Immanent Realism
In many respects, Brentano conducted pioneering analyses of problems that are currently in the focus of cognitive science and artificial intelligence: from the problem of reference to that of representation, from the problem of categorial classification to ontology and the cognitive analysis of natural language. Brentano, in fact, dealt with and wrote on questions concerning the auditory stream (temporal apprehension), visual perception (continua, point of view, three-dimensional construction of phenomenal objects), intentionality, imagery, and conceptual space, considering these pertaining to a metaphysical enquiry. Moreover, Brentano displayed clear awareness of the complexity of problems ...
The Reshaping of America's Game
The past 25 years have been the most dynamic in the history of Major League Baseball, from the league’s recovery after the players’ strike to the growth of analytics and the rise of new World Series contenders. In The Reshaping of America’s Game: Major League Baseball after the Players' Strike, Bryan Soderholm-Difatte reflects on the factors and challenges that have changed major league baseball since the 1994-1995 players’ strike. He examines the consolidation of power in the Commissioner’s Office, the influx of Latin and Asian players, the boom in new stadiums, the influence of analytics in reshaping how rosters are constructed, the relationship between managers and the front off...

"Hatching Ruin," Or, Mark Twain's Road to Bankruptcy
In "Hatching Ruin," Charles H. Gold provides a complete description of Samuel L. Clemens's business relationships with Charles L. Webster and James W. Paige during the 1880s. Gold analyzes how these relationships affected Clemens as a person and an artist, most notably in A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. The 1880s were a time when Samuel Clemens was more businessman than author. Clemens wanted to be rich. From an early age, he had dreamed of wealth. Suspicious of his previous publisher, Clemens started a publishing company and placed Charles L. Webster, who was married to his niece, at the head of it. He also invested large sums of money with James Paige, who was developing a typ...
Repairing the Athlete's Image
Repairing the Athlete’s Image: Studies in Sports Image Restoration, edited by Joseph R. Blaney, Lance Lippert, and J. Scott Smith, offers twenty-one case studies and conceptual frameworks about athletes and their organizations as they attempt to mitigate the effects of malfeasance. Employing traditional Image Restoration Theory (IRT) approaches to athletic communication (and other innovative approaches), the contributors to this volume add to our understanding of which communicative strategies work best for athletes when their reputations are sullied. This comprehensive text presents case studies of varying athletes, sports, and public relations scenarios with prescriptive advice for those...
Schulleiter und Personalauswahl
Bildungsadministrative Prozesse der Verantwortungsverlagerung von der Ebene der Schulaufsichtsbehörden auf die Ebene der einzelnen Schulen führen dazu, dass Schulleitungen im Bereich des Personalmanagements auch Personalauswahlentscheidungen in eigener Verantwortung treffen. Die Arbeit verfolgt die Fragestellung, nach welchen Kriterien Schulleiter Personal auswählen. Dazu werden im Rahmen eines Modellversuchs 23 Schulleiter im problemzentrierten Experteninterview befragt. Die qualitative Auswertung stellt einen Wandel bei der Relevanzeinschätzung von Kriterien für die Personalauswahl an Berufsschulen fest, diskutiert diesen im Kontext und zeigt Optimierungspotential bei den Personalauswahlinstrumenten auf.
Mark Twain And The South
The South was many things to Mark Twain: boyhood home, testing ground for manhood, and the principal source of creative inspiration. Although he left the South while a young man, seldom to return, it remained for him always a haunting presence, alternately loved and loathed. Mark Twain and the South was the first book on this major yet largely ignored aspect of the private life of Samuel Clemens and one of the major themes in his writing from 1863 until his death. Arthur G. Pettit clearly demonstrates that Mark Twain's feelings on race and region moved in an intelligible direction from the white Southern point of view he was exposed to in his youth to self-censorship, disillusionment, and, ultimately, a deeply pessimistic and sardonic outlook in which the dream of racial brotherhood was forever dead. Approaching his subject as a historian with a deep appreciation for literature, he bases his study on a wide variety of Mark Twain's published and unpublished works, including his notebooks, scrapbooks, and letters. An interesting feature of this illuminating work is an examination of Clemens's relations with the only two black men he knew well in his adult years.
Metternich
A compelling new biography that recasts the most important European statesman of the first half of the nineteenth century, famous for his alleged archconservatism, as a friend of realpolitik and reform, pursuing international peace. Metternich has a reputation as the epitome of reactionary conservatism. Historians treat him as the archenemy of progress, a ruthless aristocrat who used his power as the dominant European statesman of the first half of the nineteenth century to stifle liberalism, suppress national independence, and oppose the dreams of social change that inspired the revolutionaries of 1848. Wolfram Siemann paints a fundamentally new image of the man who shaped Europe for over f...
Das Berufsvorbereitungsjahr als Übergang von der Schule zum Beruf
Gegenstand der Untersuchung sind die Absolventen eines Jahrganges des Berufsvorbereitungsjahres einer Berufsschule in München. Eine deskriptive Bestandsaufnahme erfasst die Zusammensetzung der Zielgruppe und hält den Verbleib am Ende des Schuljahres fest. Im Fokus steht der Karriereverlauf der BVJ-Absolventen, die direkt im Anschluss an das Berufsvorbereitungsjahr eine Ausbildung begonnen haben. Ergänzt wird die explorative Untersuchung durch vertiefende Fallstudien und gibt Aufschluss über die Schwierigkeiten in Schule und Betrieb. Die Zusammenschau der Ergebnisse zeigt, dass einem Drittel dieser BVJ-Absolventen der erfolgreiche Berufsabschluss innerhalb von 3 1/2 Jahren geglückt ist. Ein weiteres in Ausbildung verbleibendes Drittel lässt ebenfalls einen erfolgreichen Abschluss erwarten. Insgesamt wird deutlich, dass Jugendliche in benachteiligenden Lebenslagen mehr Zeit für die Ausbildung benötigen und sie intensiver betreut werden müssen.
