Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -A manifesto for the systems-thinking-informed approach to incident and accident investigation, this accessible text is aimed at experts and generalists. A Glossary of Terms explains key concepts.The premise is both unoriginal and original. Unoriginal, because it stands on the shoulders of systems-thinking pioneers ¿ Barry Turner, Bruno Latour, Charles Perrow, Erik Hollnagel, Diane Vaughan and other luminaries. Original, because it is populist: The Systems-thinking for Safety series shows how theoretical insights can help make the world a safer place. Potentially, the series as a whole, and this manifesto text, have agency.True to its mission to affect change, the book uses case studies to demonstrate how systems-thinking can help stakeholders learn from incidents, accidents and near-misses. The case studies of, for example, the Piper Alpha and Deepwater Horizon offshore disasters, the Lac-Mégantic rail disaster, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, the United States Navy collisions and the Grenfell Tower fire, demonstrate the universal applicability of systems-thinking. The manifesto argues that the systems-thinking informed approach to incident, accident and near-miss investigation, while resource intensive and effortful, produces tangible safety benefits and, by ensuring that «right is done», delivers justice and closure.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 170 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In How Stories Teach Us: Composition, Life Writing, and Blended Scholarship, Amy E. Robillard and D. Shane Combs leave behind the debate between the personal and the academic in composition studies in order to witness what happens when composition scholars allow both the personal and the academic to act upon them in the stories they tell. The editors and contributors, in blending their scholarship, celebrate the influence of life writing on their work and allow the contexts of their lives and the urgency of their stories to blend together for a range of approaches to scholarship and essay writing. This blended scholarship features scholars and teachers dealing with loss, grief, illness, trauma, depression, abuse, gender identity, and the ravages of time. How Stories Teach Us is both a challenge and an invitation to composition scholars to pursue a fuller and more robust approach to their scholarship and life stories. It is also an invitation to teachers of composition to open up the potentials of blended scholarship to the students they teach.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 222 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Highly Effective Teachers of Vulnerable Students contains the quintessential details of highly effective teachers working with students who live in poverty inside our public schools and community colleges.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Unsettling Education: Searching for Ethical Footing in a Time of Reform offers a counter-narrative to the prevailing orthodoxies of schooling and school reform that conflate education and learning with that which can be measured on state-mandated examinations. Despite the push to 'settle' the purposes of teaching and schooling in ways that see education as the teaching of a discrete set of skills that align with standardized exams, there are teachers and students who continue to resist standardization and whose stories suggest there are many ways to organize schools, design curriculum, and understand the purposes of education. Unsettling Education shares stories of how teachers have resisted state and local mandates to teach to the test in dehumanizing ways, how such teachers have sought to de-commodify educational spaces, how they have enacted their ethical commitments to students and communities, and how they have theorized such practices, sometimes even reconsidering their roles as teachers and the very purposes of schooling. Volume contributors offer concrete ways in which teachers might challenge the structures of schooling to reveal the full humanity and potential of students through different forms of resistance pedagogy, institutional critiques, and critical self-reflection. Featuring a wide range of voices and contexts, the collections¿ chapters blend story and theory, resulting in a volume both accessible and thought-provoking to varied audiences¿from undergraduate students of education and concerned citizens to veteran educators, teacher educators, administrators, and policymakers.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 250 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Public Relations and Journalism in Times of Crisis dissects crisis communication case studies from both the journalists¿ and the public relations professionals¿ perspectives. The authors, Andrea Miller, a former journalist, and Jinx Coleman Broussard, a former public relations professional, interviewed dozens of journalists and PR professionals involved in some of the most visible crises of the last few years: Hurricane Katrina, Ebola in America, the Blue Bell Ice Cream recall, Susan G. Komen vs. Planned Parenthood, race relations in Ferguson, Missouri, and at the University of Missouri, the great flood of Baton Rouge in 2016, and the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. Hundreds of press releases and press stories were also reviewed. The authors provide practical strategies for working journalists and public relations practitioners to enhance the flow of information in a crisis so that audiences and stakeholders can make educated, rational decisions to protect their families and livelihoods. The book also acquaints professors and students of PR and journalism with the realities of covering and managing crises, including what works and why, as well as mistakes that occur that could damage their organizations. Public Relations and Journalism in Times of Crisis is unique for its analysis of the communication of cases from both perspectives. At the end of each case are takeaways for both sets of professionals, as well as industry best practice suggestions.Lang, Peter GmbH, Gontardstraße 11, 10178 Berlin 244 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The first two decades of the 21st century have been characterised by conflict, displacement, growing economic insecurity and austerity. Increasing social polarisation has meant that contemporary societies are becoming more unequal with smaller segments of the population having access to the most wealth. Ongoing conflicts around the world and the ongoing refugee crisis in Europe has only intensified calls for justice, equity, compassion and understanding. We live in times of despair and conflict, but also times of hope and action.Social Justice in Times of Crisis and Hope examines the possibilities and consequences of the relationship between young people, well-being, education and social justice in times of crisis and hope. Drawing together contributions from around the globe, the chapters examine the role of young people in contemporary social movements, the kinds of demands that are being made by the world¿s young people and the spaces within which they are making such demands. Authors engage with notions of justice and well-being, what this means in the contemporary moment and for whom. They interrogate the politics of increasingly global education to think about the limits and possibilities, challenges and opportunities, for education to play a role in delivering on the promise of social justice. 256 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Research links social movement and education, but almost no related studies address classroom practices. Oaxacan teachers in this ethnography are political and pedagogical pioneers who move between the streets and schools. This book materializes from the practices of politics in classrooms and the manifestations and rural primaria communities in a major migration-sending region of Southeastern Mexico. Movements on the Streets and in Schools theorizes teaching and activism in creative tension, with what Anna Tsing called 'friction of global connection.' Using friction, three contentious concepts emerge: quality, patrimony, and governability. Through the engaged universals of quality, patrimony, and governability, this book describes and analyzes how activism and teaching intertwine on the city streets and in the rural schools. Here, teaching, between uprisings, police raids, and austerity reforms, reveals how operating critically transcends a centered critical project. For instance, quality, to state and corporate philanthropists, leads to standardization, but parents and pupils rally around quality education to demand learning-centered schools. Likewise, patrimony may drive heritage for the tourist market, but patrimony also permits teachers to claim labor rights on historical grounds. Lastly, governability, an NGO imperative for Global Southern countries like Mexico, becomes pedagogical when the misrule of state authorities leads to police raids against teachers and cuts to public education. Movements on the Streets and in Schools is timely, as the activism-schooling nexus has just begun to generate interest with high-profile events on and around campuses worldwide. Both pre- and in-service teachers, education activists, administrators, and professors alike will find this book essential in bringing activism into their classroom practices in a clear and cohesive manner. 284 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -«This little gem offers the reader an overview of the various practices that form part of the ever increasing field of audiovisual translation (AVT) and makes brave inroads into the less glamorous but definitely needed areas of theory and research. Covering a wide range of topics in research in AVT, and admittedly questioning «whether a universal methodology for audiovisual translation research is feasible», this volume theorises about the nature of AVT, helps to frame some of the current trends, and points to potentially new research avenues. The style is reader friendly and to the point; a most welcome addition to translation studies.»Jorge Díaz Cintas, University College London 170 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Der Mensch Jesus kann verstanden werden als Gottes Hauptdarsteller in dem Theaterstück, das Weltgeschichte heißt. Das ist die These dieses Buches. Es gibt historische Indizien dafür, dass er sich selbst so sah, etwa die Nähe der Stadt Nazareth zum antiken Theater in Sepphoris. Die These lässt sich jedoch vor allem semiotisch begründen, wenn man die Person Jesu als ein mehrdimensionales Zeichen versteht. Jesus und seine Jüngerinnen und Jünger machten Glaube, Hoffnung und Liebe als Grunddimensionen menschlicher Existenz sichtbar. Wer ihm nachfolgt, lebt ebenfalls in diesen Dimensionen und erkennt Gott als den Regisseur der Geschichte an. Dessen Hauptdarsteller Jesus ist auch heute noch leibhaft erfahrbar, unter anderem im Leben der Glaubenden und im Geschehen von Gottesdienst und Abendmahl.Peter Lang Group AG Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaft, Place de la gare 12, 1003 LAUSANNE 142 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Ce volume collectif interroge les modalités d¿élaboration, de diffusion et de perception des souvenirs historiques dans les milieux contre-révolutionnaires français, italiens et espagnols à l¿époque contemporaine. Si la tradition historiographique contre-révolutionnaire, en tant que système de pensée, est aujourd¿hui assez bien connue, elle ne doit pas dissimuler la multiplicité des usages militants du passé, à l¿échelle individuelle ou collective. Pour ne pas rompre le «¿fil de l¿histoire¿» et transmettre le flambeau aux nouvelles générations, les contre-révolutionnaires ont tout à la fois exalté la légitimité historique des princes et valorisé le comportement exemplaire de ceux qui ont su leur rester fidèles dans l¿adversité. La construction de généalogies, d¿armoriaux ou d¿histoires familiales permet de conjurer la rupture révolutionnaire ou «¿l¿usurpation¿» dynastique, tandis que les pèlerinages, auprès des princes en exil, sur des tombeaux ou sur des sites de bataille, se doublent souvent d¿une collecte de souvenirs et de reliques. Les contributions réunies dans ce volume témoignent de l¿émergence, à l¿échelle européenne, d¿une véritable contre-culture historique, fondée sur la célébration de la fidélité, érigée en vertu politique fondamentale face à «¿l¿opportunisme libéral¿» et à la «¿subversion révolutionnaire¿». Tout autant qüaux supports ¿ livres, monuments ou musées ¿, une grande attention a été portée aux acteurs de cette «¿histoire en blanc¿», leurs circulations et leur insertion dans les réseaux contre-révolutionnaires de leur temps.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 186 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -S¿il a été possible de penser la localisation comme support privilégié de l¿idée même de culture, nous assistons sans doute aujourd¿hui à une inversion qui fait du déplacement, de la mobilité et de la migration des pratiques constitutives des significations culturelles. Les lieux, d¿ordinaire observés comme des images fixes, doivent alors être envisagés aussi comme les supports mobiles d¿une multiplicité de parcours et de discours dotés d¿une intensité configurante et modélisante.Ainsi, les études rassemblées ici questionnent le rapport entre espace et littérature à partir de l¿idée que notre expérience du «¿réel¿» s¿élabore de manière relationnelle et discursive. Les récits qui se construisent à partir de l¿expérience de mobilité spatiale nous offrent une porte d¿entrée privilégiée pour observer la dimension performative de la narration, la capacité qüont la littérature et les arts de s¿insérer dans l¿ensemble varié et stratifié de nos expériences, d¿influencer notre rapport au monde et notre figuration de l¿espace.Dans la perspective de cette «¿mise en relation¿», la question de la mobilité interroge ici les représentations institutionnelles et individuelles de l¿espace ; les projections cartographiques et les pratiques d¿appropriation du territoire¿; les notions de vitesse, d¿accélération et de lenteur¿; le droit de passage et les frontières.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 182 pp. Französisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Ireland and the North is an edited collection of chapters engaging with the relationship between Ireland and the Nordic countries. As a spatial and geographical point of reference for the formation of political and cultural identities in Ireland, the idea of «the North» encourages the identification of overlooked connections between Ireland and the Nordic countries, which, like Ireland, are also small nation states on the periphery of Europe. Importantly, the book employs a double conceptualisation of «the North» to include Northern Ireland. Moving beyond the nation state as a key framework for analysis of human activity, this collection engages with the transnational and transcultural in a mapping of connectivity and exchange. Relationships explored are imaginary and material exchanges, civic and personal linkages, literary adaptation and appropriation, transfers of cultural artefacts, political institutions and ideas. Chapters are drawn from a wide-ranging field of study that includes art history, literary history and theory, archaeology, antiquarianism, and media studies in addition to political analysis. With three sections on Material Culture, Political Culture and Print Culture, the book moves beyond the predominant literary paradigm in Irish Studies to make a significant contribution to expanding and developing the field.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 338 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Quelle importance les Romains accordaient-ils à la présence de l¿eau, et jusqüà quel point celle-ci jouait-elle un rôle dans leur vie quotidienne¿ C¿est à ces questions que répond cet ouvrage, en s¿appuyant sur l¿exemple offert par Pline le Jeune, qui écrivit sous le règne de Trajan, une période particulièrement brillante pour la civilisation romaine. Haut fonctionnaire, il fut chargé de résoudre bien des problèmes liés à la gestion de l¿eau au cours de sa carrière, en même temps qüil se délassait en jouissant de la présence de l¿eau, aussi bien dans la nature que dans ses splendides piscines et salles de bain.En analysant en profondeur les passages de son ¿uvre où l¿eau est mentionnée, que ce soit dans la description de paysages, rendus agréables grâce aux lacs et aux sources, dans la présentation d¿un Empire à échelle mondiale s¿appuyant sur la circulation sur eau des personnes et des marchandises, ou enfin dans l¿évocation souvent très précise de techniques venues de l¿hydraulique pour mettre l¿eau au service des besoins et des plaisirs des hommes, ce livre se propose d¿offrir à notre époque, pour laquelle l¿eau devient de plus en plus un enjeu géostratégique, un point de comparaison et une matière à réflexion sur les permanences et les changements depuis vingt siècles. Que peut nous apprendre un Romain des années 100 de notre ère sur les usages de l¿eau et ses représentations dans l¿imaginaire collectif¿ Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 190 pp. Französisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The main theme of this book revolves around the idea of Europeanization of the Western Balkans. In that respect, the volume discusses the fight against corruption and regional relations in former Yugoslav states, such as Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, and Serbia. The objective of the book is to detect the level of effectiveness of the EU impact on domestic structural changes in the Western Balkans regarding aforementioned research issues. The contributors argue that the EU impact in the Western Balkans has so far been limited and point to limitations in this regard.«The book Balkanizing Europeanisation offers timely, detailed, critical and excellently researched insight into the complicated mutual relations of the EU and the countries of the Balkan Peninsula. Based on excellent scholarship, meticulous original research and first-hand experience with the Balkan area, the authors provide a reader with rich and profound analysis of successes and failures of Europeanisation of the Balkan countries. The volume shall become an obligatory reading for many categories of scholars, experts, and people practicing diplomacy with and in the region.»Vít Hloüek, Professor of European Politics, Masaryk University«The limits to and problems connected with processes of Europeanization in the Western Balkans remain an important topic both for policy-makers and for scholarly inquiry. Vükovi¿ and ¿or¿evi¿ are to be congratulated for having assembled a first-rate teach of scholars to examine the most vital issues at hand.»Sabrina P. Ramet, Professor of Political Science, The Norwegian University of Science & Technology 204 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Over the past four decades, higher education privatization became a common policy choice for higher education reforms in most emerging systems due to lack in public resources. In Kuwait however, similar financial pressures did not exist. Influenced by the 'glonacal agency heuristic,' the author investigates the processes of its policy production. Following a comparative qualitative approach, the book concludes that privatization is not a necessary outcome of globalization, but that the production of higher education privatization policies in Kuwait has involved a complex interplay of both local and global factors, with contextual realities playing a crucial role not only in the introduction of these policies but also in defining the form of privatization that is currently being implemented. 280 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -What if the human species were to get in touch with another intelligent species, thus far unknown This question is the impetus for a vast, exciting catalogue of science fiction and fantasy stories. They serve as hypothetical answers in narrative form but can also be regarded as cognitive exercises by which we investigate the nature and destiny of humanity. In other words, any creature and any story produced in response to this question requires an assessment of our notion of the human and a redefinition of our position and role in the world.This volume aims at mapping and analysing the very rich catalogue of non-human figures which inhabit our contemporary imagery, with particular regard to science fiction literature and film. It is suggested that monsters, clones, zombies, aliens, artificial beings, cyborgs and mutants can function as ideological tools intended to confirm the role of humankind (and Western civilization) as the only possible standard of intelligent and ethical life. But they can also become cognitive instruments devised to question or criticize our vision of and behaviour toward the world, other species and ourselves. This privileged critical perspective ¿ and the point of arrival of the book ¿ is the category of the posthuman, which is regarded as the symbol of a possibly revolutionary vision of humanity, a wish and an invitation to embrace a new, more humble way of being and living.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 258 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This volume sets out to investigate queer literature and cinema, exploring in particular the intersection of issues of gender and Lusophone culture.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The social and technological developments, social movements, scientific discoveries, economic growth or diseconomies give rise to many problems for human beings. Many disciplines such as economics, political science, architecture, sociology and psychology discuss these problems and offer solutions from different perspectives. Philosophy has its own way of dealing with these problems. As opposed to the common belief, philosophy does not only deal with ideals independently of what is going on in real life. The problems of the contemporary philosophy are also the problems of the contemporary world. For this reason, this book aims to present and discuss certain philosophical problems in the contemporary world and to suggest solutions to them. 246 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Souvent définis comme des productions complexes, à la fois langagières et socialement situées, les discours ont fait l¿objet de nombreuses études et courants de recherche. Cependant, malgré cette complexité inhérente, la théorie et l¿analyse de discours n¿ont jamais été abordées sous l¿angle de la systémique et de ses nombreuses possibilités conceptuelles et méthodologiques. En abordant de manière critique et épistémologique plusieurs approches de théorisation du discours et d¿analyse du discours, en croisant références francophones et anglophones, cet ouvrage s¿efforce de tisser une théorie systémique du discours qui implique elle-même une analyse du même acabit. En appuyant ce travail sur des exemples de travaux appliqués à des corpus numériques, l¿auteur explore également la manière dont théorie et analyse systémiques du discours sont à même de pouvoir explorer la mécanique des discriminations et leurs implications du point de vue de l¿organisation politique des sociétés. En replaçant le discours comme écosystème, ce volume propose une approche qui s¿efforce de marier lexicométrie, sémantique argumentative, approche pragmatique et finalité sociolinguistique.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 300 pp. Französisch.
