The Way of Ayurvedic Herbs
Ayurvedic herbs have reached the mainstream of health care - now two experts teach you about the earth's oldest healing system.
Phytopharmacy
Healthcare professionals, including doctors, pharmacists and nurses, are often confronted with patients who use over-the-counter (OTC) herbal medicinal products and food supplements. While taking responsibility for one’s own health and treatment options is encouraged, many patients use these products based on limited (and sometimes inaccurate) information from non-scientific sources, such as the popular press and internet. There is a clear need to offer balanced, well-informed advice to patients, yet a number of studies have shown that, generally, conventionally trained health practitioners consider their knowledge about herbal medicinal products and supplements to be weak.

Writing Emotions
After a long period of neglect, emotions have become an important topic within literary studies. This collection of essays stresses the complex link between aesthetic and non-aesthetic emotional components and discusses emotional patterns by focusing on the practice of writing as well as on the impact of such patterns on receptive processes. Readers interested in the topic will be presented with a concept of aesthetic emotions as formative both within the writing and the reading process. Essays, ranging in focus from the beginning of modern drama to digital formats and theoretical questions, examine examples from English, German, French, Russian and American literature. Contributors include Angela Locatelli, Vera Nünning, and Gesine Lenore Schiewer.
Österreich im Blick
Die Berechtigung des Begriffes "Nation" wird glücklicherweise zunehmend infrage gestellt, allerdings gibt es nach wie vor ein Konstrukt, das wir "Österreich" nennen und dem wir eine bestimmte Geschichte und – zunehmend diverse – kulturelle Identität zuschreiben. Das vorliegende Heft möchte keine Festschreibung, wohl aber eine aktuelle Befragung dieser "Imagination Österreich" durchführen, auch wenn das ein fragmentarisches und kontingentes Unterfangen sein wird, das notwendigerweise auch immer wieder in ironischer Distanzierung zu sich selbst betrieben werden muss. Was dieses Heft dennoch leisten kann, sind Einblicke in das kulturelle Leben in Österreich, deshalb werden hier aktuelle Entwicklungen in den Bereichen Literatur, Tanz, Film und Musik gezeigt und auch in didaktischen bzw. bildungspolitischen Kontexten betrachtet. Zudem eröffnet das Heft vielfältige Perspektiven auf das Themenfeld Sprache – Identität – Zugehörigkeit und stellt damit nicht zuletzt die Frage nach der (historischen und gegenwärtigen) Konstituierung eines "Wir".
