The modernist aesthetic and, later, Nazi ideology split German Romantic painting into two opposed phases, an early progressive movement, represented by Caspar David Friedrich (1774-1840) and Philipp Otto Runge (1777-1810), and a later reactionary one - epitomized by Friedrich Overbeck (1789-1869) and Peter von Cornelius (1783-1867). In this rich and engaging book, Mitchell Frank explores the continuities between these two phases to reconstruct the historical position that existed in the nineteenth century and to look once again at the Nazarenes - and Overbeck in particular - as a fully integrated part of the Romantic movement. His innovative book is crucial to an understanding of German Romanticism and the legacy of this period in European art.

Environmental Ethics and Behavioural Change takes a practical approach to environmental ethics with a focus on its transformative potential for students, professionals, policy makers, activists, and concerned citizens. Proposed solutions to issues such as climate change, resource depletion and accelerating extinctions have included technological fixes, national and international regulation and social marketing. This volume examines the ethical features of a range of communication strategies and technological, political and economic methods for promoting ecologically responsible practice in the face of these crises. The central concern of the book is environmental behaviour change: inspiring, informing and catalysing reflective change in the reader, and in their ability to influence others. By making clear the forms of environmental ethics that exist, and what each implies in terms of individual and social change, the reader will be better able to formulate, commit to, articulate and promote a coherent position on how to understand and engage with environmental issues. This is an essential companion to environmental ethics and philosophy courses as well as a great resource for professionals interested in practical approaches to environmental ethics. It is also excellent supplementary reading for environmental studies, environmental politics and sustainable consumption courses.

Anarchism is by far the least broadly understood ideology and the least studied academically. Though highly influential, both historically and in terms of recent social movements, anarchism is regularly dismissed. Anarchism: A Conceptual Approach is a welcome addition to this growing field, which is widely debated but poorly understood. Occupying a distinctive position in the study of anarchist ideology, this volume - authored by a handpicked group of established and rising scholars - investigates how anarchists often seek to sharpen their message and struggle to determine what ideas and actions are central to their identity. Moving beyond defining anarchism as simply an ideology or political theory, this book examines the meanings of its key concepts, which have been divided into three categories: Core, Adjacent, and Peripheral concepts. Each chapter focuses on one important concept, shows how anarchists have understood the concept, and highlights its relationships to other concepts. Although anarchism is often thought of as a political topic, the interdisciplinary nature of Anarchism: A Conceptual Approach makes it of interest to students and scholars across the social sciences, liberal arts, and the humanities.

What are the core features of an anarchist ethics? Why do some anarchisms identify themselves as anti-moral or amoral? And what are the practical outcomes of ethical analysis for anarchist and post-anarchist practice? This book shows how we can identify and evaluate different forms of anarchism through their ethical principles, and we can identify these ethics in the evolving anarchist organizations, tactics and forms of critique. The book outlines the various key anarchist positions, explaining how the identification of their ethical positions provides a substantive basis to classify rival traditions of thought. It describes the different ideological structures of anarchism in terms of their conceptual organization integrated into their main material practices, highlighting that there is no singular anarchism. It goes on to assess distinctive approaches for identifying and categorizing anarchism, and argues that it is best viewed not as a movement that prioritizes rights and liberal accounts of autonomy, or that prescribes specific revolutionary goals, but as a way to challenge hierarchies of power in the generation of social goods. Finally, the book uses case studies from contemporary issues in educational practice and pertinent political conflicts to demonstrate the practical applicability of a virtue approaches to anarchism.

This book assembles new methods showing the automotive engineer for the first time how hybrid vehicle configurations can be modeled as systems with discrete and continuous controls. These hybrid systems describe naturally and compactly the networks of embedded systems which use elements such as integrators, hysteresis, state-machines and logical rules to describe the evolution of continuous and discrete dynamics and arise inevitably when modeling hybrid electric vehicles. They can throw light on systems which may otherwise be too complex or recondite. Hybrid Systems, Optimal Control and Hybrid Vehicles shows the reader how to formulate and solve control problems which satisfy multiple objectives which may be arbitrary and complex with contradictory influences on fuel consumption, emissions and drivability. The text introduces industrial engineers, postgraduates and researchers to the theory of hybrid optimal control problems. A series of novel algorithmic developments provides tools for solving engineering problems of growing complexity in the field of hybrid vehicles. Important topics of real relevance rarely found in text books and research publications-switching costs, sensitivity of discrete decisions and there impact on fuel savings, etc.-are discussed and supported with practical applications. These demonstrate the contribution of optimal hybrid control in predictive energy management, advanced powertrain calibration, and the optimization of vehicle configuration with respect to fuel economy, lowest emissions and smoothest drivability. Numerical issues such as computing resources, simplifications and stability are treated to enable readers to assess such complex systems. To help industrial engineers and managers with project decision-making, solutions for many important problems in hybrid vehicle control are provided in terms of requirements, benefits and risks.

In den letzten Jahren hat der Sport einen grossen Wandel durchgemacht, - und demzufolge auch der Fussball - hinsichtlich des Unterhaltungswertes und des Unterhaltungsmarktes. Das Umfeld des Sports wurde sehr viel komplexer und kommerzieller auf allen Ebenen. Dies zeigt unter anderem der zunehmende Konkurrenzdruck unter den Fussballclubs (FC) um die finanziellen und zeitlichen Ressourcen, aber auch der zunehmende Konkurrenzkampf mit anderen Beteiligten des Unterhaltungsmarktes (z.B. andere Sportarten, Musik, Kino, Kultur). Allerdings machen Zahlen deutlich, dass fur Bundesligaclubs die Erschliessung neuer Einnahmequellen unerlasslich ist, um in Zukunft auf dem nationalen, wie auch internationalen Fussballmarkt, mit unterschiedlichen Vorzeichen (u.a. Fernsehgelder, Auslandsvermarktung), bestehen zu konnen. Dies sind u.a. Grunde fur die Veranderung der Bundesligaclubs von FC hin zu Wirtschaftsunternehmen und Marketingorganisationen, mit der damit verbundenen Professionalisierung. Bis dato gibt es in Deutschland nur wenige FC, die als Marke in der Offentlichkeit wahrgenommen werden. Der Autor fasst die wichtigsten Erkenntnisse im Hinblick auf die Bedurfnisse von FC hinsichtlich der Markenbildung- und -fuhrung zusammen und zeigt daruber hinaus Moglichkeiten der Umsetzung

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2003 im Fachbereich BWL - Investition und Finanzierung, Note: 1,0, Technische Universitat Dortmund (Raumplanung), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Inhaltsangabe: Einleitung: Im Feld der Projektentwicklung von Gewerbeimmobilien ist seit einigen Jahren eine neue Akzentuierung im Engagement der beteiligten Akteure wahrzunehmen. Bei Stagnation der klassischen Teilmarkte galt es Mitte der 90er Jahre nach erfolgversprechenden Investitionsalternativen zu suchen. Viele Projektentwickler griffen dieses Bemuhen auf und verbreiterten ihren Aktionsradius entsprechend. Im Zuge dieses Trends wuchs auch das Volumen der initiierten Hotelprojekte rasant an: Nach Massstaben des Gastgewerbes befindet sich das Bettenangebot anhaltend in einer beispiellosen Expansionsphase. Das Risiko einer Fehlinvestition in der Hotellerie, der keine ausreichende Nachfrage gegenubersteht, ist inzwischen als deutlich erhoht einzuschatzen. Die Wettbewerbsintensitat am deutschen Markt hat im zuruckliegenden Jahrzehnt stetig zugenommen. Fur die nachsten Monate und Jahre ist von verscharften Verdrangungsprozessen auszugehen. Zur Erzielung akzeptabler Sicherheiten bei der Kapitalanlage wird es unter diesen Bedingungen von zentraler Bedeutung sein zu prufen, inwieweit ein initiiertes Produkt kraft seiner Grundkomponenten (Grundstuck, Lage, Konzept) wettbewerbsfahig und marktvertraglich sein wird. Dies ist die wesentliche Funktion einer Standort- und Marktanalyse als Kernbestandteil einer investitionsvorbereitenden Machbarkeitstudie. Nicht selten wurde sie jedoch von den Akteuren der Hotel-Projektentwicklung vernachlassigt; an die Stelle fundierter Recherchen traten intuitive Entscheidungen. Neben dem gewachsenen Investitionsrisiko spricht auch die zunehmend restriktive Kreditvergabepolitik der Banken dafur, dass an dieser Stelle ein Umdenken erforderlich sein wird. Vermutlich wird es kunftig nur uber besonders professionelle Analysen gelingen initiierte Projekte erfolgreich umsetzen zu ko
