Der unbekannte Wähler?
Bei Bundestagswahlen steht der Wähler mittlerweile ebenso sehr im Rampenlicht wie Politikerinnen und Politiker. Mit einer Vielzahl von Instrumenten wird dem Wahlvolk auf den Zahn gefühlt, sodass – oft schon vor den ersten Hochrechnungen – eigentlich jedem Journalisten, Politiker und Bürger klar ist, warum wer wen gewählt hat. Dass diese Einschätzung häufig auf zweifelhaften Quellen und Verfahren wie O-Tönen aus der Fußgängerzone beruht, spielt keine Rolle. So entstehen moderne Mythen über den deutschen Wähler, die sich trotz erheblicher Veränderungen bei Wählerschaft, Medien und in der politischen Landschaft hartnäckig halten. Die Autorinnen und Autoren nehmen u. a. am Beispiel der Bundestagswahl 2009 diese Mythen unter die Lupe und demaskieren oder untermauern sie. Wählen Frauen anders? Gefährden Wechselwähler die Demokratie in Deutschland? Sind die Volksparteien am Ende?
Uncredited
This publication examines how opening sequences in films, classic and contemporary, act as hooks to draw the viewer into the film, showing frame by frame how graphics, type and animation are used to create atmosphere, set tone, and lend impact to movies. From Hitchcock and Godard to Tarantino, Luc Besson, and Tim Burton, this large format coffee table book finally illuminates this critical role designers play in filmmaking and gives credit to those that often go uncredited.
A Modern Pilgrim in Mecca and a Siege in Sanaa
In 1908, Arthur Wavell left England to begin his journey to Mecca, determined to find out more about Arab customs with a view to future adventures into the unexplored interior of Arabia. Due to the suspicion a westerner would arouse, and the fact that unbelievers were forbidden by the authorities to enter Mecca, he undertook his pilgrimage in disguise. His journey to Damascus, Medina, and finally Mecca with his two companions-a Swahili Muslim from Mombasa and an Arab from Aleppo-is detailed in the first part of this reprint, which was originally published in 1912. Additionally, the book describes Wavell's abortive attempt to explore south central Arabia, including his capture and expulsion from Yemen by the Turkish authorities. A Modern Pilgrim in Mecca, now back in print, will be of great value to historians, to scholars of the region or period, and to armchair adventurers.

Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty
This masterful book from top experts provides clinical insights on reverse shoulder arthroplasty gleaned from hands-on refinement of shoulder replacement techniques. Years of significant biomechanical and clinical research yielded invaluable knowledge that led to important improvements in functional outcome and implant durability. Among these refinements were stronger polyethylene derivatives, better ingrowth technology, and improved connection devices. As the durability and longevity of implant technology increased, younger active patients became suitable candidates for this procedure. In fact, RSA has played a pivotal role in making shoulder arthroplasty the fastest growing implant technol...
