Wie verhalten sich Quantenphysik und Esoterik zueinander? Lisa Jane Klotz zeigt, wie Quantenphysik in der Esoterik kommunikativ eingesetzt wird, um Geltungsansprüche zu legitimieren und zu plausibilisieren. Ihre Untersuchungen zu theoretischen und Experimentalphysikern erschließen darüber hinaus, dass sich die Bereiche Quantenphysik und Esoterik näher sind als gemeinhin angenommen. Der empirische Vergleich zweier so unterschiedlicher Systeme sagt ebenso viel über die divergente Alltagspraxis wie über ihre frappierende Ähnlichkeit auf systemtheoretischer Ebene aus - mit dem Ergebnis einer Erweiterung der Systemtheorie.

The aim of this book is to analyse and reflect on the effect of femininities in the field and the encountered biases specific to women researchers in tourism studies. The purpose of the book is to define potential areas of gender bias using international case studies from five continents to improve the validity and transparency of future research conducted by researchers in transcultural contexts. It covers broad themes including access, attire and conduct, sexual harassment, personal safety, and accompanied research and well-being. The volume provides case studies using reflexivity to create baselines for comparison for female (and male) researchers doing fieldwork and outlines potential areas of concern for supervisors through a transdisciplinary approach in a global context. It is an essential guide for supervisors, students, ethics committee members and any researchers.

A geographer with extensive research experience in the Canadian North, Jack D. Ives has written a lively and informative account of several expeditions to Baffin Island during the "golden age" of federal research. In the 1960s, scientists from the Geographical Branch of Canada's Department of Energy, Mines, and Resources travelled to Baffin to study glacial geomorphology and glaciology. Their fieldwork resulted in vastly increased knowledge of the Far North-from its ice caps and glaciers to its lichens and microfossils. Drawing from the recollections of his Baffin colleagues as well as from his own memories, Ives takes readers on a remarkable adventure, describing the day-to-day experiences of the field teams in the context of both contemporary Arctic research and bureaucratic decision making. Along the way, his narrative illustrates the role played by the Cold War-era Distant Early Warning Line and other northern infrastructure, the crucial importance of his pioneering aerial photography, the unpredictable nature of planes, helicopters, and radios in Arctic regions, and of course, the vast and breathtaking scenery of the North.Baffin Island encompasses both field research and High Arctic adventure. The research trips to Baffin between 1961 and 1967 also served as a vital training ground in polar studies for university students; further, they represented a breakthrough in gender equality in government-sponsored science, thanks to the author's persistence in having women permitted on the teams. The book contains a special section detailing the subsequent professional achievements of the many researchers involved (in addition to the later career moves of Ives himself) and a chapter that delves deeper into the science behind their fieldwork in the North. Readers need not be versed in glaciology, however. Ives has produced a highly readable book that seamlessly combines research and adventure.

The scientific monograph ('A Written Record of Live Storytelling') brings the basic theory and methodological procedures for field documentation, transcription and research of narrative folklore. It addresses threeContext, Texture and Transcoding of Stories Told Live by Tina Kravanja from Bavšica” brings the basic theory and methodological procedures for field documentation, transcription and research of narrative folklore. It addresses three levels of a folklore event – context, texture, and text – in the narration of folklore stories. Each level, especially context, is further enhanced with the theoretical findings derived from the author's own field work, e.g. defining storytelling meeting as alternation of stories, told in more artistic expression, and of linking texts told in an everyday. Linking texts are important cohesive ties of storytelling event as whole. The book also deals with defining of six roles of the participants who influence the course of storytelling event, etc. The monograph also attempts to solve the problem of putting down oral stories onto paper. To preserve as much information as possible, it proposes transcription as well as transcoding with the help of accurate phonetic transcription, concurrent notes on the texture, and a description of the context. The methods are explained with the phonetic transcription of 22 stories told by Tina Kravanja from Bavšica during a single field visit. S problematiko konteksta in teksture različnih pojavnih oblik folklore, tudi slovstvene, se v zadnjih desetletjih z najrazličnejših zornih kotov ukvarjajo številni folkloristi. Splošna problematika v folkloristiki ni nova, nova in enkratna pa je vsaka terenska raziskava, ki preuči neko živo in neponovljivo situacijo z enkratnim prepletom notranjih in zunanjih vplivov na pripovedovanje. Študija je zasnovana na konkretnem gradivu: predstavlja predvsem probleme, opažanja in interpretacije, ki izhajajo iz terenskega in kabinetnega dela pri obravnavi procesa pripovedovanja z vidika konteksta in teksture ter prekodiranja žive situacije v različne oblike zapisa. Kot gradivo je obdelan proces pripovedovanja Tine Kravanja iz Bavšice, tj. niz 22 pripovedi, ki so se zvrstile pri enem terenskem obisku.
