Potenziale entdecken: Neun Inspirationen für eine ganzheitliche Persönlichkeits- und Unternehmensentwicklung
by Ralf Schneider Robert Becker Marion SchreierDie Autoren zeigen auf Basis aktueller neuropsychologischer Erkenntnisse eine neue ganzheitliche Perspektive auf, wie Individuen und Kollektive wie Teams, Einheiten oder ganze Organisationen weiterentwickelt werden können. Es werden neun Potenzialfelder identifiziert und im Sinne einer ganzheitlichen Persönlichkeits- und Unternehmensentwicklung beleuchtet. Erst wenn es gelingt, alle Potenzialfelder gezielt zu „bespielen“, wird tatsächlich das gesamte Potenzial einer Persönlichkeit und/oder eines Unternehmens ausgeschöpft! Anschauliche Beiträge erfolgreicher Experten aus Wissenschaft und Unternehmenspraxis inspirieren dazu, anhand dieser Potenzialfelder neu über Menschen und Organisationen nachzudenken und Leistungspotenziale zu entdecken.
Potenziale des Fernlinienbusverkehrs in Deutschland: Eine systemdynamische Betrachtung
by Christian BurgdorfChristian Burgdorf geht der Frage nach, ob sich der Fernlinienbus nach der Marktliberalisierung im Januar 2013 langfristig im innerdeutschen Personenfernverkehr etablieren kann. Hierfür verwendet er ein systemdynamisches Simulationsmodell, mit dem sich die Entwicklung verschiedener Kenngrößen wie Verkehrsleistung und Umsatz unter Berücksichtigung bestimmter Rahmenbedingungen und Veränderungsprozesse in Politik, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft abschätzen lässt. Neben fundierten Erkenntnissen zu den Potenzialen des Fernlinienbusverkehrs in Deutschland erhalten Forscher und Praktiker auch einen ausführlichen Einblick in die Konstruktion des Modells.

The Potential for Anthropology and Urban Community Engagement: Lessons Learned from Twenty-Five Years in Milwaukee
by Jill Florence Lackey Rick PetrieThe relationship between anthropology departments and their surrounding urban communities has been traditional limited by a number of factors. The Potential for Anthropology and Urban Community Engagement pushes past these limitations, developing a firm foundation from which applied anthropology can support grassroots research and lasting community programs. Using two partnering Milwaukee organizations as examples, this volume explores the need in urban neighborhoods for practicing anthropologists, how a high volume of asset-building programs can be developed by practicing anthropologists, and the potential efficacy of anthropology departments in partnering with urban neighborhoods.

Pot Politics: Marijuana and the Costs of Prohibition
by Mitch EarleywineMarijuana use continues to attract interest and fuel controversy. Big, green pot leaves have adorned the covers of Time, National Review, and Forbes. Almost 100 million Americans have tried marijuana at least once. Groups such as The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana (NORML) and The Marijuana Policy Project (MPP) have tens of thousands of members. Polls suggest that 70-80% of Americans support medicinal marijuana. At least 11 U.S. states have experimented with decriminalization and medical marijuana laws, with new initiatives appearing each year. Meanwhile, other groups such as Partnership for a Drug Free America and Mothers Against Drugs protest legalization. Clearly, debate about marijuana policy shows no sign of abating. In his earlier book, Understanding Marijuana, Mitch Earleywine forced researchers, policy makers, and citizens to avoid oversimplification, separate empirical findings from their interpretations, and understand that some things may be neither good nor evil. Pot Politics continues with these same themes, showing multiple perspectives from a variety of experts on an important problem with vast implications. The volume presents ethical, religious, economic, psychological, and political arguments for cannabis policies that range from prohibition to unrestricted legalization. By presenting a unique perspective on overlapping issues, each chapter demonstrates how even recognized experts draw markedly different conclusions from the same data. Some contributors evaluate policy by weighing the costs and benefits of control while others eschew policy by presenting moral arguments against our attempts at control. Pot Politics should be read by everyone interested in the politics of both marijuana use and governmental regulation of our actions.

Postwar Fertility Trends and Differentials in the United States
by Ronald R. Rindfuss James A. SweetPostwar Fertility Trends and Differentials in the United States examines fertility trends and levels within social and economic subgroups in the United States. The major portion of the book deals with the time period 1945-1969; the last chapter extends the findings through the first half of the 1970s. The study is based on data made available by the release of the 1-in-a-100 Public Use Samples from the 1960 and 1970 United States Censuses. This book is the first comprehensive study of socioeconomic fertility trends and differentials to use these Public Use Samples. The book opens with a chapter that presents annual estimates of age-specific fertility rates by educational attainment of women and by race for the period 1945-1969. Separate chapters then examine the pattern of differentials in recent fertility in the late 1950s and the late 1960s for the U.S. population as a whole; changing fertility during the period 1955-1969; and differentials in fertility within and among members of various racial and ethnic minorities. Subsequent chapters deal with rural fertility trends and differentials; the effect of migration on fertility; and the similarity of all social and economic groups with respect to fertility trends.
Posttraditionale Gemeinschaften: Theoretische und ethnografische Erkundungen (Erlebniswelten)
by Ronald Hitzler Anne Honer Michaela PfadenhauerDer Band diskutiert neue Formen sozialer Vergemeinschaftung: Posttraditionale Gemeinschaften können die Frage ihrer Mitgliedschaft nicht wirksam sanktionieren. Sie können den Einzelnen zur Mitgliedschaft nicht verpflichten, sondern ihn in aller Regel lediglich zur Mitgliedschaft verführen. Diese "Verführung" geschieht wesentlich durch die Option zur Teilhabe an von den dadurch Angesprochenen als "erlebenswert" angesehenen sozialen Ereignissen. Derartige Ereignisse treten üblicherweise nicht zufällig ein, sondern sind in der Regel (kalkulierte) kollektive Ausbrüche aus der Banalität des Alltags.
Poststructuralist Discourse Analysis: Subjectivity in Enunciative Pragmatics (Postdisciplinary Studies in Discourse)
by J. AngermullerThis book presents developments of discourse analysis in France and applies its tools to key texts from five theorists of structuralism: Lacan, Althusser, Foucault, Derrida and Sollers. It pays special attention to enunciative pragmatics as a poststructuralist approach which analyzes the discursive construction of subjectivity.
Poststructuralism, Philosophy, Pedagogy (Philosophy and Education #12)
by J. D. MarshallThis book has been quite long in the making. In its original format, but with some different chapters, and with the then publisher, it foundered (as did other volumes in the planned series). At the in press stage, when we obviously thought it was going ahead, it was suddenly canned. Quite distraught I closed it away in a desk drawer for a year or so. But then Joy Carp of Kluwer Academic Publishers expressed an interest in it, and we were in business again. Most of the contributors to the original volume have stayed with it, only to be delayed by myself, for a variety of reasons (but see the dedication). I had been writing on Michel Foucault for a number of years but had become concerned about mis-appropriations of his ideas and works in educational literature. I was also concerned about the increasingly intemperate babble in that literature of the notion of postmodernism. Indeed at one major educational conference in North America I listened to a person expounding postmodernism in terms of ‘Destroy, Destroy, Destroy’. Like Michel Foucault I am not quite sure what postmodernism is, but following Mark Poster’s account of poststructuralism - as merely a collective term to catch a number of French thinkers – I thought that what we had to do in education was to look at what particular thinkers had said, and not become involved in vapid discussion at an abstract level on ‘-isms’. Thus the book was conceived.
Poststructuralism and After: Structure, Subjectivity and Power
by D. HowarthThis book articulates the key theoretical assumptions of poststructuralism, but also probes its limits, evaluates rival approaches and elaborates new concepts. Building on the work of Derrida, Foucault, Heidegger, Lacan, Laclau, Lévi–Strauss, Marx, Saussure and Žižek, the book also provides a distinctive version of the poststructuralist project.
Postsecular Feminisms: Religion and Gender in Transnational Context
by Nandini DeoPostsecular Feminisms explores the contested relationship between feminism and secularism through a series of case studies, featuring perspectives from the global North and South. It offers insights beyond those of the Abrahamic traditions, and includes multiple examples from South Asia. By decentering the European experience, Postsecular Feminisms shows how secularism and feminism have been constituted in North America, South Asia, and Anglophone West Africa. The book asks: can postsecular feminism offer a way to think about religion and gender so as to support women in all the variety of their lived experiences? The contributors show that postsecular feminism is a variety of feminism that is not necessarily either secularist or anti-secular. Rather it is feminism informed by a history of secularist bias within liberal feminism. Postsecular Feminisms explores both the potentials and pitfalls of postsecular feminisms, with some authors arguing that a contextually grounded praxis is possible, while others make a strong case against postsecular feminism as theory and practice.

Postsecular Cities: Space, Theory and Practice (Continuum Resources in Religion and Political Culture)
by Justin Beaumont Christopher BakerThis book reflects the wide-spread belief that the twenty-first century is evolving in a significantly different way to the twentieth, which witnessed the advance of human rationality and technological progress, including urbanisation, and called into question the public and cultural significance of religion. In this century, by contrast, religion, faith communities and spiritual values have returned to the centre of public life, especially public policy, governance, and social identity. Rapidly diversifying urban locations are the best places to witness the emergence of new spaces in which religions and spiritual traditions are creating both new alliances but also bifurcations with secular sectors. Postsecular Cities examines how the built environment reflects these trends. Recognizing that the 'turn to the postsecular' is a contested and multifaceted trend, the authors offer a vigorous, open but structured dialogue between theory and practice, but even more excitingly, between the disciplines of human geography and theology. Both disciplines reflect on this powerful but enigmatic force shaping our urban humanity. This unique volume offers the first insight into these interdisciplinary and challenging debates.

POSTSECULAR CATHOLICISM C: Relevance and Renewal
by Michele DillonThe Catholic Church faces the challenge of maintaining its relevance in an increasingly secularized society. On issues ranging from sexuality and gender equality to economic policy and social welfare, the church hierarchy is frequently out-of-step with Catholics and non-Catholics alike. In Postsecular Catholicism, Michele Dillon argues that the Church's relevance is increasingly contingent on its ability to incorporate secular experiences and expectations into the articulation of the Church's teachings. Informed by the postsecular notion that religious and secular actors should recognize their mutual relevance in contemporary society, Dillon examines how secular realities and church doctrine intersect in American Catholicism. She shows that the Church's 21st-century commitment to institutional renewal has been amplified by Pope Francis's vision of public Catholicism and his accessible language and intellectual humility. Combining wide-ranging survey data with a rigorous examination of Francis's statements on economic inequality, climate change, LGBT rights, and women's ordination, the highly consequential Vatican Synod on the Family, and the US Bishops' religious freedom campaign, Postsecular Catholicism assesses the initiatives and strategies impacting the Church's relevance in the contemporary world.

Postsecondary Education for First-Generation and Low-Income Students in the Ivy League: Navigating Policy and Practice
by Kerry H. LandersThis book examines how previously excluded high-achieving, low-income students are faring socially and academically at an Ivy League college in New England. In the past, research conducted on low-income students in elite schools focused mainly on the admissions process. As a result, there is a dearth of research on what happens to low-income students once they are admitted and attend classes. This book chronicles an ethnographic study of twenty low-income men and women in their senior year at Dartmouth College and follows up with them four and twelve years post-graduation. By helping to bring visibility and self-awareness to low-income students and expose class issues and struggles, the author hopes to encourage elite institutions to change their policies and practices to address the needs of these students.

Postnational Memory, Peace and War: Making Pasts Beyond Borders (Memory Studies: Global Constellations)
by Nigel YoungThis book examines the phenomenon of modern memory as a reaction to total war, an aspiration to truth-seeking provoked by the independent forces of modern war and collective violence which is transnational, or postnational, in character. Using examples from prose and poetry, film and theatre, painting and photography, and music and the popular arts, the author traces a narrative path through the events of the twentieth century, defining the tradition of modern memory in terms of its essentially anti-militaristic, anti-war character, as expressed in the manner in which it represents recalled violence and atrocity. Through a series of thematic discussions of two world wars, the Shoah, urbicide and nuclear weapons, Postnational Memory explores the formation of transnational memory, drawing on examples from industrialized societies, with a focus on memory of real events and their reproduction in literature and the arts, often including personal recollections that link the self to the represented past. As such, by asking how the concept of modern memory is constructed through the victims of war and genocide, the book constitutes an alternative to national memories and hegemonic, militarist or ethnocentric histories. Surveying the emergence of new, transnational forms of remembering the past, it will appeal to students and scholars of sociology, memory studies and peace studies, as well as those working in disciplines such as modern and international history, cultural studies and military studies.
