brosch. Zustand: Befriedigend. XIX, 180 S., graph. Darst., 21 cm This study addresses journalism's task to support development of a Third World country's society. In Tanzania the government and as yet single political party allowed appear to be cautiously surrendering their monopolistic control of the media and the question what kind of journalism the country needs is being raised increasingly. Tanzanian journalists are more and more outspokenly claiming the right to be watchdogs on the public's behalf. How they process information to present to the predominantly rural public depends decisively on how they perceive their professional role. That self-perception is influenced by social and organisational factors. Just what these factors are and to what degree they allow 'development journalism' to unfold in Tanzania was the central research approach of this study. / Lese- und Lagerspuren.

The 11th conference of the European Federation of National Institutions for Language (EFNIL) dealt with the importance of these two significant communicative techniques for mutual understanding within multilingual Europe. The articles by official representatives of the different European institutions inform about the facts of day-to-day interpretation and translation in Brussels, Luxembourg and Strasbourg. Experts discuss translation and interpretation under various general aspects including a historical perspective. Reports on the training and activities of interpreters and translators in several European countries follow. A discussion of the demands and suggestions for translation and interpretation in Europe concludes the thematic part of the book. - Contents: a) Opening -- Jolanta Zabarskaite (Institute of the Lithuanian Language): Welcome address -- Marco Benedetti (Director General of Interpretation, European Commission): Intervention à la Conference annuelle de l'EFNIL -- Rytis Martikonis (Director General of Translatio): Opening address -- Jan Truszczynski (Director General of Education and Culture, European Commission): Translation and Interpretation in Europe: Reflections from the angle of education and culture -- Gintaras Morkünas (Directorate General of Interpretation and Conferences of the European Parliament): Welcome address -- Gerhard Stickel (EFNIL): Introduction/Einführung/Jzanga -- b) General reflections and views -- Klaus Reichert (University of Frankfurt a.M.): 'Lost and Found in Translation -- Georgios Floros (University of Cyprus): 'Lost' and 'found' in Translation: Myths and realities for national languages and imageries -- Marie Corntt (Centre d'Etudes sur la Cooperation Juridique Internationale): Traduction du droit et droit de la traduction, les enjeux europeens -- Antonina Werthmann/Andreas Witt (Institut für Deutsche Sprache, Germany): Maschinelle Übersetzung - Gegenwart und Perspektiven -- Johan Van Hoorde (Nederlandse Taalunie): Co-ordination of institutional terminology between European institutions and national Member States: the Dutch language example and the European perspective -- c) Reports on different countries and languages -- Sten Palmgren (Finnish Ministry of Justice): Translation of laws and public texts -- Gunnhildur Stefansdottir (Icelandic Ministry for Foreign Affairs): Translator training in the Translation Centre of the Icelandic Ministry for Foreign Affairs.

Softcover. Zustand: Sehr gut. 151 pp., 3 fig., 1 table A good and clean copy. - Summary: This book aims at enabling teachers to generate innovative materials tailor-made for specific groups of learners. The suggestions for materials design in this book will help teachers to meet the needs of advanced learners, to move from correct sentences to communicatively effective texts, to de-fossilize ingrained erroneous language, to apply theoretical understandings of communicative processes to language use and to become aware of their own language needs and the learning options open to them. This is a book that is not only firmly grounded in state-of-the-art linguistic theory in particular, the findings of cognitive linguistics but it is, above all, the result of decades of collaborative English language teaching experience at tertiary level. All the design ideas have been put into practice in the classroom and have successfully passed the test of use. ISBN 9783631582886 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 205.…

Hardcover, 22 cm. Zustand: Sehr gut. 112 pp. A perfect copy. - With the end of the East-West conflict in 1990, an entirely new constellation seemed to emerge for the first time in the history of mankind. This was perceived by the power elite in the USA as a useful challenge to lend its until then territorially restricted hegemony a global dimension. From the perspective of the US elites (Francis Fukuyama), a period of indefinite American control over the rest of the world, in which there would be no more scope for potential rivals to emerge, would characterize the end of history. But some years later, the USA had to accept that the dual hegemony it had built up together with the Soviet Union was fundamental to the continued existence of American hegemony. Its inability to sustain a global hegemony revealed itself in the severe setbacks it suffered in the three wars waged in Iraq, Afghanistan and against the so-called international terrorists. Undeterred by the USAs imminent isolation, influential US experts insisted that US policies were still in line with the US general perception of its role in the world: firstly to work for the good of the world and, secondly, to exercise its military might even when the rest of the world opposed it. Ignored for a long time by these very experts were the emergence of the interregional Asian triangle (China, India, Russia), Europes reorientation and, in consequence, the USAs relegation as a hegemonic power.

Diese Frage stand 2009 im Mittelpunkt der Workshop-Tagung «Building Cultures of Peace» an der Universität Hamburg. Drei bekannte Experten der Friedens- und Konfliktarbeit Jay Rothman und Vamik Volkan aus den USA sowie Sami Adwan aus Palästina gaben in Intensiv-Workshops Einblicke in die Theorie und Praxis ihrer Arbeit. 100 Teilnehmer/-innen nutzten die Veranstaltung, um ihre Kenntnisse und ihr Verständnis der Entwicklung und Bewältigung ethno-politischer Konflikte zu erweitern. Dieses zweiteilige Buch dokumentiert den Ertrag der Veranstaltung: die Vorträge der Experten sowie zahlreiche Essays der Teilnehmenden in englischer und deutscher Sprache. Die beiden Buchteile enthalten verschiedene Themen. Es lohnt sich daher, in beiden zu blättern.

Softcover. Zustand: Sehr gut. XVII, 255 pp., num. ill. A good copy. - In 1994, the world joined South Africa in celebration of the results of its first democratic election. The results, emblazoned on the worlds memory with President Nelson Mandela waving to a multiracial crowd, signified the end of apartheid and an emerging new era of hope. However, Mandelas recent death has given birth to a more critical view of his «Rainbow Nation.» No matter how examined, education in South Africa remains steadfastly unequal, with many White children retaining the educational privileges inherent to apartheid. White children in South Africa overwhelmingly attend wealthy, fully resourced schools, while the vast majority of Black and Coloured children attend woefully underresourced schools. Based upon three sets of studies in schools in and around Cape Town, Whiteness Is the New South Africa highlights drastic racial disparities, suggesting that educational apartheid continues unabated, potentially fostering future generations of impoverished Black and Coloured communities. This book suggests that South Africa remains committed to stifling the intellectual, emotional, and economic development of Black and Coloured youth, while simultaneously investing in White children. - Contents: Introduction -- Chapter 1.

Hardcover, 22 cm. Zustand: Sehr gut. 134 pp., 15 tables, 20 graphs. A perfect copy. - Translating audio description scripts from foreign into source language seems to be a tempting alternative strategy of creating audio description scripts in those countries where audio description is still scarce. This book presents the results of a three-stage study. This study was conducted to test whether the translation of audio description scripts written by experienced British audio describers into Polish is a solution that is less time and money consuming. Besides it was analysed whether the scripts created through the application of the translation strategy preserve the quality that satisfies the target recipients. The obtained results prove that translation of audio description scripts is not only possible, but also beneficial when it comes to time consumption, costs and quality of audio description. - Contents: Introduction -- I.

It describes what is happening to these children and young refugees in terms of their schooling. Investigating the perspectives of children, their parents, teachers, community leaders, and state politicians and bureaucrats on the schooling provisions and educational opportunities for refugee children in Lebanon, this book reveals the condition of social disadvantage that Syrian and Syrian Palestinian refugee children and their families are experiencing in Lebanon. Maadad and Rodwell propose the idea of the pedagogy of the displaced that recognises socio-economic disadvantage and refocuses the nature of the learner and their learning and the philosophy of teaching. A collaborative action of society the refugee families, the schools, the communities, the host state, the international aid agencies and the rest of the world in addressing the barriers to education and schooling of the refugee children must break ground and be sustained. - Contents: Chapter One: Geopolitics, Middle East Conflicts, Communities, Refugees and Children -- Chapter Two: Refugees in Lebanon: The Context -- Chapter Three: The Provision of Schooling and Challenges for Education for Refugees Inside and Outside Camps in Lebanon -- Chapter Four: Children's Experiences -- Chapter Five: Parents' Concerns Regarding Schooling -- Chapter Six: Teachers' Perspectives and Challenges -- Chapter Seven: Community Concerns and Responses -- Chapter Eight: The State and Policy Support -- General Conclusion.

Originalhardcover, 22 cm. Zustand: Wie neu. VIII, 154 p., 2 b/w fig., 32 tables. A perfect copy. - Summary: Public administration has traditionally been characterised with such bureaucratic features as hierarchical and formalised organisational structure, clear and rigid career paths, lifetime tenure, full-time employment, principle of seniority, advantageous pension schemes and rigid remuneration systems. These features were introduced in late 19th century to reduce the risk of excessive political influence, corruption, misconduct and instability of government. Today, however, numerous administrative and managerial reforms are affecting these longstanding aspects of public employment. Size and composition of workforce, its working and employment conditions, nature of work, and values and legal status are all undergoing a process of change. The various reforms are also gradually shrinking the size of central public administrations of the EU-27 Member States. They are becoming more decentralised and fragmented, more diversified, more aligned and less specific. The on-going financial crisis and the introduction of hasty austerity measures have a strong impact on the public workforce in most EU Member States. So far, restructuring programmes and effects of austerity measures have not been a subject of rigorous scrutiny. Similarly, the effects of public management reforms have not been studied either and have resulted in national administrations having no longer a single coherent framework. Filling this important gap, this comparative study attempts to assess the effects of these developments in public employment in the central public administrations of the EU Member States offering insight into the future of public employment. - Contents: 1 Introduction -- 2 Methodology -- 3 Definition of status in the Member States of the EU - 3.1 Public law status - 3.2 Status as social or professional standing - 3.3 Status as public service ethos - 3.4 Conclusions -- 4 Status in a time perspective: reform factors and reform pressures - 4.1 Status in a historical context -- 4.2 From public administration to public management and governance: implications for the public status - 4.3 Change of work and work ethos - from status to virtual workplaces - 4.4 Governance and public employment restructuring: new instruments, what effects? -- 5 Change of employment and employment conditions -- 6 Restructuring public workforce and the impact of austerity measures: towards a new employment structure? -- 7 Trend towards more flexible employment features and its impact on central public administration -- 8 EU law: limits to flexibility and flexible employment contracts -- 9 Future relationship between civil servants and other public employees -- 9.1 Distinction between civil servants and other public employees - 9.2 Sectors o f civil service employment - 9.3 Reserve of certain functions to civil servants: a new blurring of boundaries -- 10 Conclusions.

kart. 324 S. : Ill. ; 23 cm Zustand: Sehr gut, neuwertig. - "Exil-Dokumente verboten verbrannt vergessen" herausgegeben von Deborah J. Vietor-Engländer Band 1 - Nach dem antijüdischen Reichspogrom vom November 1938 beschliesst eine 57jährige jüdische Wienerin, zu ihrer Tochter in die Schweiz zu emigrieren. Die Umsetzung des Vorhabens ist qualvoll und gefährlich und gelingt erst Mitte 1939. Ein unauffälliger Stapel von Briefen im Familienarchiv der Herausgeberin, vor sechzig Jahren geschrieben, erweist sich als einzigartige Dokumentation. Zwischen den Alltagsnachrichten von Mutter und Tochter, Verwandten und Bekannten lesen wir mit wachsender Beklemmung, wie sich die Katastrophe anbahnt. Menschen jüdischer Herkunft, voll in die Gesellschaften Österreichs und Deutschlands integriert, werden systematisch ausgegrenzt und schrittweise vernichtet, erst rechtlich, dann materiell, zuletzt physisch. Jene, die das Glück haben, als zumeist unerwünschte Flüchtlinge zu überleben, finden sich in alle Winde verstreut. - Marthi Pritzker-Ehrlich wurde 1944 in Kilchberg bei Zürich geboren.

The copy is in mint condition and as good as new. - Summary: The book is the first academic study of Henry Beissels bilingual poetic autobiography. The Canadian poet going back through memories to his childhood in Nazi Germany, wrote a long poem in English and reinterpreted it in German his mother tongue, neglected for decades. The study offers a comparative reading of the two distinctly different versions of the poem, juxtaposing various perspectives, voices and recollections. Beissels bilingual project is depicted as "memory workshop", that mediates between cultures. The work examines Beissels biography and the theories of memory, autobiography and bilingualism. It refers to metafiction, the poetic childs figure and writing trauma, as well as explores poetic complexities of memory and identity. - Contents: 1. Introduction to Henry Beissel -- 1.1.

Originalbroschur. Zustand: Sehr gut. 120 S., : Ill. Einband leicht geknickt, sonst ein sehr gutes Exemplar. - This book investigates the determinants of bank capital structure and procyclical behavior of leverage. A panel data analysis is developed to find out the relation between different types of leverage ratios and asset growth of banks. Furthermore, possible impacts of bank specific and macroeconomic variables on the bank capital structure are discussed. The book concludes that the leverage of Turkish banks is procyclical, which is the outcome of a positive relation between asset growth and leverage. The procyclical leverage could contribute to higher instability in the financial sector and the overall economy. Therefore, further regulations are assumed to be necessary. Size, profit, number of banks, inflation, exchange rate, and gross domestic product are the factors that affect Turkish banks capital structure.

Hardcover, 22 cm. Zustand: Sehr gut. XVIII, 105 pp., num. fig., 5 tables, 22 graphs. A perfect copy. - Managing a band is a challenge, similar to managing a small or medium-sized enterprise. A type of band particularly difficult to manage is a telephone band that does not have a fixed line-up of musicians. Together, the musicians form a virtual organisation. Every participant in the organisation brings in a certain set of skills, has specific business goals, and has to bear some risks. The major findings include a thorough documentation of activities involved in managing a medium-sized telephone band which are explained in more detail by modelling the processes. Emphasising the use of information and communication technologies, the results provide a chronological sequence of activities that may generally be used for band and event management.

A copy in mint condition. - The state of acquiring more than one language as a child or an adult is not the exception; it is rather an everyday reality for a quite substantial part of todays society. This book explores the phenomenon of code-switching within the field of child bilingualism from both linguistic and sociolinguistic perspectives. Based on collected data from Kurdish-German pre-school bilingual children in Austria, this empirical study aims at giving an analysis of linguistic and extra-linguistic factors that constrain child code-switching. The book shows specific interest in practices of code switching and mixing as displayed by Kurdish subjects of the study and in how far these can be sufficiently explained by existing models of (adult) bilingual language behavior. The results clearly show that code-switching can be related to the identity and characteristics of the speakers or to aspects of their social life, and that it can be subconsciously used to manage conflict when different languages are associated with different roles in a community.

Paperback. Zustand: Wie neu. XII, 128 pp., 22.5 cm x 15 cm A perfect copy. - Uncovering Black Heroes: Lesser-Known Stories of Liberty and Civil Rights is a series of stories regarding real people who are not so well known in the mainstream of American freedom and civil rights discussions. These people have made a difference by the events of their lives and by the deliberate contributions they made. In some chapters depictions of fugitive slaves create awareness of the perils of freedom runs and of the desperate, dangerous, and terrifying life of being a hunted person. In other chapters the degree of local level blockage individuals needed to confront is exposed. Still other chapters point out major efforts by diligent, but for the most part unknown, local people that result in court case settlements and state laws to advance civil rights, in particular suffrage. One chapter takes a close look at leaders in womens clubs and how those leaders defined womens roles in the Black freedom and civil rights movements. Themes stand out as they all build upon each other and are seen from one chapter to the next. In the end, a subtle evolution of ideas can be realized that forms the notion that the great and recognized Black leaders in history have their important place but that freedom and civil rights advancements are made on the backs of the local unknowns who need to be recognized for what they have contributed. This uncovering of unknown players involved in crucial events of their times in the quest for social, political, civil, and personal equality and freedom provides a unique perspective somewhat counter to mainstream thinking. - Contents: Introduction: Why Are These Stories Important to Tell? -- Chapter 1: St. Louis to Detroit -- Chapter 2: Releasing Joshua Glover: Wisconsin's Response to Popular Sovereignty, States' Rights, and the Fugitive Slave Law -- Chapter 3: The Birth of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs -- Chapter 4: Uncovering Ezekiel Gillespie: African American Male Suffrage -- Chapter 5: Milwaukee Movers: James Groppi/Vel Phillips -- Chapter 6: Attorney for the Plaintiffs: Desegregating Milwaukee Public Schools -- Conclusion: What Have We Learned About Uncovering Lesser-Known Heroes? -- Selected Court Decisions Regarding Discrimination Based on Ethnicity -- Selected Court Decisions Regarding Discrimination Based on Gender.
