Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Why does the same book look so different around the world This study examines the global covers of the Japanese bestseller The Courage to Be Disliked. Using a new approach to Multimodal Discourse Analysis, it compares editions from Japan, Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada, to ask how design shapes meaning. You will see how small visual choices--colour, layout, images, and typography--shape ideas about the 'East' and the 'West,' construct identities, and circulate ideology. By examining book covers as powerful paratexts, this study reveals how translation and design reshape cultural meaning across borders.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Why do some regions recover from shocks while others fall behind You follow a storm-hit coastal district, a shrinking industrial valley, and a fast-growing tech hub to see how planning choices shape outcomes. The book traces the global rise of resilience idea across disciplines, explains how governments and international organisations embed it in policy, and tests tools to measure regional strength. Drawing on different theoretical perspectives, spatial analyses, policy datasets, and 500+ sources, you discover why regions--not only states--anchor resilient futures, and how to design smarter, evidence-based spatial policies today.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This book scrutinises the transformative potential of adult education in addressing the challenges posed by current global challenges. Displacement, poverty, violent conflict, climate change, polarised politics, a weakening of human rights and widening inequality become sites where contributors explore their lived and professional experiences, revealing the interconnected nature of these crises. Authors explore how critical reflexivity and understanding systemic power is vital in promoting agentic change, guarding against the domestication of education and the rendering impotent of its transformative possibilities. The book underlines the interconnected domains of knowledge, power and social justice and the central role they play in transformation.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Explore the extraordinary life and turbulent times of Olbrycht Górecki (c. 1621-c. 1684)--Polish-Lithuanian nobleman, soldier, Calvinist, polyglot and inventor of 'lute strings covered with sylver wyer.' A key catalyst in a line of musical instrument innovations over the last five hundred years, Górecki's strings contributed to profound shifts in musical culture, affecting music from Mozart to Metallica. Part of the 'Republic of Letters,' Górecki moved in the same intellectual circles as Robert Boyle and other founding members of The Royal Society. Follow Górecki as he traverses the key events and cultural movements of his time, finding fresh inspiration on his path to innovation.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Leading with Values: Gen Z, Trust, and Transformation in the Future of Business shows how organizations in Central and Eastern Europe are redefining management, markets, and consumer relationships through value-driven innovation.

Distinctively, the volume combines theoretical insight with clear managerial recommendations and directions for future research in a rapidly evolving business landscape.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - In August 1865, Javier Angulo Guridi arrived in Santo Domingo carrying four loads of documents from the Restoration War--crossing swollen rivers by broken canoe, over fifty leagues of trail with no inn in sight. Within a year, those archives had vanished--one of many such losses this book sets out to understand. Drawing on a wealth of published and unpublished documents and rare images, from nineteenth-century archives to modern metro maps, this book reveals that what gets erased and who gets silenced was rarely left to chance--offering a new lens for understanding how institutions of memory across Latin America have been built as much to suppress as to preserve the past.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Numerous studies exist of the ecumenical, evangelical and pentecostal movements and the ways in which they relate to each other. This book does what none has done as yet. It provides a comprehensive historical-critical analysis of the long process whereby these movements, all three with their roots in the evangelicalism of the 19th century, parted ways. It explains how each group saw themselves, what each believed to be at stake, and why they separated. And it is the first study presenting the reader with an extensive account of the efforts made over the past 75 years to bring the ecumenical and evangelical-pentecostal movements closer to one another, for the sake of the unity and mission of the church.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - We are living through a moment in which universities no longer provide a safeguard for democracy but are politically captured by illiberal and fascist forces. This book compares the United States and Hungary, showing how universities are being reshaped by neoliberal governance, political pressure, and autocratic ambition. Universities--often voluntarily and preemptively--are weakening their ability to resist political control. Autocrats thrive when critical education is diminished, and citizens are easily manipulated. If you care about democracy, you cannot ignore this book's analysis of what is happening inside universities.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This book contains a re-edition, with translation and commentary, of all the fragments contained in the Oxyrhynchus papyrus 1175 + 2081(b), now frr. 206 to 222b18 in Radt's Tragicorum Graecorum Fragmenta IV, and generally attributed to a lost tragedy by Sophocles, Eurypylus. The myth of the Mysian prince, son of Telephus, sent to the rescue of the besieged Troy by his mother Astyoche, allegedly corrupted by her own brother Priam, and his death by the hand of Neoptolemus, was probably at the core of the plot. Of all the fragmentary tragedies of Sophocles, this Eurypylus is the most substantial in terms of lines preserved. A re-assessment of the fragments from a papyrological and philological standpoint has provided new clues as to their the position within the original roll and their placing within the tragedy in question: it transpires that only half of the surviving fragments actually belonged to Eurypylus, and that most of what we have represents the exodus--the final episode of the play. Comparisons with the extant Greek tragedies, mostly Persians, Ajax and Women of Trachis, put in context with the most recent scholarly treatments of Sophocles' poetics, style and production, gives new insights on the significance of this tragedy, and locates it within the playwright's early stage. …

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Love and marriage are perennial topics on stage in East and West. From the very beginning of Chinese theatre, stories of passion and seduction have been popular with playwrights and audiences. Many of the such plays show the influence of the famous love comedy West Chamber by featuring a scene in which a young man attracts, intended or not, the attention of a young girl by his performance on the zither. Once married, smart wives strengthen their virtuous grooms in their resolve and improve the ways of their erring husbands. As lovers and wives the female protagonists in these plays are anything but subservient characters--they display remarkable bravery, daring, and ingenuity. They are sometimes the initiator of a relationship, and they are usually the character that resolves problems that occur in the course of their marriage or in the course of pursuing marriage. Only one of these plays has been translated earlier into English. Together, the selection reveals the continuing vitality of Northern drama (zaju) well into the Ming dynasty.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This volume establishes 'embodied invective' as a significant new analytical category for understanding Greco-Roman culture. Moving beyond simple insults, the contributors show how ancient writers strategically weaponised the corporeal self--physical traits, habits, and gestures--to undermine the social and moral standing of their targets. Covering material from early iambic poetry to Late Antique epistles, the collection examines how the body functioned as a rhetorical battleground where gender norms, ethnic identities, and social hierarchies were contested. By decoding these 'deep structures' of abuse, the volume provides a systematic framework for viewing the human body as a primary site of ancient cultural negotiation and identity performance. …

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This book uniquely bridges biblical exegesis and lived African reality. Readers gain fresh hermeneutical tools to interpret miracles in the gospels and pauline signs without rationalist bias. By engaging West African spiritual contexts, it validates local miracle claims and challenges cessationism. Scholars, pastors, and students receive a culturally relevant framework for understanding the miraculous as dynamic, contextual, and theologically sound - essential for those ministering where supernatural worldviews dominate and Scripture meets daily spiritual experience.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Biblical studies and food studies have much to offer one another. While studies of food in the Bible have grown significantly in recent years, there is a more rich and robust conversation about the function and meaning of food to be had. Food, Gender, and Power in the Book of Samuel models a fresh approach to this interdisciplinary conversation. Engaging a variety of theoretical frameworks for thinking about food, the book uses close readings of four biblical narratives about women and food to demonstrate how work at this intersection can be deeper for biblical scholars and broader for food scholars.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This study examines the complexity of temple imagery and how it structures spaces in early Judaism and John's Gospel by integrating modern metaphor and spatial theory with traditional exegesis. After identifying varied conceptions of 'templised' space in the Jewish Scriptures and the works of Josephus, Philo, and Qumran, it demonstrates how John 1-4 and 13-15 map temple imagery and abiding language on multiple spaces of divine encounter. In relation to the temple, John engages purity concerns to indicate covenantal participation with God, in and through the embodied person of Jesus, by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Western Marxism, closely tied to the events of the twentieth century, played a significant theoretical role with far-reaching political implications, influencing contemporary critical theories beyond academia. This book revisits its complex, heterogeneous, and often contradictory legacy in order to evaluate its ongoing relevance and its capacity to connect Classical Marxism with what is now termed Global Marxism. It also offers a critical reappraisal of Perry Anderson's work, reconstructing his theoretical and political trajectory. As Martin Jay observes in his foreword, Santiago M. Roggerone's 'masterful exercise in intellectual history' recovers the 'bifurcating, proliferating tracks of a tradition' once considered exhausted, renewing the excitement surrounding an 'unknown dimension' of Marxist theory.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This book offers a new interpretation of early Kagyupa Buddhism by demonstrating that Vinaya, tantric yoga, and mahamudra are not separate domains but integrated aspects of a single path. Focusing on Jikten Sumgön and his lineage, it shows how disciplined conduct functions as a method for transforming the mind and stabilizing awareness. Tantric practices involving channels, winds, and bindus are reinterpreted as techniques for generating and regulating experience, subordinate to realization. The study further argues that practices involving a karmamudra were marginal, highly restricted, and increasingly internalized. The ideal of the kusali yogi emerges as the key to this integration, embodying a path in which all experience becomes a means to realization.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Leonardo Vairo (1543/44-1603) was Bishop of Naples and wrote a detailed treatise on the evil eye, stimulated in all likelihood by the particular prevalence there of belief in its reality and dire effects. He is thorough in his examination of how the phenomenon is supposed to work, its long history, its motives, the kinds of people who inflict harm by means of it, and how to counter its effects successfully. He illustrates his work with many anecdotal instances, several drawn from personal experience, and calls on the sciences as well as religion for his arguments and observations.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Can minority languages continue to flourish in the 21st century This book tells you how the Sebuyau of Malaysia have managed to pull that off. They have preserved their unique way of speaking in spite of being surrounded by the powerful English, Chinese, and Malay languages. Even more amazing is that they have left their traditional culture, yet keep their indigenous language alive. In this book you will learn some of the mechanisms they use to resist language shift, and come to understand the language ecology in which Sebuyau is embedded. The information in this book was gathered over the course of five years while Stan Anonby lived among the Sebuyau. He learned their language, participated in their community, and carefully observed and analysed the way they spoke.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This book presents the first edition and translation of Giles of Rome's Prohemium to his lectures on the Sentences of Peter Lombard (Paris, 1276-1277), together with an extensive introduction. Giles was a student of Thomas Aquinas, yet forged his own path, thereby establishing a distinct late medieval theological tradition, the Augustinian tradition, which should be recognized as such together with the Dominican and Franciscan traditions. Giles defined Theology as 'affective knowledge,' a distinct late medieval theological tradition, demarcated from the Dominican view of Theology as speculative, or theoretical knowledge, and the Franciscan view of Theology as practical knowledge.…
