Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This volume aims to present a critical and interdisciplinary reflection on diversity and migration mainly grouped into three axes of work: research methodologies applied to these topics; discourse analysis in intersectional narratives; and, knowledge transference into plural societies. The process of globalization means that we are living in a context of cultural exchange, bringing people closer together, getting to know their life stories and creating new links. Cultural diversity is therefore a reality in most societies. However, for a successful intercultural context to really take place, it is necessary to acquire competencies that facilitate interaction and understanding in order to face the demands of the new intercultural context that is being created. Therefore, the studies that are part of this volume approach the analysis of diversity and migration from linguistic, literary, sociological, ideological, discursive, educational and pedagogical perspectives, among others. 154 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book documents in text and photographs the extraordinary life of a man who was both a Black German and a British Empire national.Ronald Roberts was born in Germany in 1921. As the son of a Barbadian father and a white mother, Roberts suffered racial persecution in Nazi Germany and spent the Second World War interned in a civilian camp as a British national. After the war, he made a new life for himself working with the British military in occupied Austria and finally settled in a postwar Britain that was barely coming to terms with its own colonial legacy. His experiences along the way are a record of endurance, inventiveness and the stubborn refusal to 'go under' in the face of persistent racism. Roberts' prison and camp letters to his parents (a unique source) and his postwar testimony are reproduced here, along with a short biography by his widow. His story is richly illustrated with family photos and documents, and an introduction and explanatory notes provide readers with critical and historical context. 176 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Few things illustrate the absurdity of our times better than climate change. While experts warn of catastrophe, others seek business opportunities beneath the melting ice in the Arctic. Building on a Central European perspective, this book traces the region's journey from industrialization to EU integration, offering insights into both global and local climate challenges. It critically examines the intersection of geopolitics, capitalism, and environmental policy, exposing contradictions such as the pursuit of growth despite ecological limits and the ongoing tension between public and private interests. A central, perhaps idealistic, question runs throughout: Is it possible-and at what cost-to move beyond a system based on competition, overproduction, and overconsumption toward one rooted in sustainability Can the Central European experience help us better understand the challenges ahead and develop a framework that merges the achievements of the European welfare state with the principles of an eco-state GPSR Kontakt, Juan Ignacio Luca de Tena, 15, 28027 Madrid 174 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -'This diverse collection, edited by Gina Wisker, offers a range of fresh perspectives on Margaret Atwood, one of today's most important authors. Spanning feminism, ecology, posthumanism, storytelling and more, it provides new analysis into her work from her early novels to recent poetry, revealing Atwood's enduring power to challenge, inspire, and reimagine identity and survival. It is essential reading for Atwood scholars and students alike.' - Dr Claire O'Callaghan, Loughborough University'This companion to Atwood's writing is an impressively wide-ranging and theoretically ambitious addition to Atwood scholarship. It engages with key texts in her oeuvre while also discussing her libretti, poetry, short stories and children's books from a variety of critical perspectives: including biotechnologies, eco-cultural, dystopian and post-humanist approaches. In attending so fully to the ethical imperatives animating Atwood's work, the collection also provides a fascinating genealogy of feminist engagements over the past several decades.' - Dr Denise deCaires Narain, Emeritus Reader, University of Sussex'A comprehensive, intellectually provocative and accessible collection. Wisker's helpful introduction thoughtfully addresses the evolution of Atwood's work as both literature and social commentary. The essays cover everything from music, fairy tales and feminism in Atwood's work and reveal her as a groundbreaking writer across genres and modes. Thorough and engaging scholarship.' - Dr Regina Hansen, Boston University For several decades Margaret Atwood has been a consistent, insightful, wry, concerned and utterly engaged voice for our varying times. Margaret Atwood: A New Companion offers new interpretations of a wide range of Atwood's writing, including lesser discussed works like her children's books, poetry and music. The book addresses crucial contemporary political and cultural issues, including climate change, sustainability, eco-diversity, Covid-19, Trump's policies, surveillance, identity, gender and power. The collection shares new insights into the ever topical Alias Grace, The Handmaid's Tale and the legacies in The Testaments. It explores and enacts themes of mourning and loss and an exuberant engagement with life in her poetry as well as her activist writing on eco-diversity and survival. The book affirms Margaret Atwood as a fount of powerful, insightful and practical knowledge about the importance of language and story in action and of carefully and deliberately choosing, speaking and sharing insights, arguments and alternative ways of imagining. A skilled weaver of words, Atwood enacts the magic of writing, speaking truth to power.Libri GmbH, Europaallee 1, 36244 Bad Hersfeld 280 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -In this groundbreaking study, Misinformation Finds Them unearths how the perceived threat of misinformation effects on other people is just as potent -if not more so - than the actual impact that hybrid media systems have on democracy and community in the heartland. Here, it is not that rural Americans are particularly vulnerable to misinformation; they are highly active media consumers, but they generally rely on news to 'find me' rather than actively critically engaging with a diverse set of sources. This passive News Finds Me approach to media engagement, coupled with their belief that others are more susceptible to receiving and spreading misleading or false narratives, gives rise to distrust and polarization.The Misinformation Finds Them (MFT) perception is particularly potent as algorithms and AI are increasingly embedded in news distribution systems that seek to maximize user engagement with personalized content. The perceived threat of misinformation can exacerbate polarization, but the notion that misinformation radicalizes rural populations simply is not accurate, and rural Americans show no meaningful differences to their more urban counterparts in terms of knowledge and media use. 'Vogts and Groshek offer fascinating insights into the polarized media ecosystem of rural America, an under-researched area that is meticulously addressed in this innovative book. It empirically provides an understanding of the way many rural Americans in Kansas distrustfully view media, and the impact of social networks on them, especially their beliefs in misinformation itself. The authors cleverly attempt to go beyond the standard discussion of misinformation, offering a more nuanced view with their origination of the 'Misinformation Finds Them' concept. It is a must read for any citizen or scholar interested in better understanding the contemporary media environment of rural America.' - Ahmed al-Rawi, Associate Professor Simon Fraser University 'A timely, unflinching investigation into how misinformation quietly radicalizes rural America. Misinformation Finds Them doesn't just expose echo chambers. It humanizes them. Vogts and Groshek's essential read challenges stereotypes, connects hybrid media, bonding social capital, news finds me perception, and other media theories to real lives, and urges us to rethink how truth, identity, and democracy intersect in USA's heartland.' - Homero Gil de Zúñiga, Distinguished Professor University of Salamanca and Pennsylvania State UniversityGPSR Kontakt, Harvestehuder Weg 42, 20149 Hamburg 216 pp. Englisch.…

Neuware -'Wedsly Turenne Guerrier embarks on a fascinating journey that explores the contributions of iconic Haitian authors, poets, and artists who have contributed so much to its history, culture and society.'-François Pierre-Louis, Professor of Political Science and Chair, Queens College, City University of New York'This must-read book brings to the forefront aspects of Haitian history, literature and culture that have been neglected for too long. The author paints an authentic, brilliant, and novel portrait of Haiti.'-Lewis Ampidou Clorméus, Professor of Sociology, State University of Haiti, Associate Research Scholar, Yale UniversityIn spite of its richness and beauty, Haitian literature remains, for the most part, unknown and understudied. It is multilingual, creating further barriers for many readers. Beyond Rebellion and Exoticism: Selected Visions of Haiti 1892-1994 aims to overcome these barriers, presenting Haitian literature in all its dazzling variety and contrasts, and offering translations of previously untranslated works from French and Haitian Creole into English. The book analyzes works by Haitian writers such as Massillon Coicou, Jacques Roumain, Jean-Claude Martineau, Emmanuel Védrine and Anne-Christine d'Adesky, as well as the Martinican author Aimé Césaire. Published between 1892 and 1994, this distinguished body of work reveals the multiplicity of Haitian identity and interiority. Across various languages, periods and genres, these authors use their voices to resist illegitimate power and dictatorship. By showing the impact of colonization and slavery on Haitian thought, the interference of the international community in Haiti's affairs, the dictatorial nature of the Duvalier regimes, and the efforts by Haitian citizens to improve their lives and reject hegemonic influences, author Wedsly Guerrier presents a compelling portrait of Haiti that moves beyond preconceived notions of this complicated, fascinating, and unique country. 132 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Opinions create issues and issues generate controversies. This book presents the intricacies of this process and proposes issue mapping as a critical methodology to unravel bias. STS researchers have recently developed interest in grounded action research since such biases are produced in daily life. Thus, grounded participatory action research and issue mapping are related in that both perspectives aim to understand complex social issues by engaging with real-world situations and experiences. By combining these methodologies, the study aims to inspire collaborative knowledge commons in decentering top-down power mechanisms in education and science - a promising step towards active listening and unlearning for social transformation.GPSR Kontakt, Juan Ignacio Luca de Tena, 15, 28027 Madrid 158 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This book is centred around an interesting reflection on Clinical Pastoral Education, a methodology now entering the conclusion of its first century in existence. Charting the history from humble beginnings in Boston, this book then moves to explore some of the now key elements of contemporary CPE - narrative therapy, theological reflection, self-development and joy. This book is revolutionary in that it advocates for a movement away from the old style of CPE, to one that is more focused on using softer and newer teaching styles and methodologies. There is a call to harness greater joy and laughter for instance, to help support the learning process within the classroom. This is with the hope of encouraging and enabling self-awareness and self-revelation. It is revolutionary too in its style and approach. For instance, the use of Brené Brown's paradigm for wholehearted living (courage, compassion, connection) is explored here as a means for triggering the crafting and direction of pastoral relationships. This book provides a reflective and engaging exploration of Clinical Pastoral Education and is a must have for anyone with more than a passing interest in it, in pastoral (practical) theology and ministry, as a whole.GPSR Kontakt, Juan Ignacio Luca de Tena, 15, 28027 Madrid 154 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Basic Writing in the 21st Century offers a cutting-edge survey of basic writing practices, issues, and scholarship as well as a much-needed resource for all writing instructors and scholars. The book's thirty-three original essays-written by emerging scholars, mid-career professionals, and established and award-winning scholars-offer rich, varied discussions of concerns that typically receive far too little attention in basic writing as well as writing studies altogether. Topics include ableism and accessibility, queer perspectives on teaching and learning, translingualism, teaching multilingual writers, and the impact of institutional landscapes on teaching and learning. Bookended by intriguing overviews of legacy scholars' contributions and compelling, experience-based teaching/learning narratives, this truly significant book represents contemporary practices and current perspectives while also being certain to stand the test of time. Timely and thought-provoking. This collection reframes the formative era of basic writing scholarship within a context of critique, revision, and expansion. It shows why basic writing inquiry-and the committed scholars it attracts-will always be the lifeblood of our field. And it serves as a guidebook for a new generation of teachers and scholars who want to understand how to make a difference. - Deborah Brandt, Professor Emerita of English, University of Wisconsin-Madison The breadth of Basic Writing in the 21st Century is breathtaking. The authors span the history and currency of basic writing, oldtimers to relative newcomers, their scholarship, research, pedagogy, and personal stories: history, theory, philosophy, politics (from the politics we carry in ourselves, from the world to the small, rural college, university to community college), the pedagogies that have stood the tests of time to pedagogies that tell of these times, tools for the classroom (physical and digital). Fifty years of basic writing in one collection, fifty years of continuous struggle to keep the foot in the institutional door. This is a critically important collection. - Victor Villanueva, Regents Professor & Edward R. Meyer Distinguished Professor of Liberal Arts, Washington State UniversityGPSR Kontakt, Juan Ignacio Luca de Tena, 15, 28027 Madrid 570 pp. Englisch.…

Neuware -What if you could walk through Greece with Martin Heidegger, engage him in dialogue, and explore the depths of his masterpiece, Being and Time This volume invites you on an imaginary journey alongside the philosopher, where each stop becomes an opportunity to explore-vividly and concretely-the major themes of his magnum opus: the question of Being, Dasein, being-in-the-world, facticity, understanding, care, anxiety, authenticity, temporality, projection, death, and freedom.Through these exchanges, you are guided on a journey that is both intellectually rigorous and profoundly engaging, illuminating the deepest dimensions of Heidegger's thinking, all within the timeless atmosphere of Greek wisdom.Whether you are new to Heidegger or already familiar with this seminal 20th-century thinker, this book invites you to rediscover how Being reveals itself in the fabric of everyday life-even as it has been progressively obscured by the metaphysical tradition-under the radiant light of the Greek islands or in the shadow of the Parthenon.A bold and accomplished attempt to draw Heidegger into a fictional conversation set in the places in Greece that meant most to him. The book explores key ideas from Being and Time with extraordinary clarity and vividness-especially those fundamental insights that still have the power to orient our lives today. In addition, the book offers genuine aesthetic pleasure. Rüdiger Safranski, author of Martin Heidegger: Between Good and EvilLang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 124 pp. Englisch.…

Neuware -While hard lockdown was avoided in Sweden during Covid-19, 5 years on much reflection has taken place over the pandemic legacy across the world. The US House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic concluded its investigations in 2024, and the UK Covid-19 Inquiry continued into 2025 and 2026. Sweden was also scrutinized by a Coronakommission, its final report appearing in 2022. The aftermath of Sweden's pandemic pointed to experience and outcome not so far removed from that of other European countries of comparable size. However, its critics, excited and intrigued by Sweden's approach to Covid-19, would point to the many elderly dead and see unfavorable comparison with outcomes elsewhere in the Nordic region. This detailed and fact-filled book embraces the continuing interest in Sweden's approach, and is an attempt to dismantle the myths and misconceptions around it, offering a more nuanced and thorough understanding of Sweden's response to Covid-19.GPSR Kontakt, Juan Ignacio Luca de Tena, 15, 28027 Madrid 222 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -National school systems have been significantly conditioned by two global trends since the end of the 20th century. On the one hand, there is a shift towards inclusive education that aims at accommodating schooling to all pupils' learning conditions. On the other hand, there is a rapidly growing focus on standards, emphasising goal achievement for all pupils as well. In this field of tension, the profession of special educators has been central, as it has traditionally focused on students for whom instruction in regular classrooms lacks appropriate educational solutions yet still expects regular goal achievement. While much is known about how global trends have changed national school systems and teaching professions, we know little about how these trends have affected special education professions internationally. Against this background, this volume presents studies on the formation of Special education professions since the 2000s in Germany and Sweden.GPSR Kontakt, Harvestehuder Weg 42, 20149 Hamburg 302 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This book provides an extensive analysis of the narratives showcased in history museums related to victimhood nationalism in Poland and South Korea. As victimhood nationalism in these countries is often stimulated by certain memory exhibitions with historical context, the author focuses on exploring how museums, through their memory exhibitions of cultural memory, trigger nationalism and stimulate a sense of victimhood in Poland and Korea. This book utilizes Cultural Studies' interdisciplinary tools, combining textual and contextual analysis, while also providing historical background to enhance the reader's understanding. Based on this analysis, the author introduces the concept of a memory factory, emphasizing the role of museums not only as spaces for displaying chronological history but as factories that generate cultural memories in large quantities. Through this, the author claims that victimhood nationalism is a consequence but also an inheritance of cultural memory.GPSR Kontakt, Harvestehuder Weg 42, 20149 Hamburg 234 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -The Holocaust, one of history's darkest chapters, not only annihilated millions but also shattered the human conscience. Amidst this devastation, women bore unique and often overlooked forms of suffering-subjected to forced deportation, sexual violence, and the systematic erasure of identity. This book offers a pioneering feminist reading of Holocaust fiction, focusing on five novels-Sophie's Choice by William Styron, The Reader by Bernhard Schlink, Torn Thread by Anne Isaacs, The Kommandant's Girl by Pam Jenoff, and Saving Amelie by Cathy Gohlke. Through these narratives, it examines how women's bodies and minds became sites of both oppression and defiance. Interweaving historical insight, psychological depth, and gender analysis, the study reclaims women's voices from the margins of Holocaust memory, illuminating their endurance, agency, and quiet resistance. A valuable contribution to Holocaust and feminist literary studies, this book underscores the indomitable resilience of the human spirit.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 160 pp. Englisch.…

Neuware -This book offers a comparative overall perspective on the birth and development of the Baltic national church history writing from the beginning of the twentieth century until the Second World War. How did the research trends of the era, the ecclesiastical situation and the tensions in the Baltic Sea Region connect to the national Protestant historiography Up to now, the topic has been discussed mostly in terms of individual countries, but in this book, the perspective is broader. Along with Estonia and Latvia, the emerging national Protestant historiography of Lithuania is examined as a part of this whole.The subject is analysed through three professors, Olaf Sild (1879-1944; the University of Tartu, Estonia), Ludvigs Adamovi¿s (1884-1942; the University of Latvia, Riga) and Vilius Gaigalaitis (Wilhelm Gaigalat, 1870-1945; the University of Lithuania, Kaunas).
