The Inability to Love
The Inability to Love borrows its title from Alexander and Margarete Mitscherlich’s 1967 landmark book The Inability to Mourn, which discussed German society’s lack of psychological reckoning with the Holocaust. Challenging that notion, Agnes Mueller turns to recently published works by prominent contemporary German, non-Jewish writers to examine whether there has been a thorough engagement with German history and memory. She focuses on literature that invokes Jews, Israel, and the Holocaust. Mueller’s aim is to shed light on pressing questions concerning German memories of the past, and on German images of Jews in Germany at a moment that s ideologically and historically fraught.
Aldo Leopold and the Ecological Conscience
In Aldo Leopold and an Ecological Conscience ecologists, wildlife biologists, and other professional conservationists explore the ecological legacy of Aldo Leopold and his A Sand County Almanac and his contributions to the environmental movement, the philosophy of science, and natural resource management. Twelve personal essays describe the enormous impact he has had on each author, from influencing the daily operations of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the creation of a land-use ethics guide for Forest Service personnel, to much needed inspiration for continuing on in today's large, complex and often problematic world of science. Here is Aldo Leopold as a mentor, friend, and companion and an affirmation of his hope that science will continue to be practiced in the cause of conservation.
Literature and Terrorism
The years following the attacks of September 11, 2001 have seen the publication of a wide range of scientific analyses of terrorism. Literary studies seem to lag curiously behind this general shift of academic interest. The present volume sets out to fill this gap. It does so in the conviction that the study of literature has much to offer to the transdisciplinary investigation of terror, not only with respect to the present post-9/11 situation but also with respect to earlier historical contexts. Literary texts are media of cultural self-reflection, and as such they have always played a crucial role in the discursive response to terror, both contributing to and resisting dominant conception...
Colorado Powder Keg
Downhill skiing is a vital economic engine for many communities in the Rocky Mountain states, attracting 20 million skier days per season. Colorado is by far the most popular destination, with more than two dozen major ski resorts creating a thriving industry that adds billions to the state's coffers. But, many ask, at what cost? Michael Childers traces the rise of Colorado's ski industry alongside that of the burgeoning environmental movement, which sprang up in opposition to rampant commercial development on mountains that had been designated as public lands. Combining official ski resort figures, U.S. Forest Service documents, real estate and tourism records, wildlife data, newspaper arti...
Transnationalism and German-Language Literature in the Twenty-First Century
This book examines how German-language authors have intervened in contemporary debates on the obligation to extend hospitality to asylum seekers, refugees, and migrants; the terrorist threat post-9/11; globalisation and neo-liberalism; the opportunities and anxieties of intensified mobility across borders; and whether transnationalism necessarily implies the end of the nation state and the dawn of a new cosmopolitanism. The book proceeds through a series of close readings of key texts of the last twenty years, with an emphasis on the most recent works. Authors include Terézia Mora, Richard Wagner, Olga Grjasnowa, Marlene Streeruwitz, Vladimir Vertlib, Navid Kermani, Felicitas Hoppe, Daniel Kehlmann, Ilija Trojanow, Christian Kracht, and Christa Wolf, representing the diversity of contemporary German-language writing. Through a careful process of juxtaposition and differentiation, the individual chapters demonstrate that writers of both minority and nonminority backgrounds address transnationalism in ways that certainly vary but which also often overlap in surprising ways.
Digital Convergence - Libraries of the Future
The convergence of IT, telecommunications, and media is changing the way information is collected, stored and accessed. This revolution is having effects on the development and organisation of information and artefact repositories such as libraries and museums. This book presents key aspects in the rapidly moving field of digital convergence in the areas of technology and information sciences. Its chapters are written by international experts who are leaders in their fields.
LEBENSMITTEALLERGIE
Eben noch »99 Luftballons«, jetzt Q10-Antifaltencreme, zack: Lebensmitte. Das ging jetzt doch schnell, findet Susanne M. Riedel und macht sich zwischen Klimakrise und Klimakterium, Feminismus und Feenstaub, Party und Packungsbeilage auf die Suche nach den guten Momenten. Wenn die große Welt schon keine hergibt, müssen die kleinen eben reichen. Mit trotzigem Augenzwinkern richtet sie sich ein in diesem Neuland, besucht Abiball, Junggesellinnenabschied und Rehaklinik, findet ihr Glück auf dem Flohmarkt, entdeckt die Gewitterziege als ihr persönliches Krafttier und übt sich alles in allem im heiteren Welken. »Susanne M. Riedel findet im trüben Fluss des Alltags die Goldnuggets der Komik.« Bodo Wartke »Susanne M. Riedel denkt lustige, tiefsinnige und menschliche Dinge. Deshalb ist es ein Segen, dass man ihre Gedanken hier lesen kann. Und damit gar nicht mehr aufhören möchte.« Lisa Feller »Wie im richtigen Leben: Die kleinen Geschichten sind die wichtigsten! Die, an die wir uns noch lange erinnern – mit einem unvermeidlichen Grinsen.« Gerburg Jahnke »Susannes Blick auf die Welt ist ein Geschenk.« Horst Evers
Ich hab mit Ingwertee gegoogelt
Jenseits der vierzig ist die Autokorrektur des Lebens besonders aktiv: Party heißt jetzt Brunch, aus Fun wird Funktionskleidung und aus der Schwiegermutter eine zickende Zeitbombe. Susanne Riedel hat mächtig Alltag. Davon erzählt sie mit zartbitterem Humor, reichlich Wortwitz und heiterer Unerschrockenheit. Das eigene Leben korrigiert sich gnadenloser, als man denkt. Eben war man noch Ende dreißig, und plötzlich sind die Kinder groß, die Eltern wunderlich und die Freunde sesshaft. Alle haben auf einmal Bäume mit Namen im Garten, backen Brot und laufen Marathon, als gäb's kein Morgen mehr. Susanne Riedel sucht mehr Glitzer im Tag und findet Antworten auf wichtige Fragen: Was hat eine Handtasche mit Therapie zu tun? Kann man sich ein Sixpack auch stricken? Und was will der verdammte Teebeutel mir sagen? Mal wird ein Perlhuhn getöpfert (aus Rache), ein Kater kuriert (aus Gründen) oder ein Hefeteig besungen ("Geh doch, ich sage dir, geh doch!"). Susanne Riedels Geschichten erzählen vom großen Kino der kleinen Momente.
Creativity and Reproduction
The study investigates the engravers’ rise within the French academic system and demonstrates their success in transforming a reproductive medium into a creative and original art genre. In the nineteenth century, graphic artists developed an artistic language that was independent and on par with the original model that they reproduced. The Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture welcomed graphic artists into its ranks in 1655. As talented reproductive artists were able to disseminate works of art produced at the Academy, engravers rose to occupy administrative positions at the compagnie in the eighteenth century. Their success notwithstanding, graphic artists remained unable to overco...
ERiK-Forschungsbericht III
Das ERiK-Projekt erarbeitet durch bundesweite Befragungen die empirische Grundlage zum Monitoring des KiQuTG. Entlang der Handlungsfelder des Gesetzes werden u. a. Daten zu den Bedarfen von Eltern, zur Personalsituation aber auch zu Themen wie Gesundheit von Kindern, sprachliche Bildung oder dem Thema Raum in der Kindertagesbetreuung analysiert. Im vorliegenden Bericht werden - ergänzend zu deskriptiven Auswertungen hauptsächlich amtlicher Daten - Forschungsfragen zur Qualität im Feld der FBBE, die sich aus den deskriptiven Analysen der Daten aus den ERiK-Surveys 2020 ergeben haben, in Vertiefungsanalysen multivariat ausgewertet.
