From one of the true creative geniuses of this generation comes a unique meditation on and celebration of the magic of the birth of a simple idea. Sparkling with visual wit and bubbling with imagination, this is a richly emotional exploration of the creative process: from an initial tentative inkling, to the frustration of chasing the wrong notion, to finally the exhilaration of capturing—and nurturing—just the right idea. I Have an Idea! is a scrumptious cloth-spined package of color and inspiration equally at home on a child's bookshelf, in a new graduate's backpack, or atop a creative's desk.

A guided journey through the inner workings of Earth, the cloaked mysteries of other planets in our solar system, and beyond.Extreme heat. Extreme cold. Extreme pressure. Toxic gases. Scorching magma flows, and ice volcanoes. Interior tides. Asteroids filled with gold. In What's Hidden Inside Planets? planetary scientist Dr. Sabine Stanley cracks the surface to reveal the beating heart of planets and what created them—from the building blocks of swirling cosmic dust, pebbles, and gas to coalesced planetesimal beginnings to the worlds we see today. We're only beginning to explore the secretive interiors of planets, where awe-inspiring wonders await. Our home planet is no exception. Earth, from space, looks like a shimmering gem suspended in an inky, infinite expanse. But this serene image masks the magnificent and volatile interior forces that make life possible for millions of species on the surface. The placid appearances of our neighboring planets similarly belie their powers—and science fiction-worthy features, like diamond rain. The daily machinations of Earth's deep interior make the planet a habitable, yet sometimes treacherous, place to live. Drill down thousands of miles through our built environments and soil, sand, water, rock, and minerals to the outer (mainly liquid iron with nickel) and inner core, encountering intense convection, roiling metals, hidden continents, and shifting tectonic plates. Discover the effects of magnetism, rotation, and seismic activity seen and sensed in the forms of auroras, hurricanes, volcanoes, and earthquakes, among other manifestations. Our neighboring planets boast their own fierce forces, along with moons covered by frozen oceans that might someday reveal extraterrestrial life. Join this exciting journey to far-flung interstellar locations and the center of the Earth to learn what lies beneath our feet, and why it's the best real estate in our solar system.

Der Band unternimmt den Versuch, angesichts drängender biopolitischer Themen Demokratie- und Grundrechtstheorie neu aufeinander zu beziehen. An den Grenzen des biologischen Lebens wird Grundrechtsauslegung schnell zum Austausch inkompatibler moralischer Vorannahmen und verfassungstheoretischer Vorverständnisse. Das stellt die auf Eindeutigkeit hin ausgelegte Steuerungskraft der Grundrechte in Frage. Die Beiträger gehen der Frage nach, ob sich der anthropologisch-normative Gewissheitsverlust, der sich in der Vielfalt der Grundrechtsauslegungen zeigt, mithilfe der demokratischen Formensprache des Grundgesetzes kompensieren lässt. Die "Wiedergewinnung des Menschen", der im Ritual der Gegenüberstellung jeweils "richtiger" Grundrechtsauslegungen gleichsam normativ verloren geht, wäre dann - als "demokratisches Projekt" - möglich.

This is a book about Edward Weston before he was Edward Weston – before he was the renowned modernist photographer we know so well. His early years in the field coincided exactly with the height of the Pictorialist movement in America, and while he was never a typical practitioner, he did make photographs that borrowed themes from paintings and other media, and experimented with soft-focused imagery that sometimes look more like graphite drawings or inky dark prints than photographs. He would later disavow the gauzy, painterly experiments of his early years, claiming in his Daybooks that ‘even as I made the soft “artistic” work...I would secretly admire sharp, clean, technically perfect photographs.’ Introducing rare surviving prints from the unplumbed holdings of the Lane Collection at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, this book offers new insights into Weston’s working methods and his evolution as a photographer. By taking a longer and more nuanced view of his early years, and by reinserting his first experiments back into the larger story of his artistic production, it reveals the variety of ways in which the paths he took as a young man led him to become the mature modernist master. Beautifully reproduced examples of Weston’s most important early work, essays explaining their place in his oeuvre, and a section dedicated to the variety of Weston’s early materials and techniques make this book a must-have resource.

Der Schutz von Betriebs- und Geschäftsgeheimnissen ist nicht nur für das einzelne Unternehmen mit Blick auf seine Wettbewerbsposition zentral, sondern auch für den Erhalt von Wettbewerb schlechthin. Das deutsche Zivilverfahrensrecht bietet diesen Schutz kaum. Im Gegenteil: Der Gesetzgeber, die Rechtsprechung und die Wissenschaft formten seit Inkrafttreten der ZPO ein weitreichendes System der zivilprozessualen Informationsbeschaffung und bauen dieses bis heute beständig aus. Diese Rechtslage ebnet den Weg zu gleichsam legaler Industriespionage. Ausgehend von diesem Befund stellt Andreas Götz dem System der prozessualen Informationsbeschaffung ein System des prozessualen Geheimnisschutzes an die Seite. Er behandelt hierbei neben dem Erkenntnisverfahren in seinen verschiedenen Ausprägungen die praktisch bedeutsame vorprozessuale Informationsbeschaffung sowie das Vollstreckungsverfahren.

Mit der Rom III-Verordnung, durch die sich mehrere EU-Mitgliedsstaaten im Wege der Verstärkten Zusammenarbeit auf einheitliche Kollisionsnormen für die Ehescheidung verständigt haben, hat die Europäische Union erstmalig für eine zentrale familienrechtliche Frage eigenständige europäische Kollisionsregeln entwickelt. Aus diesem Anlass untersucht Claudia Raupach das Scheidungskollisionsrecht in der Europäischen Union, wie es sich nach Inkrafttreten der Verordnung darstellt. Dabei unterzieht sie nicht nur die neugeschaffene Verordnung einer tiefgreifenden und detaillierten Analyse und Bewertung, sondern nimmt auch die einschlägigen Kollisionsnormen der nichtteilnehmenden Mitgliedstaaten sowie die Gründe für deren Nichtteilnahme in den Blick. Auf diese Weise gelingt es ihr, neben den inhaltlichen Vorzügen und Problemen der Verordnung auch Gemeinsamkeiten und Kompromissmöglichkeiten mit den nichtteilnehmenden Mitgliedstaaten zu beleuchten und Wege zur Weiterentwicklung des europäischen internationalen Familienrechts aufzuzeigen.

For the past few hundred years, Western cultures have relied on print. When writing was accomplished by a quill pen, inkpot, and paper, it was easy to imagine that writing was nothing more than a means by which writers could transfer their thoughts to readers. The proliferation of technical media in the latter half of the twentieth century has revealed that the relationship between writer and reader is not so simple. From telegraphs and typewriters to wire recorders and a sweeping array of digital computing devices, the complexities of communications technology have made mediality a central concern of the twenty-first century. Despite the attention given to the development of the media landscape, relatively little is being done in our academic institutions to adjust. In Comparative Textual Media, editors N. Katherine Hayles and Jessica Pressman bring together an impressive range of essays from leading scholars to address the issue, among them Matthew Kirschenbaum on archiving in the digital era, Patricia Crain on the connection between a child’s formation of self and the possession of a book, and Mark Marino exploring how to read a digital text not for content but for traces of its underlying code. Primarily arguing for seeing print as a medium along with the scroll, electronic literature, and computer games, this volume examines the potential transformations if academic departments embraced a media framework. Ultimately, Comparative Textual Media offers new insights that allow us to understand more deeply the implications of the choices we, and our institutions, are making.

Der amerikanische "Alien Tort Claims Act" (ATCA) wurde nach seinem Inkrafttreten im Jahr 1789 zunächst wenig beachtet. Durch die bahnbrechende Entscheidung Filartiga v. Pena-Irala gewann der ATCA jedoch unerwartet Bedeutung für die Geltendmachung internationaler Menschenrechte vor amerikanischen Bundesgerichten. Seit den 1980er-Jahren bildet das Gesetz die Grundlage einer Reihe umstrittener und vielseitig diskutierter Gerichtsentscheidungen. Inga Meyer beleuchtet die komplexen Hintergründe und Zusammenhänge der ATCA-Gerichtsbarkeit. Sie legt die historischen Hintergründe dar und analysiert richtungsweisende Gerichtsurteile. Sie untersucht zentral die mögliche Rechtmäßigkeit von ATCA-Klagen aus völkerrechtlicher Perspektive, bevor sie das Gesetz und seine Anwendung aus Sicht der amerikanischen Exekutive und ihrer Außenpolitik hinterfragt.

First published in 1975, The Cage was a graphic novel before there was a name for the genre. Considered an early masterpiece of the genre, the Canadian cult comic has been out of print for decades. The new edition includes an introduction by Canadian comics master and Lemony Snicket collaborator Seth (Palookaville; It's a Good Life, If You Don't Weaken). Cryptic and disturbing, like Dave Gibbons (Watchmen) illustrating a film by Ozu, The Cage spurns narrative for atmosphere, guiding us through a series of disarrayed rooms and desolate landscapes, tracking a stuttering and circling time and a sequence of objects: headphones, inky stains, bedsheets. It's not about where we're going but how -- if -- we get there.

Imagination and experience are two of the great inkwells with which fiction is written. In these stories, combining imagination and real life, Rolanda MartiÑÁ also speaks about his deep therapeutic experience. Love—especially the difficulty associated with it—is a constant theme throughout these stories. La imaginaciÓn y la experiencia son los dos grandes tinteros con los que se escribe la ficciÓn; cada escritor hace la mezcla a su modo. En estos cuentos, al combinar lo imaginado y lo vivido, Rolando MartiÑÁ deja hablar tambiÉn a su profunda experiencia terapÉutica. El amor -y sobre todo la dificultad del amor- recorre estas ficciones. A veces MartiÑÁ elige la contundencia y la sorpresa del relato breve, donde cada palabra es imprescindible; otras veces los hechos dejan paso a la reflexiÓn y a la melancolÍa. Casi siempre estÁ presente el humor, o mejor, la ironÍa, que es la distancia convertida en humor.

Das Akteneinsichtsrecht gem. § 147 StPO ist seit Inkrafttreten der Reichsstrafprozessordnung am 01.10.1879 fester Bestandteil des Strafverfahrensrechts. Die Vorschrift sieht ein Akteneinsichts- und Beweisstückbesichtigungsrecht zur Verteidigung im Strafverfahren vor. Doch was ist von diesen Akten und Beweisstücken umfasst und inwieweit besteht ein Einsichts- sowie Besichtigungsrecht? Da Strafverfolgungsbehörden mit der fortschreitenden Digitalisierung jeglicher Lebensbereiche heutzutage deutlich mehr Informationsmaterial als zu früheren Zeiten erlangen, stellen sich derartige Fragen immer häufiger. Der Gesetzgeber hat jüngst die elektronische Akte im Strafverfahren eingeführt und Formvorgaben für die Akteneinsichtsgewährung implementiert. Die Reichweite von § 147 StPO ist jedoch ungeklärt geblieben. Saber Meglalu untersucht, was zu den Akten und Beweisstücken zählt und wie weit das Einsichts- sowie Besichtigungsrecht reicht. Hierbei geht er auch der Frage nach, wie digitales Ermittlungsmaterial, insbesondere solches aus Telekommunikationsüberwachungen, im Kontext von § 147 StPO einzuordnen ist.

What prevents you from finishing your life's work?Josh Bayer finds a manuscript of an unfinished play inside his deceased father's desk. The play tells the story of Josh's mother's early death (age 37) and his father's struggle with single parenthood. When he attempts to adapt the play into comics, it triggers a series of personal crises. Bayer's limitations and futile ambitions are brought into sharp relief as he grapples with an estranged, unknowable parent and the play's frustrating lack of resolution.Humans worship lore, myth, and fables, but many people's creative dreams become abandoned. Why?Bayer's inky line, tangled textures, and kaleidoscopic color boldly fuse on the page into comic book semiotics, flights of grandeur, and tangents inside tangents. Josh Bayer stitches scattered memories into surrealistic episodes permeated with dream logic. Unended is a Promethean quest to excavate the creative fire hidden inside us.
