    Abstract: On a summer morning in Canberra, Sue Phillips gave birth for the fourth time. Sue's husband was by her side, along with Lily, the baby's genetic mother. Labor was brief, but excruciating; and only minutes afterwards, Sue wrapped the newborn in a blanket and handed her over to Lily. What does it take to carry someone else's child? What does it feel like to give her up? Motivated by a strong desire to help, Sue first approached Lily after hearing about her health problems from a mutual friend. Facing a childless future, Lily and her husband were ecstatic, but Sue's surrogacy commitment was only

In the Napoleonic era Stockholm readjusted its priorities to establish itself as a centre of innovation, technical and social. While the city has suffered more than its f

Ausgehend von dieser Beobachtung interessiert die Frage, inwiefern dieser Wandel des Kommunikationsstils auch in der institutionellen, hierarchisch geprägten E-Mail-Kommunikation existent ist und zu einer Angleichung von Statusunterschieden führt. Am Beispiel der hochschulischen Kommunikation wird untersucht, wie der Status und die institutionelle Rolle sprachlich signalisiert werden.

    Abstract: Before Thomas Edison, light and fire were thought to be one and the same. Turns out, they were separate things altogether. This book takes a similar relationship, that of time and place, and shows how they, too, were once inseparable. Before the railroads necessitated the creation of Standard Time zones in 1883, time keeping was a local affair. Small towns set their own pace according to the rising and setting of the sun. Our sudden interconnectedness, both physically and through inventions like the telegraph, changed our concept of time and place forever. Here, historic preservationist Howard

At the same time, many commentators from all quarters argue that it is on the wane in this post-this or that world; or that if it isn't, it should be dismantled to free up organizations, enterprise, and innovation.But do we live in a more or less bureaucratic world? Do contemporary forms and means of communication undermine or modify bureaucracy, or does technology create new 'iron cages' and forms of control? If bureaucratic models of organization are abandoned, do we run risks of or

Torn between the world they were raised in and the life they aspire too, they hover between worlds, not quite accepted in either. Himself the son of a Brooklyn bricklayer, Lubrano informs his account with

    Abstract: Collected volume of studies on the stage representation of Jews in European theatre between 1830 and 1940. The way in which Jews are represented on the stage stretches between the poles of anti-Judaism and anti-Semitism on the one side and Jewish renaissance and Zionism on the other. The individual studies all consider the boundary conditions given by cultural and mental history. This volume is the first attempt to view both the spoken word and musical theatre from this point of view

    Abstract: By making use of general theories from the disciplines of anthropology, linguistics, media studies and semiotics, the book attempts to demystify Japanese culture as it has been hitherto presented in the West, and shows how such cultural forms as 'noodle westerns' and high-school baseball uphold the well-known ideologies of 'selflessness', 'diligence', 'compliance' and 'co-operation' typically associated with the Japanese. Ultimately, the book poses the question: are those whom we all the Japanese 'real' people in their own right, or merely a nation acting out a part written for them by Western

    Abstract: Is violence an intrinsic component of contemporary sport? How does violence within sport reflect upon the attitudes of wider society? In this landmark study of violence in and around contemporary sport, Kevin Young offers the first comprehensive sociological analysis of an issue of central importance within sport studies. The book explores organized and spontaneous violence, both on the field and off, and calls for a much broader definition of 'sports-related violence', to include issues as diverse as criminal behaviour by players, abuse within sport and exploitatory labor practices.

    Abstract: For snart hundrede år siden blev der ved en arkæologisk udgravning på Herjolfsnæs i Grønland gjort et sensationelt fund af tekstiler. Dette fund blev dengang betegnet som den største tekstil-historiske begivenhed i Europa. Heroppe højt mod nord havde man fulgt den europæiske mode ligesom tilfældet var sydpå i Europa. Med Herjolfsnæsfundet kunne man se velbevarede eksempler på middelalderens dragter, og se hvordan børn og voksne gik klædt for 8-900 år siden.Denne bog er en praktisk, og længe ventet bog for alle som vil sy sin egen nordbodragt.

During these years, language policies have sought to increase and reshape languages education in Australian schools, but have had only limited success in achieving their objectives. This means that Australia's extensive work in language policy has not yet guaranteed a secure place for languages within education. After a period of comparative neglect of langu

The development of exchanges and correspondence enabled feminism to pre-exist the word itself, which leads several contributors to ponder over its meaning as well as over the notion of inf

Recent studies indicate that an overwhelming majority of children and teenagers use the Internet, cell phones, and other mobile devices. Equipped with familiarity and unprecedented access, it is no wonder that adolescents consume, create, and share copious amounts of content. But is there a cost?

    Abstract: In this volume scholars from around the world focus on how a Bourdieusian stance can enable a powerful socicultural and cultural analysis of literacy education theory and practice and serve as an effective tool in analyzing relations of hierarchy and domination. Although there has been a growing body of Bourdieusian-inspired research in various sectors of education, this book is the first to present both theoretical and practical articulation of his ideas in the field of literacy education. It brings together three major clusters of work: Rethinking of the doxa of the social fields of language

    Abstract: The violence and neglect suffered by children today is a common subject of media attention and much political hand-wringing, not just in Britain but in other parts of the western world. As yet, however, there has been no attempt to explore this concern historically and look at how the boundary between good and bad parenting may have changed across time. This book attempts to fill the gap by examining the role of violence and neglect in the relations between parents/carers and children from the Bronze Age to the present. By demonstrating how the boundary between acceptable and unacceptable form

    Parallel Title: Print version Konservativ : Ohne Werte und Prinzipien ist kein Staat zu machen
    DDC: 306.26
    Keywords: Electronic books
    Abstract: Ob Migration oder Jugendkriminalität, Arbeitslosigkeit oder Finanzkrise: Roland Koch hat sich allen schwierigen Themen der Gesellschaft immer gestellt. Neben Sachverstand brauchen wir nach seiner Überzeugung auch verbindliche Werte und Tugenden, um die anstehenden Probleme zu lösen und die Gesellschaft zusammenzuhalten. Welche Veränderungen sind akzeptabel und notwendig? Welche gefährden unsere Gesellschaft? Dieses Buch ist ein zukunftsweisendes politisches Manifest, das klar Stellung bezieht und eine notwendige Debatte anstößt. "Konservative Politik verändert die Welt, beachtet dabei aber eine gesellschaftliche Statik von Werten und Traditionen. Es geht um patriotische Identifikation und die Bereitschaft der einzelnen Staatsbürger, Verantwortung zu übernehmen. Ohne diese Übereinstimmung ist ein Zerfallen der Zivilgesellschaft unvermeidlich." (Roland Koch)

    Abstract: Eugenics, racial thinking, and white supremacist attitudes influenced even the federal government's actions toward housing in the 20th century, dooming American cities to ghettoization. The Federal Housing Administration continued discriminatory housing policies even into the 1960s, long after civil rights legislation. This all-American tale is told through the prism of Baltimore, from its early suburbanization in the 1880s to the consequences of white flight after World War II, and into the first decade of the twenty-first century. The events are real, and so are the heroes and villains. Mr

    DDC: 398.210953
    Keywords: Electronic books
    Abstract: ""The Arabian Nights"" has become a synonym for the fabulous and the exotic. Every child is familiar with the stories of Aladdin, Sinbad the Sailor and Ali Baba. Yet very few people, even specialists in oriential literature, have a clear idea of when the book was written or what exactly it is. Far from being a batch of stories for children, ""The Arabian Nights"" contains hundreds of narratives of all kinds - fables, epics, erotica, debates, fairy tales, political allegories, mystical anecdotes and comedies. It is a labyrinth of stories within stories. Widely held in contempt in the Middle Eas

    Abstract: When ""Adorned in Dreams"" was first published in 1985, Angela Carter described the book as 'the best I have read on the subject, bar none'. Elizabeth Wilson traces the social and cultural history of fashion and its complex relationship to modernity. Wilson delights in the power of fashion to mark out identity or to subvert it and this brand new edition of her book follows recent developments to bring the story of fashionable dress up to date, exploring the grunge look inspired by bands like Nirvana, the 'boho chic' of the mid 90's, retro-dressing and the meanings of dress from the veil to Bec

    Abstract: The ability to communicate with people from diverse cultural backgrounds is becoming increasingly important. Many employers consider intercultural competence to be a key criterion for selecting qualified candidates. The authors discuss practical approaches for designing and conducting intercultural training, methodology, and evaluation procedures based on current research. They explore the intercultural factor within corporations, particularly as it relates to human resource development, negotiating, dealing with conflict and project management. Thoughts on developing an overall strategy for interculturality round off this first volume.

An excellent demonstration of the benefits of a new genre of ethnographic writing. It expands our understanding of the harsh world of Songhay mediums and sorcerers."-Bruce Kapferer, American Ethnologist "A vivid story that will appeal to a wide audience. . . . The voic

    DDC: 306.77
    Keywords: Electronic books
    Abstract: In this dramatic and compelling narrative, anthropologist Don Kulick follows the lives of a group of transgendered prostitutes (called travestis in Portuguese) in the Brazilian city Salvador. Travestis are males who, often beginning at ages as young as ten, adopt female names, clothing styles, hairstyles, and linguistic pronouns. More dramatically, they ingest massive doses of female hormones and inject up to twenty liters of industrial silicone into their bodies to create breasts, wide hips, and large thighs and buttocks. Despite such irreversible physiological changes, virtually no travesti

    Parallel Title: Print version Fishing, Foraging and Farming in the Bolivian Amazon
    DDC: 304.2
    Keywords: Electronic books
    Abstract: Empirical in character, this book analyses the society-nature interaction of the Tsimane', a rural indigenous community in the Bolivian Amazon. Following a common methodological framework, the material and energy flow (MEFA) approach, it gives a detailed account of the biophysical exchange relations the community entertains with its natural environment: the socio-economic use of energy, materials, land and time. Equally so, the book provides a deeper insight into the local base of sociometabolic transition processes and their inherent dynamics of change. The local community described in this p
