Urban Biodiversity and Design
With the continual growth of the world's urban population, biodiversity in towns and cities will play a critical role in global biodiversity. This is the first book to provide an overview of international developments in urban biodiversity and sustainable design. It brings together the views, experiences and expertise of leading scientists and designers from the industrialised and pre-industrialised countries from around the world. The contributors explore the biological, cultural and social values of urban biodiversity, including methods for assessing and evaluating urban biodiversity, social and educational issues, and practical measures for restoring and maintaining biodiversity in urban areas. Contributions come from presenters at an international scientific conference held in Erfurt, Germany 2008 during the 9th Conference of the Parties of the Convention on Biodiversity. This is also Part of our Conservation Science and Practice book series (with Zoological Society of London).
From Flatwork to Jumping
Techniques and exercises to get you started! Working over poles is the first stage in starting your horse to jump, as well as being the ideal way to train your horse to be obedient and supple in his flatwork. Horses will become more attentive and eager to learn. At the same time, they will be strengthening their back muscles. Schooling over poles will help both horse and rider in equal measure. This book offers practical advice to ensure that the first steps in jumping are successful ones.
Rider's AIDS
The rider’s aids are the be-all and end-all of riding. Without them, no understanding or communication with the horse is possible. The aids must be conveyed to the horse both clearly and distinctly, and yet unobtrusively as fine aids. How to learn and employ these aids is dealt with in this concise guidebook in plain, easy to understand terms, amply supported by clear illustrations.
The Structured Schooling of Horses
Submission and suppleness, rhythm, contact, and collection are some of the basic elements that make up a horse’s training and which all riders need to come to grips with. But what do they actually mean, and what is their order of priority? This book gives a clear description of how a structured schooling program can be put together and what importance should be given to each of the individual components of training.
Gottesbilder von Grundschulkindern
Die in diesem Band vorgelegte Dokumentation ist ein Forschungsprojekt der Evangelischen Hochschule Freiburg zum Bereich der Kindertheologie gewesen (= Gott der Kinder, Band 3). Untersucht wurden Äußerungen von Grundschülern und Grundschülerinnen in der Corona-Zeit zum Thema Gottesbild: Ob Gott Gewitter erzeugen kann oder göttliche Geschenke ein preisliches Limit nicht überschreiten dürfen, zeigten die Kinder der befragten zweiten und vierten Klassen zu den Themen der Persönlichkeit von und Kommunikation mit Gott. In der Zeit der Covid-19-Pandemie entstanden, beschreibt das Projekt darüber hinaus exemplarisch die gedachten Zusammenhänge zwischen einer Existenz Gottes und Corona aus der Sicht der von uns befragten Kinder.
Pferde richtig ausbilden
Wie bilde ich mein Pferd auf Grundlage der klassischen Reitlehre richtig aus? Wie kann ich die Punkte der Ausbildungsskala Takt, Losgelassenheit, Anlehnung, Schwung, Geraderichtung und Versammlung aufeinander aufbauen und fördern? Diese und viele weitere Fragen beantwortet die Autorin mithilfe von konkreten Übungen.
Stangenarbeit und erste Sprünge
Stangenarbeit ist eine unverzichtbare Disziplin. Der Reiter schult dabei seine Balance und sein Gefühl für die Bewegung seines Pferdes. Außerdem lernt er, noch mehr als beim dressurmäßigen Reiten, die Leistungsfähigkeit des Partners Pferd richtig einzuschätzen und Verantwortung für dessen Sicherheit und die eigene zu übernehmen. All das macht sie gerade für Kinder und Jugendliche zu einem wichtigen Bestandteil der Reitausbildung. Aber nicht nur der Reiter, sondern auch das Pferd, ob jung oder erfahren, profitiert von den Übungen in diesem Buch. Stangenarbeit gymnastiziert alle Muskeln, besonders die im Rückenbereich. Sie macht die Pferde aufmerksam und frisch. Und nicht zuletzt bringt sie willkommene Abwechslung ins Training.
Babushka's Journey
This is the story of a grandmother, and what happened to her and to Eastern Europe in World War II. Following the tracks of his grandmother Cacilie, Cilly for short, into her vanished homeland of East Prussia and to the labour camps of the Soviet Union, Marcel Krueger has interwoven contemporary landscape and family history into an evocative travel memoir. Babushka's Journey is the record of his grandmother's journey from the snow-covered battlefields of East Prussia in January 1945 to the Soviet labour camps in the Urals, where she spent five years before returning to Germany. Chasing the sights, sounds and voices of past and present along this route, the author has created both fictionalised historical narrative and contemporary travelogue, covering two different journeys that follow the same path. As he stumbles through the bars of present-day Poland and dreams on the bunk beds of the Trans-Siberian railway, Krueger forges an authentic retelling of Cilly's tragic yet hopeful story, discovering that her journey reflects tens of thousands of similar personal histories, which continue to haunt Germany, Poland and Russia today.
