Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2005Charlemagne
Empire and society
by Edited by Joanna Story
The age of Charlemagne was a crucible for change in the history of Europe, bridging the divide between the medieval and the classical worlds and setting the political and cultural tone for centuries to come. This book focuses directly on the reign of Charlemagne, bringing together a wide range of approaches and sources from the diverse voices of fifteen of the top scholars of early medieval Europe. The contributors have taken a number of original aproaches to the subject, from the fields of archaeology and numismatics to thoroughly-researched essays on key historical texts. The essays are embedded in the scholarship of recent decades but also offer insights into new areas and new approaches for research. A full bibliography of works in English as well as key reading in European languages is provided, making the volume essential reading for experienced scholars as well as students new to the history of the early middle ages. ;

October 2024Nomos und Narrativ
Studien zur Theorie des Rechts
by Robert Cover, Benedict Vischer
Um den Sinn und die Kraft des Rechts zu erschließen, müssen wir weit über die formalen Bausteine staatlicher Rechtsordnungen hinausblicken. Ausgehend von der amerikanischen Bürgerrechtsbewegung und der jüdischen Rechtstradition erkunden Robert Covers bahnbrechende Essays die existenzielle Dichte rechtlicher Weltformung. Nachgezeichnet wird das Wechselspiel von Visionen, Narrativen, tätiger Hingabe und Gewalt, in dem eine unaufhebbare Vielfalt gesellschaftlicher Perspektiven um den Sinn des Rechts ringt. Kaum ein juristischer Autor hat in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten eine so breite interdisziplinäre Rezeption erfahren wie Cover. Mit diesem Band wird sein Werk nun erstmals in deutscher Sprache zugänglich gemacht.

PsychiatryIntoduction to Affect Phobia Therapy
by Dr. Quin van Dam
A fear of one’s own emotions can lead people to develop what has been termed emotion- or affect phobia. To deal with this specific kind of phobia, Affect Phobia Therapy (APT) has proven to be useful. In APT, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, and experimental techniques are combined to help the patient to learn to accept and manage emotions again. Research shows that especially people suffering from anxiety or depression and people with avoidant or dependent personality disorders benefit from this method. This book offers a practical explanation of this evidence-based therapeutic method. The eight chapters focus on all different aspects of APT and the underlying theoretical concepts are illustrated with example patient-therapist dialogues. Target Group: psychologists, psychotherapists, students

September 2011Die niederländische Jungfrau
Roman
by Marente de Moor, Helga van Beuningen
Sommer 1936. Janna, eine junge Fechterin, soll bei einem alten Freund ihres Vaters Jacq in die Lehre gehen. Von Maastricht aus reist sie über die Grenze nach Aachen. Hier lebt – verwundet und verbittert zurückgekehrt aus dem 1. Weltkrieg – Egon von Bötticher, ein wahrer Meister seiner Kunst. Auf einem einsamen Landgut, das er mit eiserner Hand regiert, unterrichtet er zwei Zwillingsbrüder und organisiert blutige Duelle für Studenten. In diese eigenartige Welt gerät Janna, deren Abneigung gegen den narbenübersäten Egon schon bald in Verliebtheit umschlägt. Welches Geheimnis aber gibt es zwischen ihm und ihrem Vater? Auf der Suche nach Antworten findet sie von Jacq an Egon adressierte Briefe und gerät immer tiefer hinein in die Rätselhaftigkeit des Vergangenen. Nach und nach bricht die Außenwelt in das Landgut ein, und es kommt zu einer dramatischen Auflösung. Bildreich und zugleich präzis zeichnet und koloriert Marente de Moor eine Zeit des Übergangs: Ein Mädchen reift zur Frau, ein Krieg deutet sich an, Unschuld verkehrt sich zu Schuld.

Business, Economics & LawNovember 2019Modern Day Slavery and Orphanage Tourism
by Joseph M Cheer, Leigh Mathews, Kathryn van Doore, Karen Flanagan
Orphanage tourism is the practice, in less developed contexts, where tourist interactions with 'orphaned' children are central to traveller itineraries and experience making. While being attractive to the desire of tourists and volunteers to 'do good' while travelling, underlining orphanage tourism is the fact that the vast majority of children (over 80%) in orphanage institutions are not orphans. Instead they are the victims of intentional attempts by poor families to give children access to education opportunities, and consistent and reliable nutrition. However, such desires are easily exploited, and there are limited means by which families are able to ascertain the veracity around whether children are definitely receiving the care they have been promised. Orphanages themselves are very often for-profit enterprises, where the commodification of good intentions cycle begins and becomes embedded in the tourism supply chain where children become attractions and the focus of tourist consumption, and orphanages become sites of tourism production.
