Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In the history of the European Communities, a declaration on European identity was adopted for the first time at the Copenhagen Summit in December 1973.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The central idea of this Christian educational philosophy is that teachers are guides. The authors use this metaphor to express that teachers play a crucial role in an era dominated by artificial intelligence and meritocracy. The book addresses the main topics of an educational discourse, such as the role of the teacher, the view on learning individuals, and the nature of knowledge. Besides this, attention is paid to the relationship between pedagogy and theology, the contributions that teachers make to a vital school culture, and how a school can revitalise its Christian identity.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Theories and practices of signification have flourished across space and time. This book examines premodern thinking on signs in ancient Greek philosophy, Chinese divination, Islamic theology, Hebrew epistemology, medieval Latin logic, South Asian language theory, and early modern European artificial languages. Each chapter analyzes and contextualizes key primary sources presented in their original language and English translation, offering rich resources for comparative analysis of approaches to semiosis in religious and scholarly exegesis, prognostication, and the philosophical search for distinctions between natural and artificial signs. The volume brings to light both universal concerns and unique cultural features that shaped the evolution of semiotics. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The apparently centuries-old field of 'the history of cartography' was invented after 1950 through incomplete historiographies by leading map historians. This monograph uses an empirically grounded analysis of the ways in which early maps have been systematically studied since the early 1800s to offer an innovative account of the practices and institutions of comparative map history in support of Western imperialism and nationalism, and of how the field was reconfigured as the core of a newly idealized discipline of 'the history of cartography.'.…

Grotius's treatise is indispensable for understanding his ideas about legal relations between Christians and non-Christians, both in international and domestic contexts.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - What if Old Norwegian syntax diverged from Old Icelandic earlier than previously assumed Discover the hidden dynamics of Old Norwegian syntax in this groundbreaking volume that challenges the long-held view that Old Norwegian and Old Icelandic can, on a syntactic level, be treated uniformly under the broader term 'Old Norse.' Through detailed analyses of information structure and prosodic weight, this book reveals - among other findings - an early shift toward fixed VO word order in Old Norwegian, contrasting with Old Icelandic's freer syntax. Drawing on thoroughly annotated Old Norwegian corpus data and comparative insights from other Germanic languages, this monograph offers new perspectives for scholars of historical linguistics and Scandinavian studies, as well as manuscript research.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Toward a Global History of Soil unearths material expertise about soil in the early modern world that has remained largely unexamined outside of the study of agricultural history. Its eleven chapters reveal how experimental investigations transformed the economics of land administration, the treatment of disease, and hydraulic engineering. New methodologies to evaluate the productive qualities of soil led to radical changes in medicine, chemistry, botany, and household management. This book is the first to examine how the emergence of practical, systematic attempts to understand the nature of soil contributed to the development of early modern sciences.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book explores the evolving identities, practices and challenges faced by adult educators across Europe in the context of recent crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, and economic and social upheavals. These events have reshaped the educational landscape, disrupted adult learning and demanded rapid adjustments from adult educators. The book examines how these crises impact educators' identities, agency, and professional practice, particularly considering the precarious working conditions many face. Through empirical studies and theoretical reflections, the book investigates how adult educators navigate these turbulent times, addressing identity formation, professionalisation, and adaptation, while highlighting the ethical and social dimensions of their work.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - There is hardly a sixteenth-century genre that Erasmus did not try, often ambitiously. He made big books from little things: proverbs, anecdotes, metaphors, quotations, and textual notes. The works that have withstood the tests of time are satires and edited collections: Praise of Folly, Julius exclusus, the Adagia, letters, and colloquies. There are no better introductions to Erasmus than these, and they share a common emphasis on variety. Erasmus' Miniatures examines his lifelong interest in small genres and his use of them, inserting them into larger works or gradually amassing them in books of a thousand pages. They were written to teach Latin and inculcate Christian values, and remain attractive as the most intimate expressions of his thoughts, moods, hopes, and terrors.…
