Rebirding: Rewilding Britain and its Birds (Pelagic Monographs)
by Benedict MacdonaldRebirding takes the long view of Britain’s wildlife decline, from the early taming of our landscape and its long-lost elephants and rhinos, to fenland drainage, the removal of cornerstone species such as wild cattle, horses, beavers and boar – and forward in time to the intensification of our modern landscapes and the collapse of invertebrate populations. It looks at key reasons why species are vanishing, as our landscapes become ever more tamed and less diverse, with wildlife trapped in tiny pockets of habitat. It explores how Britain has, uniquely, relied on modifying farmland, rather than restoring ecosystems, in a failing attempt to halt wildlife decline. The irony is that 94% of Britain is not built upon at all. And with more nature-loving voices than any European country, we should in fact have the best, not the most impoverished, wildlife on our continent. Especially when the rural economics of our game estates, and upland farms, are among the worst in Europe. Britain is blessed with all the space it needs for an epic wildlife recovery. The deer estates of the Scottish Highlands are twice the size of Yellowstone National Park. Snowdonia is larger than the Maasai Mara. The problem in Britain is not a lack of space. It is that our precious space is uniquely wasted – not only for wildlife, but for people’s jobs and rural futures too. Rebirding maps out how we might finally turn things around: rewilding our national parks, restoring natural ecosystems and allowing our wildlife a far richer future. In doing so, an entirely new sector of rural jobs would be created; finally bringing Britain’s dying rural landscapes and failing economies back to life.

Recent Soviet Psychology
by N. O'ConnorRecent Soviet Psychology attempts to discuss previous approaches to Russian psychological literature on the part of English-speaking specialists, Russian attitudes to their own psychology, and the fields of interest of Russian psychology as represented in this compendium. This collection is divided into three sections. The main themes covered by these sections are physiology, speech, and education. In the section dealing with physiology, topics such as the typological properties and psychological manifestations of the nervous system are examined. Other topics in this section include conditioned reflex, sense of touch, image in touch, sensitivity, and sensory memory. The last two sections are devoted to discussing voluntary movements; study and investigation of speech, speech problems, and thought; and learning. This text will be invaluable to those interested in Soviet psychology, as well as to psychology students and experts.
The Reception of George Eliot in Europe (The Reception of British and Irish Authors in Europe)
by Elinor Shaffer Catherine BrownGeorge Eliot (born Mary Ann Evans, 1819-1880) was one of the most important writers of the European nineteenth century, as well as a pioneering translator of challenging and controversial Continental thinkers, and an influential editor and essayist. Although such novels of provincial life as Adam Bede, The Mill on the Floss and Middlemarch have seen her characterised as a thoroughly English writer, her reception and immersion in the literary, intellectual and political life of Europe was remarkable. Written by a team of leading international scholars, The Reception of George Eliot in Europe is the first comprehensive and systematic survey of Eliot's place in European culture. Exploring Eliot's deep knowledge of German literature and thought, her galvanizing influence on women novelists and translators in countries as diverse as Sweden and Spain, her travels in Holland, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, the Czech Lands, Italy, and Spain and her friendship with leading figures such as Mazzini, Turgenev, and Liszt, this study reveals her full stature as a cosmopolitan writer and thinker. A film of her Italian Renaissance novel Romola was one of the first to circulate in Europe. Including an historical timeline and a comprehensive bibliography of primary and secondary sources and translations, The Reception of George Eliot in Europe is an essential reference resource for anyone working in the field of Victorian Literature or the European nineteenth century.

The Reception of W. B. Yeats in Europe (The Reception of British and Irish Authors in Europe)
by Klaus Peter JochumThe intellectual and cultural impact of British and Irish writers cannot be assessed without reference to their reception in European countries. These essays, prepared by an international team of scholars, critics and translators, record the ways in which W. B. Yeats has been translated, evaluated and emulated in different national and linguistic areas of continental Europe. There is a remarkable split between the often politicized reception in Eastern European countries but also Spain on the one hand, and the more sober scholarly response in Western Europe on the other. Yeats's Irishness and the pre-eminence of his lyrical work have posed continuous challenges. Three further essays describe the widely divergent reactions to Yeats in his native Ireland, during his lifetime and up to the most recent years.

Recht als Leidensordnung (Rheinisch-Westfälische Akademie der Wissenschaften #G 356)
by Bernhard Großfeld
Recht ex machina: Formalisierung des Rechts im Internet der Dienste
by Oliver Raabe Richard Wacker Daniel Oberle Christian Baumann Christian FunkIm Internet werden Informationen immer häufiger so ausgezeichnet, dass sie für Computer interpretierbar sind (Semantic Web). Solche maschinenlesbaren Informationen sorgen dafür, dass Dienste im Internet verfügbar gemacht und gefunden werden können. Diese Automatisierung schafft eine neue Rechtslage und stellt sowohl für die Rechtspflege als auch für Geschäftspartner eine Herausforderung dar. In dem Band präsentieren die Autoren eine automatisierte Rechtsfolgenermittlung als praxisrelevanten Ansatz zur Herstellung von Rechtssicherheit.
Recht sprechen
by Jan WittmannJan Wittmann zeigt anhand der Texte Der zerbrochne Krug von Heinrich von Kleist, Der Prozess von Franz Kafka und Corpus Delicti von Juli Zeh, dass die literarischen Welten im Hinblick auf das Handeln der Richter den hierum kreisenden juristischen Diskurs spiegeln, vertiefen und mit alternativen Kausalverläufen verbinden. Erstmalig wird in einer literatur- und rechtshistorischen Studie die Wandlung der Richterfigur im Kontext der Genese des zeitgenössischen Strafprozessrechts untersucht.
Recht und Pflicht in der medizinischen Humanforschung: Zu den rechtlichen Grenzen der kontrollierten Studie
by Friedrich FreierDer Autor untersucht die Legitimationsbedingungen kontrollierter Therapiestudien sowie die Rechtsprobleme von Trendaufklärung, Randomisierung, Verblindung und Placebokontrolle. Eine Systematisierung der Rechtfertigungsgründe für Forschungseingriffe führt zur Verteidigung der Notwendigkeit eigener oder fürsorglich-stellvertretender aufgeklärter Einwilligung oder ihrer Mutmaßung. Methodisch leitend ist eine interdisziplinäre Synthese rechtlicher, rechtstheoretischer, medizinethischer und wissenschaftstheoretische Argumente.
Rechtliche Grenzen der Fortpflanzungsmedizin: Die Zulässigkeit bestimmter Methoden der assistierten Reproduktion und der Gewinnung von Stammzellen vom Embryo in vitro im deutsch-israelischen Vergleich (Veröffentlichungen des Instituts für Deutsches, Europäisches und Internationales Medizinrecht, Gesundheitsrecht und Bioethik der Universitäten Heidelberg und Mannheim #15)
by Ulrich MayDer Autor stellt die Rechtslage in Israel hinsichtlich zahlreicher Spielarten der sog. assistierten Reproduktion, d.h. z.B. der Samenspende, der Leihmutterschaft, der In-vitro-Fertilisation usw. sowie die Gewinnung von Stammzellen vom Embryo in vitro umfassend dar. Das Werk ermöglicht einen Zugang zu besonders aktuellen Fragestellungen sowie zu einer Rechtsordnung, die vielen Interessierten aufgrund der sprachlichen Barrieren bislang verschlossen war. Der israelischen wird in einem zweiten Schritt die deutsche Rechtslage gegenübergestellt. Ein Werk, das insbesondere im Hinblick auf die aktuelle Diskussion in Deutschland über den Import embryonaler Stammzellen aus Israel sowie auf der Suche nach Grenzziehungen in der Fortpflanzungsmedizin von besonderem Wert ist.

Rechtsontologie: Eine Untersuchung über Entstehung, Existenz und Begründung von Recht (Juridicum - Schriften zur Rechtsphilosophie)
by André Ferreira Leite de PaulaDas Buch bietet eine Analyse der Ontologie des Rechts in Auseinandersetzung mit den wichtigsten realistischen, konstruktivistischen und phänomenologischen Konzeptionen. Die Darstellung verläuft problemorientiert, anstatt auf einzelne Autoren oder Theorien zentriert zu sein. Anhand einer Analyse der Verhältnisse von Normativität und Bewusstsein zeigt der Autor, wie sowohl das nichtpositive Recht als auch ungerechte Rechtsnormen eine Ontologie haben können und dass jeglicher Anspruch auf überpositives Recht in letzter Instanz naturrechtlich ist. Es wird auch ontologisch dargelegt, wie das richterliche Entscheiden einen berechtigten Anspruch auf Wahrheit erheben kann.

Rechtspraxis in einer globalisierten Lebenswelt: Interkulturelle Kompetenz als Schlüsselqualifikation für Juristen
by Martina Weis-DalalInterkulturalität ist in sämtlichen Bereichen des alltäglichen Lebens zu einem Merkmal unserer Zeit geworden. Mit den sich hieraus ergebenden Herausforderungen sieht sich auch die deutsche Justiz zunehmend konfrontiert. Am Beispiel des Strafrechts gibt dieser Band Aufschluss darüber, in welchen Hinsichten Kultur in der Rechtspraxis von Bedeutung ist, welche Fähigkeiten interkulturelle Kompetenz in Rechtsprechung und Rechtsberatung ausmachen und stellt Konzepte vor, wie eine zukunftsweisende Juristenausbildung aussehen könnte, die der Vielfalt unserer globalisierten Lebenswelt Rechnung trägt.Die AutorinDie Kulturwissenschaftlerin und Pädagogin Martina Weis-Dalal war in den Jahren 2014 - 2020 als wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin an der Juristischen Fakultät der Universität Würzburg tätig, wo sie das interdisziplinäre Lehrprojekt „Globale Systeme und interkulturelle Kompetenz“ (GSiK) vertrat und zu Interkulturalität und Recht lehrte.
