Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

November 1938: Der jüdische Kaufmann Richard Graubart wird in seinem Haus von einem Rollkommando der SS ermordet. Seine Familie wird nach Wien ausgewiesen, von dort wird ihr - wie Graubarts Bruder Siegfried, einem führenden Mitglied der zionistischen Bewegung - die Flucht ins Exil gelingen. Auf der anderen Seite: Ein Innsbrucker Hoteliersohn und Schilehrer, als SS-Hauptsturmführer einer der Täter. Nach dem Zusammenbruch des Dritten Reichs vor Gericht gestellt, flieht er ins Ausland. 1959 kehrt er nach Österreich zurück und wird nach nur zweijähriger Haft als freier Mann entlassen. Schnörkellos und leidenschaftlich begibt sich Christoph W. Bauer anhand von Originaldokumenten, Briefen und Archivmaterialien auf eine literarische Spurensuche durch die Lebens- und Leidenswege der Familie Graubart und erzählt damit zugleich zwei exemplarische Geschichten aus der jüngeren Vergangenheit Österreichs: Die Geschichte der Täter und die der Opfer, die durch den Nazi-Terror alles verloren haben: ihre Heimat, ihr Eigentum, ihre Familien - und ihr Leben.

Rural Families and Work

Context and Problems

By: Jean W. Bauer,Elizabeth M. Dolan

Rural Families and Work focuses on the findings of the Rural Families Speak research study and the theoretical frameworks that are utilized to examine the context of rural low-income families’ employment. This volume provides a solid foundation for understanding rural employment problems and issues. Family ecological theory is the central framework with a discussion of theories that contribute to the opportunities for the contextual research, including family economic stress theory, human capital, human capability, and some selected policy frameworks. Employment is addressed through review of policy issues, community contexts, family and social support, and available resources. Throughout the volume future research directions and applications are highlighted.

Genomics and Society

Legal, Ethical and Social Dimensions

By: Martin W. Bauer

The impact of genomics on society has been the focus of debate and conflict across the world. Contrasting views of risks and benefits, trust in science and regulation, the understanding of science, media coverage and mobilization of the public by civil society groups all have been cited as drivers of public opinion. The long running controversy is a signal that the public's view cannot be ignored in the development and implementation of new technologies arising out of genomics such as agricultural biotechnologies, genetic testing and the uses of genetic information, the cloning of human cells and tissues and transgenic animals. Written by a progressive international group of social scientists from Europe, North America and Japan, this volume presents a series of comparative perspectives on the social, ethical and legal implications of genomics. The result is a book which encapsulates the lessons to be learned from the controversies of the 1990s and raises the level of debate on the societal implications of new developments in genomics.

The European Commission of the Twenty-First Century

By: Hussein Kassim,John Peterson,Michael W. Bauer,Sara Connolly,Renaud Dehousse,Liesbet Hooghe,Andrew Thompson

The European Commission is arguably the world's most powerful international administration. It plays a central role in the political system of the European Union. The Commission is a permanent presence in the life of the member states, but its influence is felt far beyond their borders. Viewed historically as the motor of European integration, the Commission is the subject of intense controversy. It is portrayed frequently as technocratic, monolithic, and unaccountable, but also as fragmented and weakly led. According to accepted wisdom, it is populated by career bureaucrats, who want only to expand the competencies of the Union and therefore their own power. This book tests these views. It asks: Who are the people who work for the organization? What are their educational and professional backgrounds? What do officials believe about the role of the Commission in the EU today and whether the Union should have more or less power? What leads them to choose to pursue a career in the Commission, and how do they navigate its complexities? How does the Barroso Commission compare to previous Commissions? How harmonious are relations between cabinets and the services? What has been the impact on the Commission of reform and of the 'big bang' enlargement? Co-authored by an international team of researchers, this book draws on original data from the largest attitudinal survey ever conducted by independent researchers inside the Commission, as well as a structured programme of interviews with senior officials. It provides an authoritative account of the European Commission of the twenty-first century.

Taking the EU to Court

Annulment Proceedings and Multilevel Judicial Conflict

By: Christian Adam,Michael W. Bauer,Miriam Hartlapp,Emmanuelle Mathieu

This open access book provides an exhaustive picture of the role that annulment conflicts play in the EU multilevel system. Based on a rich dataset of annulment actions since the 1960s and a number of in-depth case studies, it explores the political dimension of annulment litigation, which has become an increasingly relevant judicial tool in the struggle over policy content and decision-making competences. The book covers the motivations of actors to turn policy conflicts into annulment actions, the emergence of multilevel actors’ litigant configurations, the impact of actors’ constellations on success in court, as well as the impact of annulment actions on the multilevel policy conflicts they originate from.

The Chromium Isotope System as a Tracer of Ocean and Atmosphere Redox

The Chromium Isotope System as a Tracer of Ocean and Atmosphere Redox

By: Kohen W. Bauer,Noah J. Planavsky,Christopher T. Reinhard,Devon B. Cole

The stable chromium (Cr) isotope system has emerged over the past decade as a new tool to track changes in the amount of oxygen in earth's ocean-atmosphere system. Much of the initial foundation for using Cr isotopes (δ53Cr) as a paleoredox proxy has required recent revision. However, the basic idea behind using Cr isotopes as redox tracers is straightforward—the largest isotope fractionations are redox-dependent and occur during partial reduction of Cr(VI). As such, Cr isotopic signatures can provide novel insights into Cr redox cycling in both marine and terrestrial settings. Critically, the Cr isotope system—unlike many other trace metal proxies—can respond to short-term redox perturbations (e.g., on timescales characteristic of Pleistocene glacial-interglacial cycles). The Cr isotope system can also be used to probe the earth's long-term atmospheric oxygenation, pointing towards low but likely dynamic oxygen levels for the majority of Earth's history.

Atoms, Bytes and Genes

Public Resistance and Techno-Scientific Responses

By: Martin W. Bauer

Atom," "byte" and "gene" are metonymies for techno-scientific developments of the 20th century: nuclear power, computing and genetic engineering. Resistance continues to challenge these developments in public opinion. This book traces historical debates over atoms, bytes and genes which raised controversy with consequences, and argues that public opinion is a factor of the development of modern techno-science. The level and scope of public controversy is an index of resistance, examined here with a "pain analogy" which shows that just as pain impacts movement, resistance impacts techno-scientific mobilization: it signals that something is wrong, and this requires attention, elaboration and a response to the challenge. This analysis shows how different fields of enquiry deal with the resistance of social-psychological mentalities in the face of industrial, scientific and political activities inspired by projected futures.

This radical, provocative and inspiring book explores a tectonicshift at the very heart of business. A shift that?s making the oldbottom line of corporate profitability the servant of a new master:a new ?person-centric? bottom line of personal profitability orvalue ?in my life?. So what? No bottom line? No more profit? Of course not! Every organization must cover its costs. Everybusiness has to make a profit to survive. The authors of The NewGlobal Line remarkably show that the necessary requirements fordoing so are changing, and why this transformation ? containingimportant elements of both evolution and revolution ? is under way,how it?s undermining the foundations of once-great businesses andbrands, and how its throwing up huge new opportunities.

Resistance and the Practice of Rationality

Resistance and the Practice of Rationality

By: Martin W. Bauer,Rom Harré,Carl Jensen

Resistance used to mean irrational and reactionary behaviour, assuming that rationality resides on the side of progress and its parties. The end of the Cold War allows us to drop ideological and prejudicial analysis. Indeed, we recognise that resistance is a historical constant, and its relation to rationality or irrationality is not predetermined. This volume asks: to what extent are social scientific conceptions of ‘resistances’ sui generis, or borrowed from natural sciences by metaphor and analogy? To what extent do the social sciences continue to be a ‘social tribology’ lubricating a process of strategic changes? Fifteen authors explore these questions from the point of view of different disciplines including physics, biology, social psychology, history of science, history of medicine, legal theory, political science, history, police studies, psychotherapy research and art theory. The book offers a unique panorama of concepts of ‘resistance’ and examines the potential of a general ‘resistology’ across diverse practices of rationality.

A Creeping Transformation?

The European Commission and the Management of EU Structural Funds in Germany

By: Michael W. Bauer

How can we approach the Commission's role as co-manager of policy implementation? Why should we expect the Commission to be pulled into domestic policy execution and to accumulate something like an implementation management capacity? How should we conceptualise the Commission's linkage with post-decision management issues? Finally, how does the Commission's involvement in the application of EU policies, if any, significantly change everything? Such questions are answered in this study, which is concerned with what may be called the implementation management capacity of the European Commission. Simply put, this is the role the Commission plays in the implementation of large-scale European spending programmes. While it is true that the Commission's predominant prerogatives are to draft legislation and facilitate bargaining, it also has a role in post-decision policy management. This role is of increasing importance for the emerging governance of the European Union. Readership: social scientists, journalists and all those interested in the role of the European Commission in shaping EU policies.

The Team Effectiveness Survey Workbook

By: Robert W. Bauer,Sandra S. Bauer

Virtually every type and size of organization commits substantial resources to team-based initiatives. While there are many different names applied to these teams (corrective action teams, project teams, quality improvement teams, as well as method-specific teams such as Six Sigma, lean, quality function deployment, strategy deployment teams, and so on.), their purpose is similar: Improve organization quality, performance, productivity, and effectiveness. But the reasons why these team activities and programs sometimes fail aren’t always obvious to team members, leaders, and upper management. This is because there is no system in place to measure what is actually occurring. The Team Effectiveness Survey Workbook helps identify these reasons by teaching readers how to: develop survey objectives; prepare your survey questionnaire; create a survey code structure for summarizing the results; administer the survey; process the survey results; and analyze and feed back the survey results. It contains over 500 different questions divided into 28 categories to help create survey questionnaires to meet the reader’s specific information needs.Throughout the workbook, you will find sample questionnaires, answer sheets, code structures, and more, along with examples and forms to aid in constructing a survey. Also included is a Team Effectiveness Toolkit CD-ROM containing all of the survey questions in their appropriate categories, the sample Team Effectiveness questionnaires, and all of the survey support materials.The workbook has been developed for use by internal and external resource persons/consultants who are responsible for team development/implementation activities, and also team leaders and members involved in team-based initiatives. Contents: Preface Introduction Section One - The Survey Process Section Two - Survey Questions Section Three - Sample Survey Questionnaires Section Four - Survey Support Materials Section Five - Team Effectiveness CD-ROM Toolkit Instructions

Justice

A Problem for Military Ethics During Irregular War

By: John W. Bauer,School of Advanced Military Studies

This monograph directly addresses the problem posed when considering the question 'Who says what right is?' or 'Justice according to whom?' The relative nature of the term 'justice' creates a problem for military ethics, particularly when soldiers try to determine what actions are morally acceptable while engaged in irregular war. This problem prompted a distinct way of thinking about 'justice' to form over the course of history, called the Just War Tradition. However, instead of encouraging ethical reflection, Just War Tradition has today caused military ethics to drift toward legalism. What can stop this slide into strict formalism, where law eclipses ethics? The research conducted for this monograph has led the author to believe that the answer lies in a philosophical current called personalism, which has synthesized the Aristotelian and Kantian positions. Simply stated, personalism promotes empathetic reflection prior to acting. Personalism does this by emphasizing the equal dignity of human beings, an idea that is particularly salient to irregular war. During irregular war, military actions are intended to win over the civilian population. The value, therefore, of adopting a personalist ethic is not only moral, but also pragmatic, guiding irregular warfare closer to success.
