JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Die Mitochondrienersatztherapie: Eine rechtliche und rechtspolitische Analyse zwischen PID, Eizellspende und Keimbahntherapie
Man entnehme der Eizelle einer Kinderwunschpatientin in vitro den Zellkern, transferiere ihn in die ebenfalls zuvor entkernte Eizellhülle einer fremden Frau und verwende die modifizierte Eizelle im Anschluss zur Befruchtung - so der Ansatz der Mitochondrienersatztherapie. Verhindert werden soll auf diese Weise eine über das mütterliche Eizellzytoplasma erfolgende Vererbung defekter Mitochondrien, die andernfalls eine u.U. schwere Erkrankung des Abkömmlings zur Folge haben könnte.Das 1991 als Strafgesetz in Kraft getretene Embryonenschutzgesetz verbietet den Austausch dieser Zellbestandteile dennoch - wenn auch nicht lückenlos. Maja Caroline Lehmann analysiert die bestehenden Strafbarkeitsrisiken und erarbeitet einen Reformvorschlag, der die aufgedeckte Inkonsistenz des geltenden Rechts beseitigt und eine einzelfallbezogene begrenzte Zulassung der Methode ermöglicht. Abschließend überprüft sie die sich dabei ergebenden grundrechtlichen Beschränkungen auf ihre verfassungsrechtliche Legitimation.

Quarto Publishing Group USA Inc To D-Day and Back: Adventures with the 507th Parachute Infantry Regiment and Life as a World War II POW: a Memoir
In the predawn hours of D-Day, June 6, 1944, which would become immortalized as the Longest Day, Bob Bearden and his comrades in the 507th Parachute Infantry Regiment jumped into the inky skies over Normandy. Their mission: defend the west bank of the Merderet River against German counterattack. After long months of training they were finally taking the war to the Germans. Bearden's time in combat proved shortlived, however, when he was captured on D+2, June 8. This was only the beginning of a new war for his very survival through multiple German POW camps and ultimately on an epic journey that would take him largely on foot all the way to Moscow on his journey home, all of which makes for exciting reading in this remarkable memoir.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Das Corpus Johanneum bei Irenäus von Lyon: Studien und Kommentar zum dritten Buch von 'Adversus Haereses'
Im dritten Band seines hauptsächlich gegen valentinianische "Erkenntnis" (Gnosis) und gegen Markion gerichteten Hauptwerkes - es ist zugleich die erste Dogmatik der Kirche - zeigt der südgallische Bischof von Lyon um 185 n.Chr., wie mit Hilfe des Corpus Johanneum wesentliche theologische Herausforderungen der Gnosis biblisch-theologisch beantwortet werden können. Dies betrifft hermeneutische Fragen nach Schrift und Tradition ebenso wie die zentralen Fragen nach Gott und nach Jesus Christus. Thematisch wird dies anhand der Einheit Gottes, seinem Schöpfersein, der Inkarnation und der Soteriologie aufgezeigt. Dabei ist Irenäus der erste Autor, der mit hoher Wortlautgenauigkeit und unter ausdrücklichem Hinweis auf die Quelle zitiert und so als erster eine biblisch-heilsgeschichtliche Theologie entwirft. Bernhard Mutschler untersucht Aufbau und Einheit des dritten Buches sowie die verschiedene Reihenfolge der Evangelien bei Irenäus. Er kommentiert alle bisher identifizierten sowie neu aufgefundenen Bezugnahmen auf das Evangelium nach Johannes, die Johannesbriefe und die Johannesapokalypse.

HarperCollins Publishers The Light at the End of the Day
A family scattered. Lovers torn apart. A painting that unites them all. When Jozef is commissioned to paint a portrait of the younger daughter of Kraków’s grand Oderfeldt family, it is only his desperate need for money that drives him to accept. He has no wish to indulge a pampered child-princess or her haughty, condescending parents – and almost doesn’t notice Alicia’s bookish older sister, Karolina. But when he is ushered by a servant into their house on Kraków’s fashionable Bernadyńska street in the winter of 1937, he has no inkling of the way his life will become entangled with the Oderfeldts'. Or of the impact that the German invasion will have upon them all. As Poland is engulfed by war, and Jozef’s painting is caught up in the tides of history, Alicia, Karolina and their parents are forced to flee – their Jewish identity transformed into something dangerous, and their comfortable lives overturned … Spanning countries and decades The Light at the End of the Day is a heart-breaking novel of exile, survival and how we remember what is lost.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Das Akteneinsichtsrecht der Verteidigung: Eine Analyse unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Einführung der elektronischen Akte im Strafverfahren und am besonderen Beispiel von Telekommunikationsüberwachungsdaten
Das Akteneinsichtsrecht gem. § 147 StPO ist seit Inkrafttreten der Reichsstrafprozessordnung am 01.10.1879 fester Bestandteil des Strafverfahrensrechts. Die Vorschrift sieht ein Akteneinsichts- und Beweisstückbesichtigungsrecht zur Verteidigung im Strafverfahren vor. Doch was ist von diesen Akten und Beweisstücken umfasst und inwieweit besteht ein Einsichts- sowie Besichtigungsrecht? Da Strafverfolgungsbehörden mit der fortschreitenden Digitalisierung jeglicher Lebensbereiche heutzutage deutlich mehr Informationsmaterial als zu früheren Zeiten erlangen, stellen sich derartige Fragen immer häufiger. Der Gesetzgeber hat jüngst die elektronische Akte im Strafverfahren eingeführt und Formvorgaben für die Akteneinsichtsgewährung implementiert. Die Reichweite von § 147 StPO ist jedoch ungeklärt geblieben. Saber Meglalu untersucht, was zu den Akten und Beweisstücken zählt und wie weit das Einsichts- sowie Besichtigungsrecht reicht. Hierbei geht er auch der Frage nach, wie digitales Ermittlungsmaterial, insbesondere solches aus Telekommunikationsüberwachungen, im Kontext von § 147 StPO einzuordnen ist.

Uncivilized Books Unended
What prevents you from finishing your life's work?Josh Bayer finds a manuscript of an unfinished play inside his deceased father's desk. The play tells the story of Josh's mother's early death (age 37) and his father's struggle with single parenthood. When he attempts to adapt the play into comics, it triggers a series of personal crises. Bayer's limitations and futile ambitions are brought into sharp relief as he grapples with an estranged, unknowable parent and the play's frustrating lack of resolution.Humans worship lore, myth, and fables, but many people's creative dreams become abandoned. Why?Bayer's inky line, tangled textures, and kaleidoscopic color boldly fuse on the page into comic book semiotics, flights of grandeur, and tangents inside tangents. Josh Bayer stitches scattered memories into surrealistic episodes permeated with dream logic. Unended is a Promethean quest to excavate the creative fire hidden inside us.

Nick Hern Books The Flea
'We'll start with the flea, because that's as good a place as any...' July 1889, London. A flea bites a rat. A rat spooks a horse. A horse kicks a man. As the chain reaction continues, a boy and his mother find themselves swept up in a national scandal that will reshape both their lives – and the country. James Fritz's play The Flea is a retelling of the Cleveland Street Scandal that shook England – from the streets of Bermondsey to the halls of Buckingham Palace – and features a flea, a horse, a detective, a queen, a pimp, a god, and Charlie, the telegraph boy who knelt before the Crown. This anarchic and affecting play was first performed at The Yard Theatre, London, in October 2023, directed by Artistic Director Jay Miller. 'There are few playwrights working in Britain today whose work is as slick and unsettling as James Fritz's' Exeunt 'Fritz's work pairs structural playfulness with emotional intelligence and inky wit... his plays are contained and compassionate, and frequently find reservoirs of humour in places you wouldn't expect' The Stage

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Tod und Opfer Jesu im Hebräerbrief
Eine der zentralen Fragen der Hebräerbriefexegese ist die nach der Bedeutung des Todes Jesu. Einerseits misst der Verfasser Jesu Tod entscheidende soteriologische Wirksamkeit bei, andererseits betont er Christi Unvergänglichkeit. Beides, Tod und Unsterblichkeit, ist für den Autor zugleich Voraussetzung für das Inkrafttreten der Neuen Diatheke. Christian Lustig zeigt, dass Hintergrund und Kern seiner Todesdeutung dabei eine Abendmahlsparadosis markinisch-matthäischer Provenienz ist. Christus opfert Leib und Blut. Sein Pneuma hingegen ist nach Hebr 9,14 ewig. So bleibt er auch über den Tod hinaus Agens dieser Opferdarbringung. Durch sie vollzieht er Reinigung, Weihe und Inauguration des himmlischen Zeltes wie auch der Glaubenden. Der kultische Dienst des himmlischen Hohepriesters ereignet sich auf Erden am Kreuz und zugleich in pneumatischer Sphäre an Gottes eigenem Heiligtum.

David Zwirner Richard Serra: 2022
A studious view of Richard Serra’s recently premiered forged steel sculpture and new drawings using his trademark paintstick technique. ---------- “Enigmatic, arresting, audacious: Richard Serra now and forever” — The Brooklyn Rail ---------- Richard Serra’s hugely successful body of work consistently explores the possibilities of form and matter. Serra’s steel sculptures are held in major collections internationally, and his drawings assert themselves as abstract victories. Through the use of black paintstick—a combination of oil paint, wax, and pigment, which he has used since 1971—Serra’s drawings convey a strong sense of optical weight, acutely similar to the physical presence of his sculptures. 2022, the artist’s largest single forged round to date, investigates properties of weight and scale. While the exhibition allowed viewers to encounter Serra’s immense forged round and inky drawings in relation to their own space and bodies, the catalogue is an opportunity for intimate engagement with Serra’s works through stunning reproductions.

Dismembered corpses are discovered scattered along the banks of the river Thames, a calculating clinical multiple murderer is on the loose, and the London police have no inkling of the killers identity and, more than a century later, they still don't. In this, M.J. Trows latest re-investigation of a bizarre and brutal serial killing, he delves deep into the appalling facts of the case, into the futile police investigations, and into the dark history of late Victorian London. The incredible criminal career of the Thames torso murderer has gripped readers and historians ever since he committed his crimes in the 1870's and 1880's. The case poses as many questions as the even more notorious killings of Jack the Ripper. How, over a period of fifteen years, did the Thames murderer get away with a succession of monstrous and sensational misdeeds? And what sort of perverted character was he, why did he take such risks, why did he kill again and again?

The University of Chicago Press Caribbeana: An Anthology of English Literature of the West Indies, 1657-1777
Although the colonies in the West Indies were as important to the expanding British empire as those in North America, writings from the British West Indies have been conspicuously absent from anthologies of 17th- and 18th-century British literature. In this literary anthology dedicated to the region, Thomas W. Krise gathers descriptions, poems, narratives, satires and essays written in and about this culturally rich and politically tempestuous region. The text offers period commentaries on slavery, colonialism, gender relations, African and European history, natural history, agriculture and medicine. Highlights include several of the earliest protests against slavery; an ode by the Cambridge-educated Afro-Jamaican poet Francis Williams; James Grainger's extended georgic poem, "The Sugar Cane"; Frances Seymour's poignant tale of the Englishman Inkle who sells his Indian saviour-lover Yarico into slavery; and several descriptions of the West Indies during the early years of settlement.

Kerber Verlag Anything goes?: Berlin Architectures of the 1980s
In 1987, Berlin as a whole became a laboratory for architecture. A wide range of notable buildings with a unique density was created in the East and the West in connection with the city’s 750th anniversary. While the buildings were vilified at the time, they now appear as important witnesses to a “postmodern” era of building, which called the traditional architecture of the modern living environment into question. Today, the buildings have disappeared, been modified, or are threatened with demolition. For the first time, the exhibition and publication examine the significance of the architectural visions developed in East and West Berlin in the final decade before the fall of the Berlin Wall. Architects included: Hinrich and Inken Baller, Christian Enzmann and Bernd Ettel, John Hejduk with Moritz Müller, Josef Paul Kleihues, Michael Kny and Thomas Weber, Hans Kollhoff, Dorothea Krause, Rob Krier, Peter Meyer, Frei Otto with Hermann Kendel, Martin Küenzlen and Günther Ludewig, Manfred Prasser, Günter Stahn, Helmut Stingl, James Stirling and Michael Wilford, Peter Stürzebecher, Kjell Nylund and Christof Puttfarken, Oswald Mathias Ungers, Solweig Steller-Wendland, and many more.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Religiosität als Qualität des Säkularen: Die Religionstheorie John Deweys
Im Diskurs über die legitime Rolle der Religion in der demokratischen Öffentlichkeit wird vielfach unterstellt, religiöse und säkulare Denkformen ließen sich anhand ihrer metaphysischen Vorannahmen einschlägig gegeneinander abgrenzen. Das dabei angewandte Kriterium - die Frage, inwieweit eine transzendente Realität vorausgesetzt wird - wird dabei oftmals zugleich als Indiz der Inkompatibilität des religiösen und des säkularen Denkens gedeutet.Der Pragmatist John Dewey hat in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts eine Religionstheorie vorgelegt, die angesichts dieser Tendenz zur Dichotomisierung von der Leitdifferenz zwischen Transzendenz und Immanenz absieht. Auf diese Weise beansprucht er zu zeigen, dass Religiosität - recht verstanden - auf Voraussetzungen beruht, die ebenso allgemein zugänglich sind wie die Prämissen säkularen Lebens. Annette Pitschmann erschließt Deweys Religionstheorie vor dem Hintergrund seiner Wirklichkeitskonzeption und prüft ihre Plausibilität im Horizont von Deweys Wissenschafts- und Handlungstheorie sowie seiner Ästhetik.

Often breathtaking ...this latest collection from Kocot intersperses frantic images with hauntingly simple and loss-laden outcries. Throughout, there is the poet's thwarted longing for an understanding that cannot come: "all poets and poetry elude me,/ especially myself and my own"; Kocot's speaker--a voice simultaneously adorable, helpless and deeply brave--is both obsessed with and frustrated by process: "See, in a poem, things actually/ have to be doing things,/ not just floating around." ...Kocot's most lucid moments achieve a kind of visionary clarity ("The waters are very simple today./ Hospital blue, in error of twilight"), a beautiful refusal to accept the inevitable ("Listen, I said it before, die/ and come back as fire") and inklings of the kind of loss that could yield such a powerful, almost overflowing book: "I wait to go to you,/ smoking and breaking curses under/ the Jackson Pollock fuck you moon." --Publishers Weekly

With stories from open submissions and classic tales we examine the interplay between automation, humankind, and what it is to be human.

Rowman & Littlefield Green House: Eco-Friendly Disposal and Recycling at Home
The realities of climate change can be overwhelming, but the good news is that-with your help-global warming can be slowed and ultimately stopped. You may already recycle those newspapers and milk cartons, and perhaps you have a compost pile in the backyard. But what about that old inkjet cartridge? Or that scratched CD? Green House: Eco-Friendly Disposal and Recycling at Home is an A to Z guide to disposing and recycling all varieties of common household trash, from broken appliances to spent smoke detectors and cell phones to pet waste. With a sense of humor and an eye towards modern-day practicalities, Norm Crampton discusses the most environmentally-friendly methods of dealing with household waste, and when there are multiple disposal options, he describes the ins and outs of each alternative. Crampton also points out that some trash may be someone else's treasure-some recyclers may pay you for your old cell phone and your cooking grease can become bio-fuel! For homeowners and apartment dwellers alike, Green House is a handy little reference book and the first step towards reducing your ecological footprint.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Europarechtsordnung als Rahmenordnung: Versuch einer Überwindung der dualistischen Konstruktion von staatlichen und überstaatlichen Rechtsordnungen
Shu-Perng Hwang setzt sich kritisch mit der dualistischen Position auseinander, die sowohl der herrschenden deutschen Lehre als auch der Rechtsprechung der europäischen Gerichte zugrundeliegt. Dabei zeigt sie deren rechtsmethodologische sowie -ideologische Probleme auf. Demgegenüber vertritt sie eine rahmenorientierte, entmaterialisierte und in diesem Sinne monistische Auffassung des europäischen Mehrebenensystems. Diese zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass sie das nationale Recht und das Europarecht nicht ohne Weiteres als heterogene und inkompatible Rechtsordnungen, sondern als gemeinsame Bestandteile der gesamteuropäischen Rechtsordnung ansieht. Die hier vertretene monistische Konstruktion zielt dabei weder auf die substantielle Rechtsvereinheitlichung noch auf die Einrichtung einer zentralisierten Rechtsordnung, sondern vielmehr darauf, ein friedliches und gleichberechtigtes Nebeneinander von einzelstaatlichen Rechtsordnungen zu ermöglichen und zu gewährleisten.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Relationale Ontologie bei Paulus: Die ontische Wirksamkeit der Christusbezogenheit im Denken des Heidenapostels
Im Zentrum der Frömmigkeit und des theologischen Denkens des "Heidenapostels aus Israel" (K.-W. Niebuhr) steht eine Person: Paulus zufolge entscheidet sich alles an der Relation zu Jesus Christus. Dieses durchaus ungewöhnliche Denken schlägt sich in der Sprache des Apostels nieder - besonders prägnant in seiner Formel vom "Sein in Christus", dem "Kennwort seines Christentums" (Adolf Deißmann). Emmanuel L. Rehfeld untersucht den Sachgehalt dieser Formel und die mit ihr verbundenen anthropologischen, hamartiologischen, soteriologischen und eschatologischen Anschauungen des Apostels, die nur im Rahmen relational-ontologischen Denkens widerspruchsfrei zu verstehen sind. Wird diese Einsicht nicht konsequent genug beachtet, kann dies zu inkonsistenten Deutungen führen, die der Tatsache geschuldet sind, dass man sich mit unangemessenen Sprach- und Denkkategorien den paulinischen Schriftzeugnissen nähert.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Die Wiedergutmachung immaterieller Schäden im Privatrecht
Die Ersatzfähigkeit immaterieller Schäden wurde seit dem Inkrafttreten des BGB erheblich erweitert. Die Kompensation ideeller Schäden bei Körper- und Gesundheitsverletzungen, bei Verletzungen des allgemeinen Persönlichkeitsrechts und Benachteiligungen entwickelte sich in jeweils eigenständiger Weise. Daher lag der Entschädigung ideeller Einbußen kein einheitliches Konzept zugrunde. Claudia Schubert legt eine umfassende Analyse des Ausgleichs immaterieller Schäden im Privatrecht vor und bezieht neben der Rechtsvergleichung die Vorgaben des Unionsrechts, der EMRK sowie den Entwurf eines Gemeinsamen Referenzrahmens ein. Sie richtet den Begriff des immateriellen Schadens neu aus, um die ersatzfähigen Schäden vollständig zu erfassen. Sie führt die einzelnen Teilbereiche konzeptionell zusammen und schlägt punktuelle Erweiterung für die Kompensation von Nichtvermögensschäden vor. Die Funktion der Entschädigung beschreibt sie als Schadenswiedergutmachung. Eine selbständige Genugtuungs- oder Präventionsfunktion lehnt die Autorin ab und spricht sich stattdessen für die Regelung von Privatstrafen aus, um das Schadensersatzrecht partiell zu ergänzen.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Die Verzahnung der Brüssel Ia-VO mit der Schiedsgerichtsbarkeit bei Parallelverfahren
Das Verhältnis des Europäischen Zivilprozessrechts zur Schiedsgerichtsbarkeit ist seit jeher umstritten. Doch gerade während des siebenjährigen Revisionsprozesses bis zum Inkrafttreten der Brüssel Ia-VO hat sich eine Debatte entwickelt, die an Umfang und Intensität kaum zu übertreffen ist. Das schwierigste und relevanteste Szenario betrifft grenzüberschreitende Parallelverfahren vor staatlichen Gerichten und Schiedsgerichten. Sebastian Breder durchleuchtet die möglichen Mechanismen zur Unterbindung des jeweils anderen Parallelverfahrens, insbesondere den Erlass von Prozessführungsverboten, die Berufung auf die materielle Rechtskraft und die Geltendmachung von Schadensersatz wegen der Verletzung der Schiedsabrede. Zudem untersucht er, wie der Konflikt der Hauptsacheentscheidungen aufgelöst werden kann, wenn beide Parallelverfahren mit widersprüchlichen Ergebnissen zu Ende geführt wurden. Dabei fächert er aus Sicht deutscher, englischer und französischer Gerichte die verschiedenen Fallkonstellationen präzise auf. Das macht die Arbeit zu einer wertvollen Quelle - für Akademiker und Praktiker gleichermaßen. Die Arbeit wurde mit dem Förderpreis (1. Platz) der Deutschen Institution für Schiedsgerichtsbarkeit e.V. (DIS) für die Jahre 2021/2022 ausgezeichnet.
