Dis 'n roman oor die aftakeling wat vrou- en ma-wees op gees en lyf kerf.

Daar is 'n ongewone, ontgogelde blik op swangerskap, ontdaan van blosende skoonheid, vreedsame afwagting en innige vervulling; eerder gekenmerk deur vrees, angstigheid en ongemak. Die bloedige slagveld van geboorte word ontstellend verwoord en daarna die allesoorheersende liefde vir die babas. Maar ook die onmoontlike gyselaarsituasie van 'n ongelukkige huwelik: “Om 'n ma te wees is onmenslik moeilik as jou gees gevlug het uit jou lyf.”

Dis ook die verhaal van die mooi vriendskap tussen 'n ma en stiefma. Kylie en Katrin word mekaar se weemoed.

This multi-perspective Research Handbook provides a clear pathway through the nonprofit governance research field, pushing beyond the borders of current theory to expand and deepen the analytical framework for nonprofit governance. It offers an analysis of the basics including definitions, organizational forms and levels of governance, and takes a critical approach towards the normative and prescriptive tendencies in much of contemporary governance scholarship.   Divided into four distinctly thematic parts, contributors provide an in-depth review of the last 20 years, building on the foundations of classical contributions and further exploring new theoretical approaches, while examining the governance challenges of diverse types of organizations, including those from both developed and developing countries. Future challenges including multilevel governance are expertly addressed, and insights leading towards a unified theory are proposed.   This thoroughly engaging Research Handbook will be an excellent resource for scholars in business and strategic management, nonprofit management and civil society, interested in topics such as nonprofit governance practice and boards of directors, governance theory, stakeholder management, membership organizations, foundations and hybrid organizations. Teachers of nonprofit management will also find this invaluable as it addresses both the core concepts and the most recent developments.

This book focuses on a selection of analytical methods enabling the investigation of solution complexation equilibria, providing information on the speciation (stoichiometry and in some instances structure of the formed species) but also allowing the measurement of thermodynamic parameters (equilibrium constants, reaction enthalpy and entropy). The seven chapters, authored by eminent practitioners in their field, cover both the theoretical and the practical aspects with helpful experimental guidelines. The latest technical and computational advances are described in a way that unambiguously show the major contributions of the authors at the top of their field. Hence, this book is intended to be a valuable introduction to newcomers, while being at the same time a helpful companion to more experienced users of each instrumental techniques. It provides an up-to-date overview with useful tips and hints on the application of selected cutting-edge analytical methods that allow unravelling and modelling intricate complex formation equilibria. So far there has been no such book focussing specifically on the measurement of thermodynamic parameters, while covering such a wide panel of techniques. This book will be of interest to a broad readership, including analytical, coordination, supramolecular, environmental, instrumental, and physical chemists, radiochemists, electrochemists, and biochemists among others.

From the introduction by Waid Water When they asked me to write the intro to this book, it didn't seem too dangerous, so I considered it. We're stuck out here orbiting Zebulon. I don't know if we'll ever get home. My friend Owen Crunch is the hero. They probably want me to put in some of the exciting stuff we run into. There are the flying lizards that almost bite my head off, and caustic blobs. They almost dissolve my face. They get Owen in the other end. The blue moose is huge. The stinging frogs are small, but they do quite a number on me. Worst of all is the flower. Don't go near any uncooked vegetables. This book is educational. Kids who read it will undoubtedly pick up important tips for living in zero G and using the space toilet. I think a lot of astronauts are going to get their start right here. Remember, the best way to survive space is to stay home. Read this book instead. Waid Water Still here. Recommended for readers 10 and up.

by the question in its being an answer, if only in a circumstantial (i. e. inessential) manner. One indeed must question oneself in order to remember, says Plato, but the dialectic, which would be scientific, must be something else even if it remains a play of question and answer. This contradiction did not escape Aristotle: he split the scientific from the dialectic and logic from argumentation whose respective theories he was led to conceive in order to clearly define their boundaries and specificities. As for Plato, he found in the famous theory of Ideas what he sought in order to justify knowledge as that which is supposed to hold its truth only from itself. What do Ideas mean within the framework of our approach? In what consists the passage from rhetoric to ontology which leads to the denaturation of argumentation? When Socrates asked, for example, "What is virtue?," he thought one could not answer such a question because the answer refers to a single proposition, a single truth, whereas the formulation of the question itself does not indicate this unicity. For any answer, another can be given and thus continuously, if necessary, until eventually one will come across an incompatibility. Now, to a question as to what X, Y, or Z is, one can answer in many ways and nothing in the question itself prohibits multiplicity. Virtue is courage, is justice, and so on.

The prolonged boom in the US and European stock markets has led to increased interest in the mathematics of security markets, most notably in the theory of stochastic integration. This text gives a rigorous development of the theory of stochastic integration as it applies to the valuation of derivative securities. It includes all the tools necessary for readers to understand how the stochastic integral is constructed with respect to a general continuous martingale. The author develops the stochastic calculus from first principles, but at a relaxed pace that includes proofs that are detailed, but streamlined to applications to finance. The treatment requires minimal prerequisites-a basic knowledge of measure theoretic probability and Hilbert space theory-and devotes an entire chapter to application in finances, including the Black Scholes market, pricing contingent claims, the general market model, pricing of random payoffs, and interest rate derivatives. Continuous Stochastic Calculus with Application to Finance is your first opportunity to explore stochastic integration at a reasonable and practical mathematical level. It offers a treatment well balanced between aesthetic appeal, degree of generality, depth, and ease of reading.

Die Grundlage dieses Buches bildet ein Interview mit einer Erstklässlerin zur Zahl Null. Dieses wurde mit verschiedenen theoretischen Perspektiven unter Nutzung einer interpretativen Methode analysiert. Die Perspektiven entstammen der Mathematik, ihrer Didaktik sowie diverser Bezugsdisziplinen (u. a. Germanistik, Naturwissenschaftsdidaktik, Philosophie und Soziologie). Ziel der Analysen (der Geschichten) ist die interaktionistische Rekonstruktion des Gespräches: Was erlaubt die jeweilige Theorie zu erfassen? Anschließend werden die Analysen verglichen, um Spezifika und den Mehrwert herauszustellen.

Häufig ist zu hören, dass Mathematik schwierig, nicht anwendbar und formal sei, die Schulmathematik der Grund- und unteren Sekundarstufe jedoch einfach, anwendbar und verständlich. In beiden Ansichten verbirgt sich jedoch nur die halbe Wahrheit.  Fangen wir doch einfach einmal bei der Arithmetik in der Grundschule an: Warum hat eine Rechenoperation wie die Division eigentlich nur ein einziges Ergebnis? Woher kommen die natürlichen Zahlen? Die elementare Mathematik beruht bei Weitem nicht nur auf der Nutzung der vier verschiedenen Grundrechenarten. Insbesondere das Unterrichten von Mathematik beinhaltet nicht nur das Wissen um mathematische Objekte, sondern auch um deren Ursprünge und Beziehungen untereinander. Anders formuliert: Die elementare Schulmathematik muss von einem höheren Standpunkt aus betrachtet werden. Die Idee des Buches ist einfach erklärt: Es geht in erster Linie um die Einführung in mathematische Denk- und Schreibweisen und erst danach um das Erlernen bestimmter mathematischer Inhalte. Vorbereitende Aufgaben, die an der Mathematik der Grund- und unteren Sekundarstufe ansetzen, sollen Einblick in die Inhalte des jeweiligen Kapitels vermitteln, sodass die Inhalte selbst weniger Probleme bereiten sollten. Ausgehend hiervon wird der Fokus auf die Darstellung der Inhalte und den Umgang mit ihnen gelegt. Die Präsentation der Inhalte in Form von Definitionen, Sätzen und Beweisen bildet den Kern der Inhaltsbetrachtungen. Hierbei wird häufig zwischen einer formalen Darstellung und einer Prosaform gewechselt, teilweise (insbesondere zu Beginn des Buches) wird beides angeführt. Die Wahl der jeweiligen Darstellung dient dem Aufbau von Verständnis bei der Leserschaft (das Buch richtet sich an Lehramtsstudierende für Primarstufe, Sonderpädagogik und Sekundarstufe I). Durch die Wahl einer Prosaform werden an einigen Stellen mathematische Details wegfallen. Die Mathematikexpert*innen mögen dies verzeihen.

"It Can't Happen Here" is the only one of Sinclair Lewis's later novels to match the power of "Main Street, ""Babbitt," and "Arrowsmith." A cautionary tale about the fragility of democracy, it is an alarming, eerily timeless look at how fascism could take hold in America. Written during the Great Depression, when the country was largely oblivious to Hitler's aggression, it juxtaposes sharp political satire with the chillingly realistic rise of a president who becomes a dictator to save the nation from welfare cheats, sex, crime, and a liberal press. Called "a message to thinking Americans" by the" Springfield Republican" when it was published in 1935, "It Can't Happen Here "is a shockingly prescient novel that remains as fresh and contemporary as today's news.
With an Introduction by Michael Meyer
and a New Afterword

Rhetoric was fundamental to education and to cultural aspiration in the Greek and Roman worlds. It was one of the key aspects of antiquity that slipped under the line between the ancient world and Christianity erected by the early Church in late antiquity. Ancient rhetorical theory is obsessed with examples and discussions drawn from visual material. This book mines this rich seam of theoretical analysis from within Roman culture to present an internalist model for some aspects of how the Romans understood, made and appreciated their art. The understanding of public monuments like the Arch of Titus or Trajan's Column or of imperial statuary, domestic wall painting, funerary altars and sarcophagi, as well as of intimate items like children's dolls, is greatly enriched by being placed in relevant rhetorical contexts created by the Roman world.
