Macro Attractiveness and Micro Decisions in the Mutual Fund Industry
This volume addresses the attractiveness of financial centers with a primary focus on the mutual fund industry. It uses different empirical analysis approaches in an attempt to disentangle the reasons for location attractiveness and in order to identify its influence on fund pricing. The presented research tackles an issue that is fundamental to the understanding of organizational behavior in finance – the rationale in the decision-making process of market participants and its consequences for an economy.
NATO (Not for Individual Sale)
NATO - The First 50 Years offers the first comprehensive study of the institution's activities and development over the past five decades. Written by a team of international scholars, it analyses the factors which have made NATO the most successful politico-military alliance in history. It also addresses the perennial problems of transatlantic relationships, the problems that the Alliance grapples with today. A wide-ranging and masterful survey, NATO-The First 50 Years will be a useful reference work for researchers as well as an accessible guide for students.
Building with Paper
Paper and cardboard as sustainable building materials are currently the subject of research and testing. They can be produced inexpensively, are made from renewable raw materials and are completely recyclable. The focus of their application is on temporary uses, such as for transitional schools, emergency shelters or "microhomes". Properly protected from moisture and fire, the material proves to be durable. Design and aesthetic qualities are by no means neglected, as case studies by Pritzker Prize winner Shigeru Ban demonstrate: the Chengdu Elementary School, the Paper Concert Hall in Aquila or the Cardboard Cathedral in Christchurch all provided a sign of hope after devastating earthquakes. This introduction explains the technology of building with cardboard and paper and shows a wide range of examples.
Lehre.Lernen.Digital
Mit der Transformation der Digitalisierung in allen Lebensbereichen kommt auch einer zeitgemäßen und auf die heutige Schüler- und Studierendengeneration zugeschnittenen Lehre eine besondere Bedeutung zu. Die Digitalisierung hat längst Einzug in die Seminarräume sowie Lehr- und Hörsäle der Bildungseinrichtungen gehalten. Zugegeben fehlt es vielerorts nicht nur an den technischen Voraussetzungen, sondern nach wie vor sind Fragen zu Lehrdeputaten, mediendidaktischen Beratungsangeboten und strategischen Verankerungen nicht oder nur unzureichend beantwortet. Die größten Hemmnisse für die Etablierung lehr- und lernbegünstigender digitaler Settings tragen jedoch noch die Lehrenden selbst...
Doing Race in Social Studies
Race and racism are a foundational part of the global and American experience. With this idea in mind, our social studies classes should reflect this reality. Social studies educators often have difficulties teaching about race within the context of their classrooms due to a variety of institutional and personal factors. Doing Race in Social Studies: Critical Perspectives provides teachers at all levels with research in social studies and critical race theory (CRT) and specific content ideas for how to teach about race within their social studies classes. The chapters in this book serve to fill the gap between the theoretical and the practical, as well as help teachers come to a better under...
Mind & Body
„Es ist der Geist, der sich den Körper baut“ (Friedrich Schiller, Wallensteins Tod) Stress und traumatische Erfahrungen können Spuren in Gehirn und Psyche regelrecht „einbrennen“ und sogar die Wirkung von Genen nachhaltig verändern. Damit steigt auch das Risiko psychosomatischer Erkrankungen. Die aktuellen Erkenntnisse der Hirnforschung und Genetik werfen viele neue Fragen auf. Welche Zusammenhänge bestehen zwischen Gehirn, Emotionen und Körper? Wie werden traumatische Erfahrungen erinnert; kann man sie löschen oder „überschreiben“? Lässt sich durch Optimismus tatsächlich das Immunsystem stärken? In zwei neuen Kapiteln wird anhand neuester Erkenntnisse aus der Optogenet...

Soaring Beyond Boundaries
Given what we already know about the position of women in the academy, what is so significant about the account of women represented in this book? Lessons from colleagues in Western universities provide important models for understanding some aspects of gendered identity of women scholars; however, a deeper understanding of educational experiences for women in countries such as China, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, may potentially offer innovative insights to our current understanding of gender within education.
