This book covers documents and related information pertaining to civil liberties in America, including the debates over arbitrary state action, due process, equal protection, freedom of speech, and privacy issues. The USA PATRIOT Act, the actions and free speech of the Ku Klux Klan, and the use of privately owned devices with GPS by law enforcement are all highly controversial topics that fall under the blanket of civil liberties and federal or state authority—subjects that are important to most Americans. This book provides a comprehensive examination of arbitrary state action post-September 11, 2001, combining detailed examinations of specific legislation with watershed coverage of issues such as freedom of speech, press, and religion as well as various aspects of criminal law and procedure. This text presents documents from Britain, the American colonial period, the Founding period, and the modern era, including recent Supreme Court cases. The author provides an accompanying analysis of each document, providing insightful historical context and ramifications of the decisions and the laws passed.

R826 Discovery Miles 8 260 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This book explores how the socially disputed period of the Cold War is remembered in today's history classroom. Applying a diverse set of methodological strategies, the authors map the dividing lines in and between memory cultures across the globe, paying special attention to the impact the crisis-driven age of our present has on images of the past. Authors analysing educational media point to ambivalence, vagueness and contradictions in textbook narratives understood to be echoes of societal and academic controversies. Others focus on teachers and the history classroom, showing how unresolved political issues create tensions in history education. They render visible how teachers struggle to handle these challenges by pretending that what they do is 'just history'. The contributions to this book unveil how teachers, backgrounding the political inherent in all memory practices, often nourish the illusion that the history in which they are engaged is all about addressing the past with a reflexive and disciplined approach.

R2,718 Discovery Miles 27 180 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Die Grundungsvertrage Internationaler Organisationen unterliegen im Lauf der Zeit erheblichem Wandel, auch wenn ihr Wortlaut nicht geandert wird. Eine wesentliche Rolle kommt dabei der Praxis der Organisationen zu. Dieser Umstand lasst sich voelkerrechtlich auf die Auslegung durch die spatere UEbung der Vertragsparteien zuruckfuhren - es sei denn, die Grenzen der Interpretation werden uberschritten. Die Organe Internationaler Organisationen sind dabei mehr als blosse Versammlungen der Mitgliedstaaten: Die Voraussetzungen und Rechtsfolgen ihrer Praxis hangen von Zusammensetzung, Kompetenzen und Entscheidungsverfahren ab. Auf eine Analyse des einschlagigen Voelkerrechts folgen Fallstudien aus der Praxis der Vereinten Nationen, ihrer Sonderorganisationen und regionaler Organisationen. So wird der Ordnungsrahmen fur die Fortentwicklung Internationaler Organisationen durch Praxis systematisch dargestellt - ohne Gefahren fur Legitimation und rule of law auszublenden.

René Schoemakers - Weltgeist (Hardcover): Christian Walda René Schoemakers - Weltgeist (Hardcover)

With over 100 works from 20 years of interventions in urban space, the Museum für Kunst und Kulturgeschichte in Dortmund has dedicated a large overview exhibition to René Schoemakers (*1972). From the very beginning, he has rejected any appropriation of the individual. As a direct reflex, examining the extremisms of the present has become central to his work, whether Christian or Islamic, left-wing autonomist or right-wing radical: the latter, however, in particular, since one of the attempted murders by the Nationalist Socialist Underground (NSU) in Dortmund was committed with the backing of a very active right-wing scene. Text in English and German.

Die moderne Ingenieurbaukunst ist gegenwartig dabei, in Weiter- entwicklung der klassischen Konzeptionen die eindimensionalen Trag- elemente zu ersetzen und sich dafiir die durch die Formgebung erhaltene Tragfahigkeit von Tragwerken dienbar zu machen, die sich iiber eine Flache erstrecken und durch Starken charakterisiert sind, die gegeniiber den weiteren Abmessungen auBerordentlich reduziert sind. Dieser bautechnischen Entwicklung entspricht die Tendenz der zeit- genossischen Architektur, plastische, durch das Studium der Formen erhaltene Losungen zu verwenden. Obschon sich das Interesse fiir die Verwendung von Flachentrag- werken auch im Stahlbau zeigt, riickt die Anwendung von Tragelemen- ten, deren Tragfahigkeit hauptsachlich in der Form der Mittelflache begriindet ist, bei den Konstruktionen aus Stahlbeton in immer ent- scheidenderer Weise in den Vordergrund. Mannigfaltig sind die Griinde fUr die zunehmende Verbreitung der Flachentragwerke, indessen liegt zweifellos einer der wichtigsten in der besseren Kenntnis, die wir heute von den Moglichkeiten haben, die sich durch diese Tragwerke ergeben, wobei diese Kenntnis die Frucht reif- licher Erfahrung und ausgiebiger theoretischer und experimenteller Untersuchungen ist. Die ersten Untersuchungen wurden zu Beginn des vergangenen J ahrhunderts in Angriff genommen, nachdem die Grundlagen der Elastizitatstheorie bekannt geworden waren, worauf die Flachentrag- werke Gegenstand wichtiger Untersuchungen seitens bedeutender Mathematiker Wurden. Sie blieben indessen lange Zeit in der Sphare theoretischer Spekulationen, obschon groBartige, durch geniale" Archi- tekten in anderen Epochen verwirklichte Beispiele in kiihner Weise die durch sie erzielbaren V orteile infolge der Einsparung an Gewicht und der groBen Steifigkeit demonstriert hatten.

R1,258 Discovery Miles 12 580 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This work tracks an investigation in to the forces inherent in landscapes. An increased attentiveness to these can enhance design thinking and help design processes become more dynamic. Examples of landscape forces include dynamic systems such as ecosystems, and the mobile patterns that are deeply embedded in landscapes as a result of seasonality and diurnal change. These forces are patterns of organisation whose specific, locational qualities are investigated through my research by design. The purpose of this research, then, is to identify, unravel, and utilise the often overlooked and unseen forces operating in landscapes. My investigation is intended to allow for the elaboration of rich and intricate patterns of organisation in order to enable the deployment of these by landscape students and professionals. This involves thinking of landscape architecture as an operator and regulator of rhythmic moments occurring in the landscape, rather than as a tool with which to configure bounded terrains containing objects.

The Fabric of Night (Paperback): Christoph Peters The Fabric of Night (Paperback)
Christoph Peters
R493 Discovery Miles 4 930 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

By one of the most promising novelists in Germany today, "The Fabric of Night" is a frightening, profound reflection on the nature of illusion and reality.
Albin Kranz is a sculptor, haunted by hallucinations and by painful memories of his childhood. At her wit's end, Livia, a photographer with whom he has lived for five years, suggests that they go to Istanbul to give there love one last chance. There, he witnesses a murder. But like one of Hitchcock's desperately misunderstood characters, Albin can't persuade anyone of what he saw, nor find any proof. His quest for truth takes him into the slums of the city and deep into the mysterious, exotic Eastern culture few Western visitors ever penetrate. "The Fabric of Night" is a psychological drama, a nightmare, and a double tale of disintegrating love.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2012 im Fachbereich Medien / Kommunikation - Sonstiges, Note: 1, Universitat Wien, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Rundfunkfreiheit ist ein wichtiges Gut fur unsere Gesellschaft und essentiell fur eine gut funktionierende Demokratie. Die folgende Forschungsarbeit beschaftigt sich mit moglichen Einwirkungen auf Rundfunkfreiheit, im Speziellen durch die Finanzierungssituation des Medienunternehmens, als auch die Einflussnahme durch die Eigentumer. So ist es wichtig, auf welcher Rechtsform ein Medienunternehmen aufgebaut ist, da dies die Einflussnahme von bspw. der Politik betrachtlich steigern oder auch verringern kann. Ein Medienunternehmen, das finanziell von anderen Institutionen abhangig ist, kann oft nicht eigenstandig uber das eigene Programmangebot entscheiden. Ob das ein Nachteil oder Vorteil ist, soll in dieser Arbeit ebenfalls behandelt werden.
