Full Circle
A story of spiritual healing and of the restoration of physical and mental health, Full Circle narrates the story of author Judith C. Radaschs life, chronicling her fascinating and eventful journey. Beginning with her birth in 1943, Radasch shares the details of her lifethe good, the bad, and the ugly. She tells how she healed miraculously from the trauma of childhood rape and provides tantalizing glimpses of Harvard Business School, the 80s Wall Street market rally, temporary insanity, and true love. Full Circle tells a personal story about the power of science and faith working in concert to bring about miraculous healing as those two threads became fully integrated late in Radaschs life. ...

Ethics and Genetics
Genetic information plays an increasingly important role in ourlives. As a result of the Human Genome Project, knowledge ofthe genetic basis of various diseases is growing, withimportant consequences for the role of genetics in clinicalpractice, health care systems and for society at large. In theclinical setting genetic testing may result in a better insightinto susceptibility for inheritable diseases, not only before orafter birth, but also at later stages in life. Besides prenataltesting and pre-conceptional testing, predictive testing hasresulted in new possibilities for the early detection, treatmentand prevention of inheritable diseases. However, not all inheritable diseases that can b...
Life With Darwin and other baboons
... baboons are neither devils nor saints but animals who like us have very individual personalities, experience a wide range of emotions and possess a capacity for reasoning.' These are the words of Kobie Kruger, best selling wildlife author, in her foreword to Life with Darwin. Of all the primates in Africa, the Chacma Baboon has arguably received the least attention in terms of comprehensive behavioural studies. Life with Darwin is an account of the work of Karin Saks who, through fostering orphaned baby baboons and attempting to rehabilitate them back into the wild, had the opportunity to observe and record the activities of a number of wild baboon troops. Through her daily interaction with them she brings fresh perspectives to our knowledge of an animal society that is both complex and well ordered. It is a fresh and accessible look at a species that has not always been sympathetically regarded, and its insights go a long way towards redressing this attitude.

Can We Survive Our Origins?
Are religions intrinsically violent (as is strenuously argued by the ‘new atheists’)? Or, as Girard argues, have they been functionally rational instruments developed to manage and cope with the intrinsically violent runaway dynamic that characterizes human social organization in all periods of human history? Is violence decreasing in this time of secular modernity post-Christendom (as argued by Steven Pinker and others)? Or are we, rather, at increased and even apocalyptic risk from our enhanced powers of action and our decreased socio-symbolic protections? Rene Girard’s mimetic theory has been slowly but progressively recognized as one of the most striking breakthrough contributions ...
Pond in the Forest
A young girl grows up on a farm in postwar Germany in the northern province of Schleswig-Holstein. Her family were refugees from an eastern German province. She becomes a friend to a local young man named Christian. The two fall in love and are challenged with social status and family's wealth of locals. The young man dies in an accident shortly after he asked her hand in marriage. Karen later immigrates to Canada with her two daughters to start a new life after a failed marriage, uncertain what the future holds. Her main concerns are her daughters. Her little family comes to love their new home and country Canada. Many years later, when Karen least expects it, love enters her life again in form of a close relative of her first love. She is finally able to give her whole heart again.
El Mono
When Karin Roth goes to Bogotá as an exchange student she quickly falls in love with the country and its people. Lively, attractive and opinionated, she soon has a wide circle of Colombian friends, and is studying and partying in equal measure. A trip to stay in a friend’s finca farm, however, awakens her to the beauty and grandeur of the Colombian landscape while an encounter with the strange, fair-headed El Mono – a ‘mountain man’ with a profound, near-mystical connection to the Andean people and wildlife – conjures deep, troubling emotions. Offered a summer internship in a top-flight multinational in Bogotá, Karen finds her loyalties are divided. Caught between the dazzling, c...
Miteinander kommunizieren – Kinder unter sich
Diese Arbeit untersucht die Ausbildung kommunikativer Fähigkeiten im Kindergarten- und Grundschulalter. Hierfür wurden Kinder im Alter von fünf bis acht Jahren bei der Kommunikation mit Gleichaltrigen über drei Jahre hinweg begleitet. Anhand der Daten können vielfältige Strategien für eine erfolgreiche Bewältigung kindlicher Interaktion aufgezeigt werden. Dabei spielt (sprachliche) Kooperation unter den Kindern eine grundlegende Rolle. Eine zentrale und notwendige Fähigkeit zur Kooperation bildet auf der Makroebene sprachlichen Handelns die Bearbeitung von Konflikten. Auf der Mikroebene wird die Organisation des Diskurses selbst in der sprachlichen, insbesondere prozeduralen, Koordination von Sprecher und Hörer eingehend betrachtet. Sie ist für ein konsistentes und kontinuierliches gemeinsames Handeln unabdingbar. Schon früh setzen die Kinder gezielt Sprechhandlungen zur Herstellung und Aufrechterhaltung von Kooperation ein; mit zunehmendem Alter werden diese komplexer und weiter ausdifferenziert.
