Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In this important new book, Nancy Fraser and Rahel Jaeggi take a fresh look at the big questions surrounding the peculiar social form known as 'capitalism,' upending many of our commonly held assumptions about what capitalism is and how to subject it to critique. They show how, throughout its history, various regimes of capitalism have relied on a series of institutional separations between economy and polity, production and social reproduction, and human and non-human nature, periodically readjusting the boundaries between these domains in response to crises and upheavals. They consider how these 'boundary struggles' offer a key to understanding capitalism's contradictions and the multiple forms of conflict to which it gives rise.What emerges is a renewed crisis critique of capitalism which puts our present conjuncture into broader perspective, along with sharp diagnoses of the recent resurgence of right-wing populism and what would be required of a viable Left alternative. This major new book by two leading critical theorists will be of great interest to anyone concerned with the nature and future of capitalism and with the key questions of progressive politics today. …

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Reinvent best practices that have become bad habitsWithout meaning to, and often with the best of intentions, most organizations continually waste precious time and money on processes and activities that don't create value and no longer make sense in today's business environment. Until now, the relatively slow speed of marketplace evolution has allowed wasteful habits to continue without consequence. This reality is ending.Detonate explains how organizations built up bad habits, identifies which ones masquerade as 'best practices,' and suggests alternatives that can contribute to winning in the marketplace. With a focus on optimism and empowerment, it focuses on an approach and mindset which are critical to successfully compete in an era characterized by profound technological advances and uncertainty.\* Core themes challenge how you think about and approach problems\* Case studies illustrate the challenges you face and how to overcome them\* Recommendations are pragmatic and steer clear of suggesting a brand-new, complicated wiring diagram\* Actionable advice provides the first steps down an evolutionary pathIf you want to compete differently in today's marketplace and to challenge the things your company does which you have a nagging feeling are actually just a waste of time - and maybe value-destroying - Detonate gives you what you need to ignite change.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Provides a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the development of the science behind the psychology of false confessions Four decades ago, little was known or understood about false confessions and the reasons behind them. So much has changed since then due in part to the diligent work done by Gisli H. Gudjonsson. This eye-opening book by the Icelandic/British clinical forensic psychologist, who in the mid 1970s had worked as detective in Reykjavik, offers a complete and current analysis of how the study of the psychology of false confessions came about, including the relevant theories and empirical/experimental evidence base. It also provides a reflective review of the gradual development of the science and how it can be applied to real life cases. Based on Gudjonsson's personal account of the biggest murder investigations in Iceland's history, as well as other landmark cases, The Psychology of False Confessions: Forty Years of Science and Practice takes readers inside the minds of those who sit on both sides of the interrogation table to examine why confessions to crimes occur even when the confessor is innocent. Presented in three parts, the book covers how the science of studying false confessions emerged and grew to become a regular field of practice. It then goes deep into the investigation of the mid-1970s assumed murders of two men in Iceland and the people held responsible for them. It finishes with an in-depth psychological analysis of the confessions of the six people convicted. - Written by an expert extensively involved in the development of the science and its application to real life cases - Covers the most sensational murder cases in Iceland's history - Deep analysis of the 'Reykjavik Confessions' adds crucial evidence to understanding how and why coerced-internalized false confessions occur, and their detrimental and lasting effects on memory The Psychology of False Confessions: Forty Years of Science and Practice is an important source book for students, academics, criminologists, and clinical, forensic, and social psychologists and psychiatrists.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The modelling tools for soils and rocks require more and more specific parameters not always available from the standard or usual survey campaigns, this generally for reasons of delay or costs. The use of correlations to solve the gap between available parameters and the required ones is a common practice. Many of them exist but are spread throughout numerous papers or books. The aim of this formulary is to provide a large synthesis of the existing correlations accumulated by the authors during more than 40 years academic and consulting careers.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Completely revised and updated, the fourth edition of this classic text continues to offer the reader a thorough understanding of viscoelastic behavior, essential for the proper utilization of polymers.\* Explains principles, corresponding equations, and experimental methods with supporting real-life applications\* Adds coverage of measurement techniques (nano-indentation, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and diffusing wave spectroscopy (DWS)), biopolymer viscoelasticity, and the relationship between mechanical polymer properties and viscoelastic functions\* Has two new ections to address modern areas of viscoelastic measurement: large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) and microrheology\* Includes problems in the text and an Instructor's Manual (including solutions) available for adopting professors\* Prior edition reviews: 'The book is clear written and.[is] appropriate for students in introductory undergraduate courses and for others wanting introduction to the fundamentals of the subject.' (CHOICE, December 2005); 'This book is invariably well written, logically organized and easy to follow.I highly recommend this book to anyone studying polymer viscoelasticity.' (Polymer News, December 2005); - Erläutert die Prinzipien, zugehörigen Gleichungen und experimentelle Methoden, die durch praktische Anwendungen ergänzt werden. Begleitende Website mit weiteren hilfreichen Daten.- Behandelt Messverfahren (Nanoindentation, Rasterkraftmikroskopie (AFM), Vielfachstreuung von Licht (Diffusing Wave Spectroscopy DWS)), die Viskoelastizität von Biopolymeren und den Zusammenhang zwischen den mechanischen Eigenschaften von Polymeren und viskoelastischen Funktionen.- Beinhaltet zwei neue Abschnitte über moderne Bereiche von viskoelastischen Messungen: oszillatorische Scherung (Large Amplitude Oscillatory Shear LAOS) und Mikrorheologie.- Problemstellungen im Text.
