Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book analyzes the financial implications of biodiversity loss and the critical role banks play in both amplifying and mitigating this risk. Drawing on recent academic contributions, central bank reports, and empirical insights, the book frames biodiversity loss as both a source of physical and transition risk, and a driver of financial contagion through disrupted supply chains, asset devaluation, and credit defaults in nature-dependent sectors. The volume describes banking exposure to biodiversity-related risk and evaluates existing tools to measure and manage this exposure, including biodiversity-adjusted ESG ratings, Corporate Biodiversity Footprints (CBF), and the TNFD framework. It then turns to the transformative role that banks can play, through conditional lending, biodiversity-linked instruments, and stewardship strategies, in reversing ecological harm and supporting nature-positive transitions. Targeted at scholars, regulators, and financial practitioners, this book provides a novel framework for integrating biodiversity risk into financial decision-making, prudential supervision, and impact finance. It concludes with actionable policy recommendations and an agenda for future research on nature-related financial risks.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book introduces resilience-based concepts and high reliability organization (HRO) principlesadapted from disruption-prone industriesto improve risk management for tail or extreme events in U.S. globally systemically important banks (G-SIBs). HROs thrive in volatile environments by prioritizing adaptability, vigilance, resilience, and safety. Given that both G-SIBs and disruption-prone companies operate in increasingly uncertain and complex settings, there is a shared need for risk management techniques centered on resilience engineering to anticipate and mitigate unexpected extreme events. While G-SIBs are "too big to fail" and provide valuable insights into resilience in high-stakes scenarios, these approaches can benefit banks of all sizes facing similar risks.Springer-Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 253 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book redefines ideas of liberty and equality for the modern world. After exploring the origins of liberalism and the role of natural liberty as a principle of social organisation, liberty and equality are reconceived as complex and continuous notions that need support from social institutions to function. Such an approach allows an investigation of the connection between alternative conceptions of liberty and equality, diverging principles of social organization, and the assessment of the coherence and consistency of the entire programme.Springer-Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 678 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book introduces resilience-based concepts and high reliability organization (HRO) principles adapted from disruption-prone industries to improve risk management for tail or extreme events in U.S. globally systemically important banks (G-SIBs). HROs thrive in volatile environments by prioritizing adaptability, vigilance, resilience, and safety. Given that both G-SIBs and disruption-prone companies operate in increasingly uncertain and complex settings, there is a shared need for risk management techniques centered on resilience engineering to anticipate and mitigate unexpected extreme events. While G-SIBs are too big to fail and provide valuable insights into resilience in high-stakes scenarios, these approaches can benefit banks of all sizes facing similar risks.The book explores the social world of banking and management, emphasizing the subjective nature of risk as people interpret events differently. Through surveys, interviews, and case studies, the research identifies growing interest in non-predictive risk methods for bank resilience. It recommends supplementing existing quantitative risk models with a transdisciplinary approach focused on non-predictive HRO principles to help banks prevent and mitigate extreme risks. The study finds that current G-SIB risk methods rely heavily on quantitative models, which may create a false sense of security. Additionally, extreme events are increasingly compound and often driven by human behavior. The book targets scholars and professionals seeking advances in resilience engineering within banking.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Borders are frequently conceived as defensive lines rigid edges of sovereignty, fortified margins, or hotspots of conflict. This book challenges that assumption. By rethinking borders not as barriers but as dynamic spaces of encounter, it redefines the very foundations of border studies as a historical discipline.Focusing on Europe and its colonial territories across both pre-modern and modern eras, the author demonstrates how borderlands have repeatedly served as sites of exchange, negotiation, and creativity. Far from being static peripheries, these regions have produced hybrid identities, fostered transboundary solidarities, and yielded unexpected responses in moments of crisis. Through vivid historical examples, the book shows that borders often become generative centers places where new ideas, communities, and forms of coexistence emerge.Clear, compelling, and rigorously researched, this book offers a crucial corrective to traditional border scholarship. It urges readers to rethink how borders have operated across history, how they have shaped human lives, and why their significance endures today. In a world that witnessed the extraordinary border closures of COVID-19, this work provides a timely and necessary opportunity to reflect anew on what borders truly mean.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book redefines ideas of liberty and equality for the modern world. After exploring the origins of liberalism and the role of natural liberty as a principle of social organisation, liberty and equality are reconceived as complex and continuous notions that need support from social institutions to function. Such an approach allows an investigation of the connection between alternative conceptions of liberty and equality, diverging principles of social organization, and the assessment of the coherence and consistency of the entire programme.By rejecting the existing notions underpinning traditional liberalism, a new framework for socio-liberalism is presented where there is a clear distinction between the social and the private domains. The former is based on value-hierarchy and the latter is guided by alternative principles of economic organisation. The role of education, and the need for institutions to support individual development and sovereignty, are highlighted as a way of enabling this new structure of liberal society where inevitable inequalities are made explicit, contained, and used to serve the public interest.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book proposes a groundbreaking exploration into "affective intermediality," an emerging paradigm that centres on the interplay between media, embodied experiences and material reality. At a time when the scholarly discourse on intermediality is still dominated by researches on literature and mass media, this collection of essays focuses on cinematic intermediality. It delves into the unique position of cinematic images being able to incorporate and to connect to all the other media, as well as being able to generate intense emotions and ethically illuminating experiences. Through investigations into the sensuous inflections of moving images, the volume brings into the spotlight the often overlooked affective potential of intermediality connecting art and life. The chapters investigate a wide array of topics from the representability of feelings and traumatic experiences, from cultural and sensorial entanglements to the gendered gaze and to various affective modalities of getting in touch with the world, including an attunement to non-anthropocentric perspectives. Through in-depth case studies, the book examines how intermedial art practices involving moving images can convey and engender specific sensibilities regarding reality and art. With contributions from both emerging and established scholars, the book highlights films from diverse geo-cultural contexts, also drawing attention to works by and about women. Designed for scholars and students in film and media studies, this book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the affective dimensions of intermediality. It invites readers to engage with critical questions about the emotional and cultural impact of moving images and their intermedial network.Springer-Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 380 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book's aim is to rescue from oblivion the work of a forgotten founder of developmental psychology: Austrian psychologist Heinz Werner. Based on the Orthogenetic Principle, Werner created a structuralist-systemic way of understanding organismic development as genetic processes always leading parts of a system to increasing levels of differentiation and hierarchical integration in relation to the whole system. This made him one of the pioneers of developmental sciences along with figures such as James Baldwin, Lev Vygotsky and Jean Piaget. Werner, however, has never enjoyed the same degree of recognition as his peers and his work started to fall into oblivion by the end of the 20th century.Springer-Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 296 pp. Englisch.

Werner, however, has never enjoyed the same degree of recognition as his peers and his work started to fall into oblivion by the end of the 20th century. By rescuing Heinz Werner s work from oblivion, authors in this volume argue that it s possible to find a way to the future of developmental psychology by looking at a forgotten part of its past. So, this contributed volume brings together chapters that review Heinz Werner s main theoretical contributions to developmental psychology, point to the limitations of Werner s work and propose new theoretical and methodological approaches that build upon Werner s work to contribute to revitalize his legacy and make his original ideas the basis of a holistic approach to developmental psychology that aims at understanding development in a systemic and contextualized way. Heinz Werner: A Forgotten Pioneer in Developmental Sciences will be an invaluable resource for researchers and students in the fields of developmental, educational and theoretical psychology.
