Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Rise and Decline of Civilizations: Lessons for the Jewish People is a thought experiment in which the author examines the work of 23 historians of the last 2,400 years, from Thucydides to Jared Diamond, who describe the rise and decline of nations and civilizations. None of these is a historian of Judaism. The key question of the book is whether the reasons that explain the rise, decline, and fall of other civilizations could apply to the Jews as well. The answer of the author is a qualified yes. From the work of these historians he extracts 12 'drivers,' or factors that explain rise and decline, from religion to natural catastrophes. Reviewing the Jewish history of more than 3,000 years against the background of these drivers opens fascinating new vistas for the general reader, and may be particularly useful to historians and politicians.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Innovative, constructive, and continually evolving technologies are propelling microbiology into an exciting new era. This new era will witness the harnessing and control of complex microbial communities in a huge variety of applications in the industrial, medical, and environmental spheres. State-of-the-art tools are being developed and utilized to analyze the molecules that microorganisms possess and generate, including DNA, RNA, proteins, lipids, and cellular metabolites. This book, written by international experts in the field, presents emerging molecular methods that allow the diversity of a microbial community to be surveyed and its functions to be investigated. The first section provides examples of the application of molecular microbiological methods in various industrial applications. The second section deals with the identification of microorganisms in medical settings, while the third section presents case studies that use molecular methods to assess the structure and function of microbial communities in natural environments. The fourth part of the book describes in greater detail the methods and technologies featured in the preceding case studies, including metagenomics, stable isotope probing, fluorescence in situ hybridization, quantitative PCR, reverse transcription PCR, and single cell methods. These detailed descriptions will enable readers to evaluate the applicability of various tools for approaching questions and case studies of their own. This practical, authoritative, and up-to-date volume is a valuable resource for anyone applying or developing molecular methods in any area of microbiology and is a recommended acquisition for all microbiology laboratories.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Bei der Konservierung und musealen Präsentation von performativen, klang- und bewegtbildbasierten Kunstwerken müssen Kuratoren und Restauratoren häufig zwischen der historischen Materialität und der künstlerischen Intention des Werkes abwägen. Dabei wird das Anliegen verfolgt, die Authentizität des Werkes, das in verschiedenen Manifestationen bzw. Inszenierungen existieren kann, zu definieren und zu bewahren. Der Band dokumentiert die Vortragsbeiträge der gleichnamigen Tagung der Stiftung imai, die im November 2012 in Düsseldorf stattfand und wird durch ein Interview mit dem Künstler Lutz Mommartz erweitert. Es werden mehrere Fallbeispiele vorgestellt und daran anknüpfend Begriffe wie Rekonstruktion, Reproduktion und Remake in der heutigen Ausstellungs- und Konservierungspraxis diskutiert. Welche Wege beschreiten Museen und Ausstellungshäuser, um ephemere Kunstwerke zu zeigen Ist gegenwärtig die Zuordnung in Kategorien wie Original und Kopie obsolet geworden Inwieweit kann sich eine Interpretation an der Ausstellungsgeschichte eines Werkes orientieren Kann der performative oder auch konzeptuelle Charakter von Werken so ausgeprägt sein, dass Reinszenierungen abweichende und trotzdem authentische Lösungen darstellen Mit Beiträgen von Renate Buschmann, Claudia Giannetti, Ute Hörner, Maija Julius, Lutz Mommartz, Katrin Mundt, Darija Simunovic, Bernhard Serexhe und Fenna Yola Tykwer.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 152 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Trotz fortschreitender Globalisierungs- und Internationalisierungstrends, steigender Mobilität und weltweiter kommunikativer Verflechtung lösen sich Orientierungen an herkunftsbezogenen Zugehörigkeiten nicht auf, sondern gewinnen zunehmend an gemeinschaftsstiftender Bedeutung. Die vorliegende Publikation widmet sich diesem scheinbaren Widerspruch und erarbeitet ein differenziertes Erklärungsmodell, das gesellschaftsstrukturelle und sozialpsychologische Ursachenmomente ausgrenzender Identitätskonstruktionen integriert. Fremdenfeindlichkeit und Rechtsextremismus werden in ihrer Funktionalität als ambivalenzreduzierende und statussichernde Stabilisatoren untersucht, die in strukturellem Zusammenhang mit der ambivalenten Dynamik des gesellschaftlichen Modernisierungsprozesses zu verstehen sind. Anhand empirischer Beispiele aus der Rechtsextremismusforschung werden psychostrukturelle Risikokonstellationen aufgezeigt, deren Existenz die Entstehung fremdenfeindlicher Orientierungen bedingt.Bernadette Goldberger, geboren 1985, Studium der Politikwissenschaft und Geschichte in Wien und Paris. Längere Forschungsaufenthalte am Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas in Madrid sowie am Instituto Gino Germani der Universität Buenos Aires. Forschungsschwerpunkte: Politische Soziologie, Diskursanalyse, Identität und Differenz.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The Jewish community of the Polish border town of Brzesc (Brisk in Yiddish),which had numbered almost 30,000 people, was wiped out during the Holocaust, with only about 10 of its members surviving. One of them was Masza Pinczuk, who escaped from the Brzesc ghetto on the eve of its liquidation on Oct. 15, 1942. Her future husband succeeded in escaping from the Warsaw ghetto. They were the sole survivors of their respective families, and in this volume their daughter, Regina Grol, shares their story and meditates on the legacy of the Holocaust, exploring the lingering impact of the Holocaust on the following generations. Based on interviews and letters, and checked against historical facts, the book includes supporting documents and photographs. It also contains an account of the author's 'internal flanerie' (to use Walter Benjamin's term), i.e., a retrospective and introspective look at her own life as a child of Holocaust survivors. 186 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Published in 2009, the first edition of Forensic Victimology introduced criminologists and criminal investigators to the idea of systematically gathering and examining victim information for the purposes of addressing investigative and forensic issues. The concepts presented within immediately proved vital to social scientists researching victims-offender relationships; investigators and forensic scientists seeking to reconstruct events and establish the elements of a crime; and criminal profilers seeking to link pattern crimes. This is because the principles and guidelines in Forensic Victimology were written to serve criminal investigation and anticipate courtroom testimony. As with the first, this second edition of Forensic Victimology is an applied presentation of a traditionally theoretical subject written by criminal justice practitioners with years of experience-both in the field and in the classroom. It distinguishes the investigative and forensic aspects of applied victim study as necessary adjuncts to what has often been considered a theoretical field. It then identifies the benefits of forensic victimology to casework, providing clearly defined methods and those standards of practice necessary for effectively serving the criminal justice system. 30% new content, with new chapters on Emergency Services, False Confessions, and Human Trafficking Use of up-to-date references and case examples to demonstrate the application of forensic victimology Provides context and scope for both the investigative and forensic aspects of case examination and evidence interpretation Approaches the study of victimology from a realistic standpoint, moving away from stereotypes and archetypes Useful for students and professionals working in relation to behavioral science, criminology, criminal justice, forensic science, and criminal investigation 656 pp. Englisch.
