Every day, over a million images are uploaded to flickr. This is a striking example of the so-called »flood« of images that emerged with the beginning of the digital age. A generation of adolescents has already been socialised with this flood of images and deals with it on a daily basis, both in their networks and elsewhere. Art education thus faces significant challenges: art is the only school subject that deals with the problems inherent in images as images, making them the focus of pedagogic activity. This volume presents both the foundations for engaging with the phenomenon of the »image« in a competent and historically informed manner as well as the perspectives for art education t...
This book analyzes how climate change adaptation can be implemented at the community, regional and national level. Featuring a variety of case studies, it illustrates strategies, initiatives and projects currently being implemented across the world. In addition to the challenges faced by communities, cities and regions seeking to cope with climate change phenomena like floods, droughts and other extreme events, the respective chapters cover topics such as the adaptive capacities of water management organizations, biodiversity conservation, and indigenous and climate change adaptation strategies. The book will appeal to a broad readership, from scholars to policymakers, interested in developing strategies for effectively addressing the impacts of climate change.
This book reviews the concept, contemporary research efforts and the implementation of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM). The IWRM concept was established as an international guiding water management paradigm in the early 1990ies and has become a vital approach to solving the problems associated with the topic of water. The book summarizes fourteen comprehensive IWRM research projects with worldwide coverage and analyses their motivations, settings, approaches and implementation of results. Aiming to be an up-to-date interdisciplinary scientific reference, this book provides a comprehensive theoretical and empirical analysis of contemporary IWRM research, examples of science based implementations and a synthesis of the lessons learnt. It concludes with some major future challenges, the solving of which will further strengthen the IWRM concept.

Der Fußball ist in Deutschland und in vielen weiteren Ländern weltweit eine omnipräsente Lebensrealität und begeistert zahlreiche Menschen jeden Alters und Geschlechts leidenschaftlich. Insofern ist er ein höchstbedeutsamer theologischer Analysegegenstand. Denn das, was Menschen bewegt, muss Gegenstand der Pastoral sein (vgl. Gaudium et spes 1). Deshalb werden Fußball und Pastoral in diesem Band in ein produktives Spannungsverhältnis gebracht - nicht im Sinne einer unzulässigen Vermischung der beiden Felder (Fußball ist keine Religion!), sondern im Sinne der Qualifikation des Fußballs als einem pastoral-theologischen Lernfeld, das jede Menge kreatives Potential für die Pastoral bereit hält. Der Band bleibt nicht bei den weit verbreiteten Vergleichen von Liturgie und Fußball hängen (so richtig diese phänomenologisch sein mögen), sondern stellt diesen tatsächlich in einer ganz eigenen Perspektive als pastoralen Lernort dar.
Fußball-Fans »pilgern« in die »Fußball-Tempel«, zum »heiligen Rasen«, um ihren »Idolen« zu huldigen und für ein »Fußball-Wunder« zu »beten«. – Was steckt hinter den RedewendungenWorin besteht die spezielle Verbindung zwischen Fußball und Religion? Spannende Fragen – gerade im Jahr der Fußball-WM.Ob »Fußball-Gott« Toni Turek 1954 oder Diego Maradona, der 1986 die »Hand Gottes« für sein WM-Tor bemühte: Die Bezüge zwischen Fußball und Religion sind zahlreich. In der Unterrichtseinheit wird diesen Fragen nachgegangen, wobei u.a. die Funktion von Mythen und Ritualen im Erleben der Fans, die Religiosität der Akteure selbst sowie die Berichterstattung der Medien in d...
