This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book traces the development of the vocabulary of the German language, exemplified by 101 words, ending with Gabenzaun, from the days of Covid. The words featured in the volume are typical examples of morphological and semantic change: borrowing from other languages (Kaiser), including pseudo-loans (Blamage) loan translation ('floodlight' to Flutlicht), creation of new words through compounding (Schwiegermutter), derivation with affixes (kleingläubig), and clipping and blending (Denglisch). The book is unique in concept and scope and offers English-speaking readers an engaging way of tracing the history of the German vocabulary. 266 pp. Englisch.…

However, securitization theory has long been criticized for being gender blind. To overcome this limitation, the thesis connects the Copenhagen School's framework to the study of the 'gendering' of migration by addressing the knowledge gap of how gender can be integrated into securitization theory. The aim is to identify how gender constructions contribute to the framing of the referent object and the existential threat in the securitizing moves by the EU. An adapted conceptual framework on securitization, gender, and migration is applied to the EU migration management architecture. Employing the qualitative feminist methodology of Critical Frame Analysis, the book explores how the securitization of smuggling and trafficking is rooted in gendered constructions of vulnerability and threat based on stereotypes of femininity and masculinity.GPSR Kontakt, Harvestehuder Weg 42, 20149 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Marian Smoluchowski is the most frequently cited Polish scientist - Web of Science estimates the number of citations of his works in the period from 1894 to 2014 at 7,235 (Maria Curie-Sklodowska was cited 1,582 times during the same period). Equations relating to the theory of stochastic processes are regularly cited, and Smoluchowski's continuity equation is used in descriptions of sedimentation and coagulation processes. His research on Brownian motion contributed to the triumph of atomistic theory in physics. Thanks to their use, Richard Zsigmondy, Jean Perrin, and Theodor Svedberg received the Nobel Prize in 1925-1926. The book presents the Polish physicist's contribution to science and philosophy, especially the philosophy of nature. Smoluchowski's research on cause and chance led to the introduction of probability calculus into physics. His theory of the criterion of usefulness answers the questions of how science develops and how we verify hypotheses and theories. He proves that usefulness is a universal category and applies to all aspects of human functioning in the natural world. 458 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -At a time when education is becoming ever more standardized and technocratic, there is renewed interest in the interpersonal, even intimate phenomenon of pedagogical tact. Some speak of a renaissance. Like tact in general, pedagogical tact is a ready and delicate sense of what is fitting and proper in dealing with others. In pedagogy, these 'others' are typically children, youth, or students, and tact is exercised as a kind of disposition that is oriented to the learners' maturation and eventual autonomy. It takes the form of a subtle but active discernment that arises when theories and prescriptions simply do not help. This edited collection, the first to appear on pedagogical tact in English, includes contributions from several authors who are a part of the renaissance in this area. It also features a substantial introduction to the tradition of pedagogy from which tact emerges, and one that also traces the international development of understandings of pedagogical tact.This rich collection of recent texts on pedagogical tact provides a clear and comprehensive introduction to the intricate relationship between theory and practice. It explores various characteristics, contexts, and applications of pedagogical tact, featuring contributions from distinguished scholars from the USA, Sweden, France, Germany, and Switzerland. As the first English-language volume dedicated solely to this topic since Max van Manen's The Tact of Teaching (1991) and Pedagogical Tact (2015), it is an essential resource. Highly recommended.- Evi Agostini, Director of Studies - Education Directorate of Doctoral Studies, University of ViennaGPSR Kontakt, Harvestehuder Weg 42, 20149 Hamburg 224 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This book is a kind of Irish ghost story. In it the ghosts of Lady Augusta Gregory (1852-1932) and eight of her family members and colleagues look back over their lives-and sometimes forward beyond them-to try to make sense of them, their times, and one another. Theirs were all turbulent lives played out on the western edge of Europe at a time of great change. Lady Gregory helped shape that change at a pivotal moment in Ireland's development into a modern nation state. The author's fresh approach questions and complicates the image of her as a prim Victorian workhorse. Setting her in the midst of the personal chatter of her departed family, lovers, friends, and collaborators brings home how the historical Irish moment found her just when it needed her. 'Melding scholarship and creative work, Kevin Reilly's Gregory Ghosts vividly explores the origins of the Irish Literary Revival through fictionalized-though scrupulously factual-narratives written in the voices of the major players. The presence of Lady Gregory herself, in all her ambition and contradictions, shines through all of the lives that Reilly has so imaginatively re-created here.' -James Silas Rogers, Editor Emeritus, New Hibernia Review 'A fresh, vibrant, and fascinating contribution to the scholarly and popular literature on the Irish dramatic movement and the wider Irish Literary Renaissance.' - James Donnelly, Professor Emeritus of History, University of Wisconsin-Madison 'This book captivated me by way of its engaging imaginative premise, its originality, and its attention to historical detail.' -Dr. Kay Martinovich, School of Theatre and Dance, Northern Illinois UniversityGPSR Kontakt, Juan Ignacio Luca de Tena, 15, 28027 Madrid 152 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -A growing body of evidence reveals how EdTech is a vital apparatus of Big Tech's ubiquitous web of surveillance and control bound to larger political, economic and cultural forces. Tech companies design platforms that inflict a range of emotional, cognitive, physical and developmental harms on children, and replace human relationships with technologies that cannot provide the authentic emotional and empathetic experiences that are essential for healthy development and well-being. GenAI is fast becoming crucial infrastructure for education systems, despite its record for augmenting bigotry, generating false information and enabling cheating. Ultimately, EdTech prioritizes obedience and subverts critical literacy. This book meticulously applies critical and cultural theory to analyze the discourse of industry narratives alongside counternarratives and hard evidence that expose EdTech's role as a compulsory appendage of the exploitive and autocratic designs of the Big Data and AI ecosystem. 'As schools around the world hurtle towards wholesale embrace of more and more forms of EdTech, Timothy Scott flashes big bright red stoplights by not only debunking deceptive marketing but also illuminating the profoundly antidemocratic origins and dystopian futures of a wide range of technologies with breathtaking depth and breadth. Schooling for Silicon Valley is brilliant, eyeopening, compelling, and a must-read for anyone concerned about education, especially now.' -Kevin Kumashiro, Author of Surrendered: Why Progressives are Losing the Biggest Battles in Education 'This provocative and timely volume offers an exceedingly well researched expose of the ways that technology companies are warping teaching and learning. As corporations falsely assert that tech can replace teachers and algorithms can replace meaningful curriculum, this book gives us our talking points for resisting tech giants and their government allies.' -Celia Oyler, Professor Emerita of Education, Teachers College, Columbia University 452 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Africa stands at a pivotal crossroads-marked by persistent socioeconomic inequalities, environmental fragility, and complex development challenges, yet also rich in cultural assets, indigenous knowledge, and youth-driven creativity. Despite impressive economic growth in recent decades, the benefits of development have remained unevenly distributed, often excluding the very populations most in need. Conventional models of innovation have failed to address the continent's unique sociocultural, ecological, and institutional realities. This groundbreaking book offers a radical rethinking of innovation as a driver of inclusive and sustainable transformation in Africa. It explores how innovation can be reimagined not solely as a vehicle for economic growth, but as a catalyst for social equity, environmental resilience, and community empowerment. Through case studies, theoretical contributions, strategic frameworks, and actionable toolkits, the book challenges traditional hierarchies of knowledge and power, proposing a pluralistic, participatory, and justice-oriented innovation paradigm aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).It inspires a new generation of African innovation leaders committed to systemic change, ethical leadership, and sustainable development grounded in equity, dignity, and collective well-being.GPSR Kontakt, Juan Ignacio Luca de Tena, 15, 28027 Madrid 374 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Cybernetics, the science of control systems, was first popularised as an idea in 1948, following Norbert Wiener's seminal publication on the topic. Almost immediately, cybernetics gripped the imagination of science fiction writers and film and television producers. This collection explores decades of the intersection between cybernetics and speculative fiction, from the Cybermen of Doctor Who to the Borg of Star Trek, sci-fi luminaries from Isaac Asimov to George Lucas, and classic works like The Terminator to current outputs like The Mandalorian. It is intended as both an introduction to and a showcase for new and cutting-edge scholarship on the topic, highlighting the urgency of cybernetics research with the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), anxieties over the potential dehumanisation of society, and new futures envisioned for human-machine integration. As we become accustomed to speaking to nonhuman answering services, using AI technology in our writing, and even seeing films with nonhuman actors, this collection gives us access to rich fictional speculations about cybernetics that may help us to understand our rapidly changing world.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 266 pp. Englisch.…

Neuware -The Hebrew noun ¿¿¿ which opens and closes the book of Qoheleth is a key term; yet its exact meaning has long been debated. Most studies have attempted to understand the term by its etymology, its function, its metaphorical usage, or by its context. Three main sections shape this book. If the first section lays the foundation for the investigation on the meaning of he¿el, the second part offers an examination of Qoh 1:2-11; 12:1-8, as they both describe the fixity of human nature and the fleetingness of human experience in a fleeting world. Thus, using texts as his basis, the author of this book substantiates, in the last section, his view that ¿¿¿ functions in Qoheleth predominantly as a metaphor for brevity of life, the non-lasting aspect or effects of things. For Qoheleth, life is not vanity, meaningless, but is fleeting.GPSR Kontakt, Harvestehuder Weg 42, 20149 Hamburg 168 pp. Englisch.…
