The market is growing for homeopathic remedies, diets and all kinds of miracle cures. Although homeopathic practitioners in Germany are largely unregulated, their supporters are growing in number. An industry has sprung up around alternative medicine that draws on the mistrust towards the pharmaceutical industry, medicine and the media. Many products are as harmless as they are ineffective – but some are dangerous or even lethal. Beate Frenkel investigates: where is the source of this boom? What role do conspiracy theories play as well as the influence of the internet? Why do politicians and the German Medical Association take so few preventive steps? Powerful examples are backed up with statements from doctors, patients and alternative medicine practitioners.

This book is a classic work by Professor Zhou Meisheng, a renowned Chinese medicine expert and author of "The Moxa Cord." It explores the classification of pulse patterns and their pathological foundations, integrating traditional Chinese medicine insights with modern cardiovascular understanding. Zhou translates abstract concepts of pulse diagnosis into concrete terms, dividing dynamic pulse patterns into two main categories: morphology and rhythm, each with specific subtypes. This pioneering approach offers significant clinical reference and application value in Chinese medicine.

In dieser Studie zu drei Grundbegriffen unserer historisch-politischen Welt verbindet Horst Günther zwei bisher beziehungslos nebeneinander bestehende Arbeitsweisen: die der historischen Semantik - eine philologische Disziplin, die insbesondere von den großen Romanisten Erich Auerbach und Leo Spitzer im Rahmen der europäischen Literaturen zur Meisterschaft entwickelt wurde - und die der wesentlich durch Roman Jakobson geprägten strukturalen Sprachwissenschaft. Horst Günther führt den Wandel von Begriffen an Quellen aus der ganzen europäischen Neuzeit vor. Dabei läßt er die aufbauenden oder polemischen Beziehungen im einzelnen deutlich werden und zieht dadurch den Leser in die historischen Auseinandersetzungen hinein.

"Warum schätzen wir Privatheit, warum sollen wir sie schätzen? Vor dem Hintergrund moderner, liberaler Gesellschaften wird eine normative Theorie des Privaten begründet, die den Schutz des Privaten als funktional auf die Möglichkeit eines autonomen Lebens bezogen sieht. Dabei werden unterschiedliche Dimensionen des Privaten entwickelt: die dezisionale Privatheit individueller Entscheidungen und Lebensweisen; die informationelle Privatheit als Kontrolle über Wissen, das andere von einer Person haben; und die lokale Privatheit geschützter Räume. Probleme der Privatheit von Beziehungen kommen ebenso zur Sprache wie Fragen des Datenschutzes und die normativen Schwierigkeiten im Verhältnis zwischen Öffentlichkeit und Privatheit."

Carol Reed is one of the truly outstanding directors of British cinema, and one whose work is long overdue for reconsideration. This major study ranges over Reed's entire career, combining observation of general trends and patterns with detailed analysis of twenty films, both acknowledged masterpieces and lesser-known works. Evans avoids a simplistic auteurist approach, placing the films in their autobiographical, socio-political and cultural contexts and relating these to the analysis of Reed's art. The critical approach combines psychoanalysis, gender theory, and the analysis of form. Archival research is also relied on to clarify Reed's relations with his creative team, financial backers and others. Films examined include Bank Holiday, A Girl Must Live, Odd Man Out, The Fallen Idol, The Third Man, Night Train to Munich, The Way Ahead, Outcast of the Islands, Trapeze and Oliver!.
