Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Luke Wadding was a pivotal figure in the seventeenth century. This book begins by exploring his early years in his birthplace of Waterford and the circumstances of his leaving Ireland for the European continent. As a friar Wadding enjoyed access to the most prominent centres of learning in the Iberian Peninsula. We learn about daily life as it was lived at Salamanca where Wadding became a professor of theology. We then move to Italy and the reasons for Wadding's arrival at the papal court, his scholarly travels and early publications as Franciscan chronicler, placing a specific focus on the illustration of his own books. Here and elsewhere we observe Wadding's capacity for establishing a wide circle of friends. In Rome he successfully created a nexus of knowledge and made his home at St. Isidore's College. Wadding related to the Eternal City through cultural engagement. This section of the book therefore deals with the art and architecture of Wadding's world, the cultural production of books, and the inspiration he gave for a new college in Prague. Throughout this work digs deep into Wadding's writings, his papers and recent scholarship to provide a unique and accurate account that reveals as much as possible about him. Wadding reached a position of considerable influence while achieving international recognition and maintaining connections to his family in Ireland. As such Wadding is essential to understanding the labyrinth of the papal court and the tangled politics of Ireland in the 1640s. The book charts developments in his career while maintaining chronological order. The next section reveals the damage done by a decade of war in Ireland, the limits of support for Wadding and that sense of insecurity that spread among the Irish abroad. The book closes by examining how Wadding survived to complete a publication campaign that he started a quarter of a century earlier while continuing to cultivate close contacts that protected his long-term interests after his death in 1657.2025 marks the 400-year celebration of St Isidore's Franciscan College (Collegio S. Isidoro), founded by Luke Wadding OFM for Irish friars to study for the priesthood and as a centre of theological scholarship.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -La literatura criminal española disfruta su boom particular, pero los estudios académicos sobre esta no han analizado el concepto de justicia; que no siempre coincide con la ley. Gran parte de los publicados en España, EE. UU. y Gran Bretaña abordan el comportamiento de los protagonistas según lo que se espera del género. En el mundo anglosajón abundan, además, las publicaciones sobre crímenes que antes no se consideraban tales y sobre las víctimas. Los investigadores se clasifican en base a su actitud ante la ley. Se han analizado los perfiles psicológicos de los criminales y la psicología de las víctimas, pero la justicia era una asignatura pendiente.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Le livre approfondit la connaissance de Lev Vygotski à travers les travaux que lui a consacrés le philosophe Lucien Sève. Vygotski, l'un des auteurs les plus cités en sciences de l'éducation met au coeur de sa pensée le rôle de la médiation par les autres et par les oeuvres humaines dans le développement de la personne de l'enfant à l'adulte.

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book analyses Tolkien's approach to the depiction of vices and virtues in three Middle-earth works, The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion. While providing a general synthetising overview of up-to-date research in the topic, its uniqueness consists in the fact that it goes beyond what has yet been written in the field by attempting to present a complex comparative analysis of the role of the seven cardinal vices and their opposing virtues as recognised by the Catholic Church in the three Tolkien's works. This book has a threefold aim. The first is to determine how much Tolkien's depiction of vices and virtues is concordant with their theological understanding. The second is to explore to what extent, in depicting them, Tolkien adhered to the principles of his own theory of sub-creation and the theology of fantasy. And the third is to investigate the differences and similarities in the depiction of the vices and virtues between his three major works. 336 pp. Englisch.…

Beyond institutional transformation, it critically examines the enduring relationship between the Ottomans/Turks and Europe/the West.Rejecting binary frameworks, the book challenges conventional narratives that position the Ottoman Empire and Turkey outside of European history and identity.

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This work explores portrayals of Spanish immigration to the United States (1900-1950) through six novels. It examines how Spanish immigrants navigate cultural shifts, balancing their heritage with American culture, and traces the evolution of their identities through history, language, and transculturation. Using theories of hybridization and Third Space identity, the study analyzes immigrant transformation across different periods and places. The volume includes a theoretical framework, a historical overview, and discussions of memory, language, and cultural assimilation.The volume addresses transculturality, hybridization, communication, and spatial cohabitation under the lens of logos and cultural integration, which are axes of the modern construction of individual and collective personalities.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This book explores the evolution of the university, moving from its classical focus on Bildung and its symbolic association with ruins, to the contemporary struggle to define the role of values in shaping society through education and research. Education and research are presented as crucial phenomena for societal development, while individualism is highlighted as a key factor in understanding the interaction between society and the surrounding world. We briefly examine the international and multidisciplinary nature of modern education and research, emphasizing the influence of technological progress on their aims and practices. By linking educational philosophies from various cultural epistemes, this book reviews contributions from Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi (Swiss educational reformer), Friedrich Froebel (German educational reformer), John Dewey (American pragmatist), Miguel de Unamuno and Ortega y Gasset (Spanish intellectuals), Paul Natorp (neo-Kantian pedagogue), Maria Montessori (creator of the Montessori method), Jean Piaget (who connected epistemology with psychology), and Bertrand Russell (British philosopher and educator). The book contextualizes the role of social factors in shaping education>al practices across cultural contexts. Foundational ideas from Rousseau, Kant, and Hegel are discussed, along with contributions by Natorp and Herbart to social pedagogy and individual ethics. Subsequent sections delve into three core areas: ethical issues in education, the conceptualization of education as a value, and the influence of modern technologies on educational practices. The chapter on research pro>vides a historical overview of how science has been integrated into universities in the West and developed externally in the East. It examines ethical issues in research, positions research as a value, and evaluates the transformative role of modern technologies in scientific inquiry. The discussion transitions to the modern university, tracing its historical mission and organizational models through the perspectives of Vernadsky, Ortega y Gasset, and Russell. Topics such as academic citizenship and the significance of public health research are explored as integral to contemporary university functions. The book also investigates the impact of technological progress on education and research, emphasizing the pivotal role of university-driven public health research. The following chapter, Case Study: Teaching and Research in Georgia, examines authors' experience with the organization and management of teaching and research in Georgian universities. This case study highlights the challenges faced by universities in a rapidly changing world and reflects on how classical approaches to education and research can be transformed when these institutions become both products of mass consumption and centers of excellence. Georgian universities offer a lens to understand current dynamics and envision the near future of academic life. The final chapter, Human Happiness, explores the concept of happiness through an educational lens. It investigates how education can cultivate a unique sense of fulfillment-a form of pleasure that, while akin to others, is distinct in its reliance on intellectual and personal growth facilitated by learning.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 148 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book invites the reader on a profound journey through the intricate tapestry of African anthropology, Christology, and patristic dialogue. Author Benedict Ehinack unearths the roots of African Christology, forged through the crucible of history where Christianity met Greek philosophy, and the early church fathers ingeniously leveraged Hellenistic anthropology to articulate a normative Christology.Drawing upon the author's own experiences and cultural insights, and utilizing a multifaceted methodological framework, this Christological odyssey takes the reader deep into the heart of African spirituality. Through the lens of popular gospel songs, the book shows how contemporary African Christological models harmonize with Scripture and tradition, and illuminates concepts such as Christology of proximity, functional Christology, and Mariology of liberation.This book unveils and amplifies Africa's unique voice in the global theological landscape, shedding light on the dynamic dialogue between African anthropology, Christology, and patristics theology. This book, a testament to Africa's enduring spiritual legacy, also serves as a reminder that since the Gospel message is inspired, but the mode of its expression is not, contextualization of the modes of expression is not only necessary but urgent. 210 pp. Englisch.…

Neuware -The filmography representing the 'Portuguese Orient' during the Estado Novo (1933-1974) is scarce and late, employing a simplified Luso- tropicalist rhetoric that repeatedly actualises the myth of a vast, long-lost, territory. This book examines the impact of cinematographic representations of the former Portuguese territories in the Orient on socio-cultural memories and narrative identities, through a critical exhumation of the archives and analysis of existing filmography. The analysis reveals that films of the 'Portuguese Orient' depict this imagined community with a certain degree of vagueness. This is largely a consequence of the prolonged disintegration of the metropolis' relationship with this imagined community, a relationship that was mainly based on projections (about their alleged Portuguese identity) and ruins.GPSR Kontakt, Juan Ignacio Luca de Tena, 15, 28027 Madrid 164 pp. Englisch. …

Neuware -This book provides a comprehensive study of the intersection of mindfulness and ethos in Irish Catholic primary schools. Charting the Buddhist origins of mindfulness to the contemporary evolutions, reinterpretations and iterations of the practice the study asks if, and when, mindfulness is (and isn't) compatible with the educational vision underpinning Catholic primary schools in an increasingly secularised, detraditionalised Irish society. The book contextualises the explosive popularity of mindfulness across many sectors of society, including Irish educational policy and curricular reform, particularly around wellbeing. The book presents a rich analysis of Church teaching and theological research and literature on Catholic education both nationally and internationally, enabling an authentic dialogue with mindfulness practice in Catholic schools to see if common ground can be identified. This is a compelling account of a new chapter in Catholic education's encounter with contemporary culture.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 328 pp. Englisch. …

Neuware -In linguistic morphology, competition is expected to be resolved, on the grounds that it is not economical for a system to keep two or more processes for one purpose. This volume researches overt suffixation and zeröaffixation for the nominalisation of the semantic categories action, agentive, instrument and state aiming at hints of resolution, diachronically and in present¿day English, using both lexicographic and corpus sources. Specifically, the book explores resolution in terms of specialisation regarding mode, register, and meaning. To this aim, (i) the frequency of use of each semantic category is computed for every competitor, (ii) statistical analysis is performed to test association between mode or register and word¿formation process and (iii) semantic specialisation is explored in individual groups of competition.The results enlarge on the claim that competition may take place to varying degrees and prove that it needs to be researched at the level of the semantic category.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 216 pp. Englisch.…

Neuware -This book brings together a range of researchers to explore the growth and development of the women's game in Britain and Ireland. They are active across a diverse range of fields, from historians and heritage practitioners, to those from the arts such as playwrights and documentary directors. This edited collection draws together both regional and national studies to provide a more nuanced understanding of the history of the women's game in Britain and Ireland than has been possible before. Chapters in this book explore new findings around the development of key teams, players, and organisations, and in doing so enrich the historiography of the game.Often books on the history of football have taken a narrative approach focusing only on the research findings or 'story'. This is of course important, but in this book the editors also wanted to reflect the ways in which research into the history of women's football has been shared and explored within a range of spaces and communities. There is a huge untapped audience who want to engage with the history of the sport. By reflecting on previous arts/heritage-based projects we can explore new avenues regarding how academic research can be made accessible to the general public and in turn how arts/ heritage-based projects can inform academic research.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 332 pp. Englisch.…

An exemplary account of how new lyric voices can break down binary oppositions while finding different forms of subjectification and self-representation.' - Jonathan Culler, Cornell UniversityPoetics of Becoming: Women's Poetry in Italy's Long Seventies explores the work of Elsa Morante, Amelia Rosselli, Patrizia Cavalli, and Biancamaria Frabotta, examining how their poetry redefined lyric subjectivity in 1970s Italy. Engaging with feminist theory and cultural history, the book interrogates the category of scrittura femminile and its limitations, considering how these poets navigated questions of political agency, heterodox experimentalism, and marginalization within a male-dominated literary canon. Through close readings and comparative analysis, it highlights their responses to the feminist movement, postwar Italian politics, and philosophical debates. The study argues that their poetry enacts a process of 'becoming', destabilizing fixed identities and expanding the boundaries of lyric expression as a site of both resistance and renewal. Poetics of Becoming reimagines the relationship between gender, politics, and poetics, offering a new framework for understanding women's poetry in modern Italy.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 254 pp. Englisch.…

Neuware -The voice assistance notion gained wider recognition in the 2010s amidst the launch of mainstream voice-controlled software and apps, such as Siri, Google Assistant, and Alexa. Despite its potential linguistic and affective benefits, learners' communication with such technologies has been understudied. Given the gaps in the CALL research, the book reports a mixed-methods investigation of voice assistance occurring in a novel context of task-based mediation practice by Polish secondary school learners of English. It brings together methodological, pedagogical, and technological trends in foreign language education in Europe by setting out such principal buzzwords as action-orientation, mediation, and human-machine communication. It also provides an analysis of the selected European and Polish educational legislation and statistical reports to give further insights into the problem of mediation practice and English as a foreign language learning and teaching.The monograph makes an original contribution to the field of computer-assisted language learning, and specifically to the emerging subfield of intelligent CALL accessed on mobile devices. It addresses the acquisition of an important skill in language use and language learning, namely mediation. The research is presented against a background of evolving ideas on language education in Europe and in relation to the specific circumstances pertaining to education in Poland.
