Italy’s Eighteenth Century
In the age of the Grand Tour, foreigners flocked to Italy to gawk at its ruins and paintings, enjoy its salons and cafés, attend the opera, and revel in their own discovery of its past. But they also marveled at the people they saw, both male and female. In an era in which castrati were "rock stars," men served women as cicisbei, and dandified Englishmen became macaroni, Italy was perceived to be a place where men became women. The great publicity surrounding female poets, journalists, artists, anatomists, and scientists, and the visible roles for such women in salons, academies, and universities in many Italian cities also made visitors wonder whether women had become men. Such images, of course, were stereotypes, but they were nonetheless grounded in a reality that was unique to the Italian peninsula. This volume illuminates the social and cultural landscape of eighteenth-century Italy by exploring how questions of gender in music, art, literature, science, and medicine shaped perceptions of Italy in the age of the Grand Tour.
The Relationship between Expatriation and Career Success
Experts are progressively discovering the crucial role of globally mobile talent in today’s competitive business environment and have called the task of securing and retaining these employees the greatest international human resource challenge to date. While many employees willingly accept international work assignments believing in a positive impact on their careers, high-quality research on global mobility and career success is lacking, leaving thousands of ambitious individuals at risk of making shortsighted career decisions. Providing empirical research in this field to better inform employees, employers, human resource practitioners, fellow researchers and academics lies at the core of this work.

The situation of Chinese students in Germany
Very few studies have explored in detail the experiences of Chinese students at German universities, this study is an attempt to create a balance.

Die berufliche Situation von Pädagoginnen und Pädagogen
Pädagogik studieren – und was kommt danach? Was machst Du damit? Womit verdienst Du Dein Geld? Mit diesen und ähnlichen Fragen sehen sich Pädagog/innen häufig konfrontiert. In diesem Kontext beschreiben Titel wie »Ungeliebte Kinder auf dem Arbeitsmarkt« oder »Taxifahrer Dr. phil.« scheinbar prekäre Arbeitsverhältnisse von Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaftler/innen. Diese Studie erforscht Arbeitsbedingungen und berufliche Tätigkeiten von (promovierten) Absolvent/innen des Pädagogik-Studiengangs der LMU München der Jahre 2003 bis 2012 sowie deren Übergangsphase nach dem Abschluss und identifiziert relevante Einflüsse auf den beruflichen Erfolg. Insbesondere die Promotionsphase und die pädagogischen Aufgaben mit Doktortitel rücken in den Fokus. Die Ergebnisse zeigen ein äußerst vielfältiges Berufsfeld für Pädagog/innen, die sich trotz teilweise schwieriger Bedingungen insgesamt sehr zufrieden über ihre berufliche Situation äußern.
Der unsichtbare Wohnraum
Viele Menschen suchen Wohnraum, doch Neubau löst das Problem nicht: Er ist teuer, verbraucht Fläche und belastet das Klima. Eine Lösung verspricht der »unsichtbare Wohnraum« - ungenutzte Zimmer älterer Personen nach Auszug der Kinder. Daniel Fuhrhop untersucht das Potenzial der Wohnsuffizienz anhand sozialer Programme wie der Vermittlung von Wohnpaaren nach dem Modell »Wohnen für Hilfe«, dem Umbau von Wohnungen, dem Umzug sowie sozialer Wohnraumvermittlung. Sein Fazit: Insgesamt können so jährlich 100.000 Wohnungen entstehen - ohne Klimabelastung und mit der Chance auf Nähe und Nachbarschaft.
The Complex City: Social and Built Approaches and Methods
'The Complex City: Social and Built Approaches and Methods' explores different ways of understanding the city. The social city approach proceeds from the ground-up, it focuses on human interactions shaped by economic and environmental processes. The built city method looks through a top-down lens, examining policy and planning for buildings and infrastructure, including utilities and energy networks. This volume is different from other city anthologies in that it explores them through their differences, by presenting each chapter in one of the two categories. While there is invariably an overlap between the two areas, they are distinct positions. In doing so the book identifies how, despite ...
