Encyclopedia of Nordic Crime Fiction
Since the late 1960s, the novels of Sjowall and Wahloo's Martin Beck detective series, along with the works of Henning Mankell, Hakan Nesser and Stieg Larsson, have sparked an explosion of Nordic crime fiction--grim police procedurals treating urgent sociopolitical issues affecting the contemporary world. Steeped in noir techniques and viewpoints, many of these novels are reaching international audiences through film and television adaptations. This reference guide introduces the world of Nordic crime fiction to English-speaking readers. Caught between the demands of conscience and societal strictures, the detectives in these stories--like the heroes of Norse mythology--know that they and their world must perish, but fight on regardless of cost. At a time of bleak eventualities, Nordic crime fiction interprets the bitter end as a celebration of the indomitable human spirit.
Theory and Practice of Distance Education
Distance education is practised in all parts of the world and in recent years, its scope has developed enormously and rapidly. It has become an intrinsic part of many national educational systems and an academic discipline in its own right. Research into the area has produced a body of theory which is now being used to improve its practice. This new edition of Theory and Practice of Distance Education has been thoroughly updated both by describing how practice has changed, and by examining recent research in the field. Like the first edition, this book provides a comprehensive survey of distance education, looking at it globally and discussing the different lines of thought and models used. It describes the place of distance education in educational thinking, its various theories, principles, and techniques of presentation, its organization and its administration.

Von Hexen, Zauberern und magischen Gestalten
Hexenromane gab es schon früher. Doch seit den 1970er Jahren treten sie vermehrt auch in der Kinder- und Jugendliteratur auf. Der Grund: Nicht mehr der jugendliche Held, die jugendliche Heldin stehen im Vordergrund des Geschehens, sondern Personen aus dem Volk, die wirklich gelebt haben und auf Grund der Glaubensvorstellungen der Menschen im 15. bis 18. Jahrhundert an den Pranger gestellt wurden. Wie kam es zu ihrer Verfolgung und was können wir heute noch daraus lernen? Welchen Anteil haben die «neue» Frauenbewegung und Harry Potter an der Wiederbelebung der Hexen im kulturellen Gedächtnis und welche Klischees sind dabei entstanden? Inwieweit bieten neuere historische Forschungen einen Ausweg aus dem Dilemma? Und schließlich: Worauf beruht der Wandel der Figur der Hexe, die sich in der neueren Kinder- und Jugendliteratur ganz anders als früher darstellt?
