Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Der Angriffskrieg Russlands gegen die Ukraine hat das östliche Europa in den Fokus der Öffentlichkeit gerückt. Eine Region, die bisher im öffentlichen Diskurs eher eine marginale Rolle für die Europäische Identität spielte, ist inzwischen geografisch viel bekannter geworden. Weniger bekannt sind dagegen die historischen und kulturellen Hintergründe der aktuellen Auseinandersetzungen. Der vorliegende Band widmet sich nicht nur dem östlichen Europa - etwa Russland und der Ukraine -, sondern auch dem südöstlichen Teil dieses Kulturraums. Aus historischer, philologischer, juristischer, wirtschaftswissenschaftlicher und theologischer Perspektive werden die Ursachen kriegerischer Auseinandersetzungen und friedenspolitische Entwicklungen beleuchtet. Die Beiträge basieren auf Vorträgen, die im Rahmen einer Ringvorlesung des Zentrums für Osteuropa-Studien in Kiel gehalten wurden.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -The volume is based on the assumption that, as demonstrated by the British psychologist Keith Oatley and the Portuguese neuroscientist Antonio Damasio, emotions are involuntary responses to sensory triggers and give rise to real action programs. Generated by the limbic brain and capable of releasing chemical molecules such as dopamine or cortisol, the triggering of emotional responses is involuntarily and relies on images for activation since they have the power to capture emotions, as argued by Aby Warburg. This means that, although emotions are genetically embedded in our behavioral repertoire, they are controlled and managed according to the social group and culture to which individuals belong. As a matter of fact, all individuals share the same repertoire of emotional responses, but it is culture that governs how this repertoire is expressed.Desire and lust, care and nourishment, attachment and love, joy, anger, contempt, panic, compassion, admiration, fear, envy, and jealousy find their activation space in the social context. So, for Damasio, emotions represent a toolkit essential to relational life, and this volume primarily addresses the relationship between emotions and historical-cultural contexts.GPSR Kontakt, Juan Ignacio Luca de Tena, 15, 28027 Madrid 130 pp. Englisch.…

Neuware -The conventional view of the British Army's two Ireland campaigns - first in Southern Ireland [1919-1921] and then, two generations later, in Northern Ireland [1969-2007] - are that the first was an outright defeat and the second, a military stalemate. This book challenges these judgements. Deploying hitherto unused or misunderstood archival materials, it documents how in both campaigns the Army, acting in support of the Royal Irish Constabulary and the Royal Ulster Constabulary, respectively, achieved considerable success at both tactical and operational levels. However, the persistence of perverse, self-harming 'operating codes' on the part of generations of the British policy elite meant that the strategic outcomes bore little relation to the operational successes achieved against insurgency and terrorism. Professor Sloan shows how over the span of a century, the Whitehall/Westminster nexus twice seized political defeat from the jaws of military victories achieved for the Crown by the Army. He finds and names the guilty men. This book is explosive. It will be uncomfortable but essential reading on both sides of the Irish Sea.'Sloan's gripping book uncovers a century of dirty work by dirty men in Ireland. Exceptional' - Professor Gwythian Prins, Fellow Emmanuel College Cambridge and Emeritus Research Professor LSE.'Sloan's strategic history of the Army's campaigns in Ireland and Northern Ireland is compelling. His understanding of the 'operating codes' makes it a must read!' - Dr Aaron Edwards, Senior Lecturer in Defence and International Affairs, Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, UK.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 298 pp. Englisch.…

I searched for dialog between Europe and America through the link between Venice and Las Vegas.'Through the mode of the auto-socio-biography, Shapiro's 'Venice in Las Vegas' examines the cultural, political, and technological events, and reaction of the media, that shaped the period of the 1960s through the 1980s across the United States and Europe. Shapiro weaves his personal experiences into the investigation, engaging with writers such as Baudrillard, Camus, Auster, and others, whose work is so intricately tied to his own memories of that time. 290 pp. Englisch.…

Neuware -This volume's contributions highlight the legal practice by Courts through three insightful perspectives.The first one addresses interpretative methods in civil and criminal law, beginning with Germany's Interessenjurisprudenz and its application in German courts. It then reviews the French judicial approach to interpreting civil and criminal texts and explores how the Supreme Court of Kazakhstan handles normative interpretation. The second perspective discusses constitutional control mechanisms, analyzing how the French Constitutional Council uses transitional interpretative reservations, the UK's evolution linked to the Human Rights Act, and the rise of constitutional control in Kazakhstan's legal system. Finally, the third one investigates how domestic courts interact with the Convention on the Contract for the International Carriage of Goods by Road (CMR) and examines the handling of double taxation treaties by courts in Kazakhstan and Russia.Les contributions de ce volume mettent en lumière la pratique juridique des tribunaux à travers trois perspectives.La première aborde les méthodes d'interprétation en droit civil et pénal, en commençant par l'Interessenjurisprudenz allemande et son application dans les tribunaux allemands.

Building on qualitative research, including in-depth interviews, document analysis, and participant observation, the text argues that both seekers and dwellers appreciate the parish's optional yet comprehensive pastoral character. Many individuals value how their social, spiritual, and intellectual needs are addressed with seriousness and respect. The parish reconciles the tension between religious offerings and spiritual needs through its pastoral ministry and public engagement. In line with current pastoral trends such as equality, interdependence, and subsidiarity, the book advocates implementing optionality, specialization, and personalization as effective strategies for future parish and chaplaincy ministries.GPSR Kontakt, Juan Ignacio Luca de Tena, 15, 28027 Madrid 186 pp. Englisch.…

It is a doctrine that is either acknowledged in passing or ignored altogether. This is primarily due to the apparent drastic shift in the theological posture, language, and terminologies used by Bonhoeffer later in life, dovetailed with the dramatic circumstances surrounding his involvement with the conspiracy to overthrow Adolf Hitler's regime and his subsequent imprisonment and execution. However, this book provides a detailed examination of the contours of Bonhoeffer's key doctrines - Christology, ecclesiology, and the Christian life - and reveals that the eschatological concept of the kingdom of God is, in fact, an underlying thread that permeates, animates, and sustains his entire corpus.GPSR Kontakt, Juan Ignacio Luca de Tena, 15, 28027 Madrid 270 pp. Englisch.…

Schools are now 'dwelling spaces' where individuals spend much of their day developing and connecting. This book highlights the educational quality of these spaces, seen as both relational systems and physical objects shaped by educational intentions.The book explores educational architecture as a living space through the dialogue between pedagogy and architecture, emphasizing how design and pedagogical approaches can synergize to create environments that foster learning and personal growth. Instead of a standard model, it offers innovative ideas for transforming schools into welcoming 21st-century spaces.The authors, based in South Tyrol and Taranto, examine educational space, school time, and community development. They propose creating home-like spaces and a holistic view of school time, incorporating playful and creative aspects. Contributions from Cesare Scurati and Sandy Attia enrich the discussion, exploring educational leadership and school management. The book advocates for a new educational architecture that fosters growth and connection, combining pedagogy and design to meet contemporary needs.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 200 pp. Englisch.…

Neuware -Utopian Variations is a comparative critical study of a variety of kinds of utopia and utopian discourse. Rather than focusing on more familiar forms of utopia, the book considers utopia in relation to a range of topics that have received less attention within utopian studies, including literary modernism, postsecularism, transhumanism, antihumanism, xenofeminism, the Covid-19 pandemic, recent speculation about postcapitalism, and utopianism since the 2007-8 financial crisis. The book also makes an entirely original argument for a re-evaluation of the concept of the utopian blueprint that breaks with academic orthodoxy in this area. As well as drawing on literature, film, and popular culture, there is extensive engagement with social theory, cultural theory, and queer theory, resulting in a rich, wide-ranging study.A small book on very big ideas. The title tells us there'll be variety, and Sean Seeger delivers that variety not just in terms of the forms discussed but of the texts explored too. Utopian Variations is both accessible and interesting. The writing is clear and to the point but there's no sacrificing on the detail. Seeger focuses his attention on the forms of utopia and utopianism that have received less attention in academic work to date, and his chronological approach makes it easy to track the evolution of the central ideas explored. I learnt a lot reading this book and have been introduced to a great many new texts. Matthew Leggatt, University of WinchesterLang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 226 pp. Englisch.…

Neuware -The book documents the spoken Polish of oldest Bukovina inhabitants - a geographical and historical region on the border of Ukraine and Romania. The spoken Polish in Bukovina is a dying heritage that holds a unique value for the Polish culture. It constitutes a conglomeration of local varieties of Polish, whose speakers arrived in waves from remote regions to an area that never belonged to the Polish state. These dialects then grew in long-term isolation from other versions of the Polish language while being surrounded by languages from three other groups: Germanic, Slavic, and Romance. The book provides numerous examples of the use of spoken Polish. The method used in the study - language as a guide to the experienced world - provides an insight into the world of Bukovina inhabitants, allowing readers to learn about the linguistic phenomena and sociocultural processes that underlie the everyday functioning of multilingual and multicultural social communities. 266 pp. Englisch.…
