Integral to the commercial law field, Intellectual Property (IP)
knowledge is central to culture, innovation, and enterprise.
Looking forward to the new academic norm, Teaching Intellectual
Property Law: Strategy and Management uses experience as well as
interactive, practice-based methods for teaching IP to examine the
various ways through which to move on from 'chalk and talk'
methods. Crucial to science, technology, art, fashion and creative
industries as well as to business creation and management, it is
unsurprising that IP surfaces in curricula within and beyond the
law school. Providing multiple examples, exercises and teaching
tips to identify the transferable aspects of IP teaching, this book
provides educators with new approaches to tailor content delivery
to their students. Focused on the profile of the contemporary
learner, it invites educators to adopt new approaches to impart
knowledge that will empower IP students of all disciplines, at all
levels. Teaching Intellectual Property Law: Strategy and Management
will be a useful resource for higher education law academics
offering Intellectual Property education modules in law schools, to
facilitate contemporary approaches to traditional law school
content. It will also be of value to tertiary educators inspired,
or instructed, to include IP education in their programmes as well
as enterprise and entrepreneurship educators and trainers, to
further IP relevance to enterprise and entrepreneurship.

In this book on Dietrich Bonhoeffer, author Sabine Dramm examines
the twentieth century's best-known German pastor and theologian.
This is a book about Bonhoeffer's vibrant Christian faith and his
profound yet very practical theological thinking. Although Dietrich
Bonhoeffer's passionate life and dramatic death are familiar
territory, this book examines his life and the death he accepted in
resistance to Hitler in the context of his faith and thought, as
found in his own writings. Dramm explores Bonhoeffer's sermons,
letters, articles, and books. She offers her readers an outstanding
introduction to the breadth of his writing and the depth of his
theological thinking, and traces how Bonhoeffer's beliefs and
understandings led him to active resistance to the Nazi regime: to
the establishment of alternative church groups, to espionage, and
ultimately to conspiracy to overthrow the government by
assassinating Hitler.

While many books provide guidance to the construction of theory,
the process of theorizing itself has been addressed far less. The
aim of this book is to encourage researchers to reflect upon their
subjective theorizing practices and to engage in dialogue about
theorizing in organization studies. Drawing on interviews with
eight key figures in the field, this book provides guidance for how
to theorize, and how to do so well, using the key tools of the
theorizers. Providing rich insights, these interviews with
Professors David Boje, Barbara Czarniawska, Kenneth Gergen, Tor
Hernes, Geert Hofstede, Edgar Schein, Andrew Van de Ven and Karl
Weick give an opportunity to learn from some of the most successful
theorists in the field of organization studies. By addressing
aspects of theorizing which seek to make it a personal and
meaningful endeavour, this book goes beyond the sole aim of getting
published and encourages the reader to develop their own unique way
of theorizing. This book will be an invaluable tool for graduate
researchers and scholars looking to refine their theorizing
practices in order to produce outstanding theoretical work. Its
insights will also be of use for anyone seeking to breathe new life
into their work, with its insightful commentary on the practices of
successful theorists.
When children make beautiful drawings, we think it is wonderful.
But many adults find it hard to understand what young children are
doing when they scribble, smear, or draw endless lines, and why it
is so difficult to motivate older children to draw or paint. This
book shows that creativity is so much more than drawing or painting
something beautiful. It is a way of understanding the world through
your hands and learning through art, play and science. Drawing on
the Reggio Emilia approach (among others), this book focuses on the
process rather than the result and argues that children should be
supported in experimenting with materials and mark-making. The
authors go against traditional setups where an adult demonstrates
how it should be done, showing instead that an inspiring
environment and open-ended resources trigger children’s intrinsic
motivation. The book shows countless inexpensive possibilities,
which require little preparation, and get children in a creative
flow. With its appealing full colour photographs, this fully
updated English edition offers inspiration, a sustainable and
feasible vision, and tools for facilitating creative processes at
school, in childcare centres and at home. Full of practical
guidance, it is essential reading for anyone working with children
wanting to help them develop into self-aware, creative, and
responsible people.

It is evident that modernity is a popular mountain for analysis and
reflection of a largely controversial nature. Numerous theories
have also been written about the beginning as well as the end of
modernity. The aim of Modernologies is to achieve an account of the
state of artistic research and to discuss selected contributions to
the subject matter that appears central after two to three decades
of an ever intensely blazing conflict over the legacy of modernity
and modernism.
This book documents food-insecurity in urban communities across the
United States and asks the question whether emerging urban food and
agriculture initiatives can address the food security needs of
American city dwellers. While America has sufficient food to feed
its entire population, thirty eight million people are food
insecure, with urban communities and communities of color having
long borne the brunt of food inequalities. This book traces the
evolving story of food by describing the people behind food system
statistics, focusing on cities and suburban communities across
America. In doing so, it raises questions not only about food
security but about a food economy that can foster justice and
sustainability and combat hunger and waste. By linking human faces
to the data, the book reveals the many connections between food
insecurity and unsustainable practices. The book concludes by
discussing some of the pathways toward a more sustainable and just
food system by linking the food system to the larger economy and
the many sectors that are connected to food. Because of these
multifaceted connections, food can be a unique catalyst for
creating pathways toward a more just and sustainable economy that
is more aligned with nature. This book will be of great interest to
students and scholars of food justice, food security, urban food
and agriculture, urban sustainability and sustainable food systems
more broadly.

Every year, thousands of young people on the run from war and
persecution, or escaping poverty and chronic instability, make
their way to Europe without their parents. Embarking on long and
often dangerous journeys, they have either become separated from
their families on the way or set out on their own. In recent years,
the number of unaccompanied minors arriving in Europe has risen
drastically. It has led to a major shift in perception in European
countries, initiating a wealth of policies and infrastructures
targeted specifically at unaccompanied child refugees. This book
investigates the emergence of the unaccompanied child refugee as a
‘crisis figure’. It shows how the sense of exceptionality
attached to this figure translates into ambiguous and at times
extremely contradictory social practices that have far-reaching
effects on the lives of refugee youth. By bringing together
ethnographically driven research on unaccompanied minors in some of
the core arrival and transit countries in or into Europe, it shows
the divergent ways ideas on childhood, deservingness and
vulnerability are interpreted, lived, and grappled with on the
ground. By laying the focus on young people’s own experiences and
perspectives, it establishes a deeper understanding of the ways
unaccompanied asylum seekers live and make sense of shifting social
terrains. The chapters in this book were originally published as a
special issue of the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies.
Many clinicians struggle with how best to work with children who
have undergone trauma and violence. This book offers an innovative
and radical approach they can use to engage and treat not only
children, but also their families and networks, though play and
conversation.
Through the 1880s the very essence of representation, meaning and
process in Western art were profoundly interrogated. Plausible
representations of the external world were cast aside in favour of
non-naturalism expressed in varying degrees, from modest
distortions of reality to pure abstraction. The decades that
followed, up to the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, were a
complex, vibrant period of artistic questioning, searching,
risk-taking and innovation. Concentrating on this period of great
upheaval, this book will explore the constructive dialogue between
painting and sculpture, and the influential roles played by three
giants of the era, Paul Cézanne, Paul Gauguin and Vincent van
Gogh, across European art as a whole. While acknowledging the
centrality of Paris as a cultural capital, it will also uniquely
highlight other centres of artistic ferment in Europe, from
Brussels and Barcelona to Berlin and Vienna, and track the variety
of routes into modernism in the early twentieth century. This fully
illustrated catalogue will contain four essays, introductions to
each city of ferment and biographies of the artists. Published by

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.

During recent years, the topic of participation has increasingly
been gaining importance in Iran - in the scientific field, in
practice and rhetoric. However, in current scientific literature -
and especially in English literature - there is little knowledge on
the conditions, legal background, perceptions, experiences and
processes of citizens' participation in Iran. This book aims to
shed light on the paradoxical question of participation in Iran: it
is old and new, dysfunctioning and functioning, disappointing and
promising. This slippery status of participation convinces scholars
to suggest contradictory interpretations and understandings about
the existence, functionality, and potentiality of this concept. The
book therefore shows the different perspectives, interpretations,
historical developments and case studies of participation in Iran,
thus giving the reader a kaleidoscope view on the question of
participation in Iran.

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Do we have free will? Is the universe
compatible with God? Do we live in a computer simulation? Does the
universe think? Physicists are great at complicated research, but
they are less good at telling us why it matters. In this
entertaining and groundbreaking book, theoretical physicist Sabine
Hossenfelder breaks down why we should care. Drawing on the latest
research in quantum mechanics, black holes, string theory and
particle physics, Existential Physics explains what modern physics
can tell us about the big questions. Filled with counterintuitive
insights and including interviews with other leading scientists,
this clear and yet profound book will reshape your understanding of
science and the limits of what we can know.
