Against a backdrop of environmental and societal concerns, best captured by the UN¿s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this book brings together the leading voices on Mosque architecture to make a case for its role as a purveyor of culture, heritage, and sustainability in the modern world. The Mosque, as an institution, continues to serve as the epicenter of spiritual, moral, and cultural life in Muslim societies. Recognizing that the popular understanding of Muslim culture and archetypes is, at best, minimal among the broader public worldwide, this book has two objectives: i.e., (i) to explore Masjid architecture as a carrier of culture, heritage, and the sustainability of Muslim communities; and (ii) to offer a bias-free introduction to the intricacies of Muslim architecture, culture, and heritage today. The papers featured in this collection were presented at the 5th Memaryat International Conference (MIC), held at Effat University, Jeddah. The MIC¿s objective is to build bridges between research communities engaged with diverse aspects of science, technology, and innovation, seen as the key levers for attaining the SDGs.

Dieses Buch seziert die Art und Weise, wie wir unseren Alltag ausmessen, abwägen und bewerten, um die eigene, ganz persönliche Welt klarer zu sehen und die wertvollen Ressourcen Zeit, Geld und Aufmerksamkeit für ein erfüllteres Lebens einzusetzen. Dafür stehen sechs Methoden zur Verfügung: Messen, Zählen und Wiegen sowie Schätzen, Vergleichen und Abhaken von Checklisten. Dabei fällt die Auswahl der Bewertungskriterien ebenso subjektiv aus wie die eigenen Bewertungen.Dieses Buch stellt diese Messmethoden an alltäglichen Beispielen vor und erläutert die geeigneten Methoden, um zu guten Alltags- und Lebensentscheidungen zu gelangen. Wahrnehmungsverzerrungen und (Selbst-) Manipulationen werden ebenso berücksichtigt wie die Frage, wie sich Unsicherheiten integrieren lassen.

This fifth volume in the Ecology and Ethics series integrates key concepts of the previous four volumes by addressing biocultural conservation through novel educational methods. In Field Environmental Philosophy (FEP), the authors undertake two complementary tasks. First, they address a problematic facet of education as an indirect driver of a global change and biocultural homogenization. Second, they contribute to solve the former problems by introducing the FEP method as well as other educational approaches from around the world that value and foster conservation of biological and cultural diversity. A particular emphasis is therefore on the integration of sciences, arts, humanities, and ethics into educational practices that involve the participation of local communities with their diverse forms of ecological knowledge and practices. The book is divided into four parts. Part I introduces FEP concepts and practices that involve a 4-step cycle of transdisciplinary research, poeticcommunication through composition of metaphors, design of field activities guided with an ecological and ethical orientation, and participation in biocultural conservation activities. Part II exposes problems as well as solutions in formal education (from preschool to higher education) and non-formal education to respect biocultural diversity. Parts III & IV provide case studies developed at long-term socio-ecological research (LTSER) sites, botanical gardens, and other platforms for non-formal education that contribute to biocultural conservation.This book supports a paradigm shift addressing still understudied indirect drivers of global change to foster the conservation of biological and cultural diversity. It is a valuable asset for scientists and practitioners in science and humanities education.

As technology changes daily, libraries have continued to upgrade. The Handbook of Research on Advancements of Contactless Technology and Service Innovation in Library and Information Science provides the reader with a variety of emerging trends concerning contactless technology in libraries, information centers, and other enterprises. This book offers chapters on emerging research, surveys, and technology. Covering topics such as digital libraries, metaverse, and security challenges, this major reference work is an essential resource for librarians, information professionals, administrators, students and educators of higher education, researchers, and academicians.

A young boy, an ox, and a rabbit thoughtfully navigate love, loss, and connection, learning how to live happily in an often stormy world.

It is impossible not to believe because we all have a perspective on the world, and this is reflected in our beliefs. We say "I believe that" when expressing our opinion. We don't believe someone else when their views differ greatly from our values and worldview. However, belief is not static. Our perspective can change, and belief can change us. Did you know that belief influences our perception of pain, and that we hold different beliefs depending on whether we are speaking our native language or another?This volume brings together interviews on the topic of "belief" from various scientific disciplines. It includes interviews with social psychologist Pia Lamberty, political scientist Hendrik Ohnesorge, neuroscientist Katja Wiech from the University of Oxford, linguist Panos Athanasopoulos, economist Nicola Gennaioli, Paul Hedges, professor of Interreligious Studies in Singapore, and Alexander Kaurov from the Institute for the History of Science at Harvard University.With illustrations by artist Daria Chernyshova.

This book incorporates a wealth of research focused on the more and more urgent challenges that urban planning and architectural design all over the world must cope with: from climate change to environmental decay, from an increasing urban population to an increasing poverty. In detail, this book aims at providing innovative approaches, tool and case study examples that, in line with the agenda of 2030, may better drive human settlements toward a sustainable, inclusive and resilient development. To this aim, the book includes heterogeneous regional perspectives and different methodologies and suggests development models capable of limiting further urban growth and re-shaping existing cities to improve both environmental quality and the overall quality of life of people, also taking account the more and more close relationships among urban planning and technological innovation.

A Storied Past: Collections of the Historic Odessa captures the historical character and significance of two important late-18th-century houses, each of which retains a high percentage of original furnishings and locally made objects.

Before the First World War, enthusiasm for a borderless world reached its height. International travel, migration, trade and progressive projects on matters ranging from women's rights to world peace reached a crescendo. Yet in the same breath, an undercurrent of reaction was growing, one that would surge ahead with the outbreak of war and its aftermath.In Against the World, a sweeping and ambitious work of history, acclaimed scholar Tara Zahra examines how nationalism, rather than internationalism, came to ensnare world politics in the early twentieth century. The air went out of the globalist balloon with the First World War as quotas were put on immigration and tariffs on trade, not only in the United States but across Europe, where war and disease led to mass societal upheaval. The "Spanish flu" heightened anxieties about porous national boundaries. The global impact of the 1929 economic crash and the Great Depression amplified a quest for food security in Europe and economic autonomy worldwide. Demands for relief from the instability and inequality linked to globalisation forged democracies and dictatorships alike, from Gandhi's India to America's New Deal and Hitler's Third Reich. Immigration restrictions, racially constituted notions of citizenship, anti-Semitism and violent outbursts of hatred of the "other" became the norm-coming to genocidal fruition in the Second World War.Millions across the political spectrum sought refuge from the imagined and real threats of the global economy in ways strikingly reminiscent of our contemporary political moment: new movements emerged focused on homegrown and local foods, domestically produced Hardbacking and other goods, and back-to-the-land communities. Rich with astonishing detail gleaned from Zahra's unparalleled archival research in five languages, Against the World is a poignant and thorough exhumation of the popular sources of resistance to globalisation. With anti-globalism a major tenet of today's extremist agendas, Zahra's arrestingly clearsighted and wide-angled account is essential reading to grapple with our divided present.

Dieses Lehrbuch setzt sich mit den zentralen Institutionen, Akteuren und politischen Prozessen um die globale Verteilung und Nutzung kritischer natürlicher Ressourcen auseinander. Einige Stimmen sehen die Welt bereits im Zeitalter der Ressourcenkriege angekommen, andere betonen, dass Ressourcenknappheit auch zu neuen Kooperationen im internationalen System führe. Unter dem Begriff ¿natürlicher Ressourcen¿ werden sowohl nachwachsende (z.B. Getreideprodukte, Holz) sowie nicht-nachwachsende Ressourcen (z.B. Rohöl oder Erdgas) gefasst, deren Verteilung und Nutzung politischen und ökonomischen Prozesse unterliegen.

¿This is a tour de force of sophisticated global erudition.¿ ¿Filippo de Vivo, University of Oxford, UK¿In its wide global range and rich variety of studies, this expertly edited volume provides an unprecedented view into the scribal practices of diverse cultural traditions in the early modern period.¿ ¿Johanna Drucker, University of California, Los Angeles, USA¿This volume finally gives the colophon the place it deserves. We see scribes and printers at work in Thailand, the Deccan, Delhi, Damascus, Antwerp, and Timbuktu.¿ ¿Konrad Hirschler, University of Hamburg, Germany¿In this cross-disciplinary endeavor, ten authors tell lively and exciting stories of historical scribal practices.¿ ¿Verena Klemm, University of Leipzig, Germany This book is the first to chart the global diversity of colophons between 1400 and 1800. The volume presents a new approach to scribal cultures that expands traditional definitions. Moving from the paradigm of codicological information towards a thorough interpretation of the wider social worlds of colophons in Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America, this volume uncovers the fascinating cultural history of early modern scribes. Chapters examine how those engaging in the composition and distribution of colophons shaped scribal identities, group cultures and bookish communities in a world in which manuscripts mattered. Authors build on approaches from anthropology, cultural studies, codicology, history, and philology to offer a new conceptual framework that studies colophons as scribal practices embedded in their changing social and cultural worlds. As a new contribution to the history of the book, this volume¿s global approach pushes the boundaries of what constitutes a colophon.

The Parthenon marbles case is the most famous international cultural heritage dispute concerning repatriation of looted antiquities, the Parthenon marbles in the British Museum¿s ¿Elgin Collection¿. The case has polarised observers ever since Elgin had the marbles hacked out of the ancient temple at the turn of the 19th century in Ottoman-occupied Athens. In 1816, a debt-stricken Elgin sold the marbles to the British government, which subsequently entrusted them to the British Museum, where they have remained since then.Much ink has been spilled on the Parthenon marbles. The ethical and cultural merits of their repatriation have been fiercely debated for years. But what has generally not been considered are the legal merits of their return in light of contemporary international law. This book is the first in legal scholarship to provide an international law perspective of the cause célèbre of international cultural heritage disputes and, in doing so, toclarify the new customary international law on the return of cultural property unlawfully removed from its original context.The book, which includes a foreword by Andrew Wallace-Hadrill, is a unique reference work on the legal case for the return of the Parthenon marbles and the new normative framework for the protection of cultural heritage.

This book contributes to the growing scientific literature on ¿intangible cultural heritage¿ ¿ determined by UNESCO to be particularly worthy of safeguarding and transmission ¿ by advancing a theoretical-analytical framework for the (in)tangible cultural heritage of dance. By exploring the potential of the ¿intangible materiality¿ of dance practice the book argues that implementing the concept of a ¿performative dance-archive¿ creates a new analytic field: research in praxis.The concept of the ¿performative dance-archive¿ draws out the potential for safeguarding and transmission of dance heritage, but also the challenges of the opposition between living heritage and the codifying of cultural inventories. This book uses the formal and contextual transformation of Argentine tango and German modern dance to discuss this ambiguity of intangible heritage and how the ¿performative dance-archive¿ creates a cognitive, empractical approach to determine, archive, and distribute danceknowledge.This is a timely methodological intervention in the context of the increasing importance of the intangible cultural heritage. It enables us to re-revise the concept of (im)materiality and the specific knowledges within cultural practice as a necessary fundamental category for research-processes and societal growth. This book is directed both to researchers in the field of intangible cultural heritage and to practitioners and researchers searching for new ways of investigating methods and perspectives to understand 'immaterial materialities'.

Spätestens seit der ausgerufenen ¿Zeitenwende¿ muss Sicherheitspolitik nicht nur neu, sondern auch anders gedacht werden. Der Dreiklang von Sicherheit, die Frieden schafft und Entwicklung ermöglicht, ist nicht mehr im Sinne von humanitären Interventionen zu denken, sondern in einem unübersichtlichen und mannigfaltigen politischen Umfeld neu zu verorten. Dieses Buch leistet einen Diskussionsbeitrag zu den Herausforderungen, Zielen und Konflikten in diesen interdependenten Politikfeldern. Die unterschiedlichen Perspektiven aus Sicht der Friedens-, Sicherheits- und Entwicklungspolitik werden durch Fallbeispiele illustriert.
