Edinburgh, 1901. Rose McQuinn agrees to deliver a legacy for a neighbor, but her philanthropic journey takes a dangerous.

Grundgedanke einer Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung ist die Verbreitung eines gesellschaftlichen Bewusstseins dafür, dass das eigene Handeln durchaus auch globale Auswirkungen und Konsequenzen für das Leben künftiger Generationen hat. In diesem Sinne bündelt der vorliegende Sammelband diverse Facetten eines solchen Bildungsanspruchs: Ausgehend von der Darlegung historischer und aktueller Entwicklungslinien in den ersten Kapiteln werden im z...

Mitten im Zweiten Weltkrieg - 1941bis1942 - während die deutschen Offensiven gegen die Alliierten auf den verschiedenen Schlachtfeldern noch mit Erfolgen gekrönt waren, und während die Kolonialdeutschen auf eine baldige Wiederaufnahme der Kolonialaktivitäten hofften, erschienen die Memoirenbände Erfahrungen meiner kolonialen Wanderjahre (1941) und Kalamba Na M'Putu (1942) von Rudolf Asmis. In beiden Bänden vertritt Asmis die Position der «huma...

Synopsis: The emotional separation of boys from their mothers in early childhood enables them to connect with their fathers and their fathers' world. But this separation also produces a melancholic reaction of sadness and sense of loss. Certain religious sensibilities develop out of this melancholic reaction, including a sense of honor, a sense of hope, and a sense of humor. Realizing that they cannot return to their original maternal environ...

Staatliche Fördergeber sollten bei Förderprogrammen zur Legitimation des Mitteleinsatzes Beurteilungen vornehmen können, um den Erfolg von Förderprogrammen zu bewerten. Diese Analysen sind oftmals nicht möglich, da notwendige Gestaltungsvoraussetzungen nicht systematisch vorliegen. Vor diesem Hintergrund verfolgt der Autor in seiner Modellkonzeption das Ziel, entlang des Fördermanagementprozesses Förderprogramme zu analysieren, um Gestaltungsp...

Can a society, a culture, a country, be trapped by its own memories? The question is not easy to answer, but it would not be a bad idea to cautiously say: 'It depends'. This book is about one society - Rwanda - and its culture, traditions, identities, and memories. More specifically, it discusses some of the ways in which ethnic identities and related memories constitute a deadly trap that needs to be torn apart if mass violence is to be eradi...

Untersuchungsgegenstand dieses Bandes sind zentrale Wertungstendenzen in norwegischen und deutschsprachigen Artikeln zu den frühen Theatertexten des norwegischen Schriftstellers und Dramatikers Jon Fosse. Die Studie versteht sich als Beitrag zur Rezeptionsforschung, in dem das Zusammenspiel zwischen der ästhetischen Logik der Fosse'schen Theatertexte und vorherrschenden Erwartungen und Wahrnehmungsgewohnheiten in der Theaterkritik näher beleuc...

Inwieweit kann mit einem rechtsstaatlichen Straf- und Strafverfahrensrecht Vergangenheitsaufarbeitung nach einem Systemwechsel betrieben werden? Welche Maßstäbe und Grenzen setzt das Verbot rückwirkender Bestrafung? Wie ist das Problem der «Rechtsblindheit» zu behandeln? Wie kann man Scheinverfahren rechtlich einordnen? Setzte sich das Versagen der Justiz bei der Verfolgung von NS-Unrecht bei der Verfolgung von DDR-Unrecht fort? Kann die Recht...

Many modern Irish Pittsburghers can trace their roots to immigrants fleeing an Ireland devastated by the Great Potato Famine of the mid-1800s. They migrated to Pittsburgh, a booming industrial town, and worked in the iron and steel mills, the mines, and the railroads. Irish women became domestic servants in such large numbers that "Bridget the Maid" was a stock character on stage and later in films. The immigrants settled in neighborhoods such...

No Miracle examines the role of institutions in bridging the 'digital divide' between rich and poor nations and what that means for the country's integration into a global economy. Shifting the debate from whether institutions are important to economic development to which institutions are important and how to build them, Mitchell Wigdor expertly addresses fundamental shortcomings in the existing development literature by identifying specific ...

Long before white settlers staked claim to the land now known as Bradenton, generations of Native Americans congregated around a natural spring with reputed medicinal and spiritual powers. In 1842, as the second Seminole War ended, Josiah Gates and a hardy band of pioneers labored to put down roots near the spring. They built homes and started businesses, gradually creating the village of Manatee. To the west, another early settler, Dr. Joseph...

Tucked away in southern Greenville County and surrounding the Reedy River, Fork Shoals, one of the county's first settlements, is a region that has been witness to an almost forgotten but proud history. Ancient artifacts, most notably a Clovis point, have been unearthed from these Cherokee hunting grounds, and the only Revolutionary War battle in Greenville County was fought nearby. In the late 1700s, a wave of settlers moved to the vicinity, ...

Description: In a period of tumultuous transition for the church as it moves out of the Christendom era and into the unknowns of the post-Christian era, it is strange that so little has been written about the church's calling out of the dominion of darkness (Satan) and into the kingdom of Light (or, God's dear Son). The very word ecclesia speaks of a people "called out." In the New Testament the theme of spiritual warfare is ubiquitous, and y...

This book is VOL. 16. The trance is essential if a shaman is to reach an "altered stage of consciousness." With the aid of the Ayahuasca plant and chanting, the shaman gradually goes into a trance, and in this state can initiate actions both offensive and defensive in nature. For the amazonian indigenous communities, the shaman is the meeting point among all possible worlds, he is today as relevant as in the past. In the shamanic cosmological ...

Locomotive steam whistles echo no more in the forests of the north California coast. A century ago, Humboldt and Mendocino Counties had more than 40 railroads bringing logs out of the forest to mills at the water's edge. Only one single railroad ever connected to the outside world, and it too is gone. One railroad survives as the Skunk Train in Mendocino County, and it carries tourists today instead of lumber. Redwood and tan oak bark were the...

Posing new questions about realism and the creative power of narratives, Mucignat offers fresh readings of novels by Goethe, Jane Austen, Alessandro Manzoni, Stendahl, Charles Dickens and Gustave Flaubert, to examine the links between the nineteenth-century novel's interest in creating life-like worlds and contemporary developments in science, art and society. Her book evokes the way novels produce imagined geographies that intensify and even ...

The autbor develops a genealogy of epistolary discourse in early modern England. She considers how the examples - from the writings of Gabriel Harvey et al. - manipulate this generic tradition to articulate ideas of community under specific historical and political circumstances.
