Rekonstruktive Forschung im und zum Lehramtsstudium (Rekonstruktive Bildungsforschung #47)
by Julia Labede Bettina Lindmeier Andreas WernetFallrekonstruktives Arbeiten ist aus der Lehrer:innenbildung kaum mehr wegzudenken. Einerseits werden kasuistisch ausgerichtete Seminare angeboten, die Studierenden die Chance geben sollen, schulische und gesellschaftliche ‚Selbstverständlichkeiten‘ zu hinterfragen und wissenschaftlich zu reflektieren. Andererseits ist das Lehramtsstudium selbst zum Gegenstand qualitativ-rekonstruktiver Forschung geworden. In dem interdisziplinär angelegten Sammelband wird nach den Besonderheiten des Lehramtsstudiums sowie dem Beitrag qualitativ rekonstruktiver Forschung zur Lehrer:innenbildung gefragt.
War and the World Economy: Trade, Tech and Military Conflicts in a De-globalising World (Palgrave Insights into Apocalypse Economics)
by William JefferiesThis book offers a deep-dive analysis of the period of globalization from the late 1980s to the present through the lens of long wave theory. It traces how the end of the Cold War transformed the base of the global economy, doubling the working-class producing profits, and its superstructure, reestablishing US monopolar dominance. It explores how the &‘hyper-globalization&’ of the period up to 2008 has transitioned into a new long wave of de-globalization, stagnation and multi-polar conflict. The book focuses particularly on the looming and actual wars – in trade, tech, and military terms –intertwined with world economics as the twenty-first century progresses. The book addresses three overarching themes: globalization versus de-globalization, great power conflict versus cooperation, and trade/tech integration versus competition. It examines the shift from stagnating conditions in the late 1970s to the resurgent hyper-global capitalism of the 2000s after the integration of the former Centrally Planned Economies (CPEs) into the world market, leading to, but not ending with, the 2008 Great Financial Recession. Globalization is analysed in depth at both a national and global level, with insights on the diverging paths of US and China forming a central focus of the chapters. The book provides a comparative analysis of US and Chinese economic development and discusses how globalization inevitably produced de-globalization: reversing trends towards the integration of production, trade and finance that have defined the world economy over the last three decades. This book will be of interest to scholars and students in areas including political economy, macroeconomics, war studies, international relations and more.

Nothin' Comes Easy: The Life of Rodney Dangerfield
by Michael Seth StarrThe first-ever biography of the legendary comic and the most improbable rise to fame in the history of American comedy. Getting there wasn&’t always a laughing matter. Rodney Dangerfield&’s fidgety delivery, self-deprecating humor, and catchphrase &“I don&’t get no respect&” made him a comedy icon in nightclubs, on television, and in movies. But Rodney&’s long road to stardom was as rocky as his real life. Born Jacob Cohen in 1921 to a coldhearted mother and absentee father, anxiety-prone Jacob found escape from reality by writing and performing jokes. It led to ten years going nowhere in the &“toilets&” of the club circuit. What followed was marriage, fatherhood, selling aluminum siding, and depression, self-doubt, and debt. That&’s when he decided to give comedy one last shot . . . Back in the clubs and thanks to a fortuitous prime-time set on The Ed Sullivan Show, at the age of 45, the newly christened Rodney Dangerfield was an &“overnight&” success. It was the greatest second act in the history of show business. Rodney mined his insecurities, personal and professional setbacks, and dismal childhood into comedy gold on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, The Dean Martin Show, The Joey Bishop Show, The Merv Griffin, and The Mike Douglas Show. A generation of new fans discovered him in a string of hit comedies, including Caddyshack, Easy Money, Back to School—he even popped up in Oliver Stone&’s Natural Born Killers. And behind that iconic comedy persona was a caring, compassionate man who took in a hard-luck friend for the rest of his life; a dedicated father who almost single-handedly raised two children; and a selfless and supportive mentor to such up-and-comers as Jerry Seinfeld, Jim Carrey, and George Carlin. Nobody didn&’t love him. An honest, moving, and funny portrait of the real Rodney Dangerfield, Nothin&’ Comes Easy gives the legend, the man, the father, and the friend all the respect he deserves.

This coastal haven is in attorney Rae Alden&’s blood, and the resort&’s expansion is encroaching on precious Fortunate Harbor. For Rae and the old-town families she represents, their generations-old heritage is not for sale for all the money in the world. Who&’d have guessed that the ordeal would tie Rae to Curtis, a childhood sweetheart whose family tragedy once converged, fatefully, with her own past? The landgrab is reuniting them in more ways than one. Because the property is more valuable than even Rae believed. The proof is in a secret deed and a long-lost map to a bona fide buried treasure.
