Mit dem Inkrafttreten des neuen Versicherungsvertragsgesetz Anfang 2008 hat sich die Praxis der Schadensregulierung im Bereich der Kfz-Haftpflichtversicherung und der Kaskoversicherung grundlegend geändert. Insbesondere durch die Aufgabe des "Alles-oder-Nichts-Prinzips" ist die Beurteilung des Einzelfalls schwieriger und komplexer geworden. So führt die grob fahrlässige Herbeiführung des Versicherungsfalls nicht mehr automatisch zum Verlust de...

In this comic opera set in England, Falstaff is a friend and admirer of playwright William Shakespeare--and the same lecherous fellow we saw in Shakespeare's Henry IV. One summer night, Queen Elizabeth goes incognito to a party given by Falstaff in honor of the Bard, who's melancholy over a lost love. Things go rapidly downhill from there! One of the best plays ever written by a team that specialized in light melodramas.

Translation of: What does it mean to be global?

Just about everyone is ′for′ development as an assumed ′good′, yet few seem to have a concrete idea of what the term actually entails. Development offers a comprehensive and wide-ranging analysis of the various ways in which this important concept has been used in social and political analysis over the past 200 years.

This monograph presents the changes in diversity and distribution in time and space of the mammalian fauna in Denmark and adjacent areas throughout the Weichselian glaciation and the Holocene (115-0 kyr BP). In all, 77 terrestrial and marine mammal species have been identified and described in details as regards first and last appearance data, number of dated records and the inferred time range in the Danish/south Scandinavian area. The change...

The contemporary world is one of contingency and risk. We face a range of social and political problems barely imaginable to previous generations. Here the technique of critical social theory is applied to some of the most challenging social and political questions of our time. 'Critical Turns in Critical Theory' brings together a diverse range of scholars to discuss a number of issues facing civil society at a regional and global level in rec...

Contains a selection of papers presented initially at the 7th Annual Advances in Econometrics Conference held on the LSU campus in Baton Rouge, Louisiana during November 14-16, 2008. This work is suitable for those who wish to familiarize themselves with nonparametric methodology.

As an increasingly significant aspect of primary teaching, Creative Approaches to Teaching Primary RE is the essential companion to help bring creativity to life in the classroom. The text begins with a discussion of creative education and the value of Religious Education, moving on to reflect on the cross-curricular nature of the subject, exploring ways of introducing creativity to the classroom, through the medium of Religious Education.

Approaching the New Testament from a midrashic perspective leads to a radically new picture of Jesus as a political leader.

Scholars of journalism and media studies have illustrated the production of alternative media as a means for activists to generate dissent, while communication scholars have examined activists' performances and image events as challenges to dominant power structures. The approaches of both fields have contributed to academic understanding of social movements in modern society, but until now, their findings have emerged separate from one anothe...

Glycobiology is the study of complex carbohydrates, or glycans, which play an important role in biochemical signalling between cells and hence in normal cell development. Deficiencies or excess production of particular glycans have been linked to human diseases and have also been shown to play a part in cancer development. This book is the first to be dedicated to the bioinformatics of carbohydrates and glycoproteins. It provides a state-of-...

What does a young lad of the tender age of fifteen want from life? In 1935, the author signed up for the Royal Navy and left his home in Hull for HMS Ganges, a training ship for 'nozzers' near Harwich. A picnic it wasn't, and little did Ken Kent know what was in store for him when Hitler invaded Poland and plunged Europe into the turmoil of World War II. The author saw action against the Germans, the Italians and even the French, and sailed...

A characterization study of ultrasmall ultraefficient multijunction concentrator solar cells under realistic illumination conditions is presented, with emphasis on performance sensitivity to light intensity and distribution. Information of this type is essential in the design and optimization of the latest generations of high-flux photovoltaic systems. Cell miniaturization allows increasing the concentration at which efficiency peaks, facilita...

One of the most important problems in the theory of entire functions is the distribution of the zeros of entire functions. This is the first book to provide a systematic exposition of the bounds for the zeros of entire functions and variations of zeros under perturbations. The book also offers a new approach for investigating entire functions based on recent estimates for the resolvents of compact operators. Along with describing applications ...

What is the cultural politics of science, health, and disease in the U.S.? Bodies Out of Control explores this question through a series of case studies. From its in-depth examination of the discussions of sickle-cell anemia, schistosomiasis, and cancer in middle school and high school textbooks to its analysis of the news coverage of the anthrax attacks of 2001, the book reveals the entanglements of science, colonialism, nationalism, and iden...

Natural disasters, terrorist attacks, financial collapses, and other crisis situations have occupied public attention to an unprecedented degree in recent years.

This book is a clear and comprehensive guide to the most common emergency situations of our day, giving succinct, practical advice on how best to avoid them if possible, h...

Directed by the great Jean Renoir, "La Grande Illusion" (1937) is the finest of all anti-war films and a cinematic masterwork. This title shows how, not content to register the world as it is, the film plays off competing historical possibilities against each other, facing the public with their responsibility to shape the future.
