Overview: Renaissance Configurations is a ground-breaking collection of essays on the structures and strategies of Early Modern culture - as embodied in issues of gender, sexuality and politics - by a group of critics from the new generation of Early Modern specialists. The essays focus on the relations of public and private, of verbal and spatial, of textual and material, reading and re-reading texts, both canonical and non-canonical, with a textual and historical rigour often considered lacking in work with theoretical premises. The collection as a whole offers a clear sense of the direction

Overview: Critically engages students with learning exercises.Critically unpacks the global knife crime crisis, from authors with over a decade of experience.Draws on new empirical data on policing, popular nar.This critical textbook looks beyond the immediate data on knife crime to try and make sense of what is a global phenomenon. Yet it especially explores why the UK in particular has become so preoccupied by this form of interpersonal, often youthful, violence. The book explores knife crime in its global and historical context and examines crime patterns including the “second wave” of knif

Overview: Until 1948, Hebrew literature was created mostly under the rule of empires, notably those of ancient Mesopotamia, Rome, medieval Islam, and Tsarist Russia. Aberbach argues in this controversial book that several of the most original periods in the history of Hebrew coincided with - and resulted partly from - imperial crisis, involving violence against the Jews and radical shifts in Jewish demography and in the global balance of power. Jewish assimilation in the cultures of the empires was arrested, causing a psychological turn inward and the creation of revolutionary Hebrew literatur

Overview: Die Förderung des wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Zusammenhalts ist seit der Mitte der achtziger Jahre eines der wichtigsten Ziele auf dem Weg zu einem ökonomisch und politisch geeinten Europa. Dennoch führten die Maßnahmen bislang nur partiell zum Abbau regionaler Disparitäten.Anne-Sophie Tombeil untersucht mit Kalabrien in Italien und Valencia in Spanien zwei rückständige Regionen, die Beispiele für eine misslungene bzw. gelungene Regionalentwicklung sind. Die zentralen Dimensionen regionaler Entwicklungsprozesse (ökonomisches Umfeld, politisches System und zivilgesellschaftliche Kra

Overview: Fills a gap to explore the intersection of worldview and peace-building in the current South African context.Draws on qualitative research to provide an in-depth analysis of reconciliation in South Af.This book explores how competing worldviews impact on intergroup relations and building a sustainable peace in culturally diverse societies. It raises the question of what happens in a culturally diverse society when competing values and ways of interpreting reality collide and what this means for peace-building and the goal of reconciliation. Moreover, it provides a valuable and needed

Overview: Can reason play a significant role in making moral distinctions and in generating moral precepts? In this book I attempt to provide Hume‘s answers to these questions in the light of his employment of the ‘Experimen­ tal Method‘, his doctrine of perceptions, and his analysis of reason. In addition to this, attention is paid to some of Hume‘s rationalist predeces­ sors - most notably, Samuel Clarke and William Wollaston - in order to assess Hume‘s critique of the rationalists. Regarding the preparation of this book I wish to thank Professor Ronald J. Butler who introduced me to Hume‘s

Overview: The public‘s serious concern about the uncertainties and dangers of the conse­ quences of human activities on environmental quality demands policies to control the situation and to prevent its deterioration. But far-reaching decisions on the environmental policy are impaired or even made impossible as long as the relevant ecological relations are not sufficiently understood and large-scale quantitative information on the most important parameters is not available in sufficient quality and quantity. The techniques of remote sensing offer new ways of procuring data on natural phenomena

Overview: Publication in the field of technical sciences.Includes supplementary material: .Florian Neukart describes methods for interpreting signals in the human brain in combination with state of the art AI, allowing for the creation of artificial conscious entities (ACE). Key methods are to establish a symbiotic relationship between a biological brain, sensors, AI and quantum hard- and software, resulting in solutions for the continuous consciousness-problem as well as other state of the art problems. The research conducted by the author attracts considerable attention, as there is a deep u

Overview: The theory of rings of quotients has its origin in the work of (j). Ore and K. Asano on the construction of the total ring of fractions, in the 1930‘s and 40‘s. But the subject did not really develop until the end of the 1950‘s, when a number of important papers appeared (by R. E. Johnson, Y. Utumi, A. W. Goldie, P. Gabriel, J. Lambek, and others). Since then the progress has been rapid, and the subject has by now attained a stage of maturity, where it is possible to make a systematic account of it (which is the purpose of this book). The most immediate example of a ring of quotients

Overview: Romantic Writing and Pedestrian Travel is an exploration of the relationship between walking and writing. Robin Jarvis here reconstructs the scene of walking, both in Britain and on the Continent, in the 1790s, and analyses the mentality and motives of the early pedestrian traveller. He then discusses the impact of this cultural revolution on the creativity of major Romantic writers, focusing especially on William and Dorothy Wordsworth, Coleridge, Clare, Keats, Hazlitt and Hunt. In readings which engage current debates around literature and travel, landscape aesthetics, ecocriticism

Overview: Alice Landau investigates the confluence, magnitude and dynamics of globalization and regionalization, and highlights the integrative and disintegrative effects of both processes. She digs deep in to the processes and traces the inequalities embedded in their dynamics. The analysis is complemented by a detailed empirical investigation into the geographical distribution of trade, investments, capital and transnational corporations, which are cumulatively concentrated in a few highly developed and developing countries, thus limiting the development prospects for the majority of develop

Overview: This volume on the proceedings of a symposium on Resource Allocation and Division of Space represents a revised interest in the old problem of allocation and a fresh attack on the increasingly vital problem of space management. The symposium was held at the Toba International Hotel, near Nagoya, Japan in December, 1975. Although the contributions included in this volume are all broadly concerned with either resource allocation or spatial problems, the editors have selected papers essentially on the basis of scientific merits and orginality rather than on the basis of narrowly focused
