    Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - No-one obsesses over property quite like the British, even though buying and selling a home can be a personal headache and a financial lucky-dip. British newspapers groan under the weight of property supplements; TV reports constantly track house prices; young people fret about getting on the property ladder, while established homeowners worry about how to increase the value of their home or the market crashing. Buying a property is rarely straightforward and can be very time-consuming. There are numerous choices to make, from the style of building and location, to proximity to schools and other amenities. Most of all, there are plenty of opportunities to make the wrong decisions. Selling your home is also fraught with stress; from deciding to move and evaluating your property's worth to finding an estate agent and putting your home on the market, every step comes with it's own difficulties. Plus the advent of the Home Information Packs has also created a new headache for potential vendors. Buying and Selling a Home For Dummies, 2nd Edition covers everything from finding a property and getting a mortgage to preparing your home for sale and moving on. It is also one of the few guides to cover England, Wales and Northern Ireland as separate entitles from Scotland, and to cover the Scottish property market.

    Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Few contemporary philosophers are more influential - or controversial - than John McDowell. His seminal Mind and World is considered one of the most significant works of late twentieth-century philosophy. Among McDowell's intellectual gifts is his remarkable capacity to combine critical approaches to historical figures such as Aristotle, Kant, Hegel, and Sellars with insightful original contributions to prominent debates in contemporary analytical philosophy. Interpreting and appropriating some of the great philosophers of the past to hone one's own distinctive philosophical vision, however, can open the door to intense critical reactions.In a collection of original essays by major figures in contemporary philosophy, John McDowell: Experience, Norm, and Nature, explores some of the central themes in McDowell's works. One set of contributions examines McDowell's notions of perceptual experience, normativity or rationality, and nature. Another questions his readings of previous philosophers relating to these issues. Rising to the challenge, McDowell responds point by point to his critics, further elaborating his philosophical viewpoints while providing thought-provoking and penetrating analyses. The result is a lively and stimulating exchange of ideas on the nature of our place in the world. It provides invaluable insights into one of the most significant and original philosophers of our day.…

    Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This collection brings together leading feminist thinkers who examine the struggles for interpretive power which underlies international development. - Questions why the insights from years of feminist gender and development research are so often turned into 'gender myths' and 'feminist fables': women are more likely to care for the environment; are better at working together; are less corrupt; have a seemingly infinite capacity to survive - Explores how bowdlerized and impoverished representations of gender relations have simultaneously come to be embedded in development policy and practice - Traces the ways in which language and images of development are related to practice and provides a nuanced account of the politics of knowledge production - Argues that struggles for interpretive power are not only important for our own sake, but also for the implications they have for women's lives worldwide - An informed analysis of how 'gender' has been transformed in its transfer into development policy and how many authors are now revisiting and reflecting on their earlier work.…

    Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Was Socrates really the saintly figure he became for later philosophy Why is it doubtful that Descartes ever really uttered, 'I think, therefore I am' And what did Sartre ever have against waiters, anyway The history of philosophy is filled with great tales - many of them fictions, misrepresentations, falsehoods, lies and fibs. Or are they just misstatements, prevarications, and narratives not entirely based on fact In the true spirit of a broad philosophical debate, Philosophical Tales dips a toe into the great sea of philosophy to collect, deconstruct, and relate many of history's great - and not so great - philosophical tales.Enlightening and entertaining, Philosophical Tales examines a few of the fascinating biographical details of history's greatest philosophers (alas, mostly men) and highlights their contributions to the field. By applying the true philosophical approach to philosophy itself, the text provides us with a refreshing 'alternative history' of philosophy.But why should someone want to know that Kant rolled himself three times in his sheets each night before sleeping, that Schopenhauer pushed a poor old lady down the stairs, or Marx spent as much time on beer and women as he did in the British Library By examining the seeming trivialities of philosophers' lives - and skewering a few cherished myths along the way - Philosophical Tales provides us with illuminating insights that will encourage a more active, critical way of thinking. Blaise Pascal may have put it best when he said, 'To make light of philosophy is to be a true philosopher.'. …

    Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - There are few episodes in world history that can truly be labeled epoch-making - but Rome's shift from republic to empire was certainly one of them. It happened after ancient Rome was plunged into civil war and Gaius Julius Caesar emerged victorious. Military genius, tyrant, brilliant politician, first class orator, sophisticated man of letters - Caesar was all of these and more. But above all, he was the catalyst of a great upheaval that was considered Rome's ultimate destiny.Always I Am Caesar: Eight Perspectives is a vivid portrait of Caesar's life and times. The text goes well beyond the biographical details of his life, however, and examines his career through several different perspectives - from the military conquests and political victories to his relationships with women and elevation to godlike status. Putting Caesar into the context of Roman society provides us with a richer portrait of the man whose name has become synonymous with the Roman Empire itself. Accessible to all, Always I Am Caesar is a lively and engaging window into the life and times of ancient Rome during its transition from republic to empire.…

    Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Relational Coaching is a radically different way of looking at coaching that puts the relationship, from the perspective of the coachee, at the centre. Relational coaching is part of an age-old tradition but has also bee reinforced by a number of reliable studies in recent decades. Relational Coaching gives the modern executive coach ten commandments to help improve his or her practice:\* First, do no harm;\* Have confidence;\* Commit yourself heart and soul to your approach, even if you know that it doesn't matter which professional approach you choose;\* Feed the hopes of your coachee;\* Consider the coaching from your coachee's perspective;\* Work on your coaching relationship,discuss it explicitly;\* If you don't 'click', find a replacement coach;\* Look after yourself;\* Stay as fresh and unbiased as possible;\* Don't worry too much about your specific behavior in the moment.This book demonstrates how each of these commandments is underpinned by sound quantitative research.Relational Coaching gives a complete overview not only of the profession and the latest developments in coaching but also of the state of the art in other respects. The second part of the book presents new quantitative and qualitative research into effects and experiences of coaching. part III contains an introduction to the activities that make a good coach and the mechanisms used to verify coaches' understanding of their profession. Other topics covered include Training, accreditation, supervision and recommended literature.'Navigating through the coaching field is like finding one's way out of a confusing labyrinth. Too many books, too many quick-fix promises, too many snake oil salesmen, and, unfortunately, too little substance. given the present state of field, it was a great pleasure for me to read Erik de Haan's book relational Coaching. For a change, here is a contribution that goes beyond the trite and obvious. Instead, the author takes us on an exciting journey to explain what coaching is all about, providing us with a roadmap that is second to none. Anyone interested in better understanding what coaching is all about, would do well to have serious look at this book.' - Manfred Kets De Vries.…

    Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The Rule of Law has long been cherished in the US as the ultimate defender of civil liberty and the American way of life - a Rule of Law which no one can quite define, but everyone supports. In this provocative new book, Ugo Mattei and Laura Nader wage a frontal assault on this treasured belief in the sanctity of the Rule of Law, unflinchingly exploring its previously neglected dark side. They expose its intimate relationship with plunder - the practice of violent extraction by stronger political actors victimizing weaker ones - in the service of Western cultural and economic domination.Boldly conceived and vibrantly written, Plunder dares to ask the paradoxical question - is the Rule of Law itself illegal Mattei and Nader expose global examples of plunder: of Native American lands, to the plunder of oil in Iraq; of ideas in the form of Western patents and intellectual property rights imposed on weaker peoples; and of liberty and the demise of Rule of Law in the United States. This thought-provoking text is essential reading for anyone interested in contemporary law, politics, and social justice.…

    Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This one-of-a-kind text examines the role that financial markets and institutions play in modern macroeconomics. Traditional economics downplays the function of financial systems in macroeconomic thought. Recently, however, economists have increasingly begun turning to microeconomic models of market failure in an effort to explain business cycles and other macroeconomic phenomena. Here, author David Knoop offers a non-technical review of the new advances critical to understanding the macroeconomic impact of financial systems. Particular attention is paid to the role that these systems play in economic instability and to the causes of recessions and depressions in the US and abroad. For the first time, significant developments made in the field of financial macroeconomics over the past decade are outlined.Written in an accessible style, Modern Financial Macroeconomics will appeal to both university students and anyone interested in modern financial developments.…

    Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Natural Theology explores the knowledge of God as it is observed through nature. This book sets forth a new approach to the study of natural theology, reestablishing its legitimacy as a distinct aspect of Christian theology. While remedying some of the criticisms of traditional presentations and perceptions of the concept, this new approach treats natural theology as a cultural phenomenon, broader than Christianity itself yet always possessing a distinctively Christian embodiment.Beginning with an introduction to human engagement with nature, this volume goes on to explore topics such as beauty, goodness, truth, and the theological imagination; how investigating nature gives rise to both theological and scientific theories; the idea of a distinctively Christian approach to nature; and how natural theology can function as a bridge between the Christianity and other faiths. With a resurgence of interest that is taking place in the field, this book is a first-rate, innovative resource for the study of natural theology.…

Der Verfasser, ausgewiesener Ökonometrieexperte, behandelt ein breites Spektrum ökonometrischer Modelle, u. a. das einfache und das multiple Regressionsmodell. Im Mittelpunkt seiner Darstellung steht dabei nicht Theoretisches, sondern die Anwendung der Modelle auf empirische Daten. Zahlreiche Beispiele und Übungsaufgaben unter Verwendung der Standardsoftware Strata ermöglichen die Einübung in Methoden und Modelle und schaffen so die Basis für ein selbstständiges empirisches Arbeiten.…
