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.

A standout feature of the book is its comprehensive coverage of the topic over the past 40 years. Using the most recent data available, it provides a detailed analysis segmented by region (rural/urban), sector, gender, age, education level, and social and religious demographics. It also offers policy recommendations to enhance employment as the country navigates the challenges posed by globalisation.Students and researchers in Indian economics, labour economics, development studies, and gender studies, as well as policy planners, will find this book helpful. 470 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.

Neuware -This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the dynamics and challenges of teaching Portuguese in China, particularly in Macao and Mainland China. This insightful study delves into the historical, socio-economic, and educational contexts that shape the learning experiences of native Chinese speakers.The book is structured in four chapters: the contextualization of the study, Chinese learner' profiles, Portuguese proficiency, and the dynamics of student mobility in the twenty-first century. In addition to a comparative analysis of data from Macao and Mainland China, the authors-through detailed surveys and examples of common errors-offer valuable recommendations for improving pedagogical practices and enhancing language proficiency.This comprehensive study is highly relevant, as it addresses the growing importance of Portuguese in China's educational landscape, driven by historical ties and increasing economic and cultural exchanges between China and Portuguese-speaking countries.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 200 pp. Englisch.

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 -¿Este libro resulta de investigaciones propias acerca de la ficción literaria y televisiva y se propone estudiar las transferencias entre géneros y modelos narrativos, los cuales, a su vez, remiten también a la tradición cinematográfica o serial.Breaking Bad, Fariña, Vivir sin permiso, Hierro, Rapa, O sabor das margaridas o Black mirror son una interesante muestra de literatura expandida en la pantalla global, al trascender contenidos concebidos para el mero entretenimiento y optar por producciones audiovisuales de compleja factura artística y de elevada calidad narrativa.A tal efecto, la literatura, como el paradigma creativo por antonomasia, ofrece a menudo un marco reconocible y legitimado del que se nutren las historias, personajes o tramas de estas series, como ejemplo de lo que se ha denominado la Quality Television.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 140 pp. Spanisch.

Neuware -Thought So: On Words and Pictures Past proposes a new way to look at style in European-inspired art and science over the past 150 years. It examines pictures used by easel painters and words used by scientists and mathematicians, considering art and science as complementary creative enterprises. Author Lewis Pyenson affirms that historians of art and science are most effective when they formulate their own protocols to address the documents and artifacts they see. The book offers social history of art and science in an overlooked setting, modern Argentina, to motivate a new, general picture of Modernity. It interrogates large data sets in the worlds of art and physics publishing over the past three generations to suggest that we are at the door of a change in general artistic and scientific sensibilities-a distinct, integrative style.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 184 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This book is the first study to place Nietzsche's Dionysian philosophy in the context of his overall thought. It interprets Nietzsche's Dionysian philosophy as a development of his earliest thinking as it is laid out in his school dissertation on Theognis of Megara. As author Carlos A. Segovia contends, the key figure in this early thinking is not Dionysus but Apollo, an earthly Apollo who, despite his partial erasure after The Birth of Tragedy, haunts Nietzsche in his later writings, including his unpublished fragments and Thus Spoke Zarathustra. The author also shows that retrieving Nietzsche's pre-Dionysian Apollo can help us move beyond the theoretical limits assumed by today's two major philosophical trends, speculative realism and new materialism, thus stressing Nietzsche's untimeliness from a strictly contemporary standpoint.This book is essential reading for all interested in Nietzsche and the birth of contemporary philosophy, including graduate students and researchers.'Carlos Segovia pleads his case for a reappraisal of Apollo in the corpus of Nietzsche, but he also leverages his case for an intriguing fresh look at the importance of Nietzsche's thought for contemporary strategies of earth affirmation and reclamation. This study is well-documented, well-reasoned and reliable in its close readings of Nietzsche's Zarathustra and the host of sources both ancient and modern that contributed to The Birth of Tragedy and Nietzsche's Dionysus-related writing. Segovia covers surprisingly vast ground in this small treatise-readers from numerous traditions will be pleased!' -Adrian Del Caro, Professor of German Studies, University of Tennessee; General Editor, The Complete Works of Friedrich Nietzsche, Stanford University PressLang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 216 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Contemporary global sport is in constant, sometimes bewildering flux. This book goes beyond orthodox globalisation theory, deploying the metaphor of 'playing on the edge' in analysing the dynamic process of making and remaking sport culture in Asia and Oceania. Beyond sport's traditionally dominant centres in the West, here the edges of the sport and media fields are vividly exposed, re-positioned, blunted and sharpened, revealing many points of tension - racial, ethnic, gendered, classed, sexual, cultural, linguistic, national, etc. - and in many combinations. This embraces many dimensions of the sport-society nexus relating to subjects including association (soccer) and Australia rules football, cricket, esport, casual and urban community sport, the Gay Games, and sports diplomacy. Playing on the Edge engages with the socio-cultural implications of this relentless sporting movement in considering the extent to which the Occidental may, in some respects, be becoming incidental.Playing on the Edge is an exciting contribution to understanding the complexities, specificities, multidirectional nature, and unevenness of sport and globalization. It makes a convincing case for widening analytical horizons and frames of reference as sport cultures in Asia and Oceania influence and perhaps represent the future of world sport.Professor Toni Bruce, University of Auckland, Aotearoa New ZealandFocusing on the unconventional geographical pairing of Asia and Oceania, Playing on the Edge offers a fresh perspective on globalization and sport. In addressing enduring concerns with the social, cultural and political dimensions and emerging issues in gender, technology, and intellectual property, the authors illuminate world sport's complex, edgy connections.Professor Younghan Cho, Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, South KoreaLang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 218 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Le cinéaste et écrivain franco-cambodgien Rithy Panh fuit le Cambodge à la fin des années 1970, un pays dévasté à la suite des actes génocidaires des Khmers rouges. Ce livre se penche sur les ouvrages de Rithy Panh en lien avec ses films documentaires. La mise en récit initiale dans les films et la remise en récit dans les ouvrages soulèvent des questions fondamentales : pourquoi un cinéaste au succès retentissant comme Rithy Panh s'est-il tourné vers l'écriture pour remettre en récit le génocide cambodgien et approfondir le processus du deuil Quel rôle jouent les publications de Rithy Panh dans son '¿uvre¿de sépulture¿' et dans la construction de la figure du témoin-survivant qui lui est propre L'auteur montre que les écrits de Panh supplémentent ses films documentaires en remettant en récit le génocide cambodgien de façon novatrice et inattendue, tout en permettant d'exercer un travail de mémoire unique dans la littérature testimoniale contemporaine.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 138 pp. Englisch.
