Parenting an Athlete
The role that parents play in the development of their children is crucial, especially when it comes to athletics. While many parents today are aware of the need to provide their child with the best opportunities to succeed and excel in sports, many are completely unaware of the tremendous impact they have on their child's attitude and self-esteem. Annette Reiter's motivational book,Parenting an Athlete,looks at all angles of raising a sports-minded son or daughter, with the goal of guiding parents so that they positively and encouragingly interact—not interfere—with their child athlete. Having lived all sides of the 'parenting and sports' issue, Annette writes from an informed perspective of not only a coach dealing with parental roles but also as a proud and frustrated parent on the sidelines. 'A must-read for parents, especially those whose student-athlete is approaching high school. Parents need to realize the profound influence they have on their child's attitude, not only in athletics, but also in life.' - Chris Hill, head basketball coach, Morrestown High School, and former college basketball player
Whole Body Interaction
Whole Body Interaction is “The integrated capture and processing of human signals from physical, physiological, cognitive and emotional sources to generate feedback to those sources for interaction in a digital environment” (England 2009). Whole Body Interaction looks at the challenges of Whole Body Interaction from the perspectives of design, engineering and research methods. How do we take physical motion, cognition, physiology, emotion and social context to push boundaries of Human Computer Interaction to involve the complete set of human capabilities? Through the use of various applications the authors attempt to answer this question and set a research agenda for future work. Aimed at students and researchers who are looking for new project ideas or to extend their existing work with new dimensions of interaction.
Criticising the Ruler in Pre-Modern Societies – Possibilities, Chances, and Methods
In vormodernen Monarchien beobachten wir Widerspruch und Widerstand gegen einzelne Herrscher, ihre politischen Entscheidungen und ihre Verwaltung, aber in der Regel keine direkten Angriffe auf die Ordnungsprinzipien und das politische System. Wenn Unzufriedenheit zu Aufständen und Revolten führten, blieb es normalerweise bei einem bloßen Austausch des Regenten. Subtilere Methoden der Herrscherkritik konnten sich mittels fester Usancen oder spezifischer Codes und Spielregeln innerhalb des legalen Rahmens Gehör verschaffen und zielten darauf ab, die Qualitäten des Regenten zu verbessern oder spezifische Modi der Amtsführung zu reformieren. Diese verschiedenen Formen und Praktiken von Her...
Wunschbild, Schreckbild, Trugbild
Erstmals wird die Ausstrahlung Frankreichs, des "Mutterlandes der Revolution," auf das Deutschland im Revolutionsjahr 1848/49 in allen Aspekten erforscht. Im Zentrum stehen das sich in der offentlichen Diskussion manifestierende Frankreichbild und seine Auswirkungen auf das politische Handeln. Zunachst wird Frankreich als auaen- und machtpolitischer Faktor beleuchtet, sodann seine Rolle als verfassungs- und gesellschaftspolitisches Leitbild und schliealich als Trager und Quelle der revolutionaren Idee analysiert. Ein Vergleich des frankreichfernen Preuaen mit dem grenznahen deutschen Suedwesten macht regionale Unterschiede sichtbar. Die Basis bildet ein in diesem Umfang noch nie erschlossene...

Rilke's Sonnets to Orpheus
Written in three weeks of creative inspiration, Rainer Maria Rilke's Sonnets to Orpheus (1923) is well known for its enigmatic power and lyrical intensity. The essays in this volume forge a new path in illuminating the philosophical significance of this late masterpiece. Contributions illustrate the unique character and importance of the Sonnets, their philosophical import, as well as their significant connections to the Duino Elegies (completed in the same period). The volume features eight essays by philosophers, literary critics, and Rilke scholars, which approach a number of the central themes and motifs of the Sonnets as well as the significance of their formal and technical qualities. ...
