Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book examines the relationship between the emergence of Byzantine archaeology and British colonialism during the period of the British Mandate in Palestine. Taking a single case study, the Negev Desert (now in southern Israel), this study explores how the development of Byzantine archaeology and historical enquiry in the region after 1800 provided the British government with a political and economic blueprint to secure its strategic interests over the Suez Canal. Several excavations of Byzantine sites during the British Mandate were utilised as an historic proof of concept for scientific programmes of desert greening , and to advocate for the displacement of Arab populations in favour of British economic development and town planning. Invariably, such contemporary concerns to secure British access to the Suez after 1869 shaped the interpretation of Byzantine history. Ideas of the Negev as a timeless frontier zone , which benefitted from the imposition of a central imperial government and increased economic immigration from a Hellenised western Europe, gained a historical precedent in an imagined Byzantine past.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book explores how two million years of natural selection left us with a strong tendency to bestow purposeful intention to the natural world forming a robust cognitive basis for religious belief across human cultures. This cognitive legacy forms the foundation of much of how we interpret the world around us today, and understanding the reasons why and how it evolved can shed light on the peculiar relationships we sometimes form with the many complex social institutions of our time, including one of the most dominant and ubiquitous ones, the nation-state.To explore how our tendencies for religious belief interact with the complex social institutions we currently live under, we go on a journey from the start of the Pleistocene era to domestication, from ancient states to colonialism, and from the industrial revolution to the birth of modern nations, all while tracking the various biological, cognitive, and social elements that explain why today we interpret the nation-state (and other modern social institutions) in very similar ways to how we understood deities of the ancient past. Understanding why and how this happens requires reconstructing how evolution shaped our cognition, how complex social organizations arose after domestication, how they act as external forces to ourselves, and how they grew into distinct and cohesive social entities that our cognition interprets as purposeful players with agency and intent.This book continues the long-held tradition in the social sciences of making this type of interdisciplinary synthesis accessible to the general public, and for that reason, it minimizes discipline-specific jargon and describes experiments and results rather than relying on cited works.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book posits that during Australia s colonial period (1788 1900), all sport, including the hegemonic football codes (rugby union and Australian rules football), was closely tied to British nationalism. The first part of this book, drawing from theories articulated by Tony Collins and Andy Harper, argues that both rugby union and Australian rules in colonial Australia were expressions of British nationalism, promoted and reinforced by the colonial power structures. Meanwhile, soccer, despite its widespread popularity in Britain, was excluded as the hegemonic football code from the colonial sporting landscape. The author argues that the origins of colonial football can be traced to the independent boys school system, where football was first developed before spreading to the wider community. The second part of this book shifts focus to senior community sport, exploring its role as an extension of British nationalism beyond the school system. Through case studies of horse racing, cricket, yachting, and lawn bowls, this book demonstrates how these activities reinforced British cultural identity within colonial communities but were linked to commercial interests. While the organizational structures and purposes of school-based and adult community-based sports differed, this analysis reveals that both ultimately served to affirm British nationalist ideals. School sports were closely tied to education, discipline, and the cultivation of elite leadership, while adult community sports catered more to leisure, entertainment, and social cohesion. Despite these distinctions, both realms contributed to the broader narrative of colonial sport as a vehicle for British cultural hegemony. Relevant to scholars and students in both sports studies and history, this book provides a timely reset for Australian sporting history.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book explores how people have perceived and acted on the changes in four different population components, namely, fertility, mortality, and mobility, through the creation and development of Modern Japan to the present day. With the highest life expectancy in the world; the highest proportion of the elderly; very low fertility, below the replacement level; and a limited number of international migrants, Japan's population indicators are unique. Around 2008, the population of the archipelago started to decrease at the same pace as it had previously increased. To understand this phenomenon, it is necessary to look back in history and examine the facts and ideas that shaped the Japanese population. From the Meiji to the Heisei eras (1868-present), substantial changes occurred not only in the numbers but also in the perception and norms that people take for granted. These changes are traced, side by side, through the chapters on fertility control, health and population ageing, urbanization and internal migration, international migration, and international cooperation in the field of population and development. The book illustrates not the uniqueness that isolates Japan from the rest of the world, but the reality of a population that has faced one situation at a time, offering readers a perspective for understanding human society at large.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Der Beitritt zum Europarat vor 75 Jahren war für die Deutschen in der Bundesrepublik der erste große Schritt zur europäischen Integration. Er öffnete ihnen den Weg in die (west-) europäische Völkerfamilie und bedeutete nicht weniger als das Bekenntnis Deutschlands zu den Grundwerten Europas: Demokratie, Menschenrechte und Rechtsstaatlichkeit. Doch anders als die Europäische Union oder die NATO erfährt die Straßburger Organisation mit ihren 46 Mitgliedstaaten in Deutschland heute zu Unrecht vergleichsweise wenig politische, mediale, öffentliche, aber auch wissenschaftliche Aufmerksamkeit. Vor diesem Hintergrund bietet dieses essential einen einführenden interdisziplinären Überblick über die Mitgliedschaft Deutschlands im Europarat.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book offers a comprehensive exploration of ancient Chinese educational thought, spanning from its origins to its evolution across millennia. At its core, the book argues that ancient Chinese education was deeply rooted in societal, political, and cultural contexts, with a distinct focus on ethical cultivation, secular utility, and social harmony.

It further examines the thoughts of major schools Confucianism, Mohism, Legalism, and Taoism and their debates on morality, governance, and human nature. Key themes include the primacy of moral education (over utilitarianism), the political function of education in maintaining social order, and pedagogical methods like heuristic teaching and individualized instruction. The book also highlights unique features such as the integration of family and state in educational goals, respect for teachers, and the interplay between education and institutions like the Imperial Examination.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book is structured in two major parts: the Modern Period and the Contemporary Period. The former (1840 1949) explores the interaction and integration of Chinese and Western educational ideas, with chapters dedicated to key trends. The latter (1949 2010) traces the evolution of educational thought through distinct historical stages. The overarching theme is China s educational modernization as a contested, adaptive process shaped by efforts to reconcile traditional values with global ideas, address national crises, and meet the needs of diverse populations. In the modern era, it focuses on how educators sought to save the nation through education , debating whether reform or revolution was the path forward. In the contemporary era, it explores how education served socialist nation-building, navigated political upheavals, and evolved to support economic development and global integration. This volume is an indispensable resource for anyone seeking to understand China s educational past and its implications for global education discourse. It is more than a history of Chinese education it is a study of how a nation s intellectual and educational journey reflects its quest for prosperity, equity, and cultural continuity. It invites readers to rethink assumptions about modern education and appreciate the complexity of educational reform in a rapidly changing society.…
