Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -If we want to understand the vicissitudes of modern democracy then, argues the author, we need to analyse the ideas upon which representative government is based rather than compare contemporary conditions with the Greek ideal. These principal ideas have been presented clearly in past centuries, when the relation between democracy and representation was still a matter of political judgement. The old masters of political thinking clarified the functions of representation: legitimising power, creating sovereignty but also setting its limits, and pursuing the common good while still reflecting social diversity. Because institutions of representation are expected to fulfil a variety of functions, these institutions have in recent times come under attack for standing in the way of radical programs for democratising democracy. The author of this book reminds us that these functions are necessary in every political order, whether democratic or not. Instead of rejecting representation, political theorists should focus on making government more accountable. 272 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Rural areas in developing countries have the world's highest rates of undernutrition. Based on primary data from an innovative new study in India, this book unravels the complex and manifold causes for the prevalence of weak local diets, breaking down why food consumption choices of rural populations are often monotonous and unhealthy. In the first part, the author describes the economic environment and unfavorable price trends that underpin the prevalence of poor diets. In the second part, he analyzes the effects of agricultural production decisions and markets, showing how production diversity and better market access can have positive benefits. Finally, introducing a novel perspective on the behavioral economics of food consumption, he shows how economic preferences such as risk and altruism ultimately manifest in what people eat. This book is an essential read for audiences interested in the causes of food and nutrition insecurity - and in economic approaches to finding solutions. 262 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -This book is the first monographic study of nineteenth-century transcriptions of Chopin's music. The work is based on the quantitatively and qualitatively rich source material, which formed the basis for considerations from the perspective of social history, music analysis and aesthetics. Thanks to these multiple perspectives, as well as the time range and the source base, this study may contribute to the history of the reception of Chopin's work in nineteenth-century culture; it may also prove significant in overcoming the attitude that aesthetically deprecates transcriptions and in adopting a different stance, regarding such adaptations as valuable texts of musical culture. 310 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Menschen, die nach vormodernen Verständnis bedürftig waren, benötigten i.d.R. lebensnotwendige Unterstützung durch Dritte. Neben privater Versorgung konnten Betroffene in Klöstern, Hospitälern und bei Medizinalvertretern Hilfe finden. Archäologisch wurde dieser Aspekt im Kontext der Medizingeschichte bisher kaum untersucht. Diese interdisziplinäre Studie zeigt das Potential archäologisch erforschter Fürsorgeeinrichtungen als Beitrag zur «Disability History» auf. Herangezogen wurden Baubefunde, Objekte sowie Überreste von Pflanzen, Tieren, menschlichen Skeletten und Parasiten aus über 100 Institutionen. Die Ergebnisse beleuchten u. a. Aufnahmegrund, medizinische Behandlungen sowie die Entwicklung von mittelalterlichen Allround-Anstalten zu modernen Krankenhäusern und Sozialeinrichtungen. 646 pp. Deutsch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Since the late 1970s there has been a marked internationalization of Irish drama, with individual plays, playwrights, and theatrical companies establishing newly global reputations.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In this fascinating reappraisal of the non-literary drama of the late 19th - early 20th century, Christopher Fitz-Simon discloses a unique world of plays, players and producers in metropolitan theatres in Ireland and other countries where Ireland was viewed as a source of extraordinary topics at once contemporary and comfortably remote: revolution, eviction, famine, agrarian agitation, political assassination.The form was the fashionable one of melodrama, yet Irish melodrama was of a particular kind replete with hidden messages, and the language was far more allusive, colourful and entertaining than that of its English equivalent. There was much diversity, as shown in plays as different as Murray & Shine's An Irish Gentleman, Hubert O'Grady's The Priest Hunter, J.W.Whitbread's The Victoria Cross and Edward Selden's McKenna's Flirtation. 306 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Social and human sciences are currently in a special position. On the one hand, they are subject to frequent doubts and mistrust while on the other hand, there is a view that the 21st century will be a century of social and human sciences, addressing their importance in solving key cultural and social issues of humanity. In general, however, we can observe a decreasing interest in human and social sciences. The authors of the book believe that the rejection of the importance of human sciences is based on a fundamental misconception of facts. Society's education and culture is a prerequisite for the economic level of each country. Innovation is not only a matter of technical importance; it is equally important to understand human cultural behaviour in the broadest possible context. This book presents studies in selected topics from social, human and historical sciences that demonstrate the relevance of the research in the area under consideration. The contributors to this book are researchers in the departments of Archaeology, Ethnology and Folklore, History, Culture and Tourism Management of Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra. 174 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Today the Asia-Pacific region stands on the verge of major change, with centuries of western dominated regional order being seriously challenged and quite possibly nearing its end. The emergence of a potential new order dominated by regional rather than extra-regional powers - an «Asia for the Asiatics» in the words of Japan's pan-Asian scholars - means it is now more than ever essential to understand the history of the current western-dominated system, the full implications should it continue and the nature of the West's intentions towards the region. This book undertakes the task of elucidating the complex and little-known history of western intervention in the Asia-Pacific, providing information critical to understanding contemporary developments 752 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The study deals with Industrial Symbiosis (IS), a term used to describe a network of diverse organizations that make use of different by-products to improve their facility to achieve common goals, improve environmental conditions or improve business and technical processes.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, en Allemagne et en Autriche occupées, les Alliés mettent en oeuvre des politiques de dénazification. Dans ce cadre, une épuration judiciaire, administrative et professionnelle est conduite dans chacune des quatre zones d'occupation des deux pays. Les pratiques épuratoires varient selon les secteurs professionnels et les régions. Si l'on observe une homogénéisation croissante dans le futur territoire de la RFA, passant notamment par l'association des Allemands à l'entreprise, la dénazification n'est jamais uniforme.Cet ouvrage collectif présente la dénazification menée en zone française d'occupation en Allemagne principalement. Il met l'accent sur les points communs, les différences et les interactions avec les pratiques menées dans les trois autres zones. Grâce à de nouvelles sources désormais accessibles, il est possible de saisir au plus près les réalités de l'épuration et les conditions de la transition démocratique après le nazisme. Car l'ambition de la dénazification est immense : sanctionner pénalement les criminels, neutraliser les élites fonctionnelles ayant servi le régime nazi, évaluer la compromission politique de plus de 8,5 millions d'Allemands membres du NSDAP, mais surtout - essentiel pour l'avenir - réformer et démocratiser la société allemande et, en accord avec cet objectif, réintégrer progressivement la plupart de ceux qui avaient été écartés au lendemain de la guerre. Avec le recul, si l'épuration a parfois été jugée bien limitée à l'Ouest, en zone française notamment, la démocratisation est un acquis durable de l'après-1945. 286 pp. Englisch, Französisch, Deutsch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book analyzes the literature that emerged from World War II. It also examines the literature that resulted from the two major earthquakes that have struck Japan over the course of over the last hundred years. The small number of volumes previously published examining the literature of war and earthquakes in Japan have almost always focused exclusively on fiction while this volume focuses mainly on poetry. This volume breaks new ground in its attempt to draw together and analyze the literature produced by these tragedies as a single phenomenon. It provides a new template for the literature of trauma produced by such events as the earthquake that accompanied the tsunami and nuclear meltdown in northeast Japan in 2011. 274 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -La didactique du français ne peut faire l'économie de penser les effets des nouvelles technologies sur le français et sur son enseignement, au risque soit de perdre son adéquation au réel, soit de manquer d'un recul critique nécessaire pour se prémunir d'éventuels effets dommageables. L'enjeu de cet ouvrage est d'explorer, de part et d'autre de la frontière scolaire, traditionnellement étanche, les jeux de circulation et d'innovation qui en marquent la rénovation. Dans un premier temps sont regroupés les articles qui mettent au jour le renouvellement des pratiques enseignantes traditionnelles, la redéfinition de certains savoirs scolaires, la promotion du travail collaboratif, l'usage inédit des hyperliens et l'exploration de la multimodalité. Dans un second temps, plusieurs articles étudient les pratiques communicationnelles sur les réseaux sociaux et les plateformes de sociabilité numérique, ainsi que le possible usage de celles-ci pour établir des liens plus serrés entre l'école et la vie des élèves, voire d'imaginer de nouvelles voies d'actualisation du savoir et de la culture, à même de garantir la transmission, au coeur des ruptures induites par ces nouveaux medias eux-mêmes. 140 pp. Französisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Her book, written in the mid-20th century, is now published in full for the first time. It draws on her long experience as performer, broadcaster what she learnt from her teachers about Liszt's interpretation of the piano music of his contemporaries, in particular of his friend Chopin, how he wanted his own piano works performed, and what special techniques facilitated the interpretations he favoured, as well as his own virtuoso performance. This is presented in discussions of many well-known works of the classical piano repertoire, and richly illustrated with extracts from the compositions in question. These musical examples have been played and video-recorded for the DVD accompanying the book.This is a document of considerable historical importance, offering an authoritative account of Liszt's teaching methods as imparted by two of his former students to whom he was particularly close. It contains much valuable information of a kind that is unavailable elsewhere: none of the reminiscences of Liszt published by his students discuss technical matters or interpretation in comparable detail. It records a direct and authentic oral tradition of continental European pianism going back to the nineteenth century. 302 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The topic of English language education for pupils with general intellectual giftedness is rare in worldwide research areas. Even though research into English language education receives great attention and similarly does gifted education, the connection is not very common. The aim of this research study is to investigate the state of, and current challenges to, English language teaching in gifted education. Multiple methods (participant observation, interview and survey) were used under the 'umbrella' of the case study with the aim to achieve an in-depth understanding of the case. Research findings reflect which principles, teaching techniques, types of activities and materials are used, what English teachers' positions concerning their qualifications, experiences, beliefs and problems are, and what learning strategies gifted learners use when learning a foreign language. 174 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The main purpose of the book is to examine from numerous and distinct, albeit complementary perspectives how logistics feeds into region-building. The angle of approach is to reach resolutely beyond logistical and material aspects of border-crossing in order to tackle cultural, symbolic, identity-based as well as institutional, legal and political dimensions of the contemporary 'pooling' of sovereignties in today's Eurasia. Thus, constitutive chapters of the book draw from analyses as remote as historical, environmental, diplomatic and cybernetic, to mention but a few. Its main conclusions are that region-building consists largely in concrete changes that affect material aspects of country-to-country dynamics, not just in material-political decisions even if these remain necessary to launch a novel process and to secure it into confidence-building. This blend of logics also involves a multi-scale evolution whereby both local (infra-regional) and regional (supra-national) levels, taken together, make sense. Hence, to probe into one dimension only - the changing nature of borders, both in Europe and Asia, from lines of sovereign divisions to passage-points for exchanges -, induces the bilateral and multi-lateral capacity to 'innovate' within long-term historical givens and to turn nationalistic hostility into dynamics of multiplication of shared exchanges and profits. From a methodological requirement, comparing what seems at first, very different - a fully integrating Europe and a newly co-operative Asia - makes it possible, on the face of it, to uncover and decipher dynamics that are similar in their essence (regional, post-war) even if they differ in details (institutional idiosyncrasies, hurdles). 386 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book on the Irish liturgical artist Richard King (1907-74), examines his career in the context of religion, nationalism and modernism. The book focuses on the interdisciplinary relationship between religion and art during pre- and post-Vatican II Ireland. The importance of Irishness and nationalism is shown by the artist's early secular work of the 1930s and 1940s. His apprenticeship under Harry Clarke (1889-1931) was pivotal for his principal career as a stained glass artist. However, his departure from the Harry Clarke Stained Glass Studios in 1940 allowed him to gradually move away from Clarke's influence and to develop his own artistic identity. King was also a talented illustrator for The Capuchin Annual and The Father Mathew Record. From the late 1940s to the early 1970s, his awareness of the work of other artists in Ireland, England and Europe led him to engage with modernism. The Documents of Vatican II and his interest in the Scriptures and theology enabled King to grow at the spiritual level which was reflected in his religious art of the mid to late 1960s and early 1970s. His study of the theological writings of French palaeontologist, philosopher and theologian Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881-1955) was crucial for King's more intellectual approach to matters of Christian faith. 494 pp. Englisch.…
