        by Silver Hesse, Karl-Josef Kuschel, Volker Michels

        »Volker Michels hat mit der Erschließung, Edition und Kommentierung der Werke und Briefe Hermann Hesses eine unvergleichliche Lebensleistung erbracht. Anlässlich seines 80. Geburtstags sagen Kollegen, Freunde und Weggefährten Dank. Und wie stattet man diesen Dank einem Hesse-Forscher besser ab als damit, dass man die Orte im Leben des Schriftstellers noch einmal in Erinnerung ruft, die Hesse erlebt, die aber auch seine hier versammelten Beiträger/-innen erlebt haben. Die subjektive Perspektive ist in diesem Band konzeptionell gewollt. Wir haben unsere Autorinnen und Autoren direkt gefragt: Verbinden Sie mit diesem Ort persönliche Erinnerungen? Inspiriert er Sie zu Reflexionen über Hesse als Person und Dichter? Stellt der Ort Ihnen Fragen, die Sie gern an Hesse richten würden? Kurz: Wir Herausgeber wollten, dass über eine bloße Beschreibung des Ortes hinaus die Verfasser/-innen ihre Reflexionen und ihr persönliches Erleben mit dem jeweiligen Hesse-Ort erkennen lassen. In diesem Doppelsinn ist der gewählte Titel zu verstehen: Hermann Hesse. Erlebte Orte. Volker Michels zum 80. Geburtstag.« Die Herausgeber Silver Hesse und Karl-Josef Kuschel

        Humanity in the Crisis Zone

        Field Report of a Nurse on H umanitarian Aid with Doctors Without Borders (MSF) in South Sudan

        by Andreas F. Lutz

        A hospital somewhere in remote South Sudan. A place where peoples’ lives are marked by extreme poverty, war, vio­lence, the climate crisis and the daily struggle for survival. How does it feel to be human under these conditions? What moves someone to voluntarily go where nobody would want to? Andreas Lutz takes you on a journey to a project run by the humanitarian aid organization Médecins Sans Frontières in the north­east of South Sudan. Im­pressed by encounters with people who live under the precarious condi­tions of this crisis zone, he writes about his experiences as a caregiver and, among other things, about how health­care provision works with very limited resources.

        Is the Brain Rational?

        The Findings of a Neuropsychologist

        by L. Jäncke

        This book takes the reader on a fascinating journey, demonstrating in an understandable and entertaining way how the brain affects our thoughts, actions, and feelings - and that this sometimes only peripherally involves reason. It shows, that the subconscious actually exists and how it affects us, how we arrive at both right and wrong decisions, how our memory works, how fragile it can be, and yet also how robust. Using insightful experiments and the latest research results, including many examples, this book presents the reader what an incredibly impressive thinking organ the brain actually is – even if it is not a purely “rational machine”.   Target Group: For people interested in the results of research into the workings of the brain in the areas of decision-making, memory, and consciousness.

        The Body that I am

        What to Learn from Our Body Awareness

        by Adrian Mühlebach

        Nothing is closer to us than our body ­ and yet we are only l ittle or not at all aware of it! Our body often plays the deci­sive role in our life: as the basis of our existence, in the regu­lation of our well­being as well as in our behavior control. Nevertheless, we perceive it far too seldom attentively. Our body perception is a dynamic, circular, self­changing pro­cess, because it is only through individually and collectively created ideas that we can turn body sensations into body perceptions. In this respect, our body perception is diffcult to grasp (scientifcally), since it is barely accessible via ob­jective observation, but exists only in our subjective con­sciousness. In this book, body perception is therefore exam­ined from the perspective of various disciplines such as philosophy, psychology, physiology, and history, in order to refect on its signifcance for our lives and to demonstrate its usefulness in view of the challenges of our time.

        In the Dementia Maze

        A Graphic Novel

        by Albin Zauner

        Is it possible to tell in drawings how people with dementia experience, cope with, or fail in their everyday lives? The art therapist Albin Zauner has accom­plished this feat. The picture story comprises 84 drawings and is one of the frst graphic novels on the subject of dementia. The focus is not on the medical­pathologizing view of the dis­ease pattern or course, but on the pro­tagonist’s inner world of experience. The existential effects, the loss of spa­tial and temporal orientation, the memo­ry lapses and the breakdown of speech, permeate the old man’s world of experi­ence in symbolic image sequences.

        Loose Connection

        by Fe Strack, Xiaying Lin, Martina Schlegl

        Jojo and his best friend Charly’s class often do silly things, and then something goes wrong. But nobody would have thought that things could also go wrong in someone’s head. However, everything suddenly changes when Jojo falls over in phys ed and has to go to the hospital. Jojo seems to be afraid of school and then the others make fun of him. Jojo explains to Charly that he has an illness called epilepsy. This means that lots of nerve cells in the brain are silly in the same way all at once – so that, for a short time, some things don’t work for him like they should. Their classmates must be able to understand that, Charly thinks. And then Charly and Jojo have a brilliant idea. This story aims to help children affected by epilepsy to understand their condition better, and should help accompanying adults to explain the different forms of epilepsy in a way that is appropriate for children. For:• children of elementary school age(between 6 and 12 years) who sufferfrom epilepsy• parents and relatives• therapists
