War Through Children's Eyes
On September 17, 1939, two weeks after the German invasion of Poland, Soviet troops occupied the eastern half of Poland and swiftly imposed a new political and economic order. Following a plebiscite, in early November the area was annexed to the Ukraine and Belorussia. Beginning in the winter of 1939&–40, Soviet authorities deported over one million Poles, many of them children, to various provinces of the Soviet Union. After the German attack on the USSR in summer 1941, the Polish government in exile in London received permission from its new-found ally to organize military units among the Polish deportees and later to transfer Polish civilians to camps in the British-controlled Middle Ea...

Werbung und Werte
Werte und Werbung? Wie passt das zusammen? Sind wir doch geneigt, in der Werbung, der es um Konsummaximierung geht, keine ethische Normgebung zu vermuten. Ist diese Einstellung falsch? Kann die Forschung doch Werte in der Werbung entdecken? Und welche? Diesem Fragenkomplex, der die klassische Werbeforschung bei weitem übersteigt und in philosophische, ja religiöse - sammenhänge hineinführt, widmet sich engagiert und couragiert Joanna Golonka im vorliegenden Buch. Bemerkenswert ist darüber hinaus nicht nur, dass eine polnische Nachwuchswissenschaftlerin sich der schwierigen Fragestellung - nimmt, sondern auch dass sie sie methodisch im Vergleich „Werte in der de- schen Werbung – Wert...

The Power of Denial
Innumerable studies have appeared in recent decades about practically every aspect of women's lives in Western societies. The few such works on Buddhism have been quite limited in scope. In The Power of Denial, Bernard Faure takes an important step toward redressing this situation by boldly asking: does Buddhism offer women liberation or limitation? Continuing the innovative exploration of sexuality in Buddhism he began in The Red Thread, here he moves from his earlier focus on male monastic sexuality to Buddhist conceptions of women and constructions of gender. Faure argues that Buddhism is neither as sexist nor as egalitarian as is usually thought. Above all, he asserts, the study of Buddh...

Shadow Migration
With her feet firmly rooted on the plains of Nebraska, Suzanne Ohlmann launches the reader into flight over miles and decades of migration: from an apple-pie childhood in America's Fourth of July City to the dirt floors of a cowshed in rural India, we zigzag across time and geography to see the world through Ohlmann's eyes and to discover with her the pain she'd been avoiding through her boomerang travels away from her native home. Through incarnations as a musician, arts manager, and registered nurse, Ohlmann finally lands in Texas, buys a house, and gets a dog. But her house is haunted, and so is she. In the dark solitude of Ohlmann's basement the vision of a dead child presents her with a harrowing choice: she can go home to Nebraska and seek the truth of her biological past, or, like the boy, surrender to the depths of her own darkness. With honesty, compassion, and a sense of humor, Ohlmann recounts her tenacious search into the shadows of her life.
