<div> <p>This book explores the relationship between the distinctive Islamic beliefs (Ibadism) of Oman and how they define the experience of the church with regards to religious freedom.  Oman is a nation with a long and glorious history of maritime trade, stretching from China and India to the East coast of Africa. From sultan to shopkeeper, farmer to craftsman, the citizens of Oman embrace a surprising diversity of cultural heritage ranging from Baluchi, Persian, Yemeni, and East African. Yet, there has hitherto been very little research about Christianity in this part of the world. Through the use of historical research, interviews and theological discourse, Andrew David Thompson analyzes and reveals the distinctive experience of the Church in Oman.</p> <br> </div>

This book discusses migration and space-spanning social network relationships as normal realities of life in African societies. It offers an overview of the research landscape and introduces an agency-centered theoretical model that provides a conceptual framework for translocality. The authors Malte Steinbrink and Hannah Niedenführ plead for a translocal approach to social transformation, showing how the translocality of livelihoods is shaping the lives of half a billion people on the continent and impacting local conditions. Using an action-oriented approach, the book analyzes the effects of translocal livelihoods on diverse aspects of economic, environmental and social change in rural Sub-Saharan Africa. The study thus makes an innovative contribution not only to migration research and development studies but also to the discussion around the policy and practice of development cooperation and planning. It is time to rethink development in light of translocal realities. <p></p> <p>The book appeals to scholars and researchers in geography, sociology, policy-making and planning, development studies, migration research and rural development.</p> <p></p>

<p>This book collects and coherently presents the research that has been undertaken since the author’s previous book <i>Module Theory</i> (1998). In addition to some of the key results since 1995, it also discusses the development of much of the supporting material.</p> <p>In the twenty years following the publication of the Camps-Dicks theorem, the work of Facchini, Herbera, Shamsuddin, Puninski, Prihoda and others has established the study of serial modules and modules with semilocal endomorphism rings as one of the promising directions for module-theoretic research.</p> <p>Providing readers with insights into the directions in which the research in this field is moving, as well as a better understanding of how it interacts with other research areas, the book appeals to undergraduates and graduate students as well as researchers interested in algebra.<br></p> <p></p>

<p>This book addresses topics and issues of high relevance to the widely shared desire to promote inclusive growth, sustainability, and innovation within a context of global governance. It is based on the XXXth Villa Mondragone International Economic Seminar, where leading experts met to discuss the latest research and thinking on different aspects of globalization, trade, inequalities, growth imbalances, green technologies, the labor market, and financial systems. The aim is to stimulate new responses and possible solutions to a variety of well-recognized problems, including low growth in real wages, stagnating productivity, and growing disparities in income. Some of these problems are especially evident in Europe, where austerity policies have failed to deliver adequate growth and investment. However, while a number of the contributions focus on aspects of particular importance to Europe, others look further afield, for example to the scope for innovation in Africa and to experiences with quantitative easing in Japan. The book will be of wide interest to academics, researchers, policy makers, and practitioners.</p> <br>

<p>This book critically examines four areas common to visual arts curricula: the elements of art and principles of design, the canons of human proportions, linear perspective, and RYB color theory. For each, the author presents a compelling case detailing how current art teaching fails students, explores the history of how it came to be part of the discourse, and then proffers cognitivist and holistic alternatives. This book provides a framework for teachers and teacher-candidates to shape how they advocate for intellectual rigor and embodied learning and, importantly, how they can subvert an existing curriculum to better meet the educational needs of their students.</p>

<p>Evolutionary developmental biology or evo-devo is a field of biological research that compares the underlying mechanisms of developmental processes in different organisms to infer the ancestral condition of these processes and elucidate how they have evolved. It addresses questions about the developmental bases of evolutionary changes and evolution of developmental processes. </p>The book’s content is divided into three parts, the first of which discusses the theoretical background of evo-devo. The second part highlights new and emerging model organisms in the evo-devo field, while the third and last part explores the evo-devo approach in a broad comparative context. To the best of our knowledge, no other book combines these three evo-devo aspects: theoretical considerations, a comprehensive list of emerging model species, and comparative analyses of developmental processes.  <p></p> Given its scope, the book will offer readers a new perspective on the natural diversity of processes at work in cells and during the development of various animal groups, and expand the horizons of seasoned and young researchers alike. <p></p> <br>

<p>This edited book includes chapters that explore the impact of war and its aftermath in language and official discourse. It covers a broad chronological range from the First World War to very recent experiences of war, with a focus on Australia and the Pacific region. It examines three main themes in relation to language: the impact of war and trauma on language, the language of war remembrance, and the language of official communications of war and the military. An innovative work that takes an interdisciplinary approach to the themes of war and language, the collection will be of interest to students and scholars across linguistics, literary studies, history and conflict studies. </p> <br>

<p>Die anspruchsvollen CO<sub>2</sub>-Ziele  bis 2030/2050 werden unser Mobilitätsverhalten massiv verändern. Ein wichtiger Beitrag wird von elektrifizierten Fahrzeugantrieben erwartet. Das Buch gibt einen Überblick über alle heute diskutierten elektrifizierten Antriebskonzepte für Pkw vom Mikro-Hybrid bis zum Brennstoffzellen-Auto. Neben den Definitionen werden die einzelnen Komponenten für den elektrifizierten Antrieb, wie z.B. E-Motoren, Batterien, Supercaps, Leistungselektronik, Brennstoffzellen Getriebe und Aktoren auf der Ebene eines Basiswisssens beschrieben. Die einzelnen Architekturen und Topologien der Hybride werden ebenso wie die reinen Elektroantriebe vorgestellt. Zum Gesamtsystem gehören das Thermomanagement, die Typgenehmigung, die besonderen Herausforderungen an die Akustik sowie elektromagnetische Verträglichkeit (EMV). Der Umgang mit den Hochvolt-Systemen erfordert neue Sicherheitsstandards und die Ladetechnik gehört zu den Schlüsseltechnologien für die Akzeptanz der Batterie-Elektrofahrzeuge. Der Brennstoffzellen basierte Elektroantrieb zeigt weitere Möglichkeiten für die Zukunft auf. Die Auswirkungen der Teilelektrifizierung des Antriebs auf den Verbrennungsmotor im hybriden Antriebskonzept runden die Betrachtungen ab.</p>
