Neuware - Who hasn't had the frightening experience of stumbling around in the pitch dark Alain Badiou experienced that primitive terror when he, with his young friends, made up a game called 'The Stroke of Midnight.' The furtive discovery of the dark continent of sex in banned magazines, the beauty of black ink on paper, but also the mysteries of space and the grief of mourning: these are some of the things we encounter as the philosopher takes us on a trip through the private theater of his mind, at the whim of his memories. Music, painting, politics, sex, and metaphysics: all contribute to making black more luminous than it has ever been.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The prison is a recent invention, hardly more than two centuries old, yet it has become the universal system of punishment. How can we understand the place that the correctional system occupies in contemporary societies What are the experiences of those who are incarcerated as well as those who work there To answer these questions, Didier Fassin conducted a four-year-long study in a French short-stay prison, following inmates from their trial to their release. He shows how the widespread use of imprisonment has reinforced social and racial inequalities and how advances in civil rights clash with the rationales and practices used to maintain security and order. He also analyzes the concerns and compromises of the correctional staff, the hardships and resistance of the inmates, and the ways in which life on the inside intersects with life on the outside. In the end, the carceral condition appears to be irreducible to other forms of penalty both because of the chain of privations it entails and because of the experience of meaninglessness it comprises. Examined through ethnographic lenses, prison worlds are thus both a reflection of society and its mirror.At a time when many countries have begun to realize the impasse of mass incarceration and question the consequences of the punitive turn, this book will provide empirical and theoretical tools to reflect on the meaning of punishment in contemporary societies.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Empowerment produces the conditions for high performance. Especially for middle managers and below. Empowered cultures attract and retain talent. They produce high achievement, high accountability and high commitment.The Empowered Manager uncovers a roadmap to creating a more accountable culture in today's fragmented and virtual world. Bestselling author Peter Block is a true visionary: author of the classic Flawless Consulting, his work is about empowerment, stewardship, chosen accountability, and reconciliation of community. In this book, he returns his eye toward management to renew our efforts to create a shift in the traditional hierarchy. Twenty years after the original book, Block talks of why it is so difficult to both open the door to empowerment and more importantly, have people walk through it. It is more important than ever to create a culture in which all members of an organization are treated as entrepreneurs, giving them ownership over their role and responsibilities. This is in the face of the reality that most employees want safety, not the adventure of empowerment.Peter enhances the first edition of the book by acknowledging employees wish for dependency. Their longing for the days when a job carried a promise of a future, and companies cared more about the product and the people, than about the money.This is written primarily for people in the middle. Good managers and employees who care more about doing good work and treating people right, than ambition and making it into the ruling class. The upper middle and below is where there is the greatest need for great management. Which builds on valuing strengths, and allowing talent the space to stretch and achieve. Almost independent of the power points of people at the top. This book shows you how a new approach to management empowers all employees at all levels, and culminates in better business outcomes for the entire organization.\* Help shape a culture of commitment\* Develop the political skills to negotiate successfully\* Take responsibility for your actions\* Learn to fail up, and face setbacks with courageIf you feel controlled by bureaucracy, unrewarded for creativity, and from a distance, powerless to control your own destiny, this book is the breath of fresh air your career has been craving. Timeless tips from a master of business strategy alongside a framework for more effective management makes The Empowered Manager a must-read guide for anyone doing business today.…

Das Buch konzentriert sich auf die Vor- und Nachteile von Stahl und wie diese Eigenschaften im Rahmen internationaler Zertifizierungssysteme eingesetzt werden können (DGNB, LEED, BREEAM, openhouse etc). Um ein möglichst umfassendes Spektrum abzudecken, behandelt das Buch die folgenden Themen:\* Der Hintergrund nachhaltigen Bauens\* Grundlagen einer ressourcenschonenden Bauweise\* Methoden und Gestaltungsmittel für die Bereitstellung nachhaltiger Gebäude\* Stahl und sein Abschneiden in Zertifizierungssystemen, sowohl Kriterien als auch werkstoffspezifische Antworten\* Informationen und Daten hinsichtlich relevanter Stahlbauprodukte\* Beispiele nachhaltiger Gebäude in Stahlbauweise.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - SUSTAINABLE SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENTA HANDBOOK FOR SUDS Water management is a key environmental issue for controlling floods and reducing droughts; sustainable drainage systems provide a clear alternative to traditional hard infrastructure. The built environment has become more susceptible to flooding because urbanisation has meant that landscapes that were once porous and allowed surface water to infiltrate, have been stripped of vegetation and soil and have been covered with impermeable roads, pavements and buildings. Sustainable Surface Water Management: A Handbook for SuDS emphasises the SuDS philosophy and explains the sustainable surface water management agenda with a wealth of insights brought together through the experts who have contributed chapters. By integrating physical and environmental sciences, and combining social, economic and political considerations, the book provides a unique resource for a wide range of policy specialists, scientists, engineers and subject enthusiasts. It brings together experts across the whole field of SuDS from the social to the hard physical sciences in order to both highlight the breadth of the subject itself, but also to show the flexibility and multiple benefits that such an approach can bring to the management of surface water. By integrating the physical and environmental sciences, and combining social, economic and political considerations, a unique resource has been produced. This approach addresses issues as diverse as flooding, water quality, amenity and biodiversity, together with the mitigation of, and adaptation to, global climate change, human health benefits and reduction in energy use. In straightened economic times, efficiency and efficacy of approaches are paramount; value for money, payback and whole life costing underlie all undertakings, and SuDS is no exception. Many of the chapters have a UK focus, but globally the UK (and particularly England and Wales) lag behind such countries as the USA and New Zealand. Hence, chapters are included to cover issues from around the world, alongside particular designs associated with the implementation of SuDS in tropical areas, problems with retrofitting SuDS devices, SuDS modelling, water harvesting in drought-stricken countries using SuDS and the inclusion of SuDS in the climate change strategies of many large cities. Such issues and technologies are far-reaching and, as such, can easily be extended to other European and global nations.…
