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.

Catalina Quiroga is a Condesa without a country. She’s lost the Inkasisa throne, the loyalty of her people, and her best friend. Banished to the perilous Yanu Jungle, Catalina knows her chances of survival are slim, but that won’t stop her from trying to escape. Her duty is to rule. While running for her life, Catalina is rescued by Manuel, the son of her former general who has spent years searching for allies. With his help, Catalina could find the city of gold that’s home to the fierce Illari people and strike a deal with them for an army to retake her throne. But the elusive Illari are fighting a battle of their own - a mysterious blight is corrupting the jungle, laying waste to everything they hold dear. As a seer, Catalina should be able to help, but her ability to read the future in the stars is as feeble as her survival instincts. While searching for the Illari, Catalina must reckon with her duty and her heart to find her true calling, which is key to stopping the corruption before it destroys the jungle completely.

Paperweight collectors are usually familiar with the histories and products of the French manufacturers Clichy, Baccarat, and Saint Louis, but many know little about English makers from early times to the present day. This book, dedicated solely to the English paperweight makers and containing paperweight examples from the early nineteenth century to 1980, will fill that gap. Gathered together for the first time in one book are the world's largest collections of Bacchus paperweights, as well as many previously unknown and never before photographed paperweights from English glasshouses, all rivaling the best from the French makers. By comparing canes, colors, and styles with one of the hundreds of examples shown in this book, collectors should now be able to identify their own previously unknown weights, and the fake "1848" dated paperweights and inkwells can now be attributed to the right factories and time periods. With over 400 beautiful color photographs, detailed, fascinating descriptions of the weights, and a value guide, this book is a must for paperweight enthusiasts and collectors everywhere.

Wie viel Einheit, wie viel Vielfalt braucht bzw. verträgt das europäische Datenschutzrecht? Dieser seit Inkrafttreten der Datenschutz-Grundverordnung mit neuer Vehemenz und Dringlichkeit diskutierten Frage nimmt sich Raoul-Darius Veit an und entwickelt einen funktionalen Ansatz. Er zeigt auf, welche spezifischen Anforderungen der Datenschutz an seine effektive und zugleich praktikable rechtliche Gestaltung stellt - sowohl im vertikalen Verhältnis der EU-Mitgliedstaaten als auch im horizontalen Verhältnis zu anderen Rechtsmaterien. Darauf aufbauend erarbeitet er funktionale Kategorien für die sog. "Öffnungsklauseln" zu Gunsten der Mitgliedstaaten. Die von ihm angebotene Perspektive ist auch in der rechtspraktischen, institutionellen Dimension, beispielsweise für die vertikale und horizontale Aufgabenverteilung zwischen Gerichten und Datenschutzbehörden anschlussfähig und weiterführend.

Das polnische Militär war wie kaum eine andere Institution an der Gründung und Ausgestaltung der Zweiten Polnischen Republik beteiligt. Ob und in welchem Maße Staatsbürger, die nicht der polnischen Mehrheitsgesellschaft angehörten, Zugang zu den Streitkräften erhalten sollten, war umstritten. Besonders deutlich trat das Spannungsverhältnis zwischen der allgemeinen Wehrpflicht und dem Nationalisierungsanspruch der Armee im polnisch-jüdischen Verhältnis zutage. Es war geprägt von der Gleichzeitigkeit aus Ablehnung und Kooperation, Ausschluss und Inkorporation. Dies spiegelte sich sowohl im militärischen Alltag als auch in der Erinnerungskultur wider. Christhardt Henschel macht diese ebenso vielschichtige wie widersprüchliche Beziehung sichtbar. Zugleich zeigt er, dass der Umgang des polnischen Militärs mit seinen jüdischen Wehrpflichtigen stellvertretend für die Minderheitenpolitik der sich nach dem Zerfall der imperialen Vorkriegsordnung konstituierenden Republik steht. Dabei wird der starke Einfluss nationaler Gedächtnisnarrative und normativer Vorstellungen des 19. Jahrhunderts deutlich, die die Aushandlungsprozesse um Fragen der Emanzipation, Gleichberechtigung und nationalen Zugehörigkeit der jüdischen Bevölkerung bis zum Beginn des Zweiten Weltkrieges begleitet hat. Auf diese Weise entsteht ein differenziertes Bild des polnisch-jüdischen Verhältnisses zwischen 1918 und 1939.

Psychology is everywhere. Our emotions and desires, the decisions we make on a daily basis - absolutely every aspect of the way we think and feel has been studied by psychologists. Through dozens of interactive puzzles, IQ tests, quizzes, jokes, puns and visual illusions, Ben Ambridge guides us through this wealth of research, showing us how we can better understand ourselves. Debunking tabloid speculation, revisiting old favourites such as the Stanford Prison Experiment and unearthing bleeding edge research unknown to the general reader, renowned psychologist Ben Ambridge blows away the received wisdom to reveal to enthusiasts and novices alike the psychology behind our daily lives. With wit and humour aplenty, he explains whether your blue eyes make you more or less trustworthy, how analogies can help cure cancer, whether Rorschach's famous inkblot tests really work, what your love for heavy metal (or Mozart) says about you, how psychology could help solve the obesity crisis and countless other revealing, entertaining and downright astonishing tests of your Psy-Q.

Unvarnished. Punk. The New York Times. King-Cat Classix collects material from the first fifty issues of John Porcellino s King-Cat Comics as they appeared in self-published, handmade zines throughout the 1990s. These strips span Porcellino s dynamic evolution from saturated, punk drawings to his characteristic refined minimalism, revealing his work as nothing short of a catalyst that has inspired artists like Chris Ware in the emerging literary comics scene. In the inky drawings featuring beloved pets, awkward teenage one-night-stands, and everyday blunders, we see a nascent style steeped in truth and transparency one that continues to ring true today. Porcellino s mind is spread out on the page, with an uninhibited id running wildly about dreams and sexual fantasies, not unlike the gritty, stabbing pen strokes of Julie Doucet. He sketches fragmented moments and glimpses of interaction that seem to reflect the very manner in which we process memory: we are made up of a stream of consciousness, captured in fleeting mental images, and Porcellino externalizes that messy internal reality. Follow along the path of Porcellino s dynamic evolution and relish in the inspirational power of this groundbreaking collection.

A classic American success story with a twist Like J. P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, and Andrew Carnegie, Marshall Field was one of the overlords of triumphant capitalism in the Gilded Age of the late nineteenth century. However, his phenomenal wealth and generous philanthropy masked a disastrous personal life. Deserted by his wife and alienated from his children, the founder of the Field dynasty left a legacy of immense wealth and misery to match. The Marshall Fields recounts the classic tale of Field s spectacular success as well as the tragic story of a man who, while making millions by knowing what women wanted, had no inkling of his own wife s emotional needs. This revealing account follows the next five generations of the Field family, concentrating on the most important and controversial figures in each generation. What emerges is a startling saga of money, madness, and mystery. From the son who may have been shot by a chorus girl to the great-great grandson who used his millions to create Hollywood fantasies, Field s descendants have caromed wildly between rebellion and folly. Their story offers a new and penetrating take on wealth, success, and the nightmare that often accompanies the American dream.

A lavishly illustrated collector’s volume, this book is a wonderful introduction to the historic and ever-popular line of Wedgwood ceramics called Jasper Ware.

Included are chapters on Wedgwood Jasper history, colors, and marks as well as supplements about Wedgwood Jasper jewelry and the classical mythology used for the bas-relief figures. A significant portion of the book illustrates many of the hundreds of shapes that Wedgwood produced, including biscuit barrels, bud vases, candlesticks, cruet sets, bowls, inkwells, and jardinières, to name only a few. Over 500 vivid photographs illustrate these shapes, and detailed information as well as current values are included in each caption.

Man entnehme der Eizelle einer Kinderwunschpatientin in vitro den Zellkern, transferiere ihn in die ebenfalls zuvor entkernte Eizellhülle einer fremden Frau und verwende die modifizierte Eizelle im Anschluss zur Befruchtung - so der Ansatz der Mitochondrienersatztherapie. Verhindert werden soll auf diese Weise eine über das mütterliche Eizellzytoplasma erfolgende Vererbung defekter Mitochondrien, die andernfalls eine u.U. schwere Erkrankung des Abkömmlings zur Folge haben könnte.Das 1991 als Strafgesetz in Kraft getretene Embryonenschutzgesetz verbietet den Austausch dieser Zellbestandteile dennoch - wenn auch nicht lückenlos. Maja Caroline Lehmann analysiert die bestehenden Strafbarkeitsrisiken und erarbeitet einen Reformvorschlag, der die aufgedeckte Inkonsistenz des geltenden Rechts beseitigt und eine einzelfallbezogene begrenzte Zulassung der Methode ermöglicht. Abschließend überprüft sie die sich dabei ergebenden grundrechtlichen Beschränkungen auf ihre verfassungsrechtliche Legitimation.

We all hate printers. This book documents why. Maybe it's the behemoth copier at work. Or the one you use to print boarding passes at home. Or maybe it's the one that haunts your nightmares to this day, the one that never seemed to work, not since the first day you plugged it in. We all have a printer in our lives that we would love to see taken down a notch. From the first consumer inkjet to more modern monstrosities, Sh*tty Printers breaks down the worst offenders of our home offices. Featuring popular and exasperating home staples such as: • The HP Thinkjet 2225A • The Lexmark Z22 • The long forgotten Canon BJC-85 • and many more Each printer is beautifully photographed and ruthlessly torn to shreds as their individual strengths, weaknesses, and charisma are scored on sliding scales born from relatable frustration.

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.

Das Verhältnis des Europäischen Zivilprozessrechts zur Schiedsgerichtsbarkeit ist seit jeher umstritten. Doch gerade während des siebenjährigen Revisionsprozesses bis zum Inkrafttreten der Brüssel Ia-VO hat sich eine Debatte entwickelt, die an Umfang und Intensität kaum zu übertreffen ist. Das schwierigste und relevanteste Szenario betrifft grenzüberschreitende Parallelverfahren vor staatlichen Gerichten und Schiedsgerichten. Sebastian Breder durchleuchtet die möglichen Mechanismen zur Unterbindung des jeweils anderen Parallelverfahrens, insbesondere den Erlass von Prozessführungsverboten, die Berufung auf die materielle Rechtskraft und die Geltendmachung von Schadensersatz wegen der Verletzung der Schiedsabrede. Zudem untersucht er, wie der Konflikt der Hauptsacheentscheidungen aufgelöst werden kann, wenn beide Parallelverfahren mit widersprüchlichen Ergebnissen zu Ende geführt wurden. Dabei fächert er aus Sicht deutscher, englischer und französischer Gerichte die verschiedenen Fallkonstellationen präzise auf. Das macht die Arbeit zu einer wertvollen Quelle - für Akademiker und Praktiker gleichermaßen. Die Arbeit wurde mit dem Förderpreis (1. Platz) der Deutschen Institution für Schiedsgerichtsbarkeit e.V. (DIS) für die Jahre 2021/2022 ausgezeichnet.

But when he is ushered by a servant into their house on Kraków’s fashionable Bernadyńska street in the winter of 1937, he has no inkling of the way his life will become entangled with the Oderfeldts'.

Tobias Funke untersucht in dieser Studie intertextuell die Konstruktion und Rezeption der Figur des Priesters Pinhas in den Texten der Hebräischen Bibel sowie in der zwischentestamentlichen Literatur der Zeit des Zweiten Tempels in Jerusalem und ordnet die Ergebnisse literar-, sozial- sowie religionsgeschichtlich ein.Die literarische Figur des Pinhas wurde von priesterlichen Gruppen JHWH-Gläubiger in hellenistischer Zeit konstruiert und verwendet, um in Konkurrenz mit anderen Priesterschaften sowie nicht-priesterlichen Gruppierungen den sowohl kultischen als auch profanen (inklusive militärischen) Machtanspruch ihres Hohepriesters als Führer des Tempelstaates zu legitimieren (Num 25,6-13; 31,6; Sir 45,23; 50,24; 1Makk 2,26). Inschriftenfunde vom Berg Garizim belegen die herausragende Rolle des Pinhas für die dort ansässige JHWH-Gemeinschaft und legen seinen Status als genealogische Identifikationsfigur nahe. Eine sich ändernde Einstellung gegenüber der Figur des Priesters Pinhas kann anhand von Unterschieden in den hebräischen, griechischen und lateinischen Textzeugen nachgewiesen werden.

Drawing is at the heart of human creativity. The most democratic form of art-making, it requires nothing more than a plain surface and a stub of pencil, a piece of chalk or an inky brush. Our prehistoric ancestors drew with natural pigments on the walls of caves, and every subsequent culture has practised drawingwhether on papyrus, parchment, or paper. Artists throughout history have used drawing as part of the creative process. While painting and sculpture have been shaped heavily by money and influence, drawing has always offered extraordinary creative latitude. Here we see the artist at his or her most unguarded. Susan Owens offers a glimpse over artists' shouldersfrom Michelangelo, Rembrandt, and Hokusai to Van Gogh, Käthe Kollwitz, and Yayoi Kusamaas they work, think, and innovate, as they scrutinise the world around them or escape into imagination. The Story of Drawing loops around the established history of art, sometimes staying close, at other times diving into exhilara

Labour leader Harold Wilson was once asked how difficult he found being prime minister of the United Kingdom. Not half as difficult as being Leader of the Opposition', he replied. Sadly for the Labour Party, much of the last century has been spent in shadow government. But were these wasted years in the Party's history?Or did they offer vital opportunities for creation and improvement? InKeeping the Red Flag Flyingpolitical historians Mark Garnett, Gavin Hyman and Richard Johnson offer the first in-depth account of Labour's periods out of office since becoming the Official Opposition in 1922. They argue that, far from being barren periods in the Party's history, Labour's opposition years from MacDonald to Starmer have been undervalued and misunderstood. Across the book's eight chapters they scrutinise Labour's approach to reforming the party machinery, its development of policy proposals, its success in appealing to the wider electorate and its skill in opposing the government to ident

Although the colonies in the West Indies were as important to the expanding British empire as those in North America, writings from the British West Indies have been conspicuously absent from anthologies of 17th- and 18th-century British literature. In this literary anthology dedicated to the region, Thomas W. Krise gathers descriptions, poems, narratives, satires and essays written in and about this culturally rich and politically tempestuous region. The text offers period commentaries on slavery, colonialism, gender relations, African and European history, natural history, agriculture and medicine. Highlights include several of the earliest protests against slavery; an ode by the Cambridge-educated Afro-Jamaican poet Francis Williams; James Grainger's extended georgic poem, "The Sugar Cane"; Frances Seymour's poignant tale of the Englishman Inkle who sells his Indian saviour-lover Yarico into slavery; and several descriptions of the West Indies during the early years of settlement.

His photographs are of an old-fashioned beauty and at the same time radically contemporary. Flower by flower Bas Meeuws composes his floral still lifes, but digitally: the basis for Meeuws' monumental works are digital photographs of individual flowers. They allude to the Dutch masters of the seventeenth century with their sense of luxury and their eye for the ephemeral. Meeuws strikes a chord in the art world with his flower still lifes. He is represented by Dutch, American, Taiwanese and Indian galleries and exhibits from Amsterdam to New Delhi. "Flowers represent the circle of life for me as well as the short time of real beauty - Carpe Diem" - Bas Meeuws. "Meeuws' assortment of flowers, seem to emerge yet elapse into their inky black backdrops, reveling in sharpness, flaunting texture, pore and vein." - Newspaper The Hindu.

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.

Im dritten Band seines hauptsächlich gegen valentinianische "Erkenntnis" (Gnosis) und gegen Markion gerichteten Hauptwerkes - es ist zugleich die erste Dogmatik der Kirche - zeigt der südgallische Bischof von Lyon um 185 n.Chr., wie mit Hilfe des Corpus Johanneum wesentliche theologische Herausforderungen der Gnosis biblisch-theologisch beantwortet werden können. Dies betrifft hermeneutische Fragen nach Schrift und Tradition ebenso wie die zentralen Fragen nach Gott und nach Jesus Christus. Thematisch wird dies anhand der Einheit Gottes, seinem Schöpfersein, der Inkarnation und der Soteriologie aufgezeigt. Dabei ist Irenäus der erste Autor, der mit hoher Wortlautgenauigkeit und unter ausdrücklichem Hinweis auf die Quelle zitiert und so als erster eine biblisch-heilsgeschichtliche Theologie entwirft. Bernhard Mutschler untersucht Aufbau und Einheit des dritten Buches sowie die verschiedene Reihenfolge der Evangelien bei Irenäus. Er kommentiert alle bisher identifizierten sowie neu aufgefundenen Bezugnahmen auf das Evangelium nach Johannes, die Johannesbriefe und die Johannesapokalypse.
