Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Many researchers dread writing. They find it laborious - even painful - to put their scholarly work into words. They get bogged down in the study, and lose track of the story. And they produce uninspiring papers that fail to resonate with readers or reviewers. This book offers an antidote to this problem: brief, accessible lessons that guide researchers to write clear and compelling scientific manuscripts. The book is divided into three sections - Story, Craft, and Community. The Story section offers advice on getting the balance of study and story just right, introducing strategies for tackling each section of a scientific manuscript. The Craft section considers the grammatical and rhetorical tools of the trade, showing how they can be wielded for maximum impact. And the Community section offers suggestions for writing collaboratively, supporting other writers, and navigating peer review.Each section features multiple short and pragmatic lessons, peppered with illustrative examples. Readers can use the chapters collectively to build holistic writing skills, or dip in and out to refine specific elements of the craft. Rooted in a coaching philosophy, we aim to unlock our readers' potential as writers through instruction, reflection, and example.And we hope to inspire researchers to face writing with joy.This work is clearly written and easily understandable. Its many practical examples, tools, and exercises make an effective toolbox of support for scholarly writers. This will be invaluable to new scholars and help established scholars as well.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Algebraic Geometry is a fascinating branch of Mathematics that combines methods from both Algebra and Geometry. It transcends the limited scope of pure Algebra by means of geometric construction principles. Putting forward this idea, Grothendieck revolutionized Algebraic Geometry in the late 1950s by inventing schemes. Schemes now also play an important role in Algebraic Number Theory, a field that used to be far away from Geometry. The new point of view paved the way for spectacular progress, such as the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem by Wiles and Taylor.This book explains the scheme-theoretic approach to Algebraic Geometry for non-experts, while more advanced readers can use it to broaden their view on the subject. A separate part presents the necessary prerequisites from Commutative Algebra, thereby providing an accessible and self-contained introduction to advanced Algebraic Geometry.Every chapter of the book is preceded by a motivating introduction with an informal discussion of its contents and background. Typical examples, and an abundance of exercises illustrate each section. Therefore the book is an excellent companion for self-studying or for complementing skills that have already been acquired. It can just as well serve as a convenient source for(reading) course material and, in any case, as supplementary literature. The present edition is a critical revision of the earlier text. 516 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Dieses Buch stellt das Vorhaben der seit 2011 in Deutschland angestrebten Energiewende mit Schwerpunkt auf der Nutzung von elektrischem Strom aus erneuerbaren Quellen auf den Prüfstand. Deutschland will mit dieser Vorgehensweise einen Beitrag zu einer weitestgehend CO2-freien Energieversorgung leisten und plant eine beispielhaft gelungene, neuartige, deutlich 'klimaneutralere' Energiebereitstellung für Stromanwendungen, Mobilität, Heizung sowie gewerbliche und industrielle Bedarfe. Diese Energiewende stellt eine enorme, bisher einzigartige technische und organisatorische Herausforderung dar. Wenn die Politik die damit verbundenen Größenordnungen über die nächsten 20 Jahre nicht berücksichtigt, wird die Energiewende in der bisher praktizierten Form nicht gelingen. Und schon auf dem Weg bis 2030 drohen einige höchst riskante Stolpersteine.Der Autor erläutert die wichtigsten technischen Hintergründe und Voraussetzungen einer funktionierenden Energiewende undzeigt auf, wo zwar gute Absichten, jedoch durch die bisherige Politik zu wenig beachtete sachliche und auch technische Probleme vorherrschen. Er gibt wissenschaftlich fundierte Anregungen, welche Probleme bewältigt werden müssen, damit die Energiewende doch noch zu einem Erfolg werden kann. 208 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -This book is the first work to comprehensively investigate the enclaves of non-Japanese residents in Japan. In a comparative study, it convincingly examines eight enclaves of five nationalities (Chinese, Korean, Filipino, Brazilian and Turkish) in twelve municipalities. Japan now leads in terms of depopulation in countries affiliated with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The fact that the country has been supplementing the decreased number of Japanese nationals with an increase in migrants, who form enclaves, has attracted great attention. The temporal development and status quo of such enclaves are important concerns of researchers, policymakers and the general public. This publication is the result of joint studies by geographers and sociologists and contributes to a more detailed understanding of these topics. It thus represents a valuable achievement in the study of the segregation and enclave formation of minority nationalities. The empirical validity of existing explanatory frameworks, such as spatial assimilation and heterolocalism, is also discussed in a Japanese context. 208 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -This book advances the understanding and modelling of sensemaking and cultural processes as being crucial to the scientific study of contemporary complex societies. It outlines a dynamic, processual conception of culture and a general view of the role of cultural dynamics in policy-making, drawing three significant methodological implications: pluralism, performativity, and semiotic capital. It focuses on the theoretical and methodological aspects of the analysis of culture and its dynamics that could be applied to the developing of policymaking and, in general, to the understanding of social phenomena. It draws from the experience and data of a large-scale project, RECRIRE, funded by the H2020 program that mapped the symbolic universes across Europe after the economic crisis. It further develops the relationship between culture and policy-making discussed in two previous volumes in this series, and constitutes the ideal third and final element of this trilogy. The book is a useful tool for academics involved in studying cultural dynamics and for policy-oriented researchers and decision-makers attentive to the cultural dimensions of the design, implementation and reception of public policies. 252 pp. Englisch.
