Ich überlasse euch meine Kraft
Ein nahestehender, liebgewonnener Mensch wird vom Schicksal getroffen und macht sich auf, den allerletzten Abschnitt seines Lebensweges zu beschreiten. Was das für alle Beteiligten bedeutet, ist unterschiedlich und geprägt von mitreißenden, aufwühlenden, berührenden Empfindungen, Gedanken und Erlebnissen. Einfühlsam und tröstlich erzählt die Autorin in dieser wahren, ganz nah mitzuerlebenden Geschichte, wie sie den Weg der Sterbebegleitung durchlebte. Viele von uns haben diese Aufgabe schon einmal bewältigen müssen, vielen steht sie noch bevor. Das Buch möchte ermutigen und helfen, mit neuem Blick, angstfrei, mitfühlend, in vertrauensvoller Hingabe und mit viel kraftvoller Zuversicht einen geliebten Menschen auf seinem Abschiedsweg zu begleiten.
Die Todesanzeige im Wandel: Gattungsspezifische Analyse eines Kommunikationsmittels
Seit Anbeginn der Zeit wirkt sich der Tod als allgegenwartiger Begleiter in vielfaltiger Weise auf den Menschen aus. Im Laufe der Jahrhunderte haben Religion, Medizin, historische Ereignisse, technische Neuerungen und dergleichen mehr die Haltungsmodifikation des Menschen gegenuber dem Tod massgeblich beeinflusst. Dieses gilt gleichermassen fur den schriftlich-medialen Bereich, den die Gesellschaft geschaffen hat. Exemplarisch beschaftigt sich die vorliegende Arbeit mit der Veranderung der Todesanzeige hinsichtlich diverser gattungsspezifischer Merkmale. Neben formalen Aspekten wie Aufbau, Form, farbliche Gestaltung etc., werden des Weiteren sprachwissenschaftliche Untersuchungen unternommen, die eine chronologische Motivationsveranderung besagter Textsorte aufzeigen. Die Studie schliesst mit einem Ausblick auf die hiesige Gesellschaft und die damit einhergehenden Neuerungen und Tendenzen, welche im Zusammenhang mit der beschriebenen Textsortenveranderung einhergeh
Widerstand gegen das NS-Regime in Leonfelden und Umgebung (OÖ)
Der österreichische Widerstand gegen das NS-Regime – das ist ein Kapitel der Zeitgeschichte, das auch katholische Priester geschrieben haben, etwa jene, die sich der "Großösterreichischen Freiheitsbewegung" angeschlossen haben. Neben Ordenspriestern waren auch Bauern, (landwirtschaftliche) Arbeiter, Eisenbahner, Schlosser, Wagner, Angestellte beteiligt. Die führenden "Köpfe" dieser Widerstandsgruppe wurden zum Tode verurteilt, andere erhielten empfindliche Haftstrafen. Ein Buch, das aufrührt und betroffen macht. Ein Buch, das zeigt, wie mutig es ist, in einem diktatorischen Regime die Stimme zu erheben und für seine Überzeugungen einzustehen ...

In Defense of Housing
In every major city in the world there is a housing crisis. How did this happen and what can we do about it? Everyone needs and deserves housing. But today our homes are being transformed into commodities, making the inequalities of the city ever more acute. Profit has become more important than social need. The poor are forced to pay more for worse housing. Communities are faced with the violence of displacement and gentrification. And the benefits of decent housing are only available for those who can afford it. In Defense of Housing is the definitive statement on this crisis from leading urban planner Peter Marcuse and sociologist David Madden. They look at the causes and consequences of the housing problem and detail the need for progressive alternatives. The housing crisis cannot be solved by minor policy shifts, they argue. Rather, the housing crisis has deep political and economic roots—and therefore requires a radical response.
Historical Dictionary of Skiing
Skiing is one of the oldest modes of transportation known, predating the wheel with dated artifacts to prove its pedigree. Skiing for sport, however, did not become common until about 150 years ago. The first Winter Olympic Games, held in Chamonix, France in 1924, were the first to introduce skiing as a competition. Events were held in both ski jumping and cross-country skiing. With advances in technology and increased leisure time, the popularity of skiing as a sport has risen exponentially since it was first introduced. The Historical Dictionary of Skiing relates the history of the sport through a comprehensive alphabetical dictionary with detailed, cross-referenced entries on key figures, places, competitions, and governing bodies within the sport. Author E. John B. Allen introduces the reader to the history of skiing through a detailed chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes and an extensive bibliography. This book is an excellent access point for researchers, students, and anyone interested in the history of skiing.

ESPN Sports Almanac 2006
An Englishman's continuing search through space and time for a decent cup of tea . . . Arthur Dent's accidental association with that wholly remarkable book, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, has not been entirely without incident. Arthur has traveled the length, breadth, and depth of known, and unknown, space. He has stumbled forward and backward through time. He has been blown up, reassembled, cruelly imprisoned, horribly released, and colorfully insulted more than is strictly necessary. And of course Arthur Dent has comprehensively failed to grasp the meaning of life, the universe, and everything. Arthur has finally made it home to Earth, but that does not mean he has escaped his fate...
