zu einem entscheidenden Erfolgsfaktor. Das Buch widmet sich der zentralen Frage, welche Rolle die Laterale Führung im Kontext der Sozialen Arbeit und des Sozialmanagements spielt. Es führt nicht nur in die theoretischen Grundlagen dieses Führungskonzepts ein, sondern vermittelt auch praxisnahe Handlungsempfehlungen, um Führungskräfte im mittleren Management dabei zu unterstützen, innovative Ansätze zu entwickeln und umzusetzen. Beleuchtet werden im ersten Teil des Buches neben den Grundlagen Lateraler Führung insbesondere die innovationsorientierte Handlungskompetenz von Fach- und Führungskräften in der Sozialen Arbeit bzw. im Sozialmanagement. Der zweite Teil widmet sich der praktischen Anwendung der erarbeiteten Konzepte durch vier Fallstudien aus den Bereichen externe Mitarbeiter(sozial)beratung, Geflüchteten-/Migrationssozialarbeit, klinische Sozialarbeit und Offene Kinder- und Jugendarbeit. Diese realen Beispiele aus der Praxis der Sozialen Arbeit verdeutlichen, wie Laterale Führung und Innovationsmanagement in unterschiedlichen Kontexten erfolgreich umgesetzt werden können. Die Fallstudien bieten nicht nur eine Analyse der Herausforderungen, sondern auch Lösungshinweise und Fragen zur Reflexion, die die Leserinnen und Leser anregen sollen, eigene Erfahrungen und Ansätze zu hinterfragen. Dieses Buch richtet sich an Fachkräfte, Studierende und Interessierte im Bereich der Sozialen Arbeit und des Sozialmanagements, die sich mit den Herausforderungen und Chancen der Lateralen Führung und Innovation auseinandersetzen möchten. Es dient als Leitfaden für die Entwicklung und Erweiterung der eigenen Handlungskompetenz sowie für die Förderung einer individuellen und organisationalen Innovationsfähigkeit in sozialen Dienstleistungsorganisationen.

This book explores the rapidly evolving field of cancer immunotherapy, which focuses on harnessing the immune system's power to combat…
cancer. As traditional treatments like chemotherapy and radiation therapy often have significant side effects and may not be effective for all cancer types, immunotherapy offers a promising alternative. Among the most notable advancements in this field are cell-based therapies, which involve modifying a patient&’s own immune cells or engineering specialized cells to enhance their ability to target cancer. Key approaches include chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy, and dendritic cell (DC)-based therapy. Providing a comprehensive overview of these therapies, this book explores their scientific foundations, recent developments, clinical applications, and associated challenges. It also discusses emerging immunotherapeutic strategies, the commercial landscape, and future research directions. A valuable resource for researchers, clinicians, and industry professionals involved in cancer treatment, this book also serves as an informative reference for students and academics in biology, biotechnology, immunology, and related disciplines seeking a deeper understanding of cancer immunotherapy.

In the Meantime: Toward an Anthropology of the Possible
Par Adeline Masquelier, Deborah Durham. 2025
The “meantime” represents the gap between what is past and the unknown future. When considered as waiting, the meantime is…
defined as a period of suspension to be endured. By contrast, the contributors of this volume understand it as a space of “the possible” where calculation coexists with uncertainty, promises with disappointment, and imminence with deferral. Attending to the temporalities of emerging rather than settled facts, they put the stress on the temporal tactics, social commitments, material connections, dispositional orientations, and affective circuits that emerge in the meantime even in the most desperate times.

Par Elisabeth Hsu. 2025
Based on fieldwork conducted between 2001-2008 in urban East Africa, this book explores who the patients, practitioners and paraprofessionals doing…
Chinese medicine were in this early period of renewed China-Africa relations. Rather than taking recourse to the ‘placebo effect’, the author explains through the spatialities and materialities of the medical procedures provided why - apart from purchasing the Chinese antimalarial called Artemisinin - locals would try out their ‘alternatively modern’ formulas for treating a wide range of post-colonial disorders and seek their sexual enhancement medicines.
Since the 1960s, nations across the “developed world” have been profoundly shaped by deindustrialization. In regions in which previously dominant…
industries faced crises or have disappeared altogether, industrial heritage offers a fascinating window into the phenomenon’s cultural dimensions. As the contributions to this volume demonstrate, even as forms of industrial heritage provide anchors of identity for local populations, their meanings remain deeply contested, as both radical and conservative varieties of nostalgia intermingle with critical approaches and straightforward apologias for a past that was often full of pain, exploitation and struggle.

This book highlights innovative solutions that not only combat climate change but also address energy poverty, ensuring a more sustainable…
and equitable future. It explores common roots, synergies, and trade-offs between energy poverty and climate change. It argues that policies to combat climate change like decarbonization, can negatively impact energy poverty alleviation, whereas policies to reduce energy poverty like increasing energy access, reduction in energy prices, or rise in energy demand, may increase energy-related carbon emission that contributes to climate change.This book meticulously delves into the challenges of providing clean, reliable, and modern energy access to millions of energy-poor people, without creating any negative impact on the environment. It not only provides a comprehensive review of the intricacies of energy poverty and climate change mitigation but also gives a clear understanding of the policy challenges encountered to address the dual problem. Moreover, given the sustainable development goals of attaining SDG7 by 2030 and SDG13 by 2050, the content is timely and significant. Apart from students, this book will be beneficial to academics, working as development economists or energy economists, government policymakers, media personnel covering the climate crisis, and social activists.
