Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2010Using Europe: territorial party strategies in a multi-level system
by Eve Hepburn
This book explores how regional political parties use Europe to advance their territorial projects in times of rapid state restructuring. It examines the ways in which decentralization and supranational integration have encouraged regional parties to pursue their strategies across multiple territorial levels. This book constitutes the first attempt to unravel the complexities of how nationalist and statewide parties manoeuvre around the twin issues of European integration and decentralization, and exploit the shifting linkages within multi-level political systems. In a detailed comparative examination of three cases - Scotland, Bavaria and Sardinia - over a thirty-year period, the book explores how integration has altered the nature of territorial party competition and identifies the limits of Europe for territorial projects. In addressing these issues, this work moves beyond present scholarship on multi-level governance to explain the diversity of regional responses to Europe. By providing important new insights and empirical research on the conduct of territorial party politics, and an innovative model of territorial mobilization in Europe, this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of comparative politics, European studies, regionalism and federalism, political parties and devolution. ;

November 2017The Secret of La Rosa
by Donald Willerton
It was just a short cross-country ski outing over the Christmas break for Mogi Franklin and his sister, Jennifer–until they find themselves suddenly caught in a vicious blizzard. Near collapse, they ski into a mysterious valley with an ancient hacienda, a busy Spanish family, and a village with no electricity, no plumbing, no cars, no phones, and definitely no Walmart.A vacation that began a few days earlier helping his Granddad clean and decorate for a huge family celebration had now become a mind-boggling mystery. And young Mogi's anguish trying to come to terms with his grandmother's death from cancer the previous Christmas turns to fear and danger when he is accused of stealing a religious icon the town prizes above all others–and which holds the key to solving an ancient legend of missing Spanish gold.It's the latest book of the exciting Mogi Franklin Mysteries–shadowy figures, secret societies, a town like no other. Is this all reality or illusion? Mogi must find the answers, even as he struggles with the memory of his grandmother's death and the mysteries of faith it brought him which he now must answer as well.

The Train in Snowstorm
by Lin Jing, Shang Jinchang
The picture book tells the story of a little boy living in a tree farm in northeast China in the 1970s who took a train with his father for the first time in the winter, encountered a snowstorm on the way, waited for help, and struggled for self-rescue. The story, though with clear and simple clues, has rich connotations and strong appeal. It shows not only how valuable family love is but also the selflessness and greatness of humans for being patient, resilient, and mutually assisting in the face of adversity and disaster. Furthermore, it demonstrates the glorious belief of Chinese soldiers that the interests of the people are above all else.

June 2009Charles Darwin und seine Wirkung
by Eve-Marie Engels
Mit seiner Abstammungstheorie legte Charles Darwin den Grundstein für die Herausbildung der Biologie als Naturwissenschaft. Er schuf damit einen Rahmen, der es ermöglichte, die verschiedenen biologischen Disziplinen in einen systematischen Zusammenhang zu bringen, ihre Ergebnisse aus einer einheitlichen Perspektive neu zu deuten und weitere Forschungsfelder zu erschließen. Dieser Prozeß der theoretischen Integration verlief nicht immer reibungslos. Darwins revolutionäre Wirkung betrifft neben der Biologie auch unser Menschen- und Naturbild. Die Einbettung des Menschen in die Evolution des Lebendigen beinhaltet Herausforderungen für Ethik, Erkenntnistheorie und andere Geistes- und Humanwissenschaften. Der Sammelband gibt einen Überblick über Darwins Wirkung in diesen verschiedenen Kontexten.

October 1989Erkenntnis als Anpassung?
Eine Studie zur Evolutionären Erkenntnistheorie
by Eve-Marie Engels
Die Verfasserin unterzieht die derzeit im deutschsprachigen Raum vorherrschende Variante der Evolutionären Erkenntnistheorie (Konrad Lorenz, Gerhard Vollmer, Rupert Riedl) einer detaillierten Kritik, die jedoch nicht auf die Zurückweisung einer Evolutionären Erkenntnistheorie als solcher zielt, sondern dem Entwurf einer von überzogenen Ansprüchen bereinigten Version dieser Theorie dienen soll. Indem die Autorin durch Begriffsanalysen und -explikationen die terminologische Unscharfe der Evolutionären Erkenntnistheorie behebt, konsequent von den bisher nicht ausgeschöpften theoretischen Mitteln und Deutungsmöglichkeiten der Evolutionstheorie Gebrauch macht, in ihrer Skizze der »kognitiven Kompetenz« des Menschen gegenüber dem Angeborenen die biologische Relevanz der Flexibilität menschlichen Erkennens in den Vordergrund stellt und die systematische Bedeutung von Piagets genetischer Epistemologie für die Evolutionäre Erkenntnistheorie demonstriert, gelingt ihr ein überzeugendes Plädoyer für die Möglichkeit einer gemäßigten Version dieser Theorie.
