Overview: Tackles integral aspects of the US-Israeli-Palestinian dynamic, a popular and much debated topic in Political Science.Analyses contentious subject matter of the Pro-Israel Lobby in the United States a.This book seeks to debunk the popular myth of an all-powerful pro-Israel lobby.

Kiely argues tha

Overview: Das Wort „Klimakatastrophe“ wurde von der Gesellschaft für deutsche Sprache (GfdS) als Wort des Jahres 2007 gekürt. In keinem Jahr zuvor hat das Thema Klimawandel die Berichterstattung in den Medien so dominiert wie 2007. Die wissenschaftlichen Befunde für den anthropogenen Klimawandel wurden durch den 4. Sachstandsbericht des Weltklimarats (IPCC) noch eindeutiger. Eine neue Qualität erhielt die Klimadiskussion dadurch, dass die Wirtschaftswissenschaften das Thema zunehmend aufgegriffen haben. Ein wesentlicher Meilenstein zu einer ökonomischen Sicht des Klimawandels war die Publikati

Overview: Publication in the field of social sciences.Includes supplementary material: .Jan Beermann addresses persistent research gaps in urban climate governance and North-South cooperation. He compares the form, processes and outcomes of four local climate protection projects conducted as part of German-Indian urban cooperation and explores the conditions associated with the success and/or failure in these initiatives. The study concludes that North-South city partnerships struggle to fully realise their potential to foster global climate protection efforts, specifically in terms of post-pr

Overview: Veränderung effektiv steuernDer Veränderungsdruck in Unternehmen steigt in rasantem Tempo. Damit wandelt sich auch die Unternehmenskultur. Nicht selten steht das Selbstverständnis einer Organisation und deren Beschäftigten in diesem Prozess grundsätzlich infrage. Das betrifft in besonderem Maße die Führungskräfte. Denn sie müssen den Wandel vorleben und ihren Mitarbeitern glaubwürdig vermitteln, oft genug gegen hartnäckigen Widerstand. Wie lässt sich der Kulturwandel sicher gestalten? Was muss in den verschiedenen Phasen besonders beachtet werden? Die Autoren erschließen diese Fragen

Overview: Control systems particularly designed to manage uncertainties are called robust control system. Choosing appropriate design methods, the influence of uncertainties on the closed-loop behaviour can be reduced to a large extent.Most of the important areas of robust control are covered. The aim of the book is to provide an introduction to the theory and methods of robust control system design, to present a coherent body of knowledge, to clarify and unify presentation of significant derivations and proofs. The book contains a thorough treatment of important material of uncertainties and

This practitioner’s guide lays down those foundational components, with real client examples and pitfalls to avoid...A plethora of cybersecurity management resources are available—many with sound advice, management approaches, and technical solutions—but few with one

Overview: The central controversy running through this book is whether Mrs Thatcher‘s famous ‘green‘ speeches of 1988 marked a fundamental shift by the Conservative Government towards environmentalism, or whether they were merely political rhetoric, designed to rule out a temporary surge of popular support for the Green Party. The conclusion arrived at is mixed: in some policy areas a definite shift has occurred, but in others it is ‘business as usual‘. An overall change of gear is still awaited.978-0-333-62121-9978-1-349-24237-5

Overview: .Diese Arbeit untersucht aus Sicht von Bewohner*innen in Tübingen, wie Geflüchtete wahrgenommen und in räumlichen Kontexten verortet werden. Zunächst erfolgt eine Verortung des Themas Fluchtmigration im Kontext der Globalisierung und sich daraus ergebenden Auswirkungen auf lokale Raumvorstellungen. Im Anschluss erfolgt eine Darstellung und Bestimmung zentraler Begrifflichkeiten und von Diskursen des deutschen Migrations- und Integrationsdispositivs. Dabei wird auf die Bedeutung von Quartieren als Orte der Aushandlung von Integration eingegangen. Ergänzend werden verschiedene wissensc

Overview: I have three reasons for bringing out the ensuing collection of essays. First, since analysis without measurement (this is generally not the same thing as what is commonly referred to as "qualitative methods" or "qualitative research" in the social science literature) is a relatively new scholarly endeavor, I am striving to enhance its visibility by attracting a wider audience than what would normally be possible with single, narrowly-focused essays published in scat­ tered journals. Second, several of these essays may, in the minds of potential readers, appear to have been published

Overview: Only available book specific to, and encompassing the whole of, urological malignancy.Includes supplementary material: .Our understanding of the scientific basis for urothelial malignancy has advanced significantly. Studies in prostate cancer, few and far between 20 years ago, have increased and the degree of Government intervention, both in Europe and America, to support work in this field has risen considerably. Interest too has grown from the pharmaceutical industry, and this has led to the development of new treatment options for all of the urological malignancies and real improv

Overview: Explores the problem of violence, an important but neglected topic of philosophical tradition.Increases knowledge about the role of morality in violence.Written by a leading expert in the fieldThis volume sets out to give a philosophical “applied” account of violence, engaged with both empirical and theoretical debates in other disciplines such as cognitive science, sociology, psychiatry, anthropology, political theory, evolutionary biology, and theology. The book’s primary thesis is that violence is inescapably intertwined with morality and typically enacted for “moral” reasons. To
