Despite the fact that many countries target highly skilled migrants for recruitment in the global labour market, few of those migrants are able to take full advantage of their educational and professional qualifications in their new homes. Work in Transition examines this paradox, using extended narrative interviews that focus on the role that cultural capital plays in the labour market. Comparing the migrant experience in Germany, Canada, and Turkey, Work in Transition shows how migrants develop their cultural capital in order to enter the workforce, as well as how failure to leverage that capital can lead to permanent exclusion from professional positions. Exposing the mechanisms that drive inclusion and exclusion for migrants from a transatlantic comparative perspective, this book provides a unique analytical approach to an increasingly important global issue.

Five writers challenge themselves to write outside their comfort zone. Each chose genres that they either shy away from or never even really read, much less write.When all the keying and editing fell into quiet completion, Creative Chaos was born. A collection of seven stories on such diverse topics as two stories about family pets which are quite dissimilar, aliens, a romantic tryst, a scifi space opera, and others.Kick your shoes off and enjoy five writers who enjoyed the challenge of creating something a bit different...
Among the various Baptist groups that emerged from the religious turmoil of seventeenth-century England, the Particular Baptists proved to be the most influential in terms of long-term legacy. There is a sense in which all English-speaking Baptists, whatever their current theological orientation, can ultimately be traced back to this community. And at the heart of this community were three key leaders: William Kiffen, Hanserd Knollys, and Benjamin Keach. This new edition introduces the lives and thought of each of these men along with their times, other Baptist figures with whom they interacted, and two vital confessions that were published respectively in 1644 and 1688.

Der Wald als Ressource einer Bildung für eine nachhaltige Entwicklung focussiert den Wald nicht nur als Aufenthaltsraum und Motor für gesundes Lernen, sondern stellt ihn als Bildungsanlass von innovativem zukunftsweisendem Lernen in der Schule ins Zentrum. Frank Corleis als Herausgeber und vier Autoren aus ganz unterschiedlichen Fachdisziplinen wie Universität, Schule, Sozialpädagogik und Forstwissenschaft bieten neben theoretischen Grundlagen auch konkrete praktische Möglichkeiten, das Thema Wald im Verständnis einer nachhaltigen Bildung in der Schule umzusetzen. Mit den folgenden Beiträgen werden vielfältige methodische Möglichkeiten und konkrete Praxisbeispiele aufgezeigt, wie das Thema Wald in der Schule in allen Schuljahrgängen und Schulformen im Sinne einer nachhaltigen Bildung verankert werden kann.
A fusion system over a p-group S is a category whose objects form the set of all subgroups of S, whose morphisms are certain injective group homomorphisms, and which satisfies axioms first formulated by Puig that are modelled on conjugacy relations in finite groups. The definition was originally motivated by representation theory, but fusion systems also have applications to local group theory and to homotopy theory. The connection with homotopy theory arises through classifying spaces which can be associated to fusion systems and which have many of the nice properties of p-completed classifying spaces of finite groups. Beginning with a detailed exposition of the foundational material, the authors then proceed to discuss the role of fusion systems in local finite group theory, homotopy theory and modular representation theory. This book serves as a basic reference and as an introduction to the field, particularly for students and other young mathematicians.
The self-portrait of Baccio Bandinelli in the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston, shows the sculptor pointing not to a work of marble or bronze, but to a drawing. Bandinelli was particularly proud of his skills as a draftsman, and he was prolific in his production of works on paper. This set him apart from contemporaries in his profession; many Renaissance sculptors left us no drawings at all. Accompanying an exhibition at the Gardner Museum, this publication will put Bandinelli’s portrait in context by looking at the practice of drawing by sculptors from the Renaissance to the Baroque in Central Italy. A focus of the book will be Bandinelli’s own drawings and the development of his practice across his career and his experimentation with different media. Bandinelli’s drawings will be compared with those of Michelangelo and Cellini. The broader question considered, however, is when, how and why sculptors drew. Every Renaissance sculptor who set out to make a work in metal or stone would first have made a series of preparatory models in wax, clay and/or stucco. Drawing was not an essential practice for sculptors in the way it was for painters, and indeed, most surviving sculptors’ drawings are not preparatory studies for works they subsequently executed in three dimensions. By comparing both rough sketches and more finished drawings with related three-dimensional works by the same artists, the importance of drawing for various individual sculptors will be examined. When sculptors did draw, it often indicated something about the artist’s training or about his ambitions. Among the most accomplished draftsmen were artists like Pollaiuolo, Verrocchio and Cellini, who had come to sculpture by way of goldsmithery, a profession that required proficiency in ornamental design. Artists who sought to become architects, meanwhile – the likes of Michelangelo, Giambologna and Ammanati – similarly needed to learn to draw, since architects had to provide plans, elevations and other drawings to assistants and clients and had to imagine the place of individual figures within a larger multi-media ensemble. Certain kinds of projects, moreover – fountains and tombs, for example – required drawings to a degree that others did not. Sections on the Renaissance goldsmith-sculptor and sculptor-architect will allow comparison of the place drawing had in various artists’ careers. Beginning with a chapter dedicated to the importance of draftsmanship in the education of sculptors, showing works by Finiguerra, Cellini Bandinelli and Giambologna, the book will be split up into chapters dealing with the various challenges sculptors faced while drawing objects in the round, reliefs, and architectural structures. A central section will focus on Bandinelli, demonstrating the importance drawing held for him while he was preparing sculptures and as an independent token of his artistry.
To address the command and control challenges of a future conflict with Russia or China, in which command elements and communications networks could be attacked, the United States Air Force needs to consider how to reorganize its forces so that they can operate in degraded environments. In this report, the authors examine how options for the design of wing-level command and control elements for Air Mobility Command forces can meet such new demands.
The two volumes provide an overview of dynamic and adaptive building components in architecture, a field of growing importance in view of the complex demands placed on today's buildings. The focus is on the following challenges: How can the energy demand of buildings be reduced? How can usage possibilities be expanded? How can dynamic movements in buildings be mapped, absorbed and controlled? The spectrum of designs presented ranges from movable elements for the use of solar energy or dynamic light designs to components that can be swivelled, rotated, folded or flapped. The contributors show innovative solutions from leading architects worldwide.
