"Never invest beyond theShanhai Pass", as the saying goes.The particular cultural environment and openness make the brain drain in Northeast China extremely serious. However, Miao Qing, a seemingly delicate doctoral student from a famous school, resolutely went northward because she had a personal plan thatwas related to both her father and herself, namely, to design a world-leading large aircraft. Her father once said that just as a poet without imagination must be a lousy poet, a country without advanced aircraft could never escape the fate of a backward country. For this reason, Miao Qing started her career atKunpeng Group, later went to Feiying Company to produce a leading small low-altitude aerial drone, and then sheplayed the leading role in the national G-31 project that designed a stealth supersonic aircraft and made a successful trial flight.

November 2010Verlorener Sohn?
Hermann Brochs Briefwechsel mit Armand 1925-1928
by Hermann Broch, Paul Michael Lützeler
Hermann Broch war ein Schriftsteller mit pädagogischem Ehrgeiz: ethische Wirkung stand im Mittelpunkt seines romanhaften und philosophisch-politischen Werks. Seinem Sohn, dem 1910 geborenen Armand, wollte er die denkbar beste Erziehung angedeihen lassen. So schickte er den Fünfzehnjährigen auf das Collège de Normandie in Clères bei Rouen, an eine Eliteschule der europäischen High Society. Die Einschulung begleitete der Vater – damals noch Fabrikant in Wien – mit philosophischen Briefen über den Sinn von Leben, Tod und Unsterblichkeit. Broch gehörte der expressionistischen Generation an, die in Wissenschaft, Literatur und Kunst die großen Werke der Hochmoderne des 20. Jahrhunderts schuf. Armand aber vertrat die Jugend der Neuen Sachlichkeit: Bei ihm drehte sich alles um Autos und Sport, Reisen und schicke Kleidung. Der Vater gemahnt an den Ernst des Lebens – der Sohn reagiert mit Vorschlägen zur touristischen Feriengestaltung. Der Vater erinnert an die große Wirtschaftskrise – der Sohn will die Vor- und Nachteile bestimmter Rennwagenmodelle diskutieren. Der Vater berichtet von Theaterereignissen aus Berlin – der Sohn denkt ans Amusement in Paris. Am Ende fliegt der Sohn aus dem noblen Collège, weil er wiederholt bei den Abschlußprüfungen versagt, und der Vater resigniert als Erzieher. Brochs philosophisch-literarische Exkursionen sowie seine Analysen der ökonomischen Situation in Europa, aber nicht weniger Armands Schilderungen der kontinentalen jeunesse dorée und ihrer Vergnügungssucht machen den Briefwechsel zu einem spannenden Dokument der 1920er Jahre und zu einem zeitlosen Zeugnis des sich stets wiederholenden Gegensatzes zwischen Vater und Sohn.

January 1978Warenform und Denkform
Mit zwei Anhängen
by Alfred Sohn-Rethel
Die Neuausgabe dieser 1971 vorgelegten Studien, deren außerordentliche Bedeutung für die marxistische Theoriebildung sich inzwischen erwiesen hat, erscheint vermehrt um zwei Arbeiten, die in den für Sohn-Rethel charakteristischen Vorstellungszusammenhang vom gesellschaftlichen Ursprung der Bewußtseinskategorien gehören: 1. »Von der Analytik des Wirtschaftens zur Theorie der Volkswirtschaft« (1936), 2. »Notizen von einem Gespräch zwischen Th. W. Adorno und A. Sohn-Rethel am 16. April 1965«, in dem Fragen der Tauschabstraktion und der »Produktionsform der Philosophie« erörtert worden sind (unveröffentlicht). – Die mit beträchtlicher zeitlicher Verspätung in die neuere erkenntnistheoretische und ökonomische Debatte eingeführten Schriften Sohn-Rethels haben, wie ihre internationale Rezeption bezeugt, im Laufe weniger Jahre überkommene Problemstellungen und Interpretationsweisen gründlich erschüttert. Die Einsicht, daß alle »Probleme der menschlichen Theorie in Wirklichkeit auf Probleme der menschlichen Praxis zurückgehen«, aus der heraus Sohn-Rethel seine Argumentation entfaltet hat, liegt, unter dem Gesichtspunkt der »funktionalen Vergesellschaftung«, in einem ersten Begründungsentwurf in den hier versammelten Studien vor. Sie bilden, insbesondere in ihrer erweiterten Ausgabe, das Fundament einer Theorie, die »sich die Wahrheitsfrage von der Geschichte der Menschheit vorgeben läßt.«

2023Textbook of Korean Medicine
Medicinal drugs and formulations
by Dr. Kenny Kuchta, Prof. Dr. Hans Wilhelm Rauwald, Hans Rausch and Dr. Raimund Royer
The consistent and evidence-based development of Korean medicine in many clinical application areas has significantly improved its international status in recent years. The basis for this development is one of the most important medical books in Korea, the „Donguibogam“, a clinical lexicon of applications compiled about 400 years ago; at that time the traditional work also enjoyed the highest recognition in China. In 2009 it was included in the „Memory of the World“ register of UNESCO. Even now after 400 years, it still serves as a manual for writing prescriptions for many physicians in Korea, and testifies that the understanding of nature and human disease patterns is still current and clinically applicable even in the modern industrialised world. This work provides ■ understanding for Korean medicine, ■ many selected medicinal formulations and their fields of application, ■ the description and evaluation of important traditional single remedies, ■ the corresponding drug monographs with information on analytical testing

March 2002Sein einziger Sohn
Roman
by Clarín, Elke Wehr
Leopoldo Alas, genannt Clarín, wurde 1852 in Zamora, Spanien geboren. Er wuchs in León und Guadalajara auf, wo sein Vater Zivilgouverneur war. 1856 zog die Familie in das nordspanische Oviedo, die Stadt, in der Clarín - nur unterbrochen durch seine Studienzeit -bis zu seinem Tod lebte. Er studierte von 1871-1878 Jura in Madrid und schloß mit einer Doktorarbeit über Das Recht und die Moral ab. In der spanischen Hauptstadt begann er seine journalistische Laufbahn mit Literaturkritiken und Artikeln zu politischen und philosophischen Themen; mit 23 Jahren unterschrieb er zum ersten Mal einen Artikel mit "Clarín". Er sollte der berühmteste Kritiker seiner Zeit werden, gefürchtet wegen seiner scharfen Intelligenz und seiner bissigen Kommentare. Über seinen Doktorvater, den berühmten Pädagogen Francisco Giner de los Ríos, der das spanische Bildungssystem reformierte, wurde er vom Krausismus beeinflußt, einer philosophischen Richtung, die das spanische Geistesleben der zweiten Jahrhunderthälfte bestimmte. Dies verstärkte Claríns Suche nach einem metaphysischen, höheren Sinn der Existenz. 1883 erhielt Clarín den Lehrstuhl für Römisches Recht an der Universität von Oviedo. Sein berühmtestes Werk, La Regenta (dt. Die Präsidentin, 1991), erschien 1885. Heute als der beste spanische Roman des 19. Jahrhunderts anerkannt und auf einer Stufe mit Flauberts Madame Bovary gestellt, erntete der komplexe psychologische Roman, in seiner Zeit aus konservativen Kreisen vor allem Mißachtung und Ablehnung. Clarín schrieb nur noch einen weiteren Roman, Su único hijo von 1890 (dt. Sein einziger Sohn, 2002). Daneben hat er an die 60 Kurzgeschichten verfaßt. Clarín starb 1901 im Alter von nur 49 Jahren. Elke Wehr, geboren 1946 in Bautzen und verstorben 2008 in Berlin, studierte Romanistik in Paris und Heidelberg. Zunächst konzentrierte sie sich auf Italienisch und Französisch, später legte sie ihren Schwerpunkt auf das Spanische. Seit den 1970er Jahren übersetzte sie spanische und lateinamerikanische Prosa ins Deutsche. Elke Wehr lebte in Madrid und Berlin.

The ArtsJuly 2010Richard Lester
by Neil Sinyard, Brian McFarlane, Neil Sinyard
Richard Lester is of the most significant yet misunderstood directors of the post-war era. Indelibly associated with the Beatles and the 'swinging Sixties' because of his direction of A Hard Day's Night and Help and his joyous sex comedy The Knack, Lester has tended to be categorised as a modish director whose heyday passed when that decade's optimism slid into disillusionment and violence. This book offers a critical appreciation and reappraisal of his work, arguing that it had much greater depth and variety than he has been given credit for. His versatility encompasses the Brechtian anti-heroics of How I Won the War; the surreal nuclear comedy of The Bed-Sitting Room and the swashbuckling adventure of The Musketeers films. He has even, in his instinctively iconoclastic manner, cut Superman down to size. The book should win new admirers for a director with a gift of making movies whose visual wit and imaginative imagery reveal an intelligent and enquiring scepticism about heroes and society. Including comments from Lester himself and illustrations from his own private collection, the book is a must for film scholars and enthusiasts alike. ;

Stalemate: There can be no winners
by Hugo N. Gerstl
Thirty-five years ago, Libertyville had a population of 2,000. Its citizens thought it would become the next Atlanta. But it’s now 1989, and the population is down to 278 and falling. The town’s remaining employer, the outdated, money-losing Libertyville Cotton Works, owned by an elderly Holocaust survivor, has been sold to a conglomerate that intends to reap huge tax and political benefits.But two other factions have different ideas. Bishop William Wyatt Walker, spellbinding African-American televangelist whose church takes in $500 million a year in contributions from the poorest of the poor, decides the church has lost touch with the common man and needs a new symbol of salvation – the Libertyville Cotton Works and the 40 acres that surround it. He’ll do whatever it takes to make sure the church gets the property.Meanwhile, a brilliant, Mexican-American lawyer and his militant contingent, faced with “the country’s growing paranoia toward Hispanics,” seeks to create his own Sanctuary Nation. His “army” takes armed control of the cotton works, holding hostages to ensure that the factory and its acreage are deeded to “the first truly Mexican town in the Southeastern U.S.”The stage is set for a Stalemate of epic proportions, a war where there can be no winners. Like James Dickey’s Deliverance, this book is a mixture of a thriller tinged with adventure, camaraderie, dread, and the horror that only an unexpected, unspeakable situation can inflict. Human nature is human nature, and it is impossible to predict how anyone would act if confronted with a similar situation. Powerful and suspenseful, Stalemate explores the best – and the worst – in the human spirit as it thunders toward a spine-chilling climax.International best-selling author Hugo N. Gerstl’s latest work is one you won’t be able to put down – and one you’ll long remember. Published by Pangæa Publishing Group 184 pages – 23 cm x 15 cm

October 2018Julia Mann, die Mutter von Heinrich und Thomas Mann
Eine Biographie
by Dagmar von Gersdorff
Dagmar von Gersdorff, die Erfolgsautorin von Goethes Mutter, legt mit diesem Buch die erste Biografie über Julia Mann vor und enthüllt dabei ganz neue Seiten im Leben der vieldiskutierten Familie Mann. Ein Leben wie ein Roman: Julia Mann wurde an der Südküste Brasiliens geboren. Mit achtzehn heiratete sie den Konsul Johann Thomas Heinrich Mann in Lübeck. In der Hansestadt war sie eine aparte Schönheit mit exotischem Flair. Sie war es, die ein poetisches, musisch-exotisches Element in die nüchterne Lübecker Kaufmannsfamilie brachte. Ihr von stolzen Höhepunkten wie tiefer Tragik gezeichnetes Leben hat das Werk von Heinrich und Thomas Mann weit mehr beeinflusst, als bisher bekannt war. Dagmar von Gersdorff schildert erstmals das Leben der Frau, mit der die berühmteste deutsche Schriftstellerdynastie ihren Anfang nahm.
