Die Kriminalität der Gesellschaft : Zur Gouvernementalität der Gegenwart (3896697277)

Anknüpfend an Michel Foucaults Begriff der Gouvernementalität untersucht die Autorin, wie sich Formen der Menschenführung mit den Konzepten von Staat und Gesellschaft verändern. Denn so, wie sich gegenwärtig das Verhältnis von Staat, Ãkonomie und Sozialem entlang gesellschaftlicher Kräfteverhältnisse neu formiert, werden auch die Adressaten des Regierens neu konfiguriert.Ein Beleg hierfür sind die gesellschaftlichen Problematisierungen von Abweichung und Kriminalität. War der "Delinquent" im 19. Jahrhundert die Kategorie, mit der die Kriminologie sich als Wissenschaft zur Verteidigung des Sozialen etablieren konnte, so bringt die "Ãkonomisierung des Sozialen" diese Kategorie eher zum Verschwinden. Soziale Probleme werden weniger an individuellen Tätern und Pathologien als an Risikomerkmalen und -gruppen festgemacht. Exemplarisch kommt diese Tendenz etwa im flächendeckenden Einsatz von Videoüberwachung in Einkaufszentren oder an öffentlichen Plätzen zu

Confessions : The Princess, the Prick & the Priest (9781731048837)

I am complex. My love is all-encompassing. And when it comes to my heart, there is only one rule: Don't mess with what's mine. Until the age of seven, I was Joel Alexander Donovan, son of Jimmy. The man who terrorized a town and made its citizens fear the very ground he walked on. Including me, the day I realized that ground ran red with blood. At age eighteen, I became Priest. A man without a past. A man determined to right the wrongs of my father. A man who never believed anyone could love the son of such a monster. But then a thief stole my heart. A sweetheart lit up my world. And I forgot for a moment you should never turn your back on your enemy. And thus begins a lesson to those who would seek to harm: Never underestimate what the Priest will do to protect the Princess and the Prick. Product details Format

Operation Romulus. Das Geheimnis der verschwundenen Nazi-Elite (3862824977)

"In unserer Zeit, Junge", hatte der alte Mann gesagt, "ist es wichtig - überlebenswichtig - niemandem zu trauen." Der Deutsch-Norweger Johann Göbbs tut gut daran, sich an die Maxime seines Großvaters zu halten: Traue niemandem! Als Spion der Alliierten während der Wirren des zu Ende gehenden 2. Weltkrieges dient er als Angehöriger der Luftwaffe im Reichsluftfahrtministerium - ständig in Gefahr, entlarvt zu werden. Sein Auftrag: Informationen über ein geheimes Projekt der Nazis zu sammeln. Dafür muss er tief in deren verhasste Strukturen vordringen. Das Geheimprojekt nördlich von Berlin - ein neuer Flugzeugtyp - entpuppt sich aber nur als Anfang von etwas noch Größerem, etwas, das die sich andeutende Nachkriegsordnung grundsätzlich in Frage stellen könnte. Wohin verschwinden die Flugzeuge? In die legendäre Alpenfestung? Haben sie etwas mit dem rätselhaften Verschwinden hochrangiger Mitglieder der Nazi-Elite zu tun? Bald schon verschwimmen die Grenzen zwischen Freun

Mind The Gap : The truth about desire and how to futureproof your sex life (9781472267139)

'This book taught me so much about female desire. A must read!' Cherry Healey Did you know that there is an orgasm gap of around 30% between heterosexual couples when they have sex? In Mind The Gap, Dr Karen Gurney, a clinical psychologist and certified psychosexologist, explores not just this gap, but the gaps in our knowledge of so much of the most important new science around sex and desire. In this book, you will learn that nearly everything that you've been led to believe about female sexuality isn't actually true. And that, despite what you might think, it is possible to simultaneously feel little to no spontaneous desire and have a happy and mutually satisfying sex life long term. Exploring the mismatch between ideas about sex in our society and what the science tells us, Mind The Gap also explains how this disconnect lies at the root of many of our sexual problems. Combining science with case studies, practical exercises and tips, this is a book for anyone who w

The Merry Recluse : A Life in Essays (1582433143)

From the best-selling author of Drinking: A Love Story, and Appetites: Why Women Want comes this unforgettable collection spanning fifteen years of observations on modern culture and women's lives. Caroline Knapp's readers are known not just for their number, but for their intense connection to her work. Knapp connected so well in part because of the intense focus she brought to her subjects. Now, with The Merry Recluse: A Life in Essays, Knapp shows us that her vision through a wider lens is as brilliant as through a narrow one. These essays paint the fullest picture of this wonderful writer that we've yet seen, but they are also a full portrait of a writing life, showing how the same themes can engage--and expand--a writer over a lifetime. Knapp, who died in 2002, was considered one of the country's more intelligent and graceful voices in memoirs. This collection also shows her to be a witty, provocative observer of the world around her.

Kievan Russia (0300016476)

Kievan Russia was originally published in a clothbound edition in 1948 as volume two in George Vernadsky's comprehensive series, A History of Russia. It is now available for the first time in a paperbound edition. At the time of its publication Kievan Russia received the following reviews: "The account of this little-know chapter of Russian history is based on a formidable mass of Slavic Byzantine, Germanic, and Oriental (notably Arabic and Persian_ sources. Much of this material is new, and the thorough utilization of all primary and secondary literature accumulated since Kluchevsky wrote his great history easily makes this volume the definitive study of the Kievan period in the English language. There is hardly an aspect of the life of Russia at that time which remains untouched, and the scope of the author's interests and erudition is indeed impressive....When all is said, Vernadsky's filling a definite gap in American historical literature."-The Annals

Domain-Driven Design Reference : Definitions and Pattern Summaries (1457501198)

Domain-Driven Design (DDD) is an approach to software development for complex businesses and other domains. DDD tackles that complexity by focusing the team's attention on knowledge of the domain, picking apart the most tricky, intricate problems with models, and shaping the software around those models. Easier said than done! The techniques of DDD help us approach this systematically. This reference gives a quick and authoritative summary of the key concepts of DDD. It is not meant as a learning introduction to the subject. Eric Evans' original book and a handful of others explain DDD in depth from different perspectives. On the other hand, we often need to scan a topic quickly or get the gist of a particular pattern. That is the purpose of this reference. It is complementary to the more discursive books. The starting point of this text was a set of excerpts from the original book by Eric Evans, Domain-Driven-Design: Tackling Complexity in the Heart of Software, 2004 - in pa
