The Sociology of Space
In this book, the author develops a relational concept of space that encompasses social structure, the material world of objects and bodies, and the symbolic dimension of the social world. Löw’s guiding principle is the assumption that space emerges in the interplay between objects, structures and actions. Based on a critical discussion of classic theories of space, Löw develops a new dynamic theory of space that accounts for the relational context in which space is constituted. This innovative view on the interdependency of material, social, and symbolic dimensions of space also permits a new perspective on architecture and urban development.
Global Gender Research
Readers of Global Gender Research will learn to compare and contrast feminist concerns globally, gain familiarity with the breadth of gender research, and understand the national contexts that produced it. This volume provides an in-depth comparative picture of the current state of feminist sociological gender and women's studies research in four regions of the world—Africa, Asia, Latin America/the Caribbean, and Europe—as represented by many countries. The introductory essay to each region explains how social science research on women and/or gender issues has been shaped by economics, politics, and culture, and by trends that are simultaneously local, regional, and global. It familiariz...
Todgeschwiegen
Drei Familien und ein Pastor leben seit fast dreißig Jahren in einem goldenen Käfig, gebaut aus Lügen, Zwängen, Abhängigkeiten und Heuchelei. Bis einer von ihnen stirbt. Dann bröckelt das Gebilde und die dunklen Geheimnisse kommen ans Licht. Die junge Kommissarin, Josefine Herbst, wird nach Emden geschickt, um die Umstände des Todes zu klären. Sie trifft vor Ort auf den forschen Polizisten, Friedjof Winter, der nicht bereit ist, die Ermittlungen der Kollegin allein zu überlassen. Doch noch bevor sie sich zusammenraufen können, gibt es einen weiteren Toten...
Beyond Camps and Forced Labour
This book presents a selection of the newest research on themes amplified by the sixth annual Beyond Camps and Forced Labour conference on the post-Holocaust period, including ‘displaced persons’, reception and resettlement, exiles and refugees, trials and justice, reparation and restitution, and memory and testimony. The chapters highlight new, transnational approaches and findings based on underused and newly opened archives, including compensation files of the British government; on historical actors often on the periphery within English-language historiography, including Romanian and Hungarian survivors; and new approaches such as the spatial history of Drancy, as well as geographies that have undergone less scrutiny, for example, Tehran, Chile, Mexico and Cyprus. This volume represents the vibrant and varied state of research on the aftermath of the Holocaust.
Tod gelacht
Eine tote nackte Frau wird an einem kalten Herbsttag blutleer am kleinen Leuchtturm an der Mole des Emder Außenhafens gefunden. Als die Kommissarin Josefine Herbst, gemeinsam mit ihrem Ex-Mann und Kollegen Friedjof Winter, den ersten Blick auf die Tote wirft, hat sie das Gefühl an etwas erinnert zu werden, was ihr aber partout nicht einfallen will. Erst die Recherchen ihres Emder Ermittlungsteams bringen sie letztlich darauf, wann und wo sie von einer ähnlichen Tat schon mal gehört hatte.
String Theory and M-Theory
String theory is one of the most exciting and challenging areas of modern theoretical physics. This book guides the reader from the basics of string theory to recent developments. It introduces the basics of perturbative string theory, world-sheet supersymmetry, space-time supersymmetry, conformal field theory and the heterotic string, before describing modern developments, including D-branes, string dualities and M-theory. It then covers string geometry and flux compactifications, applications to cosmology and particle physics, black holes in string theory and M-theory, and the microscopic origin of black-hole entropy. It concludes with Matrix theory, the AdS/CFT duality and its generalizations. This book is ideal for graduate students and researchers in modern string theory, and will make an excellent textbook for a one-year course on string theory. It contains over 120 exercises with solutions, and over 200 homework problems with solutions available on a password protected website for lecturers at www.cambridge.org/9780521860697.

Women and Distance Education
This book provides valuable insights into the situation of women in distance education around the world. A wide variety of evidence from different countries supports the conclusion that open and distance learning has the potential to provide equal opportunities in higher and continuing education and that these are currently being missed. The author provides conclusive evidence that distance education, while involving a degree of risk to the stability of families and relationships, etc., nevertheless offers women a chance which, on balance, is worth taking. The author says that it is up to distance education policy makers to provide a framework for women students which will limit the risks and maximise the opportunities. Drawing on fascinating case study material, this book presents vital information for these policy makers.

The Pleasure of a Surplus Income
Published in Association with the German Historical Institute, Washington, D.C. At a time when part-time jobs are ubiquitous, it is easy to forget that they are a relatively new phenomenon. This book explores the reasons behind the introduction of this specific form of work in West Germany and shows how it took root, in both norm and law, in factories, government authorities, and offices as well as within families and the lives of individual women. The author covers the period from the early 1950s, a time of optimism during the first postwar economic upswing, to 1969, the culmination of the legislative institutionalization of part-time work.
