Wer in ein anderes Land geht, fühlt sich oft fremd - anders als die anderen. Aber auch daheim bleiben schützt vor diesem Gefühl nicht. Es lauert im falschen Job, geht mit seltsamen Freunden ein und aus, tarnt sich als Krankheit oder Vorurteil. Fremdsein fühlt sich nach Isolation an - aber im Grunde ist es ein Gefühl, das verbindet, weil wir es alle kennen. Diese Anthologie versammelt Geschichten über das Fremdsein diverser Autorinnen und Autoren - unter anderem Franz Hohler und Felicitas Pommerening. Alle Einnahmen kommen internationalen Hilfsprojekten für Flüchtlingskinder zu Gute.
Stellen Sie sich vor, um Sie herum dudeln 23 Radiosender gleichzeitig; Sie riechen den Duft aus 3 verschiedenen Parfümerien, spüren das Kratzen des Hemdkragens und das Reiben der Ferse an der Schuhkante, während Ihre Augen gleichzeitig diesen Klappentext lesen möchten ... Klingt unmöglich – ist aber Alltag für Autisten: Reize werden intensiv und ungefiltert wahrgenommen. Besuche in einer Shopping-Mall, mit der Freundin ins Kino? Nur sehr selten, sagt Aleksander Knauerhase: »Anders als nicht-autistische Menschen, die Störendes wie Gespräche an Nachbartischen automatisch ins Unterbewusstsein verschieben, muss ich als Autist viele der auf mich einströmenden Reize bewusst filtern –...

The field of relativistic electronic structure theory is generally not part of theoretical chemistry education, and is therefore not covered in most quantum chemistry textbooks. This is due to the fact that only in the last two decades have we learned about the importance of relativistic effects in the chemistry of heavy and superheavy elements. Developments in computer hardware together with sophisticated computer algorithms make it now possible to perform four-component relativistic calculations for larger molecules. Two-component and scalar all-electron relativistic schemes are also becoming part of standard ab-initio and density functional program packages for molecules and the solid sta...
Muriel Norde shows that linguistic change via the well-attested process of grammaticalization is reversible and that degrammaticalization can occur on all levels: semantic, morphological, syntactic, and phonological. Her careful analysis of the process makes a significant contribution to methods of linguistic reconstruction and language change.

A Ghanaian scholar of religion argues that poverty is a particularly complex subject in traditional African cultures, where holistic worldviews unite life’s material and spiritual dimensions. A South African ethicist examines informal economies in Ghana, Jamaica, Kenya, and South Africa, looking at their ideological roots, social organization, and vulnerability to global capital. African American theologians offer ethnographic accounts of empowering religious rituals performed in churches in the United States, Jamaica, and South Africa. This important collection brings together these and other Pan-African perspectives on religion and poverty in Africa and the African diaspora. Contributors...

What is a grimoire? The word has a familiar ring to many people, particularly as a consequence of such popular television dramas as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Charmed. But few people are sure exactly what it means. Put simply, grimoires are books of spells that were first recorded in the Ancient Middle East and which have developed and spread across much of the Western Hemisphere and beyond over the ensuing millennia. At their most benign, they contain charms and remedies for natural and supernatural ailments and advice on contacting spirits to help find treasures and protect from evil. But at their most sinister they provide instructions on how to manipulate people for corrupt purposes an...
