This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Homeland of mankind is Africa, but there is no consensus among scientists on where exactly on the continent it is, whether in the Awash National Park in Ethiopia, the Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania, or in South Africa. The theory that the ancient ancestors of humans did not originate in one particular point in Africa, but in different parts of the continent is gaining popularity. The population of the African continent is very diverse in terms of both language and socio-economic and cultural aspects. The languages of the African population can be divided into the following major groups: 1) Semito-Hamitic; 2) a number of language groups from the west of the Sahara to the upper Nile, which were previously classified as Su-Danish; recent linguists' work has shown that these languages are not particularly close to each other, and some of them are close to Bantu; 3) Bantu in the south of the continent; 4) a small group of Khoi-San in South Africa; 5) the Malagasy island population whose language belongs to the Malay-Polynesian group; 6) European colonists and their descendants. 68 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -What is known as mist trapping is the process in which through condensation, atmospheric water vapour in the air, naturally concentrates on cold surfaces in drops of liquid water, which is regularly identified as dew; the phenomenon can be seen most clearly on objects, thin and flat; including the leaves of plants and grass, which visually gives the sensation that the meadow has pearls. Because the exposed surface is cooled by radiant heat to the sky, atmospheric moisture condenses at a faster rate than it can evaporate, which technically results in the formation of water droplets.In this way, when the collection of water drops or in this case of dew, is done in an organized way, this dew is captured through natural or assisted processes, which in reality is an old but very little known practice, the process arises from the small-scale dew drops of condensation puddles, collected on the stems of a plant, which constitutes a natural irrigation of great magnitude present in areas without rain, such as the desert areas of Atacama. 76 pp. Englisch.

However, in all previous observatories observations of celestial bodies were not put on a scientific basis. Rather, they were chaotic in nature and Tusi, with his inherent craving for systematization and a systematic approach, took up the matter thoroughly and comprehensively. He created the most perfect mathematical apparatus for the time and approached observatory astronomy with great responsibility and purposefulness.After the beginning of research at the observatories: Chinese in Beijing, Ulugh Beg in Samarkand, Danish Thiho Brahe and Indian in Jaipur, instruments and tools invented directly at the Maraga Observatory were used and improved. 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The popularity of the neopatrimonial concept can be explained by the inability of the transitory theory to explain the nature of the political processes of the second half of the 20th century in countries that seemed to have taken the path of modernization. The ambiguity of the ongoing political and economic transformations that began at the end of the last century with the collapse of the Soviet Union has drawn attention to the post-Soviet states, both domestic and foreign political scientists in the field of neopatrimonial theory.The author of the book holds a different position from the representatives of the neopatrimonial theory in explaining the informal institutions rooted in the systems of public administration in the post-Soviet space. According to his view, the explanation of such institutions should be exempt from neopatrimonial interpretation. This will make it possible to develop a 'correct language' capable of describing the post-Soviet political and administrative environment more objectively. 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The property tax in Cameroonian taxation is among the most consistent taxes in terms of tax revenue despite its strong potential. Taxpayers are very reluctant to pay it. To counter this phenomenon, the Cameroonian government is developing strategies to encourage landowners to pay it, such as the 2016 land amnesty. This could pose a problem of consistency, as it is not always easy to understand how to encourage the profitability of a tax for the future by allowing its non-payment for periods that have expired. It was first necessary to establish its origins, source and field, things that determine its importance and provide information on its validity and even the interest it arouses, which interest is plural. Having not exactly achieved the objectives initially set, particularly in terms of property tax revenues for the year 2016, the analysis shows that the scope of the 2016 property amnesty has some shortcomings which make it limited. 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -For a long time, international law has been indifferent to the plight of victims. At Nuremberg, in 1945, where some Nazi criminals were tried, victims, mere witnesses, could not claim the right to reparation for their damage. The notion of reparation is intuitively linked to the compensation obtained by individuals, following the violation of their rights. The notion of reparation is intuitively linked to the reparation that individuals receive for the violation of their rights. However, in the case of mass crimes, trying to conceive of adequate reparations for human rights violations is more complex. Reparations can only be awarded if the accused has been found guilty of the crimes against him and a link has been established between the crimes committed by him and the harm suffered by the victims, and the ICC appears to depart from this principle because, notwithstanding the acquittal of Mr. Jean-Pierre Bemba, the ICC has decided to award reparations to the victims. 56 pp. Englisch.

These aspects are inscribed in the behavior of men from a model of violent masculinity sustained by the culture in which we are immersed and it is necessary to deconstruct this model of men in order to build an equitable form of bonding between the different genders. 80 pp. Englisch.

On the basis of archaeological materials, especially recent finds on the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains and the western prairies, it is proved that the settlement of America took place already in the postglacial period, at the stage of the late Paleolithic or even Mesolithic (15-10 thousand years ago), that it occurred in several waves separated from each other by a significant time. Ways of settlement were the Bering Strait and Alaska. In excavations, along with the bones of extinct animals found ancient stone tools, based on which it was found that the first aliens were hunting and fishing, had stone axes, bow and arrows, wicker nets, leather clothing and a domesticated dog, pottery.
