Nearly a century has passed since Kropotkin wrote In Russian and French Prisons, yet his criticisms of the penal system have lost none of their relevance. Prisons- far from reforming the offender, or deterring crime- are, in themselves, "schools of crime". Every year, thousands of prisoners are returned to society without hope, without a trade, or without any means of subsistence, and statistics show that once a man has been in prison he is li...

Jens Jensen was one of America's greatest landscape designers and conservationists. Using native plants and "fitting" designs, he advocated that our gardens, parks, roads, playgrounds, and cities should be harmonious with nature and its ecological processes--a belief that was to become a major theme of modern American landscape design. In "Jens Jensen: Maker of Natural Parks and Gardens, " Robert E. Grese draws on Jensen's writings and plans, ...

The book tells the story of Shakespeare in the German-speaking theatre against the background of German culture and politics in the twentieth century.

In Martin Buber: The Hidden Dialogue, Dan Avnon analyzes and reconstructs Buber's corpus of mature writings. Avnon's novel reading of Buber's diverse writings on the Bible, Christianity, Judaism, philosophy, socialism, Zionism, and the Jewish-Arab conflict is based on his discovery of a 'hidden' code of writing that grants Buber's apparently eclectic works and literary styles a coherent and unifying hermeneutic center.

Inspiriert von mittelalterlichen Vorlagen, variiert Botho Strauß in Die Ähnlichen die alten Themen auf neue Weise: Tod und Liebe, Traum und Wirklichkeit, Gut und Böse.

Der Wettbewerb auf dem Zeitungsmarkt wird härter. Die Auflagen bröckeln. Vor diesem Hintergrund werden Fragen betriebswirtschaftlicher Effizienz zunehmend wichtiger. Besonders schwierig gestaltete sich dieses Problem in der Vergangenheit stets bei Betrachtung journalistischer Arbeit in den Redaktionen, die nur schwer strukturierbar und somit kaum nach Effizienzkriterien gestaltbar erschien. Dieser Band überträgt Erkenntnisse der betriebswirtsc...
