Weihnachten und Berlin, das passt einfach nicht zusammen: Hedonistische Partymetropole, Kodderschnauze und das besinnliche Fest der Liebe? Nein, das geht nicht. Und doch holt der Hauptstädter im November die Lichterketten aus dem Keller und schmückt seinen Balkon bis zur Unkenntlichkeit. Irgendwie geht es nämlich doch.Auch wenn in Berlin so recht niemand etwas mit dem Weihnachtsfest zu tun haben will, die Nordmanntannen sind am 24.12. trotzdem alle ausverkauft. Über dreißig Autorinnen und Autoren aus der Lesebühnenszene der Hauptstadt entführen in die geheime Welt der Original Berliner Weihnacht. Und nicht alles ist einfach so ausgedacht. Das Interview mit dem Weihnachtsmann vielleicht schon, aber nicht, was die Ureinwohner an den Festtagen machen, wenn die Zugezogenen heim nach Westdeutschland fahren. Oder die Geschichte, wo ... aber das wird nicht verraten. Schließlich ist Weihnachten das Fest der Überraschungen. Erst recht in Berlin, denn das ist für Überraschungen immer gut.
Vor 25 Jahren feierte das Max-Planck-Gymnasium in Göttingen seinen 400. Geburtstag. Die Zeit seither brachte die wohl umfassendsten und durchgreifendsten Veränderungen in der Geschichte des deutschen Schulwesens. Das MPG war hierbei stets eine der Schulen in Göttingen, die aktiv neue pädagogische Strukturen einführten und Innovationen vorantrieben. Dieser Prozess und sein Ergebnis, das moderne und zukunftsorientierte Gymnasium, seine Akteure und Förderer werden in diesem Band vorgestellt.
With the collapse of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance in 1991, the Eastern European nations of the former socialist bloc had to figure out their newly capitalist future. Capitalism, they found, was not a single set of political-economic relations. Rather, they each had to decide what sort of capitalist nation to become. In Capitalist Diversity on Europe's Periphery, Dorothee Bohle and Béla Geskovits trace the form that capitalism took in each country, the assets and liabilities left behind by socialism, the transformational strategies embraced by political and technocratic elites, and the influence of transnational actors and institutions. They also evaluate the impact of three re...

This is the second volume focused on geoethics published by the Geological Society of London. This is a significant step forward in which authors address the maturation of geoethics. The field of geoethics is now ready to be introduced outside the geoscience community as a logical platform for global ethics that addresses anthropogenic changes. Geoethics has a distinction in the geoscientific community for discussing ethical, social and cultural implications of geoscience knowledge, research, practice, education and communication. This provides a common ground for confronting ideas, experiences and proposals on how geosciences can supply additional service to society in order to improve the way humans interact responsibly with the Earth system. This book provides new messages to geoscientists, social scientists, intellectuals, law- and decision-makers, and laypeople. Motivations and actions for facing global anthropogenic changes and their intense impacts on the planet need to be governed by an ethical framework capable of merging a solid conceptual structure with pragmatic approaches based on geoscientific knowledge. This philosophy defines geoethics.
The key values of the Open Society - freedom, justice, tolerance, democracy and respect for knowledge - are increasingly under threat in today's world. As an effort to uphold those values, this volume brings together some of the key political, social and economic thinkers of our time to re-examine the Open Society closely in terms of its history, its achievements and failures, and its future prospects. Based on the lecture series Rethinking Open Society, which took place between 2017 and 2018 at the Central European University, the volume is deeply embedded in the history and purpose of CEU, its Open Society mission, and its belief in educating sceptical but passionate citizens. This volume aims to inspire students, researchers and citizens around the world to critically engage with Open Society values and to defend them wherever they are at risk. The volume features contributions from, among others: Dorothee Bohle, Timothy Garton Ash, Jacques Rupnik, Steven Walt, Erica Benner, Robert Kaplan, Andras Sajo, Roger Scruton, Alina Mungiu-Pippidi, and Pierre Rosanvallon.
