of Russia, through Alaska and Canada, to Greenland. Inuit language, history, semantics, sociology, and anthropology show a variety of distinct characteristics in different parts of this vast area. Covering an equally impressive range, The Language of the Inuit is the most comprehensive study to date of the language and the forces that have affected its development. The culmination of forty years of research, The Language of the Inuit maps the geographical distribution and linguistic differences between the Eskaleut and Inuit languages and dialects. Providing details about aspects of comparative phonology, grammar, and lexicon as well as Inuit prehistory and historical evolution, Louis-Jacques Dorais shows the effects of bilingualism, literacy, and formal education on Inuit language and considers its present status and future. An enormous task, masterfully accomplished, The Language of the Inuit is not only an anthropological and linguistic study of a language and the broad social and cultural contexts where it is spoken but a history of the language's speakers."--pub. desc. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
The organized theft of fine art by Nazi Germany has captivated worldwide attention in the last twenty years. Newly found works of art pit survivors and their heirs against museums, foreign nations, and even their own family members. These stories endure because they speak to one of the core tragedies of the Nazi era: how a nation at the pinnacle of fine art and culture spawned a legalized culture of theft and plunder. A Tragic Fate is the first book to seriously address the legal and ethical rules that have dictated the results of restitution claims between competing claimants to the same works of art. It provides a history of Art and Culture in German-occupied Europe, an introduction to the most significant collections in Europe to be targeted by the Nazis, and a narrative of the efforts to reclaim looted artwork in the decades following the Holocaust through profiles of some of the art world's most famous and influential restitution cases. On the surface, this dispute is similar to many others, but digging deeper one finds a multilayered puzzle that embodies the competing narratives often at play in restitution cases: persecution, obfuscation, the murky environment of the art market after the war, and the basic tension between legal systems and who should bear the burden of resolving the competing claims. But digging deeper one finds a multilayered puzzle that embodies the competing narratives often at play in restitution cases: persecution, obfuscation, the murky environment of the art market after the war, and the basic tension between legal systems and who should bear the burden of resolving the competing claims. There is no simple, unifying principle to these debates of stolen art. When approached by the heirs of victims, many current possessors look for the right answer. Some are indifferent. Some see a more complicated story in which their own interests and public service are more important than what happened eighty years ago. Disputes not yet known or filed will be guided by the stories and cases that have already happened. The tactics of and choices made by the parties to such disputes many times reveal the heartbreaking struggles that began in the past and continue to affect the descendants of the original owners today. A Tragic Fate: Law and Ethics in the Battle Over Nazi-Looted Art represents those stories. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
In erfolgreichen, guten Schulen werden Lehren und Lernen durch die bauliche Umgebung bestmöglich unterstützt – aus Schul- und Lernräumen sollten also Lebensräume werden. Um dies zu erreichen müssen erziehungswissenschaftliche, architekturpsychologische und architektonische Ansprüche in Einklang gebracht werden. Die AutorInnen nähern sich dem Thema der pädagogischen Schulraumgestaltung aus ihren jeweiligen Disziplinen und eröffnen Wege für eine optimalen Schul- und Klassenzimmergestaltung. In successful, good schools, teaching and learning are best supported by the structural environment - school and learning spaces should therefore become living spaces. In order to achieve this, educational |

science, architectural psychology and architectural requirements must be brought into harmony. The authors approach the topic of pedagogical schoolroom design from their respective disciplines and open up ways for optimal school and classroom design. |
Der Sammelband bietet einen guten ersten Einblick in das Thema. Er eignet sich für Leser, die Lernumwelten verbessern wollen. KlasseKinder 04/2017 Alles in allem liegt ein schmales, aber themenreiches Buch vor.[…] Aber das Buch kann sich in der Reihe von Büchern, die sich zuletzt auffallend konjunkturell mit dem Raum (von Schule) beschäftigt haben, durchaus behaupten. EWR 5/2016 Die Beiträge greifen den Zusammenhang von pädagogischen Konzepten und der Gestaltung der Lernumwelt anhand internationaler Beispiele auf. Genderundschule.de 10.10.2016 Beeindruckend werden empirische Forschungsergebnisse zum positiven Zusammenhang von gestalteter Umgebung und der Förderung des Lernens erörtert. Richtungsweisend ist die zum Ausdruck kommende Interdisziplinarität zwischen den beteiligten Disziplinen der Erziehungswissenschaft, der Architektur und der Psychologie. Praxisbeispiele zur guten Schularchitektur und zu entsprechenden Partizipationsprozessen machen das nicht ganz einfache Thema anschaulich. socialnet.de, 17.02.2016 |
