The Relationship between Language and Spatial Ability
This work investigates how different fifth-grade students solve spatial-verbal tasks and the role of language in this process. Based on a synthesis of theoretical foundations and methodological issues for supporting the relationship between spatial ability and language, this present study examines and classifies strategies used by students as well as the obstacles they encounter when solving spatial tasks in the reconstruction method.
Light Within Despair
How does a European woman in the first half of the twentieth century use her capacity in a male-oriented business world? How can Mizzi find a way to prove herself, when she is forever ridiculed by her family? How can she allow herself to fall in love, when the men, who propose to her, do not suit her domineering father? No matter how difficult, Mizzi has to find a way to overcome the hurdles, thrown in her path. Experiencing WWI as a young girl has steeled her to face the arrival of WWII.

The book presents the Proceedings of the 13th International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME-13) and is based on the presentations given at the 13th International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME-13). ICME-13 took place from 24th- 31st July 2016 at the University of Hamburg in Hamburg (Germany). The congress was hosted by the Society of Didactics of Mathematics (Gesellschaft für Didaktik der Mathematik - GDM) and took place under the auspices of the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI). ICME-13 brought together about 3.500 mathematics educators from 105 countries, additionally 250 teachers from German...
Zeichen und Sprache im Mathematikunterricht
Dieser Band stellt unterschiedliche Aspekte von und Überlegungen zum Lehren und Lernen von Mathematik aus der Position der Peirce ́schen Semiotik vor. Dabei zeigen die hier vorliegenden Beiträge die Flexibilität dieses Werkzeuges sowohl aus praktischer als auch aus theoretischer Sicht. Das Themenspektrum ist vielfältig: Es finden sich Texte zu Fragen der Visualisierung von Mathematik in unterschiedlichen Schulstufen, Gedanken zur Gebärdensprache, zur Gestenforschung oder zum mehrsprachigen Mathematikunterricht. Ein Beitrag beschreibt das Sichtbare als Mittel der Kreativität zur Konstruktion von neuem Wissen, während ein weiterer der Rekonstruktion diagrammatischen Schließens nachspürt. Darüber hinaus wird eine Perspektive auf das Lernen von Mathematik vorgestellt, welche ohne einengende ontologische Annahmen auskommt. Der vorliegende Band ist bereits der dritte, der vom GDM Arbeitskreis „Semiotik, Zeichen und Sprache in der Mathematikdidaktik“ gestaltet wird. Alle drei Werke eignen sich sowohl für MathematikdidaktikerInnen wie auch für Lehrkräfte, die einen Einblick in die vielfältige Verwendung von Zeichen und Sprache im Mathematikunterricht gewinnen möchten.
Screening Transcendence
During the 1930s, Austrian film production companies developed a process to navigate the competing demands of audiences in Nazi Germany and those found in broader Western markets. In Screening Transcendence, film historian Robert Dassanowsky explores how Austrian filmmakers during the Austrofascist period (1933–1938) developed two overlapping industries: "Aryanized" films for distribution in Germany, its largest market, and "Emigrantenfilm," which employed émigré and Jewish talent that appealed to international audiences. Through detailed archival research in both Vienna and the United States, Dassanowsky reveals what was culturally, socially, and politically at stake in these two simultaneous and overlapping film industries. Influenced by French auteurism, admired by Italian cinephiles, and ardently remade by Hollywood, these period Austrian films demonstrate a distinctive regional style mixed with transnational influences. Combining brilliant close readings of individual films with thoroughly informed historical and cultural observations, Dassanowsky presents the story of a nation and an industry mired in politics, power, and intrigue on the brink of Nazi occupation.
Modern German Political Drama, 1980-2000
In addition to established playwrights such as Heinar Kipphardt, Franz Xaver Kroetz, and Heiner Muller, the book looks at the younger generation of playwrights not yet fully taken into account by research: writers such as Oliver Bukowski, Dea Loher, Marius von Mayenburg, Albert Ostermaier, and Theresia Walser. It gives an overview of the most important developments in recent German political drama through analysis of more than forty contemporary plays, clearly tracing connections between politics and theater. Each chapter is preceded by a short introduction into the respective political topic, providing the framework for the study of drama as a political tool and making it easy for students to see the multiple ways in which plays respond to political change. This book will be of interest to students and scholars in drama and theater studies and German literature."--BOOK JACKET.
Wax Museum Movies
Spanning over a century of cinema and comprised of 127 films, this book analyzes the cinematic incarnations of the "uncanniest place on earth"--wax museums. Nothing is as it seems at a wax museum. It is a place of wonder, horror and mystery. Will the figures come to life at night, or are they very much dead with corpses hidden beneath their waxen shells? Is the genius hand that molded them secretly scarred by a terrible tragedy, longing for revenge? Or is it a sinner's sanctum, harboring criminals with countless places to hide in plain sight? This chronological analysis includes essential behind the scenes information in addition to authoritative research comparing the creation of "real" wax figures to the "reel" ones seen onscreen. Publicly accessible or hidden away in a maniac's lair, wax museums have provided the perfect settings for films of all genres to thrillingly play out on the big screen since the dawn of cinema.
