Erfahrung und Geschichte sind eng miteinander verknüpft: Jede neue Erfahrung hat ihre eigene Geschichte und kann überhaupt nur vor dem Hintergrund historisch gewachsener Erfahrungsdispositionen auftreten. Und auch die Geschichtsschreibung unterliegt dem Anspruch, ihre retrospektiven Konstruktionen mit den Erfahrungen der historischen Akteure abzugleichen und sie durch die fortgesetzte Prüfung ihres Empiriegehalts als Rekonstruktionen auszuweis...

In view of the considerable number of recent publications devoted to various applications of Cognitive Linguistics, the book focusses on fields that have not been extensively dealt with within the CL framework. The book gathers presentations that deal with fields of application as defined in the introduction to the first volume in the ACL series (Kristiansen et al 2006). The articles in the first section ("From loop to cycle") are defining pap...

Intended as the text for a sequence of advanced courses, this book covers major topics in theoretical statistics in a concise and rigorous fashion. The discussion assumes a background in advanced calculus, linear algebra, probability, and some analysis and topology. Measure theory is used, but the notation and basic results needed are presented in an initial chapter on probability, so prior knowledge of these topics is not essential. The prese...

Science education at school level worldwide faces three perennial problems that have become more pressing of late. These are to a considerable extent interwoven with concerns about the entire school curriculum and its reception by students. The rst problem is the increasing intellectual isolation of science from the other subjects in the school curriculum. Science is too often still taught didactically as a collection of pre-determined truths ...

Recently, however, a field called ‘ontology’ has become part of the rapidly growing research industry in information technology. The two fields have more in common than just their name.Theory and Applications of Ontology is a two-volume anthology that aims to further an informed discussion about the re...

A sophisticated comparison of U.S. and Cuban reactions to Cuban revolutionary films

Rethinking the history of women's writing and literary history itself, this new volume examines the diversity of early women's writing (from verse and songs to household records and recipes), offering a new paradigm for understanding women's shaping roles in the literary, religious, and political movements of the sixteenth century.

It is widely accepted that the journey from youth to adulthood is a complex ongoing process. Not as clearly recognized is how goal directed and shared that journey actually is. Transition to Adulthood: Action, Projects, and Counseling brings both of these dimensions front and center in a contemporary practical perspective for viewing youth development, and for supporting young people as they attain adulthood. Focusing on the period from the en...

Sie soll den Hunger nehmen, den Durst stillen, den Magen füllen, den Zahn reinigen, Schlaf und Verdauung fördern und die Wangen röten. Die Italiener stellen an ihre Suppen hohe Ansprüche. Ein wenig viel auf einmal, könnte man meinen. Doch der Alleskönner Suppe schafft es. Das Image der Suppe war jedoch nicht immer makellos, wie man in Ingrid Haslingers Buch erfährt. Historische und politische Ereignisse spielten ihr ebenso übel mit wie wechse...

Zuletzt wird jedoch sehr intensiv darüber diskutiert, ob und inwiefern die EU selbst eine aktive Globalisierungs- und auch Weltordnungspolitik praktiziert. Diese Studie arbeitet sehr gründlich, theoretisch-konzeptionell und empirisch heraus, dass dies in beträchtlichem Umfang inzwischen der Fall ist. Nicht zuletzt werden die Kerne...

Transnational spatial relations offer a key point from which to study the geographies of contemporary globalization. This book assesses the possible cross-fertilization between two of the most notable analytical frameworks in this area: the world city network (WCN) framework, in which researchers have studied the emergence of a globalized urban system, and secondly, the global commodity chain (GCC) framework, in which researchers have scrutini...
