Exploring the Relationship Between Language and Culture in Dhimal

The Dhimal are an ethnic minority group of some 20 000 people in the southeastern part of Nepal and adjacent parts of India. Their language is linguistically related to the family of Sino-Tibetan languages. They are one of the 59 recognized indigenous groups who lived on what is today Nepali soil long before the Indo-Aryans arrived with their Hindu culture and caste system constituting the ethnic majority group in Nepal today. In Linguistics and Cultural Anthropology, very little is known about the ethnic group of the Dhimals. The author descends from the Dhimal community himself and has presented a dissertation with a wealth of valuable linguistic and ethnographic data. This massive work is likely to become a standard work on the Dhimal community not only in linguistic terms but also with respect to Cultural Anthropology.

Our Godly Sexual Beings

Our Godly Sexual Beings explores scripture and other ancient texts to unveil one of humanity's great mysteries--God's purpose for designing our Godly sexual beings. After thirty years of committed research and study, Donna Mack perceived an essential missing link from the age-old battle of God vs. Satan. While other books have attempted to discuss human sexuality, none have done so with as many biblical and scholarly-backed references as Our Godly Sexual Beings. One fascinating revelation in scripture is just how sacred human sexuality exists for God. The Bible sings with this truth, and Donna dives into this mystery to reveal the greatest love story ever told! With the help of over 1,300 references, Donna uncovers God's design for sex and Satan's influence that morphed this gift into a lie of lust. This book is full of many revelations and truths that will allow the reader to experience freedom from sexual sin, shame, and bondage.

An Awareness of What is Missing

In his recent writings on religion and secularization, Habermas has challenged reason to clarify its relation to religious experience and to engage religions in a constructive dialogue. Given the global challenges facing humanity, nothing is more dangerous than the refusal to communicate that we encounter today in different forms of religious and ideological fundamentalism. Habermas argues that in order to engage in this dialogue, two conditions must be met: religion must accept the authority of secular reason as the fallible results of the sciences and the universalistic egalitarianism in law and morality; and conversely, secular reason must not set itself up as the judge concerning truths ...

Sind Verhaltenstherapie und Zwang - wie immer wieder behauptet - unvereinbar? Schliessen sich Freiheitsentzug und Beziehungsarbeit gegenseitig aus? Endet die Unterbringung von Kindern und Jugendlichen in geschlossenen Heimen sogar in der Deformation ihrer Personlichkeit? In der Kinder- und Jugendhilfe werden diese Fragen seit Jahrzehnten mit immer wieder wechselnden Vorzeichen heftig diskutiert. Nur auf wissenschaftlich belastbare Daten kann sich eigentlich niemand berufen. Bernhard Stadlers empirisch fundierte Studie zu dieser Thematik schliesst damit eine Forschungslucke und widerlegt so manches Vorurteil. Am Beispiel des Madchenheims Gauting und seiner Arbeit mit dissozialen Madchen zeigt er, in welchen Fallen freiheitsentziehende Massnahmen in der Jugendhilfe helfen konnen und wo nicht. Er bezieht dazu subjektive Einschatzungen der Jugendlichen und ihrer Betreuer ebenso ein wie Testergebnisse, Interviews und die Diagnosen eines externen Instituts.
