Der Wert der Sehnsucht

"Man kann dem Verfasser nur zu dieser Ausgabe gratulieren, die neben einer flüssig lesbaren Übersetzung in wohltuender Knappheit und ansprechender Form alle wichtigen zoologischen und philosophischen Informationen aus Antike und Moderne in Bezug auf die Mensch-Tier-Beziehung präzise auf den Punkt bringt und deshalb gewiss für lange Zeit der Standardkommentar für die wissenschaftliche Beschäftigung mit diesen drei berühmten Traktaten Plutarchs unter dem Aspekt der Human-animal studies bleiben wird." - Bryn Mawr Classical Review
[One can only congratulate the author on this edition, which, in addition to a fluentlyreadable translation in a pleasantly concise and appealing form, brings all the important zoological and philosophical information from antiquity and the present in relation to human-animal relations precisely to the point. It will certainly remain the standard commentary for the scientific study of these three famous treatises by Plutarchfrom the point of viewof human-animal studies for a long time.]

’The big plus of the book is that it is written for everyone, independently of their field of expertise.’ Newsletter of the Europe Chapter of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, no. 2, 2014  ’Flying Fast Jets will be a valuable contribution to the knowledge of aviation medicine, and it will provide much of the foundational knowledge that will be useful in the clinical practice of aviation medicine as it relates to fast-jet aircrew.’ Journal of the Australasian Society of Aerospace Medicine, no. 9, November 2014  ’David Newman is deservedly well known in aeromedical circles, and this book will enhance his stature ... sufficient basic explanation for the novice, and detailed aeromedical psycho-physiology for an aeromedical specialist ... This book is the most useful small volume in years, concisely presenting the stresses of the most demanding aviation environment.  It will be of great interest to novice and expert alike, and David is to be congratulated for his worthy effort.’ Aerospace Medicine and Human Performance, Vol. 86, No. 2, February 2015 ’As well as giving the general reader an insight into the world of high performance military aircraft, this book will be a useful handbook for those more actively involved in whatever capacity on a fast jet squadron.’ Aerospace, June 2015

From the reviews:

"This book is focused on the latter applications and offers a rather unique viewpoint in comparison with the existing combustion literature. … the central argument of the book and the subsequent applications are clearly laid out and discussed, resulting in a very interesting read. … The book provides valuable access to numerous experimental and theoretical results less readily available in the English literature. … The book should be considered a specialist … ." (Joanna M. Austin, AIAA Journal, Vol. 46 (2), 2008)
"In his book, Prof. K. Terao develops a theory based on the second law of thermodynamics and which intends to model irreversible phenomena. … The paper ends with a list of references covering both the history and the current development of ignition processes. … The book will surely be useful to engineers … . Researchers will also find the description of experimental devices and experimental data concerning these irreversible phenomena." (Alain Brillard, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1165, 2009)

’This timely volume links contributions addressing the housing crisis in key European jurisdictions, with major issues in housing worldwide. On its own, each contribution adds welcome depth to our understanding; as a whole the volume strikingly illustrates the connections among legal frameworks, financial policy, and social pressures on the availability and security of housing across the world.’ Jessie Hohmann, Queen Mary University of London, UK  ’This book presents a timely, comprehensive and incisive analysis of the impact of globalization and the recent financial crisis on the domestic housing policies and capacities of nation states. In the best traditions of socio-legal scholarship, it blends doctrinal analysis with empirical evidence and sophisticated policy recommendations to offer constructive guidance for legislators as they confront the challenge of housing disadvantage.’   Brendan Edgeworth, University of New South Wales, Australia  ’The deregulation, liberalization and internationalization of finance have had major implications for housing and urban developments throughout the world. The financialization of housing has been accompanied by the conceptual transformation of adequate housing from a social good into a commodity and financial asset and housing markets are increasingly regulated so as to promote financial rather than social aspects of housing. This book analyses how this process has impacted on violations of the right to adequate housing in different countries and regions. More than understanding the situation, the book offers alternatives and perspectives, crucial in the current housing crisis.’ Raquel Rolnik, UN Special Rapporteur on the right to adequate housing and University of Sao Paolo, Brazil

’We all know that goals are dreams with deadlines. We also know that setting goals enables us to turn the invisible into the visible. What’s more, goals are the catalysts of change. If we set goals, and pursue these full heartedly, we are likely to arrive at remarkable places. Susan David, David Clutterbuck and David Megginson have been in pursuit of exactly the remarkable in their book Beyond Goals. Their contributions and the ones of their associates show us the road forward in making coaching and mentoring a highly successful endeavour. This book is a must for everyone interested in this rapidly expanding field of studies.’ Manfred F. R. Kets de Vries, INSEAD, France  ’We have needed this considered and careful exploration of the use of goals in coaching to challenge any number of blithe assumptions. The range of perspectives and the depth of coverage in this volume will encourage more reflective and effective engagement to help clients change what matters. I'm adding it to our "must-read" list for coaching supervisors.’ Douglas Riddle, Global Director Coaching Services & Assessment Portfolio, Center for Creative Leadership, USA  ’Beyond Goals is an educative, highly readable and compelling analysis of standard practices in goal setting for individuals and business. You are invited to challenge current thinking and traditional techniques for goal achievement and to engage with stimulating perspectives that have the potential to revolutionise the future of goal setting. An inspirational and invaluable resource for all those involved with mentoring and coaching.’ Lise Lewis, International President of the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC)  ’This book is a jewel of an examination of goals, their rich colors and facets visible here as nowhere else I have seen. Leaders in the coaching field highlight the complexity of goals and the many ways to help clients reach them - and reach beyond them. In a field that is sometimes simpli

'This incisive collection of essays takes the reader through a set of crisply written feminist case studies of worlds of gender and violence. From Liberia to Peru, from the DRC to US occupation forces in Afghanistan and many places in between, the authors explicitly explore not only the everyday worlds of violence with women and intersectionality at the center, but explicitly address cutting-edge questions of feminist methodology, politics and ethics in research on war.　 Refreshingly honest and without cant, this multi-disciplinary volume will be a must read for researchers and practitioners everywhere interested both scholarship and praxis around the problem of gender and war.' - Catherine Lutz, Professor of Anthropology and International Studies and co-director of the Costs of War Project, Brown University, USA

A Baker & Taylor Academic Essentials Title in Human Geography  'A well thought out elaboration of Gunnar Olsson’s oeuvre, this edited volume is set up to bring together the work of academics who have interpreted his work in a variety of ways, interspersed with Olsson’s original writings. I enjoyed reading an original Olsson piece followed by an interpretation or elaboration by one of his devotees. It was particularly engaging when chapters moved from academic engagement to personal recollections...' Geographical Review  'Abrahamsson and Gren ... have done a great and invaluable service for geographical scholarship. Acting as conductors they skillfully orchestrate pieces ... into a coherent overarching multi-perspectival intellectual symphonia, which interspersed with critical tones and colors from Olsson's own oeuvre over the past thirty years, provides an Arcades-like impression of one of the most innovative geographical thinkers at work on the planet today.'

'Passing/Out is an exciting collection of thoughtful and sometimes even fiery conversations on the topic of LGBTIQ identities and the complex notions of passing and coming out. The essays are lucid and highly engaging and the diverse and dialogical nature of the anthology allows for an exploration that is both broad and deep. It's a must read - and a fun read - for anybody interested in the ethical, political, and metaphysical dimensions of "passing" and "out-ness".'    Talia Mae Bettcher, California State University, Los Angeles, USA

'... articulate, engaging and wide-ranging study ... Very readably integrating phases of close reading with robust theoretical appetite, it is particularly successful in engineering a dialogue between elements of a contemporary, largely Anglo-American, ’utopian studies’ perspective and its primary French-language corpus, balanching historical sensitivity with analytical energy in the process.' Michael G. Kelly, Modern and Contemporary France   '[Sipe’s book] makes an original and highly important contribution to the study of utopian thought in modern French culture.'

'The relationship between photography and architectural subjects - especially in the nineteenth century - has received some analysis by contemporary writers, but primarily within the context of the work of individual photographers or as a component of a general survey. Michele Nilson’s book [...] provides a much-needed framework for an expanded discussion of this subject by offering categories and objectives that should be defined when assessing early architectural photography.'
