The Wall and the Bridge
An informed argument for an economic policy based on bridges of preparation and adaptation rather than walls of protection and exclusion “When technological change and globalization in recent decades brought frustration over the resulting losses to jobs and communities, there were no guardrails to get these workers back on track. As this compelling book shows, our nation is going to need bridges to help people get through the unavoidable transformations.”—Edmund Phelps, 2006 Nobel Laureate in Economics and author of Mass Flourishing Free-market economists often have noted that there are winners and losers in a competitive capitalist world. The question of how to deal with the difficult...

Über welche Zeitspanne beeinflussen Armut bzw. Reichtum die Lebenszufriedenheit? Bestehen Wechselwirkungen in diesem Zusammenhang?

52 Ways to Walk
'Fascinating ... Connected both to old wisdom and new scientific frontiers of discovery' Lauren Laverne ________________________ 'We can all learn something from 52 Ways to Walk. I know I can.' Michael Ball, BBC Radio 2 ________________________ Walking strengthens our bodies, calms our minds and lifts our spirits. But it does so much more than this. Our vision, hearing, respiration, sleep, cognition, memory, blood pressure, sense of smell and balance are all enhanced by how we walk. For instance: · Walking in cold weather burns extra fat and builds more muscle. · Walking alone strengthens our memories. · Walking in woodland helps us sleep. · And there's nothing more restorative than a ro...
Ethik des assistierten Suizids
Über das eigene Lebensende autonom bestimmen zu können, ist der Wunsch vieler Menschen. Höchste Gerichte in Deutschland und Österreich erkennen das Recht auf assistierten Suizid als eine Form des selbstbestimmten Sterbens an. In der Schweiz tragen Sterbehilfeorganisationen zu einer breiteren Akzeptanz bei. Wie aber ist die Suizidhilfe ethisch zu rechtfertigen? Und wie soll die emergente Praxis geregelt und gelebt werden? Die Beiträger*innen widmen sich diesen Fragen aus interdisziplinärer Perspektive. Sie beleuchten dabei vor allem das Problem der Freiverantwortlichkeit eines Suizidwunschs sowie neu entstehende Vulnerabilitäten und analysieren so die soziokulturellen Herausforderungen für eine gute Versorgung am Lebensende.
Sul camminare
Tra scienza, esperienza personale e ricerca, Sul camminare è una guida alle infinite possibilità del muoversi.Scegliendo 52 esempi, idealmente uno a settimana, Annabel Streets scopre con il lettore cosa succede a corpo, mente e spirito se i piedi si mettono in moto. Incamminarsi nel fango stimola la serotonina, affrontare il vento accelera il metabolismo, passeggiare con un animale domestico accresce l’autostima, e questi sono solo alcuni dei tanti benefici che ogni camminata, sia essa veloce, in solitaria, lungo un fiume, a piedi nudi o in salita, porta con sé.I 52 capitoli si trasformano in altrettanti suggerimenti per ritrovare una nuova consapevolezza sul movimento perché quasi tutto, a quanto pare, può essere migliorato e potenziato camminando in modo intelligente e consapevole, e perché si può ottenere di più dalla vita, facendo un passo alla volta.Se camminare aggiunge molto alle nostre vite, questo libro aggiunge molto al camminare.

10 Jahre Deutschlandstipendium – 10 Jahre Hochschulfundraising und Stipendienkultur in Deutschland
Vor zehn Jahren war Hochschulfundraising in Deutschland noch ein Thema für wenige Hochschulen. Philanthropie als Motiv der privaten Förderung insbesondere staatlicher Hochschulen stellte zu diesem Zeitpunkt eher noch die Ausnahme dar. Mit dem Start des Deutschlandstipendienprogramms änderte sich dies. Seit 2011 werden durch dieses Programm bundesweit Studierende durch eine Matching-Funds-Konstruktion gefördert. Dabei werden die durch die privaten Förderinnen und Förderer zur Verfügung gestellten Mittel durch Staatsgelder verdoppelt. Das Interesse an Hochschulfundraising, das in Deutschland im internationalen Vergleich damals noch schwach ausgeprägt war, wuchs über die Jahre zügig. Die Herausgeber haben das Jubiläum des Deutschlandstipendiums im Jahr 2021 zum Anlass genommen, einen Sammelband zu initiieren, der zehn Jahre Deutschlandstipendium wissenschaftlich fundiert und mit praktischem Bezug zusammenfasst.
