Contemporary Leadership Challenges
Social and behavioral science has for decades studied and recognized leadership as a social exchange between leaders and followers. But leadership is rather complex, and as such, it tends to lead to an increased interest within and across different disciplines. This book is an attempt to provide theoretical and empirical framework to better understand leadership challenges in various contexts. The authors cover an array of themes that span from an individual level to an organizational and societal level. In this volume, two sections are presented. The first section based on individual level focuses on different leadership styles and abilities, and the other section provides theories to understand leadership in public administration, in industrial settings and in nonprofit organizations.
Marriage Seen through Proverbs and Anti-Proverbs
This book explores various aspects of marriage and the ways it is viewed and conceptualized in the body of Anglo-American anti-proverbs (or proverb transformations). It also depicts those who contribute to the institution of marriage (that is, husbands and wives), and analyses their nature, qualities, attributes and behaviours as revealed through such anti-proverbs. In addition, the text investigates those who remain single and do not belong to the institution of marriage, but contribute to the institution of marriage. It will appeal to a wide range of readers, from the casually interested general reader to the paremiologist, paremiographer, lexicographer, and anthropologist.

Women Through Anti-Proverbs
This book examines stereotypical traits of women as they are reflected in Anglo-American anti-proverbs, also known as proverb transformations, deliberate proverb innovations, alterations, parodies, variations, wisecracks, fractured proverbs, and proverb mutations. Through these sayings and witticisms the author delineates the image of women that these anti-proverbs reflect, her qualities, attributes and behavior. The book begins with an analysis of how women’s role in the family, their sexuality and traditional occupations are presented in proverbs, and presents an overview of the genre of the anti-proverb. The author then analyses how this image of women is transformed in anti-proverbs, sometimes subverting, but often reinforcing the sexist bias of the original. This engaging work will appeal to students and scholars of humour studies, paremiology, gender studies, cultural studies, folklore and sociolinguistics alike.
Black As F***. Die wahre Geschichte der USA
US-WAHL 2024 | New York Times-Bestseller Ein längst überfälliges Korrektiv der weißgewaschenen Geschichtsschreibung à la Trump Humorvoll, bissig, tiefgründig, einzigartig »UND WAS IST AMERIKA? Ist es ein Stück Land, das übersät ist von den achtlos dahingeworfenen Knochen derjenigen, die der Doktrin der territorialen Expansion im Wege standen, oder eine Verfassung? Ist es eine Ansammlung zusammengedrängter Menschen, die sich danach sehnen, wieder frei atmen zu können, oder bloß ein paar Grenzen auf einer Karte? Dies sind keine rhetorischen Fragen. Um die Geschichte der Schwarzen in diesem Land zu verstehen, müssen wir uns erst darauf einigen, wie wir ›dieses Land‹ definieren...
