It traces the evolution of thought that culminated in the message of its founder, and the impact of Jesus' teachings on his followers. It recounts the history of the early Church, its aims and beliefs, and the formulation by the Church Fathers and the great ecumenical councils of answers to questions of faith, morals and teachings. Thematic chapters deal with the topics of faith and reason, how to recognize truth, authority, myth, the question of sin, judgement and deliverance, and the meaning of the sacraments. Others deal with historical events, changing attitudes, religious practices, institutional structures and sacred texts.Written in an informal and friendly style, this guide is the perfect introduction to a rich, complex and profoundly influential system of belief.ACCESS THE WORLD'S RELIGIONSSimple Guides: Religion is a series of concise, accessible introductions to the world's major religions.

Today, more than ever, companies need to innovate to survive. But successful innovation--measured in dollars and cents--is a very hard target to hit.Companies obsess over being creative and innovative and spend significant time and expense in designing and building products, yet struggle to monetize them: 72% of innovations fail to meet their financial targets--or fail entirely. Many companies have come to accept that a high failure rate, and the billions of dollars lost annually, is just the cost of doing business.Monetizing Innovations argues that this is tragic, wasteful, and wrong.Radically improving the odds that your innovation will succeed is just a matter of removing the guesswork. That happens when you put customer demand and willingness to pay in the driver seat--when you design the product around the price. It's a new paradigm, and that opens the door to true game change: You can stop hoping to monetize, and start knowing that you will.The authors at Simon Kucher know what they're talking about. As the world's premier pricing and monetization consulting services company, with 800 professionals in 30 cities around the globe, they have helped clients ranging from massive pharmaceuticals to fast-growing startups find success. In Monetizing Innovation, they distil the lessons of thirty years and over 10,000 projects into a practical, nine-step approach. Whether you are a CEO, executive leadership, or part of the team responsible for innovation and new product development, this book is for you, with special sections and checklist-driven summaries to make monetizing innovation part of your company's DNA. Illustrative case studies show how some of the world's best innovative companies like LinkedIn, Uber, Porsche, Optimizely, Draeger, Swarovski and big pharmaceutical companies have used principles outlined in this book.A direct challenge to the status quo \"spray and pray\" style of innovation, Monetizing Innovation presents a practical approach that can be adopted by any organization, in any industry. Most monetizing innovation failure point home. Now more than ever, companies must rethink the practices that have lost countless billions of dollars. Monetizing Innovation presents a new way forward, and a clear promise: Go from hope to certainty.","merchants_number":2,"ean":9781119240860,"category_id":103,"size":null,"min_price":33.64999999999999857891452847979962825775146484375,"low_price_merchant_id":1087639,"ID":4893119,"merchants":["dodax","dodax"],"brand":"undefined","slug":"monetizing-innovation","url":"\/unterhaltung\/produkt\/monetizing-innovation\/","low_price_merchant_name":null}

Interweaving 200 gorgeous photographs and informative and entertaining anecdotes, Models of Influence profiles 50 women who have made an unforgettable impression on fashion, the modeling industry, and our notions of beauty. Eight chronological chapters, each of which spotlight an era, feature the stories and images of women who made their mark. These include Lisa Fonssagrives-Penn, Dovima, and Dorian Leigh, who reigned during modeling's golden age in the 1950s; Twiggy, Veruschka, and Jean Shrimpton, who embodied the free spirit of the 1960s; and Lauren Hutton, Iman, and Janice Dickinson, models who revolutionized the notion of beauty in the 1970s. Barker profiles those who've become the million-dollar faces of their time, such as Christie Brinkley and Elle Macpherson; revisits the age of the supermodel, when Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista, and Naomi Campbell rose to global stardom; and spotlights eternal chameleons Kate Moss, Stella Tennant, and Amber Valletta, among others. Also included are models who brought us into the twenty-first century, and those who are leading the way into the future, from Gisele B\u00fcndchen, Daria Werbowy, Liya Kebede, and Coco Rocha to Cara Delevingne, Karlie Kloss, Lara Stone, Joan Smalls, and Kate Upton. Nigel Barker showcases each model's incandescent style—that special something that sets her apart, whether it's her unique physicality, a daring approach to image-making, or a particular energy that reflects the zeitgeist. Here, too, are models who broke the mold in their respective eras and turned the standard notion of beauty on its head. Stunning in its breadth and beauty, comprising some of the finest fashion images over the last 70 years, Models of Influence is a celebration of fashion and a group of unforgettable women who have helped shape and change modern culture.","merchants_number":1,"ean":9780062345844,"category_id":103,"size":null,"min_price":34.89999999999999857891452847979962825775146484375,"low_price_merchant_id":70254503,"ID":4683599,"merchants":["orell-fuessli"],"brand":"undefined","slug":"models-of-influence","url":"\/unterhaltung\/produkt\/models-of-influence\/","low_price_merchant_name":"Orell F\u00fcssli"}

Wenn es um die Jugend geht, ist es offenbar sexy, auf dem Klavier der Skandalisierungen zu spielen. Sei?s drum, den ?Kindern der Krise? ist das egal. Sie zucken mit den Achseln und sagen: ?Wir sind das ohnehin gewohnt: Erwachsene haben einen Tunnelblick.? Alles in allem ist die heutige Jugend widerspr\u00fcchlich, dynamisch und oft auch ein wenig oberfl\u00e4chlich ? eben ganz so wie die Gesellschaft, die sie umgibt. Ohne grossen Plan jongliert sie durchs Leben, macht mit, so gut es eben geht ? auch dann, wenn sie wenig Sinn darin sieht. Und zwischendurch feiert sie Party, um den Zumutungen des Alltags zu entfliehen. Doch sie stellt auch unangenehme Fragen, beispielsweise: ?Warum soll ich mich f\u00fcr Politik interessieren, wenn die Anliegen der Senioren ohnehin mehr z\u00e4hlen als die der Jugend??; ?Wie soll ich eine Familie gr\u00fcnden, wenn es mir nicht einmal gelingt, einen guten Job zu finden?? Kurzum: Die Jugend des 21. Jahrhunderts ist schwer zu greifen. Immer, wenn man ein klar konturiertes Bild zu entdecken glaubt, droht es gleich wieder zu zerfliessen. Das heisst: Ja, Jugendliche sind coole Lifestyle-Kids. Sie sind aber zugleich auch politisch Desillusionierte, prek\u00e4re Berufseinstiegspraktikanten und vor allem die grossen Verlierer der Krise. Und da sie selbst nicht viel daran \u00e4ndern k\u00f6nnen, rudern sie nicht gegen den Strom, sondern lassen sich einfach treiben. Beate Grossegger zeichnet ein differenziertes Bild dieser Jugend. Sie zeigt, wie aktuelle gesellschaftliche Entwicklungen auf das Lebensgef\u00fchl junger Menschen pr\u00e4genden Einfluss nehmen. Sie bringt die Leserin und den Leser auf Sichtkontakt mit einer Jugendkultur, die das Krisengespenst zumindest auf Zeit vergessen l\u00e4sst. Und sie widmet sich dem zunehmend schwierigeren Verh\u00e4ltnis zwischen Jugend und Politik. Die breite Mehrheit der Jugendlichen sieht das politische Establishment \u00e4usserst kritisch. Mitmachen wollen nur wenige.","merchants_number":2,"ean":9783943774856,"category_id":103,"size":null,"min_price":21.89999999999999857891452847979962825775146484375,"low_price_merchant_id":27291482,"ID":4671219,"merchants":["weltbild","orell-fuessli"],"brand":"undefined","slug":"kinder-der-krise","url":"\/unterhaltung\/produkt\/kinder-der-krise\/","low_price_merchant_name":"Weltbild"}

However, our interest is more one of artistic than of touristic discovery, and this would be virtually unthinkable without the work of an artist who fell in love with this wonderful paradise. We refer to C\u00e9sar Manrique (1919?1992); who was able to see and reveal to us the unique beauties arising out of the happy marriage of the four elements believed by the Greeks to form the whole of creation: air, earth, fire and water. In fact, after returning to his island in 1968 after a period spent in New York, Manrique dedicated himself passionately to realizing his utopia, to renew Lanzarote out of his own sources. Among Manriques best known works on Lanzarote are the Casa Museo del Campesino, the Jameos del Agua, the Mirador del R\u00edo, the Cactus Garden and his own house in the Taro de Tah\u00edche. Manrique?s house in Taro de Tah\u00edche, which nowadays houses the C\u00e9sar Manrique Foundation, can be considered as a \u00bbwork in progress\u00ab as it was built over a period of almost 25 years and was still not completed upon the artist?s death. Arising out of the five interconnected volcanic bubbles of the underground storey, it has become a metaphor for the amorous meeting of man with Mother Earth, this latter being understood, to use Bruno Taut?s expression, as \u00bba fine home for living\u00ab. The spaces on the upper floor can be virtually mistaken for the white cubic buildings dispersed throughout the island. But when we cross their thresholds, we have the unique feeling that here something was created which is really new. In fact, Manrique ? enemy in equal measure of the \u00bbpastiche\u00ab of regionalism and the off-key International Style blind to differentiation ? sifted the vernacular with certain modern filters such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Mies van der Rohe or Le Corbusier, and at the same time gave it such a specific stamp that the final result became indigenous and unmistakeable. Sim\u00f3n March\u00e1n Fiz is professor of aesthetics in Madrid. Like March\u00e1n Fiz Pedro Martinez de Albornoz lives in Madrid. The photographs shown in this book are the best photographic interpretation of one of Manrique?s work up to now.","merchants_number":2,"ean":9783930698165,"category_id":103,"size":null,"min_price":49.89999999999999857891452847979962825775146484375,"low_price_merchant_id":70254503,"ID":5051544,"merchants":["orell-fuessli","weltbild"],"brand":"undefined","slug":"fundacion-cesar-manrique-lanzarote","url":"\/unterhaltung\/produkt\/fundacion-cesar-manrique-lanzarote\/","low_price_merchant_name":"Orell F\u00fcssli"}

Spiegelman's work Maus braves many conventions of dealing with the Holocaust but reconstructs it in an unprecedented and unique manner. By exceeding literary boundaries and generic expectations, it is thus an essential addition to Holocaust literature. [...]This paper analyzes the animal metaphor in Spiegelman's Maus. It examines and discusses the different spheres in which the functions of the animal metaphor become evident. First, this paper traces back to the origins of using animals in literature. After a brief historical introduction of the sources and the development of animal figures, chapter 2 explains their literary function and their significance in comic books. Chapter 3 delivers a brief overview of Maus. It includes a synopsis of the comic's plot as well as a summary of its reception.Chapter 4, the main part of this paper, investigates the various functions and receptions of the animal metaphor in Maus from different perspectives. In chapter 4.1, Spiegelman's personal explanations reveal how Maus's animal characters function for him as a second generation witness. Chapter 4.2 focuses upon these implications brought into play with the use of the mask. A further subject, discussed in chapter 4.3, is how the animal imagery serves as a distancing and defamiliarizing device in order to deal with the horror of the Holocaust. Chapter 4.4 discusses the interconnection between both features. In chapter 4.5, the examination tries further to comprehend how the animal metaphor contributes to the reconstruction of ethnicity and identity in Maus. Since any analysis of a comic book must not neglect its visual dimension, chapter 4.6 considers Maus's drawing style and the significance of its visual representation. Maus has attracted many critics and its reception has been diverse and manifold. Target of the criticism has been especially the use of animals as substitutes for human beings. Chapter 4.7 examines and discusses Maus's animal device from a critical point of view regarding its incongruities and problems brought into play with the association of human beings and animals. The last chapter summarizes the insights of the analysis and discusses in what way Maus's animal metaphor strikes a new path in the conception and reconstruction of the Holocaust.","merchants_number":2,"ean":9783656723219,"category_id":103,"size":null,"min_price":15.449999999999999289457264239899814128875732421875,"low_price_merchant_id":1087639,"ID":4036022,"merchants":["dodax","euniverse"],"brand":"undefined","slug":"the-animal-metaphor-in-art-spiegelmans-maus","url":"\/unterhaltung\/produkt\/the-animal-metaphor-in-art-spiegelmans-maus\/","low_price_merchant_name":null}

In addition to these objects from other museums will also be taken into consideration. The study intends to analyse the depictions of camels (dromedary) from ancient South Arabia and to investigate their style, chronology and meaning. Special attention will be paid to the economic and social relevance of camels and to the question of how far camel caravans can be considered as go-betweens for the cultural exchange with the Mediterranean world. The study will be completed by a compilation of all the relevant epigraphic documents from ancient Southern Arabia concerning camels in order to reveal the importance of this domestic animal. The first chapter deals with the history of ancient South Arabia (3rd. millennium B.C ? 632 A.D.), the ?Arabia felix? of the Classical Greek and Roman authors, and with the exact provenance of the figurines in study. A short summary of the current state of research regarding the evolution of camels follows. Based on the description of the species of the camel and its evolution an account of the research literature on the process of the domestication of camels will be given in order to establish a chronology. Thanks to their endurance and frugality camels became the most important beasts of burden on the Arabian peninsula. For this reason a subsection is dedicated to the Incense Road. The epigraphic documents given in transcription and translation in the appendix of this book will be surveyed statistically and analysed as an important source for the interpretation of the archaeological record. The figurines will be classified in three main groups according to general features and presented in a detailed catalogue. They will be analysed with regard to material, production techniques and state of preservation. Furthermore the far-reaching significance that camels had for the people of ancient South Arabia as mounts and beasts of burden as well as in a religious context will be discussed. Other documents (e. g. stelae, petroglyphs, terracotta figurines) from the region of their origin, the wider Arabian paninsula, the Near East and the Mediterranean world give an idea of the chronological classification of the camel statuettes.","merchants_number":2,"ean":9783954901210,"category_id":103,"size":null,"min_price":79.900000000000005684341886080801486968994140625,"low_price_merchant_id":27291482,"ID":4259464,"merchants":["weltbild","orell-fuessli"],"brand":"undefined","slug":"kameldarstellungen-aus-metall-im-vorislamischen-sudarabien","url":"\/unterhaltung\/produkt\/kameldarstellungen-aus-metall-im-vorislamischen-sudarabien\/","low_price_merchant_name":"Weltbild"}

Decentralized Spatial Computing

Computing increasingly happens somewhere, with that geographic location important to the computational process itself.

Many new and evolving spatial technologies, such as geosensor networks and smartphones, embody this trend. Conventional approaches to spatial computing are centralized, and do not account for the inherently decentralized nature of \"computing somewhere\": the limited, local knowledge of individual system components, and the interaction between those components at different locations. On the other hand, despite being an established topic in distributed systems, decentralized computing is not concerned with geographical constraints to the generation and movement of information. In this context, of (centralized) spatial computing and decentralized (non-spatial) computing, the key question becomes: \"What makes decentralized spatial computing special?\" In Part I of the book the author covers the foundational concepts, structures, and design techniques for decentralized computing with spatial and spatiotemporal information. In Part II he applies those concepts and techniques to the development of algorithms for decentralized spatial computing, stepping through a suite of increasingly sophisticated algorithms: from algorithms with minimal spatial information about their neighborhoods, to algorithms with access to more detailed spatial information, such as direction, distance, or coordinate location, to truly spatiotemporal algorithms that monitor environments that are dynamic, even using networks that are mobile or volatile. Finally, in Part III the author shows how decentralized spatial and spatiotemporal algorithms designed using the techniques explored in Part II can be simulated and tested. In particular, he investigates empirically the important properties of a decentralized spatial algorithm: its computational efficiency and its robustness to unavoidable uncertainty. Part III concludes with a survey of the opportunities for connecting decentralized spatial computing to ongoing research and emerging hot topics in related fields, such as biologically inspired computing, geovisualization, and stream computing. The book is written for students and researchers of computer science and geographic information science. Throughout the book the author's style is characterized by a focus on the broader message, explaining the process of decentralized spatial algorithm design rather than the technical details. Each chapter ends with review questions designed to test the reader's understanding of the material and to point to further work or research. The book includes short appendices on discrete mathematics and SQL. Simulation models written in NetLogo and associated source code for all the algorithms presented in the book can be found on the author's accompanying website.","merchants_number":1,"ean":9783642308529,"category_id":103,"size":null,"min_price":63.5499999999999971578290569595992565155029296875,"low_price_merchant_id":1087639,"ID":4642397,"merchants":["dodax"],"brand":"undefined","slug":"decentralized-spatial-computing","url":"\/unterhaltung\/produkt\/decentralized-spatial-computing\/","low_price_merchant_name":null}

Auf dem Titelbild sind die englischen Nationalspieler Stuart Pierce und Paul Gascoigne zu sehen, schreiend und mit Stahlhelmen.

Wortw\u00f6rtlich werden in dem Artikel Ausz\u00fcge aus der Kriegserkl\u00e4rung Englands an Deutschland aus dem Jahr 1939 abgedruckt. Selbst f\u00fcr die englischen Boulevardmedien, in denen das ?Kraut-Bashing?; also die Verunglimpfung Deutschlands mithilfe negativer Stereotype und NS-Anspielungen, Tradition hat, stellt diese Titelseite den H\u00f6hepunkt ihrer Deutschlandfeindlichkeit dar. Zehn Jahre sp\u00e4ter bei der WM 2006 in Deutschland macht vor allem die englische Presse eine Kehrtwende in ihrer Berichterstattung. Sowohl Qualit\u00e4ts- als auch Boulevardzeitungen sind vom Gastgeberland Deutschland und seinen Einwohnern begeistert. The SUN berichtet \u00fcber die positiven Erfahrungen tausender englischer Fans in Deutschland. KATHRIN OCH kommt nach einer empirischen Untersuchung englischer Tageszeitungen zu dem Ergebnis, dass sich das Bild der Deutschen in der englischen Presse stark verbessert hat, wenn auch ein Rest an Kriegsanspielungen \u00fcbrig geblieben ist. Am Ende ihrer Arbeit wirft sie jedoch die Frage auf, ob sich das Bild wirklich nachhaltig verbessert habe oder ob die positive Berichterstattung nicht doch gr\u00f6sstenteils auf die Gastgeberfunktion Deutschlands zur\u00fcckzuf\u00fchren sei. Ihre Zweifel sollten nicht unberechtigt gewesen sein: Schon im Vorfeld der WM 2010 macht wieder eine englische Boulevardzeitung mit Deutschlandfeindlichkeit auf sich aufmerksam. Der DAILY STAR zeigt im Januar 2010 Michael Ballack im schwarzen Ausweichtrikot mit der \u00dcberschrift ?RETURN OF ZE BLACK SHIRTS?; eine Anspielung auf die schwarzen Uniformen der SS. Weiter schreibt die Zeitung: ?Germany is set to kick up a Reich stink at the World Cup by playing in Nazi-style black shirts.? Links neben Ballack findet sich ein Bild von Adolf Hitler. Also alles wieder wie gehabt? Diese Frage will die vorliegende Arbeit kl\u00e4ren. Doch die Blickrichtung soll auch in die andere Richtung gehen, d. h. es soll untersucht werden, wie der deutsche Boulevard \u00fcber die englische Mannschaft berichtet und ob die Rivalit\u00e4t auf Beidseitigkeit beruht. Um ein m\u00f6glichst umfassendes Bild der gegenseitigen Fremdwahrnehmung zu erhalten wird zus\u00e4tzlich untersucht, wie ausgepr\u00e4gt der Nationalismus in der Fussballberichterstattung auf beiden Seiten vorhanden ist. Zur besseren Vergleichbarkeit werden in dieser Untersuchung die beiden auflagenst\u00e4rksten und einflussreichsten Boulevardzeitungen des jeweiligen Landes, THE SUN und BILD, miteinander verglichen.","merchants_number":1,"ean":9783954250646,"category_id":103,"size":null,"min_price":68.900000000000005684341886080801486968994140625,"low_price_merchant_id":70254503,"ID":4027602,"merchants":["orell-fuessli"],"brand":"undefined","slug":"at-least-the-germans-lost","url":"\/unterhaltung\/produkt\/at-least-the-germans-lost\/","low_price_merchant_name":"Orell F\u00fcssli"}
