Overview: Edmond Malinvaud This book provides a most welcome survey of what statisticians and economists know about an aspect of production that is difficult to precisely characterize but matters a lot for both its importance on economic performance and its social implications. That such a survey is timely cannot be overemphasized; the point is well argued in the introduction to the book, which shows how discussions of the last decades stressed the importance of capital operating time as an economic variable in a series of distinct but interrelated topics, from growth theory to employment poli

Overview: Eine soziologische StudieAndrea Hense entwickelt ein theoretisches Modell zur sozialen Erklärung subjektiver Ungleichheitswahrnehmungen, das eine theoriegeleitete Hypothesengenerierung anleitet und empirisch prüfbar ist. Ihr PFH-Modell kombiniert Lindenbergs Theorie sozialer Produktionsfunktionen mit Bourdieus Feld- und Habitustheorie und ergänzt ressourcenorientierte Ansätze mit einer relationalen und zeitlichen Analyseperspektive. Die Autorin wendet das Modell zur Analyse sozialer Einflussfaktoren selbst wahrgenommener Beschäftigungs- und Einkommensprekarität an und zeigt, wie es z

Overview: Outlines the approaches used for wastewater treatment using solar driven photocatalysis.Summarizes the latest information for the photocatalytic treatment of various types of pollutants.Gives fundamenIn the context of climate change and fossil fuel pollution, solar energy appears as a cheap and sustainable fuel for many environmental applications, yet the efficiency of techniques has to be improved. This book reviews recent methods and applications of photocatalysis for the treatment of wastewater containing bacteria, heavy metals, organic pollutants, dyes and tannery effluents. Basi

Overview: The first comprehensive study of the narrative and stylistic characteristics of all of Marguerite Duras‘ major works. Through close textual readings with a particular focus on women‘s access to language, this book shows how Duras critiques and subverts dominant discourse. Duras‘ textual strategies are described within a discussion of narrativity which also addresses factors of race and class. Cohen demonstrates how Duras achieves the famous ritual atmosphere of her prose through precise techniques which connect to her critique of representation.978-1-349-12928-7978-1-349-12926-3
