Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book explores Martin Luther's attitudes towards Jews and Judaism, considering his approach in the historical, religious, theological, and cultural context of late Middle Ages Europe. During his career, especially in the later stage, Luther made numerous venomous comments and wrote violently antisemitic tracts. Reflecting on these statements and writings, the book maintains that Luther's stance cannot be excused as a reaction to issues with family, health, or ageing or as an integral part of society's norms. The author argues that Luther's Judeophobia was rooted in a reading of the Old and New Testaments and in the Christian anti-Jewish tradition, education, and fundamental theological worldview on Jews and Judaism that he chose to escalate. Other factors discussed include Luther's fears of ongoing Jewish intellectual influence and 'Jewish magical power,' as well as his deep disappointment at the Jewish rejection of his newly reformed Church. Providing an invaluable perspective on Martin Luther's position, the book will be of interest to scholars of religion, theology, history, antisemitism, and Jewish-Christian relations. 108 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Velocity-based training (VBT) is a contemporary method of resistance training (RT) that has become popular among sport scientists and practitioners due to the proliferation of devices that allow accurate real-time monitoring of movement velocity during RT exercises. The main input of VBT is the lifting velocity of repetitions performed with maximal intent (i.e., executed as fast as possible). Barbell's velocity monitoring is known to have important applications for (I) enhancing training quality, (II) prescribing RT intensities and volumes, and (III) assessing day-to-day physical readiness and training-induced neuromuscular adaptations. Velocity Based Training looks to describe how movement velocity can be used as a supplement to or replacement for more traditional methods commonly used to prescribe RT and assess its effects on neuromuscular function This new volume thoroughly examines the scientific literature related to VBT. Consisting of 15 chapters that have been distributed in 5 sections covering the main topics of VBT. In each section the reader is presented with (I) the importance of the topic, (II) the investigations that have contributed to the development of the topic, (III) guidelines for applying the scientific knowledge in practice, and (IV) scientific gaps that need to be addressed for a more accurate implementation of VBT. The key audience for this book are academic researchers and postgraduate students interested in the field of strength training and conditioning. Practitioners or emerging practitioners in the field of sport and kinesiology could also benefit from this book as it provides research-based guidelines that facilitate the implementation of individualized VBT programs in real-world training settings. 280 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Many countries in the Middle East and North Africa continue to face major economic and political challenges, including volatile economic growth, low economic diversification, high unemployment levels, and, in some cases, pervasive authoritarian regimes. These economic and political challenges are interdependent, and reform is needed in both spheres if structural, long-lasting change is going to be achieved.This book combines the World Bank's concept of 'good governance' with other analytical tools of political economy - including rent-seeking theory, political settlements approach, the resource curse, and Dutch Disease - to explore how government institutions in the region affect economic reforms and vice versa. The book also examines the role of institutions and performance of governance on rent distribution, evaluating how governments manage their, sometimes-abundant natural resources. In some 'rentier states,' governments are clearly utilizing these resources for their own political ends even at the cost of negatively impacting economic growth, job creation, and social service provision. Economic growth is also constrained by low flows of both private and public investment toward productive sectors that need it. The book analyzes the differences between countries in the Middle East and North Africa in their economic and political structures to show how sustainable economic growth and a level of political democratization can be achieved through enhancing governance institutions.This book will be invaluable reading for researchers on the political economy of the Middle East and institutional economics. 352 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book examines the development of international law applicable to Transboundary Aquifers (TBAs) considering the Human Right to Water and Sanitation (HRWS). The purpose is to determine how International Water Law (IWL) and the HRWS can be harmonized in the context of TBAs. This is important given rules and instruments adopted to address this topic are relatively nascent, and the field itself is still in the process of developing regulatory frameworks. Taking the application of the HRWS to shared aquifers as a case study, the work discusses whether IWL and International Human Rights Law complement each other. The response to this question requires an analysis of the development of International Groundwater Law and its challenges, the evolution of the HRWS, the nature of transboundary groundwaters, and the interplay between these two fields. The author argues that IWL agreements should contain a provision related to the HRWS to ensure the protection of this right with a stipulation included in the nonbinding instrument that tackles shared groundwaters: the Draft Articles on the Law of Transboundary Aquifers adopted in 2008 through the United Nations General Assembly Resolution. The book will be of interest to international lawyers, water and human right experts, geologists, and anyone interested in water and human rights issues. 224 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book brings together international scholars to examine and share new approaches in the history of women's rescue and resistance during the Holocaust and the Armenian and Rwandan genocide.The activities of women during the Holocaust have often been forgotten, erased, misunderstood, or intentionally distorted. Jewish women and those of all faiths fought with dignity, compassion, and courage to save others from the murderous Nazi regime in many nations. Women played essential roles operating educational, cultural, humanitarian, and armed resistance initiatives, thereby preserving social customs, religious traditions, lives, and histories in defiance of oppression in the Holocaust and other genocides. There remain many untold, heroic stories of women challenging the Nazis with pen, pistol, or sabotage.With contributions from a collection of authors, some of whom are descendants of resistance leaders, the chapters focus on different kinds of activities which are considered as forms of resistance or Amidah: strengthening solidarity among themselves, creating open, but hidden spaces for cultural life, promoting religious or political activities, acting as leaders in networks of defiance, and transferring important information within the camp or to the outer world, among others. Discussing the efforts to respond with humanity to the inhumanity that these women confronted, this volume will open up avenues of inquiry that are critical in the face of rising antisemitism and authoritarian movements that threaten democracy and mutual respect.This volume will be of value to scholars and students interested in Second World War History, Women's and Gender History, Jewish Studies, and the history of the Holocaust. 336 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Models are used to explore possibilities across all scientific fields. Climate models simulate the potential future climatic conditions under various emissions scenarios, macroeconomic models investigate the implications of various fiscal and monetary policy initiatives, and infectious diseases models study the spread of viral diseases under a range of conditions. Such modeling approaches have not gone ignored by philosophers of science, but they have only recently started to explicitly address modeling the possible. So far, the discussion has been spread across a variety of more or less isolated pockets of debate in the philosophy of science. Modeling the Possible: Perspectives from Philosophy of Science draws together these studies, focusing specifically on how various modeling practices probe possibilities and justify claims concerning them.The volume is divided into three sections, plus an introductory chapter. The introductory chapter provides a state-of-the-art survey of the discussions of modeling possibilities within the philosophy of science, as well as an introduction to the book's main themes and individual papers. The three sections focus on different kinds of possibility concepts, possibility spaces, and how-possibly modeling in practical situations. The chapters contained in this volume address conceptual and theoretical issues while also presenting case studies from various scientific domains: physics, evolutionary and synthetic biology, network science, climate science, economics, and epidemiology.Essential reading for philosophers of science, epistemologists, and modelers in various scientific disciplines, Modeling the Possible is also suitable for anyone interested in model-based scientific inferences, their validity, and the policy conclusions derived from them. 296 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This volume establishes critical interpersonal and family communication pedagogy (CIFCP) as a distinct academic area of inquiry, highlighting the intersections of identity, power, culture, pedagogy, and interpersonal and family communication concepts, theories, and methods.This practical, theoretical, and aspirational collection by interpersonal and family communication (IPFC) scholars and teachers shines a spotlight on, through a diversity of methods, some of the ways that power both emanates within the classroom and informs intellectual instruction. Providing examples that connect critical theories and concepts with topics common in IPFC classrooms, such as conflict, relational tension, disclosure, listening, and family dynamics, the book illustrates how critical concepts can be uniquely addressed and unpacked in IPFC classrooms through a variety of assignments, teaching activities, and discussion prompts, and promotes and normalizes the ongoing reflexive practices of IPFC instructors.This book will interest academics and upper-level students working in the areas of Critical Methodology, Interpersonal Communication, Family Communication, and Relationship Science. 278 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book provides an innovative and policy-oriented analysis of gender stereotypes in advertising regulation from a socio-legal perspective.Examining the law and policy of the European Union and three case studies in Sweden, Spain and the UK, the book draws on interviews, focus group data and desk research to critically assess the legislation and regulation on the use of gender stereotypes in advertising. Its focus is on the largely neglected question of the EU's competence in the area of gender. And to assess this, the book considers various forms of 'good practice' through legislation, regulation and policy. It also explores the proscribing of gender stereotypes in advertising through 'soft law' measures such as self-regulation at state level, and action programmes and roadmaps at EU level. Finally, it critiques the lack of progress in achieving a unified code on the regulation of gender stereotypes whilst imagining what such a code might look like.The book will appeal to academics with research and teaching interests in EU law, gender equality and comparative law, as well as academics and practitioners involved with media and advertising regulation, anti-discrimination law and freedom of expression. 174 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book investigates the radical transformation of the relationship between Germany and France, neighbors whose border constituted one of the deepest fault lines of European history.For generations, the French and the Germans believed they were 'eternal enemies,' and this myth of primordial hatred was the lens through which they interpreted each other's every move. Yet today, a Franco-German war is unimaginable. Passman locates the reshaping of the French-German dynamic in the civic organizations that made the very notion of cooperation credible. After World War I, and in the decades to follow, Franco-German associations kept calling for an end to their animus. Through journals, cultural exchanges, events, and charitable ventures, activists opened up the possibility of imagining friendship with the enemy. The pursuit of French-German cooperation did not begin with politicians after World War II. It took flight in the 1920s and persisted through decades of turmoil. In anchoring the history of collaboration in a longer arc of French-German cooperation, Passman illuminates how entangled were the histories of 1920s rapprochement, Nazi-era collaborationism, and postwar reconciliation.This volume will appeal to scholars, students, and general readers interested in the histories of modern France and modern Germany, European integration, and peace studies. 326 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -The successful entry and survival of multinational enterprises (MNEs) in foreign markets largely depend on how governments and other stakeholders perceive their legitimacy. How do emerging market MNEs legitimise their operations in distant markets What legitimacy threats must they overcome This book explores these questions by examining MNEs from three BRIC economies (Brazil, India, China) and Poland, the largest economy in Central and Eastern Europe, as they enter Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). We compare how these firms establish legitimacy in SSA, exploring both similarities (i.e. general patterns of legitimacy-building) and differences, often rooted in the interplay between the historical and developmental trajectories of their home and host countries.The uniqueness of this book lies in three key aspects. Firstly, it is the first to explore emerging market multinationals entering Africa through the lens of legitimacy-building. Secondly, it analyses the behaviour of corporations from four emerging markets, highlighting both commonalities and divergences in their legitimacy challenges and strategies. Thirdly, its concise format and balance between theory and practice make it particularly useful to a broad range of audiences, including scholars, students, and practitioners, especially entrepreneurs and managers aiming for success in Africa's fast-growing markets.By blending theory with practical insights, the book is valuable for scholars, students, and practitioners in International Business (IB) and Strategy, providing actionable knowledge for entrepreneurs and managers aiming to thrive in the dynamic African markets. 128 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Psychoanalysis and the Feminine presents Jacqueline Schaeffer's understanding of the feminine as a psychoanalytic concept.Schaeffer considers the difference between the sexes to be the paradigm of all differences, and the basis for the repudiation of the feminine and gender theories, those that destitute or invalidate psychic bisexuality. In addition, the author proposes a number of oppositions: a feminine, constructed in relation to the masculine, which differentiates itself from the person of the woman, and also from femininity. A feminine that distinguishes itself from the phallic, which denies its existence, hates it or wants to dominate it. A feminine that is antagonistic to but not cleaved from the maternal, with which it can be harmoniously reconciled. A feminine that carries the risk of suffering, but also the chance of a destiny of openness and growth.Psychoanalysis and the Feminine: An Other Sex will be key reading for psychoanalysts in practice and in training, and for students of psychoanalytic studies, gender studies and feminist philosophy. 92 pp. Englisch.…

Neuware -Analyzing media coverage in cases where cultural heritage sites have been destroyed during conflict, occupation, and war, this book highlights the important role media play in the preservation of cultural heritage when states or other combatants engage in human rights violations.Author Mischa Geracoulis discusses how the role of journalism and the media during times of conflict is to report information from the front lines and war zones with integrity, and report accurately when states or other combatants engage in human rights violations. This book examines the media coverage, language, and discourse surrounding two key situations-the destruction of Armenian cultural heritage in Artsakh/NagornöKarabakh and that of Palestinian cultural heritage in Gaza-and explores the ways media coverage has succeeded or failed in accurately illustrating the destruction of cultural heritage as a human rights violation. Geracoulis emphasizes the importance of factual, ethical reporting and sufficient coverage, underlining professional journalistic standards and best practices for the future to ensure similar destruction is not only understood but responded to within a human rights framework.This book will be of interest to students and scholars of media, journalism, and cultural studies, as well as media professionals interested in the role and influence of media framing and narratives on war, conflict, human rights, and humanitarian response. 146 pp. Englisch.…

Neuware -This book assesses local civil society responses to conflict, militarism, climate change, and disease in the global south.Grounded in empirical analyses of civil society developments in Sub-Saharan African countries, Jordan, Lebanon, Yemen, Palestine, and Syria, the book demonstrates that civil society organisations in unstable circumstances and divided societies have room and power to help and influence their societies and to become engaged in supporting active participation in society to help communities to endure uncertainty.

Neuware -This is the final volume in a four-book miniseries dealing with disruption in audit and financial reporting, this last book focusing on the importance of developing the purpose and concept of auditing in a holistic rather than piecemeal way, whilst reflecting on the case for audit reform.It looks beyond current events and explores possible new entrants to the market, the role of regulation versus professionalism, developing a more prominent and reinvigorated auditing profession and how to meet wider stakeholder needs.

Neuware -Nation Branding in the Americas: Contested Politics and Identities provides an overview of nation branding in the Americas, an often neglected continent(s) in debates about the creation, dissemination and management of national images.Drawing on insights from promotional cultures, nationalism, geopolitics, media and communication, as well as their own research, the authors look at national promotion experiences in twelve countries - Canada, the United States, Mexico, Costa Rica, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina and Chile - , examining how these cases relate to broader challenges and commonalities, such as the relationship between nation branding and stereotypes, invisibility, heritage or internal contradictions.

It will also appeal to professionals in public diplomacy, strategic communication, public relations, and branding, offering a broad overview to the practice and discussion of national promotion in an increasingly contested and cacophonic global communication environment. 114 pp. Englisch.…
