Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Selective Empathy: The West Through the Gaze of Gaza takes us to the heart of the greatest moral crisis of our time: the genocide in Gaza. Blending sharp political critique with psychological and global health research, haunting testimonies, and suppressed facts, Roberto De Vogli exposes the moral double standards of mainstream Western leaders, journalists, and intellectuals. The book reveals an international community that extends compassion to some victims while denying it to others. Gaza has become a mirror, a litmus test, and a moral blind spot in the West's eye. Will our civilization survive this crisis of humanity De Vogli challenges prevailing narratives and calls for a new solidarity grounded in universal empathy, social justice, and emotional decolonization. …

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - For many religious groups today, issues of gender identity, gender equality, gender roles, sexuality, sexual ethics, abortion, and equal marriage are the subject of much debate. Roman Catholic and evangelical groups - traditionally theologically opposed - share certain perspectives on social values and moral beliefs. Cooperation between these groups on political issues is well-attested in various societal contexts around the world concerning, for example, feminism, abortion, homosexuality, and 'gender' politics. Groups are challenged to renegotiate values and norms, an undertaking which entails potential for conflict. Ideological and religious debates no longer necessarily run along confessional or denominational lines, rather are reflected in processes of negotiation of values. This collection of case studies on issues of gender and sexuality in Christian groups includes critical reflections on both the Roman Catholic gender discourse and non- and inter-denominational groups, movements, publications, and personalities.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Dialectics of Chinese Labor examines China's trade union adaptation to the changing demands of the working class. For nearly 50 years, market socialism is transforming China from a rural to an urban economy, posing significant challenges to China's trade union federation (ACFTU). The labor federation has skilfully reshaped its organizing strategies to respond to workers' new material realities. This book counters the monolithic position that devalues ACFTU by using direct evidence to reveal its commitment and determination to improve wages and working conditions across the industrial, service, digital and rural sectors of the Chinese economy.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This volume explores Paul Celan's poetry through the lens of geology, materiality of landscape, and deep time. It examines how stone, earth, and mineral imagery shape his response to historical trauma, silence, and loss. Through close readings, the volume shows how Celan's poems function as stratified inscriptions - sites where memory, matter, and language become entangled. Combining literary analysis with insights from posthumanism and material ecocriticism, the volume reveals Celan's work as a profound meditation on the Earth's textures, temporalities, and the fragile continuities of human experience.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Preaching is possible in profoundly impactful, soulful, and meaningful ways. In many places this already happens--often beyond the pulpit and without being recognized as preaching. The authors examine the unquestioned power claims of traditional, front-facing preaching and offer alternative, feminist, and postcolonial approaches. Focusing on participation rather than pulpit-centered authority, they seek to transform preaching within a world that is itself in transformation.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book studies the legal reasoning of Malik ibn Anas (d. 179 H./795 C.E.) in the Muwa??a' and Mudawwana. Although focusing on Malik, the book presents a broad comparative study of legal reasoning in the first three centuries of Islam. It reexamines the role of considered opinion (ra'y), dissent, and legal ?adiths and challenges the paradigm that Muslim jurists ultimately concurred on a 'four-source' (Qur?an, sunna, consensus, and analogy) theory of law. Instead, Malik and Medina emphasizes that the four Sunni schools of law (madhahib) emerged during the formative period as distinctive, consistent, yet largely unspoken legal methodologies and persistently maintained their independence and continuity over the next millennium.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Seeds asks what must already be in place for thought, perception, and relation to begin. You enter a modular and recursive text built from signals, fragments, and Morse-based structures, where rhythm and interval operate as temporal engines and silence functions as condition rather than absence. Instead of narrating experience, Seeds records executed forms--pulses, delays, repetitions--so meaning appears as a late arrival rather than a foundation. The book foregrounds emergence without origin, growth without teleology, and coherence without hierarchy, offering a media-archaeological poetics of structure that can be entered anywhere and revisited without closure.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book explores the collaborative and interwoven world of male and female Quaker autobiographers in the late seventeenth century. Using cultural semiotics as a guiding framework, it reveals how spiritual experience and self-representation emerge through mutual influence, shared narrative patterns, and active participation across texts. Voices intertwine, echo, and reinforce one another, creating a collective literary space in which gendered perspectives enrich and shape spiritual expression. By highlighting this cooperative dynamic, the study offers fresh insights into Quaker life writing and opens new venues for understanding early modern autobiography, spirituality, and infracultural exchange.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Before migration studies became a formal discipline, its core terminology was shaped within Western scientific and nationalist frameworks. This book interrogates how those frameworks continue to structure biblical interpretation. Challenging methodological nationalism and the 'container model' of society, Gregory L. Cuéllar argues that empire--not the nation-state--provides the more adequate lens for understanding human mobility in the Hebrew Bible. Through sustained engagement with Ruth, prophetic literature, and the history of migration theory, the book reframes displacement as constitutive rather than anomalous. By exposing the political and epistemic assumptions embedded in migration discourse, this study calls for a more ethically accountable and post-imperial biblical scholarship.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This collection of studies is devoted to the social role of language in the history of East Central Europe from the Middle Ages to the beginning of the 20th century. The authors examine the specificity of East Central Europe, an area that was a borderland between 'West' and 'East'. The region was largely inhabited by Slavic people, which gave it the character - and sometimes the name - of a Slavic world, but it was also home to non-Slavic ethnic groups (Germans, Hungarians, Jews). Various cultures, traditions, religions, faiths reinforced by social and economic divisions, as well as changing political borders over the centuries, created a complex picture of human relations. The authors set out to understand the history of East Central Europe through language - or rather co-existing languages - and the role they played at different levels of communication and in different systems of human relations (social, economic and political). …

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What makes some conflicts escalate In what ways can the skills to use words wisely shape the resolution of disputes Can language and education help us find common ground Conflict Resolution: Exploring the Interface of Language and Education invites you to see how confrontation can transform into cooperation. The volume reveals how communication builds bridges where divisions once stood, e.g. in courtrooms, classrooms, media, public relations, science communication or religious discourse.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book challenges the notion of Roma as mere victims of human rights violations in 20th century Europe and as another collective victim of Nazism and Stalinism. Focusing on post-war Czechoslovakia in the first 20 years of its existence as a communist state, the book explores various spheres of public life in which it is possible to trace the agency of Romani individuals and collective initiatives. As citizens and Holocaust survivors they fought for equal rights, social and political participation under conditions which appeared to be a dramatic reformulation of the state's approach to Roma under communist rule. The book offers a collection of texts, a unique selection of historical sources of predominantly Romani provenance, and commentaries that contextualise these sources within the history of post-war Czechoslovakia and the local nascent Romani movement.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This volume centers on the Biblical statement 'God is love', exploring what this means in the context of the Old and New Testaments, and in the systematic-theological discussions on the doctrine of God, ontology, and eschatology.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What lies beneath the enduring charm of West Lake This volume reveals how this iconic Hangzhou landscape evolved from a swamp into a public space and, ultimately, a powerful cultural symbol. Through new interdisciplinary research, it reframes West Lake within long-term landscape formation, showing how interactions between people and nature shaped its preservation, aesthetics, and commodification. Chapters uncover overlooked histories--from water myth to dredging, from material culture to global reception--demonstrating how West Lake became a place where knowledge, art, and identity were continually remade. This book offers a fresh model for landscape and place studies in China and the broader East Asian cultural sphere.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book critiques current conceptions of vocational education based on narrow views of skills, work, and social relations, and argues for a more expansive approach based on human capabilities.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Inscriptions are often regarded as the ultimate textual 'originals' - authentic, authoritative, and unique. This volume challenges that longstanding assumption by showing that formal inscriptions were commonly produced with the help of manuscripts and are, in many cases, copies of preexisting models. Bringing together studies from China, India, Laos, and Siam, the book explores the complex processes of drafting, copying, and transferring texts across a wide range of materials and media. The contributions reveal previously little-known manuscript practices, highlight the tension between fidelity and creativity in inscription-making, and uncover the sociocultural, political, and technological forces at play. Moving beyond the traditional stemmatic approach, this book redefines how we understand epigraphic texts and contributes to current discussions on methodology and terminology in epigraphic research as well as to broader theoretical debates in the fields of philology, textual criticism, and manuscript studies.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book provides a philosophical exploration of educational leadership for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). It challenges South African leaders to move beyond simply implementing new technologies like AI and other metadata points in educational leadership, urging more profound and ethical approaches to education, teaching, and learning, and research in education spaces. By integrating Western and non-Western frameworks like Ubuntu, it addresses systemic inequalities and diverse cultural needs. The aim of the book is also to highlight what equitable, compassionate leadership practices that navigate the complexities of innovation and humanity to build a forward-thinking education system for all look like.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book reconsiders the Fourth Gospel's portrayal of the Beloved Disciple through the lens of biblical performance criticism. The study demonstrates how a skilled performer--alert to the text's observable rhetorical cues--brings the central features of the Disciple's characterization to life in front of an ancient audience. While many interpreters have cast the Beloved Disciple as an 'ideal' figure, Zito argues that he is distinguished not by perfection but by his willingness to be near Jesus and move toward him in every circumstance.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Die Arktis ist heute Schauplatz geostrategischer Auseinandersetzungen zwischen Russland, den USA und China: Aufgrund des Klimawandels versprechen eine eisfreie Nord-Ost-Passage und riesige neue Rohstoffvorkommen etliche Möglichkeiten an Einflussnahme und Machtzugewinn.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In a scientifically oriented world, our understanding of uncertainty is almost exclusively mediated by probabilistic ideas, whether naïvely understood or theoretically grounded. However, there is one context where the scientific idea of probability is notable by its absence: our experience of uncertainty as individuals from a first-person perspective, from within. Here, fiction as 'the science of the particular' may help by exposing the phenomenology of uncertainty. In this book, Prof. Neuman studies experiences of uncertainty as reflected and expressed in fiction. Although a common saying is that God does not play dice (with the universe), it will be shown that God's presence and absence both repeatedly accompany the experience of uncertainty. This book, critical and interdisciplinary, is imbued with irony and humor, and contains profound reflections that will give the reader a fresh perspective on the feelings we experience when facing the abyss of ignorance.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The open access publication of this book has been published with the support of the Swiss National Science Foundation. Without Brazilian cotton, Europe's first factories would have struggled to thrive. This book reveals how Maranhão plantations, Northeastern Brazilian smallholders, and Lisbon merchants sustained an Atlantic trade that supplied France, England, and beyond. It exposes how diverse labor systems, imperial monopolies, and foreign merchant networks shaped global commerce in ways that historians have overlooked. Drawing on unpublished archives and using new data, Felipe Souza Melo demonstrates how Brazil powered early industrialization and why scholarship has largely ignored it. To have a more comprehensive story of cotton and capitalism, it is essential to start with Brazil, and this book provides the missing chapter.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Who is your favourite woman writer from the 1800s Today, many readers are likely to name Jane Austen, but in the 1880s, a common answer across Europe might well have been E. Marlitt. Redrawing Europe's Literary Map sets out to uncover which female authors reached historical readers ca 1850-1920, based on the analysis of libraries and book collections, serializations in periodicals, literary reviewing, advertisements and translations. This data-rich approach shapes the comparative methodology and overall relational framework adopted in the volume. Its unusual perspective, centring the literary scenes of Finland, the Netherlands, Norway, Slovenia and Spain, provides unique insights into the transnational connectedness of the European literary system around 1900.…
