Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Global trade will increase over the coming years asking for solutions to cope with growing amounts of transported goods. Dryports can optimise the distribution of goods by accelerating transport flows, optimising logistics chains and improving the coordination of traffic infrastructures. The study presented in this book describes how and under what conditions dryports work efficiently as a complementary partner for seaports and as an option for future-oriented and sustainable logistics. The authors identify similarities and differences across four cases at: Bremen/Bremerhaven-Germany, Felixstowe-UK, Gothenburg/Falköping-Sweden, and Zeebrugge-Belgium and suggest under which conditions dryports have a good chance to succeed. The main conclusion is that spatial relief and environmental concerns in implementing and running a dryport do matter but, at the end of the day, competition and governance decide. 96 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Faz¿l Say and the Classical Music Stage as Informal Learning Space is an exploration of the classical music stage within a framework of informal learning through the interactive concert performances of Faz¿l Say. It delves into the artist¿s conceptualization of the music-audience nexus along with his motivation for adopting an interactive manner that emerges through a verbal interaction between performer and listener during the concert performances. Using specific concert performances given in Malatya in Turkey, this book presents a detailed demonstration of such a space as a learning medium; and interprets its pedagogical meaning from both the artist¿s and the audience¿s perspectives. 156 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Media and Digital Literacies in Secondary School examines young people¿s media practices and media literacies in school spaces where these practices mix in the school environment and learning in different ways. Young people bring their own media and literacy practices to the school as an important part of an identity, taste, and social life. These practices are changing school¿s media ecology, making school¿s physical boundaries more permeable, creating new, unofficial spaces in them, and transgressing the boundaries of private and public. This book highlights youth¿s media production practices, from photography and video making to fan fiction writing and online role-playing, which have different relations to the school, and shows how these practices make a dialog between informal and formal learning and that teachers have an important part in collaborative relationships with pupils when teachers encourage and motivate pupils and help them to understand media phenomena. The volume will be of particular interest to scholars and graduate students in the fields of education, new literacies, media and communication studies, media and art education, and youth studies.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 174 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Using feminist and psychological theory, Deconstructing Twilight examines the behavior, relationships, and gender roles depicted in the popular Twilight series. Using perspectives from both fans and detractors of the series, it discusses whether the character of Bella, and the series in general, is antifeminist or an example of modern feminism, and whether the relationship between Bella and Edward is healthy or maladjusted. Integrating research findings and theories in the areas of personality and social psychology, as well as scenes from the novels and surveys of readers, Deconstructing Twilight separates myth from reality regarding the series¿ depictions of women, men, romantic relationships, and motherhood. A social learning perspective is employed to demonstrate the effect the novels can have on gender role formation and the development of relationship scripts in young adult readers. Social psychological concepts are used to explain and integrate the discrepant views of fans and anti-fans. Because explaining course concepts through the use of scenes and storylines from the Twilight series seizes students¿ interest and fosters in-depth learning, Deconstructing Twilight encourages student engagement, understanding, and learning in the areas of women¿s and gender studies, psychology, and interpersonal relationships. The book¿s interdisciplinary approach will be of use in courses on introduction to women¿s and gender studies, personality psychology, social psychology, psychology of adjustment, psychology of women, women in literature, abnormal psychology, intimate relationships, and cultural studies. 262 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -We live in the age of global science ¿ but not, primarily, in the sense of ¿universal knowledge¿ that has characterized the liberal metanarrative of ¿free¿ science and the ¿free society¿ since its early development in the Enlightenment. Today, an economic logic links science to national economic policy, while globalized multinational science dominates an environment where quality assurance replaces truth as the new regulative ideal. This book examines the nature of educational and science-based capitalism in its cybernetic, knowledge, algorithmic and bioinformational forms before turning to the emergence of the global science system and the promise of openness in the growth of international research collaboration, the development of the global knowledge commons and the rise of the open science economy. Education, Science and Knowledge Capitalism explores the nature of cognitive capitalism, the emerging mode of social production for public education and science and its promise for the democratization of knowledge.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 312 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Black Women in Leadership: Their Historical and Contemporary Contributions explores the leadership experiences of Black women within macro level (such as education, industry, and social services) and micro level (such as family and individual churches) contexts. The interdisciplinary work examines leadership practices, highlighting the historical and current triumphs and barriers of Black women in these roles. Black Women in Leadership further offers success strategies underlying Black women¿s leadership. With few exceptions (namely, Rosa Parks, Fannie Lou Hamer, Shirley Chisholm, Dorothy Height, Daisy Bates, and Angela Davis), the accomplishments of Black female leaders have historically been ignored, minimized, or primarily linked to those of prominent Black men. Black Women in Leadership centers upon elucidating factors motivating Black women to create their own identities and become leaders in their own right.Libri GmbH, Europaallee 1, 36244 Bad Hersfeld 237 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Elementary social studies, which seeks to instill in children the principles of democratic citizenship and the core values of social responsibility, has an important responsibility in U.S. classrooms. Yet, to achieve these goals, elementary social studies must overcome a number of challenges. Social studies lessons are marginalized in the school day, and critics complain these lessons lack disciplinary rigor and focus. In addition, scholarship in the field is under-funded and under-researched. A History of Elementary Social Studies: Romance and Reality recounts the history of elementary social studies in the United States, beginning with its mid-nineteenth century antecedents. The book reflects on the global and national issues that influenced the origins and development of elementary social studies. This history identifies the sources of many problems in contemporary social studies education. It explains why one particular approach, the expanding communities, has thrived in elementary social studies. It also highlights imaginative, rigorous alternative pedagogical approaches that may offer direction for reformers of social studies education. The volume can be used in courses in the history of education, curriculum studies and curriculum theory, and elementary social studies methods.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 254 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book discusses the identity construction of activist educators or, as one of the research participants poetically summarizes it, «how the dreamers are born.» The dreamers, in the case of this research, are eleven women, activist educators who have participated in the Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (Landless Workers¿ Movement), the MST. This book explores how the development of one¿s identity as an activist educator is a long and complex social, political, and cultural process involving many causal elements.The MST, one of the largest social movements in contemporary Latin America and one of the most successful grassroots movements in the world, has struggled for agrarian reform as well as social and economic justice in Brazil, achieving impressive results. Its members include people from some of the poorest segments of Brazilian society. This book presents a powerful analysis of their incredible life stories (testimonios), collected through semi-structured interviews with women educators, seeking to uncover the main elements that account for the development of their identities as activist educators. Finally, the book addresses the implications of its research findings for social justice teacher education.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 260 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book has received the AESA (American Educational Studies Association) Critics Choice Award 2013.There is a widespread, but mainly untenable, assumption that education in Western societies (and elsewhere) intuitively and horizontally aids the democratic development of people. An argument could be made that in contemporary liberal democracies, education was never designed for the well-being of societies. Instead of the full inclusion of everyone in educational development, it becomes dominated by those with a vested interest in the role of the liberal state as a mediating agent that, ultimately, assures the supremacy of the capitalism and neoliberalism. This book extends beyond a theoretical analysis of democratic education, seeking to tap into the substantial experiences, perspectives and research of a wide range of leading scholars from diverse vantage points, who bring themselves and their work into the debate connecting democracy and education, which elucidates the reference to counter-hegemonic possibilities in the title.Libri GmbH, Europaallee 1, 36244 Bad Hersfeld 292 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This volume unmasks tensions among economic, political, and educational goals in the context of becoming and being a teacher. Chapters frame becoming and being a teacher within commitments to democracy and political literacy while confronting neoliberal assumptions about American society, universal public education, and education reform. A wide variety of teachers and scholars discuss teacher preparation and teaching through evidence-based examinations of complex problems and solutions facing teachers, education policymakers, the public, and students. Teaching is embraced as a political act, and critical subjectivity is endorsed as a rejection of objectivity and traditional paradigms of teaching designed to create a compliant teacher workforce. The book honors and celebrates voice and collective voice, both of which speak to and from the inexorable fact of becoming and being a teacher as one and the same.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 322 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Der Arabische Frühling in Ägypten und Tunesien hat die EU sichtlich überrascht, die trotz milliardenschwerer Demokratisierungsprogramme keine Erfolge in der Demokratisierung der Länder aufweisen konnte. In der Arbeit wird folglich der Frage nachgegangen, ob die von der EU aufgelegten Programme überhaupt zielführend waren und unter welchen Bedingungen diese Programme aufgesetzt wurden. Anhand einer minutiösen praxeologischen Untersuchung wird gezeigt, dass die elitenorientierten Demokratisierungsbemühungen und das Paradigma der politischen Öffnung durch wirtschaftliche Liberalisierung eher eine Verhärtung der autokratischen Regime zur Folge hatten. Allerdings wird auch offensichtlich, dass der fehlende reformatorische Impetus der nordafrikanischen Eliten mit den Interessen einiger wichtiger politischer und wirtschaftlicher Akteure innerhalb der EU übereinstimmte. Es wird deutlich, dass die EU in einem Zielkonflikt zwischen der Demokratisierung in Nordafrika und wirtschaftlichen Interessen wie Absatzmärkten, Ressourcenzufluss, aber auch der Migrationskontrolle steht. 108 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -En dépit des efforts de nombreux chercheurs depuis plusieurs décennies, les voyelles nasales du français posent encore à ce jour un véritable défi aux spécialistes en sciences de la parole. L¿ouverture du port vélo-pharyngé est une condition nécessaire mais non suffisante à la production des voyelles nasales du français. Mais en quoi consistent précisément les ajustements articulatoires complémentaires Quelles en sont les conséquences dans le domaine acoustique, et comment celles-ci interagissent-elles avec les propriétés acoustiques liées au couplage nasal proprement dit Comment se déclinent les paramètres aérodynamiques impliqués dans la production des voyelles nasales du français Et surtout, quel rôle ces différentes propriétés, isolées en production de la parole, ont-elles sur la perception des voyelles nasales par des auditeurs francophones Cet ouvrage s¿attelle à répondre à ces questions ¿ et à bien d¿autres ! ¿ dans le cadre théorique et méthodologique de la phonétique expérimentale et de la phonologie de laboratoire. L¿auteure propose une analyse fouillée de l¿abondante littérature disponible sur les voyelles nasales du français, et la confronte aux résultats obtenus sur la base de données expérimentales inédites, recueillies ces dix dernières années, entre autres au Laboratoire de Phonétique de l¿UMONS. 256 pp. Französisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Dieser Band nimmt den auf Doris Bachmann-Medick zurückgehenden Gedanken der cultural turns in den Kulturwissenschaften auf. Die Veränderungen der Forschungsmethoden und -schwerpunkte, die den turns entspringen, erweisen sich für die Translationswissenschaft als besonders produktiv.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book showcases recent work carried out by members of the Irish Association for Applied Linguistics (IRAAL). By focusing on the relationship between language and its users within the micro context of Ireland, the contributors generate insights which promise to open up future avenues for Applied Linguistics research, both in Ireland and beyond.The collection addresses two main themes within the field of Applied Linguistics: language learning and teaching, and the study of language and its discourses in context. In order to ensure that the volume is relevant to as wide an audience as is possible, it is not theoretically focused; rather, each chapter deals with a specific real world issue in context. The book provides an account of language problems that have arisen given the increasingly multilingual nature of Ireland, examines the current status of the Irish language and explores the potential for new technologies to enhance language learning and teaching.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 252 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book examines the policy outcomes of purportedly unavoidable tendencies towards educational isomorphism and harmonization by analyzing, at a regional level, the educational policies devised and carried out by the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) over the past two decades. It chronicles the policy process (functional cooperation) and policy tools (lessons-drawing, externalization and policy transfer) of regionalization and highlights, from a cooperation and collaboration perspective, the importance of time, space, and geographic proximity and their roles in furthering convergence. The book¿s analyses conclude by showing that, based on the semantics of harmonization, educational isomorphism occurs in cyclical waves and that the fifteen member states of CARICOM only cooperate when it is in their best interest, irrespective of the policy outcome. Therefore, the isomorphic tendencies that exist at the regional level are not ¿ or not primarily ¿ the result of a world polity as hypothesized by neo-institutionalist theory, but rather that of collective choices to confront both challenges and opportunities of globalization and global competition. 344 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Schenkkreise führten vielfach die Betroffenen nicht nur zu beträchtlichen wirtschaftlichen Schwierigkeiten, sondern auch zu langjährigen gerichtlichen Auseinandersetzungen. Dieses Buch zeichnet Schwierigkeiten der Judikative im Zusammenhang mit der rechtlichen Schenkkreisproblematik auf und untersucht die Motive in der Anwendung bzw. Nichtanwendung der maßgeblichen Vorschrift des 817 S. 2 BGB. Es analysiert ferner Ursprung und Entwicklung dieser Norm seit ihrer Entstehung bis zur heutigen Zeit. Einerseits erkennt die überwiegende Mehrheit der Juristen, dass diese Norm oft zu Ergebnissen führt, die mit dem Rechtsempfinden nicht im Einklang stehen. Andererseits bleibt es allein der Politik überlassen diese Vorschrift abzuschaffen. Rechtsunsicherheit entsteht dadurch nicht. 120 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -On 19 June 1992 Austria and Italy declared the official resolution of the South Tyrol question ¿ the dispute that had dominated relations between the two countries since the end of the First World War. While this bilingual province is today held up as a triumph of minority rights protection and a model for post-conflict societies across the world, the story of the South Tyrol since its amalgamation into the Italian state in 1919 has been a complex and often turbulent one.This book investigates the political role of the theatre in reflecting, shaping and subverting patterns of cultural identity among the German-speaking South Tyrolese. Taking as its starting point the representation of history in a series of ambitious theatrical productions from the 1970s to the present, this study offers close readings of texts and performances and an examination of the belated development of professional theatre in the province. The role of theatre is analysed in terms of the broader historical and sociocultural factors at play in the shaping of South Tyrolese identity.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 238 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In the 18th century the appearance of the poems ascribed to Ossian triggered a great interest in national literatures and inspired the imagination and ultimately the productive reception of generations of (pre)romantic poets worldwide. Ossian was instrumental in the appreciation of folk poetry and instrumentalized in the creation of national literature. In the aftermath of Macpherson¿s Ossianic publications several nation states as well as stateless nations rediscovered and glorified their own «barbaric» past with «national epics». This volume attempts to reconstitute partly the philological context in order to shed more light on Ossian and national epic in general, its development in European literature and its (re)emergence in different genres and other arts. 314 pp. Englisch.

The volume once again proves that experience has been one of the key categories of American cultural self-understanding. 348 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In the twenty-first century, no one can ignore the complex paradigms connected with the precarious relationship between Christians and Muslims all over the globe. Since the seventh century, Christians and Muslims have interacted with one another in a variety of ways. This relationship is sated with both meaningful engagements and baffling ambiguities, running the gamut of constructive dialogue, lethargic encounters, open conflicts, and internecine violence. Nowhere is the need for interreligious cooperation, dialogue, and understanding more pressing than in the Christian and Muslim communities, which constitute approximately 60 percent of the world's population. Fractured Spectrum: Perspectives on Christian-Muslim Encounters in Nigeria deals with an important African dimension in Christian-Muslim relations. Nigeria, with its equal populations of Christians and Muslims, provides an auspicious case study for understanding the cultural, social, theological, economic, and political issues involved in Christian-Muslim encounters. The essays in this book, written by Christian and Muslim scholars who are actively engaged with the Nigerian context, examine some of the issues germane to Christian-Muslim relations in Nigeria. 176 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -After crossing the Reed Sea, Moses and the Israelites celebrate Yahweh¿s victory over the Egyptians in the «Song of the Sea» (Exod. 15:1-18). Much of the song rejoices over their recent deliverance, but its latter portion anticipates what Yahweh would do for his people in the future. Specifically, he will lead them past enemy nations and «plant» them on a mountain. Also included in this context is a reference to «the sanctuary, O Lord, which your hands have established» (v. 17). Commentators throughout the history of interpretation have understood this «sanctuary» as a reference to Solomon¿s temple on Mount Zion.However, since the temple was eventually destroyed, equating it with a divinely «established» sanctuary is questionable. Eschatological Sanctuary in Exodus 15:17 and Related Texts argues that the sanctuary mentioned in Exod. 15:17 does not refer to Solomon¿s temple or to any other «man-made» structure but to an eschatological sanctuary distinctively established by divine hands. Such an understanding of this sanctuary impacts the theology of the Pentateuch and provides a reference point for predictions of an eschatological temple in the Prophets and the Writings and for references to unconventional temples in the New Testament.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 174 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book addresses the relevance of institutional arrangements in East Asian developmental states for the Central Asian countries. It is argued that the Central Asian transition countries share crucial similarities with the economies of East Asia. By a detailed analysis of historical developments in Northeast and Southeast Asia, a coherent and comprehensive model of the developmental state on the basis of the New Institutional Economics is developed in this book. This model is applied to Central Asia by a comparative study on the basis of semi-structured interviews that were carried out in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Both Central Asian countries show notable similarities but also crucial differences to the East Asian developmental states. 348 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Cosmopolitanism and the Arab Spring: Foundations for the Decline of Terrorism analyzes the role of social media in the Arab Spring within a specific philosophical framework. Kantian cosmopolitanism, enhanced by social media and Internet communications technologies, offers a solid explanation of the political evolution of the Arab Spring. These technologies have given rise to a new cosmopolitanism that rejects alternating dichotomies in favor of an evolving consciousness of our status as citizens of a global commonwealth with a tiered set of duties to everyone within our sphere of influence. Cosmopolitanism as extended through social media has the potential to break down barriers to aid those who suffer under unjust governmental systems and to yield real and sustainable progress toward the amelioration of both tyranny and terrorism. Cosmopolitanism and the Arab Spring is recommended for political philosophy courses as well as interdisciplinary capstone courses exploring problems in the modern world. 184 pp. Englisch.

Jahrhunderts.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Ausgehend von der Musica poetica Joachim Burmeisters werden in dieser Arbeit musikalisch-rhetorische Figuren als verbreitetes Phänomen schon des 16. Jahrhunderts untersucht. Dabei läßt sich ein Bogen schlagen von der frankoflämischen Schule über die beiden Gabrieli in Venedig bis hin zu deren Schülern, zu Schütz und schließlich bis zu Monteverdi. In dieser Epoche und bei diesen Komponisten werden Grundzüge, Figuren-«Vorläufer», Tendenzen, Ausdifferenzierungen und Entwicklungen aufgezeigt. Unter Einbeziehung zeitgenössischer theoretischer Traktate, die immer mehr Regeln zur Textvertonung bieten, wird verdeutlicht, daß die Grundgedanken der Burmeisterschen Lehre längst nicht nur in der Praxis verankert waren. Dabei bleibt selbstverständlich die Nähe von Seconda pratica und musikalisch-rhetorischen Figuren nicht unberücksichtigt, ebenso wie der Affektausdruck in der Instrumentalmusik. 140 pp. Deutsch.
