In this volume, nearly forty internationally recognized researchers have come together to celebrate the work of the famous Anatolianist and Indo-Europeanist H. Craig Melchert. The topics range widely, covering not only the grammar and lexicon of Anatolian languages but also Tocharian, Latin, Phrygian, and many others. Some of the essays represent major new contributions to the field that no specialist can afford to overlook. Both long-established scholars such as J. David Hawkins, Anna Morpurgo Davies, Harry A. Hoffner, Jr., Jay Jasanoff, Norbert Oettinger, Calvert Watkins, and the late Roberto Gusmani, as well as younger scholars such as Alexandra Daues, Petra Goedegebuure, Alwin Kloekhorst, Ronald Kim, and Jeremy Rau have contributed the fruits of cutting-edge research in Melchert's honor. A complete bibliography of Melchert's works is included, and the volume closes with a word-index. One colour plate presents a previously unpublished Hieroglyphic Luvian inscription.

The renowned Indologist and Indo-Europeanist Stephanie W. Jamison has now been honoured with this extensive collection of essays by colleagues and students from around the world. The contributors represent a virtual who's-who of Indo-Iranian and Indo-European scholarship and have produced contributions on everything from Vedic (e.g., Joel Brereton, George Cardona, Paul Kiparsky, Thomas Oberlies) to later Sanskrit (e.g. James Fitzgerald, Hans Henrich Hock, Ted Proferes) to Iranian (e.g. Mark Hale, P. Oktor Skjærv to other Indo-European languages (e.g. Dieter Gunkel, Martin Joachim Kummel, Alan Nussbaum, Don Ringe, Michael Weiss). The volume also includes posthumously published articles by Lisi Oliver and Martin West. In all, these scholars have provided a worthy and rich tribute to a scholar whose own rich scholarship has been so vital to numerous subfields of linguistics, literary, religious, and cultural studies.

The popularity of the TED talk has raised the bar for public speaking and presentations. Audiences expect to be educated, inspired and engaged whether they are sitting in a conference room or an auditorium. Yet too often presenters lack the skills to take command and deliver persuasive and entertaining pitches and presentations.The audience is the hero of the story and the presenter is their guide to take them on a journey. Like a one act play, a presentation is not a meeting, it’s a performance. And it is the job of the presenter to respect the audiences’ wishes, wants and needs. With the advent of smartphone, the job of the presenter to keep the audience’s attention on them rather than on the tiny device in their hand has become increasingly more difficult. The purpose of this book is to inspire you to take the next step in your presentation skills and practice.

Go Beyond the Hero's Journey––and Unlock the Real Secret of Writing Successful ScreenplaysHave you ever wondered what it takes to write a great movie script? Studied your favorite films to see what makes them so magical? Beyond the Hero: Relationship Driven Screenwriting and the Secret to Hollywood’s Greatest Scripts is a how-to screenwriting guide built on the foundational idea that great movies—across all genres and styles—are driven by a core relationship between two central characters. Using this fresh alternative to the singular “Hero’s Journey” approach dominating most screenwriting instruction and theory, unlock patterns in the movies we love to reveal a vast gallery of dramatic duos and gain a new perspective on creating your own engrossing, compelling scripts. Beyond the Hero readers will understand that what truly captures the attention and emotion of an audience is the fate of this dramatic couple, with audiences wondering “what will happen to them next?” Through workshop-style lessons and exercises, author and screenwriter Michael Weiss offers step-by-step guidance from brainstorming, outlining, and writing a first draft, to time management and pitching—teaching screenwriters how to craft their own relationship driven screenplays from premise to sale. First-time screenwriters and industry veterans alike will find a new set of useful tools to take their scripts to the next level and create more powerful, Hollywood-ready screenplays.

Hybride Regulierungsinstrumente
Eine Analyse rechtlicher, faktischer und extraterritorialer Wirkungen nationaler Corporate-Governance-Kodizes
Häftad, Tyska, 2011
988 kr
Tillfälligt slut
Die durch große Unternehmenskrisen ausgelöste Diskussion um Fragen guter Unternehmensführung hat zu Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts weltweit zur Herausbildung von Corporate-Governance-Kodizes auf unterschiedlichen Ebenen geführt. Ausgehend vom Deutschen Corporate-Governance-Kodex untersucht Michael Weiß die rechtlichen und faktischen Wirkungen nationaler Corporate-Governance-Kodizes. Er ordnet sie als "Hybride Regulierungsinstrumente" ein, die sich wie eine "atmende Größe" im Spannungsfeld zwischen staatlicher Regulierung und privater Selbstverpflichtung bewegen und je nach dem, wie stark die Rolle des Staates bei der Erstellung und Überwachung des jeweiligen Kodexes ist, als staatliche oder private Maßnahme zu qualifizieren sind. Darüber hinaus entwickelt der Autor Ansätze zur Lösung extraterritorialer Konflikte im Zusammenhang mit derartigen Hybriden Regulierungsinstrumenten.

Language and Ritual in Sabellic Italy
The Ritual Complex of the Third and the Fourth Tabulae Iguvinae
Inbunden, Engelska, 2009

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
The Iguvine Tables (Tabulae Iguvinae) are among the most invaluable documents of Italic linguistics and religion. Seven bronze tablets discovered in 1444 in the Umbrian town of Gubbio (ancient Iguvium), they record the rites and sacral laws of a priestly brotherhood, the Fratres Atiedii, with a degree of detail unparalleled elsewhere in ancient Italy. Taking an interdisciplinary approach that combines philological and linguistic, as well as ritual analysis, Michael Weiss not only addresses the many interpretive cruces that have puzzled scholars for a century and a half, but also constructs a coherent theory of the entire ritual performance described on Tables III and IV. In addition, Weiss sheds light on many questions of Roman ritual practice and places the Iguvine Tables in their broader Italic and Indo-European contexts.

Tocharian B, an Indo-European language spoken and written in the first millennium C.E. in parts of what is now the Tarim Basin of western China, is of great importance to numerous disciplines, from Indo-European historical linguistics to the study of Central Asia, the Silk Road and Buddhism.This first-ever textbook in the language makes Tocharian B, hitherto familiar mostly to specialists, readily accessible to a broad audience. In twenty graduated lessons, the student is introduced to all the language's grammar, with translation exercises between English and Tocharian in both directions and numerous passages taken from original texts. The book assumes no familiarity with the scholarly disciplines above, but simultaneously contains much information useful to specialists by virtue of the author's broad knowledge and familiarity with the most up-to-date literature. A full glossary, together with tables of declensions and conjugations, key to the exercises, and bibliography round out the volume.The Tocharian B texts that Weiss uses as the basis for his grammar date from the 5th to 10th centuries, but were not discovered until the early 1900s. Many of them are Buddhist religious texts, but other documents include caravan passes from the Silk Road, economic documents from Buddhist monasteries and a famous love poem.The language is now extinct, with scholars surmising that it was eventually supplanted by the Uyghur language. It is important linguistically because, as a separate branch of the Indo-European family, it contributes unique evidence to scholars’ understanding about what the ancestor language would have been like. It is also important culturally because the Tocharians were probably one of the main vectors of the transfer of Buddhism from India to China..
