In this extraordinary work, Peter Alexander Meyers shows how the centerpiece of the Enlightenment--"society "as the symbol of collective human life and as the fundamental domain of human practice--was primarily composed and animated by its most ambivalent figure: Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Displaying this new "society" as an evolving field of interdependence, "Abandoned to Ourselves" traces the emergence and moral significance of dependence itself within Rousseau's encounters with a variety of discourses of order, including theology, natural philosophy, and music. Underpinning this whole scene we discover a modernizing conception of the human Will, one that runs far deeper than Rousseau's most famous trope, the "general Will." As "Abandoned to Ourselves" weaves together historical acuity with theoretical insight, readers will find here elements for a reconstructed sociology inclusive of things and persons and, as a consequence, a new foundation for contemporary political theory.

Alexander Meyer konzipiert eine aufgabenbasierte Foerderdiagnose in Algebra, mit dem Ziel, eine Foerderung zu entwerfen, in der die Diagnoseaufgabe in eine Lernaufgabe uberfuhrt wird. Die Lernaufgabe setzt dann basierend auf der Diagnose dort an, wo Schulerinnen und Schuler Ressourcen haben, und bietet gleichzeitig an jenen Stellen Hilfen an, an denen Schulerinnen und Schuler Lernbedarfe haben. Der Autor rekonstruiert auf Grundlage empirischer Daten Denkmuster, in denen typische Ressourcen und Defizite von Schulerinnen und Schulern zur Algebra zum Ausdruck kommen koennen. Diese Denkmuster koennen fur die Gestaltung von diagnosebasierten Lernaufgaben als Leitlinie dienen und so einen Beitrag zur Standardisierung der Foerderdiagnose in Algebra leisten.

It's the first day of summer before Charley Anderson's senior year of high school, and like many awkward adolescent boys, he spends it lurking in the comic store. This comforting routine is disrupted when Malcolm, a drifter with a curious past, comes into his life. Peculiar events begin to unfold. Strange objects appear and Charley finds he suddenly has supernatural powers. When Malcolm reveals Charley's secret family lineage, which traces back to a race of mystical beings known as Jinns, this insecure teen is thrust into a world of magic, fearsome battles, and enemies who will stop at nothing to overtake his hometown. As he fights to protect the ones he loves, he faces not only a ruthless family, but also the terrifying fact that he is losing his humanity.

This monograph is an epigraphic study of the Roman auxiliary units raised on the Iberian Peninsula based on a corpus of over 750 inscriptions. It presents the literary and epigraphic evidence for late Republican allied and auxiliary forces and for the structure of imperial auxiliary units. It then examines the recruiting practices of the auxilia, the settlement of veterans, and the evidence for the personal relationships of the soldiers enlisted in these units as they are recorded in the epigraphic record, including inscriptions on stone and military diplomas.
