This humorous tale will convince you otherwise! You will be amazed by the exciting, bizarre, and sometimes tragic events that took place there.

Journey into Disaster
Sixteen days of hell — as a prisoner — in a godforsaken, hot and run-down Asian Police Station. The German engineer Thomas Heger is arrested during his vacation in the Philippines. What is he accused of and how do five little Filipino boys and their parents fit into the story? Are the accusations against the German justified? Where does the truth end and where does the fantasy begin? Who is the victim and who is the perpetrator? And who are the outrageous people who immediately start making money with Heger? What very special Filipino mentality does the German have to painfully learn and accept? Where do Western and Asian philosophies of life as well as customs and traditions collide? What is his experience with the police and what about accommodation at the police station? How do his family, friends and work colleagues in Germany react to the terrible story? What about his Filipino friends from the coastal village? What happens to the alleged child victims? Is Heger able to pull his head out of the noose? Embark on a Journey into Disaster and discover a very special Asian world.
Reise ins Unglück
Reise ins Unglück Sechzehn Tage – als Häftling – stehen Thomas Heger in einer heißen und heruntergekommenen Polizeistation in der philippinischen Provinz bevor. Mit welchen schrecklichen Anschuldigungen wird Heger konfrontiert und wie passen da fünf philippinische Jungen und deren Eltern ins Bild? Sind die Vorwürfe gegen den Deutschen begründet? Wo endet die Wahrheit und wo beginnt die Fantasie? Wer ist das Opfer? Wer der Täter? Und wer sind die Leute, die aus Hegers Geschichte sofort ungeniert Kapital schlagen? Welche sehr speziellen philippinischen Gepflogenheiten muss Heger schmerzhaft lernen? Wo prallen heftig die westlichen und die asiatischen Weltanschauungen und die Kulturen aufeinander? Wie erlebt Heger die Zeit in der Polizeistation und welche Erfahrungen macht er mit den Polizisten? Wie reagieren seine Familie, die Freunde und die Arbeitskollegen in Deutschland auf die Misere? Und wie seine philippinischen Freunde aus dem Dorf am Meer? Was passiert mit den vermeintlichen Opfern? Wird Heger seinen Kopf aus der Schlinge ziehen? Begeben Sie sich auf die Reise und lernen Sie eine ganz besondere asiatische Welt kennen.

City of Caesar, City of God
When Emperor Constantine triggered the rise of a Christian state, he opened a new chapter in the history of Constantinople and Jerusalem. In the centuries that followed, the two cities were formed and transformed into powerful symbols of Empire and Church. For the first time, this book investigates the increasingly dense and complex net of reciprocal dependencies between the imperial center and the navel of the Christian world. Imperial influence, initiatives by the Church, and projects of individuals turned Constantinople and Jerusalem into important realms of identification and spaces of representation. Distinguished international scholars investigate this fascinating development, focusing on aspects of art, ceremony, religion, ideology, and imperial rule. In enriching our understanding of the entangled history of Constantinople and Jerusalem in Late Antiquity, City of Caesar, City of God illuminates the transition between Antiquity, Byzantium, and the Middle Ages.
Cosmic Rays at Earth
In 1912 Victor Franz Hess made the revolutionary discovery that ionizing radiation is incident upon the Earth from outer space. He showed with ground-based and balloon-borne detectors that the intensity of the radiation did not change significantly between day and night. Consequently, the sun could not be regarded as the sources of this radiation and the question of its origin remained unanswered. Today, almost one hundred years later the question of the origin of the cosmic radiation still remains a mystery.Hess' discovery has given an enormous impetus to large areas of science, in particular to physics, and has played a major role in the formation of our current understanding of universal ...
Being Christian in Late Antiquity
What do we mean when we talk about 'being Christian' in Late Antiquity? This volume brings together sixteen world-leading scholars of ancient Judaism, Christianity and Greco-Roman culture and society to explore this question, in honour of the ground-breaking scholarship of Professor Gillian Clark. After an introduction to the volume's dedicatee and themes by Averil Cameron, the papers in Section I, `Being Christian through Reading, Writing and Hearing', analyse the roles that literary genre, writing, reading, hearing and the literature of the past played in the formation of what it meant to be Christian. The essays in Section II move on to explore how late antique Christians sought to create...
Imaging Living Cells
Intended for bench-top use, this lab manual is suitable for both scientists and graduate students, since it combines an update on the most advanced imaging procedures with detailed protocols. Examples, carefully selected from the wide repertoire of cell pyhsiology, cover such different functional aspects as distribution of multiple ions, electrical activity, exo-endocytosis, gene expression, and the cell cycle.
Sacred Founders
Diliana Angelova argues that from the time of Augustus through early Byzantium, a discourse of “sacred founders”—articulated in artwork, literature, imperial honors, and the built environment—helped legitimize the authority of the emperor and his family. The discourse coalesced around the central idea, bound to a myth of origins, that imperial men and women were sacred founders of the land, mirror images of the empire’s divine founders. When Constantine and his formidable mother Helena established a new capital for the Roman Empire, they initiated the Christian transformation of this discourse by brilliantly reformulating the founding myth. Over time, this transformation empowered imperial women, strengthened the cult of the Virgin Mary, fueled contests between church and state, and provoked an arresting synthesis of imperial and Christian art. Sacred Founders presents a bold interpretive framework that unearths deep continuities between the ancient and medieval worlds, recovers a forgotten transformation in female imperial power, and offers a striking reinterpretation of early Christian art.
Pagans and Christians in Late Antique Rome
This book sheds new light on the religious and consequently social changes taking place in late antique Rome. The essays in this volume argue that the once-dominant notion of pagan-Christian religious conflict cannot fully explain the texts and artifacts, as well as the social, religious, and political realities of late antique Rome. Together, the essays demonstrate that the fourth-century city was a more fluid, vibrant, and complex place than was previously thought. Competition between diverse groups in Roman society - be it pagans with Christians, Christians with Christians, or pagans with pagans - did create tensions and hostility, but it also allowed for coexistence and reduced the likelihood of overt violent, physical conflict. Competition and coexistence, along with conflict, emerge as still central paradigms for those who seek to understand the transformations of Rome from the age of Constantine through the early fifth century.
