Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The text is intended for students who wish a concise and rapid introduction to some main topics in PDEs, necessary for understanding current research, especially in nonlinear PDEs. Organized on three parts, the book guides the reader from fundamental classical results, to some aspects of the modern theory and furthermore, to some techniques of nonlinear analysis. Compared to other introductory books in PDEs, this work clearly explains the transition from classical to generalized solutions and the natural way in which Sobolev spaces appear as completions of spaces of continuously differentiable functions with respect to energetic norms. Also, special attention is paid to the investigation of the solution operators associated to elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic non-homogeneous equations anticipating the operator approach of nonlinear boundary value problems. Thus the reader is made to understand the role of linear theory for the analysis of nonlinear problems.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Caesars 'Bellum Civile' ist als Dokument römischer Geschichtsschreibung und als Quellenwerk über den Bürgerkrieg für jeden am antiken Rom Interessierten von außerordentlicher Bedeutung. Dennoch führt er neben dem 'Gallischen Krieg' fast ein Schattendasein: zu Unrecht, wie sich erweist. Denn an Klarheit der Diktion und Prägnanz des Gedankens steht der 'Bürgerkrieg' diesem nicht nach. Dazu ist der Zweikampf um die Macht zwischen Caesar und Pompeius ein erregender historischer Stoff, selbst dort, wo er weniger objektive Historiographie als eine Rechtfertigung für Caesars Handeln darstellt. Es liegt Caesar daran zu beweisen, dass ihm der Krieg, den er gern vermieden hätte, vom Gegner aufgezwungen wurde und dass er selbst schuldlos daran sei. Wie abenteuerlich in Rom intrigiert wurde, wie Caesar stets edel ist und die anderen üble Rechtsbrecher und Staatsfeinde sind, das lohnt sich auch 2000 Jahre später noch nachzulesen. Otto Schönberger hat den lateinischen Text neu eingerichtet und übersetzt. Der ausführliche Anhang und ein Register bieten alle Informationen, die man zu Lektüre, Einordnung und Verständnis des Werkes braucht. Mit Einführung, Erläuterungen, Zeittafel, Register und Literaturhinweisen.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Late medieval German literature is crucial in the development of modern discourse about love, eroticism, and sexuality. The approximately 600 so-called 'Minnereden' are the most extensive group of texts from this period. But until now they have received only limited attention. This new handbook offers for the first time a comprehensive summary and a manuscript bibliography for each 'Minnerede', as well as a complete index, making it a new and indispensable tool for researchers working in philology, history, and anthropology.; Das 'Handbuch Minnereden' ist ein neues Arbeitsinstrument zur Erforschung einer der bedeutendsten literarischen Gattungen des deutschen Spätmittelalters. Etwa 600 sogenannte 'Minnereden' sind überliefert. Diese Texte des 13.-16. Jahrhunderts führen thematisch den deutschen Minnesang weiter. Sie gehören aber nicht mehr zur sangbaren Lyrik, sondern sind meist in Reimpaarversen verfasste, nicht selten narrativ gerahmte und teilweise sehr umfängliche Reflexionen eines minnenden 'Ich' über die Regeln, das 'Wesen' und den 'Sinn' der zwischengeschlechtlichen Liebe. Die bisher maßgebliche Bestandsaufnahme von Tilo Brandis (1968) wird im 'Handbuch Minnereden' komplett überarbeitet, aktualisiert und erweitert. Neu sind genaue Beschreibungen der Überlieferungsverhältnisse und detaillierte Inhaltsangaben für jede Minnerede. Im Anhang des Repertoriums finden sich mehrere Register, die sämtliche Einträge systematisch aufschließen, sowie ein umfangreiches Handschriftenverzeichnis, in dem der Überlieferungskontext der Minnereden umfassend dargestellt wird.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Es handelt sich bei diesem Werk um den zweiten Teil einer kritischen Textausgabe, die einer handschriftlich ungewöhnlich reich überlieferten Schriftensammlung aus der christlichen Spätantike von einer ebenso ungewöhnlichen wirkungsgeschichtlichen Bedeutung gewidmet ist. Deren Programm ist die 'paulinische' Unterordnung (neu-)platonischen Denkens unter den christlichen Glauben; ihre Entstehungszeit um 500 n.Chr.; ihr Autor ein Unbekannter namens 'Dionys', der alsbald mit dem von Paulus bekehrten 'Areopagiten' (Apostelgeschichte 17,34) identifiziert wurde. Es entsteht so das Bild - wenn schon nicht einer ersten theologischen Summe, dann doch - des Christentums als einer konsequent 'griechisch-philosophische(n), neuplatonisch interpretierte(n) Religion' (J. Halfwassen). Ein Versuch kündigt sich an, der an Wagemut allenfalls vergleichbar ist demjenigen Philons von Alexandrien, fast fünf Jahrhunderte zuvor, welcher die gesamte pythagoreisch-platonische philosophische Tradition (unter Einschluss zahlloser Stoizismen) für Mose in Anspruch zu nehmen gedachte.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The book is the first annotated reader to focus specifically on the discipline of zoosemiotics. Zoosemiotics can be defined today as the study of signification, communication and representation within and across animal species. The name for the field was proposed in 1963 by the American semiotician Thomas A. Sebeok. He also established the framework for the paradigm by finding and tightening connections to predecessors, describing terminology, developing methodology and setting directions for possible future studies.The volume includes a wide selection of original texts accompanied by editorial introductions. An extensive opening introduction discusses the place of zoosemiotics among other sciences as well as its inner dimensions; the understanding of the concept of communication in zoosemiotics, the heritage of biologist Jakob v. Uexküll; contemporary developments in zoosemiotics and other issues. Chapter introductions discuss the background of the authors and selected texts, as well as other relevant texts.The selected texts cover a wide range of topics, such as semiotic constitution of nature, cognitive capabilities of animals, typology of animal expression and many other issues. The roots of zoosemiotics can be traced back to the works of David Hume and John Locke. Great emphasis is placed on the heritage of Thomas A. Sebeok, and a total of four of his essays are included. The Reader also includes influential studies in animal communication (honey bee dance language, vervet monkey alarm calls) as well as theory elaborations by Gregory Bateson and others. The reader concludes with a section dedicated to contemporary research. Readings in Zoosemiotics is intended as a primary source of information about zoosemiotics, and also provides additional readings for students of cognitive ethology and animal communication studies. 448 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Im Mai 2009 wurde John (Iwan) Demjanjuk von den USA nach Deutschland ausgewiesen. Ein halbes Jahr später begann in München ein Strafprozess gegen ihn: er hatte angeblich als Angehöriger der 'Trawniki' (Hilfswilliger der SS) im Vernichtungslager Sobibór beim Mord an 28.000 Juden geholfen. Den Auftakt der Verhandlung gegen den gebürtigen Ukrainer verfolgten Hunderte Journalisten aus allen Kontinenten. Der 'letzte große NS-Prozess' war aus Mediensicht ein Weltereignis. Doch verebbte das Interesse rasch wieder, denn die Sitzungen verliefen zäh und unspektakulär. Schließlich verurteilte das Landgericht Demjanjuk im Mai 2011 zu fünf Jahren Haft wegen Beihilfe zum Mord. Doch da die Prozessparteien Revision einlegten, wurde er in ein Altenheim in Oberbayern eingewiesen, wo er im März 2012 starb. Rainer Volk hat den Prozess als Journalist und Historiker von Beginn an verfolgt und analysiert die Berichterstattung über einen Fall, der für Zeithistoriker wie Juristen viele Fragen aufwarf. 144 pp. Deutsch. …

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Is all that exists part of the natural world If there are non-natural entities, what is their difference from natural things Is the human-independent realm of nature the only paradigm for ontological respectability, as naturalism claims Can existence be simply explained away by means of formal devices Philosophers keep struggling with such questions. Still, the two basic notions involved, that of existence and that of nature, have not yet been fully explored. The four essays collected here address the issue from the points of view of the philosophy of mathematics, of analytic ontology, of early modern philosophy, and of contemporary phenomenology. The results will surprise the reader: difficult topics are unlocked, long-received views are called into question, and new perspectives are opened. 128 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Recent developments in several Arab states in 2011 in what is now dubbed the 'Arab Spring', have refocused and placed human rights and freedoms norms at the forefront of many Arab states' agenda. Over the last two decades or so there have been some developments in Gulf States in the areas of human rights and developments. However, substantial oil and gas revenues have served as a basis for social and economic development and Government largesse in providing basic needs has generally kept at bay demands for political freedoms in comparison to other parts of the world. This study seeks to answer the main question: To what extent is the application of human rights and freedoms set forth in the Oman Basic Statute compatible with international conventions It aims to evaluate the importance of the constitution in Oman, and the extent to which it has succeeded in incorporating international human rights' standards while walking the tightrope of reconciling this with core traditional social customs and Islamic values. It analyses the compatibility of constitutional and national laws and practice with international human rights standards and assesses current trends and policies. Three case studies for different rights and freedoms are conducted to explore the guarantees and weaknesses of different rights in practice. These are the areas of nationality 'as individual right' which is very important under the Omani system as it is the direct link to enjoyment of other rights and freedoms. The Shura is the second case study as a political right or a collective right which represents public participation in Oman. Finally, the Freedom of Association, as an example for the freedom of expression and opinion, which represents individual and group rights together. This research evaluation analyses in detail the developments since the promulgation of the Basic Statute in December 1996 but stretches to encompass developments till the status to the end of 2011.Walter de Gruyter, Genthiner Straße 13, 10785 Berlin 348 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book reconstructs the theory of signification implicit in Aristotle's De Interpretatione and its psychological background in his writing De Anima, a project often envisioned by scholars but never systematically undertaken. I begin by explaining what sort of phonetic material, according to Aristotle, can be a significans and a phônê. To that end, I provide a physiological account of which animal sounds count as phônê, as well as a psychological evaluation of the cognitive content of the phônai under consideration in De Interpretatione: names, verbs, and assertive sentences. I then turn to noêmata, which, for Aristotle, are the psychological reference and significata of names, verbs and assertive sentences. I explain what, for Aristotle, are the logical properties a significatum must have in order to be signified by the phonetic material of a name, verb or assertive sentence, and why noêmata can fulfil those logical conditions. Finally, I elucidate the significans-significatum relation without making use of the modern semantic triangle. This approach is consonant with Aristotle's methodology and breaks new ground by exploring the connection between the linguistic and psychological aspects of Aristotle's theory of signification. 196 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The intention of the present volume is to unite the research of a range of scholars who have been working on features of non-standard, vernacular English which show an areal distribution, i.e. which cluster geographically across the world. Features common to an area can be due to (i) shared dialect input, (ii) common but separate innovations after settlement, or (iii) area-internal diffusion from one variety to another and/or others. The relative weighting of these factors is an important topic in the book and is a key focus in the 17 chapters. The book is divided into two large blocks, the first one consisting of case studies (8 chapters) and the second with features complexes (9 chapters). The former look at major anglophone locations from an areal perspective while the latter examine linguistic categories and features with a view to determine whether these could be areally based or not. 512 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In May 2011, a conference on riddles and word games in Greek and Latin poetry took place at the Institute of Classical Studies of the University of Warsaw. The conference was intended as an open forum where specialists working in different fields of classical studies could meet to discuss the varied manifestations of riddles and other technopaegnia - both terms being understood broadly to encompass the full range of play with language in classical antiquity, in keeping with the use made of the two terms in ancient and early modern theoretical discussions. This volume offers revised versions of the papers presented during the conference. Contributions by scholars from Europe and the USA treat a number of interconnected topics, including: ancient and modern attempts to formulate a definition of the riddle; poetic games at Greek symposia; experimentation with language in late classical poetry; riddles in the book cultures of the Hellenistic age and late antiquity; the functions of word games carved in stone, written on papyrus, or inscribed on the wall as graffiti; authors famed for their obscurity, such as Heraclitus and Lycophron; wordplay in Neo-Latin poetry; oracles, magic squares, pattern poetry, palindromes and acrostichs. 432 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Nineteenth-century outlaw Ned Kelly is perhaps Australia's most famous historical figure. Ever since he went on the run in 1878 his story has been repeated time and again, in every conceivable medium. Although the value of his memory has been hotly contested - and arguably because of this - he remains perhaps the main national icon of Australia. Kelly's flamboyant crimes turned him into a popular hero for many Australians during his lifetime and far beyond: a symbol of freedom, anti authoritarianism, anti imperialism; a Robin Hood, a Jesse James, a Che Guevara. Others have portrayed him as a villain, a gangster, a terrorist. His latest incarnation has been as WikiLeaks founder and fellow Australian 'cyber outlaw' Julian Assange. Despite the huge number of representations of Kelly - from rampant newspaper reporting of the events, to the iconic Sidney Nolan paintings, to a movie starring Mick Jagger, to contemporary urban street art - this is the first work to take this corpus of material itself as a subject of analysis. The fascinating case of this young outlaw provides an important opportunity to further our understanding of the dynamics of cultural memory. The book explains the processes by which the cultural memory of Ned Kelly was made and has developed over time, and how it has related to formations and negotiations of national identity. It breaks new ground in memory studies in the first place by showing that cultural memories are formed and develop through tangles of relations, what Basu terms memory dispositifs. In introducing the concept of the memory dispositif, this volume brings together and develops the work of Foucault, Deleuze, and Agamben on the dispositif, along with relevant concepts from the field of memory studies such as allochronism, colonial aphasia, and multidirectionality, the memory site - especially as developed by Ann Rigney - and Jan Assmann's figure of memory. Secondly, this work makes important headway in our understanding of the relationships between cultural memory and national identity, at a time when matters of identity appear to be more urgent and fraught than ever. In doing so, it shows that national identities are never purely national but are always sub- and transnational. The Ned Kelly memory dispositif has made complex and conflicting contributions to constructions of national identity. Ever since his outlawry, the identities invested in Kelly and those invested in the Australian nation have, in a two-way dynamic, fused into and strengthened each other, so that Kelly is in many ways a symbol for the national identity. Kelly has come to stand for an anti-establishment, working class, subaltern, Irish-inflected national identity. At the same time he has come to represent and enforce the whiteness, hyper-heterosexual masculinity and violence of 'Australianness'. Basu shows that Kelly has therefore always functioned in both radical and conservative ways, often both at once: a turbulent, Janus-faced figure.; Im Kontext der kulturwissenschaftlichen Gedächtnisforschung widmet sich diese interdisziplinär ausgerichtete Reihe dem Verhältnis von Medien und kultureller Erinnerung.
