Globale, gesellschaftliche und gesundheitliche Herausforderungen verlangen mittlerweile auch veränderte Rahmenbedingungen in Schulen. Neben einer Überprüfung von ökonomischen, räumlichen, sozialen sowie pädagogischen Voraussetzungen stellt sich die Frage nach zusätzlichen Gesundheitsfachkräften an Bildungseinrichtungen. Das Setting Schule bietet einen niederschwelligen Zugang zu sozialen wie gesundheitsbezogenen Unterstützungsleistungen für Bedarfe von Kindern und Jugendlichen. Was hält Menschen gesund und welche präventiven Strategien sind sinnvoll? Welcher gesundheitsbildende bzw. erzieherische Auftrag wird in Bildungseinrichtungen aktuell erfüllt und wie ist die Gesundheitsversorgung von Lernenden in Schulen derzeit geregelt? Wo liegen die Schwerpunkte in der Schulgesundheitspflege, gestern, heute und in der Zukunft? Inwieweit tragen die aktuellen Lernbedingungen zur Gesundheit und Lernfähigkeit von Kindern bzw. Jugendlichen bei und welche Bildungs- und Gesundheitsstrategien erfüllen die zukünftigen Bedarfe der Gesellschaft? Die Autorin versucht, diese und ähnliche Fragen im Buch zu beantworten.
Plötzlich war ES da. Geschichten aus einer Zeit, in der noch niemand mit dem Virus richtig umzugehen wussten, in der wir langsam daran und damit wuchsen. Und das uns alle veränderte.
In these new essays leading European and North American scholars of medieval medicine focus on manuscripts and their transmission and demonstrate how medievalists in all disciplines can profit by studying the primary medical sources rather than relying on the secondary literature. It is only through the study of actual medical manuscripts that context and audience can be discussed adequately. The lead essay by Bernard Schnell, Prolegomena to a History of Medieval German Medical Literature: The Twelfth Century, clarifies methodological principles for this literary sociology and examines the current state of research in the study of manuscript transmission. The remaining essays discuss either manuscripts by a single author or paradigmatic manuscripts within a single national tradition. Until all the basic sources in medieval texts are uncovered and a survey is made, this volume will stand as an overview of the field.

A revisionist biography of Andreas Vesalius—the father of modern anatomy—as deeply shaped by Renaissance culture. In 1543 the young and ambitious physician Andreas Vesalius published one of the most famous books in the history of medicine, On the Fabric of the Human Body. While we often think of dissection as destroying the body, Vesalius believed that it helped him understand how to construct the human body. In this book, Sachiko Kusukawa shows how Vesalius’s publication emerged from the interplay of Renaissance art, printing technology, and classical tradition. She challenges the conventional view of Vesalius as a proto-modern, anti-authoritarian father of anatomy through a more nuanced account of how Vesalius exploited cultural and technological developments to create a big and beautiful book that propelled him into imperial circles and secured his enduring fame.
Rudolf Arnheim has been known, since the publication of his groundbreaking Art and Visual Perception in 1974, as an authority on the psychological interpretation of the visual arts. Two anniversary volumes celebrate the landmark anniversaries of his works in 2009. In The Power of the Center, Arnheim uses a wealth of examples to consider the factors that determine the overall organization of visual form in works of painting, sculpture, and architecture. The Dynamics of Architectural Form explores the unexpected perceptual consequences of architecture with Arnheim's customary clarity and precision.
