Sie wurde von allen nur Gretel genannt: Margarete Schneider, die Ehefrau des Buchenwaldpredigers Paul Schneider. Er war der erste Geistliche, der von den Nazis hingerichtet wurde, weil er nicht den neuen Führerkult predigte sondern Gott. Gretel stand treu an seiner Seite. Stark und bescheiden, gradlinig im Glauben, gefasst und doch leidenschaftlich überbrachte sie nach dem Tod ihres Mannes die gemeinsamen sechs Kinder, sein Erbe und seine Botschaft den nachfolgenden Generationen. Ihr Leben...

"Den Namen dürft ihr nicht vergessen, Paul Schneider ist unser erster Märtyrer", so warnt Dietrich Bonhoeffer eindringlich, als er erfährt, dass sein Amtsbruder im KZ Buchenwald zu Tode gekommen ist. Die Lebensgeschichte Schneiders zeigt, wie er immer wieder Zuflucht bei Gott fand und auch anderen dadurch Kraft zum Überleben gab. Anlässlich zu seinem 75. Todestag 2014 sollen eine Ausstellung im Stadtmuseum Weimar und verschiedene Gedenkfeiern in Buchenwald an Paul Schneider erinnern. Neu h...

ôThe ugly wife is a treasure at homeö is not just an idle expression in China. For centuries, Chinese marriage involved matchmakers, child brides, dowries, and concubines, until the PeopleÆs Republic of China was established by Mao Zedong and his Communist Party in 1949. Initially encouraging citizens to reject traditional arranged marriages and instead wed for love, the party soon spurned ôthe sin of putting love first,ö fearful that romantic love would distract good Communists from selfl...

Money laundering is the process of converting or transferring cash or other assets, generated from illegal activity, in order to conceal or disguise their origins. In recent years, the international community has decided that focusing on money laundering is an efficient strategy in policing organized crime and, now terrorism. To this end, countries are encouraged to harmonize their policies and legislation and, to some extent, their policing strategies. Before adopting these new strategies...

Queering Elementary Education is not about teaching kids to be gay, lesbian, bisexual, or straight. It's not part of a sinister stratagem in the “gay agenda.” Instead, these provocative and thoughtful essays advocate the creation of classrooms that challenge categorical thinking, promote interpersonal intelligence, and foster critical consciousness.Queer elementary classrooms are those where parents and educators care enough about their children to trust the human capacity...

The environment that we construct affects both humans and our natural world in myriad ways. There is a pressing need to create healthy places and to reduce the health threats inherent in places already built. However, there has been little awareness of the adverse effects of what we have constructed-or the positive benefits of well designed built environments.This book provides a far-reaching follow-up to the pathbreaking Urban Sprawl and Public Health, published in 2004. That book...

Offering strategies and techniques for teaching modern foreign languages - an often severely challenging subject for pupils with dyslexia - this book is specifically designed to meet the needs of the busy subject specialist teacher looking for guidance on supporting pupils.

This book presents an accessible and state-of-the-art survey of current research on social dilemmas. A social dilemma arises when actions that are justifiable in terms of individual rationality (e.g. over-harvesting resources, or using private instead of public transportation) threaten the common good and in the long run the individual's own self-interest as well. The study of social dilemmas has important links with many areas in psychology, as well as with cognate disciplines such as ris...

This volume collects the most important contributions from four minisymposia from ICIAM 2019. The papers highlight cutting-edge applications of Cartesian CFD methods and describe the employed algorithms and numerical schemes. An emphasis is laid on complex multi-physics applications like magnetohydrodynamics, combustion, aerodynamics with fluid-structure interaction, solved with various discretizations, e.g. finite difference, finite volume, multiresolution or lattice Boltzmann CFD schemes...

Beim Barte des seufzenden Stanislaus, der erste Teil der Reise mit der Nervensäge Philip Matolla, genannt "Jojo", war schon anstrengend genug - aber geradezu ein Kinderspiel im Vergleich zu dem, was ich als "Onkel Balduin" mit meinem "Neffen" auf den schwankenden Planken der "Aphrodite" erdulden musste! Aber, ganz unter uns gesagt, Spaß gemacht hat's trotzdem, denn es wurde, wie ich zu sagen pflege, ein "Fällchen mit Knällchen"!
