Nonstop
Boris Hermann is the superstar of the German pro-sailing-scene. He sailed around the world in the fastest time - just 47 days - and holds several records at sea. He was the highest-placed German participant 2010/11 at the Barcelona World Race, reaching (with Ryan Breymeier) a respectable 5th place. Further credentials include: The 2009 winner (with Felix Oehme) of the Portimao Global Ocean Race, Portimao, which is a Regatta in 5 stages around the world - Portimao to Cape Town to Wellington to Ilhabela (Brazil) to Charleston (USA) and back to Portimao. All in all, 145 days with the BELUGA RACER (Class 40); 2nd in the 2008 Artemis-Transat-single handed from Plymouth to Boston - Class 40; 2007 German Champion with the 505er; Two years ranking leader, Vice - European Champion and Europe Cup winner. After a decade as a teamplayer, Hermann (in 2020) has now set his sights on the most difficult Regatta of the world: the Vendée Globe. Nonstop follows this passionate sailor's story. Text in English and German.
doomed
In chaos theory, the butterfly effect refers to the sensitive dependence on initial conditions, where minimal changes in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can lead to large differences in a later stage. Beyond the climate sciences, the concept of the domino effect is similarly used as a broader term for any situation in which a relatively minor change is expected to cause significant black swan events. In this context, the simple flap of a butterfly's wings can trigger tornados in far distant regions. But it was not long before the beginning of this millennium that almost simultaneously and everywhere such butterflies began to swarm. Under these circumstances, the Doomsday Clock ...
Shifting Paradigms in Contemporary German Politics and Policy
Germany has undergone more change in the past two years than it has experienced in decades. In the fall of 2021, the Social Democratic Party unexpectedly surged to first place in the Bundestag elections, going on to lead a coalition of SPD, Greens, and Free Democrats that promised to “dare more progress” domestically. Then just two months after the new government was installed, Russia invaded Ukraine. The contributions in this volume investigate the altered state of German politics and predict the trajectory of Europe’s leading power in the transformed geopolitical environment.
Wild Card
Pressure, stress, and the threat of losing control all have the power to inhibit a tennis player's professional, athletic, and sometimes even everyday performance. How can the athlete manage these challenges? Wild Card is the must-have guide for navigating these difficult moments. Though targeted specifically at the elite tennis player, it appeals to any athlete who has the ambition to perform at their best, who faces extreme challenges and wants to master them. An athlete can even go so far as to apply these mental strategies to life's daily challenges. Written from the perspective of world-class tennis player, Laura Siegemund, this guide equips the athlete with the tools to develop concent...
Global Systemic Crisis
Our world has transformed over recent decades with concerning trends that threaten to destabilize nation states, abolish society and culture, establish digital control over individuals, erase identity, and diminish what makes us human. While the economic crisis garners attention, today’s crisis encompasses much more – politics, civil society, science, philosophy, education, art, religion, traditional values, and other facets of life. This signals a systemic crisis of modern global capitalism. This book surveys today’s pivotal trends, contrasting the dying old world with the emerging new one including their social systems, social sciences, and conceptions of humanity. Drawing on extensi...
In the Service of Aeolus
Peter Foerthmann has spent his life in the service of Aeolus, the Keeper of the Winds. He learned to harness the power of the wind first as a sailor and then as the man behind the Windpilot windvane self-steering company. The winds of fortune have by turns favoured (his serendipitous meeting with Windpilot founder John Adam, for example) and tormented (numerous legal entanglements being the most prominent example) him without ever managing to blow him entirely off course - a course that stretches to the horizon and beyond, where sailing dreams become reality (at least for those with the right transom ornament). This book presents the recollections of a self-taught original who, heedless of c...
Segelzeit
Im November 1965 kaufte Wilfried Erdmann sein erstes Segelboot, und damit begann sein Leben in jeder Hinsicht neu. Ahnungslos war er, einer, der sich erst einmal mit den grundlegenden Dingen beschäftigen musste, der lernte, wie man Segel zu bedienen hat und dass es manchmal sinnvoll ist, die Schot aufzufieren. Mittlerweile ist sein Name Synonym für das Segeln schlechthin geworden. Sowohl seine herausragenden Leistungen als Einhandsegler als auch die Törns zusammen mit seiner Frau oder mit Gästen, Reisen um die ganze Welt oder Entdeckungen im heimatlichen Jollenrevier zeigen: Wilfried Erdmann hat Sinn für alles, was sich mit Segeln "bewegen" lässt. Die nun vorliegenden Reiseaufzeichnung...
Allein über den Atlantik
Johannes Erdmann hat gerade sein Abitur gemacht, kaum Geld, aber eine große Sehnsucht: den Ozean. Als sein Studienbeginn sich um ein paar Monate verzögert, kommt seine Chance. Schnell wird die kleine, 36 Jahre alte Yacht MAVERICK, ersteigert bei Ebay, fit gemacht. Dann startet er allein zur Atlantiküberquerung von Lissabon in die Karibik. Es wird ein großes Abenteuer, eine Reise durch alle Höhen und Tiefen des Einhandsegelns, mit Stürmen und Flauten, mit Zahnschmerzen, Euphorie und Seekrankheit, mit zerrissenen Segeln und diversen Schäden. Erdmann erreicht sein Traumziel Barbados. Dann geht es weiter, den Intracoastal Waterway 2000 km hinauf bis nach Charleston/South Carolina, wo Erdmann die MAVERICK verkauft und nach Hause fliegt. Was bleibt, ist eine denkwürdige Reise, die Mut macht, weil sie zeigt: Wer seinen Traum leben will, braucht keine Reichtümer. Ein paar gute Ideen und ein starker Wille genügen.
