Schlump
An NYRB Classics Original Seventeen-year-old Schlump marches off to war in 1915 because going to war is the best way to meet girls. And so he does, on his first posting, overseeing three villages in occupied France. But then Schlump is sent to the front, and the good times end. Schlump, written by Hans Herbert Grimm, was published anonymously in 1928 and was one of the first German novels to describe World War I in all its horror and absurdity, and it remains one of the best. What really sets it apart is its remarkable central character. Who is Schlump? A bit of a rascal and a bit of a sweetheart, a victim of his times, an inveterate survivor, maybe even a new type of man. At once comedy, documentary, hellhole, and fairy tale, Schlump is a gripping and disturbing book about the experience of trauma and what the great critic Walter Benjamin, writing at the same time as Hans Herbert Grimm, would call the death of experience, since perhaps if anything goes, nothing counts.

Kulinaristik
4e de couv.: Die Kulinaristik (von lat. culina = die Küche) ist ein Fächer und Branchen übergreifender Beitrag zu den Kultur- und Lebenswissenschaften. Die versammelten Beiträge des Bandes schreiben Visionen, Forschungen und Initiativen ihrer Umsetzung in die Praxis fort, die insbesondere im Umfeld der 2000 gegründeten Deutschen Akademie für Kulinaristik entstanden sind. Die Autoren sind Wissenschaftler und renommierte Vertreter der Gastronomie, der Lebensmittelwirtschaft, der Medien, der Freien Berufe und Kulturinstitute. Sie beleuchten Themen und Kontexte von der kulturellen Verankerung des Ess- und Trinkverhaltens, des Kochens und der Gastlichkeit bis hin zu rituellen, gastronomischen, geschlechtsspezifischen, kulturpolitischen, philosophischen, ökonomischen, theologischen, semiotischen und kommunikativen Aspekten des Zusammenhangs von Kultur, Kommunikation und Küche.
Die Vergiftung der Erde
Klingende Worte beschreiben die Zerstörung der Natur. Die Rede ist von Pestiziden, die Mensch und Tier vergiften, vom gestörten ökologischen Gleichgewicht, von erschöpften Böden. Die ökologische Krisenpublizistik hat Metaphern hervorgebracht wie Ackergift und Mutter Erde, Waldsterben und chemischer Tod, Giftwelle und Krieg gegen die Natur. Die Vergiftung der Erde ist nicht bloß ein toxikologischer Befund, sondern eine kulturelle Leitmetapher in ökologischen Diskursen. Was ist deren naturwissenschaftlicher Kern? Gründen diese politischen Metaphern gar in jahrhundertealten antijüdischen Stigmawörtern wie der Brunnenvergiftung? In einer faszinierenden Studie verbindet der Autor Aspekte der agrarischen Industrialisierung mit der Geschichte der politischen und religiösen Giftmetapher, der Naturwissenschaft vom Gift und der Geistesgeschichte organischer Erdmetaphern.
If the Organs Could Speak
At a time of increasing volatility in healthcare provision, we are all having to become more responsible for our own well-being. This book – an imaginative, practical and accessible guide to our inner organs – is written for anyone who wants to improve their health and develop resiliency against illness. Although trained as a medical doctor, Olaf Koob has the vision and experience of a holistic physician. He has surveyed diverse medical systems – orthodox medicine, naturopathy, homeopathy, Chinese, ayurvedic and anthroposophic medicine – and found their common substance. Using this knowledge, he relates the essence of each human organ: its position, colour, form, embryonic development, function and characteristic attributes. Thus, the organs begin to tell their own stories, revealing their ‘biography’, physiognomy and the illnesses they are prone to.
The Way to Freedom and Power
The responsibility for the future lies with the individual human being, to whom is given the free will to change for the good and to become noble from within. This book has the ability to guide us to a deeper understanding of the purpose of human existence, indicating to us our role in the machinery of the Universe. The book explains the seven most important Laws of Creation, which lead to the liberation of the spirit and speaks to the heart, awakening an awareness and responsibility towards the world. The Law of Attraction of Homogeneous Species, the Law of Gravity and the Law of Reciprocal Action play key roles in all areas of our lives. We always reap what we sow - and we must understand that we do not only sow with words and deeds but also with our thoughts and our intuitive perceptions. Essential steps, relevant ideas and solutions for a future worth living are shown and the foundation for a successful life based on the Spiritual Laws is explained.

Die Weltgesundheitsformel 2
Die Erde könnte die gesamte Weltbevölkerung — einschließlich aller Tiere — problemlos ernähren. Aber mit Nahrungsmitteln kann man Geld verdienen, die Lebensmittelbranche ist die größte und mächtigste Industrie des gesamten Planeten. Je mehr Einfluß die Konzerne auf unsere Essgewohnheiten haben, je mehr die Landwirtschaft und damit die Nahrungsmittelerzeugung industrialisiert und standardisiert wird, desto mehr lässt sich verdienen, desto größer werden Macht und Einfluß der Marktteilnehmer. Aus dem marktwirtschaftlichen Gesetz des stetigen Wachstums hat sich für die Nahrungsmittelerzeugung ergeben, dass Pestizide, Genveränderungen, Monokulturen und Massentierhaltung zu angeb...
