Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Sustainable investing has never been more influential or more contested. More than 5,000 investors controlling $140 trillion have committed to investing sustainably, yet a troubling paradox has emerged: many self-proclaimed sustainable investors don't actually invest sustainably, and the real-world impact of ESG strategies is far more limited than their advocates admit.Big Money, Better World cuts through the noise. Drawing on rigorous academic research and the author's experience as Head of Sustainable Investing, the book offers an honest, evidence-based account of what sustainable investing is, how it works, and where it falls short.The culprit, the book argues, is hedgehog thinking : dominant ESG strategies that rally around a single big idea portfolio decarbonisation, ESG ratings, impact monetisation and treat it as the answer to everything. These approaches oversimplify the complex, interconnected reality of sustainable development and risk diverting capital from where it matters most.The antidote is a foxy mindset: plural, adaptive, and grounded in sustainability science. The book shows how asset allocation, active ownership, and field-building can drive genuine corporate and systemic change without sacrificing returns. It will be of interest to investors, policymakers, researchers, and engaged citizens ready to move beyond the hype. 174 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -AI and the Liberal Arts: Learning on the Edge of Our Future examines how liberal arts education prepares humans to exercise judgment, responsibility, creativity, and ethical reasoning in partnership with generative artificial intelligence. As AI becomes embedded in teaching, research, and professional life, higher education faces not merely a technological challenge but a human one: how to cultivate the intellectual and moral capacities needed to engage AI wisely.Distinct from tool-driven or policy-oriented accounts of AI in education, this book centers liberal arts ways of knowing-interpretation, ethical reasoning, historical and contextual understanding, communication, creativity, and interdisciplinary thinking-as essential infrastructure for an AI-rich future. Organized into five chapters, the book moves from the inevitability of AI's presence, to the role of humans as moral agents 'behind the wheel,' to the specific skills fostered by liberal arts education, and finally to AI as a complex, interdisciplinary 'wicked problem.'Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 112 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This open access book is both a meticulously researched account of newly emerging forms of rule in the Chinese borderlands and a broader theoretical intervention into the study of authoritarian governance.Taking the current situation in Tibet as its case study, The Quiet State shows how local officials in Tibet have developed previously unknown methods to micromanage and surveil certain social groups. The book examines one such scheme, involving some ten thousand Tibetan Buddhist nuns who have been singled out for having travelled beyond their home areas to receive religious teachings, resettled in fixed locations, monitored by local officials and residents, and given repeated political education, all under the rubric of state tolerance and care. This exercise in "coercive benevolence" lies at the heart of what the author calls the "quiet mode" of authoritarianism: a post-carceral form of social control, found particularly in ethnic or minority areas, that constrains movement and thought while avoiding the overt use of violence. Presented as routine or "normal" instruments of social management and barely visible even to locals, let alone outsiders, these micro-surveillance schemes are linked to the mass expansion of grassroots governance in Tibet, where for the first time officials are now stationed in almost every monastery and village.Based entirely on the analysis of official Chinese media reports, The Quiet State shows how the study of a few available fragments of information can point to new ways of understanding the contemporary functioning of the state, even in a region where direct research is rarely feasible, and demonstrates the power of open¿source analysis as a rigorous form of remote ethnography. It is an essential guide for researchers in Chinese and Tibetan politics, comparative authoritarianism, surveillance studies, political anthropology and human rights.Springer Nature Customer Service Center GmbH, Europaplatz 3,69115 Heidelberg, Germany, 69115 Heidelberg 340 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book examines how caste, poverty, migration, and education contribute to language loss in India through the case of the Waddar community, a semi-nomadic De-notified Tribe whose ancestral Dravidian language, Waddari, is endangered. It combines sociolinguistics, ethnography, and political economy to explain why marginalized communities experience rapid language shift. Across its chapters, the book traces the historical legacy of colonial criminalisation, caste-based exclusion, labour migration, and state language and education policies that weaken intergenerational language transmission. Drawing on extensive fieldwork and interviews with Waddar speakers across generations, it explores changing language use, bilingualism, identity, and aspirations for social mobility. Situating the Waddar experience within broader debates on language endangerment, linguistic justice, and multilingual education, the book offers insights relevant to India and the Global South. It will appeal to researchers and students of sociolinguistics, anthropology, education, caste studies, and language policy. 307 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book argues for the compatibility of cosmopsychism with an orthodox Christian understanding of God. It adopts a broadly classical understanding of God in which God and the world are distinct and the key attributes of God are retained. It thus contributes to discussions of cosmopsychism in philosophy of religion.In arguing for the compatibility of cosmopsychism with an orthodox account of Christian theism, the book serves two primary purposes. Firstly, it develops an account of cosmopsychism and theism in which God and the cosmic mind are distinct, and the cosmic mind is not divine. Secondly, in showing that cosmopsychism is compatible with a classical understanding of God, it demonstrates that cosmopsychism need not be construed as a rival to classical theism.In pursuit of these aims this book brings cosmopsychism into dialogue with several key elements of the Christian doctrine of God including the understanding of four of the divine attributes: omnibenevolence, omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence. The analysis seeks to dispel concerns that the cosmic mind would be a rival to God and seeks to show the unique theological merits that a cosmopsychist understanding of classical theism can yield.Cosmopsychism and the Christian Doctrine of God is essential reading for scholars in philosophy of religion, especially those focussing on the understanding of God. It is also ideal for Christian analytic theologians and for researchers in the philosophy of mind. 178 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book draws on the Multimodal Corpus of Gerontolinguistic Discourse (MCGD) to offer an in-depth analysis of pragmatic impairments and compensatory strategies among Chinese-speaking older adults with AD. It investigates how individuals navigate communicative challenges using both verbal and non-verbal resources, uncovering patterns of pragmatic decline and the multimodal strategies employed to mitigate these deficits. Specifically, the study explores three interrelated research questions: (1) What are the features of pragmatic impairments in older adults with AD (2) What compensatory mechanisms are employed when pragmatic difficulties arise (3) What are the overarching patterns of pragmatic decline observed in this population The book broadens the disciplinary scope of clinical linguistics and advances the development of gerontolinguistics by focusing on older adults with neurodegenerative diseases, an underrepresented population in current research. It shifts the focus toward pragmatic impairments resulting from cognitive decline, emphasizing the value of pragmatic discourse analysis in identifying and understanding communicative changes associated with Alzheimer s Disease and related conditions and proposing an assessment framework for evaluating pragmatic competence in older adults. This book will be of interest to academic researchers, healthcare professionals, and policy makers working at the intersection of aging, dementia care, and linguistics. 466 pp. Englisch. …

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book reveals the deeper connection between China's 'New Era' under Xi Jinping and the political drama that preceded his rise, focusing on Bo Xilai's ambitious campaign for power in Chongqing from 2008 to 2012. Bo, like Xi, was the son of a revolutionary leader and widely viewed as Xi's chief rival during Hu Jintao's final years. His spectacular downfall in 2012-marked by scandals of murder, corruption, and diplomatic intrigue-was China's most dramatic political crisis since Tiananmen. The book offers a revisionist account of how and why Bo launched an unusually public political campaign within an authoritarian system. His Mao-style populism and egalitarian rhetoric, showcased through mass mobilization in Chongqing, foreshadowed many of the ideological and policy tendencies that have come to define Xi's rule. 261 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book examines Russia s strong-state dilemma: why Russia repeatedly seeks to overcome crisis, disorder, and failed transition by rebuilding a strong state, yet keeps falling back into a cycle in which restored control does not become stable governing capacity. It argues that post-Soviet political change should be understood not simply as failed democratization, but as a sequence of state-power loss, state rebuilding, and a new center-region balance.Focusing on Russia s 85 federal subjects from 1991 to 2022, the book draws on an original database of 400+ governors, president-governor meeting transcripts, local media, elite biographies and interviews, institutional histories, formal rules, and electoral data. It shows that Russian state rebuilding followed an uneven strategy: the state did not restore itself everywhere, at every level, or in every sphere at once, but re-entered critical regions, sectors, and institutional junctures selectively and in stages.The book identifies two linked mechanisms: the separation of governors from governance tools, and the disconnect between elite selection and governance capacity. Through Samara, Sverdlovsk Oblast, St. Petersburg, and Moscow, it shows how different regional paths gradually converged into similar center-region structures. Its central conclusion is that the future of Russian state rebuilding depends on whether the state can build formal institutions capable of effectively constraining, organizing, and guiding political elites. 341 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book expands our understanding of music composed within Nazi concentration camps by shedding light on the unknown Polish composer Leon Kaczmarek, one of the most prolific yet overlooked composers persecuted by the Nazi regime. Imprisoned in the Dachau Concentration Camp from 1940 to 1945, Kaczmarek, in an unexpected turn of events, assumed the role of conductor for the German camp choir. Amidst unimaginable suffering, he composed an impressive array of works that have never previously been reconstructed, analyzed, or performed. His life and work, uncovered through extensive archival research, are unveiled here for the first time. In addition to expanding knowledge of this repertoire, this book restores Kaczmarek s historical significance, alongside that of his fellow prisoners, through the recovery and examination of their artistic works from the Nazi camps. 256 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This volume provides an analysis of the constitution of the idea of furor poeticus (poetic frenzy), the conception of the poet as an individual inspired and possessed by a kind of divine madness.This idea, deeply rooted in the Platonic tradition, was conceptualized in the Renaissance by Marsilio Ficino and his followers, who spread it throughout Europe in the sixteenth century. The first part of the book offers a comparative approach to the theory of furor poeticus in little-studied Italian humanists such as Francesco Zorzi and Alessandro Farra, who combined Neoplatonism with other popular currents of the time such as Orphism or the Christian Kabbalah. The second part of the volume aims to show that there is no abrupt break between Renaissance and Romantic poetics, as is sometimes claimed, and reveals new connections between different authors of these periods.This collection thus attempts to fill the gaps in the modern Platonic tradition by comparing different cultural spheres during the sixteenth-century Renaissance and then tracing its afterlife in modern literature and poetics through some representative case studies. For these reasons, the volume is aimed primarily at scholars and researchers interested in literary theory and the relationships between religious and poetic concepts in the modern period. The target audience will find in this volume a new approach to the theological and metaphysical foundations of one of the most influential poetological concepts of modern literary culture. 287 pp. Englisch. …

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In this book, scholars from various fields share their insights into the role of communication in combating the American opioid crisis. The introduction provides an overview of the development of the crisis followed by a discussion of the role of communication in fighting the crisis. Part I of the book (Chapters 2-5) addresses how the language used to frame chronic pain, opioid use disorder (OUD) and the opioid crisis by the media, healthcare professionals and the public has facilitated the formation of stigmas associated with OUD and individuals with OUD and what can be done to change it. Part II of the book (Chapters 6-8) focuses on how communication can help prevent opioid misuse. Chapters 6 and 7 discuss strategies that may be used to create effective anti-opioid campaigns. Chapter 8 explores the role that academic detailing (AD) plays in improving health care providers compliance with the CDC s guidelines for prescribing opioids and strategies for increasing the effectiveness of AD. Part III of the book (Chapters 9-10) explains how to use communication to improve OUD treatment and support individuals with OUD. Chapter 9 highlights the importance of patient-centered communication and patient navigators to OUD treatment. Chapter 10 analyzes the self-help program for individuals with OUD utilized by Narcotics Anonymous and offers suggestions for improvement. In conclusion, this book demonstrates that communication can help end the American opioid crisis by promoting prevention, removing barriers (e.g., stigmas), and improving treatment and support for individuals with OUD. The insights offered in this book will appeal to diverse readers including students of communication, persuasion and psychology, and health science; as well as campaign designers, healthcare providers, journalists, policy makers, social workers and the general public 252 pp. Englisch.…
