A challenge, a mission, a hope for a better life for all in an embattled country. This was the author's vision in The Other's Other. The challenge turned out to be greater and different than imagined, the mission more exasperating, the hope, more complicated. The book offers a new perspective on the problematic encounter between Jewish and Arab Israelis through the experience of a Jewish lecturer at an Arab college in an Arab city in Israel. T...

Umkhonto weSizwe, Spear of the Nation, was arguably the last of the great liberation armies of the twentieth century-but it never got to "march triumphant into Pretoria." MK-as it was known-was the armed wing of the African National Congress, South Africa's liberation movement, that challenged the South African apartheid government.

Dorianne Laux's fifth collection of poetry peels back time to the summer of love and the Vietnam War. Her keen hindsight uncovers the humanity at the center of conflict with language that goes straight to the heart. This work stands as an elegy for the loss of innocence, an homage to the glimmer underneath the urban grunge, and a love song to the imperfections that unite and divide us. Laux possesses what Tony Hoagland calls "the brave art of ...

Description: Why did Jesus have to die? Was it to appease a wrathful God's demand for punishment? Does that mean Jesus died to save us from God? How could someone ever truly love or trust a God like that? How can that ever be called "Good News"? It's questions like these that make so many people want to have nothing to do with Christianity. Healing the Gospel challenges the assumption that the Christian understanding of justice is rooted in a ...

How did Gatorade revitalise itself in the wake of Red Bull and Starbucks? How did OpenTable come to be? What makes one company thrive while others languish in mediocrity? There's no doubt hard work is involved, but Soren Kaplan shows how you can't do it by simply creating a big vision and implementing a set plan. In his trailblazing debut, Kaplan gives business leaders the tools to do exactly what they're taught to avoid: embrace surprise - th...

Die Arbeit analysiert die Probleme, die bei sogenannten Internal Investigations, d.h. dem umfassenden Einsatz von Privatpersonen zur systematischen Aufklärung von Verdachtsmomenten innerhalb eines Unternehmens, auftreten können. Dabei werden auch die US-rechtlichen Bezüge herausgearbeitet sowie die Rolle der US-amerikanischen Börsenaufsichtsbehörde (SEC) beleuchtet. Den Kern der Arbeit bildet die Frage nach der rechtlichen Zulässigkeit der Erm...

Gegenstand der Arbeit sind die Aufklärungspflichten des Arbeitgebers im Arbeitsverhältnis. Bedarf an einer wissenschaftlichen Untersuchung besteht in mehrfacher Hinsicht: Zum einen fehlt es an einem gesetzlich normierten Tatbestand der spontan entstehenden und damit wenig transparenten Aufklärungspflichten. Zum anderen kristallisieren sich bei Sichtung von Literatur und Rechtsprechung nur vereinzelt systematische und dogmatische Ansätze heraus...

Die Arbeit untersucht die Auswirkungen der Verjährung auf die Bürgschaft, die Gesamtschuld und den Schuldbeitritt. Anlass für die Untersuchung gaben die mit der Schuldrechtsreform im Jahre 2002 einhergehenden Änderungen des Verjährungsrechts, deren Folgen bisher nur fragmentarisch erörtert worden sind. In drei Abschnitten widmet sich der Verfasser eingehend dem Verjährungsbeginn, der Durchsetzbarkeit und den Regressansprüchen. Nach ausführlich...

This book analyses whether improving social competence via e-learning is possible at all. Therefore, an e-learning program for human rights education is developed and evaluated with pre- and post-tests. Social competences as well as human rights education are often divided into areas of «cognition», «attitudes» and «behaviour». In order to achieve the pedagogical goals, all three areas have to be considered. In contrast to the cognitive area, ...

L'ouvrage renouvelle l'étude de l'euphémisme par une approche pragmatico-discursive. En particulier, il examine les dimensions énonciatives et socioculturelles de cette figure. De plus, il en clarifie les relations avec le tabou, la politesse et la langue de bois. Enfin, il approfondit la diversité des usages euphémiques écrits ou oraux dans une perspective comparative entre le français et l'espagnol.

A wide spectrum of events are covered ranging from floods, the tsunami of 2004, earthquakes and landslides to such long-term processes as the decline of pastures or coastlines. The diversity of the case studies opens up questions on method and the conceptualization of terms. Many authors, among them anthropologists, sociologists, geographers and cultural psychologists engage in definition of crisis, disaster and catastrophe in order to differe...
