Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Writing as a learning activity offers an account of the potentials of writing as a tool for learning. Four aspects of writing emerge particularly clearly through the chapters. First, writing to learn depends on the cognitive strategies of the writer; instruction in such strategies contributes significantly to the ability to use writing as a learning tool. Secondly, strategies for writing and reasoning are largely specific to academic disciplines. Thirdly, writing is not, as traditionally conceived, only an individual ability, but also an activity that is social. It is a collaborative practice facilitated by representational tools-- books, computer, notes, schemata, drawings, etc. - by which knowledge is acquired, organized, and transformed at various levels of complexity. Fourthly, writing is a productive activity, exemplified by the varied and positive effects of writing on learning different subjects at various educational levels.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - In his richly illustrated Religion and Architecture in Premodern Indonesia Gaudenz Domenig investigates the nature of Indonesian ethnic religions by focusing on land opening rituals, sacred groves, and architectural responses to the custom of presenting offerings. Since deities and spirits were supposed to taste offerings on the spot, it was a task of architecture to attract them and to guide them into houses where offerings were presented. Domenig quotes numerous sources to show that certain material elements of the house were viewed as spirit attractors, spirit ladders or spirit pathways. Various 'exotic' features of Indonesian vernacular architecture thus become understandable as relics from times when architecture was still responding to indigenous religions practised in the archipelago.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Trainer wie José Mourinho, Pep Guardiola und Jürgen Klopp stehen heute schon für eine Rede von Liberalismus, Republikanismus und einem ästhetischen Staat im Fußball. Fußball ist also keine Nebensache mehr, er ist im Herzen der Gesellschaft angekommen.Wir schauen dem Geschehen auf dem Rasen nicht mehr nur zu, um unterhalten zu werden, sondern um darin etwas zu erfahren, was wir im Alltag nicht mehr so leicht bekommen: eine Übersicht, wie unsere Gesellschaft eigentlich funktioniert.Wie die neuzeitlichen Gesellschaften werden die modernen Mannschaften nach dem Muster rationaler Organisation ausgerichtet. Ein rein erfolgsorientiertes Spiel führt zum System eines Liberalismus, in dem die Stars konsequent auf eigene Rechnung agieren. Ein Mannschaftsgeist wird dort beschworen, wo im Namen des Fußballs eine eigene »Republik« ausgerufen wird. Und Fußball wird schließlich zu einem Spektakel, wo sich die Stilisierung der Gesellschaft am Vorbild existentieller Dramen ausrichtet.
