Moving beyond the question of whether an area of scholarly investigation can truly be characterized as 'legal', Exploiting the Limits of Law combats the often unhelpful constraints of law's subject-matter and formal processes. Through a process of reflection on the limits of law and repeated efforts to redraw them, this book challenges the general sense of pessimism among feminists and others about the usefulness of law as an instrument of change. The work combines theoretical analysis of the law's boundaries with investigation of the practical settings for changing legal and policy environments. Both the empirical focus of this volume, and its underlying theoretical concern with the limits of the law and its gender implications, render it of interest to legal scholars throughout the world, whether of EU law, feminism, social policy or philosophy.
Providing an innovative approach to understanding and addressing anti-gender hate speech, this book focuses on its effects on everyday life, how it is handled within legal frameworks, and how it challenges democratic principles.Unlike previous research, which is often limited to currently regulated forms of hate speech, this book is focused on gender-based hate speech, demonstrating its broader social and ideological impacts. By contextualising freedom of expression within democratic values, it offers a new framework for addressing anti-gender hate speech as a threat to both individual dignity and societal diversity. Through this lens, the authors highlight how anti-gender hate speech represents not only a breach of individual rights but also a structural challenge to democracy, requiring responses that reflect these dual dimensions. The book provides a unique contribution to both legal scholarship and democratic theory by rethinking the balance between gender equality and freedom of expression as cooperative as well as inherently contextual and inclusive.Rethinking Online Anti-Gender Hate Speech will be of great interest to students and scholars of Criminology, Law, Media and Communication, Sociology, and Women’s and Gender Studies.An electronic version of this book is freely available, thanks to the support of libraries working with Knowledge Unlatched (KU).

This inspirational memoir chronicles the six-decade quest of packer and outfitter Arnold “Smoke” Elser to protect wild lands by bringing thousands of people deep into the mountains of Montana on horseback. With limited financial means and while still in college, the young man from Ohio decided against a promising career in forestry and chose instead to share his love of wilderness with city dwellers by working as a professional outfitter. Based on hundreds of hours of interviews, Hush of the Land tells the captivating story of Elser’s early days as a packer in the Bob Marshall Wilderness and Bitterroot Mountains. Share the joys and thrills of summer rides, harrowing grizzly bear encounters, fishing in clear mountain streams, and many nights around a campfire within some of the West’s last wild lands. In this lively narrative, Elser recounts how his testimony for the Wilderness Act, and the fight to preserve and expand Montana’s wilderness lands, influenced his career as an outfitter and educator and gave him a voice at the center of Montana’s conservation movement.
The Earth has come a very long way from the molten planet with oceans of magma that existed 4.5 billion years ago. Since then, the land has shifted, the climate has changed and life has flourished. But how exactly did living things come to be? Let real-life scientists Sarah Darwin and Eva Maria Sadowski enlighten you about the fascinating facts of evolution: what it is and how it works. Dive into the history of life on Earth and learn about the theory of natural selection that Sarah’s great-great-grandfather, Charles Darwin, and naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace came up with together. In this beautifully illustrated book, feature spreads explain the important things that you need to know and a timeline plots the history of life on Earth. Budding botanists will be delighted by this in-depth tour of life that leaves no stone unturned and will keep children (and adults) enthralled for hours. Find out how plants, humans, pet dogs and everything else came to be and what this might mean for our future.

Der Umgang mit traumatisierten Kindern und Jugendlichen ist nicht nur Aufgabe von Therapeuten. Er fallt vor allem auch in den Kompetenzbereich padagogischer Fachkrafte, insbesondere von Heil- und Sonderpadagogen. Das Buch vermittelt genuin padagogische Kompetenzen, um diese Kinder besser zu verstehen und durch die Schaffung angemessener Rahmenbedingungen zu fordern. Nach der Lekture des ersten Kapitels verstehen Lehrkrafte und Padagogen, wie ein Trauma entsteht, was es mit Bindung und Bindungsverhalten auf sich hat, vor allem aber wie sich Traumata auf Lernen und Verhalten des Kindes auswirken. Im zweiten Teil geht es um die Rolle des Padagogen im Umgang mit traumatisierten Kindern und Jugendlichen, vor allem in Abgrenzung zur Rolle des Therapeuten. Die Moglichkeiten und Standards des Umgangs mit Traumata in der Schule stehen im Mittelpunkt des dritten Teils. Es geht dabei um forderliche Rahmenbedingungen, aber auch um die Forderung der Kinder und Jugendlichen in verschiedenen Kontexten.
Im Tal der Weißen Elster liegt unterhalb des Oberen Schlosses im thüringischen Greiz der malerische Greizer Park. Etwa 45 Hektar der Auenlandschaft wurden nach Plänen der Gartenkünstler Eduard Petzold und Rudolph Reinecken in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts gestaltet. Einheimische und vor allem exotische Gehölze sind dabei die wesentlichen Elemente der landschaftlichen Parkanlage. In dem Rundgang werden etwa 130 Gehölzarten mit deutschem und lateinischen Namen beschrieben. Zeitgenössische Zitate geben Auskunft über die Verwendung dieser Pflanzen im 19. Jahrhundert. Wundervolle Fotos lassen die Vielfalt an Farben und Formen im Greizer Park zu den unterschiedlichen Jahreszeiten lebendig werden. Darüber hinaus präsentiert das Sommerpalais in seiner außergewöhnlichen Bücher- und Kupferstichsammlung viele botanische Raritäten, die nicht nur Fachleute begeistern. Nicht zuletzt bietet der Greizer Park einen Lebensraum für viele seltene, zum Teil vom Aussterben bedrohte Tier- und Pflanzenarten. Es lohnt sich, diesen Parkführer in die Hand zu nehmen und die Schätze der Pflanzenwelt im Greizer Park zu erkunden.
