Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Dieses Buch beschäftigt sich auf unterschiedliche Weise mit der Politik des Todes, mit Kunst und Politik sowie mit der Politik von Zuflucht und Asyl. Der Schnitt über diese Bereiche bringt die fließende Qualität des gesellschaftlichen Lebens im Spätkapitalismus in den Vordergrund. Die Elemente Zeit, Raum und Emotion sind Teil des Gesamtansatzes. Die einzelnen Kapitel veranschaulichen Themen wie Verzweiflung, Streben und die Politik der Hoffnung und verdeutlichen die fließenden und unvorhersehbaren Qualitäten des gesellschaftlichen Lebens. Die Leitmetapher ist Fluidität oder das, was Urry als 'Wellen' bezeichnet; kontinuierlicher Fluss; pulsierend; 'Fluidität und Viskosität' sind charakteristisch für Leben, Tod, Zuflucht und Kunst im heutigen globalen System. Zwischen den Welten Kultur, politischer Gewalt und Kunst beleuchten die miteinander verbundenen Themen dieser Studie Bedingungen der 'Liminalität' oder des Dazwischen. Die Studie präsentiert eine Politik der Hoffnung im Spätkapitalismus und durchbricht die üblicheren Grenzen zwischen Kunst und Wissenschaft, Schaden und Hilfe, Tod und der Politik des bloßen Lebens. Jedes Kapitel beschäftigt sich mit Themen, die dazu beitragen, umfassendere Trends in der Wissenschaft und Lehre zu globaler Entwicklung und internationalen Beziehungen zu veranschaulichen. Inmitten des wachsenden Zynismus gegenüber menschlichen oder sogar humanitären Werten ruft der Band zu einer Politik der Hoffnung und sozialen Gerechtigkeit auf, die auf den fließenden Konturen grenzenloser und amorpher Prozesse der Selbstorganisation und radikalen Anarchie basiert. 388 pp. Deutsch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book deconstructs and debunks the lucrative and widespread marriage of quantum physics with pop-spirituality while tracing this pernicious strain of pseudoscience to its source: the founders of quantum mechanics themselves. The association of mystical ideas with modern physics in the self-improvement industry is not new. The 'spookiness' of quantum properties like uncertainty and entanglement has proven fertile ground for new-age mystics and alternative medicine advocates who saw a way to put a scientific veneer on their claims.In the early days, the founders of quantum physics accused it of implying an observer-created reality. Later, Taoists and Wu Li dancers were quantized. Then ancient Indian medicine, Ayurveda, morphed into 'quantum healing.' Little wonderThe Oprah Winfrey Showtold its viewers:thinkabout losing weight, making more money, and falling in love, and you'll become thin, wealthy,and happily married . all based on quantum physics.Criticism of the pseudoscientific misappropriation of quantum physics has been widespread but inadequate; thus far, the scientific community has failed to account for its own role in the fusion of pop-spirituality and quantum physics. As well as thoroughly exploring and debunking quantum mysticism, this book traces the development of quantum mysticism and pulls no punches in exposing the unwitting role of quantum theory's founders in propagating quantum mysticism. 232 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This book argues that Aristotle's aporia on time in the Physics figures both as an aporia in the subjective sense of a mental state of perplexity and in the objective, textual sense of a contrast between opposing views.First the book seeks to precisely identify what constitutes Aristotle's aporiai (or aporetic contrasts) on time and then to assess them from the viewpoint of Aristotle's five chapters on time as well as the book of Physics as a whole. By such a procedure the claims in the aporiai can, on the one hand, be assessed to find out to what extent they should be accepted, rejected or somehow modified and, on the other, how the aporiai function as a means to provoke new thought and insight in regard to the precise nature of Aristotle's understanding of time.Springer-Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 108 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This book is a gentle introduction for all those wishing to learn about modern views of the cosmos. Our universe originated in a great explosion ¿ the big bang. For nearly a century cosmologists have studied the aftermath of this explosion: how the universe expanded and cooled down, and how galaxies were gradually assembled by gravity. The nature of the bang itself has come into focus only relatively recently. It is the subject of the theory of cosmic inflation, which was developed in the last few decades and has led to a radically new global view of the universe.Students and other interested readers will find here a non-technical but conceptually rigorous account of modern cosmological ideas - describing what we know, and how we know it. One of the book's central themes is the scientific quest to find answers to the ultimate cosmic questions: Is the universe finite or infinite Has it existed forever If not, when and how did it come into being Will it ever end The book is based on the undergraduate course taught by Alex Vilenkin at Tufts University. It assumes no prior knowledge of physics or mathematics beyond elementary high school math. The necessary physics background is introduced as it is required. Each chapter includes a list of questions and exercises of varying degree of difficulty.This new edition includes hints for answering the questions and exercises, as well as extensions to the discussions on dark matter, quantum cosmology. A new chapter summarizing the standard cosmological model has also been added.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 408 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This book brings together a collection of essays on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the arrival of the first man on the moon ¿ a time when tourist journeys to the moon, now a real possibility, were no more than a fantasy. Divided into four sections, illustrating different perceptions of the moon, the common aim of the essays in this book is to examine how mankind¿s interest in the moon has been represented in Literature and the Arts, an objective underpinned by the desire to exploit the relationship between the so-called two cultures¿the Humanities and Science¿as C.P. Snow perceived them in his pioneering work (1959). The plethora of ways in which our companion satellite has been portrayed has led the authors of the essays to draw upon research from the history of science as well as from literary, cultural and artistic studies. In addition to analysing the impact on literature and music, of our arrival on the moon, whether real or imaginary, these studies also examine how writers along the centuries have appropriated the moon as a metaphor in order to project latent conflict, criticise the society or politics of their day, reflect upon scientific or technological discoveries or fantasise about journeys, encounters or imaginary realities.Springer-Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 152 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Using the 'Parallel Lives' approach adopted by the Greek biographer Plutarch, noted historian of astronomy William Sheehan contrasts the lives and research careers of two famous astronomers, Percival Lowell and Edward Emerson Barnard. Drawing on vast archival materials and hitherto unpublished source materials, Sheehan documents in detail the contributions of these two late 19th and early 20th astronomers.Living at a time when controversies about Mars peaked, when great observatories were being built, and when research increasingly turned away from the Solar System toward the stellar and extra-galactic universe, these observers made spectacular contributions to astronomy. Their work still inspires, and continues in Perseverance rover's explorations of the surface of Mars carrying forward Lowell's dream of showing that Mars may once have been 'the abode of life,' and in Barnard's pioneering wide-angle photographs of the Milky Way which first showed the sweep, majesty and complexity of the Galaxy.The work of decades of research and writing, Sheehan has produced what is likely to become the definitive work on these two great astronomers.'Parallel Lives marks an important contribution to the history of astronomy. The book is masterful and inventive. William Sheehan could hardly have chosen two more compelling-or contrasting-personalities to analyze in this fascinating dual biography.' David Baron, author of American Eclipse and The Martians, and former Chair in Astrobiology at the Library of Congress.'Sheehan has united scientific acumen, detailed historical research, penetrating insight into character, and narrative virtuosity-and adapted it all to an ancient Greek model-a remarkable achievement!'¿¿- Michael Armstrong, Assoc. Prof. Emeritus of Classics, Hobart and William Smith Colleges, Geneva NYWilliam Sheehan's many books include the authoritative biography The Immortal Fire Within: The Life and Work of Edward Emerson Barnard and (with Jim Bell) Discovering Mars: A History of Observation and Exploration of the Red Planet, which has been called the 'gold standard of books on Mars' (Michio Kaku).Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 704 pp. Englisch.…

Neuware -This open access book investigates the ways in which young people around the world are prepared to undertake their roles as citizens. It presents the international results from the third cycle of the study IEA's International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS 2022). Based on data from 24 countries or benchmarking participants from Europe, Latin America, and Asia, ICCS 2022 studies contexts for and learning outcomes of civic and citizenship education in a wide range of national contexts at the beginning of the third decade of the 21st Century. It responds to both enduring and emerging challenges of educating young people in a world where contexts of democracy and civic participation continue to change. The study addresses issues related to young people's engagement through digital technologies, migration and diversity, perceptions of the political system, global citizenship, and education for sustainable development. Further, it contains data that reflects civic-related aspects of recent developments such as students' perceptions of restrictions in response to national emergencies and their trust in scientists.Over the past 50 years, the IEA has conducted comparative research studies in a range of domains focusing on educational policies, practices, and outcomes in many countries around the world. Prior to ICCS 2022, the IEA had conducted four international comparative studies of civic and citizenship education, with a first survey implemented in 1971, a second in 1999, a third in 2009 and a fourth in 2016.
