With advancing technology, students are getting accustomed to evermore portable resources on their phones - pocketbook texts are therefore required to compete with this shift in approach. Where easy layouts assist with faster clinical reasoning, or ambulatory practice provides poor signal, printed text still out-competes digital technologies. Affordable and concise, this visually engaging concise textbook is easy to use as a revision aid and take on placement (veterinary EMS - Extra-mural studies). The spiralbound format allows it to lay flat when referred to in practice, adding another level of practical use. The emphasis will be on those things regularly available to general practitioners with minimal information of advanced techniques. Similar to the popular MiniVet guide, but for Equine: fills a gap for a concise, quick and easy practical reference for students in Equine practice. There’s a clear market for books that focus on best practices, protocols, and treatment management for equine pathologies and thus provide a direct clinical approach to cases and clinical reasoning. The book is clearly divided into sub-sections, i.e., etiology, differential diagnosis etc. This makes it simple to follow and useful to apply to cases. The high quantity of pictures and diagrams help understanding of each different condition. International readership Can be bought as a single text or as a package with other books in the Equine ConciseTextbook series Distills key information from 'Equine Clinical Medicine, Surgery and Reproduction 2E' which has previously been out of the student price range.

Absolute poverty causes about one third of all human deaths, some 18 million annually, and blights billions of lives with hunger and disease. Developing universalizable norms aimed at tackling absolute poverty and the complex and multilayered problems associated with it, this book considers the levels, trends and determinants of absolute poverty and global inequality. Examining whether much faster progress against absolute poverty is possible through reductions in national and global inequalities that produce economic growth for poor countries and households, this book suggests that diverse moral views imply that international agencies as well as the citizens, corporations and governments of affluent countries bear a moral responsibility to reduce absolute poverty. In considering strategies of eradication through specific policies and structural reforms it is argued that because of its moral importance and requirement for only modest efforts and resources, the goal of overcoming absolute poverty must be given much higher political priority by international agencies and governments of affluent countries. Suggesting that these agencies should be encouraged to facilitate and promote new initiatives, this book concludes with a discussion of how such initiatives might be realized.

This study makes avaluable contribution toscholarship onneo-platonic ethics and political philosophy as well as the theory of governance (Herrschaftstheorie)in Late Antiquity.

Kaiser Julians Invektive "Gegen den Kyniker Herakleios" bietet einen guten Einblick nicht nur in die aktive Teilnahme Julians an den philosophisch-religiösen Debatten seiner Zeit (hier mit einem besonderen Fokus auf die Frage, in welcher Weise Mythen zum Verständnis unserer Welt und ihrer Einbettung in eine übergreifende göttliche Ordnung beitragen können), sondern auch in das Selbstverständnis und Sendungsbewusstsein ihres Autors. Der hier vorgelegte Band enthält eine Einführung in den Autor und sein Werk, einen revidierten griechischen Text, eine neue Übersetzung mit Anmerkungen sowie sechs Beiträge aus verschiedenen Disziplinen (Klassische Philologie, Alte Geschichte, antike Philosophie und Religionswissenschaft), die die Bedeutung dieser Invektive im Kontext von Geschichte, Philosophie und Religion ihrer Zeit umfassend erschließen wollen.

Julian (331/32-363) wandte sich als einziger römischer Kaiser vom Christentum zurück zur alten Religion und versuchte, die Konstantinische Wende rückgängig zu machen. Dafür setzte er auch wieder stärker auf die imperiale römische Tradition der Sonnenverehrung. Der Hymnos auf den König Helios entfaltet in philosophischer Manier die kosmische, aber auch die politische Dimension des Helios und bietet so die theoretisch-ideologische Begründung von Julians anti-christlichen politisch-administrativen Maßnahmen, die er seit seinem Amtsantritt als Alleinherrscher 361 ergriffen hatte. Die hier vorliegende neue zweisprachige und kommentierte Ausgabe erläutert den philosophischen Kontext und Gehalt von Julians Solartheologie und beleuchtet den Text aus verschiedenen fachlichen Perspektiven philosophisch, religionswissenschaftlich, theologisch, historisch und literaturwissenschaftlich.

Das Vertrauen schwindet: Die B rger misstrauen der Politik, die Politik den B rgern. Viele Worte - Arbeit muss sich wieder lohnen, mehr Netto vom Brutto, mehr Freiheit wagen - aber keine Taten nach vier Jahren intensiver Diskussion kommt ein weiterentwickeltes Konzept des Solidarischen B rgergeldes auf die Tagesordnung. Es beinhaltet eine gro e Steuerreform mit einer einheitlichen solidarischen Einkommensteuer, ein bedingungsloses Grundeinkommen, eine steuerfinanzierte Gesundheitspr mie, eine Alterssicherung, die mit der Grundrente sowie der Zusatz- und der Elternrente wirklich wieder Alterslohn f r Lebensleistung ist. Das Institut f r neue soziale Antworten (INSA) weist nach, dass dieses bedingungslose Grundeinkommen den Wertgrundlagen der modernen Gesellschaft entspricht, dass es verfassungskonform umgesetzt werden kann und dass es finanzierbar ist.
