Eigenheim, Hochzeit, beruflicher Erfolg, Kinder - und bitte alles noch in deinen 30ern! So lautet die heteronormative Mustervorlage fürs gute Leben. Weichen insbesondere Frauen davon ab, bekommen sie es mit Erzählungen über abgefahrene Züge, tickende Uhren und verpasste Chancen zu tun. Kurz gesagt: Mach-mal-hinne-Belehrungen auf allen Ebenen. Wie sehr das unter Druck setzen und die mentale Gesundheit angreifen kann, hat Autorin Jennifer Klinge selbst erlebt. In Auch gut! erzählt sie von ihrem Weg voller Hürden und erfolgreichen Strategien, um sich von Erwartungen zu lösen - mit interessanten Facts übers patriarchal konstruierte Frausein und mit Interviews von Frauen, die fernab der Blaupause ein spannendes Leben führen und einfach fabelhaft inspirieren. Ein rundum ehrliches und sehr persönliches Buch, das zeigt: Selbstdefinierte Meilensteine und Lust aufs eigene Timing können einfach auch gut sein!

This practical yet cutting-edge Handbook includes both established and innovative methods for studying identity in management, organisations, and cognate fields. Incorporating a breadth of narrative, visual, ethnographic and embodied methods, as well as ways for analysing naturally occurring data, this Handbook offers exciting new interdisciplinary perspectives on the study of identity in and around organisations.Notions of identity have gained much momentum in organisation and management studies over the past 20 years, however, identity scholars tend to rely on a limited set of methods in their research. Looking beyond narrow disciplinary boundaries, the Handbook draws on ideas from management studies, anthropology, sociology, psychology, and the arts. With cutting-edge methods on the various facets and dynamics of identity, it is integral reading for the future progress of reflexive and dialogical social constructions for studying identity.This refreshing Handbook will be valuable to scholars and students from a variety of disciplines including business and management, psychology and sociology, but with a common interest in studying identity in and around organisations. With consistent practical methodology, consultants, facilitators and management practitioners, who aim to develop identities among individuals, groups, and organisations will also benefit widely from this

"This comparative book explores the dynamics driving how courts across Europe and beyond understand and analyse scientific information in nature conservation. The Habitats and the Birds Directive-the core of EU nature conservation law-are usually seen as the most 'uniform' parts of EU environmental law. This book analyses the case law from 11 EU current and former Member States' courts and explores the dynamics of how, and crucially why, their understandings of scientific uncertainty on the one hand, and EU environmental principles on the other, vary. The courts' scope and depth of review, access to scientific knowledge, and scientific literacy all influence such decisions-as does their interpretation of norms and principles. How have the courts evaluated scientific evidence, encompassing its essential uncertainties? This book answers this and many more questions pertinent to EU environmental law, comparative environmental law, administrative law, and STS studies. Co-edited by experienced leaders in the field, and with outstanding contributors, this book is an essential guide to the dynamics of nature conservation law."--

""Charles Binaggio and his underboss, Charles Gargotta, rose through poverty in Missouri to eventually lead the Kansas City mob. In the 1930s and 40s, their control extended from local police and businessmen all the way to the White House. The two men died together in an unsolved 1950 double murder in downtown Kansas City. This work offers a unique take on the stories of the two Charlies, with first-hand accounts from those who worked for the gangsters as well as those who felt their wrath. In addition to their violence and corruption, it also reveals the two mobsters' private lives with their wives and children, and describes their inner political connections both within Kansas City and inside Harry S. Truman's administration."-Provided by publisher"--
