I'm going to be totally honest. This is not the kind of book that can help you. It's not a "how-to, " "when-to, " a "what-to-expect" book. It's not even endorsed by anyone remotely connected to the medical profession. (Although a cousin of mine who sells carpeting to doctors' offices not only found it "insightful" and "informative, " but felt that, "if properly vacuumed, it should last a lifetime.") "A fine endorsement, " you say. "But if I ha...
Der Band beginnt im Jahre 814 mit dem Tod des Länderfressers und Massenschlächters Karl, genannt: «der Große».

Die Gleichbehandlung von Mann und Frau ist seit langem ein vieldiskutiertes Thema. Mit der Rechtsprechung zur sogenannten «mittelbaren Diskriminierung» trat ein neuer und vor allem für die Teilzeitarbeit relevanter Gedanke hinzu, der schon nach kurzer Zeit breite Zustimmung fand und sich als «neue Rechtsfigur» etablierte. Mit dieser Untersuchung wird zunächst anhand einer systematischen Gegenüberstellung die Unvereinbarkeit der Rechtsprechung ...
Paul Valent sees that the dialectic is not between "life and death" but between "life and trauma." This text theorizes that the big issues of life can now be approached through the science of traumatology. Through communication with, and observation of, people whose lives have been stretched under stress or disrupted by trauma, the fulfilling components of their lives can be defined, oriented and categorized. It introduces the theory on the ba...
Offers an overview of Jewish conditions in medieval Western Christendom, then moves to a discussion of the changing patterns of Christian-Jewish polemical confrontation. Gilbert Dahan emphasises the shift during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries from a fairly open exchange of views to a concerted Christian effort to convert the Jews.
To enter Anna Maria Ortese's short stories is to surrender to a strangely intimate voice and a disturbing vision of enchantment: a realm of the imagination just beyond the senses, yet grounded to life in all its complexity. Her deceptively forthright tales include a chance encounter with a 112-year-old pixie, a walk through Jesus and Mary's celestial flower garden, a midnight journey through the Milan train station, a haunting tale of forbidde...

The answer to the question "How can we understand and use a definition?" provides new constraints on natural language and on the internal language in which meaning is mentally represented. Most syntax takes the sentence as the basic unit for well-formedness, but definitions force us to focus on words and phrases, and hence to focus on compositional syntax in parallel with compositional semantics. This study examines both dictionary definitions...

A tremendous interest in the decolonization of Africa, efforts to have an African American voice heard in the United Nations and in domestic debates about America's diplomacy, and protest against the Vietnam War we...
