Dichtung und Wahrheit, Leben und Werk – dem Geständnis des alten Goethe, in seinen Texten sei mehr Leben niedergelegt, als man ihnen gewöhnlich ansehe, geht Christa Bürger in Goethes Eros nach. Sie folgt dem wunderbaren Geflecht von literarischen und realen Figuren, die sich ineinander spiegeln. Es wird sichtbar, was dieses Leben und dieses Werk antreibt: »Goethes Eros«. Christa Bürgers spannende und engagierte Untersuchung zeigt einen Klassiker, der sich von lebenden Personen inspirieren ließ, um seine literarischen Figuren Leben und Liebe einzuhauchen: So bedingen sich die Schwester Cornelia und die weiße Dame, Friederike zeigt sich als Gretchen oder Käthchen, Helena hat Züge von Schwiegertochter Ottilie. Christa Bürger, geboren 1935, war von 1973 bis 1998 Professorin am Institut für deutsche Sprache und Literatur an der Universität Frankfurt.

When Charles Ohiyesa Eastman, a degreed Dakota physician with an East Coast university education, met Elaine Goodale, a teacher and supervisor of education among the Sioux, they were about to witness one of the worst massacres in U.S. history: the 1890 Wounded Knee Massacre. As Charles and Elaine witnessed the horror, they formed a bond that would carry them across the United States as they become advocates for Native Americans, whistle-blowing the corruption and racism of the nation’s Native American policies.They used their lives to fight for citizenship and equal rights for indigenous people. Charles built a national organization of and for Native Americans that paralleled the NAACP. He brought Indian ways into the popular scouting movement. They each wrote eleven books, lobbied Congress, made speeches, wrote articles, and protested the steady erosion of indigenous rights and resources.In this double biography, social and political history combine to paint vivid pictures of the time. Gretchen Cassel Eick deftly connects the experiences and responses of Native Americans with those of African Americans and white progressives during the period from the Civil War to World War II. In addition, tensions between the Eastmans mirror the dilemmas of gender, cultural pluralism, and the ethnic differences that Charles and Elaine faced as they worked to make a nation care about Native American impoverishment.The Eastmans’ story is a national story, but it is also intensely personal. It reveals the price American reformers paid for their activism and the cost exacted for American citizenship. This thoughtful book brings a bleak chapter in American history alive and will cause readers to think about the connections between Charles and Elaine’s time and ours.
Great Basin National Park, Snake Valley, and Spring Valley cover more than 3,000 square miles across portions of Nevada and Utah, but few people know much about this diverse area. In her Guidebook to Great Basin National Park, Gretchen Baker covers everything a potential visitor needs to know about one of the country's best-kept secrets.The park sits in one of America's driest, least populated, and most isolated deserts. It is a place of significant geological and scenic value, offering unspoiled vistas, abundant wildlife, clean air, and natural attractions. That contrast is one facet of the diversity that characterizes this region. Within and outside the park are phenomenal landscape features, biotic wonders, unique environments, varied historic sites, and the local colors of isolated towns and ranches. Vast Snake and Spring Valleys, bracketing the national park, are also subjects of one of the West's most divisive environmental contests. At stake is what on the surface seems almost absent but underground is abundant enough for sprawling Las Vegas to covet—water.This guidebook not only describes the peaks, glaciers, subalpine lakes, caves, hiking trails, campgrounds, and historical sites but also explores the cultural history of the park and surrounding area. Each chapter addresses the physical attributes and navigational issues of a specific area and includes an in-depth historical overview. The text is complemented by useful maps and historical photographs and makes Great Basin National Park: A Guidebook to the Park and Surrounding Area the most comprehensive book on the region available.It will be essential to naturalists, historians, and tourists interested in exploring the attractions, natural history, and cultural history of the Great Basin.
In Afghanistan's poppy-rich south and southwest, a raging insurgency intersects a thriving opium trade. A new USIP report, How Opium Profits the Taliban, examines who are the main beneficiaries of the opium trade, how traffickers influence the Taliban insurgency as well as the politics of the region, and considers the extent to which narcotics are changing the nature of the insurgency itself.
HORSE SPEAK is not a training method or a technique to make you ride better. It is a practical system for "listening" and " talking" to horses in their language instead of expecting them to comprehend ours. Horse Speak can be used by any individual who works with horses, whether riding instructor, colt starter, recreational rider, or avid competitor. It promises improved understanding of what a horse is telling you, as well as providing simple replies you can use to tell him that you "hear" him, you "get it," and you have ideas you want to share with him, too. The result? Time with your horse will be full of what horse trainer and equine-assisted learning instructor Sharon Wilsie of Wilsie Way Horsemanship calls Conversations, and soon the all-too-common misunderstandings that occur between horse and human will evolve into civil discussions with positive and progressive results! With this book, you can learn Horse Speak in 12 easy steps. Wilsie explains her understanding of equine communication via breath and body language before progressing to the Four Gs of Horse Speak: Greeting, Going Somewhere, Grooming, and Gone. A number of exercises provide practice for regulating your intensity, helping you begin to manage what's going on inside your body, as well as outside. In addition, get ready to sample dozens of ready-made Conversations with your horse, as step-by-step templates and instructional color photographs walk you through the eye-opening process of communicating on a whole new level.
