Civil Disobedience and the German Courts

Civil Disobedience and the German Courts

Peter E. Quint

Routledge Cavendish
2007
sidottu
In the 1980s the West German Peace Movement -- fearing that the stationing of NATO nuclear missiles in Germany threatened an imminent nuclear war in Europe -- engaged in massive protests, including sustained civil disobedience in the form of sit-down demonstrations. Civil Disobedience and the German Courts traces the historical and philosophical background of this movement and follows a group of demonstrators through their trials in the German criminal courts up to the German Constitutional Court -- in which their fate was determined in two important constitutional cases. In this context, the volume also analyzes the German Constitutional Court, as a crucial institution of government, in comparative perspective.The book is the first full-length English language treatment of these events and constitutional decisions, and it also places the decisions at an important turning-point in German constitutional history.

Young People, Place and Identity

Young People, Place and Identity

Peter E. Hopkins

Routledge
2010
sidottu
Young People, Place and Identity offers a series of rich insights into young people’s everyday lives. What places do young people engage with on a daily basis? How do they use these places? How do their identities influence these contexts? By working through common-sense understandings of young people’s behaviours and the places they occupy, the author seeks to answer these and other questions. In doing so the book challenges and re-shapes understandings of young people’s relationships with different places and identities.The textbook is one of the first books to map out the scales, themes and sites engaged with by young people on a daily basis as they construct their multiple identities. The scales explored here include the body, neighbourhood and community, mobilities and transitions and urban-rural settings and how these all shape and are shaped by young people’s identities. Each chapter explores how social identities (such as race, gender, sexuality, class, disability and religion) are constructed within particular contexts and influenced by multiple processes of inclusion and exclusion. These discussions are supported by details of the research methods and ethical issues involved in researching young people’s lives. Drawing upon research from a range of contexts, including Europe, North America and Australasia, this book demonstrates the complex ways in which young people creatively shape, contest and resist their engagements with different places and identities. The range of issues, topics and case studies explored include: ethical and methodological issues in youth research; youth subcultures; experiences of home; territorialism; youth and crime; political engagement and participation; responses to global issues; engagements with different institutional contexts; negotiating public space; the transition to adulthood; drinking cultures. The author explores these issues through blending together original empirical research, theory and policy.Individual chapters are supported by key themes, project ideas and suggested further reading. Details of key authors, journals and research centres and organisations are also included at the end of the book. This textbook will be pertinent for undergraduate and postgraduate students and academic researchers interested in better understanding the relationships between young people, places and identities.

Vygotsky's Developmental and Educational Psychology

Vygotsky's Developmental and Educational Psychology

Peter E. Langford

Psychology Press Ltd
2013
nidottu
Vygotsky is widely considered one of the most significant and influential psychologists of the twentieth century. Nevertheless, true appreciation of his theories has been hindered by a lack of understanding of the background to his thought. Vygotsky's Developmental and Educational Psychology aims to demonstrate how we can come to a new and original understanding of Vygotsky's theories through knowledge of their cultural, philosophical and historical context. Beginning with the main philosophical influences of Marxist and Hegelian thought, this book leads the reader through Vygotsky's life and the development of his own psychology. Central areas covered include: * The child, the levels and consciousness* Motivation and cognition* The relevance of Vygotsky's theories to current research in developmental psychology. This comprehensive survey of Vygotsky's thought will prove an invaluable resource for those studying developmental psychology or education.

Symmetry Methods for Differential Equations

Symmetry Methods for Differential Equations

Peter E. Hydon

Cambridge University Press
2000
sidottu
Symmetry is the key to solving differential equations. There are many well-known techniques for obtaining exact solutions, but most of them are special cases of a few powerful symmetry methods. Furthermore, these methods can be applied to differential equations of an unfamiliar type; they do not rely on special 'tricks'. Instead, a given differential equation is forced to reveal its symmetries, which are then used to construct exact solutions. This book is a straightforward introduction to the subject, and is aimed at applied mathematicians, physicists, and engineers. The presentation is informal, using many worked examples to illustrate the main symmetry methods. It is written at a level suitable for postgraduates and advanced undergraduates, and is designed to enable the reader to master the main techniques quickly and easily. The book contains methods that have not previously appeared in a text. These include methods for obtaining discrete symmetries and integrating factors.

Difference Equations by Differential Equation Methods

Difference Equations by Differential Equation Methods

Peter E. Hydon

Cambridge University Press
2014
sidottu
Most well-known solution techniques for differential equations exploit symmetry in some form. Systematic methods have been developed for finding and using symmetries, first integrals and conservation laws of a given differential equation. Here the author explains how to extend these powerful methods to difference equations, greatly increasing the range of solvable problems. Beginning with an introduction to elementary solution methods, the book gives readers a clear explanation of exact techniques for ordinary and partial difference equations. The informal presentation is suitable for anyone who is familiar with standard differential equation methods. No prior knowledge of difference equations or symmetry is assumed. The author uses worked examples to help readers grasp new concepts easily. There are 120 exercises of varying difficulty and suggestions for further reading. The book goes to the cutting edge of research; its many new ideas and methods make it a valuable reference for researchers in the field.

Searching for Sanctuary

Searching for Sanctuary

Peter E Yeager

Peter E. Yeager
2023
pokkari
Peter E. Yeager's Searching for Sanctuary: The Journey Home (Poems 1975-2022) has been called "part poetic memoir, part travelogue of the soul." *The poems show the poignancy of loss, the joys of sharing, and reveling in simple wonders. The ordinary and extraordinary events that shape and give meaning to our lives.Poems of family, friendships, marriage, divorce, and remarriage in all their telling particulars. Poems that call you home to what matters.Poems that unlock faith and nature and mark our changing culture. Poems that praise other poets and their poems. These poems invite you to the lakes, the seasons, and random places from a childhood in New Jersey through retirement in Oregon; and finding homes in Omaha, Vermont and Hungary in between. From JFK's assassination through the fall of the Iron Curtain to COVID-19, with emotional honesty, vulnerability, and evocative detail - sometimes quietly meditative and always rich in sense impressions - Yeager proves a worthy wordsmith in poems that "deserve to be read often and read aloud." * * Poets/poetry editors Amy Miller, Patricia Doherty Hinnebusch and Luci Shaw.
