Diese Festschrift ehrt den Alttestamentler James Alfred Loader, der, von der Universität von Pretoria und der UNISA herkommend, seit 1997 an der Universität Wien lehrt. Weisheit und Schöpfung markieren zwei wichtige Kristallisationspunkte seiner Forschungen und der Alttestamentlichen Wissenschaft insgesamt. Der internationale Sammelband enthält sechs deutsche und acht englische Beiträge von alttestamentlichen Forscherinnen und Forschern aus Europa (Deutschland, England, Finnland, Niederlande, Österreich, Schottland, Schweiz), den USA und Südafrika. Sie untersuchen das Spannungsfeld von Weisheit und Schöpfung anhand ausgewählter Textbeispiele aus Genesis 1, einzelnen Psalmen, Hiob, Kohelet, Proverbien und Sapientia Salomonis. Sie gehen Fragen der Metaphorik und der Rezeption von Weisheit und Schöpfung nach, sei es in der Umwelt Israels, im Neuen Testament oder in der späteren jüdischen und christlichen Auslegungsgeschichte, und thematisieren Bezüge zu Anthropologie und Ökologie.

Mit seinem Art. 15 a enthält das DBA D-CHE für Grenzgänger eine eigene Vorschrift für den Ausgleich dieser Doppelbesteuerung.

Darüber hinaus wird in einem zweiten Schritt die Sonderbehandlung von Grenzgängern in Doppelbesteuerungsabkommen auf ihre Aktualität und Funktionalität hin beleuchtet.

Die Auseinandersetzung mit der NS-Herrschaft drückt sich seit 1949 in den (unterschiedlichen) Positionen der Bundespräsidenten auf besondere Weise aus. In ihnen spiegelt sich die Geschichte der Bundesrepublik im Spannungsfeld von Verdrängung und Aufklärung. Bestrebungen, die Beteiligung der Deutschen an den Verbrechen des Hitler-Regimes zu relativieren, sind heute einem parteiübergreifenden Erinnerungskonsens gewichen. Dabei besteht aber die Gefahr, dass die nationale Beschwörung einer angeblich gelungenen Aufarbeitung die unverstellte Wahrnehmung der Taten und der Opfer ein weiteres Mal überlagert. Dieses Buch ist eine kritische Analyse der Reden der Bundespräsidenten von Theodor Heuss bis Christian Wulff zur NS-Vergangenheit und beschreibt gleichzeitig die widerspruchsreiche Identitätssuche der Bundesrepublik, die bis heute andauert.

Given the accountability movement, with its particular focus on student achievement and the advent of the evaluation era (including the evaluation of principals), the need for tools is even more urgent. This edited volume presents those tools with the aim of improving learning-centered principalship. The book is useful for researchers and policy makers as well as principals.
