'In this new book, historian Harry Miller again makes use of the gentry/state conflict paradigm he had developed and utilized so effectively in his first book to explore the way the state-versus-gentry interplay became a factor in the decision-making process of the Qing rulers as the new Manchu rulers began to establish their control of China. As was the case with its predecessor, State versus Gentry in Early Qing Dynasty China, 1644-1699 balances strong narrative and analysis to provide a deeper and more sophisticated awareness of what the dramatic and often painful decades of 'regime change' were like in seventeenth-century China.' - Murray A. Rubinstein, Senior Research Associate, Weatherhead East Asian Institute, Columbia University, USA

'Harry Miller's thought-provoking study extends his investigation of the Ming state gentry conflict over Chinese political sovereignty into the founding years of the Qing from the Dorgon Regency to the mid-Kangxi reign. This beautifully written narrative incorporates translated passages from the writings of key imperial elites and scholar-officials in the midst of this sixty-year power struggle that culminated in the political and symbolic acceptance of the Kangxi Emperor's sagehood. This book is extremely important because it shows that the Ming-Qing transition was a period of great political continuity and synthesis, not one of conflict, violence, and ethnic divide alone. It also shows that the scholar-official class and Chinese political traditions had an important hand in the creation of the Qing imperial enterprise.' - Jane Kate Leonard, Professor Emerita of History, The University of Akron, USA

'An engagingly written and richly observed ethnography of the rise of direct sales in Mexico .Cahn's analysis of direct sales fits most clearly into the literature on religious movements, but it also aims to intervene in discussions of political and economic anthropology, especially the role of neoliberal policies and ideologies in developing economies.' - PoLAR

"Cahn takes two unusual approaches in his book. First, in this ethnography of direct sales, he chooses to focus on a single representative of a single vitamin supplement company - a woman he calls Luisa, who sells Omnilife products in Morelia, Mexico, as well as briefly in Santiago, Chile. Cahn is not the first researcher to take this focus, but this narrow approach continues to be uncommon. However, Cahn demonstrates the possibility for great depth of analysis by sacrificing breadth of sample. Second, he analyzes direct marketing through the theoretical lens of religion. Summing Up: Recommended. All levels/libraries" - CHOICE

"In loving detail, Cahn chronicles how Omnilife has become one of the most visible multi-level marketing schemes in Mexico." - Anthropological Quarterly

“Coreen Davis focuses on the criminal trials that
are currently taking place in Argentina against alleged perpetrators of human
rights violations committed during the last civil-military dictatorship
(1976-1983). … the book offers an interesting read, especially for those who
are not so familiar with Argentina and with the human rights trials that are
currently taking place in that country.” (Saskia van Drunen, Criminal Law and

"In Emergent Learning for Wisdom, Marilyn Tayloroutlines the 21st Century challenges brought on by exponential change and proceeds to offer solutions based on the new emergent science of learning that has replaced 20th Century behaviorism.She develops a model of the emergent learning process that incorporates and elaborates the new science, particularly the "inside-out" version of developmental theories of Bateson, Kegan, and Wilber and Experiential Learning Theory.The book outlines 12 practical learning practices that can guide us through the process of emergent learning. It is a great resource on the latest wisdom on learning and development." - David A.

"This is an outstanding identification guide to the birds of prey of North America, and deserves a place in every serious birder's library. Indeed it would be my first recommendation to anyone considering the purchase of a guide to North American raptors. It distills a vast amount of information and experience into a novel format that will be useful to birders at all levels of experience. The Crossley Guide: Raptors achieves its goal of making learning easy and fun, and is about as close as reading a book can come to actually being out in the field with an expert. It will be hard to go back to the older guides now!"---Peter Candido, Discovery

10. Workshop "Sicherheit in vernetzten Systemen"

Der Autor erz&auml;hlt leicht verst&auml;ndlich und ohne &uuml;berfl&uuml;ssigen Ballast, wie
man mit dem Fahrrad von Seattle/ Washinton nach Tucson/ Arizona f&auml;hrt.
Im ersten Teil beschreibt er die Besonderheiten des "American Way Of Life"
und geht auch auf grunds&auml;tzliche &Uuml;berlegungen zur Vorbereitung einer Radtour
durch die USA ein. Au&szlig;erdem wird der Fahrradtransport im Flugzeug  genau
erkl&auml;rt. Im zweiten Teil werden die einzelnen Tagesetappen entlang der
US- Westk&uuml;ste von Seattle nach San Francisco und weiter bis nach Arizona
geschildert. Auf die Sehensw&uuml;rdigkeiten entlang der Strecke wird auch hingewiesen.Weiterhin
werden Alternativstrecken nach Los Angeles und ins amerikanisch- mexikanische
Grenzgebiet in Arizona vorgestellt. Au&szlig;erdem schildert der Autor pers&ouml;nliche
Erlebnisse w&auml;hrend der Tour, beim Auffrischen alter Bekanntschaften aus
fr&uuml;heren USA- Reisen  und beim "Offroadradeln" auf Naturpisten im S&uuml;den
Arizonas.  Die Erlebnisse w&auml;hrend einiger "wilder" Campingn&auml;chte  in der
W&uuml;ste fehlen nat&uuml;rlich auch nicht.
