hand of Ethelberta, The Mayor of Casterbridge, Tess of the d¿Urbervilles and The Woodlanders are examined in order to show the extent to which dress obscures or reveals the nature of the self. Hardy¿s other novels, as well as the short stories and poems, are used to confirm the centrality of dress and clothing in Hardy¿s work. The book also raises issues such as the gendering of dress, cross-dressing, work clothes and working with clothes, dress and the environment, the symbolism of colour in clothes, and the dress conventions relating to death. 314 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The continuing advance of globalization, together with deepening European integration, has increased the significance of the transnational level of trade union organization and action. This study offers a comprehensive overview of the development, structure, and policies of global and European trade union federations to serve as a reference work on all the key trade union movements operating globally and in Europe. It presents an in-depth analysis of the challenges facing these organizations and their strategic and policy responses.As a handbook, this volume provides extensive and systematically presented data on transnational sectoral trade union federations. Applying an analogous structure in the presentation of both global and European levels, the study features extensive organizational profiles, portraits, and overviews. This empirical material serves to reveal recent innovations in cross-border policy instruments and strategic approaches since the 1990s. The changing profiles of international trade unions ¿ as measured against a set of functional criteria drawn from political science ¿ and key developments in transnational trade union activity since the start of the new century are also investigated. 952 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Using the example of the fundamental American film genre, the Western, this book sets out to evaluate modern Hollywood on the basis of aesthetic, industrial, and ideological factors by the comparison of its formative stage «New Hollywood» (1967-1976) with its contemporary make up «Hollywood Now» (2001-now). The centerpiece of the book is the analysis of a broad range of Westerns, incorporating roughly 100 films and presenting fresh perspectives on classics like The Wild Bunch and Little Big Man, but also discussing neglected films like Billy Two Hats and Bad Company, and modern films such as Brokeback Mountain and No Country for Old Men. A main argument is that the Western has developed from a predominantly conservative genre in classical Hollywood to a medium for artistic innovation and subversive political implications in «New Hollywood» to a cultural artifact that bespeaks a self-reflexive scrutiny of cinematic artifice in «Hollywood Now». 550 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Esta obra está dedicada al estudio de la expresión del tiempo y el espacio en la lengua española, dos dominios conceptuales fundamentales de la reflexión y el pensamiento humanos. El volumen reúne un total de veintiún trabajos que tratan de estas dos nociones desde distintas perspectivas de análisis. De acuerdo con las unidades que se estudian, el libro se divide en tres partes: la primera está dedicada a cuestiones de morfosintaxis, la segunda a semántica, tanto gramatical como léxica, y la tercera al análisis del discurso y a otros aspectos relacionados con la pragmática. Pese a la diversidad de puntos tratados, las contribuciones que aquí se presentan persiguen un objetivo común: el análisis de cómo refleja el español las nociones de tiempo y espacio y las relaciones que entre ambas se establecen. Además, estos trabajos matizan algunos de los presupuestos teóricos que suelen asociarse con ambas nociones. Los trabajos muestran cómo muchos de los recursos tradicionalmente considerados como marcadores espacio-temporales dejan de serlo en determinadas ocasiones y bajo unas condiciones concretas para tomar otros valores que, a priori, no se consideraban prioritarios. En sus estudios, los autores se valen de distintos ángulos y enfoques teóricos dentro de la lingüística actual. 384 pp. Spanisch.
