![]() Geoökonomie: Finanzmärkte und wirtschaftliche Ressourcen als Hebel staatlicher Macht (nuggets) Deutsch | 19 Jan. 2026 | ASIN: B0GHNL2F8Y | 354 Seiten | EPUB (True) | 6.52 MB Der Begriff der Geoökonomie hat sich in der politischen Debatte seit einigen Jahren zu einer beliebten Vokabel entwickelt. Ziel dieser Darstellung ist es, einen einführenden Überblick über die geoökonomischen Verhältnisse unserer Welt aus einer Vogelperspektive zu geben. Zentrales Thema dieses Buches ist das Handeln von Staaten im Kontext geopolitischer Realitäten und ökonomischer Machtverhältnisse. Der Autor spannt den Bogen von der Berücksichtigung historischer, rechtlicher, ökonomischer, kultureller und soziologischer Aspekte über die wichtigsten ökonomischen Machtfaktoren, die den Staaten zur Durchsetzung ihrer politischen Ziele zur Verfügung stehen, bis hin zur Betrachtung einzelner Staaten, ihres Handelns und ihrer Einbettung in ein globales System. Das vorliegende Buch leistet einen Beitrag zum Grundverständnis geoökonomischen Handelns in der realen Welt. Konkret werden u.a. folgende Fragen behandelt: Wie werden geoökonomische Hebel gegen Wettbewerber eingesetzt? Welche Optionen bestehen für die Lösung bestehender globaler Konflikte? ![]() Georgian Feminists: Ten 18th Century Women Ahead of their Time by Rebecca Sophia Katherine Wilson English | April 28, 2025 | ISBN: 139906925X | 268 pages | MOBI | 3.64 Mb Highlights ten extraordinary Georgian women who defied societal norms, challenging patriarchy and shaping history with their trailblazing contributions. ![]() Geography and History: Bridging the Divide By Alan R. H. Baker 2003 | 296 Pages | ISBN: 0521246830 | PDF | 7 MB Alan Baker considers locational geographies and spatial histories, environmental geographies and environmental histories, landscape geographies and landscape histories, and regional geographies and regional histories. Seeking to bridge the "Great Divide" between history and geography, Baker identifies basic principles relating historical geography not only to history but also to geography, a reworking which signifies a "new beginning" for this scholarly hybrid. ![]() Geoffrey Chaucer (Authors in Context) (Oxford World's Classics) by Peter Brown English | September 25, 2011 | ISBN: 0192804294, 9780191620706 | True EPUB | 272 pages | 3 MB Chaucer lived through a period of extraordinary upheaval: a protracted war with France, devastating plague, the peasants' revolt, religious controversy, and the overthrow of the king. Compact and comprehensive, this book offers a wide-ranging account of the medieval society from which works such as The Canterbury Tales and Troilus and Criseyde sprang, and shows how these and other works manifest that society in fictional form. Significant aspects of the literary scene, such as patronage, audience, and performance, help to place Chaucer's practices in their historical framework, and his treatment of love, paganism, and reality are framed within their intellectual and philosophical contexts. The modern reception of Chaucer in film and television adaptations is also examined. Seen through the lens of his cultural experience, this is the perfect critical companion to Chaucer's life and poetry. ![]() Geoengineering and Climate Change: Methods, Risks, and Governance (Astrobiology Perspectives on Life in the Universe) by Martin Beech English | January 29, 2025 | ISBN: 1394204388 | 480 pages | PDF | 179 Mb This important and timely book assembles expert scientists from both sides of the debate to discuss Earth-based and space-based climate intervention technologies including the scale, deployment, risk management, and moral philosophy behind these technologies. ![]() Geocomputation with Python by Michael Dorman, Anita Graser, Jakub Nowosad English | February 14, 2025 | ISBN: 1032460652 | 344 pages | MOBI | 13 Mb Geocomputation with Python is a comprehensive resource for working with geographic data with the most popular programming language in the world.

At times edgy and experimental, but also capable of great beauty - not to mention some of the greatest riffs known to man - the group's explorations of medieval music gave their sound its unique character. But it was the thrilling complexity of their compositions - which Frank Zappa might have called the 'statistical density' of their writing - together with the instrumental ability of its players, that make their music as potent today as it was at their peak nearly 50 years ago when albums like Octopus and The Power And The Glory helped define the progressive rock era. ![]() Genre in a Changing World By Charles Bazerman, Adair Bonini, Debora Figueiredo 2009 | 520 Pages | ISBN: 1602351252 | PDF | 4 MB Genre studies and genre approaches to literacy instruction continue to develop in many regions and from a widening variety of approaches. Genre has provided a key to understanding the varying literacy cultures of regions, disciplines, professions, and educational settings. GENRE IN A CHANGING WORLD provides a wide-ranging sampler of the remarkable variety of current work. The twenty-four chapters in this volume, reflecting the work of scholars in Europe, Australasia, and North and South America, were selected from the over 400 presentations at SIGET IV (the Fourth International Symposium on Genre Studies) held on the campus of UNISUL in Tubar?o, Santa Catarina, Brazil in August 2007-the largest gathering on genre to that date. The chapters also represent a wide variety of approaches, including rhetoric, Systemic Functional Linguistics, media and critical cultural studies, sociology, phenomenology, enunciation theory, the Geneva school of educational sequences, cognitive psychology, relevance theory, sociocultural psychology, activity theory, Gestalt psychology, and schema theory. Sections are devoted to theoretical issues, studies of genres in the professions, studies of genre and media, teaching and learning genre, and writing across the curriculum. The broad selection of material in this volume displays the full range of contemporary genre studies and sets the ground for a next generation of work. Contributors include John M. Swales, Paul Prior, Maria Ant?nia Coutinho, Florencia Miranda, F?bio Jos? Rauen, Cristiane Fuzer, Nina C?lia Barros, Leonardo Mozdzenski, Kimberly K. Emmons, Natasha Artemeva.

PERSPECTIVES ON WRITING Series Editor, Michael Palmquist The WAC CLEARINGHOUSE AND PARLOR PRESS ![]() Genome Editing for Pest Management by Habib Ali, Yutao Xiao English | July 24, 2025 | ISBN: 1032764910 | 186 pages | MOBI | 5.66 Mb This book comprehensively reviews the transformative potential of genome editing in insect pest management. The introductory chapter explores the importance of genome sequencing and its role in understanding pest biology and control. The subsequent chapters provide a thorough examination of CRISPR/Cas9 and other genome editing tools, discussing ethical and regulatory aspects. The following chapters introduce precision pest control strategies, including gene drive technologies and enhanced sterile insect techniques, and discuss integrating omics into integrated pest management (IPM) strategies. Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) enhanced with genome editing, its limitations, and various applications in pest control are discussed. The final chapter reviews the challenges, ethical considerations, risk assessment, safety protocols, biosecurity measures, the need for regulatory frameworks, and international cooperation in genome editing for pest management. As such, this book is a valuable source for scientists, researchers, and professionals in the fields of entomology, genetics, and agricultural science. |
