Emotionen spielen im alltäglichen Leben eine große Rolle. Sie begleiten soziale Interaktion, Kommunikation, Eigen- und Fremdwahrnehmung. Menschen aus dem autistischen Spektrum weisen bekanntlich eine Beeinträchtigung innerhalb dieser Bereiche auf, doch welche Rolle spielen die bislang wenig erforschten emotionalen Empfindun-gen innerhalb dieser Beeinträchtigungen?Neben Impressionen aus der Literatur und einem Interview mit dem prominenten autistischen Autobiographen Axel Brauns, stützt sich die Autorin auf Ergebnisse eigener Online-Befragungen zur relativen Häufigkeit zentra-ler Emotionen und deren Intensität. Die Erkenntnisse liefern wichtige Grundlagen für das Zusammenleben und die (therapeutische) Arbeit mit Menschen aus dem Spektrum.
In this volume we aimed to assess progress in determining the processes by which current patterns of tropical biodiversity were established and are maintained. Tropical regions are highly species-rich and we present studies that have improved our understanding of the generation of that diversity at local, regional and global scales. We demonstrate how diverse fields from molecular phylogenetics, phylogeography, palaeontology and palaeoecology continue to improve our understanding of the natural history of the tropics.
Neither government programs nor massive charitable efforts responded adequately to the human crisis that was Hurricane Katrina. In this study, the authors use extensive interviews with Katrina evacuees and reports from service providers to identify what helped or hindered the reestablishment of the lives of hurricane survivors who relocated to Austin, Texas. Drawing on social capital and social network theory, the authors assess the complementary, and often conflicting, roles of FEMA, other governmental agencies and a range of non-governmental organizations in addressing survivors' short- and longer-term needs. While these organizations came together to assist with immediate emergency needs, even collectively they could not deal with survivors' long-term needs for employment, affordable housing and personal records necessary to rebuild lives. Community Lost provides empirical evidence that civil society organizations cannot substitute for an efficient and benevolent state, which is necessary for society to function.
Through nine successful editions, and for over 45 years, Biogeography: An Ecological and Evolutionary Approach has provided a thorough and comprehensive exploration of the varied scientific disciplines and research that are essential to understanding the subject.
