Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
The Politics of Spanish American "Modernismo" elucidates the professional and literary means through which Spanish American modernistas negotiated a cultural politics of rapprochement with Spain and Europe in order to differentiate their Americanness from that of the United States. Gerard Aching argues that these turn-of-the-century men of letters were in fact responsible for the burgeoning role that intellectuals and writers had (and continue to have) in defining pan-Hispanicism. Aching's arguments contribute to current debates about modernity and the colonial/postcolonial condition in nineteenth-century Hispanic literatures.
Seit 2006 ist die neue Bauordnung von Berlin in Kraft, die
weitgehend die Regelungen der Musterbauordnung 2002 aufgreift. Die
aktuelle Berliner Bauordnung beruht auf den grundsätzlichen
Erwägungen, sich im Verfahrens- wie im materiellen Recht auf die
aus heutiger Sicht notwendigen Regelungen zu beschränken.
Teilziele sind - Stärkung der Eigenverantwortung der am Bau
Beteiligten, - Reduzierung der Prüfprogramme der
Baugenehmigungsverfahren, - Deregulierung und Vereinfachung des
materiellen Bauordnungsrechts. Die 6. Auflage des bewährten
Kommentars liefert aktuelle Erläuterungen, in die
Praxiserfahrungen der letzten zwei Jahre Eingang fanden.
Ausführlich behandelt werden unter anderem das
Abstandsflächenrecht, der Brandschutz, die am Bau Beteiligten, die
bauaufsichtlichen Verfahren, die Behandlung des Bauantrages, die
Prüfung bautechnischer Nachweise und die Regelungen über
Bauprodukte und Bauarten.

Deserts are highly emblematic spaces: dry, barren, isolated. In
literary and cinematic representations, they often betoken collapse
and dystopia. Reading Aridity in Western American Literature offer
readings of literature set in the US Southwest from ecocritical and
new materialist perspectives. The volume explores the diverse
epistemologies, histories, relationships, futures, and
possibilities that emerge from the representation of American
deserts in fiction, film, and literary art. The authors, as well,
trace the social, cultural, economic, and biotic narratives that
foreground deserts, and how these underscore the challenges of
climate change, ecojustice, and human and non-human flourishing. As
such, the volume rethinks what deserts are and provides a
constructive lens for seeing deserts as more than blank spaces,
rather as ecogeographies that challenge, critique, and urge
collective ecojustice action.
