Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Shi'i Law and Leadership analyzes the influence of the nineteenth century scholar and head of the international Shi'i community, Mortaza Ansari. Although ethnically Persian, Ansari lived most of his life in the Shi'i center of learning in Najaf, Iraq. Ansari's major contribution to Shi i jurisprudence was his redefinition of essential legal terms. Additionally, he advanced a theory that made emulation of a living cleric a religious duty for all lay Shi'is. Ansari became the first sole supreme exemplar (marja' at-taqlid) for the international Shi'i community. He spent his tenure as the head of the community training students, writing, extending his network of scholars, and collecting and distributing charitable donations. Ansari's successors used the power of a more unified Shi'i community largely for political activism, which was a departure from the practices of Ansari himself. Ansari's immediate successor successfully challenged the Qajar Persian government in the Tobacco Revolt in 1890, which emboldened future clerics to take on the powers of the state in the 1905 Constitutional Revolution and the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran. 92 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This work examines Buber's philosphy, specifically as it pertains to psychology and psychotherapy. The importance and relevance of Buber's theory and constructs in the psychotherapeutic process and relationship are highlighted. Psychological theories and therapists closely aligned to or influenced by Buber are also explored. Particular attention is given to Intersubjectivity Theory, which has striking congruence and similarity with Buber's philosophy. Thereafter, the focus shifts to the area of Trauma. Different models of understanding and conceptualising Trauma are presented. It is demonstrated how applying a Buberian understanding of the experience of Trauma can shed light on the impact of Trauma on a sufferer's life. The aim of the study is to understand the impact of Trauma on interpersonal relationships and one's capacity for engaging in an I-Thou mode, and to determine components of psychotherapy found to be most helpful in the recovery process. A qualitative research design is employed and five participants who have experienced a Trauma of some kind are interviewed and their experiences analysed with thematic analysis. Ethical considerations and limitations are included. 96 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book re-examines the notion of Schubert s instrumental lyricism and explores its aesthetic and technical links with the discursive strategies of idealist lyric poetry. While Schubert s lyricism is most often associated with cantabile style, it is also implicit in the composer s paratactic approach to form and in his tendency to emphasize the materiality of musical gestures through unprepared chromaticism or sudden changes of texture. Such unorthodox instrumental designs are further considered with reference to two idealist views of musical form, A. B. Marx s Formenlehre and Schenker s brief discussion of form in Free Composition. Schubert s departures from sonata norms are, at the same time, manifestations of structural patterns typical of the Liedsatz and forms derived from combinations of Liedsätze, such as the theme and variation. His incorporation of these patterns within the context of the sonata evokes the lyric as both an Arcadian ideal and as a means of critical engagement with convention. This study reaffirms the centrality of the poetic imagination for Schubert through an interdisciplinary approach that combines the literary and the musical. 204 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -A heuristic matrix is proposed regarding the argumentative strategies deployed in advertisements published in the written media. In order to account for the argumentative strategies used in the data selected, some analytical constructs and principles from such related fields as semiotics, discourse analysis (namely, argumentative discourse), pragmatics, cognitive linguistics (namely, metaphor analysis) and logic will be examined and assessed as to their relevance for the purpose of this study. Most of the argumentative structures in the texts selected are implicit and must therefore be inferred by the reader on the basis of the elements that play some crucial roles in constructing logical implications supported, mainly, by social beliefs. The present study aims at expanding, principally, both the structure of the so-called macro speech act and the discoursal argumentative structure made manifest in the women s magazine advertisements selected for the study. The analysis is intended to be mainly descriptive, mainly from a linguistic, i.e. discoursal-textual, point of view. 112 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The present study focuses on new types of drawing in fine art, as investigated in relation to their interdisciplinary context. The main aim is to reconsider the conventional idea of the process of creation, that is, one that proceeds from a concept to a preparatory drawing and concludes in a finished work. This investigation involves the questioning of the traditional role of drawing and the status of a 'finished artwork'. The possibility that the stages of an artwork's completion are not successive and separated will be explored through the acknowledgement and understanding of their 'in-between workings'. These 'workings' show a wider 'network' of the co-ordinates that initially may be rejected as dead ends that lead to an entropic chaos. Exploring the key ideas of the Platonic 'chora' and the architect Peter Eisenman's 'interstitial space', this book presents how the 'in-between workings' encourage the evaluation and development of the initial ideas we intended to follow. Therefore, the existence of an 'interstitial space' does not signify indeterminacy, but reveals the creatively interwoven activities of intention and outcome as well as theory and practice and their interaction. 64 pp. Englisch.

These highly visible and frequently dramatic protests were instrumental in securing special treaty rights for Native Americans, and were also highly influential in altering public opinion of the Pacific Northwest tribes during this turbulent period. However, there were other groups involved in winning these important rights for the Pacific Northwest Native American tribes, including the NAACP and other civil rights organizations. This paper explores these associations and their impact on the outcome. 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Mikhail Bakhtin's paradigm of language and his theory of carnival open up the novels of Robert McLiam Wilson forcing readers to reconsider concepts such as identity and truth. Bakhtin's philosophy of the novel fits Wilson's texts particularly well due to Ireland's unique position during the late 1980s and throughout the 1990s. This period in time and space was enveloped in an extremely dense social heteroglossia. Laughter ties Wilson's seemingly disparate novels together and carnival allows readers to view these competing accounts of Belfast as compatible. Ripley Bogle (1989) uses metafiction as a tool to focus reader attention on possibility and to free us from the strict classifications we have been conditioned to accept as 'correct'. Eureka Street (1996) conveys the struggle between authoritative and internally persuasive discourse revealing what is, from what could be. Meaning is contextual and Wilson's strength lies in his ability to juxtapose conflicting narratives to illustrate how heteroglossia and carnival are continually reworking linguistic material to create new meanings. 68 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book investigates the value of peer assisted learning through interactive technologies for foreign language learners. It is a compilation of six research projects. Two of these took place in Higher Education with students learning English as a Second Language. The value of one-way peer tutoring through online instant communication was assessed. Findings showed that there was a great deal of social and academic benefit for international students. The remaining four projects linked Scottish schools with schools in Spain, France and Germany. The potential of reciprocal peer tutoring through online discussion boards was evaluated. In pairs, foreign language learners were expected to write messages on topics aligned to their respective curricula. They were also to provide feedback to each other. In performance in the foreign language statistically significant gains resulted. However, content analysis showed this did not develop in a linear fashion. Participants were overwhelmingly positive about their experiences. This method of computerised peer learning between countries has great potential, for both foreign language learning and cultural exchange. 348 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The purpose of this book is to examine the expectations of African American and Hispanic male students in a for-profit university (TTU). This case study specifically explores student perception of the retention efforts of faculty, staff, policies, procedures and services within the institutional environment. It further examined how these experiences promoted or impeded the African American or Hispanic male s persistence to graduation. The higher education institution is identified as TTU throughout this book. It is a commuter university established in the early 1900s. A qualitative case study approach was used and two campus sites were selected. Data collection included interviews of students, along with faculty (identified by students), as well as document analysis, and various on site observations at each campus. The data were then transcribed, coded, and analyzed to ascertain the overall views and perceptions of the students. The final chapter provides recommendations for retention efforts for minority male students and may be useful for most colleges and universities. 76 pp. Englisch.

A total of 133 female students with and without headcover at two Turkish universities participated in the study. The results of the study supported all of the predictions based on the assumptions of the ITT, except for the relationship between negative contact and prejudice. Those who perceived higher realistic and symbolic threats, had higher intergroup anxiety, stereotyped the outgroup more negatively, had higher in-group identification, perceived more status differences, and perceived more intergroup conflict were more prejudiced towards the out-group. Those who were in higher intergroup contact and were closer with members of the outgroup were less prejudiced. The study failed to find a significant relationship between negative contact and prejudice. 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The artwork, Postcard From Tunis, is an Integrationist exploration of writing and its transformation at the human computer interface. It is set in a personal portrait of Tunis, a city with a rich history of writing. The conventional view of real writing as representation of speech is shown to have serious limitations, which are addressed by Roy Harris s radical reconsideration of writing. This approach is based on the Integrationist theory of human communication as the contextualized integration of activities by means of signs. Postcard From Tunis offers users who are not Arabic-literate the perception that there are actually no fixed boundaries between writing and pictures, as both are based on spatial configurations, and it suggests that the question of what is writing will differ from person to person (and moment to moment), depending on the macrosocial, biomechanical and circumstantial aspects of the activities integrated. User interaction with Postcard, particularly rollover activity, creates a variety of dynamic signs that cannot be theorised by a bipartite theory of signs and that transcend a distinction between the verbal and the non-verbal altogether. 108 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The spirituality of reconciliation is an under- researched field in Northern Ireland, though many books have been written from other perspectives. Iva Beranek focuses mostly on God s promise of a new heart (Ezek 36:26) and its relevance for places like Belfast that carry 'a wounded heart'. The author provides a clear biblical basis for engaged spirituality in places of conflict, and shows that the Christian spiritual tradition is life-giving in challening situations. 'This book arises from an unshakeable conviction that from the long wounded history of Belfast a new story of hope is emerging. Through witnesses from different denominations Fr. Troy and Rev. Trevor Williams, from other voices of faith, and from the author herself is woven an inspirational spirituality of reconciliation, both heart-felt and poetic. True to the core of the Gospel, Iva Beranek discerns that from the long experience of fear, hatred and suffering, the city is awakening to a new story, giving birth to love and freedom'.

Denying the existence of ngozi would be comparable to burying one s head in the sand and ignoring reality. An effective pastoral engagement has to start from an acknowledgement of the existing challenging phenomenon and then seek a biblical perspective that defines the crises and prescribes a solution. In this publication, Timothy Myambo provides a descriptive analysis of the ngozi phenomenon. He engages a biblical evaluation of ngozi and proposes a pastoral response to the ngozi challenge. At the end of this publication he suggests areas that require further study on the subject matter. 96 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Evolutionary theory posits that contemporary gender differences originated in the successful adaptation to the different demands faced by men and women over time. The sexual division of labor in hunter-gather societies may have led to the evolution of sex differences in spatial and memory abilities, with males developing an affinity for tracking moving targets and females developing superior skills for remembering static objects. On the other hand, gender schema theory argues that because males and females are exposed to different socialization processes, they develop schemata consistent with their own gender that influence their behaviors, traits, and memories. This work tested children s and adults incidental and intentional memory for static and dynamic pictures. It juxtaposes two important theories to examine the origins of cognitive gender differences. This analysis should be useful for scientists and educators interested in the possible factors affecting different types of memory for gender-stereotyped information in children and adult. 116 pp. Englisch.

Following Reinhart and Siloni (2005) and Horvath and Siloni (2006), the various operations deriving the different verbal voices split into three types according to the locus of application: (a) universally in the lexicon (e.g., decausativization), (b) universally in the syntax (e.g., verbal passive formation), (c) parametric choice (e.g., reflexivization). The latter operations are argued to be subject to the recently proposed Lexicon-Syntax parameter (Reinhart & Siloni, 2005), according to which each language specifies whether arity operations apply in the syntax or in the lexicon in that language. Importantly, the parameter is applicable only if the grammar includes an active lexicon as a computational component. The present study examines the validity of the Lexicon-Syntax parameter. First, the hypothesis is tested from the angle of acquisition (L1 acquisition of reflexives). Second, the study presents a closer theoretical inspection of reflexive verbs. This book will be useful to students and researchers in syntax, semantics and psycholinguistics. 88 pp. Englisch.

As Matei Calinescu, Virgil Nemoianu and Mihai Spariosu create distinctive 'American' critical voices, their understanding of the aesthetic evolves into full- fledged theories of modernity, 'the secondary', and irenic, non-agonal mentality, thus contributing to the much-desired, post-1989 philosophical re- connection between the ex-communist and the free world. 120 pp. Englisch.
