Humanities & Social SciencesFebruary 2017East German intelligence and Ireland, 1949–90
Espionage, terrorism and diplomacy
by Jérôme de Wiel
This book is an in-depth examination of the relations between Ireland and the former East Germany between the end of the Second World War and the fall of the Berlin Wall. It explores political, diplomatic, economic, media and cultural issues. The long and tortuous process of establishing diplomatic relations is unique in the annals of diplomatic history. Central in this study are the activities of the Stasi. They show how and where East German intelligence obtained information on Ireland and Northern Ireland and also what kind of information was gathered. A particularly interesting aspect of the book is the monitoring of the activities of the Irish Republican Army and the Irish National Liberation Army and their campaigns against the British army in West Germany. The Stasi had infiltrated West German security services and knew about Irish suspects and their contacts with West German terrorist groups. East German Intelligence and Ireland, 1949-90 makes an original contribution to diplomatic, intelligence, terrorist and Cold War studies.

December 2007Die Zukunft der Werte
Dialoge über das 21. Jahrhundert
by Jérôme Bindé, Frank Sievers, Andreas Jandl
Nietzsches Satz von der Umwertung aller Werte stand als prophetisches Motto über dem 20. Jahrhundert, das zunächst ein unvorstellbares Maß an Barbarei und später das postmoderne anything goes erlebte. Das dritte Jahrtausend konfrontiert uns mit neuen Herausforderungen: Der Fortschritt der Gentechnologie und die Erkenntnisse der Neurowissenschaften zwingen uns, Sein und Sollen des Menschen neu zu bestimmen; unter den Bedingungen der Globalisierung prallen unterschiedliche Wertesysteme aufeinander. Zur Diskussion dieser Fragen hat die UNESCO Wissenschaftler, Künstler und Philosophen zusammengebracht, um ein »Bündnis zwischen Politik und weitsichtigem Denken zu knüpfen« (Jérôme Bindé). Der Band dokumentiert die Beiträge von Jean Baudrillard, Julia Kristeva, Paul Ricœur, Michel Serres, Peter Sloterdijk, Gianni Vattimo, Wolfgang Welsch und anderen.

Handbook of Life Design
From Practice to Theory and from Theory to Practice
by Laura Nota, Jérôme Rossier
People’s lives and careers are becoming ever more unpredictable. The “life-design paradigm” described in detail in this handbook helps counselors and others meet people’s increasing need to develop and manage their own lives and careers. Life-design interventions, suited to a wide variety of cultural settings, help individuals become actors in their own lives and careers by activating, stimulating, and developing their personal resources. This handbook first addresses life-design theory, then shows how to apply life designing to different age groups and with more at-risk people, and looks at how to train life-design counselors. Target Group: Counsellors, coaches, career and vocational advisors.

November 2006Spectaculum 77
Sechs moderne Theaterstücke
by Samuel Beckett, Jerome Kilty, Klaus Händl, Christoph Nußbaumeder, Moritz Rinke, Peter Turrini
Samuel Beckett: Hörspielskizze I, Hörspielskizze II Deutsch von Elmar Tophoven Mit Endspiel (Bd. 2) war Beckett von Anbeginn Autor der Spectaculum-Reihe, in der inzwischen seine sämtlichen Theaterstücke erschienen sind. Seit seinem ersten Hörspiel 1956 spielt diese Gattung in seinem Gesamtwerk eine bedeutende Rolle, nicht zuletzt durch die Motive und Querverweise, die sich wie ein Netz über das »dramatische Werk« legen. Deshalb ist es sinnvoll, wenn aus Anlaß des 100. Geburtstages zwei zentrale Werke für das Radio erscheinen, in denen Samuel Beckett versucht, »aus dem Menschen etwas über den Menschen herauszubringen«. Jerome Kilty: Geliebter Lügner Es sind überaus emotionale Briefe, die sich die berühmte Schauspielerin Stella Campbell und der wohl erfolgreichste Dramatiker des 20. Jahrhunderts Bernard Shaw geschrieben haben. Beide meist verheiratet, aber nie miteinander, konnten über vier Jahrzehnte nicht voneinander lassen und lieferten sich große Liebesbeweise - per Post. Händl Klaus: Dunkel lockende Welt Ein abgetrennter Zeh in einer Ecke, eine Ärztin, die sich mit ihrem Vermieter streitet, ob es einen Gattenmord zu vertuschen oder ein Mutter-Sohn-Drama aufzudecken gilt, eine Wohnung in Leipzig, eine in München, ein Gewirr aus Phantasie und Realität, eine dunkel lockende Welt erzählt uns Händl Klaus. Peter Turrini: Bei Einbruch der Dunkelheit Alois, 15 und heimlicher Dichter, wird in das Herrenhaus des ortsansässigen Komponisten eingeladen. Er muß dort mit Schrecken feststellen, daß es in der Welt der Kunst nicht um Schönheit, sondern um Verrat, nicht um den Ausdruck von Gefühlen, sondern um die bessere Formulierung geht. Christoph Nußbaumeder: Mit dem Gurkenflieger in die Südsee Hier hat ein Autor im erweiterten Europa über Menschen aus Osteuropa geschrieben, die gezwungen sind, im »goldenen Westen« zu Billiglöhnen zu arbeiten. Mitten im Turbokapitalismus schafft Nußbaumeder ein unsentimentales Theaterstück über die »Sklaven des 21. Jahrhundert

Children's & young adult fiction & true stories2021Letters from the Lighthouse
by Tania Postavna
This book is full of daily magic, adventures, kindness, and dreams. It contains seven incredible stories written in letters from the Maldives, Chile, Iceland, Myanmar, Nigeria, and Greece. Six children, the characters of this book, describe their lives and the places where they live; they share their experiences and thoughts; they write about their relationship with their parents and their dreams. These children have a lot in common, despite the fact that they live in different countries and cultures. These letters did not reach their recipients, but they were found by Jerome, the old postmaster of post at the lighthouse, and the seventh story is his. This book is a teleport to different continents, an opportunity to find friends and understand that we are not alone in our worries.
