Wirtschaftskriminalit t existiert, seit es Unternehmen gibt. Sie erreicht besonders in Zeiten wirtschaftlichen Abschwungs neue Dimensionen. Kaum ein Tag vergeht, an dem in der Presse nicht dar ber berichtet wird. Dabei wurde bereits 2002 ein bisher einzigartiges Gesetz im Kampf gegen Wirtschaftskriminalit t verabschiedet: Der Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX). Vorangegangen war eine Serie von Bilanzskandalen au ergew hnlichen Ausma es. Das einst siebtgr te Unternehmen der USA, Enron Corporation, ging aufgrund einer Aneinanderreihung von T uschungen und Manipulationen genau wie die ehemals zweitgr te Telefongesellschaft der USA, WorldCom Corporation, zu Grunde.

Diese Abhandlung beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, was Wirtschaftskriminalität überhaupt ist, welche Erscheinungsformen es gibt und wie sich diese im Finanzsektor wiederspiegeln. Wer sind die Profiteure und die geschädigten des sogenannten White Collar Crime? Dabei stellt sich die Frage, welche Möglichkeiten der Eindämmung und der strafrechtlichen Verfolgung die verschiedenen Kontroll- und Überwachungsinstanzen haben? Was kann dagegen getan werden, um Marktmanipulationen zu verhindern? Besonderes Augenmerk wurde dabei auf den Insiderhandel in seinen verschiedensten Formen gelegt. Im zweiten Teil werden die Elemente des Wirtschaftsrechts genauer unter die Lupe genommen. Dabei wurde versucht zu definieren, was ein Delikt im strafrechtlichem Sinne ist und welche Arten es von Tätern gibt. Im letzten Teil konzentrieren wir uns auf die Präventions- und Bekämpfungsmöglichkeiten doloser, unerlaubter Handlungen, die im Finanzsektor an der Tagesordnung sind und vom dem nur ein Bruchteil aufgedeckt werden kann. Obwohl dieses Buch keine Lösungsvorschläge beinhaltet, wird durch ein kurzes Fazit dargelegt, wie sich aktuelle Situation darstellt und ein Blick in die Zukunft gewagt.
This scholarly work creates a new epoch in traditional occult philosophy. It is the first contemporary encyclopedic exposition of the great Western Tradition since the basic books by Eliphas Lvi and Papus, and it also has full practical utility. The Philosophical Tarot has always been recognized as a universal key to all wisdom attainable by human beings. This text will be of particular interest, because of its kindred approach, to the many readers of the extraordinary contemporary masterpiece Meditations on the Tarot, by an anonymous writer much valued in esoteric circles throughout the world. The present work is by no means just a theoretical treatise accessible only to specialists, for anyone can understand the initiatory concepts of Mouni Sadhu's Tarot, perceiving completely new horizons of thought, activity, psychology, cosmology, and practical esotericism. In this text a great number of questions which occur to the earnest seeker are answered in a new and fascinating way, and the solution of the philosophical equations arising from the Arcana opens new vistas in every field of life. The book is suitably subdivided into 100 separate lessons, allowing for systematic study.

A collection of essays by the art historian Aby Warburg, these essays look beyond iconography to more psychological aspects of artistic creation: the conditions under which art was practised; its social and cultural contexts; and its conceivable historical meaning.
In the ancient world, terracotta sculpture was ubiquitous. Readily available and economical—unlike stone suitable for carving—clay allowed artisans to craft figures of remarkable variety and expressiveness. Terracottas from South Italy and Sicily attest to the prolific coroplastic workshops that supplied sacred and decorative images for sanctuaries, settlements, and cemeteries. Sixty terracottas are investigated here by noted scholar Maria Lucia Ferruzza, comprising a selection of significant types from the Getty’s larger collection—life-size sculptures, statuettes, heads and busts, altars, and decorative appliqués. In addition to the comprehensive catalogue entries, the publication includes a guide to the full collection of over one thousand other figurines and molds from the region by Getty curator of antiquities Claire L. Lyons. Reflecting the Getty's commitment to open content, Ancient Terracottas from South Italy and Sicily in the J. Paul Getty Museum is available online at www.getty.edu/publications/terracottas and may be downloaded for free.
