Neuware -In the last five years, Web 2.0 applications ¿ vast virtual worlds, multiplayer online games, social networking, and file sharing among them ¿ have inspired new notions of what it might mean to be literate in the twenty-first century. While previous scholarship on Web 2.0 has focused on its social and recreational uses, this book explores its ability to enrich and transform the educational experience of children and young people. It discusses the opportunities and risks presented by this large-scale shift in popular engagement with new media, and uses illustrative vignettes to document the work of innovative educators who construct new ways of thinking and being around Web 2.0.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 160 pp. Englisch.

Add to basketTaschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Provincializing the Worldly Citizen examines travel to Czechoslovakia by Yugoslav educators and students in the 1920s and 1930s in the context of educational modernization and national identity formation. It argues that «Slavic Cosmopolitanism» was an important element in educating the Yugoslav child and in the development of schooling practices in Yugoslavia. The book examines how notions of «Slavicness» circulated and were related to visions of the ideal Yugoslav, linking together these two concerns ¿ not merely to cross-fertilize Slavic studies, the history of education, and the field of comparative education but as part of an effort to develop new intellectual strategies for transnational, cross-cultural scholarship. To this end, it examines Yugoslav student and teacher travel as an entry point to analyzing the regulative ideals that were inscribed in the Yugoslav child as a future citizen. From the broadest perspective, the book offers ways of thinking about the functions of travel and schooling by exposing the fabricated categories of ethnicity and nation as they become worked into cultural and pedagogical ideals. In specific terms, it is an examination of how interwar Yugoslav schools produced worldly minded Yugoslavs ¿ not just through the official curriculum but across a wide range of cultural practices.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 180 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -This reader demands that we understand diversity and multiculturalism by identifying the ways in which curriculum has been written and taught, and by redefining the field with an equitable lens, freeing it from the dominant cultural curriculum. The book problematizes the issue of whiteness, for instance, as not being the opposite of blackness or «person-of-colorness», but rather a meta-description for our dominant culture. Issues are also addressed that are usually left out of the discussion about diversity and multiculturalism: this reader includes essays on physical diversity, geographic diversity, and difference in sexualities. This is the quintessential collection of work by critical scholars committed to redefining the conversation on multiculturalism and diversity. 510 pp. Englisch.

The conference was organised through collaboration between the Interdisciplinary Centre for Ethics at the European University Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder) and the Collegium Polonicum, a joint institution of the European University Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder) and the Adam Mickiewicz University Poznä. This volume collects the contributions to this conference. The problematics of liberalism affects ethicists and philosophers not only in Europe but also in Latin America and the Middle East. Scholars from these three regions met to discuss the role that the ethical aspect of liberal thought can play in the contemporary world. They also approached ethical liberalism from a historical perspective. Focusing on ethical liberalism¿s interconnectedness with politics, globalisation and culture, the conference participants not only elaborated on theoretical approaches, but also turned their attention to empirical case studies. This volume presents their thoughts and contributions which, although naturally fragmentary, are symptomatic of the present day and age. 160 pp. Englisch.

This book explores the great novelist¿s influence on contemporary Spanish writers. The links between the Golden Age tradition and contemporary writing are examined by leading academics in the field of the Spanish contemporary novel.The collection focuses on aspects of literary technique and metafiction, particularly the role of the narrator, the mixing of fictional and real characters, and self-reflection and literary criticism within the novel. These are all techniques that have recognisable Cervantine traits. Other parallels with Cervantes¿s writing are explored such as the portrayal of a hero with quixotic characteristics and the imitation of specific episodes from Cervantes¿s works.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 226 pp. Englisch, Spanisch.

Neuware -This volume is a collection of historical essays, describing and analyzing the link between Christian mission and education in modern China, Japan, and Korea. The authors come from China, Japan, Korea, Canada, the United States of America, and the Netherlands. The twelve essays are a selection from the papers given at the Sixth International Conference of the North East Asia Council of Studies of History of Christianity (NEACSHC), held in Seoul in 2007. The nine appendices of the volume offer basic information on both the previous conferences of this council and its constitution. After three Western essays, mainly dealing with the impact of Western educational mission on Asia and the secularization of Christian higher education, the volume offers four essays on China, two essays on Japan, and three essays on Korea. These Asian contributions do not only deal with pre-World War Two developments, but also with current affairs: they discuss the moral superiority feelings in mission schools before the war, the link between Christian and nationalistic education during the war, and the new crises, new challenges, new relations, and new perspectives after the war. In modern Japan and Korea women play a key role. In modern China there is a move from ¿cultural imperialism¿ to ¿cultural exchange¿, which opens up entirely new horizons and prospects for Christian higher education. 200 pp. Englisch.

Add to basketTaschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Lewis Mumford¿s achievements as an architectural critic, literary critic and urbanist are well known. However, his contribution to the American studies movement and to cultural studies in general has almost been forgotten in recent years. By situating Mumford¿s work in its contemporary intellectual context and by considering some of its legacies for the study of ¿culture and civilization¿ ¿ especially in the nascent field of American studies ¿ this book considers Mumford as an ¿author¿, drawing out some of the expressive, political and methodological significance of this term. In an attempt to counter frequent arguments that Mumford¿s works are inconsistent, repetitive and derivative, the author argues that, taken as a whole, they demonstrate a consistent inter-disciplinary or trans-disciplinary critical project, and that Mumford¿s thought is comparable with that of Marx and Weber. The book traces this critical project through Mumford¿s works from the early twentieth century and also through his formal process of writing. The author aims to show that Mumford¿s project was neither provincial nor reactionary, as some have argued, but was instead a dynamic juxtaposition of past and present that enabled him to imagine a future where humans might fulfil their potential in a more perfectly republican, even utopian, urban space. 252 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -In a timely contribution to the international discussion of the post-Kyoto climate regime this study hypothesizes that Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects in the land use and forestry sector are an efficient instrument for climate change mitigation that contributes to rural development and poverty alleviation at the same time. To this end, the study analyzes socio-economic aspects of a forestry project established under the CDM rules considering an East African case study exemplarily. An agricultural household survey in Tanzania delivered the empirical data for the structural equation model at the center of the analysis. Looking at different farm assets it is shown that the benefits of land use-related climate projects go way beyond pure mitigation. They also have a positive impact on a very broad asset base on which poor farm households depend. Hence, the current CDM only allowing for afforestation and reforestation projects is far too restricted to deliver on its twin objective. 220 pp. Englisch.

Add to basketTaschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -The German pension system was the first formal pension system in the world, designed by Bismarck nearly 120 years ago. It has been very successful in providing high and reliable pension levels at reasonable contribution rates. While the generosity of the German pension system is considered a great social achievement, negative incentive effects of past reforms in the 1970s and 1980s and population aging are threatening the very core of the system. This has led to fundamental pension reforms since 1992. Based on a detailed simulation model of the German pension system, this book provides a thorough assessment of the system and its reforms. It shows that the latest reforms have put the system back onto a stable path and moved it from the old monolithic towards a multi-pillar system. 212 pp. Englisch.

Translation is manipulation! What does it mean How can it be Can it be trusted And what about its sister activity interpreting The book provides answers to all these questions and more.

The author investigates the roles and widely varying conceptions of the afterlife presented in early Christian martyrdom accounts and concludes that personal immortality is integral to the functioning of these texts, as the anticipated reward for a martyr¿s death. Accordingly, the very diverse conceptions of the afterlife presented in them are indicative of the frequently ignored theological diversity and experimental spirit prevalent in both early Christianity and late Second Temple Judaism. The discussion also incorporates a unique definition of martyrdom that recognizes the genealogical and developmental connections between Christian martyrdom and its antecedents.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 252 pp. Englisch.

They also contributed to much-needed legal and social change and set the stage for the female entrepreneurs who would come later. All this was accomplished despite immense financial barriers, an inequitable legal system, and the widely held belief that women had no business in business. Women¿s Concerns explores the lives of twelve women who owned and operated businesses in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

When you attend, you perceive. When you attend and perceive, you remember. When you attend, perceive, and remember, you learn. When you learn, you have the option of acting deliberately. Perceiving, thinking, learning, deciding, and acting require the constant adjustment of the attention system. The author proposes a model of the greater attention system as comprising three distinct but interdependent sub-systems: the signal system, the selection system, and the interpersonal system, with eight elements distributed among them: altering, orienting, detecting, sustaining, controlling, sharing, harmonizing, and directing. The chapters in this book develop an «attentional» analysis of meaning under the unifying framework of mental spaces theory. In addition, each chapter explores the implications of an attention based approach to meaning for research in semiotics, linguistics, and rhetoric.

Issues are also addressed that are usually left out of the discussion about diversity and multiculturalism: this reader includes essays on physical diversity, geographic diversity, and difference in sexualities. This is the quintessential collection of work by critical scholars committed to redefining the conversation on multiculturalism and diversity.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 510 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Au regard des violences qui caractérisent notre monde actuel, est-il vraiment logique de nos jours de parler de la « théologie de la colère du Dieu d¿amour » comme la Bible nous le présente sans risque de tomber dans le terrorisme religieux Deux réponses explicitent à ce sujet toute la démarche de notre travail basé sur la théologie de la croix de Hans Urs von Balthasar. A la lumière de cette démarche, nous répondons premièrement par non à la question principale : Non lorsqüil s¿agit de parler de l¿être ou de l¿immanence de Dieu (dissimilitudo), car l¿être de Dieu est amour et non colère. Nous répondons cependant aussi par oui dans le cadre précis de l¿économie de Dieu dans l¿histoire de sa rencontre permanente avec sa création (similitudo), car en créant le monde et en se faisant homme jusqüà la croix, Dieu a choisi de vivre et d¿agir comme l¿homme (similitudo) mais tout en ne se substituant pas en homme (dissimilitudo), afin d¿acheminer ce dernier au salut à travers son fils Jésus Christ. Notre réponse à la question de la « théologie de la colère de Dieu » est donc « historico-théologique », « méta-anthropologique ». 376 pp. Französisch.

Neuware -Die Darstellung der Begegnungen der ostsyrischen Christen («Nestorianer») im ehemaligen Perserreich mit dem frühen Islam ist für die heutige Auseinandersetzung von Christentum und Islam von größter Relevanz. Sowohl die Theologie und Gelehrsamkeit der Nestorianer werden in diesem Buch behandelt, als auch ihre erfolgreiche Mission unter den benachbarten arabischen Stämmen. Weiter wird die Entwicklung der ostsyrischen Kirche nach dem Siegeszug der Araber herausgearbeitet. Nachdem diese Bagdad im Jahre 762 zu ihrer Hauptstadt gemacht hatten, nahmen die Kontakte zu, weil die Nestorianer hier die christliche Mehrheit bildeten. Die Rekonstruktion dieser Wechselwirkungen zwischen den gelehrten Nestorianern und den neuen arabischen Herrschern, des Sinns und Zwecks ihrer Religionsgespräche und der Rolle der christlichen Araber könnte gerade heute hilfreich sein, die eigene Tradition und die der Nachbarn in einer neuen Perspektive zu sehen. 96 pp. Deutsch.
