Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This biography of one of New Mexico's most distinguished citizens, J Paul Taylor (born 1920) recounts the life of the legislator, educator, community leader, and arts patron. J Paul Taylor was born to a pioneering New Mexico family. Taylor's mother, Margarita Romero y Lopez, was born in 1881 in Romeroville, near Las Vegas, New Mexico, to wealthy traders and merchants on the Santa Fe Trail who were instrumental in the development of Las Vegas as a commercial centre. Margarita and her husband Robert Taylor, settled in the Mesilla Valley near Las Cruces, where, in 1945, son J Paul and his bride Mary Daniels set up home. In 1947 the young couple relocated to Mesilla, where J Paul Taylor began his thirty-nine-year career in education. He was first elected to the New Mexico House of Representatives in 1986, a position he held until his retirement in 2004. In 1953 Taylor and his wife purchased the historic Barela-Reynolds property on the plaza in Old Mesilla, two miles from Las Cruces. The Taylor's home today is one of the great architecturally and historically significant properties in southern New Mexico, filled with a world-class collection of art from New Mexico, the Southwest, North and South America, Mexico, and Europe. On the National Register of Historic Properties, the property was dedicated a New Mexico State Monument in 2004. Ana Pacheco extensively interviewed Taylor and many of his family members while writing the story of Taylor's remarkable life in New Mexico. The book is illustrated with historical and family photographs as well as contemporary photographs of the Taylor Monument and art collections.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In the follow up to Darwin's Lost World, Martin Brasier book introduces the quest for the missing history of life and the cell. Through a series of journeys it emerges that the modern plant cell is one of the most deeply puzzling and unlikely steps in the whole history of life. Decoding this puzzle is a great adventure that has mainly taken place over the last half century. Brasier puts the big questions into context through lively descriptions of his explorations around the world, from the Caribbean Sea and the Egyptian pyramids, to the shores of the great lakes in Canada, andto the reefs and deserts of Australia. Covering the period from 1 to 2 billion years ago - a period he once dubbed 'the boring billion' - he demonstrates how it in fact involved great evolutionary potential with the formation of the complex (eukaryotic) cell. Without this cell there would be nothing on Earth today except bacteria, and the formation of this cell was a fundamental turning point in the history of life on Earth. Weaving together several threads, Brasier emphasises the importance of single-celled forms to marine ecosystems; symbiosis and coral reefs; and the architecture and beauty of single-celled Foraminifera and what they tell us about evolution. From a master storyteller comes a vivid description of the earliest biological forms and a set of fascinating tales of travels and research.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Declining memberships. Pastoral scandals. A fear of secularism and the New Atheism. Christians are worried about the church's future. Despite such despair, Jason Vickers believes the church also sits upon the cusp of renewal. Some emerging voices promise to lead the church out of decay but focus only upon its structure, while others encourage the Spirit's work to the exclusion of all else. Minding the Good Ground organizes the multitude of voices and proposes a new way forward - rooting these renewal movements in a robust historical theology. Moving beyond quick-fix solutions, this new theological vision grounds renewal in the good and life-giving work of the Holy Spirit.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Marie Stopes' work in the area of sexual health and contraception has left a lasting legacy, and she is widely acknowledged as one of the most significant figures of the twentieth century. Her Married Love: A New Contribution to the Solution of Sex Difficulties was first published in 1918, translated into thirteen languages and sold over a million copies. Stopes also ardently pursued her enthusiasm for literature throughout her life, writing novels, plays and poetry. Her novel Love's Creation, published in 1928, the year women obtained the vote, is a working through of the debates which she addressed both in her personal and public life: sexual relations, the relationship between the arts and sciences, the quest for female sexual fulfillment. Marie Stopes' campaigning on behalf of a more open attitude to women's sexuality, equality in marriage, and sexual health and contraception, and her opening of the first free birth control clinic in the British Empire in 1921, saw her at the centre of political controversy, not least in her battle with the Roman Catholic church. Love's Creation, republished here for the first time since 1928, offers fascinating insights into early twentieth-century women's writing, most notably Virginia Woolf's theories of female creativity / fulfilled female sexuality which is not under threat from motherhood; female economic and psychic freedom; and the social milieu of the time. It is an engaging and fast moving narrative with lively, well-drawn and unconventional characters. The novel poses important questions about women's choices and aspirations before, during and after marriage. Not surprisingly it also engages in still contemporary and vital debates about the relationship between the sciences and the arts, and theories of evolution.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This research is an instrumental investigation of a theory of rhythmical performance of poetry, originally propounded speculatively in the author's Perception-Oriented Theory of Metre (1977). 'Iambic pentameter' means that there is a verse unit consisting of an unstressed and a stressed syllable (in this order), and that the verse line consists of five such units. In the first 165 verse lines of Paradise Lost there are two such lines. The theory takes up one of the central issues in metrical studies: all criteria for metricality hitherto proposed have been violated by the greatest masters of musicality in English poetry. The question arises, how do we recognise two verse lines that are very different in their structures as instances of the same abstract pattern of, eg: iambic pentameter; and how do we distinguish a metrical from an unmetrical line. One great difference between this theory of metre and others concerns the status of deviation. Most theoreticians deploy a battery of tools to make deviant stress patterns conform with metric pattern. Only when all attempts fail do they speak of 'tension'. When they succeed, they blur the distinction between, for example, Milton's and Pope's metrical styles. Or else, they have formulated different rules of metricality for Shakespeare and Milton. This theory assumes that when the versification patterns and linguistic patterns conflict, they can be accommodated in a pattern of 'Rhythmical Performance' -- namely one in which the conflicting patterns are simultaneously perceptible. There are scales of mounting difficulties of mismatches, on which each poet (and each theorist) draws at different points the boundary of what is acceptable. Reuven Tsur's revised and expanded edition (original publication, Peter Lang, 1986) is essential reading for all scholars and students involved in versification and Cognitive Poetics.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -When State welfare proves to be a mere conduit rather than an absolute guarantee for children's rights. Sweden's sound social democratic welfare regime accounts for descent living and rights enjoyed by children. Not discounting the fact that children's rights in Sweden score highly to the extent that many rightly contend that Sweden is one of the best places to raise a child, the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child (2009), UNICEF and Save the Children have continued to urge Sweden to transpose the Convention into Swedish law acknowledging that Sweden adheres to a dualist system. The Government in response has reiterated that she does not see any need at present to transpose the Convention into Swedish law. But why bother with a country having such a strong welfare system But again wait a minute, why would a country be reluctant to consider the gaps in the 'Transformation' process vis-à-vis the benefits of 'Incorporation ' State sovereignty or something else Overall, State welfare is fundamental to championing children's rights but does not offer an absolute guarantee. If it did, concern for children's rights would be relegated to non-welfare states. Incidentally not! 128 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This study aimed to explore the possible relations between cultural attitudes, ethnic boundary markers and ethnic threat perception among Dutch native speakers. Analyses showed that the attitudes of Dutch informants towards their own language, norms and values were positive, whereas tradition and frequency of contact were less important to them. The importance of language and norms and values was also reflected in its positive relation with ethnic threat perception. Finally, the analyses showed that in addition to language, norms and values, morally supporting the host country during international events (i.e. sports or political events) is an important condition to the informants as well when considering whether an immigrant should be accepted as an integrated citizen. 64 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Real estate prices affect the wealth and mindset of all sections of society, from multibillionaire's to the unemployed. Residential real estate prices depend on a large number of demand and supply side factors. This book was written after a thorough qualitative analysis of all these factors affecting the residential property market, particularly in Hong Kong. To understand the impact that different demand and supply side variables have on property prices, an extensive Ordinary Least squares (OLS) regression was carried out, and the results are discussed in an uncomplicated manner. The results are not exclusive to Hong Kong, as the findings are suitable to understand real estate in other countries as well. This research has found new factors that were not considered in earlier studies and have a notable impact on property prices. Furthermore, the history and geographic peculiarities of real estate in Hong Kong have been comprehensively explained. While this study engages in many mathematical processes, special efforts have been made to ensure it is an enjoyable read and provides an overall understanding of the residential property market. 68 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Advertising has often been the axis of debates. Opponents associate it with unrestrained materialism and manipulation. These debates alert perception and accommodation to important issues but fail to include those who ultimately serve as the most important arbiter of ethical practices i.e. the consumer. The book is based upon the premise that different people have different levels of approvals or disapprovals towards the ethical issues in advertising subject to their judgments. Hence it provides a new yardstick for the measurement of ethicality in advertising and its effectiveness. The issues covered are misleading aspects of advertising in form of puffery, deception and unfairness, phenomenon of surrogate advertising and regulatory aspects of advertising,etc. An insight has also been provided towards the other ethical issues like vulgarity, subliminal perceptions, stereotypes, etc. The study provides an implication to the advertisers, who are in the business of making profits, and leaving a word of caution for them to re-evaluate their communication strategies to come out with a new equation of advertising maintaining the balance of professionalism and ethics. 352 pp. Englisch.…
