Wie war das alles möglich? Roger Schawinski, der erfolgreiche Schweizer Radio- und Fernsehpionier, zieht Bilanz. 51 Jahre nach seiner ersten Fernsehsendung, 46 Jahre nach der Gründung des erfolgreichsten Schweizer TV-Magazins tritt Roger Schawinski von der Fernsehbühne ab und fragt sich: Weshalb ist mir das alles gelungen? In seinem neuen Buch «Die Schawinski-Methode. Erfolgsrezepte eines Pioniers» versucht Schawinski erstmals, die gemachten Erfahrungen systematisch zu beleuchten – seine Methoden, seine Prinzipien und seine Vorgehensweisen, die ihn zu einem äusserst erfolgreichen Unternehmer werden liessen. In 15 kurzen Kapiteln zeigt Roger Schawinski, was es heute braucht, um erfolgreich im kompetitiven Wirtschaftsleben bestehen zu können und gleichzeitig sich selber treu zu bleiben. Gibt es noch eine klitzekleine Chance auf eine erfolgreiche Verhandlung? Was macht mir Freude? Was treibt mich an? Welche Fehler gilt es zu vermeiden? Roger Schawinski ist Vieles gelungen, aber Einiges ist auch schiefgegangen. Seine Erfolgsrezepte und Fehleinschätzungen gibt er in diesem Buch weiter.

The dark history of eugenic thought in Germany from the nineteenth century to today—and the courageous countervoices Between 1939 and 1945, Nazi genocide claimed the lives of nearly three hundred thousand people diagnosed with psychiatric illness or cognitive deficiencies. Not until the 1980s would these murders, as well as the coercive sterilizations of some four hundred thousand others classified as “feeble-minded,” be officially acknowledged as crimes at all. The Question of Unworthy Life charts this history from its origins in prewar debates about the value of disabled lives to our continuing efforts to unlearn eugenic thinking today. Drawing on a wealth of rare archival evidence, ...
Considered to be the world’s foremost post-Jungian thinker, James Hillman is known as the founder of archetypal psychology and the author of more than twenty books, including the bestselling title The Soul’s Code. In The Making of a Psychologist, we follow Hillman from his youth in the heyday of Atlantic City, through post-war Paris and Dublin, travels in Africa and Kashmir, and onward to Zurich and the Jung Institute, which appointed him its first director of studies in 1960. This first of a two-volume authorized biography is the result of hundreds of hours of interviews with Hillman and others over a seven-year period. Discover how Hillman’s unique psychology was forged through his life experiences and found its basis in the imagination, aesthetics, a return to the Greek pantheon, and the importance of “soul-making,” and gain a better understanding of the mind of one of the most brilliant psychologists of the twentieth century.

Though the Reformation was sparked by the actions of Martn Luther, it was not a decisive break from the Church in Rome but rather a gradual process of religious and social change. As the men responsible for religious instruction and moral oversight at the village level, parish pastors played a key role in the implementation of the Reformation and the gradual development of a Protestant religious culture, but their ministry has seldom been examined in the light of how they were prepared for the pastorate. Teaching the Reformation examines the four generations of Reformed pastors who served the church of Basel in the century after the Reformation, focusing on the evolution of pastoral training...
This book examines the ways in which the Swiss defined their national identity in the long nineteenth century, in the face of a changing domestic and international background. Its narrative begins in 1761, when the first Swiss patriotic society of national significance was founded, and ends in 1891, when the Swiss celebrated their 600-year existence as a nation in a monumental national festival. While conceding that the creation of a nation-state in 1848 marked a watershed in the history of Swiss nation-formation, the author does not focus one-sidedly - as many others have done - on the activities of the nationalizing state. Instead, he attributes a key role to the competitive and contentious struggles over the shaping of public institutions and over the symbolic representation of the nation. These struggles, to which the nation-state and civil society contributed in equal measure, were framed increasingly along national lines.
Around the world, negotiation is the only tool people have to make collective decisions when there must be unanimity. Like any other social activity, negotiation exhibits both universal patterns determined by the finite possibilities of its nature and local variations determined by cultural practices. Universalities predominate if one digs deep enough, and peculiarities abound in surface manifestations. This text investigates how deep is deep enough, and how shallow the surface, and attempts to find the meeting line. As more and more individuals meet around the negotiation table, providing conditions for cultural encounters, and clashes, this volume examines the actors involved, the role culture plays, and the role of organizations.
