Um den Sinn und die Kraft des Rechts zu erschließen, müssen wir weit über die formalen Bausteine staatlicher Rechtsordnungen hinausblicken. Ausgehend von der amerikanischen Bürgerrechtsbewegung und der jüdischen Rechtstradition erkunden Robert Covers bahnbrechende Essays die existenzielle Dichte rechtlicher Weltformung. Nachgezeichnet wird das Wechselspiel von Visionen, Narrativen, tätiger Hingabe und Gewalt, in dem eine unaufhebbare Vielfalt gesellschaftlicher Perspektiven um den Sinn des Rechts ringt. Kaum ein juristischer Autor hat in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten eine so breite interdisziplinäre Rezeption erfahren wie Cover. Mit diesem Band wird sein Werk nun erstmals in deutscher Sprache zugänglich gemacht.

A fear of one’s own emotions can lead people to develop what has been termed emotion- or affect phobia. To deal with this specific kind of phobia, Affect Phobia Therapy (APT) has proven to be useful. In APT, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, and experimental techniques are combined to help the patient to learn to accept and manage emotions again. Research shows that especially people suffering from anxiety or depression and people with avoidant or dependent personality disorders benefit from this method. This book offers a practical explanation of this evidence-based therapeutic method. The eight chapters focus on all different aspects of APT and the underlying theoretical concepts are illustrated with example patient-therapist dialogues. Target Group: psychologists, psychotherapists, students

Sommer 1936. Janna, eine junge Fechterin, soll bei einem alten Freund ihres Vaters Jacq in die Lehre gehen. Von Maastricht aus reist sie über die Grenze nach Aachen. Hier lebt – verwundet und verbittert zurückgekehrt aus dem 1. Weltkrieg – Egon von Bötticher, ein wahrer Meister seiner Kunst. Auf einem einsamen Landgut, das er mit eiserner Hand regiert, unterrichtet er zwei Zwillingsbrüder und organisiert blutige Duelle für Studenten. In diese eigenartige Welt gerät Janna, deren Abneigung gegen den narbenübersäten Egon schon bald in Verliebtheit umschlägt. Welches Geheimnis aber gibt es zwischen ihm und ihrem Vater? Auf der Suche nach Antworten findet sie von Jacq an Egon adressierte Briefe und gerät immer tiefer hinein in die Rätselhaftigkeit des Vergangenen. Nach und nach bricht die Außenwelt in das Landgut ein, und es kommt zu einer dramatischen Auflösung. Bildreich und zugleich präzis zeichnet und koloriert Marente de Moor eine Zeit des Übergangs: Ein Mädchen reift zur Frau, ein Krieg deutet sich an, Unschuld verkehrt sich zu Schuld.

It is showcasing the glorious history of modern Chinese woodcut art: In the 1920s and 1930s, in order to guide the artistic direction of Chinese literary youth, smashed the KMT’s counter-revolutionary cultural " encirclement and suppression", Mr. Lu Xun held a "woodcut workshop" in Shanghai, and cultivated a group of emerging woodcut backbone. These backbones led young artists in various regions of the country to create a large number of realistic works reflecting the suffering and tragic fate of the people at the bottom of the society at that time. They cruelly lashed the dark reality of society and called for national salvation and survival. These young woodcutters sent their woodcut works to Lu Xun, who not only guided their creation personally, but also spared no effort to collect, publicize and promote them to the public. With the active advocacy and support of Mr. Lu Xun, the emerging woodcut movement in China has developed vigorously, driving the modernization of Chinese art and leaving an indelible glorious footprint in the history of Chinese modern culture and art. This complete collection is a companion to the The Complete Collection of Foreign Prints by Lu Xun published in 2014.

Orphanage tourism is the practice, in less developed contexts, where tourist interactions with 'orphaned' children are central to traveller itineraries and experience making. While being attractive to the desire of tourists and volunteers to 'do good' while travelling, underlining orphanage tourism is the fact that the vast majority of children (over 80%) in orphanage institutions are not orphans. Instead they are the victims of intentional attempts by poor families to give children access to education opportunities, and consistent and reliable nutrition. However, such desires are easily exploited, and there are limited means by which families are able to ascertain the veracity around whether children are definitely receiving the care they have been promised. Orphanages themselves are very often for-profit enterprises, where the commodification of good intentions cycle begins and becomes embedded in the tourism supply chain where children become attractions and the focus of tourist consumption, and orphanages become sites of tourism production.
