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.

In this unique book, Peter Alexander Meyers leads us through the social processes by which shock incites terror, terror invites war, war invokes emergency, and emergency supports unchecked power. He then reveals how the domestic political culture created by the Cold War has driven these developments forward since 9/11, contending that our failure to acknowledge that "this" Cold War continues today is precisely what makes it so dangerous. With eloquence and urgency Meyers argues that the mantra of our time--"everything changed on 9/11 "--is false and pernicious. By contrast, "Civic War and the Corruption of the Citizen" provides a novel account of long-term transformations in the citizen's experience of war, the constitution of political powers, and public uses of communication, and from that firm historical basis explains how a convergence of these social facts became the pretext for unprecedented opportunism and irresponsibility after 9/11. Where others have observed that our rights are under attack, Meyers digs deeper and finds that today "government by the people" itself is at risk. Sparkling with historical and philosophical insight, this is a dramatic diagnosis of the American political scene that at once makes clear the new position of the citizen and the necessity for active citizenship if democracy is to endure.
