Despite the repression, violence, and social hardship which characterised Spanish life in the 1940s and 1950s, the Franco regime sought to win popular support by promoting its apparent commitment to social justice. David Brydan reveals the vital role which the idea of the Francoist 'social state' also played in the regime's ongoing search for international legitimacy. Using research from eighteen archives across six countries, Brydan shows how social experts, particularly those working in the fields of public health, medicine, and social insurance, were at the forefront of efforts to promote the regime abroad. By working with international organisations in Geneva, Paris, and New York and with transnational networks of colleagues across Europe, Africa, and Latin America, they sought to sell the idea of Franco's Spain as a respectable, modern, and socially-just state. They were internationalists, but they were Franco's internationalists. In telling this story, t...

Im Zentrum des Arbeitsheftes (4. Auflage 2018) stehen die Fertigungs- bzw. Leistungserstellungsverfahren eines Industriebetriebes unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Kostenstruktur. Das Heft folgt dabei dem didaktisch-methodischen Ansatz der "Beschaffungsprozesse", d.h., dass die entsprechenden Kernprozesse in Form von Lernsituationen von den Schülerinnen und Schülern handlungsorientiert erarbeitet werden. Die insgesamt 23 Lernsituationen werden durch Informationsmaterial gestützt. Die formulierten Arbeitsaufträge zeichnen sich einerseits durch einen Freiraum spendenden Methodenpluralismus aus, gewährleisten andererseits aber auch den unverzichtbaren Prüfungsbezug. Neu in der 4. Auflage Das Arbeitsheft wurde um zwei weitere Lernsituationen ergänzt ("Rechnergestützte Fertigung" und "Statische Investitionsrechnung"). Die Texte und Schaubilder wurden durchgehend überarbeitet und aktualisiert. Zudem wurden die Fragestellungen auf Operatoren umgestellt. ...

Most books and courses in ecology cover facts and concepts but don't explain how to actually do ecological research. How to Do Ecology provides nuts-and-bolts advice on organizing and conducting a successful research program. This one-of-a-kind book explains how to choose a research question and answer it through manipulative experiments and systematic observations. Because science is a social endeavor, the book provides strategies for working with other people, including professors and collaborators. It suggests effective ways to communicate your findings in the form of journal articles, oral presentations, posters, and grant and research proposals. The book also includes ideas to help you identify your goals, organize a season of fieldwork, and deal with negative results. In short, it makes explicit many of the unspoken assumptions behind doing good research in ecology and provides an invaluable resource for meaningful conversations between ecologists. This second edition of How ...
