'Rewriting' is one of the most crucial but at the same time one of
the most elusive concepts of literary scholarship. In order to
contribute to a further reassessment of such a notion, this volume
investigates a wide range of medieval and early modern literary
transformations, especially focusing on texts (and contexts) of
Italian and French Renaissance literature. The first section of the
book, "Rewriting", gathers essays which examine medieval and early
modern rewritings while also pointing out the theoretical
implications raised by such texts. The second part, "Rewritings in
Early Modern Literature", collects contributions which account for
different practices of rewriting in the Italian and French
Renaissance, for instance by analysing dynamics of repetition and
duplication, verbatim reproduction and free reworking, textual
production and authorial self-fashioning, alterity and identity,
replication and multiplication. The volume strives at shedding
light on the complexity of the relationship between early modern
and ancient literature, perfectly summed up in the motto written by
Pietro Aretino in a letter to his friend the painter Giulio Romano
in 1542: "Essere modernamente antichi e anticamente moderni".
Bayesian Data Analysis in Ecology Using Linear Models with R, BUGS,
and STAN examines the Bayesian and frequentist methods of
conducting data analyses. The book provides the theoretical
background in an easy-to-understand approach, encouraging readers
to examine the processes that generated their data. Including
discussions of model selection, model checking, and multi-model
inference, the book also uses effect plots that allow a natural
interpretation of data. Bayesian Data Analysis in Ecology Using
Linear Models with R, BUGS, and STAN introduces Bayesian software,
using R for the simple modes, and flexible Bayesian software (BUGS
and Stan) for the more complicated ones. Guiding the ready from
easy toward more complex (real) data analyses ina step-by-step
manner, the book presents problems and solutions-including all R
codes-that are most often applicable to other data and questions,
making it an invaluable resource for analyzing a variety of data
types.
Im Mai 2017 wurde die AEnderung der Aktionarsrechterichtlinie nach
einem langanhaltenden Gesetzgebungsprozess im Amtsblatt der
Europaischen Union veroeffentlicht. Eine zentrale Norm der
Richtlinie stellt Art. 9c dar, der die Geschafte mit nahestehenden
Personen und Unternehmen (sog. Related Party Transactions) einer
unionsweiten Harmonisierung unterwerfen moechte. Die Arbeit
untersucht, wie der Regelungsinhalt des Art. 9c moeglichst
harmonisch in nationales Recht umgesetzt werden kann. Vor diesem
Hintergrund erarbeitet der Autor ein konsistentes Schutzsystem,
dass zum einen dem Richtlinieninhalt vollkommen gerecht wird und
zum anderen derart restriktiv ist, dass nationales Recht,
insbesondere das bekannte und bewahrte deutsche Konzernrecht,
weitestgehend erhalten bleiben kann.
Birds of Central Asia is the first field guide to include the
former Soviet republics of Kazakhstan, Kirghizstan, Turkmenistan,
Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, along with neighbouring Afghanistan.
This vast area includes a diverse variety of habitats, and the
avifauna is similarly broad, from sandgrouse, ground jays and larks
on the vast steppe and semi-desert to a broad range of raptors, and
from woodland species such as warblers and nuthatches to a suite of
montane species, such as snowcocks, accentors and snowfinches. This
book includes 141 high-quality plates covering every species (and
all distinctive races) that occur in the region, along with concise
text focusing on identification and accurate colour maps. Important
introductory sections introduce the land and its birds. Birds of
Central Asia is a must-read for any birder or traveller visting
this remote region.
