Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -In 1492, Columbus stumbled across the Americas while looking for a western route to Asia. Thirty years later, Magellan succeeded where Columbus had failed. The three-year voyage was gruelling: Magellan himself and two-thirds of the crew lost their lives, along with four of the fleet's five ships. However, in one sitting the expedition accomplished three groundbreaking achievements: the discovery of a passage between the Atlantic and the Pacific; the first crossing of the Pacific; and the first circumnavigation of the globe. Drawing on the latest research, The Revolution of Magellan takes us through this physical revolution around the planet and the 500-year-old naval science that made it possible, which was as revolutionary then as rocket science is today. The book also explores how this technological turning point underpinned the wave of European expansion that followed, leading to the death and enslavement of millions and shaping many of today's borders.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -In the wake of COVID-19, almost 25% of the population exhibits an impairment of the olfactory system, with varying severity from total loss (anosmia) to partial loss (hyposmia) to deception in odor quality (e.g. parosmia, phantosmia). As smell is the dominant contributor to flavor perception, it s no surprise that one of the leading causes of depression among those suffering from olfactory impairment is the loss of enjoyment and pleasure in eating. This portion of the population is largely left in the dark as to how to advocate for themselves and to improve their everyday experiences at the dining table.Rediscovering Flavor: A Practical Guide for Smell Loss is the first practical handbook on olfaction to date that is designed for lay readers and scientists alike. It offers individuals with anosmia a resource for more deeply understanding their condition, as well as a wealth of recipes designed specifically for the reintroduction of multisensory pleasure into the eating experience. Readers will thus gain an understanding of the underlying processes behind how flavor is built, allowing them to develop an approach to enjoyment of food by recruiting all aspects of flavor apart from olfaction.This volume also offers practical insights into topics such as how best to discuss your experience with a treating physician, and the potential benefits of a stay at a smell and taste clinic. A primer on treatments and protocols will further explore the concept of the unique plasticity of the olfactory system, and olfactory training (a clinically relevant treatment). Specific culinary reactions (e.g. Maillard reaction) and techniques that can be utilized to stimulate the flavor system will also be introduced.Rediscovering Flavor: A Practical Guide for Smell Loss integrates the most recent science in olfactory research and flavor perception and presents cooking techniques and recipes offering the renewed possibility of experiencing the enjoyment of food, to those who miss it most. 195 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Dieses essential bietet einen kompakten und praxisnahen Überblick über die zentralen Aspekte des Ethnomarketings. Ethnomarketing gewinnt vor dem Hintergrund tiefgreifender demografischer, gesellschaftlicher und kultureller Transformationsprozesse in Deutschland und anderen Migrationsgesellschaften zunehmend an strategischer Relevanz. Der hohe und weiterhin wachsende Anteil der Bevölkerung mit Migrationshintergrund, ihre langfristige Ansiedlung sowie die zunehmende Bedeutung nachfolgender Generationen führen zu dauerhaft veränderten Marktstrukturen, die durch Heterogenität und Diversität gekennzeichnet sind.Im Fokus des Buches steht die Frage, wie Produkte so vermarktet werden können, dass sie in Ethno-Communitys, die sich nach Herkunft, Aufenthaltsdauer, Akkulturationsgrad, Milieuzugehörigkeit, Religiosität, Sprachkompetenz und sozioökonomischen Faktoren differenzieren, authentisch wirken und positive Resonanz erzeugen. 55 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Die neuropsychologische Therapie ist nach ICF stets an Teilhabezielen orientiert. Auch wenn einzelne Funktionsbereiche wie z.B. das Gedächtnis nach einer neurologischen Erkrankung weiter beeinträchtigt sind, ist das Ziel des Rehabilitationsprozesses für den Erkrankten nach der beruflichen (Wieder-)Eingliederung erreicht. Sie steht somit am Ende eines meist schon langen Weges aus unterschiedlichen Therapien und Rehabilitationssettings.Die berufliche Teilhabe ist jedoch oft durch vielfältige Beeinträchtigungen erschwert, hier kommen sowohl kognitive wie auch körperliche und psychische Beschwerden zusammen und treffen auf ganz unterschiedliche berufliche Anforderungen und Arbeitsbedingungen. Es gibt daher keinen allgemeingültigen Therapieleitfaden zur Begleitung des (Wieder-)Eingliederungsprozesses. Auch sind die Rahmenbedingungen für den Weg zurück in den Beruf durch ihre Abhängigkeit von Kostenträgern, Leistungserbringern und dem sozialen Umfeld sehr unterschiedlich. Dieses Buch soll einen Überblick über die vielfältigen Einflussfaktoren geben und die sich daraus ergebenden therapeutischen Handlungsfelder klinischer Neuropsychologen in der beruflichen Teilhabe darstellen.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Dieses Buch zeigt, wie digitale Fehlinformation entsteht und warum sie den klinischen Alltag zunehmend prägt. Patientinnen und Patienten werden durch missverstandene Studien, Social-Media-Inhalte und KI-generierte Aussagen verunsichert; gleichzeitig stehen Gesundheitsfachkräfte vor der Aufgabe, in diesem Umfeld verlässlich zu kommunizieren.Behandelt werden digitale Fehlinformation, verzerrte Gesundheitsinhalte auf Social Media, psychologische Einflussfaktoren sowie Strategien für klare, verständliche Kommunikation. Das Buch erläutert, wie selektive Darstellung von Daten, fehlende Kontextualisierung, algorithmische Verstärkung und scheinbar überzeugende KI-Texte zu Fehlinformation führen. Es beschreibt, warum Menschen solchen Inhalten glauben und wie daraus Unsicherheit und Vertrauensverlust entstehen.Ein Schwerpunkt liegt auf praktischen Methoden, mit denen Fachkräfte irreführende Inhalte ruhig und strukturiert einordnen, zentrale Konzepte wie Risiko, Evidenz oder Bias verständlich erklären und Missverständnisse adressieren, ohne zu konfrontieren. Zudem zeigt das Essential, wie digitale Kanäle etwa Websites, Podcasts oder professionelle Social-Media-Auftritte genutzt werden können, um Orientierung zu geben, Expertise sichtbar zu machen und Vertrauen aufzubauen.Das Buch richtet sich an Gesundheitsfachkräfte und Wissenschaftler, die täglich mit vorinformierten oder falsch informierten Patientinnen und Patienten arbeiten und klare kommunikative Strukturen benötigen.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -This book challenges the long-held theory that the English pronouns they, their, them are loanwords from Old Norse, arguing instead that the pronouns ultimately derive from the Old English demonstratives þa þara þam. Based on the most comprehensive quantitative and qualitative analysis yet published of third-person plural personal pronoun usage in early English, the study presents evidence of morphosyntactic and phonological continuity from Old to Middle English, particularly in the northern and (south)western dialects. It concludes that contact with Old Norse primarily reinforced existing native developments rather than introducing entirely new forms, thus highlighting the complex interplay of internal linguistic evolution and language contact that combined to shape they, their, them. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of Historical Linguistics, Language Variation and Change, Language Contact, as well as readers interested in the history of the English language. 228 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -This open access hospital report 2025 of the Chinese German Centre for Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) includes the Patient Care Evaluation Programme of the first German hospital for traditional Chinese medicine from 2023. The scientific description of the structures, processes and results of the clinic's activities is supplemented by a follow-up survey of patients approximately 6 months after discharge from the hospital until 2024.The TCM-Klinik Bad Kötzting started its medical work in 1991 as the first German hospital for Traditional Chinese Medicine in Germany and can treat German patients with statutory health insurance on the basis of a hospital referral. It is officially designated a university hospital of the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. Today, the hospital is a specialist clinic for psychosomatic medicine and psychotherapy, offering comprehensive inpatient care in conjunction with Traditional Chinese Medicine and in combination with 'conventional' and naturopathic/complementary medical therapies. In addition, a coach- and web-based lifestyle programme is another cornerstone of the overall intervention.During the scientific monitoring of the hospital, it very quickly became clear that testing individual procedures - which are usually used in combination in everyday clinical practice - in exclusively randomised trials was practically impossible and only provided limited meaningful results. Pragmatic and innovative approaches are needed to enable doctors, patients, health insurers and politicians to make rational decisions. One possible solution is the Patient Care Evaluation Programme as a form of real-world evidence developed by Prof. D. Melchart. 498 pp. Englisch.

As smell is the dominant contributor to flavor perception, it's no surprise that one of the leading causes of depression among those suffering from olfactory impairment is the loss of enjoyment and pleasure in eating. This portion of the population is largely left in the dark as to how to advocate for themselves and to improve their everyday experiences at the dining table.Rediscovering Flavor: A Practical Guide for Smell Loss is the first practical handbook on olfaction to date that is designed for lay readers and scientists alike. It offers individuals with anosmia a resource for more deeply understanding their condition, as well as a wealth of recipes designed specifically for the reintroduction of multisensory pleasure into the eating experience. Readers will thus gain an understanding of the underlying processes behind how flavor is built, allowing them to develop an approach to enjoyment of food by recruiting all aspects of flavor apart from olfaction. This volume also offers practical insights into topics such as how best to discuss your experience with a treating physician, and the potential benefits of a stay at a smell and taste clinic. A primer on treatments and protocols will further explore the concept of the unique plasticity of the olfactory system, and olfactory training (a clinically relevant treatment).

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -This book explores the theory-practice gap in applying blockchain to land registries by examining four case studies (Sweden, Georgia, Ghana, and India) where blockchain-based land registry initiatives have been implemented or piloted. Through comparative analysis, it identifies recurring legal, institutional, and infrastructural barriers that have hindered progress, as well as enabling conditions that have supported partial success. Designed for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners in land governance, legal reform, and digital transformation, this study contributes to the growing literature on blockchain in public administration. It moves beyond theoretical promises to assess how and under what conditions blockchain can meaningfully support land administration reform in diverse global contexts.Land registries are foundational institutions, intended to ensure legal certainty, facilitate property transactions, and reduce disputes. Yet in many jurisdictions, they remain plagued by inefficiency, opacity, and limited public trust. While blockchain technology has been widely proposed as a remedy - offering transparency, immutability, and decentralization - empirical evidence on its actual impact remains scarce.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Hat die Geschichte des Menschen eine Richtung, ein Ziel oder ist sie nur ein ewiges Auf und Ab von Kulturen, Regierungen, Gesellschaftssystemen, Wirtschaftsformen, Meinungen Ist sie also von Gesetzmäßigkeit oder von Zufall geprägt Diese Frage bewegt Philosophen und Historiker seit Jahrtausenden.Bis vor kurzem jedoch beruhten die Antworten auf einer sehr lückenhaften, oft auf die jeweils eigene Weltregion beschränkten Kenntnis des geschichtlichen Verlaufs. Erst in den letzten Jahrzehnten ist es der interdisziplinären empirischen Forschung Archäologie, Anthropologie, Klimatologie, Ökonomie, Biologie u.a. gelungen, ein recht vollständiges Bild der zivilisatorischen Entwicklung in allen Weltregionen zu zeichnen; und dabei zeigen sich prägnante Muster, einheitliche Trends und insbesondere eine phänomenale Entwicklung aller relevanten Indikatoren seit etwa 200 Jahren.Das vorliegende Buch beantwortet die Frage Zufall oder Gesetz auf dieser Grundlage neu. Es greift dabei zum einen zurück auf die wichtigsten Geschichtstheorien der Neuzeit (u.a. Vico, Condorcet, Kant, Hegel, Marx), zum anderen auf in den letzten dreißig Jahren veröffentlichten Werke zur Menschheitsgeschichte (u.a. Jared Diamond, Ian Morris, Yuval Harari). Das Buch kombiniert diese Erkenntnisse und folgert daraus eine Gesetzmäßigkeit der Geschichte, in der Freiheit und Selbstbestimmung des Menschen die zentrale Rolle spielen. Den Abschluss des Buches bildet der Teil Wo stehen wir heute als Menschheit , in dem systematisch die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen für Zukunftsprognosen ausgelotet werden.Das Buch ist mit über 20 Abbildungen und Tabellen anschaulich und klar geschrieben; es legt gleichzeitig aber großen Wert auf präzise Argumentation und eine transparente wissenschaftliche Methodik.Fundiert und nachvollziehbar steht so am Ende die These: allen krisenhaften Entwicklungen der Gegenwart zum Trotz steht der Menschheit eine gute, eine faszinierende Zukunft bevor sehr wahrscheinlich. 368 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book examines the history of goblins from the Middle Ages to the present. It shows that goblins whether interpreted as creatures, objects, ideas, or people were historically contingent and grounded in an often-hazy interplay between folkloric and folkloresque traditions. As products of their historical environments, goblins have been imagined and reimagined throughout history. Their various incarnations include demons working on behalf of Satan, residents of Fairyland making mischief for humans, and cave-dwelling villains in Tolkien s or Dungeons & Dragons fantasy universes.Some authors, often early modern and modern Anglophone elites, used goblins as crude, destructive mimicries of what they deemed abnormal. They chose to label certain humans as goblins to indicate those people fell outside of normative ideas about proper appearances and behavior. In the twenty-first century, however, goblins have seen a sympathetic reappraisal; now, they are often portrayed in ways that see these longstanding stereotypes as assets in an age of unreasonable societal expectations.
