Im Zwischenraum der Zeilen möchte ich die schmerzhaft schöne Welt, der tiefsten Gefühle zum Leben erwecken. Wie ein sanfter Schleier werden die Worte dich umhüllen und dich zum gemeinsamen Tanz verführen. Durch jede Zeile fließt die Intensität der Gefühle und die zerbrechliche Anmut, die in den Momenten zwischen Zerrissenheit, Liebe und Verlust liegen. Dieses Werk ist eine Ode an die Sehnsucht, die Melancholie und die Verletzlichkeit des Herzens. Komm mit mir auf die Reise und entdecke mit mir die Schönheit der Unvollkommenheit.
Ganz schnell brach die Zeit der Masken an. So manchen warf sie aus der Bahn, nicht jeder kam heil aus den pandemischen Wirren. Die Gedichte führen in unser Nachbarland Tschechien, ein Besuch in Prag wird abgestattet. Friedenslinien in Nordirland kommen in Sichtweite. Der Leuchtturmwärter steigt die Stufen hinauf. Ungelebtes Leben rückt an uns heran, die Ablagerungen nach versagten Freiheiten. In den Büchern stehen die Namen von Königen, vom Scheitern wird zu wenig geredet. Rote Listen wachsen, welche Vögel kommen noch einmal zurück? Göttinnen unter sich zelebrieren ihre Auren. Weltenschach wird gespielt. Die Kompassnadel der Weißen Rose stellt Fragen: Was muss heute Orientierung sein? Glückstage schneiden sich ein, sanfte Umarmungen, Küsse. Die Spinnenverstecke finden sich nach dem Winter.

This open access book focuses on the meanings, agendas, as well as the local and global implications of bioeconomy and bioenergy policies in and across South America, Asia and Europe. It explores how a transition away from a fossil and towards a bio-based economic order alters, reinforces and challenges socio-ecological inequalities. The volume presents a historically informed and empirically rich discussion of bioeconomy developments with a particular focus on bio-based energy. A series of conceptual discussions and case studies with a multidisciplinary background in the social sciences illuminate how the deployment of biomass sources from the agricultural and forestry sectors affect societ...

This book addresses recycling technologies for many of the valuable and scarce materials from spent lithium-ion batteries. A successful transition to electric mobility will result in large volumes of these. The book discusses engineering issues in the entire process chain from disassembly over mechanical conditioning to chemical treatment. A framework for environmental and economic evaluation is presented and recommendations for researchers as well as for potential operators are derived.
As indicated by the diversity of the authors' physical locations, COVID and emergency-remote teaching affected Higher-Education-Institutions at a nearly global scale. Authors in this issue come from European countries (Switzerland, Germany), North America (the USA) as well as the southern hemisphere (South Africa). Given the breadth of COVID-related (change) experiences, the insights presented in this issue can be relevant to many HEIs across the globe, notwithstanding their cultural and institutional specificities. In addition, and of high relevance to us, the articles collected here focus both on different positions or roles (students, faculty, management) as well as on different levels of teaching and learning in higher education. While most contributions focus on the student experience during COVID, others investigate faculty/instructors' perspectives including faculty development. Yet another group takes a more systemic, institutional point of view. It could be argued that higher-education research takes up a multi-level perspective when exploring change and the new normal.
The first systematic analysis and explanation of the political success of the Israeli settler movement. Based on a comprehensive original theoretical framework and rich empirical analysis, this book provides key new insights for the study of both Israeli politics and social movements in general.
This book presents a radically new approach of how societies can bring corruption under control. Since the late 1990s, the detrimental effects of corruption to human well-being have become well established in research. This has resulted in a stark increase in anti-corruption programs launched by international organizations such as the World Bank, the African Union, the EU, as well as many national development organizations. Despite these efforts, evaluations of the effects of these anti-corruption programs have been disappointing. As it can be measured, it is difficult to find substantial effects from such anti-corruption programs. The argument in this book is that this huge policy failure c...
Astrid Lindgren, author of the famed Pippi Longstocking novels, is perhaps one of the most significant children's authors of the last half of the twentieth-century. In this collection contributors consider films, music, and picturebooks relating to Lindgren, in addition to the author's reception internationally. Touching on everything from the Astrid Lindgren theme park at Vimmerby, Sweden to the hidden folk songs in Lindgren's works to the use of nostalgia in film adaptations of Lindgren's novels, this collection is distinguished by its intermedial and international scope in the realm of Lindgren research.
