The Me You Stole
Being overweight isn't a crime--it's just something shameful, Andrea's mother is quick to remind her. But that's to be expected in a world where technology and magic makes body goals and perfection attainable. ***** Andrea's mother has high hopes for a male heir to lead their household. Andrea must find a husband--and fast. Without a perfect body, however, there are few prospects. For Andrea, on the verge of being disowned, the inability to control something as simple as her weight further exemplifies her other failings. She heralds from the noble class, lovers of tech who frown upon mingling with the servant magic wielders. But with only one year to secure the title of the estate, Andrea ha...
Southwestern Desert Resources
The southwestern deserts stretch from southeastern California to west Texas and then south to central Mexico. The landscape of this region is known as basin and range topography featuring to “sky islands” of forest rising from the desert lowlands which creates a uniquely diverse ecology. The region is further complicated by an international border, where governments have caused difficulties for many animal populations. This book puts a spotlight on individual research projects which are specific examples of work being done in the area and when they are all brought together, to shed a general light of understanding the biological and cultural resources of this vast region so that those same resources can be managed as effectively and efficiently as possible. The intent is to show that collaborative efforts among federal, state agency, university, and private sector researchers working with land managers, provides better science and better management than when scientists and land managers work independently.

Religionen im Kontext der Menschenrechte
Muslime, Christen und Atheisten müssen sich auf den pluralistischen Verfassungsstaat einlassen, um eine gemeinsame Grundlage des friedlichen Zusammenlebens zu finden. Dennoch stellt die Religionsfreiheit für religiös Überzeugte oft eine Herausforderung dar, die zuweilen als Provokation empfunden wird. Es fällt schwer, der Überzeugung des anderen, auch der religiös oder atheistisch begründeten, dieselbe Würde beizumessen wie der eigenen. Es gilt, sich eines Urteils über die religiösen Prämissen zu enthalten und auf einer verantwortbaren Grenzziehung zwischen Glauben und Wissen zu bestehen. In diesem Kontext spielen die Menschenrechte eine zentrale Rolle. Religiöse Wahrheit kann nicht mehr unabhängig von Freiheit institutionell gedacht werden – dies garantiert der moderne Rechtsstaat mit der Religionsfreiheit. Die friedliche Kooperation von Religion und Staat gilt es in den verschiedenen Rechtsstaaten und ihren Demokratien zu kultivieren. Adrian Loretan-Saladin vermittelt fundiertes Wissen über die Wechselbeziehungen zwischen staatlichen und religiösen Institutionen.
