|  Produktbeschreibung (22398222): The subject of the passions has always haunted Western philosophy and, more often than not, aroused harsh judgments. For the passions represent a force of excess and lawlessness in humanity that produces troubling, confusing paradoxes.In this book, noted European philosopher Michel Meyer offers a wide-ranging exegesis, the first of its kind, that systematically retraces the history of philosophic conceptions of the passions in the work of such thinkers as Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Spinoza, Descartes, Hobbes, Rousseau, Kant, and Freud. The great ruptures that led to passion磗 condemnation as sin, and to its romantic exultation as the truth of existence, are meticulously registered and the logic governing them astutely explicated. Meyer thus provides new insight into an age-old dilemma: Does passion torture people because it blinds them, or, on the contrary, does it permit them to apprehend who and what we really are? | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder f黵 EUR 27.95 bestellen! |

Maps of the Imagination: The Writer as Cartographer (buecher.de - (Teil1)) |  Produktbeschreibung (22695441): In 创Maps of the Imagination,创 Peter Turchi posits the idea that maps help people understand where they are in the world in the same way that literature, whether realistic or experimental, attempts to explain human realities. The author explores how writers and cartographers use many of the same devices for plotting and executing their work, making crucial decisions about what to include and what to leave out, in order to get from here to there, without excess baggage or a confusing surplus of information. Turchi traces the history of maps, from their initial decorative and religious purposes to their later instructional applications. He describes how maps rely on projections in order to portray a three-dimensional world on the two-dimensional flat surface of paper, which he then relates to what writers do in projecting a literary work from the imagination onto the page. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder f黵 EUR 17.95 bestellen! |

| | Produktbeschreibung (22124981): This text is designed to facilitate an understanding of the fundamental principles of design without requiring readers to memorize an excess of confusing technological details. It integrates fundamentals with state-of-the-art techniques in computer design to demonstrate the complete design process, from specification to manufacturing. The book progresses through the design process, ranging in complexity from logic and sequential levels to the levels of RISC processors and complete ASICs. It introduces a generic component library that includes practical design constraints in order to explain concepts and implement worked-out examples. The work takes a contemporary approach to logic and sequential design, emphasizing a coherent design process instead of manual design techniques. An ASIC design process is introduced based on the sequential and behavioural synthesis used in modern CAD tools. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder f黵 EUR 259.95 bestellen! |

Suede: Love and Poison: The Authorised Biography (buecher.de - (Teil1)) |  Produktbeschreibung (22263013): When they appeared on the British rock scene in the early 1990s--a bastard fusion of the Smiths and Ziggy Stardust--some called them 创The Best New Band in Britain.创 At the time, the group--based around flamboyant vocalist Brett Anderson and guitarist Bernard Butler--hadn磘 released one note of music. What followed was an eponymous album that was to become the fastest-selling debut in British musical history, as well as a decade of narcotic excess, redemption, and fantastic pop music. Now fully updated to include the inside story of the band磗 decision to split and Brett磗 new solo ventures, 创Suede: Love and Poison创 traces the scarcely credible story of a band that went to hell and back. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder f黵 EUR 29.95 bestellen! |

|  Produktbeschreibung (22277227): In the 1970s a group of men and women with few ties to the circus emerged from the counterculture revolution and took to the streets, where they discovered how to entertain an audience. At a time when the Big Top was beset by shabby excess, escalating costs, and competition from movies and TV, the young performers dedicated themselves to skill and intimacy, beginning the movement Ernest Albrecht describes as the 创new American circus创, a reinvention of the circus as an authentic form of art. The first - and most radical - aspect of this movement was its revival of the traditions of the great one-ring shows of Europe and Russia. Focusing on artistry, not spectacle, the new American circus incorporated such allied arts as music and dance and embraced a notion of ensemble that was compatible with the communal ethic of the seventies. Working from interviews and other primary sources, Albrecht traces this history to the present (including current controversies over animal performers and efforts to secure subsidies), sketching the leading players in the new circus and profiling the shows they founded. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder f黵 EUR 25.95 bestellen! |

|  Produktbeschreibung (21517540): Numerous individuals throughout international labour markets work hours in excess of their standard contractual hours. Overtime working is a vital consideration in the employment and wage decisions of many households and firms. From a policy perspective, overtime is at the centre of interest in the work sharing/unemployment trade off. Robert Hart presents the first comprehensive economic evaluation of this phenomenon, examining theoretical, empirical and policy aspects of overtime hours and pay. In a comparative assessment of labour supply, labour demand and compensating differential models of overtime behaviour, he utilises detailed international evidence drawn from the United States, Western Europe and Japan. Policy initiatives linked to job creation, work sharing, absenteeism and payroll taxation are critically assessed and presented in an intuitive manner. Displaying analytical rigour and empirical expertise, Robert Hart磗 work extends far beyond a mere summary of existing research to enliven and inform debate. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder f黵 EUR 81.95 bestellen! |
