First published in 1917, "Growth of the Soil" is the epic and seminal work by Knut Hamsun, the Nobel Prize-winning Norwegian writer. Originally published in Norwegian and subsequently translated into numerous languages and read around the world, "Growth of the Soil" has been lauded as one of the twentieth-century's most important and ground-breaking novels. Hamsun was a pioneer in a new more realistic style of literature and was one of the first to use a stream of consciousness writing technique that would have a profound influence on such writers as Franz Kafka, Ernest Hemingway, and Henry Miller. "Growth of the Soil" is the lyrical and intensely subjective story of Isak, a rural farmer, his family, and his local community members. Isak represents the agrarian and primitive lifestyle that Hamsun idealized as opposed to the increasingly urban and modernized world around him. Isak and his family resist the obligations and complexities of the regimented world of rules and machines, but are also perplexed and confused by it when they are forced to interact with its realities. A thought-provoking examination of the tension between the old primitive world and the new modern one, "Growth of the Soil" endures as one of literature's modern masterpieces. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
First published in 1894, "Pan" is one of Norwegian author and Nobel prize-winning Knut Hamsun's most famous works. It is the story of Lieutenant Thomas Glahn, an ex-military man who lives alone in a hut in the woods with his faithful dog Aesop. Glahn's life changes when he meets Edvarda, a merchant's daughter from a nearby town, with whom he quickly falls in love. While they feel strongly for each other, they do not truly understand the other's perspective and tragedy soon befalls the lovers. Edvarda is not entirely faithful to Glahn and he is profoundly affected by her betrayal and the strange habits of the city people he does not feel connected to. Deeply symbolic and emotionally sensitive, "Pan" is a fascinating study in the psychological impact of unrequited love and helped cement Hamsun's reputation as a gifted author. Cited as one of the reasons for awarding him the Nobel Prize in Literature, "Pan" was a critical success and often lauded for its powerful and poetic prose. Hamsun's story endures as a powerful and moving story of one man's tragic experiences with love and his ultimate rejection of society in favor of the beauty of the natural world. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper and follows the translation of W. W. Worster.
Market-Oriented Product Innovation differs from most other titles, written either from a marketing or technical perspective, by giving a holistic view of the product innovation process. It has a product perspective, written from a managerial point of view, recognizing that product innovation, or new product development, is a discipline of its own. It is concerned with managing the products (goods and services) through their life cycle, integrating marketing knowledge and technological expertise, with the aim of getting satisfied customers. The book also gives a thorough treatment of the human and cultural aspects of product innovation by focusing on the change processes needed for the development of a market-oriented culture.
In attempting to carve out a place for themselves in local and global contexts, young Sikhs mobilize efforts to construct, choose, and emphasize different aspects of religious and cultural identification depending on their social setting and context. Young Sikhs in a Global World presents current research on young Sikhs with multicultural and transnational life-styles and considers how they interpret, shape and negotiate religious identities, traditions, and authority on an individual and collective level. With a particular focus on the experiences of second generation Sikhs as they interact with various people in different social fields and cultural contexts, the book is constructed around three parts: 'family and home', 'public display and gender', and 'reflexivity and translations'. New scholarly voices and established academics present qualitative research and ethnographic fieldwork and analyse how young Sikhs try to solve social, intellectual and psychological tensions between the family and the expectations of the majority society, between Punjabi culture and religious values.

Strandgut, also Gegenst nde, die vom Meer ans Ufer gesp lt wurden, hatten schon immer das Interesse von Ole Timm geweckt. Der Hauptkommissar a. D., der seinen Ruhestand direkt an der Ostsee verlebt, nimmt all die vom Wasser rund geschliffenen Holzst cke und Steine, Tang und Muscheln, Schnecken und Krebse, Algen und Quallen jedes Mal sorgf ltig in Augenschein. Aber Bernstein, das zu Stein gewordene Harz l ngst ausgestorbener B ume, hat er leider noch nie gefunden. Daf r Schnapsflaschen aus aller Herren L nder, meist fest verkorkt, die noch einen winzigen Schluck von dem Ges ff enthielten, den trinkende Matrosen auf Fahrt einem abergl ubischen Brauch zufolge den abgeschiedenen Seelen ertrunkener Seeleute als Opfergabe spendierten. Aber was er eines Tages beim Joggen am Meer entdeckt, bertrifft seine schlimmsten Bef rchtungen.
