        »Daß der Mensch zum Menschen werde«

        Dichtungen, Schriften, Briefe

        by Friedrich Schiller, Norbert Oellers, Norbert Oellers

        Friedrich Schiller (1759-1805) war Dichter und Philosoph, Historiker, Arzt und Hochschulprofessor. Vor allem aber gilt er als einer der bedeutendsten deutschen Dramatiker. Werke wie Kabale und Liebe, Wilhelm Tell oder Die Räuber stehen auch international regelmäßig auf den Spielplänen der Theater. Zudem gilt er als wichtigster deutschsprachiger Balladendichter (u. a. Die Bürgschaft, Der Taucher). Charakteristisch für Schillers Werke ist die Macht der Sprache, die für Emotion und Freiheitsdrang zu einer Zeit absolutistischer Herrschaft steht. Prägend für das späte Werk Schillers wurde der Gedankenaustausch mit Geistesgrößen wie Goethe, Herder und Lessing während seiner letzten sechs Lebensjahre im thüringischen Weimar.

        Plant Diversity, Second Edition

        by J. Phil Gibson and Terri R. Gibson, Series Editor: William G. Hopkins

        Plants feed us, clothe us, provide us with the oxygen we breathe, and buffer our environment against change. In short, plants make life possible. Yet scientists estimate that more than 10 percent of the world's approximately 300,000 plant species are at risk of extinction, and huge swaths of tropical forests and other plant communities are being decimated daily. Plant Diversity, Second Edition surveys the world's plant diversity, from green algae through flowering plants, and presents the fascinating natural history and diversity of green plants in a taxonomic and evolutionary context. This title also asks and answers the questions: Why are there so many plant species in the world? And how can so many plants grow together in a given patch of prairie, forest, or wetland? Through the study of plant diversity, students will gain an appreciation of the natural world far beyond the classroom and the study of botany, to an understanding of how our actions impact the world around us. Plant Diversity, Second Edition is suitable as a supplementary text for a biology course or as recreational reading for the interested student.

        Friedrich Schiller

        by Volker C. Dörr, Volker C. Dörr

        In einer Zeit großer politischer Umwälzungen, in Sorge um seine finanzielle Existenz, von Krankheit gezeichnet, schrieb Friedrich Schiller Literatur, die von der Spannung zwischen dem Ideal und dem Leben geprägt ist. Längst sind seine Werke kanonisch geworden, sie werden viel gelesen, oft parodiert und noch häufiger verkürzt – auf die berühmten Dichterworte über das Wahre, Gute, Schöne.

        Plant Ecology, Second Edition

        by J. Phil Gibson and Terri R. Gibson, Series Editor: William G. Hopkins

        Plants are the foundation of ecosystems. They convert energy from sunlight into carbohydrates, direct the cycling of nutrients, shape the hydrologic cycle, and influence weather. Many other ecologically important phenomena are the result of the interactions between plants, animals, fungi, and bacteria, and these natural processes reveal an amazing array of traits and strategies that have allowed plants to survive through the years. Plant Ecology, Second Edition explores these major ecological roles and dynamics of plants and their place in the environment. This reference is a vital tool for students and teachers of plant biology.
