Unlike his historical romances, which required the utmost care, this could be dashed off quickly. The first draft, featuring a Mr. Sherrinford Holmes, was a bit rough around the edges, but with a little revision, something astonishing emerged: Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson, and A Study in Scarlet. As if with no warning, they sprung forth from their creator's head, fully-formed in a new style so well-defined it felt immediately like an established genre. Their partnership cemented within pages of the book's opening-the sum of their parts accomplishing far more than they could apart. Sporting his signature billowing coat and pipe in hand, the genius investigator Holmes captivated readers with his alluring melancholy and superhuman intuition, while Watson remained ever the perfect foil, a classic Victorian gentleman with brilliant intellect.Collected here are all four Holmes novels-A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of Four, The Hound of the Baskervilles, and The Valley of Fear-tracing the origins of the pair up through their greatest showdowns with arch-enemy Professor Moriarty. Set in the seductive shadow-world of Victorian London, they are at once an indelible portrait of their time and immortal stories unmarred by passing time. Though endlessly reinterpreted, reinvented and imitated, they have never been surpassed: the stories of Holmes and Watson lives on as immediate and original in our time as in their own.","merchants_number":2,"ean":9780143107132,"category_id":103,"size":null,"min_price":30.89999999999999857891452847979962825775146484375,"low_price_merchant_id":70255345,"ID":4832351,"merchants":["euniverse","weltbild"],"brand":"undefined","slug":"sherlock-holmes-the-novels","url":"\/unterhaltung\/produkt\/sherlock-holmes-the-novels\/","low_price_merchant_name":"eUniverse"}

Much of what the author has learned on his pilgrimage in search of the fourth self, he owes to his Kenyan brothers and sisters with whom he has shared this journey. The Fourth Self will assist the reader in sharing in this journey more fully. Given the influence of the Western theological heritage in East Africa, it is important that the value of the theological education be evaluated from the perception of the participants in the educational process. This intercultural pilgrimage has been in the making for many decades, and it has been a journey for both African and Western participants as they both learned from and taught one another. This volume articulates the voices of the participants in a theological process while engaging their cultural contexts with the gospel, searching for what Paul Hiebert calls the \u00abfourth self\u00bb, self-theologizing. Furthermore, it evaluates which factors in the theological education process and ministry experiences contributed significantly to the leaders developing their own theological understanding of scripture as it applies to their cultural and ministry contexts, that is, practicing the fourth self. Professors, especially cross-cultural theological educators, will find this text to be useful in delving into the always dynamic cauldron of contexualization, self-theologizing, and global theologizing. In addition, this volume sets a solid foundation for improvements in ministry, theological interchange, and theological education in Africa.","merchants_number":1,"ean":9781433116070,"category_id":103,"size":null,"min_price":47.64999999999999857891452847979962825775146484375,"low_price_merchant_id":1087639,"ID":5045858,"merchants":["dodax"],"brand":"undefined","slug":"the-fourth-self","url":"\/unterhaltung\/produkt\/the-fourth-self\/","low_price_merchant_name":null}

Reading Images, Seeing Texts

In recent years, a growing number of biblical scholars have turned to ancient art as a vital resource for understanding the historical and conceptual background of the Bible.

While these “iconographic” approaches have done much to advance findings from more traditional text-based studies, they have yet to fully address issues pertaining to the nature, power, and meaning of ancient art as well as the social practices, effects, and responses that are derived from and inform how images functioned in ancient visual culture. This volume offers a sustained engagement of theories of visual culture with the goal of further refining how images are utilised in biblical research. Issues addressed include: the function of images as a language of communication and its implications for debates about textual literacy in ancient Israel (ch. 2); the nature of the image-text relationship and how it informs methods of iconographic exegesis as well as the analysis of ancient mixed-media artifacts (ch. 3); approaches to visual analysis that take into account how linguistic and non-linguistic signs convey meaning in different ways (ch. 4); how theories about the ontology and social agency of art shed new light on the history of visual response in the ancient world, including image theft and destruction (ch. 5); and how a consideration of visual practices and the social and religious dimensions of sight can advance understandings of the nature of Israelite aniconism and the search for Yahweh’s cult image (ch. 6). Insights gained from these analyses are synthesised into a hermeneutical framework that outlines a more critical approach to working with images in the field of biblical studies.","merchants_number":1,"ean":9783525544068,"category_id":103,"size":null,"min_price":163,"low_price_merchant_id":70254503,"ID":4733960,"merchants":["orell-fuessli"],"brand":"undefined","slug":"reading-images-seeing-texts","url":"\/unterhaltung\/produkt\/reading-images-seeing-texts\/","low_price_merchant_name":"Orell F\u00fcssli"}

This concern comes on the heels of the great successes of both cellular communications and consumer oriented communications like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth that have changed the way people use computers and communications and that have led to the creation of large new markets for products and services. The response of many spectrum regulators throughout the world in addressing these concerns has been to consider releasing more spectrum for unlicensed or for shared use. An example is the spectrum that is released by the transition to digital TV: the frequencies freed up are destined, in part, to new applications that would be license exempt. A possible beneficiary of new spectrum releases would be \"the smart grid\", a networked application of digital sensor and control technology to the energy delivery segment of the energy utility industry. This policy has heightened the interests of all involved in spectrum sharing and many proposals are being considered or brought forward. However, theory in this area is scarce and practice proves resistive of quick solutions. A case in point is RLAN\/radar spectrum sharing in the 5GHz range: six years after the ITU-R allocated this shared spectrum, the rules for sharing as well as the means to verify compliance with these rules are not fully mature. Another recent development is the interest in spectrum pricing and trading which tend to focus on the economic aspects of spectrum sharing at the expense understanding of the limitations as well as the technical possibilities of spectrum sharing.","merchants_number":1,"ean":9789400737822,"category_id":103,"size":null,"min_price":124.7999999999999971578290569595992565155029296875,"low_price_merchant_id":1087639,"ID":5012207,"merchants":["dodax"],"brand":"undefined","slug":"sharing-rf-spectrum-with-commodity-wireless-technologies-1","url":"\/unterhaltung\/produkt\/sharing-rf-spectrum-with-commodity-wireless-technologies-1\/","low_price_merchant_name":null}

Who we are, and how we relate to others, is a major factor in the sustainable development of organizations and communities today. The helping relationship?whether as coach, manager, trainer, teacher or leader?is central to developing this capacity to relate?not only to others but also to ourselves. This book provides a series of innovative concepts and practical tools for those involved in helping relationships, as they help others develop and transform. It provides five operational strategies that answers the questions ?What should I do?? and ?How should I do it??. It then offers four strategies to help a person build their own identity. Finally, it describes a ?crystallization? strategy that encompasses all the others, and enables a person to crystalize what has been occurring during the helping relationship. It also provides a unique perspective on the place of coaching in the context of the evolution of our species towards an empathetic civilization, of our society to and beyond the third industrial revolution, and of our companies as they reinvent the way they organize in the 21st ,century to give greater autonomy to those who work in them and harness the power of participative democracy in the workplace. A central theme of the book is freedom and responsibility. Having found, then fully accepted our freedom, we go beyond freedom, and take the path towards responsibility. Both client and coach chart their path on this journey through the alliance they create, and through which deep meaning is born for both.","merchants_number":1,"ean":9783319547947,"category_id":103,"size":null,"min_price":35.9500000000000028421709430404007434844970703125,"low_price_merchant_id":1087639,"ID":4764623,"merchants":["dodax"],"brand":"undefined","slug":"my-10-strategies-for-integrative-coaching","url":"\/unterhaltung\/produkt\/my-10-strategies-for-integrative-coaching\/","low_price_merchant_name":null}

Since the market economies of Western Europe and North America were the obvious reference point, transforming the planned economies into functioning market economies became a priority. This transition would ensure a better allocation of resources as well as technological progress and innovation and foster sustainable economic growth. To achieve this, it was necessary to profoundly change the underlying structures and incentives of the planned economy. While each country embarked on its own path towards a market economy, there is little dispute as to what reforms were necessary to get the new economic system going. Following Hare these include: (1) macroeconomic stabilisation, (2) price and trade liberalization, (3) privatization and enterprise restructuring, and (4) institutional reforms.This essay examines the impact of some of these reforms on growth. It will also look into how initial conditions explain differences in growth outcomes that can't be fully explained by policy choices. Focusing on inflation and fiscal balances, the first section will explore the role of macroeconomic stabilization in fostering growth.

Now we return to that famous courthouse in Clanton as Jake Brigance once again finds himself embroiled in a fiercely controversial trial-a trial that will expose old racial tensions and force Ford County to confront its tortured history. Seth Hubbard is a wealthy man dying of lung cancer. He trusts no one. Before he hangs himself from a sycamore tree, Hubbard leaves a new, handwritten, will. It is an act that drags his adult children, his black maid, and Jake into a conflict as riveting and dramatic as the murder trial that made Brigance one of Ford County's most notorious citizens, just three years earlier. The second will raises far more questions than it answers. Why would Hubbard leave nearly all of his fortune to his maid? Had chemotherapy and painkillers affected his ability to think clearly? And what does it all have to do with a piece of land once known as Sycamore Row? In Sycamore Row, John Grisham returns to the setting and the compelling characters that first established him as America's favorite storyteller.

In the mid 1980s, Ray joined the famous music channel MTV and later started his pioneering TV show MTV?s Most Wanted ? which made him a huge star across Europe, at times drawing more than 60 million viewers. Cokes delivered a form of talk\/entertainment\/music show that was completely unheard of at the time; an unscripted unrehearsed television experience that has since been widely copied. Now, with his trademark candour and cheekiness, Ray presents, in his own words, a comprehensive picture of his adventurous career lived off the beaten track. From his beginnings as a chef in a rundown hotel in Brighton and first tentative steps as a TV host in Belgium, to his rise to superstardom as the face of MTV Europe. In this revealing work, he also provides insight into his personal life and the time after MTV, detailing a severe depression and serious addiction during the excesses of the 1990s. Naturally, there are stories about his meetings with the big stars, including a special wedding present from The Cure, and his short time as a close friend of Robbie Williams. He talks about the uncompromising rules of the media industry and, for the first time, reveals the truth behind the fateful evening in Hamburg, which brought his career as an MTV VJ to an end. MY MOST WANTED LIFE is Ray Cokes au naturel ? open and honest, and just as funny and entertaining as his unforgettable TV shows.

What he achieved for his country is almost unbelievable. Already during his lifetime, Wallace?s reputation must have been legendary. Over the centuries, a powerful myth has been created around his person, which was fostered by diverse writers and even by Hollywood.There have been several periods throughout Scottish history when the interest in William Wallace intensified enormously, resulting in an increase of literary publications on the freedom fighter. Surprisingly enough, these climaxes appeared whenever the Scots were dissatisfied with the English rule and brought the old animosity between England and Scotland to new life. These tensions caused many writers to revive memories of Wallace and his ideals by projecting the medieval story into their own time. Thus, more and more bits and pieces were added to the myth whose message seems to have had tremendous effects on the Scots. Wallace?s unfulfilled quest of freeing Scotland even became an issue in several programmes of political parties.With the release of the film Braveheart in the mid 1990s, the Wallace cult was reborn once more. Several questions arise in this context: Was it the prevailing political situation that stimulated such an overwhelming enthusiasm for William Wallace again? Did the Wallace myth influence the Devolution movement? Is Wallace?s spirit still alive today? Do the Scots still cherish what he fought for, and will they finally achieve his goal of a fully independent Scottish Nation? With regard to the current political situation, the book finds interesting answers to these questions and discusses the chances for a possible Scottish independence.","merchants_number":1,"ean":9783898212694,"category_id":103,"size":null,"min_price":28.050000000000000710542735760100185871124267578125,"low_price_merchant_id":1087639,"ID":5031719,"merchants":["dodax"],"brand":"undefined","slug":"the-myth-of-william-wallace-a-study-of-the-national-heros-impact-on-scottish-history-literature-and-modern-politics","url":"\/unterhaltung\/produkt\/the-myth-of-william-wallace-a-study-of-the-national-heros-impact-on-scottish-history-literature-and-modern-politics\/","low_price_merchant_name":null}

This Penguin Classics edition is translated with notes by Martin Hammond and an introduction by Diskin Clay. Written in Greek by an intellectual Roman emperor without any intention of publication, the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius offer a wide range of fascinating spiritual reflections and exercises developed as the leader struggled to understand himself and make sense of the universe. Spanning from doubt and despair to conviction and exaltation, they cover such diverse topics as the question of virtue, human rationality, the nature of the gods and Aurelius's own emotions. But while the Meditations were composed to provide personal consolation, in developing his beliefs Marcus also created one of the greatest of all works of philosophy: a series of wise and practical aphorisms that have been consulted and admired by statesmen, thinkers and ordinary readers for almost two thousand years. Martin Hammond's new translation fully expresses the intimacy and eloquence of the original work, with detailed notes elucidating the text. This edition also includes an introduction by Diskin Clay, exploring the nature and development of the Meditations, a chronology, further reading and full indexes. Marcus Aelius Aurelius Antoninus (121-80) was adopted by the emperor Antoninus Pius and succeeded him in 161, (as joint emperor with adoptive brother Lucius Verus). He ruled alone from 169, and spent much of his reign in putting down various rebellions, and was a persecutor of Christians. His fame rest, above all, on his Meditations, a series of reflections, strongly influenced by Epictetus, which represent a Stoic outlook on life. He was succeeded by his natural son, thus ending the period of the adoptive emperors. If you enjoyed Meditations, you might like Seneca's Letters from a Stoic, also available in Penguin Classics.","merchants_number":2,"ean":9780140449334,"category_id":103,"size":null,"min_price":20.85000000000000142108547152020037174224853515625,"low_price_merchant_id":27291482,"ID":5011299,"merchants":["weltbild","orell-fuessli"],"brand":"undefined","slug":"meditations-2","url":"\/unterhaltung\/produkt\/meditations-2\/","low_price_merchant_name":"Weltbild"}

It contains all the compositions attributed to the composer in the 18th century, most of which were previously unknown to researchers. Sponsored by the German Research Foundation, the authors examined and described compositions contained in over 400 manuscripts in Europe and further afield, following the philological principle of authenticity criticism. Apart from a few smaller vocal and instrumental works by Handel, the discovery of a Gloria in excelsis Deo in London?s Royal Academy of Music was one of the unforeseen events of the research project. This highly-accomplished work, composed during Handel?s travels in Italy was first performed at the 2001 G\u00f6ttingen Handel Festival, and caused a sensation in the musical world. This comprehensive, fully-indexed volume, deserves a place in every library as a supplement to the Verzeichnis der Werke Georg Friedrich H\u00e4ndels.","merchants_number":1,"ean":9783487154831,"category_id":103,"size":null,"min_price":92.900000000000005684341886080801486968994140625,"low_price_merchant_id":70254503,"ID":4956745,"merchants":["orell-fuessli"],"brand":"undefined","slug":"die-g-f-handel-zugeschriebenen-kompositionen-1700-1800-the-compositions-attributed-to-g-f-handel-1700-1800-hwv-anh-b","url":"\/unterhaltung\/produkt\/die-g-f-handel-zugeschriebenen-kompositionen-1700-1800-the-compositions-attributed-to-g-f-handel-1700-1800-hwv-anh-b\/","low_price_merchant_name":"Orell F\u00fcssli"}

Aspects of the Orange Revolution VI - Post-Communist Democratic Revolutions in Comparative Perspective

Post-communist democratic revolutions have, so far, taken place in six countries: Slovakia (1998), Croatia (1999-2000), Serbia (2000), Georgia (2003), Ukraine (2004) and Kyrgyzstan (2005). The seven chapters in this volume situate these events within a theoretical and comparative perspective.

The seven chapters in this volume situate these events within a theoretical and comparative perspective. The volume draws upon extensive experience and field research conducted by political scientists specializing in comparative democratization, regime politics, political transitions, electoral studies, and the post-communist world. The papers by Valerie Bunce and Sharon Wolchik, Henry Hale, Paul D?Anieri; David R. Marples, Taras Kuzio, Lucan A. Way and Steven Levitsky, as well as Anika Locke Binnendijk and Ivan Marovic explore different regime types and opposition strategies in post-communist states, the diffusion of opposition strategies between states in which democratic revolutions were attempted, the strategic importance of youth NGO?s in mobilizing oppositions towards democratic revolutions, the use of non-violent strategies by the opposition, path dependent, theoretical and comparative explanations of the sources of successful and failed democratic revolutions, and the factors that lie behind divergent post-revolutionary trajectories. The volume represents a breakthrough in our understanding of why and how democratic revolutions take place in the post-communist world. It provides an integrated analysis of why such upheavals succeed in some, but fail in other states. The contributions point to, among other issues, why the post-revolutionary breakthroughs in Serbia, Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan have encountered obstacles, the ousted regime was never fully defeated and its representatives were able to launch counter-revolutions, as well as why, in Serbia and Ukraine, the political forces of the ousted regimes have returned to power in free elections held after democratic revolutions. Post-Communist Democratic Revolutions in Comparative Perspective will be important reading for scholars and policy makers alike.","merchants_number":2,"ean":9783898218207,"category_id":103,"size":null,"min_price":39.89999999999999857891452847979962825775146484375,"low_price_merchant_id":27291482,"ID":5407236,"merchants":["weltbild","orell-fuessli"],"brand":"undefined","slug":"aspects-of-the-orange-revolution-vi-post-communist-democratic-revolutions-in-comparative-perspective","url":"\/unterhaltung\/produkt\/aspects-of-the-orange-revolution-vi-post-communist-democratic-revolutions-in-comparative-perspective\/","low_price_merchant_name":"Weltbild"}
