Socialist Imaginations: Utopias, Myths, and the Masses (Routledge Studies in Modern History)
by Stefan Arvidsson Jakub Beneš Anja KirschThis volume offers new perspectives on the appeal and profound cultural meaning of socialism over the past two centuries. It brings together scholarship from various disciplines addressing diverse national contexts, including Britain, China, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden, and the USA. Taken together, the contributions highlight the aesthetic, narrative, and religious dimensions of socialism as it has developed through three broad phases in the modern era: early nineteenth-century beginnings, mass-based political organizations, and the attainment of state power in the twentieth century and beyond. Socialism did not attract millions of people primarily because of logical argument and empirical evidence, important though those were. Rather, it told the most compelling story about the past, present, and future. Refocusing attention on socialism's imaginative dimensions, this volume aims to revive scholarly interest in one of the modern world¹s most important political orientations.
Handbook of Carbon Offset Programs: Trading Systems, Funds, Protocols and Standards (Environmental Market Insights)
by Carrie Lee Anja Kollmuss Michael Lazarus Maurice LeFranc Clifford PolycarpGreenhouse gas (GHG) offsets have long been promoted as an important element of a comprehensive climate policy approach. Offset programs can reduce the overall cost of achieving a given emission goal by enabling emission reductions to occur where costs are lower. Offsets have the potential to deliver sustainability co-benefits, through technology development and transfer. They can also develop human and institutional capacity for reducing emissions in sectors and locations not included in a cap and trade or a mandatory government policy. However, offsets can pose a risk to the environmental integrity of climate actions, especially if issues surrounding additionality, permanence, leakage, quantification and verification are not adequately addressed. The challenge is to design offset programs and policies that can maximize their potential benefits while minimizing their potential risks. This handbook provides a systematic and comprehensive review of existing offset programs. It looks at what offsets are, how offset mechanisms function, and the successes and pitfalls they have encountered. Coverage includes offset programs across the full swath of applications including mandatory and voluntary systems, government regulated and private markets, carbon offset funds, and accounting and reporting protocols such as the WBCSD/WRI GHG Protocol and ISO 14064. Learning from the successes and failures of these programs will be essential to crafting effective climate policy. This is an essential reference for all regulators, policy makers, business leaders and NGOs concerned with the design and operation of GHG offset programs world-wide. Published with SEI
Die sozioökonomische Transformation: Wie Wellenreiter aus der Wirtschaftskrise führen
by Anja Kossik Karl HitschmannDer aktuelle sozioökonomische Systemwandel, dessen Auswirkung auf Organisationen und zukunftstaugliche Führungs- und Managementkonzepte Wirtschaftliche Transformationen kommen immer in Wellen, die in der Folge lange Zyklen wirtschaftlichen Wachstums nach sich ziehen. Bisher waren technologische Innovationen Auslöser derartiger Wirtschaftszyklen, so auch bei der letzten Welle, der Digitalisierung. Doch der nächste Wandel ist bereits im Anrollen. Diese neue Welle beruht erstmals nicht auf einer technologischen Neuerung, sondern sie stellt vielmehr den Menschen in seinem sozialen Umgang ins Zentrum: ein sozioökonomischer Systemwandel. Er erfordert von Organisationen und ihren Führungskräften völlig neue Denk- und Handlungsmuster, die in Theorie und praktischen Beispielen aufgezeigt werden.Das Autorenteam beschreibt anhand von praktischen Beispielen und theoretischen Modellen die Symptome, an denen man diesen sogenannten „Systemwandel“ erkennen und festmachen kann. Es wird deutlich, dass die etablierten Handlungs- und Lösungsmuster der Unternehmen für diesen Umbruch überhaupt nicht mehr geeignet sind, obwohl sie weiterhin fast schon reflexartig angewendet werden. Manager und Mitarbeiter brennen nicht nur an der sinnlosen Forderung aus, teilweise Unkontrollierbares sofort „unter Kontrolle“ haben zu müssen, sondern auch an der Angst, dabei zu versagen. Gefangen in vermeintlich sicheren, aber starren und bürokratischen Organisationsstrukturen und -abläufen, reiben sie sich an der Erreichung kurzfristiger Zielvorgaben auf und verlieren dabei die langfristige Wettbewerbsfähigkeit aus dem Auge.Der InhaltPuzzlesteine einer Systemkrise: Symptome in Organisationen und der GesellschaftBlick in die Zukunft: Die Eckpfeiler psychosozial gesunder OrganisationenDer Schritt in die Umsetzung: Anwendungsfelder und hilfreiche KonzepteEin psychosozial gesundes Arbeits- und Führungsverständnis benötigt soziale Fähigkeiten und emotionale Kompetenzen, die in unserem technologisch orientierten Ausbildungssystem bislang zu kurz gekommen sind. Dieses Buch bietet neue, zukunftsorientierte Konzepte und konkrete Orientierungshilfen an, wie Führungskräfte und Entscheidungsträger in Organisationen auf die neue Welle nicht nur rechtzeitig aufspringen, sondern diese auch erfolgreich reiten können. Es soll ein Reiseführer für Menschen sein, die bereits die Zeichen dieser anstehenden Transformation erkennen, die in ihrem Umfeld Veränderungen herbeiführen wollen, aber noch nach dem richtigen Werkzeug dafür suchen.
The Palgrave Handbook of Embodiment and Learning
by Christoph Wulf Anja KrausThis handbook provides an important overview of corporeality, embodiment and learning in education from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. Situating the body at the centre of educational practice, the editors and contributors introduce the concept of ‘tact’ as a practical corporeal language. The chapters provide a spectrum of historical, conceptual, empirical and practical educational approaches for embodied pedagogical engagement. Tact and embodied knowledge form a significant component of a teacher’s capability and professionalism: interacting with students, a pedagogue responds to them tactfully, emotionally, sensitively, and reflectively searching for the right thing to do, the right words to say, improvising in aural, linguistic, spatial, and visual way that are as restrained as they are enabled by the body. This handbook questions the familiar and established essentialist and naturalist view of the body to allow new perspectives on how corporeality affects learners. It will be of interest to scholars in education and philosophy as well as those researching in across social sciences.
Making Global Health Care Innovation Work: Standardization and Localization
by Edited by Nora Engel Ine Van Hoyweghen Anja KrumeichGlobal Health involves, among many things the intensified travelling of people, resources, technologies, knowledge, standards, and ideas. This book describes what happens when innovations are transferred to new settings: What work is needed to make them work, but also how they change the setting into which they are introduced.
China's Global Aspirations and Confucianism
by Anja LahtinenThis book deals with China’s global aspirations, which rise from its economic power, history, tradition, ideology, and culture. Confucianism guided the emperors in their mandate of heaven over two thousand years. Today government-driven Confucianism as a country’s soft power is embedded to advance China’s aspirations for global power. The methodology in this book is historical and cultural narrative to gain a more profound understanding of China—how China thinks and acts.
China’s Diplomacy and Economic Activities in Africa: Relations on the Move
by Anja LahtinenThis book advocates a broad outlook of China-Africa relations and highlights China’s soft power in Africa. Lahtinen discusses China’s impact in generating economic growth and argues how some African countries have become too dependent on it, as exposed by the recent economic downturn. This book not only bestows the rational and politics of China in Africa in its pursuit of global power in the changing economic and political landscape, but also opens and tackles issues of ideology, Confucianism, China Dream, soft power, culture, democracy, human rights, and geopolitics. Lahtinen argues that unlocking Africa's potential and its trajectory is up to Africa. This book provides an invaluable resource for politicians, policy advisers, researchers, practitioners, people in business and civic organization, and students of China studies, African studies, and international relations.
The EPICA-DML Deep Ice Core: A Visual Record (Frontiers in Earth Sciences)
by Sérgio Henrique Faria Sepp Kipfstuhl Anja LambrechtThe line-scan images collected in this book represent the most accurate optical record of Antarctic ice cores ever presented, providing an invaluable resource for glaciologists and climate modellers, as well as a fascinating compilation of ice core images for Antarctica enthusiasts. Global warming and the Earth's past climate are the two main reasons for extracting deep ice cores from Antarctica. Indeed, dust particles, aerosols and other climatic traces deposited on the snow surface, as well as the air trapped in bubbles by compacted snow, produce chronologically ordered strata, making the ice from Antarctica the most accurate and valuable archive of the Earth's climate over the last million years. In addition, the layered structure produced by these strata, when revealed by appropriate methods, provides indispensable information concerning the flow and mechanical stability of the Antarctic ice sheet, allowing us to assess the current and future impact of global warming on the melting of polar ice caps with much greater precision.

Multiple Modernities: Carmen de Burgos, Author and Activist (New Hispanisms: Cultural and Literary Studies)
by Michelle Sharp Anja LouisThis collection of essays confirms Carmen de Burgos’s pivotal place in Spanish feminist history by bringing together eminent international scholars who offer new readings of Burgos’s work. It includes the analyses of a number of lesser-known texts, both fictional and non-fictional, which give us a more comprehensive examination of Burgos’s multipronge feminist approach. Burgos’s works, especially her essays, are essential feminist reading and complement other European and North American traditions. Gaining familiarity with the breadth and depth of her work serves not only to provide an understanding of Spanish firstwave feminism, but also enriches our appreciation of cultural studies, gender studies, subaltern studies and travel literature. Looking at the entirety of her life and work, and the wide-ranging contributions in this volume, it is evident that Burgos embodied the tensions between tradition and modernity, depicting multiple representations of womanhood. Encouraging women to take ownership of their personal fashion, the design of their homes and the decorum of their families were steps towards recognizing a female population that was cognizant of its own desires.
Motor Speech Disorders
by Anja Lowit Nick MillerMotor speech disorders are a common accompaniment of a whole range of neurological conditions, from stroke, brain injury and Parkinson's disease through to many rarer conditions. This book aims to aid understanding of the nature of motor speech disorders from a cross-language perspective, in contrast to the largely English-centric nature of research and practice recommendations to date. The book looks not just at how these motor speech disorders are assessed and treated in other countries, but also examines how underlying speech impairments differ according to the language someone speaks. The book studies the underlying neurological, neurophysiological and neurophonetic characteristics of motor speech disorders in different language contexts, and discusses the implications these have for clinical rehabilitation. This significantly adds to debates around the theoretical understanding and clinical management of motor speech disorders.
Lakes of the World with Google Earth
by Anja M. Scheffers Dieter H. KelletatFeaturing satellite imagery from Google Earth, this guide provides a unique, highly visual tour of lakes across the globe, from the simple to the complex, the nearby to the remote. Clear text accompanies each image and identifies important aspects of each lake along with such information as its coordinates, scale, and altitudes, if relevant. From the many aspects of lake science including water budgets, temperature regimes, mixing types, biology/ecology, and chemistry, the book concentrates on the genesis of lakes and other closed forms containing water, moisture/swamps or minerals. Its organisation follows different forms of lake origin (often connected to the question of age) such as extra-terrestrial meteor impacts, structural depressions by tectonic activity, patterning of joints or faults, volcanic origin, or the forming influence of glacier ice, subterranean permafrost, littoral processes, running water, wind, and solution of rocks (karst forms). Coverage also deals with temporal variations in lake existence within the context of climate change in the past and the future. In addition, special chapters are devoted to saline (or salt) lakes, and -- in their evaporated forms -- to saltpans. Providing essential information at a glance, this guide will be help both specialists and general readers better understand the world's lakes as well as see them in a new perspective.
Landforms of the World with Google Earth
by Anja M. Scheffers Dieter H. Kelletat Simon M. MayThis book of phenomenal illustrations provides a wealth of visual information on the wide variety of landform processes over all latitudes, climates and geological time-scales. It invites you to observe the surface of planet Earth, to appreciate its astonishing beauty and to explore scientific explanations for the form of our landscapes. 250 full-colour images from Google Earth enable all types of terrestrial environments and landforms to be appreciated at a glance. Images are explained with scales, coordinates, explanatory text and references, making the landform processes active on our globe easy for the reader to comprehend. See the effects of both sudden and slow forming agents such as the impact of a comet or meteorite, and erosion and deposition processes through wind, flowing water, creeping glacier ice, or frost in the ground. Appreciate how landscapes are shaped by processes such as weathering, transport and erosion and how that erosion enables us to look into endogenic processes (those within the Earth´s crust), called tectonics. These images and the processes that they document show that continents are shifting, mountains are uplifting, and ocean bottoms may sink deeper. This collection will appeal to everyone: researchers, students and non-experts alike can take inspiration from these images, which bring the landforms of the world to life. The scientific discipline of geomorphology becomes accessible through the fascinating insights that these clear, well explained images allow.
Meaning and Aging: Humanist Perspectives (Studies in Humanism and Atheism)
by Anja Machielse Joachim DuyndamThe main objective of this book is to add, from a humanist perspective, new interdisciplinary insights and research results to the current academic debate on aging. The collection aims to enhance and complement the predominantly biomedical and sociological debates and provide a more comprehensive and highly topical view on aging and old age. By purveying a meaning-in-life perspective to the current debate we want to enrich and to deepen the research on aging, thus aspiring to an ideal of meaningful aging. The starting point of this book is a humanistic meaning frame for addressing basic needs of a meaningful existence, such as having goals in life, a sense of self-worth, connectedness with others, moral justification, a certain degree of understanding (comprehensibility), direction and influence with a view to cohesion in life, and not in the least place: (living) pleasure or excitement. Taken together, the essays show that experiencing a meaningful life contributes to one’s mentalresilience, conceived as the ability to realize a humane individuality (autonomy) in thinking and acting in situations of adversity and vulnerability, particularly those faced by older people.
Social Isolation in Modern Society (Routledge Advances in Sociology #Vol. 19)
by Roelof Hortulanus Anja Machielse Ludwien MeeuwesenSocial isolation has serious repercussions for people and communities across the globe, yet knowledge about this phenomenon has remained rather limited – until now. The first multidisciplinary study to explore this issue, Social Isolation in Modern Society integrates relevant research traditions in the social sciences and brings together sociological theories of social networks and psychological theories of feelings of loneliness. Both traditions are embedded in research, with the results of a large-scale international study being used to describe the extent, nature and divergent manifestations of social isolation. With a new approach to social inequality, this empirically based study includes concrete policy recommendations, and presents a clear insight into personal, social and socio-economic causes and the consequences of social isolation.

Handbook of Engineering Systems Design
by Pieter E. Vermaas Anja Maier Josef OehmenThis handbook charts the new engineering paradigm of engineering systems. It brings together contributions from leading thinkers in the field and discusses the design, management and enabling policy of engineering systems. It contains explorations of core themes including technical and (socio-) organisational complexity, human behaviour and uncertainty. The text includes chapters on the education of future engineers, the way in which interventions can be designed, and presents a look to the future. This book follows the emergence of engineering systems, a new engineering paradigm that will help solve truly global challenges. This global approach is characterised by complex sociotechnical systems that are now co-dependent and highly integrated both functionally and technically as well as by a realisation that we all share the same: climate, natural resources, a highly integrated economical system and a responsibility for global sustainability goals. The new paradigm and approach requires the (re)designing of engineering systems that take into account the shifting dynamics of human behaviour, the influence of global stakeholders, and the need for system integration. The text is a reference point for scholars, engineers and policy leaders who are interested in broadening their current perspective on engineering systems design and in devising interventions to help shape societal futures.
This Brave New World: India, China and the United States
by Anja ManuelIn the next decade and a half, China and India will become two of the world's indispensable powers--whether they rise peacefully or not. During that time, Asia will surpass the combined strength of North America and Europe in economic might, population size, and military spending. Both India and China will have vetoes over many international decisions, from climate change to global trade, human rights, and business standards. From her front row view of this colossal shift, first at the State Department and now as an advisor to American business leaders, Anja Manuel escorts the reader on an intimate tour of the corridors of power in Delhi and Beijing. Her encounters with political and business leaders reveal how each country's history and politics influences their conduct today. Through vibrant stories, she reveals how each country is working to surmount enormous challenges--from the crushing poverty of Indian slum dwellers and Chinese factory workers, to outrageous corruption scandals, rotting rivers, unbreathable air, and managing their citizens' discontent. We wring our hands about China, Manuel writes, while we underestimate India, which will be the most important country outside the West to shape China's rise. Manuel shows us that a different path is possible--we can bring China and India along as partners rather than alienating one or both, and thus extend our own leadership in the world.
The Future of High-Skilled Workers: Regional Problems and Global Challenges
by Elisa Innerhofer Harald Pechlaner Mirjam Gruber Ingrid Kofler Anja MarcherThe nature of work is changing, due to demographic shifts, globalization, and digitization. Regional local labor markets are in global competition for (highly) qualified and specialized workers. At the same time, the workforce’s desire for flexibility and the increasing speed at which skill requirements are changing are producing disparities at the spatial, social, and economic levels. This book discusses the global and local drivers behind these developments. It explores the factors which cause global inequalities between urban and rural areas, and highlights how cities, regions and countries attract these sought-after employees to address skills shortages. The book includes an in-depth case study on high-skilled workers in South Tyrol, Italy. No single academic discipline can adequately capture the dynamics of the future labor market, and the authors therefore take an interdisciplinary approach, combining insights from different disciplines. This book will be a valuable resource for policymakers, students and researchers seeking to understand the driving forces behind the ever-changing labor market and the future of high-skilled work.
Pflanzliche Lebensmittelalternativen: Eigenschaften, Formulierung, Verarbeitungsmethoden und Herstellung
by David Julian McClements Lutz Grossmann Anja Maria WagemansDie Entwicklung pflanzlicher Lebensmittelalternativen ist eines der am schnellsten fortschreitenden Gebiete in unserem modernen Ernährungssystem. Viele Verbraucher*innen reduzieren den Konsum von tierischen Lebensmitteln und greifen vermehrt zu pflanzlichen Alternativen. Die Lebensmittelindustrie greift dieses Konsummuster auf und bietet zunehmend innovative pflanzliche Alternativprodukte an. Die Entwicklung und Herstellung dieser alternativen Lebensmittel geht jedoch mit großen Herausforderungen einher, da viele tierische Lebensmittel aus sehr komplexen Strukturen mit hochfunktionellen Inhaltsstoffen bestehen. Eine wissenschaftliche Herangehensweise ist daher eine wesentliche Voraussetzung, um pflanzliche Lebensmittelalternativen mit einer hohen Verbraucherakzeptanz und hohem Nährwert zu entwickeln.Dieses Fachbuch beschreibt die Wissenschaft und Technologie von pflanzlichen Lebensmittelalternativen. Leser*innen erhalten einen Überblick über die verwendeten Zutaten und Verarbeitungsprozesse sowie über die wichtigsten Ernährungs- und Qualitätsmerkmale spezifischer pflanzlicher Lebensmittelkategorien wie Alternativen zu Milch und Milchprodukten, Eiern und Eiprodukten sowie Fleisch und Meeresfrüchten. Fachkräfte mit Bezug zur Lebensmitteltechnologie können dieses grundlegende Wissen nutzen, um die nächste Generation gesünderer und nachhaltigerer pflanzlicher Lebensmittelalternativen herzustellen.
