Oceanography and Marine Biology
Ever-increasing interest in oceanography and marine biology and their relevance to global environmental issues creates a demand for authoritative reviews summarising the results of recent research. Oceanography and Marine Biology: An Annual Review has catered to this demand since its founding by the late Harold Barnes fifty years ago. Its objective

Im nun folgenden, als Abschluss gedachten Teils der Unterrichtseinheit sollen die SuS in einem Planspiel die Perspektive verschiedener spezifischer Akteure im Afg...
Framing the War. The Use of Metaphors in US Political Discourse
Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject American Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,7, University of Marburg, language: English, abstract: When it comes to framing the war linguistically, metaphors have always been key for many politicians in conveying their message and distinguishing in a simplistic manner between good and evil. Employing metaphors in political discourse helps politicians simplify their content and make the audience understand their message more clearly, as Lakoff notes: “Abstractions and enormously complex situations are routinely understood via metaphor” (1991: 25). Lakoff further describes the use of metaphors as something not necessarily good or bad, but rather depicts it as a stylistic device that is widely common even in everyday language. Therefore, it seems highly interesting to look even closer at how metaphors are being used in the context of war-related speech in the United States. The focus of this paper will be on metaphors used in the State of the Union Address, since I assume that the latter is perfectly suited for an exemplary analysis of how war-related metaphors are constructed and which specific purpose they serve.
What is Holding You Back?!!!!
Whenever humans are going through difficult times, they should realize that God is always ready to rescue them from their predicaments. However, humans have short memories; they soon forget how bad things were for them before God's rescue. Therefore, instead of moving closer to God, they perceive a smaller problem as being bigger than the ones from which God had saved them. God is always faithful, and He never changes at all. He expects all to put their trust in Him since He is able and eager to solve human problems according to His will. The Lord is great, and so is His faithfulness. God demonstrated His great love to all humans that he allowed His son to be sacrificed to save them all. Christ gave so much importance to human life that He gave His own life to save theirs. Therefore, there should be nothing to hold humans back from doing His will or from achieving the best that God has in store for all.
Between Manuscript and Print
A cross-cultural, comparative view on the transition from a predominant ‘culture of handwriting’ to a predominant ‘culture of print’ in the late medieval and early modern periods is provided here, combining research on Christian and Jewish European book culture with findings on East Asian manuscript and print culture. This approach highlights interactions and interdependencies instead of retracing a linear process from the manuscript book to its printed successor. While each chapter is written as a disciplinary study focused on one specific case from the respective field, the volume as a whole allows for transcultural perspectives. It thereby not only focusses on change, but also on simultaneities of manuscript and printing practices as well as on shifts in the perception of media, writing surfaces, and materials: Which values did writers, printers, and readers attribute to the handwritten and printed materials? For which types of texts was handwriting preferred or perceived as suitable? How and under which circumstances could handwritten and printed texts coexist, even within the same document, and which epistemic dynamics emerged from such textual assemblages?
The Depiction of Homosexuality in US-American Movies and Its Reception in Society
Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,7, University of Marburg, language: English, abstract: According to Epstein and Friedman, the engagement of America’s film industry with ho- mosexuality in general has always been a sensitive issue and still is up to today. Although quite a few people working in Hollywood, “in all aspects of moviemaking, from producing to performing”, are openly homosexual, the industry’s main players are still reluctant to intensively approach this “prime phobia in Hollywood” (Hilliard 9). From the first signs of homosexuality in Dickson’s “Dickson Experimental Sound film” (1895) over...
Revenge in Shakespeare’s "Julius Caesar", "Henry IV (Part One)" and "Titus Andronicus"
Essay from the year 2014 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Literature, Works, grade: 1,0, , course: Shakespeare I, language: English, abstract: “[T]he action of hurting or harming someone in return for an injury or wrong suffered at their hands“, as the Oxford Dictionary defines ”revenge”, which is a central motif in many of William Shakespeare’s works. Be it the classical avenging form of revenge, or more subtle ones, it is key to a proper understanding of Shakespeare’s oeuvre. We need to focus especially on "Julius Caesar" and "Titus Andronicus", but might also be able to see certain depictions of revenge in "Henry IV (Part One)". Generally speaking, “revenge in its cruelest forms is an element in every category of [Shakespeare’s] plays except the ’happy’ comedies” (Kimpel 120).

Übertiere
Über ein Jahrhundert hinweg wurde uns von der Wissenschaft die Vorstellung von Tieren als Reiz-Reaktions-Automaten vermittelt, die unbewusst, instinktgesteuert und ihren Trieben unterworfen durchs Leben laufen, fliegen, schwimmen. Nur ist dies alles einfach nicht wahr. Die moderne Verhaltensforschung hat in wenigen Jahren mit einer Flut an Erkenntnissen über das geistige und seelische Innenleben der anderen Tiere aufgedeckt, dass die sorgfältig konstruierte Grenze zwischen Menschen und allen anderen Tierarten ein Hirngespinst ist. Von der Mücke bis zum Menschenaffen verbindet uns eine gemeinsame Struktur, die uns durch das Leben leitet: die der Gefühle und Gedanken. Dieses Buch bringt dafür eine Fülle an Belegen: Ameisen können zählen, Krabben berechnen Wege und Guppy kann lesen. Hühner führen inhaltliche Gespräche, Mäuse empfinden Mitleid und der Rhesusaffenmann schaut sich gerne Pin-ups an. Wir begegnen Seelenverwandten, in denen wir uns wiedererkennen können. Das Fundament für ein neues Wir-Gefühl.
