Broken Beyond Healing
A young professor of religion and philosophy is called to a prophetic ministry on his campus. A prophet is someone who has a unique and distinct message, one who sees into a situation with startling clarity. One who suddenly and unmistakably knows the truth and its implications. One who must speak out in a way that will forever change the reality of the situation. One who speaks truth to power and pays the price. He is forced to make the most difficult decisions of his life. He is challenged to defend the values for which he stands that he has taught to generations of students.
Women After War
After war, social conditions are often regarded as more open for changes and international organisations are therefore encouraged to promote women's equal rights, utilising gender mainstreaming tools. These - sometimes inadvertently - affected the demobilisation program implemented after the civil war in Sierra Leone. On this program's background, the book examines the conceptualisation of women as combatants and victims. Being marginalised but far from passive, they engage with these concepts and strategise to socially (re-)construct gendered identities in order to take part in the benefits of the programs.

57 Kensington Road
Vera Lawson accepts an offer of employment with the aristocratic Wellmont family in London as a tutor. But she has an ulterior motive. Could her mother the scatterbrained Caroline Montieff have fled to Paris in search of her lost freedom? Gunther Polt, a Waffen SS Tank Commander, aristocratic, arrogant and wealthy with vast estates in Germany finds himself in an impossible position. Vera knows the family are hiding the connection between her mother Caroline and Polt, but needs to prove it. It is not until 1944 and she enlists with the British Nursing Corp does she discover her mother’s innermost secrets. For instance, what if you raised the lid of a piano stool in a bombed out house, and discovered a photograph of your mother with a German soldier… in NORMANDY? It is only when disaster strikes killing the entire Welmont household, and skeletal remains are uncovered in the Chateau’s crypt along with two stolen canvases, will Interpol disclose Caroline Lawson’s dark history?
Out of Mecklenburg
With Hitler at the height of his power, Carl von Menen, suave, wealthy and aristocratic, a high flying servant of the German Foreign Office, lives a duplicitous and dangerous life – he abhors the Nazis and wants to kill Hitler! But his vision of seeing a Nazi-free Germany shrinks to despair, when he is unexpectedly assigned to Argentina to keep a watchful eye on the emerging United Officers Group (GOU), a pro-Nazi/Fascist faction of military officers led by the aspiring Juan Domingo Peron. In Buenos Aires, von Menen is sucked into a cauldron of treachery, deceit and revolution, heightened by his secret ideology, the far-reaching threat of the Gestapo and his clandestine dealings with the s...

Erst Metallfieber und Moneten, dann Mannerstraße
Eine 26-köpfige Bande bricht nach nächtlichen Saufgelagen regelmäßig zu nicht selten grotesk verlaufenden Diebestouren in verschiedene Teile Frankens auf, um Altmetall zu stehlen. Der Prozess findet dann über zwei Monate hinweg vor hunderten von Zuhörern in einem Wirtshaussaal statt. Geprägt wird das Gerichtsverfahren von Kämpfen zwischen der Staatsanwaltschaft und der Verteidigung sowie von handgreiflichen Streitigkeiten zwischen den Angeklagten. Durch dieses Zusammentreffen denkwürdiger Umstände stellt der Röthenbacher Metalldiebesbanden-Prozess des Jahres 1952, der hier anhand der Originalgerichtsakten und der Presseberichterstattung tatsachengetreu, aber auch mit einer ordentlichen Portion Humor, rekonstruiert und nacherzählt wird, ein "Highlight" der fränkischen Lokalgeschichte, aber auch ein Unikum der deutschen Rechtsgeschichte allgemein dar. Ein Buch für alle, die sich für unterhaltsam geschilderte fränkische Lokalgeschichte interessieren. Das Vorwort zu dieser Rekonstruktion verfasste der bekannte Strafrechtswissenschaftler Prof. Dr. Dres. h.c. Friedrich-Christian Schroeder.
