Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - On an ice-crusted moon in the spur of Orion, the twins Hana and Bao search for life. They drill, release cyber eels, probe the undersea depths.Dive by dive, their power drains low. The blood-freezing cold creeps nearer and nearer. Their hope fades in the dark frosted night.Together, alone, they find strength.In the poems of late Earth - the far East.From refugees fleeing the storm-ravaged wastelands of deep China.From a political prisoner awaiting execution, many faiths bridged by her death.From the star monks wandering high mountains, seeding visions bright, drawing seekers afar.From their father, creator of a floating village in the Sea of Japan, imitating the genius of nature in shells, leaves, and bones.From their mother, survivor of the nuclear sun, braving return to the crater.The twins gamble all on one final dive. They discover new life, strange, unexpected. They find in this life an intelligence, an organization, a spirit burning strong.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 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 - Magnetic reconnection is a powerful energy-conversion process that operates anywhere in the universe where there is a magnetized plasma. Results of magnetic reconnection can be spectacular and also harmful to technological systems and humans as they include auroras, geomagnetic storms, solar and stellar flares, beams of energetic particles and radio bursts. This volume provides a comprehensive overview of the current understanding of magnetic reconnection and relevant processes in space plasmas based on recent spacecraft observations and theoretical simulations and discusses its astrophysical context.The book reviews the advancements of our understanding of magnetic reconnection in geospace realized by the recent unprecedentedly high temporal resolution measurements from MMS (Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission) and numerical simulations. The chapters review new discoveries on dynamics of reconnection at the smallest scales, down to the electron kinetic scale, on the diverse roles of waves and turbulence in magnetic reconnection, as well as new insights into the macroscale consequences of reconnection.The book also provides broad context of magnetic reconnection not only in geospace, but also in different environments throughout the solar system and astrophysical plasmas, and in laboratory plasmas. Readers will find both up-to-date results of the dynamic research field and tutorial articles including the various methods of the spacecraft data analysis and simulation models.Reprinted from the journal Space Science Reviews, Topical Collection: 'Magnetic Reconnection: Explosive Energy Conversion in Space Plasmas'. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Fast niemand will es und doch geschieht es Tag für Tag, Jahr für Jahr, Dekade für Dekade: Entwaldung, Luftverschmutzung, Finanzkrise, Klimawandel. Woran liegt es, dass wir scheinbar unfähig sind, uns unserem Wissen entsprechend zu verhalten Das Buch geht diesen Fragen nach und verfolgt Spuren, die weit in die Vergangenheit zurückreichen, und stößt auf ein immer wiederkehrendes Phänomen: Marktversagen. Obwohl erst seit dem 20. Jahrhundert bekannt und benannt, war Marktversagen von Anfang an ein steter Begleiter von Märkten, eine der großen zivilisatorischen Errungenschaften. So wie Menschen und Bakterien, Computer und Computerviren einander bedingen, so schaffen Märkte die Möglichkeit von Marktversagen und entwickeln sich miteinander über die Jahrhunderte und Jahrtausende evolutionär weiter.Je größer, je globaler die Märkte, desto größer, desto globaler auch die Krisen und Katastrophen, die durch Marktversagen erzeugt werden. Wie kommt es dazu Wieso ist es so enorm schwierig, dagegen zu halten Fragen über Fragen auf die das Buch Antworten liefert, auch wenn manche unbequem sind.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book focuses on the work of Dutch educational philosopher Gert Biesta. It offers a comprehensive exploration of his revolutionary ideas, guiding readers through his critique of contemporary educational thought and his alternative vision for education. By engaging with Biesta's work, we are invited to grapple with fundamental questions about the nature and purpose of education in the twenty-first century. What does it mean to be educated What is the role of the teacher How can education contribute to a more democratic society The book illuminates a different approach to the key question underpinning all of Biesta's work: what is the purpose of education It pays particular attention to unpicking the more abstruse areas of his work, in order to make it more accessible to practitioners who are attracted to the general tenor of Biesta's work but find some of the philosophical discussions hard to digest.This book will be beneficial to researchers, educators, policymakers, or readers interested in the future of education. At the end of it, readers will have been introduced to the key ideas of one of the most original and challenging voices in contemporary educational philosophy, as well as being able to identify exactly what it is that bothers them about modern schools and universities, and how those issues might be addressed. 112 pp. Englisch.…

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 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. 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. 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.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - 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.…
