Kennen Sie Emmi und Leo? In "Gut gegen Nordwind" verlieben sich die beiden rettungslos - per E-Mail. Doch Emmi ist glücklich verheiratet und Leo verdaut gerade eine gescheiterte Beziehung.

Fifty Years of a Civilizing Force : An Historical and a Critical Study of the Work of the National Board of Fire Underwriters (Classic Reprint) (9781332127672)

Excerpt from Fifty Years of a Civilizing Force: An Historical and a Critical Study of the Work of the National Board of Fire Underwriters The united states might well have been named Terra del F nego - Land of Fire. It has an aver age of I 500 fires per day, or more than one a minute, a daily loss of A value equal to one quarter the total for all the new buildings erected each year is thus destroyed, and in 1906 this propor tion rose to one-half. Every fire subtracts a definite sum from the national wealth through irretrievable loss. This country is proud of its petroleum, gold, silver, and copper production, but its fire-tax - the direct cost of its fires and the incidental expenditures resulting therefrom - consumes as much wealth as these four industries together create. Fire is one of the great outstanding economic factors of American civilization, and, in consequence, fire insurance has become one of our most familiar institutions.

Jefferson Davis and the Civil War Era (9780807150092)

In his masterpiece, Jefferson Davis, American, William J. Cooper, Jr., crafted a sweeping, definitive biography and established himself as the foremost scholar on the intriguing Confederate president. Cooper narrows his focus considerably in Jefferson Davis and the Civil War Era, training his expert eye specifically on Davis's participation in and influence on events central to the American Civil War. Nine self-contained essays address how Davis reacted to and dealt with a variety of issues that were key to the coming of the war, the war itself, or in memorializing the war, sharply illuminating Davis's role during those turbulent years. Cooper opens with an analysis of Davis as an antebellum politician, challenging the standard view of Davis as either a dogmatic priest of principle or an inept bureaucrat. Next, he looks closely at Davis's complex association with secession, which included, surprisingly, a profound devotion to the Union. Six studies explore Davis and the C...

Über den Sachsenspiegel (9783899230932)

Heft 1 der von Boje E. Hans Schmuhl herausgegebenen Veröffentlichungen der Stiftung Dome und Schlösser in Sachsen-Anhalt beschäftigt sich mit dem Sachsenspiegel des Eike von Repgow, dem bedeutendsten deutschen Rechtsbuch des Mittelalters. Während die Entstehungszeit auf die Jahre zwischen 1220 und 1235 eingegrenzt werden kann, steht der Ort der Aufzeichnung nicht fest. Er wird sehr wahrscheinlich im östlichen Harzvorland zu suchen sein, was durch die nachgewiesenen Verbindungen des Autors zum hier ansässigen Graf Hoyer gestützt wird. Das Buch spiegelt den derzeitigen Forschungsstand wider. Heiner Lück ist an der Martin-Luther-Universität Halle Wittenberg Professor für Bürgerliches Recht, Europäische und Deutsche Rechtsgeschichte und Ordentliches Mitglied der Sächsischen Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Leipzig. Der Band wird durch einen Beitrag von Joachim Schymalla, Historiker und Direktor des Museums Burg Falkenstein, über die Grafen von Falkenstein im Mittelalter ergänzt. ...

Why Liberalism Failed (9780300240023)

Has liberalism failed because it has succeeded? "Why Liberalism Failed offers cogent insights into the loss of meaning and community that many in the West feel, issues that liberal democracies ignore at their own peril."-President Barack Obama "Deneen's book is valuable because it focuses on today's central issue. The important debates now are not about policy. They are about the basic values and structures of our social order."-David Brooks, New York Times Of the three dominant ideologies of the twentieth century-fascism, communism, and liberalism-only the last remains. This has created a peculiar situation in which liberalism's proponents tend to forget that it is an ideology and not the natural end-state of human political evolution. As Patrick Deneen argues in this provocative book, liberalism is built on a foundation of contradictions: it trumpets equal rights while fostering incomparable material inequality; its legitimacy rests on consent, yet i...

I Never Left My Daddy's Table Hungry (9781387077243)

In our modern world of smartphones, video games, wifi hotspots, and Netflix, it's hard to imagine that, less than eighty years ago, there were people in rural Arkansas who were still scratching a living off the land. What makes this book so very special and historically relevant is simple - This book was not written by some college professor who, with clinical indifference, made an extensive study into a bygone era and then wrote down his cold musings on life in those days. Instead, the author of this book relates his own experiences with humble honesty and wit-filled humor. His fond childhood recollections are framed by the wisdom of many years as he relates what life was like for himself and his family during the 1940's. Product details Format Hardback ...

Aprender a comer solo : manual sobre el método "Baby led weaning" (9788416002788)

Si hay algo que les preocupa a los padres es su alimentación de sus hijos. ¿Necesitan los bebés de 6 meses que un adulto les dé de comer a la boca? ¿Y comer los alimentos triturados? ¿Se les debe dar a comer a demanda? Estas reflexiones son las que han conducido al estudio del enfoque de introducción de la alimentación complementaria conocido como Baby-Led Weaning o alimentación autorregulada o dirigida por el bebé, donde se promueve que desde el inicio de la incoporación de los alimentos, sea el propio bebé el que coma por sí solo la misma comida que el resto de la familia con pequeñas adaptaciones y sentado a la mesa como un miembro más. Este enfoque puede tener potenciales beneficios para el bebé y está siendo objeto de numerosos estudios, entre otros objetivos, como herramienta que ayude en la prevención de la obesidad. Este sistema de alimentación, que ya es muy popular en países como Reino Unido, está ganando adeptos por todo el mundo. Sin embargo, la mayoría de los profesionale...

Strategic Economy In Japan (9780367304317)

This innovative work demystifies the Japanese economy by considering it as a strategic system. Showing how the Japanese "miracleaEURO is actively planned, directed, and implemented by a constellation of institutions, government policymakers, and big business, Huber argues that Japan, Inc., can best be compared to a modern military system rather than exclusively to a free-market economy. The author highlights particularly the similarity between Japan's strategic economy and some of the structures and policy dynamics of the U.S. military and shows how Japans economic strategies have the capability of adversely affecting its trading partners.
