Book Synopsis Shaping the Status of Heirs by Contractual Components under the Polish and German Inheritance Law by : Bartosz Kucia
Download or read book Shaping the Status of Heirs by Contractual Components under the Polish and German Inheritance Law written by Bartosz Kucia and published by V&R unipress. This book was released on 2023-09-04 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributions focus on succession and obligation law norms shaping the legal status of an heir and their comparison within Polish and German law systems. They analyse the impact of the instruments of contract law on the status of an heir. The adopted methodology combining the internal-national and external-comparative perspective allows the authors to present “similarities in dissimilarities” within institutions of the German and Polish succession law. The broad analyses of legal doctrine and jurisprudence can serve as a source of knowledge and points of reference for legal practitioners, courts and legislators.
Download or read book Survival written by Adam Y. Stern and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2021-03-26 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a world mired in catastrophe, nothing could be more urgent than the question of survival. In this theoretically and methodologically groundbreaking book, Adam Y. Stern calls for a critical reevaluation of survival as a contemporary regime of representation. In Survival, Stern asks what texts, what institutions, and what traditions have made survival a recognizable element of our current political vocabulary. The book begins by suggesting that the interpretive key lies in the discursive prominence of "Jewish survival." Yet the Jewish example, he argues, is less a marker of Jewish history than an index of Christianity's impact on the modern, secular, political imagination. With this inversion, the book repositions Jewish survival as the supplemental effect and mask of a more capacious political theology of Christian survival. The argument proceeds by taking major moments in twentieth-century philosophy, theology, and political theory as occasions for collecting the scattered elements of survival's theological-political archive. Through readings of canonical texts by secular and Jewish thinkers—Hannah Arendt, Walter Benjamin, Franz Rosenzweig, and Sigmund Freud—Stern shows that survival belongs to a history of debates about the sovereignty and subjection of Christ's body. Interrogating survival as a rhetorical formation, the book intervenes in discussions about biopolitics, secularism, political theology, and the philosophy of religion.

Book excerpt: In the tradition of Octavia Butler, here is radical self-help, society-help, and planet-help to shape the futures we want. Change is constant. The world, our bodies, and our minds are in a constant state of flux. They are a stream of ever-mutating, emergent patterns. Rather than steel ourselves against such change, Emergent Strategy teaches us to map and assess the swirling structures and to read them as they happen, all the better to shape that which ultimately shapes us, personally and politically. A resolutely materialist spirituality based equally on science and science fiction: a wild feminist and afro-futurist ride! adrienne maree brown, co-editor of Octavia’s Brood: Science Fiction from Social Justice Movements, is a social justice facilitator, healer, and doula living in Detroit.

Book Synopsis Visio 2002 Developer's Survival Pack by : Graham Wideman
Download or read book Visio 2002 Developer's Survival Pack written by Graham Wideman and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2001 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Overview Developers seeing opportunities to leverage Microsoft Visio's programmable diagramming environment need to be able to design and build their applications quickly and sure-footedly -- achieving business-serving results in a business-compatible timeframe. To that end, this book and set of tools is organized around the premise that developers will have the following interests and needs: Visio Structure: An organized and comprehensive presentation of Visio's document and user-interface object models including the all-important ShapeSheet. Browsable Reference Material: There's lots of info in Visio's Developer Help, but it will take you forever to digest enough of it to get the big picture. To greatly accelerate the process, this book includes a "browsable" reference section -- objects, properties, methods and shapesheet cells and functions tabulated in an order which brings related items together. You'll still use Help, but with this book you can rapidly skim over and locate features of interest to your task at hand. Visio Behavior: The power beneath the surface. Work with it, not against it! Investigation of numerous key areas of Visio behavior, at a level which uncovers many subtleties not evident from simply using the product. Solution Architectures for adding functionality to Visio. Several alternative forms are possible. Read why "VSL Addons" are still the preferred form for many kinds of application. VSLs have traditionally required C/C++, Delphi, or some other language capable of working with Automation and producing arbitrary DLLs. Now, using the "VBVSL_Adapter" component available with this book, VSLs can be built easily with Visual Basic. The VBVSL foundation allows the book to use Visual Basic samples to illuminate many more topics of interest to Visio-based application-builders. Several sample applications are supplied which you can copy and modify to get your own addons up and running quickly. Browsing Tools: The book gives you access to download a suite of browsing tools which you can use to instantly clarify exactly what's going with several of Visio's more elaborate or arcane features, such as EventLists, UIObjects, CommandBars, browse Visio 2002's new XML-format files and so on. This will vastly accelerate your learning process, and goes a long way to keep your development efforts on track.
Book Synopsis Beyond the Marketplace by : Roger Owen Friedland
Download or read book Beyond the Marketplace written by Roger Owen Friedland and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond the Marketplace is an interdisciplinary view of the relationship between markets and society. Do individuals behave in markets as neoclassical theory assumes they do? Can other social institutions and processes--e.g., family formation and voting behavior--be analyzed with the same analytic tools we use to study markets? How is economic behavior shaped by institutions beyond the marketplace? Do markets themselves have a social and cultural structure which is not adequately explained by the formal tools of neoclassical analysis? In Beyond the Marketplace, economists, sociologists, political scientists, historians, and anthropologists respond to these, and related, questions.

Book Synopsis The EU and China in African Authoritarian Regimes by : Christine Hackenesch
Download or read book The EU and China in African Authoritarian Regimes written by Christine Hackenesch and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-30 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book analyses the domestic politics of African dominant party regimes, most notably African governments’ survival strategies, to explain their variance of opinions and responses towards the reforming policies of the EU. The author discredits the widespread assumption that the growing presence of China in Africa has made the EU’s task of supporting governance reforms difficult, positing that the EU’s good governance strategies resonate better with the survival strategies of governments in some dominant party regimes more so than others, regardless of Chinese involvement. Hackenesch studies three African nations – Angola, Ethiopia and Rwanda – which all began engaging with the EU on governance reforms in the early 2000s. She argues that other factors generally identified in the literature, such as the EU good governance strategies or economic dependence of the target country on the EU, have set additional incentives for African governments to not engage on governance reforms.
Book Synopsis Applied Survival Analysis Using R by : Dirk F. Moore
Download or read book Applied Survival Analysis Using R written by Dirk F. Moore and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-05-11 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Applied Survival Analysis Using R covers the main principles of survival analysis, gives examples of how it is applied, and teaches how to put those principles to use to analyze data using R as a vehicle. Survival data, where the primary outcome is time to a specific event, arise in many areas of biomedical research, including clinical trials, epidemiological studies, and studies of animals. Many survival methods are extensions of techniques used in linear regression and categorical data, while other aspects of this field are unique to survival data. This text employs numerous actual examples to illustrate survival curve estimation, comparison of survivals of different groups, proper accounting for censoring and truncation, model variable selection, and residual analysis. Because explaining survival analysis requires more advanced mathematics than many other statistical topics, this book is organized with basic concepts and most frequently used procedures covered in earlier chapters, with more advanced topics near the end and in the appendices. A background in basic linear regression and categorical data analysis, as well as a basic knowledge of calculus and the R system, will help the reader to fully appreciate the information presented. Examples are simple and straightforward while still illustrating key points, shedding light on the application of survival analysis in a way that is useful for graduate students, researchers, and practitioners in biostatistics.
Book Synopsis Shaping Femininity by : Sarah Bendall
Download or read book Shaping Femininity written by Sarah Bendall and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-10-07 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Highly Commended, Society for Renaissance Studies Biennial Book Prize 2022 In sixteenth and seventeenth-century England, the female silhouette underwent a dramatic change. This very structured form, created using garments called bodies and farthingales, existed in various extremes in Western Europe and beyond, in the form of stays, corsets, hoop petticoats and crinolines, right up until the twentieth century. With a nuanced approach that incorporates a stunning array of visual and written sources and drawing on transdisciplinary methodologies, Shaping Femininity explores the relationship between material culture and femininity by examining the lives of a wide range of women, from queens to courtiers, farmer's wives and servants, uncovering their lost voices and experiences. It reorients discussions about female foundation garments in English and wider European history, arguing that these objects of material culture began to shape and define changing notions of the feminine bodily ideal, social status, sexuality and modesty in the early modern period, influencing enduring Western notions of femininity. Beautifully illustrated in full colour throughout, Shaping Femininity is the first large-scale exploration of the materiality, production, consumption and meanings of women's foundation garments in sixteenth and seventeenth-century England. It offers a fascinating insight into dress and fashion in the early modern period, and offers much of value to all those interested in the history of early modern women and gender, material culture and consumption, and the history of the body, as well as curators and reconstructors.
Book Synopsis The Shape of the New by : Scott L. Montgomery
Download or read book The Shape of the New written by Scott L. Montgomery and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How four revolutionary ideas from the Enlightenment shaped today's world This panoramic book tells the story of how revolutionary ideas from the Enlightenment about freedom, equality, evolution, and democracy have reverberated through modern history and shaped the world as we know it today. A testament to the enduring power of ideas, The Shape of the New offers unforgettable portraits of Adam Smith, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, Charles Darwin, and Karl Marx—heirs of the Enlightenment who embodied its highest ideals about progress—and shows how their thoughts, over time and in the hands of their followers and opponents, transformed the very nature of our beliefs, institutions, economies, and politics. Yet these ideas also hold contradictions. They have been used in the service of brutal systems such as slavery and colonialism, been appropriated and twisted by monsters like Stalin and Hitler, and provoked reactions against the Enlightenment's legacy by Islamic Salafists and the Christian Religious Right. The Shape of the New argues that it is impossible to understand the ideological and political conflicts of our own time without familiarizing ourselves with the history and internal tensions of these world-changing ideas. With passion and conviction, it exhorts us to recognize the central importance of these ideas as historical forces and pillars of the Western humanistic tradition. It makes the case that to read the works of the great thinkers is to gain invaluable insights into the ideas that have shaped how we think and what we believe.
Book Synopsis Poems of Imagination by : Ian Henry Love
Download or read book Poems of Imagination written by Ian Henry Love and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2019-03-27 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These poems are the imaginings inside my head. Their ordering reflects my priorities. My family comes first. The time and place poems focus on everyday life, feelings and reactions to events. The narrative poems have helped me to grasp some of the issues lying behind the shifting identities in these islands. They dip down into pre-history and up again into the present day. Geology is a unifying theme. The commentary poems range from the serious to the frivolous. They set out my stall. I hope they are not too lecturing. The poems of possibility are my attempt to wrap some metaphysics around the real world. I have thought that when I go, maybe my “ Annie... “ poem and “ Dreaming On “ might make a suitable epitaph. As with music, I am aware that accessibility is important. I hope that the words in these poems let you in and are not too obscure.
