A Road into Retirement
After a personal and professional life that led him across three continents – from Germany to Albert Schweitzer’s hospital in Africa, to medical training at the Mayo Clinic in the USA, Hans was on the verge of retirement from a satisfying but demanding career in radiology. He knew that he needed a new challenge to keep him as motivated and vibrant as his professional life had carried him. Being generally physically fit and always eager for adventure, the idea of mountain hiking began to pique his interest. Armed with his camera and renewed energy from a fitness program tailored for a near 60-year-old, Hans set off for Mt. Kilimanjaro, and a new love was born. Ten years later he aimed his feet and lens toward Nepal, and through his adventures there, developed a desire to plan his affairs and give something of himself to the people of this poor and complex country.
Love and Other Words
'Love and Other Words' is a love story told through poetry, charting decades in time between the author and her husband. As a medium, poetry offers a forum for emotions and ideas otherwise hidden from the page of regular prose. Joan captures the true mission of poetry in this book. Try reading the contents and not get a sense of journey and intrigue as to how feelings unfold. This body of work is a beautifully unique approach to exposing a relationship through poetic dialogue and presenting an opportunity for response. We are truly lucky to be allowed to witness this private journaling of feelings toward Joan's husband, Hans, and to then read his thoughts, also in poetic form. We are privy to themes of time and presence, existence and regret. The substance is raw in its provoking questioning, with hope of timelessness and the whim that love might live forever. The result is an oft heart choking insight into one of life's grandest concepts-LOVE.

Albert Schweitzer und sein Spital in Lambarene
Der Band legt eine detaillierte Geschichte des Albert-Schweitzer-Spitals in Lambarene von seinen Anfängen im Jahr 1913 bis zum Tode Schweitzers 1965 vor. Außer Schweitzers eigenen Ausführungen zieht er auch weitere Quellen wie Berichte von Mitarbeitern und Besuchern heran. Mit Hilfe der Auswertung des weithin unveröffentlichten Briefwechsels geht er auch auf das konfliktreiche Verhältnis mit der Pariser Evangelischen Missionsgesellschaft ein, deren Vorbehalte gegen Schweitzers theologische Positionen diesen veranlasste, Medizin zu studieren und als Arzt nach Afrika zu gehen.
Impacts of natural disasters on supply chain performance
Considering the increasing importance of natural disaster events it is inevitable to also focus on their impacts on supply chains as well as their performance impacts on them.

Stormtroopers
The first full history of the Nazi Stormtroopers whose muscle brought Hitler to power, with revelations concerning their longevity and their contributions to the Holocaust Germany’s Stormtroopers engaged in a vicious siege of violence that propelled the National Socialists to power in the 1930s. Known also as the SA or Brownshirts, these “ordinary” men waged a loosely structured campaign of intimidation and savagery across the nation from the 1920s to the “Night of the Long Knives” in 1934, when Chief of Staff Ernst Röhm and many other SA leaders were assassinated on Hitler’s orders. In this deeply researched history, Daniel Siemens explores not only the roots of the SA and its swift decapitation but also its previously unrecognized transformation into a million-member Nazi organization, its activities in German-occupied territories during World War II, and its particular contributions to the Holocaust. The author provides portraits of individual members and their victims and examines their milieu, culture, and ideology. His book tells the long-overdue story of the SA and its devastating impact on German citizens and the fate of their country.
