Explanation Within the Bounds of Religion
This book deals with the question of whether religious worldviews fulfil an explanatory function in the lives of believers. After rebutting some common objections to this claim, the author proposes to understand the explanatory nature of religious belief along the lines of inference to the best explanation. This proposal is qualified in view of the peculiar nature of religious belief: It is stressed that the type of explanation concerned occurs within the bounds of religion alone, and loses its sense apart from the religious form of life. In unfolding his argument, the author draws heavily on ideas of explanation developed in the philosophy of science, pointing to differences and comparisons between religious and scientific explanations. The author concludes by considering some specific things that theism explains.
Health Promotion at School
For decades the health of children and adolescents has been a topic of interest in all parts of Europe. And there is quite a consensus that schools are the most appropriate setting to promote health. Childhood and adolescence constitute key stages for learning and adopting a health-related and active lifestyle which includes physical activity and sports. The book describes a new approach to enhance students' health awareness through experimental learning settings in P.E. class, cross-subject teaching, and project work. Teaching health topics requires a pedagogical and didactical framework based on the concept of health literacy and interdisciplinary research discussed by the authors. Teaching examples to improve students' health knowledge, health competencies and skills as well as health behaviour and habits at school implicates a new teaching structure presented in the book.

Human Development from Early Childhood to Early Adulthood
Data generated from longitudinal studies allow researchers to better understand how context and experience interact with stable characteristics of the developing person over time. This book summarizes a landmark longitudinal study of 200 children, from the ages of 3 to 23. The Munich Longitudinal Study on the Ontogenesis of Individual Competencies (LOGIC) examined the development of individual differences over time and whether it is possible to predict later competencies from earlier ones. Offering a snapshot of theory and data on personality, social, motor, moral, and cognitive development, the contributors help us understand which individual differences can and cannot be altered through sc...
Pädagogik mit Tieren
Die Tiergestützte Pädagogik - als Teildisziplin der Pädagogik - schärft den Blick für Kind-Umwelt-Zusammenhänge. Dabei spielt das Tier eine entscheidende Rolle. Durch seine Einbindung in Erziehungs- und Unterrichtsprozesse rückt die Frage nach der Qualität von Erfahrungsräumen für das Lernen von Kindern und Jugendlichen in vorschulischen, schulischen und außerschulischen Bildungseinrichtungen (wieder verstärkt) ins Bewusstsein der Erziehungsverantwortlichen. Lernarrangements, bei denen Tiere eine Rolle spielen, lenken zugleich die Wahl der Inhalte und Methoden sowie die Formen der Beziehungs- und Erziehungsarbeit. Der vorliegende Band zeigt (aus der Perspektive von Theorie und Praxis), dass professionelle tiergestützte Arbeit nicht nur den gegenwärtigen Anforderungen an zukunftsfähige Bildungskonzepte gerecht wird, sondern darüber hinaus eine Bereicherung für Jung und Alt darstellt.
