Time to Listen to Children
This practical guide to communicating with children stresses the importance of learning to listen. Contributors give accounts of their work in education, social services, health, law and voluntary organizations.
Ethics in Light of Childhood
Childhood faces humanity with its own deepest and most perplexing questions. An ethics that truly includes the world’s childhoods would transcend pre-modern traditional communities and modern rational autonomy with a postmodern aim of growing responsibility. It would understand human relations in a poetic rather than universalistic sense as openly and interdependently creative. As a consequence, it would produce new understandings of moral being, time, and otherness, as well as of religion, rights, narrative, families, obligation, and power. Ethics in Light of Childhood fundamentally reimagines ethical thought and practice in light of the experiences of the third of humanity who are childr...
Corporate Citizenship and New Governance
This volume unites the perspective of business ethics with approaches from strategic management, economics, law, political science, and with philosophical reflections on the theory of Corporate Citizenship and New Governance. In view of the internationalization of the (global) economy and the free movement of capital, new instruments of political coordination are needed. These societal changes trigger the two closely intertwined challenges examined in this book. The first challenge relates to the role and the self-conceptualization of business firms as corporate citizens within society. Companies are increasingly expected to assume the social responsibility of helping to shape the rule-framework of globalization. The second challenge refers to the form of the engagement in local, national and international processes of governance. To more credibly and effectively tackle these challenges, corporate actors are ever more participating in rule-setting processes together with civil society organizations and the government.
The Placenta
This book is a comprehensive work that spans the gap between basic knowledge and clinical significance of the placenta. Starting from normal development, it deals with the histopathology of the placenta, leads the reader on to functional disorders and insufficiencies and explains their effects on mother and child. Based on this, the authors convey in a practical and user-friendly manner everything worth knowing about diagnostics and therapy and provide valuable information for the optimal care of the pregnant patient.
Anglo-Saxon Manuscripts
Anglo-Saxon Manuscripts is the first publication to list every surviving manuscript or manuscript fragment written in Anglo-Saxon England between the seventh and the eleventh centuries or imported into the country during that time. Each of the 1,291 entries in Helmut Gneuss and Michael Lapidge's Bibliographical Handlist not only details the origins, contents, current location, script, and decoration of the manuscript, but also provides bibliographic entries that list facsimiles, editions, linguistic analyses, and general studies relevant to that manuscript. A general bibliography, designed to provide full details of author-date references cited in the individual entries, includes more than 4,000 items. Compiled by two of the field's greatest living scholars, the Gneuss-Lapidge Bibliographical Handlist stands to become the most important single-volume research tool to appear in the field since Greenfield and Robinson's Bibliography of Publications on Old English Literature. Their achievement in the present book will endure for many decades and serve as a catalyst for new research across several disciplines.
Sports around the World [4 volumes]
This multivolume set is much more than a collection of essays on sports and sporting cultures from around the world: it also details how and why sports are played wherever they exist, and examines key charismatic athletes from around the world who have transcended their sports. Sports Around the World: History, Culture, and Practice provides a unique, global overview of sports and sports cultures. Unlike most works of this type, this book provides both essays that examine general topics, such as globalization and sport, international relations and sport, and tourism and sport, as well as essays on sports history, culture, and practice in world regions—for example, Latin America and the Car...
KMS
Munich-based group KMS design as a team, whether for full scale three-dimensional projects such as their highly-acclaimed Audi Museum Mobile, or their trade fair stand for Lamborghini, or their graphic identity work for clients such as O2, Pro Sieben, Loewe and Evotec OAI, or their involvement with cultural institutions such as the Villa Stuck and the new Pinakothek der Moderne. But rather than showcasing success, this book looks within the design group, at the interactions and processes that underlie successful design, the blending of logic and magic that makes KMS a dream team in design.
25 Jahre Tanzsport in Schermbeck
25 Jahre Tanzsport in Schermbeck. Liebe Tanzsportfreunde, zu Beginn fallen mir gleich zwei Sprichwörter ein ."Kinder wie die Zeit vergeht " und "aus Kindern werden Leute".Beides passt wunderbar in unser Jubiläumsjahr. Wie schnell sind doch diese 25 Jahre vergangen. Einige Hundert Kinder haben das Tanzen bei uns erlernt und kleine oder auch größere Erfolge im Turniertanz für sich verbuchen können. Teilweise wurde auch das anfängliche "Hobby " zum Beruf oder zur Berufung. Aus den damaligen Kindern wurden junge Erwachsene die jetzt zum Teil auch schon wieder Kinder haben. Die nächste Generation ist da, wie wunderbar! Dieses Buch zeigt einen Auszug von all dem, was in 25 Jahren Tanzsport Geschichte geschrieben hat. Viel Spaß beim blättern.
