View Rights PortalAls Ferdinand Lassalle im Mai 1863 den Allgemeinen Deutschen Arbeiterverein gründete, tat er dies noch in einer anderen Welt. 150 Jahre später kann die deutsche Sozialdemokratie große Erfolge vorweisen. Angesichts der Globalisierung, Individualisierung und des Wandels der Arbeitswelt steht sie jedoch vor komplexen Herausforderungen, für die sie überzeugende Antworten entwickeln muss. In diesem Band denken kluge Köpfe aus Wissenschaft und Politik darüber nach, wie eine »Gute Gesellschaft« heute aussehen könnte und auf welchen Wegen sie sich realisieren lässt. Mit Beiträgen von Sebastian Dullien, Colin Crouch, Andrea Nahles, Julian Nida-Rümelin, Gesine Schwan u. v. a.

What does money really stand for? How can the abstractions of high finance be made visible? Show me the money documents how the financial world has been imagined in art, illustration, photography and other visual media over the last three centuries in Britain and the United States. It tells the story of how artists have grappled with the increasingly intangible and self-referential nature of money, from the South Sea Bubble to our current crisis. Show me the money sets out the history and politics of representations of finance through five essays by academic experts and curators, and is interspersed with provocative think pieces by notable public commentators on finance and art. The book, and the exhibition on which it is based, explore a wide range of images, from satirical eighteenth-century prints by William Hogarth and James Gillray to works by celebrated contemporary artists such as Andreas Gursky and Molly Crabapple. It also charts the development of an array of financial visualisations, including stock tickers and charts, newspaper illustrations, bank adverts and electronic trading systems.

Sommer 1980. Die Geschichte »zwischen dem sehr jungen Yann Andréa Steiner und dieser Frau, die Bücher machte und die alt war und allein wie er« beginnt in Trouville. Behutsam skizziert Duras die aufkeimende Liebe, die den Tod von Anfang an in sich birgt. Parallel dazu erzählt sie von der unmöglichen Liebe zwischen dem kleinen Samuel Steiner und seiner Betreuerin Johanna Goldberg. Samuels Schwester wurde von den Nazis ermordet, seine Eltern deportiert. Yann Andréa wird zu Yann Andréa Steiner, und nicht allein der gemeinsame Name drückt die mythische Verwandtschaft zu Samuel, dem ebenfalls viel jüngeren Geliebten, aus. Duras' Erzählung von ihrer Liebe und der Angst darum schreitet mit dem Rhythmus der Wellen, des Windes und des Regens fort. Die Gespräche mit Yann führen zu einer weiteren Figur: Theodora Kats, eine in den Konzentrationslagern umgekommene junge Frau, deren Geschichte Duras nie hat aufschreiben können. Mir unbeschreiblicher Sogwirkung verknüpft die Duras Fiktion und Realität und macht aus »Yann Andréa Steiner« eine literarische Liebeserklärung an den langjährigen Gefährten.
In unendlich vielen Formen sind wir dem Warten ausgeliefert: Man wartet auf andere, auf eine Antwort, auf den Richtigen, auf den Befund, auf eine Nachricht, auf das Ende der Schmerzen, auf die Sportergebnisse, auf das Ende des Regens, auf den nächsten Tag, auf die Geburt des Kindes ... Andrea Köhler beobachtet und beschreibt, welche Tücken, Glücksmomente oder Überraschungen in Situationen des Wartens, der Pause und der Langsamkeit stecken. Sie verschafft dem Warten einen Raum, der so viel reicher und weiter ist als der, den ihm die Notwendigkeit beimißt.
During the past twenty-five years, biotechnology has revolutionized agricultural research. The enormous potential, together with a landmark decision by the US Supreme Court to allow the patenting of genetically-engineered organisms has encouraged private sector companies to invest in agricultural biotechnology research programmes. This has contributed to a rapid growth in interest in intellectual property rights as applied to this subject.The first edition of this book was published in 1998. Now fully revised and updated it presents definitive information on intellectual property law in a simplified form (with a minimum of legal jargon). New chapters have been added which cover plant variety protection and farmers rights, and additional case studies.
The first edition of this book, published in 1991 with the title The Common Agricultural Policy and the World Economy, was well received as a timely analysis of this fast-moving but important subject. However, several major developments, such as general CAP reform, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), expansion of the European Union, and relationships with eastern Europe, have justified the need for a new edition. As a result, the book has been thoroughly updated, with some completely new chapters added and others replaced. It has also be rewritten with a greater emphasis on the needs of students for a well-integrated, comprehensive textbook.
Sustainable and integrated regeneration in the context of culture and tourism is explored for the first time within this book. The text is enhanced by international case studies.

Elena Ferrante hat ein literarisches Spiel gespielt. Sie hat sich ein Jahr lang, Woche für Woche, vom britischen Guardian eine Liste mit allen erdenklichen Themen schicken lassen, sie hat sich dann eines ausgesucht und spontan darüber geschrieben. Zufällige Erfindungen versammelt die 52 erstaunlichen Kolumnen, die auf diese Weise entstanden sind: Es geht um erste Liebe, um Klimawandel, es geht darum, wie misslich es ist, fotografiert zu werden, was es bedeutet, wenn die eigenen Bücher verfilmt werden, es geht um die Frage, warum man Partys eigentlich immer als Letzte verlässt – und ob es eine Formel für Lebensglück gibt. Elena Ferrante ist »eine der größten Romanschriftstellerinnen unserer Zeit« (New York Times), und sie beherrscht auch die kurzen Formen meisterhaft. Zufällige Erfindungen, das sind suggestive Stücke voller Witz, Hintersinn und beiläufiger Erleuchtungen – wunderbar illustriert von Andrea Ucini.
