Der aus dem deutschen Kulturraum ausgehende Einfluss auf den Jischuw - die jëdische Gemeinschaft in Palästina von der ersten organisierten Einwanderung 1882 bis zur Grëndung des Staates Israel im Jahr 1948 - war mannigfaltig. Na`ama Sheffi beschäftigt sich mit einer seiner herausragenden Erscheinungen: der Übersetzung deutschsprachiger Werke ins Hebräische und deren Rezeption sowie der unmittelbaren Wirkung deutscher Vorbilder auf die Schaffung eines modernhebräischen Literaturkorpus.Den Anfang bildeten bereits im späten 18. Jahrhundert in Europa die Übertragung von Werken, die dem Geist der jëdischen Aufklärung verpflichtet waren. Auch noch vor der Genese des Zionismus als nationalem Projekt intensivierte sich die Übersetzungstätigkeit ungeachtet des kleinen Leser- und Verlegerkreises sowie zahlreicher technischer Hindernisse. Fast 800 Werke der verschiedensten Genres - Romane, Dramen, Sachbëcher, Kinder- und Jugendliteratur - wurden während des untersuchten Zeitraums aus dem Deutschen ins Hebräische ëbertragen. Hinzu kommen noch mehrere hundert in Zeitschriften erschienene Gedichte, Prosastëcke und Essays. Wesentliche Befunde sind dabei die dominierende Rolle der aus dem Osten Europas stammenden Übersetzer sowie der sprunghafte Anstieg der Übertragungen in den Jahren des Nationalsozialismus und sodann in den drei letzten Jahren vor der Staatsgrëndung. Die Auswahl der Texte war weitgehend von nationalen Ideologien bestimmt: Anfangs dienten die Übertragungen weltanschaulich der Haskala, danach der Erneuerung der jëdischen Nation und der hebräischen Sprache und schließlich der Bewahrung der im Nationalsozialismus verfemten Literatur vor allem jëdischer Autoren.

Die Erschütterung der erzieherischen Autorität gilt als eine der entscheidenden Ursachen für den dramatischen Anstieg von Gewalt und Kriminalität unter Kindern und Jugendlichen. Doch kann elterliche und pädagogische Autorität heutzutage nicht mehr auf Furcht, blinden Gehorsam und Machtausübung gründen. Es müssen die in unserer Gesellschaft vorherrschende Werte von freiem Willen, Individualität und kulturellem Pluralismus berücksichtigt werden. Die Psychologen Haim Omer und Arist von Schlippe führen den Begriff der »neuen Autorität« ein, der das Ergebnis eines langjährigen Denk- und Erfahrungsprozesses darstellt. Zu den zentralen Konzepten dieser neuen Autorität gehören Präsenz und gewaltloser Widerstand. Die Anwendung hat sich auch im Schulbereich bewährt, wo Eltern und Lehrer ein Bündnis gegenseitiger Hilfe und Unterstützung bilden, und bindet im darüber hinaus auch Gemeindemitglieder erfolgreich ein.

The first book in a new environmental epic fantasy series set in a world where ships kept afloat by magical hearthfires sail an endless grass sea.On the never-ending, miles-high expanse of prairie grasses known as the Forever Sea, Kindred Greyreach, hearthfire keeper and sailor aboard harvesting vessel The Errant, is just beginning to fit in with the crew of her new ship when she receives devastating news. Her grandmother—The Marchess, legendary captain and hearthfire keeper—has stepped from her vessel and disappeared into the sea.But the note she leaves Kindred suggests this was not an act of suicide. Something waits in the depths, and the Marchess has set out to find it.To follow in her grandmother’s footsteps, Kindred must embroil herself in conflicts bigger than she could imagine: a water war simmering below the surface of two cultures; the politics of a mythic pirate city floating beyond the edges of safe seas; battles against beasts of the deep, driven to the brink of madness; and the elusive promise of a world below the waves. Kindred finds that she will sacrifice almost everything—ship, crew, and a life sailing in the sun—to discover the truth of the darkness that waits below the Forever Sea.

Scotland and South Africa are mixed jurisdictions, combining features of common law and civil law traditions. Over the last decade a shared feature in both Scotland and South Africa has been a new intense focus on human rights. In Scotland the European Convention on Human Rights now constitutes an important element in the foundation of all domestic law. Similarly, the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, adopted in 1996, has as its cornerstone a Bill of Rights that binds not only the legislature, the executive, the judiciary and all organs of state, but also private parties. Of course the "constitutional moments" from which these documents sprang were very different and the Scottish and South African experience in some aspects could not be more dissimilar. Yet in many respects the parallels are close and compelling. This book, written by experts from both jurisdictions, examines exactly how human-rights provisions influence private law, looking at all branches of the subject. Moreover, it gives a unique perspective by comparing the approach in these kindred legal systems, thus providing a benchmark for both. Key Features: Twenty comparative case studies in private law and human rights A challenging collaboration between South African and Scots Universities Considers the impact of a bill of fundamental human rights upon the legal relationships between private individuals

The scope of this volume is intentionally broad. We review applications of spatially realistic occupancy models and age- or stage-structured demographic models as well as individual-based demographic models. These three main Population Viability Analysis (PVA) approaches initially are compared with other conservation assessment tools in an overview by Akcakaya, Lacy and Sjogren-Gulve and Hanski, with a special chapter on plant PVAs by Menges, all using illustrative examples. Fleishman et al. subsequently outline how nested subsets analyses can help discern focal species, taxa whose habitat requirements may encompass those of larger species groups and can be subjected to PVAs. Kindvall then compares the predictive accuracy of simpler occupancy models versus a democratic model for predicting local extinctions and colonizations in a bush-cricket metapopulation. Thereafter, four case studies which use the three model categories are presented (papers by Berglind, Ebenhard, Lennartsson, and Vos et al.). The volume concludes with Gardenfors' paper on the use of PVAs in the classification of threatened species, and Lacy's presentation of the structure and logic of VORTEX, a widely used demographic and genetic PVA model.

Open up a fresh and stylish story about growing up and keeping hold of your favorite memories. As the year passes, the narrator’s favorite dress goes through a series of creative changes, from dress to shirt to tank top to scarf and so on, until all that’s left of it is a good memory. Assisted by her patient and crafty mama, the narrator finds that when disaster strikes her favorite things, she doesn’t need to make mountains out of molehills—she “makes molehills out of mountains” instead! Structured around the days of the week, the story is also illustrated to show the passing of the seasons, a perfect complement to the themes of growing older and keeping hold (and letting go) of special mementos.Praise for I Had a Favorite Dress"A spunky story about adjusting to change with creativity and style. Tailor-made, so to speak, for the Etsy generation of DIY enthusiasts.” –Publishers Weekly“Everyone is smiling in the buoyant confections created by illustrator Julia Denos—including, it’s fair to say, young readers looking at them. Endearing picture book.” –Wall Street Journal“What could have been yet another example of kindergarten consumerism instead becomes one of resourcefulness and resilience.” –New York Times “Denos’s multimedia illustrations reinforce the narrator’s vibrant personality and the amazing transformations of the dress while capturing the action and emotion of the story. This book is sure to capture the imaginations of would-be seamstresses; children who can’t bear to part with a favorite item; and those who want to reduce, reuse, recycle.” –School Library Journal “Breezy in style, they smartly stitch each scene of alteration as the not-so-little girl sashays through the days of the week and the seasons. A charming interpretation of an old story that will speak to young fashionistas.” –Kirkus Reviews

Experience the hauntingly beautiful world of orcas, and discover the stories that unfold when humans enter oceans alongside them.When intrepid biology student Hanne Strager volunteered to be the cook on a small research vessel in Norway's Lofoten Islands, the trip inspired a decades-long journey into the lives of killer whales—and an exploration of people's complex relationships with the biggest predators on earth. The Killer Whale Journals chronicles the now internationally renowned science writer's fascinating adventures around the world, documenting Strager's personal experiences with orcas in the wild. Killer whales' incredible intelligence, long life spans, and strong family bonds lead many people to see them as kindred spirits in the sea. But not everyone feels this way—like wolves, orcas have been both beloved and vilified throughout human history. In this absorbing odyssey, Strager traces the complicated relationship between humans and killer whales, while delving into their behavior, biology, and ecology. She brings us along in her travels to the most remote corners of the world, battling the stormy Arctic seas of northern Norway with fellow biologists intent on decoding whale-song, interviewing First Nations conservationists in Vancouver, observing Inuit hunters in Greenland, and witnessing the dismantling of black market "whale jails" in the Russian wilderness of Kamchatka. Through these captivating stories, Strager introduces us to a diverse cast of characters from Inuit elders to Australian Aboriginal whalers and guides us through the world's wild waters, from fjords above the Arctic circle in Norway to the poaching-infested waters off Kamchatka. Featuring astonishing photographs from famed nature photographer and conservationist Paul Nicklen, The Killer Whale Journals reveals rare and intimate moments of connection with these fierce, brilliant predators.

Wouldn't it be great if your child could exercise, have fun, and build concentration skills all at the same time?

Drawing on these components, Harper shares practical activities that parents can use with their children both on a daily basis and as applied to particularly challenging issues. And while this book is targeted to parents, teachers may also find it extremely useful in helping students achieve better attention and focus.

Saramago's Jesus is the son not of God but of Joseph. Mary Magdalene is his lover not his convert. In the wilderness he tussles not with the Devil – a kindly and necessary evil – but with God, a fallible, power-hungry autocrat. And he must die not for the sins of the fathers but for the sins of the Father. By investigating these simple inversions Saramago has woven a dark parable; a secular gospel of astonishing richness and depth.‘An original, wild and beautiful book’ Times Literary Supplement

Eclectic essays on ethics, education, and much else besides.Plutarch (Plutarchus), ca. AD 45–120, was born at Chaeronea in Boeotia in central Greece, studied philosophy at Athens, and, after coming to Rome as a teacher in philosophy, was given consular rank by the emperor Trajan and a procuratorship in Greece by Hadrian. He was married and the father of one daughter and four sons. He appears as a man of kindly character and independent thought, studious and learned. Plutarch wrote on many subjects. Most popular have always been the forty-six Parallel Lives, biographies planned to be ethical examples in pairs (in each pair, one Greek figure and one similar Roman), though the last four lives are single. All are invaluable sources of our knowledge of the lives and characters of Greek and Roman statesmen, soldiers and orators. Plutarch’s many other varied extant works, about sixty in number, are known as Moralia or Moral Essays. They are of high literary value, besides being of great use to people interested in philosophy, ethics, and religion.

The poetry of change.Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso, 43 BC–AD 17), born at Sulmo, studied rhetoric and law at Rome. Later he did considerable public service there, and otherwise devoted himself to poetry and to society. Famous at first, he offended the emperor Augustus by his Ars amatoria, and was banished because of this work and some other reason unknown to us, and dwelt in the cold and primitive town of Tomis on the Black Sea. He continued writing poetry, a kindly man, leading a temperate life. He died in exile. Ovid's main surviving works are the Metamorphoses, a source of inspiration to artists and poets including Chaucer and Shakespeare; the Fasti, a poetic treatment of the Roman year of which Ovid finished only half; the Amores, love poems; the Ars amatoria, not moral but clever and in parts beautiful; Heroides, fictitious love letters by legendary women to absent husbands; and the dismal works written in exile: the Tristia, appeals to persons including his wife and also the emperor; and similar Epistulae ex Ponto. Poetry came naturally to Ovid, who at his best is lively, graphic and lucid. The Loeb Classical Library edition of Ovid is in six volumes.

A remarkable true story of one child’s journey into the afterlife after surviving a super tornado.When Ari Hallmark was in kindergarten, her family was caught in a powerful tornado in their hometown of Arab, Alabama. On April 27, 2011, Ari and her parents, Shane and Jennifer Hallmark, were putting the finishing touches on their new home, which Shane had built from scratch. Shane’s last-second decision to drive to his parent’s house put the Hallmarks directly in the path of a devastating EF4 tornado. Moments after the Hallmarks arrived at the home, the mile-wide tornado ripped the house off its foundation and flung it in the air. When Ari regained consciousness, she began sharing the extraordinary story of what happened to her during the tornado: she met her guardian angel and followed her family to heaven. The full story of what Ari went through—the six months of reoccurring dreams that foretold the tragedy, and the unexpected challenges she faced from the legal system after the storm—delivers a powerful message to the world: you will see your late loved ones again. Ari Hallmark is now a high school senior determined to share her hopeful message with the world. The Girl Who Saw Heaven is a uniquely poignant addition to near-death experience and heavenly encounter classics. Ari’s story will leave you with a different perspective of death and more hopeful of what lies beyond.

Das Kniegelenk, welches sich in der Abstammungsreihe als Bestandteil der hinteren Extremität bei den ersten auf dem Lande lebenden Tieren ausgebildet hat, nahm an der weiteren Evolution nicht in einem so großen Umfang teil wie Hände und Gehirn. Trotzdem ist seine Bedeutung für den Menschen groß, weil dieser die ihm eigenen Merkmale der geistigen Leistungsfähigkeit und der manu­ ellen Geschicklichkeit nur bei ungestörtem Fortbewegungsvermögen voll ent­ falten kann. Die Möglichkeiten einer Störung seines Ganges durch Kniegelenkverände­ rungen sind zahlreich. Angeborene und erworbene Formänderungen der Gelenk­ bestandteile, Beeinträchtigungen durch Systemerkrankungen des Organismus, Entzündungen, Verletzungen, Geschwülste, Arbeitsschäden und degenerative Vorgänge sind zu nennen. Obwohl Anatomie, Physiologie und die genannten Alterationen nach eingehenden Untersuchungen in ausführlichen Einzelabhand­ lungen beschrieben sind, ist die Orientierung über manche Fragen schwierig, weil eine zusammenfassende, auf die Praxis abgestimmte Darstellung der genannten Probleme bislang im In-und Ausland nicht erschienen ist. Diese Lücke auszu­ füllen, ist Zweck des vorliegenden Buches. Neu hinzugekommen ist in dieser Monographie eine ausführliche Besprechung des Femoropatellargelenkes auf Grund eines umfangreichen Literaturstudiums und langjähriger persönlicher Untersuchungen. Durch die gewonnenen Erkennt­ nisse ließen sich einige, bisher problematische Fragen einfach beantworten und manches "Mysteriöse" wurde geklärt. Das Buch dürfte für einen breiten Leserkreis interessant sein, vornehmlich für Chirurgen, Orthopäden, gutachterlich tätige Ärzte, aber auch für Internisten und Kinderärzte.
