Community Resources

Intellectual Property, International Trade and Protection of Traditional Knowledge

By: Johanna Gibson

Protection of traditional knowledge and resources is of critical concern not only to the groups involved but also to the international trading community for which these resources are of increasing economic importance. This work examines the concept of 'community', intellectual property models and additional sources for protection at international law (including environmental and human rights frameworks). Intellectual property law is critiqued as an inadequate framework to address the fundamental object of protection for the communities themselves - the management of traditional use, as well as the biological and cultural sustainability of this use. The work sets out an international framework based on the concept of 'community resources', recognizing the unique claims embodied in traditional knowledge, incorporating customary law, and facilitating community management of resources. International in perspective and scope, the book will be a valuable resource for academics and researchers in law, international relations and cultural studies.

Now That You're Pregnant

By: Louise Edeiken,Johanna Antar

One symptom of pregnancy is that one does not remember all the important things pregnancy, childbirth, and the post-partum period require. Now That You're Pregnant is the answer to all of us who might otherwise be overwhelmed by the new demands a pregnancy requires. Having all the vital reminders and information in one book is a wonderful way to manage and organize this exciting period in one's life." —Elisabeth Bing, FACCE, Co-founder of ASPO/Lamaze "Month by month, everything you need to ask or think about during your pregnancy. It's all here in one very organized place!" —Susan Strecker, Editor in Chief, Baby Talk magazine So you're pregnant! Congratulations! This is a wonderful and exciting time in your life, but one that requires that you make many decisions and keep track of an unbelievable amount of information. Now That You're Pregnant will serve as a valuable reminder of what has to be done and an all-in-one-place record of what you've already decided and what you still have to do. Now That You're Pregnant covers everything, including things like: choosing an obstetrician and pediatrician deciding where to have the baby (hospital, birthing center, or home?) finding a safe exercise program assembling the layette and has plenty of space for writing things down, whether it be all the items you've borrowed from family and friends or whom you need to send birth announcements to. Don't be scrambling for information you "put somewhere" or be faced with decisions you should have made months ago—let Now That You're Pregnant be your constant companion.

Sunnitischer Tafsīr in der modernen islamischen Welt

Akademische Traditionen, Popularisierung und nationalstaatliche Interessen

By: Johanna Pink

Previous scholarship on recent Muslim Qurʾanic exegesis has mostly focussed on modernising trends, usually remaining within the confines of a single language area. Transcending this hitherto dominating narrow focus, this book offers a comparative analysis of a body of contemporary Sunnite Qurʾanic commentaries from the Arab World, Indonesia and Turkey. It takes into account both the influence of specific local conditions and the common intellectual heritage they rely on. By paying special attention not only to new developments, but also to the embeddedness of contemporary Qurʾanic exegesis into a more than thousand-year-old intellectual tradition, it provides new insights into the religious, academic, political and social context of exegetical practice in the modern Islamic World. Die Forschung zur neueren muslimischen Koranexegese hat sich bislang weitgehend auf modernisierende Trends konzentriert und sich dabei zumeist innerhalb der Grenzen eines Sprachraums bewegt. Das vorliegende Buch bricht diesen verengenden Fokus auf, indem es einen Korpus von zeitgenössischen sunnitischen Korankommentaren aus der arabischen Welt, Indonesien und der Türkei vergleichend untersucht und der Frage nach ihrer Prägung durch spezifische lokale Bedingungen ebenso nachgeht wie der Analyse des gemeinsamen geistigen Erbes, auf das sie sich stützen. Indem es neben neueren exegetischen Entwicklungen der Einbettung zeitgenössischer Koranexegese in eine mehr als tausend Jahre alte ideengeschichtliche Tradition besondere Aufmerksamkeit widmet, liefert es neue Erkenntnisse über den religiösen, akademischen, politischen und gesellschaftlichen Kontext exegetischer Tätigkeit in der modernen islamischen Welt.
