In ""The Mountain Boy,"" twelve-year-old Jan stands at a crossroads, both literally and figuratively, as he gazes out over the breathtaking Himalayan landscape. Born into a family of sherpas in a remote Nepalese village, Jan finds himself torn between honoring his cultural heritage and embracing the allure of the modern world. The arrival of Western researchers ignites a spark of curiosity in Jan, challenging the traditional way of life that has sustained his community for generations. As Jan embarks on his first major trek with his father, he grapples with the conflicting desires to follow in his family's footsteps and explore the possibilities beyond the mountains.

This captivating tale weaves together themes of tradition, modernity, and environmental conservation, offering a nuanced exploration of cultural identity in the face of globalization.
Wandlungsorientiertes Kommunikationsmanagement
Unser Verständnis von Kommunikationsmanagement ist stark instrumentell geprägt. Diesem Modus der Weltbeherrschung wird in diesem Buch die chinesisch inspirierte Idee der Weltanpassung gegenübergestellt. Statt der vom definierten Ziel rückwärts gedachten Planung und Umsetzung einer idealen Strategie, wird ausgehend vom aktuellen Situationspotential ein vorwärtsorientierter Managementmodus vorgeschlagen.

Im Zentrum des wandlungsorientierten Kommunikationsmanagements stehen die Identifikation und Berücksichtigung der Sinn- und Bedeutungsstrukturen von fünf unterschiedlichen Lebenswelten. Deren prägende Frames und Narrative werden detailliert herausgearbeitet und bieten konkrete Ansatzpunkte für die Umsetzung in allen Phasen des wandlungsorientierten Kommunikationsmanagements – von der Analyse, über die Strategieentwicklung bis hin zur Operationalisierung.

Her unpublished "Family History" (1935) stages the story of her parents' transnational marriage as a series of homes the family inhabited in Britain and India -- thereby providing a heretofore unavailable narrative of the domestic face of 19th century Indian nationalism. Cornelia Sorabji was one of the first Indian women to qualify for the bar. Her memoirs (1934 and 1936) demonstrate h...
