        Komplexitäten

        Warum wir erst anfangen, die Welt zu verstehen

        by Sandra Mitchell, Sebastian Vogel

        Eine neue Herausforderung für die Wissenschaft: Die Welt ist komplex, also sollten es auch unsere Vorstellungen von ihr sein. Viele Disziplinen der Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften haben sich lange an diese Maxime gehalten. Die Naturwissenschaften aber haben traditionell nach einfachen, universalen und zeitlosen Gesetzen gesucht. Damit wollten sie die "schwirrende Verwirrung" ("blooming, buzzing confusion", William James) erklären, die die ungeschulten Sinne dem Geist präsentieren. Aber dieses Unternehmen ist gescheitert. Sandra Mitchell zeigt, daß uns die Komplexität der lebendigen Welt dazu zwingt, unsere Denkmodelle radikal zu revidieren und nach einer adäquateren Erkenntnislehre zu suchen. Dazu hat die Systemtheorie Vorgaben geliefert, die seit einigen Jahren von der Komplexitätstheorie spezifiziert worden sind. Komplexe Systeme – wie die Welt, in der wir leben – zeichnen sich unter anderem durch Emergenz und Relationen aus: Was auf der Makroebene sichtbar wird, ist erst durch Wechselwirkungen zwischen den Elementen des Systems zu erklären. Wohin zum Beispiel ein Vogelschwarm fliegt, hängt nicht nur von den Individuen ab, sondern vor allem von Feedbackprozessen zwischen ihnen. Mitchell fordert deshalb: Wer die Welt verstehen will, muß auch verstehen lernen, warum das Ganze tatsächlich mehr ist als die Summe der einzelnen Teile.

The little fox child Fuzzy is excited: the animals in the forest are having a party and there will be cake, presents and a treasure hunt. Fuzzy has a sweet tooth and chows and chows, tears up his present, and would prefer to keep the treasure for himself.  "Don't spill and make a mess," Ria Rabbit admonishes. And Sami Sparrow says, "You can't have it all to yourself." The fox child begins to ponder. True, that wasn't nice at all. But there's one thing that Fuzzy is particularly good at: listening! And all the other animals can learn something from that, too. Important message for kindergarten: promoting social behavior Gender-neutral protagonist: appeals equally to boys and girls Charming story and lovable characters Extra-large flaps on every double page A new picture book by success team Sandra Grimm and Sabine Kraushaar (What's in your diaper?)

        Roman

        by György Konrád, Hans-Henning Paetzke

        "Janos Dragoman ist ein Abenteurer, ein romantischer. Doch Kandor, Schauplatz unserer Geschichte, wird ihm zur Falle, der Durch- und Weiterreisende wird auf- und festgehalten, es sind Zufälle, zu Fallstricken werden. Er könnte alles hinter sich lassen: die Freunde, die Geliebten, den Erfolg, die Zuwendungen, all dies - an Olga aber, diesem Zufall, der sich als seine Tochter entpuppt und die schwanger geht, an ihr hält er fest; hier manifestiert sich das Verlangen nach Kontinuität. Endlich ist da jemand, mit dem er durch Blutsbande verbunden ist, zu dem er gehört. Der Roman ist auch eine moderne Don-Juan-Geschichte; zum einen ist es die Erinnerung an alte Liebesbeziehungen und das Vermeiden, aufs neue anzuknüpfen. Denn Dragoman zieht es vor, aus dem Augenwinkel eine andere Frau wahrzunehmen, und ohne daß er sich dessen bewußt wäre, wird sie, Sandra, zur Triebfeder. Und er, Dragoman, verursacht den Tod ihres Ehemanns, seines Freundes, und nimmt Sandra zur Geliebten."

        by Mark Jancovich, Andy Willis, Eric Schaefer, Susan Williams

        Stars are central to the cinema experience, and this collection offers a variety of fresh and informed perspectives on this important but sometimes neglected area of film studies.This book takes as its focus film stars from the past and present, from Hollywood, its margins and beyond and analyses them through a close consideration of their films and the variety of contexts in which they worked. The book spreads the net wide, looking at past stars from Rosalind Russell and Charlton Heston to present day stars including Sandra Bullock, Jackie Chan and Jim Carrey, as well as those figures who have earnt themselves a certain film star cachet such as Prince, and the martial artist Cynthia Rothrock. The collection will be essential reading for students and lecturers of film studies, as well as to those with a general interest in the cinema. ;

        Beginning ethnic American literatures

        by Helena Grice, Peter Barry, Candida Hepworth, John McLeod, Maria Lauret, Martin Padget, Annete Musker

        Since the late 1960s, American literature has been revitalised by the work of writers such as Toni Morrison, Sherman Alexie, Sandra Cisneros and Maxine Hong Kingston. An introduction to the study of ethnic American fictions organised into four sections, each written by a specialist in the fields of African American, Asian American, Chicano/a and native American literature. Writers are discussed in their cultural/political contexts and literary traditions (rather than as exceptions or as individuals, or on a generic basis). The book highlights common themes in ethnic writing as well as specificities, and has extensive suggestions for further reading as well as a critical introduction regarding the concept of 'ethnic writing'. No competing titles - there are no textbooks, no beginners' books nor any systematised combination of ethnic fictions such as this - only edited collections on each area. ;
