Wendemanöver : Die geheimen Wege zur Wiedervereinigung. Das Ende der Kohl-Legende (3446402713)

Der Zusammenbruch der DDR und der Mauerfall kamen völlig überraschend, Kohl nutzte die Gunst der Stunde und leitete die deutsche Wiedervereinigung ein. Das ist die offizielle Lesart - bis heute. Dieses Buch macht mit dieser Kohl-Legende Schluss: Die Hauptakteure der Wende wurden keineswegs von den Geschehnissen 1989 überrascht. Vielmehr war sie das Resultat langjähriger konspirativer Verhandlungen und geheimdienstlich gesteuerter Aktionen zwischen West und Ost. Bereits Anfang der 80er-Jahre finden Geheimgespräche über eine größere Öffnung der Mauer statt. 1983 vermittelt Franz-Josef Strauß der wirtschaftlich angeschlagenen DDR einen Milliardenkredit und unterminiert damit diese Sondierungen. Doch das bringt nicht dauerhaft Hilfe: 1986 errechnet das Ministerium für Staatssicherheit in einer Studie den wirtschaftlichen Zusammenbruch der DDR in spätestens vier Jahren. 1987 signalisiert Gorbatschow Kohl eine Lösung der deutschen Frage. 1988 wird Kohl der erste Vorschlag gemacht. Doch de...

Habitat privé, hôtel ou hôpital? (9786139504336)

En 2006 le gouvernement suédois a alloué des ressources aux nouveaux établissements d'hébergement de personnes âgées et dépendantes (EHPAD), étant donné que le nombre d'appartements avait baissé de quinze pour cent. L'architecture suédoise d'EHPAD est soumise à des lignes directrices de conception promouvant l'idée d'un habitat accueillant : l'appartement est à considérer comme un domicile dans le logement ordinaire mais une partie de la superficie pour cuisiner et agir socialement est transférée à un espace commun. A propos de l'EHPAD, la Direction nationale de la santé et des affaires sociales (DNSAS) a découvert un manque de statistiques. De plus, l'effet des lignes directrices sur l'architecture d'EHPAD n'est pas évalué. Basée sur un échantillon de douze modèles de logements EHPAD, cette étude analyse leur effet sur l'espace architectural. On peut identifier trois scénarios conceptuels, montrant que les lignes directrices engendre...

Authority and Diplomacy from Dante to Shakespeare (9781409430209)

A detailed examination of the relationship between the discourses and practices of authority and diplomacy in the late medieval and early modern periods, Authority and Diplomacy from Dante to Shakespeare interrogates the persistent duality of the roles of author and ambassador. The volume approaches its subject from a literary-historical perspective, drawing upon late medieval and early modern ideas and discourses of diplomacy and authority, and examining how they are manifested within different forms of writing: drama, poetry, diplomatic correspondence, peace treaties, and household accounts. Contributors focus on major literary figures from different cultures, including Dante, Petrarch, and Tasso from Italy; and from England, Chaucer, Wyatt, Sidney, Spenser, and Shakespeare. In addition, the book moves between and across literary-historical periods, tracing the development of concepts and discourses of authority and diplomacy from the late medieval to the early modern period. Taken t...

111 Places in Manchester That You Shouldn't Miss (9783740807535)

Manchester is far more than a grey provincial city preoccupied with the business of making money. The bales of cotton goods awaiting export have gone from the grand warehouses styled like palaces, and the cotton mills no longer hum with the sound of machinery. Yet the buildings remain in all their glory of tiles, terracotta and stained glass - converted to hotels, offices, chic apartments, hipster bars, fine eateries or gritty drinking dens. The textile trade may have disappeared, but you can find sustainable fashion in the old rag-trade district, and top quality coats and jackets are still being hand-sewn in the last remaining family-owned clothing factory. This book will also take you to alternative Manchester - Radical Manchester from Peterloo to the Pankhursts, Literary Manchester from Elizabeth Gaskell to Anthony Burgess, and of course to Madchester, the crazy music scene of Morrissey, Tony Wilson, the Hacienda and Factory Records.

The Chinese Orange Mystery (9781613161067)

The offices of foreign literature publisher and renowned stamp collector Donald Kirk are often host to strange activities, but the most recent occurrence---the murder of an unknown caller, found dead in an empty waiting room--is unlike any that has come before. Nobody, it seems, entered or exited the room, and yet the crime scene clearly has been manipulated, leaving everything in the room turned backwards and upside down. Stuck through the back of the corpse's shirt are two long spears--and a tangerine is missing from the fruit bowl. Enter amateur sleuth Ellery Queen, who arrives just in time to witness the discovery of the body, only to be immediately drawn into a complex case in which no clue is too minor or too glaring to warrant careful consideration. Reprinted for the first time in over thirty years, The Chinese Orange Mystery is revered to this day for its challenging conceit and inventive solution. The book is a "fair-play" mystery in which readers have all the cl...

Drunken Angel : A Memoir (9781936740321)

Alan Kaufman has been compared to Jack Kerouac, Henry Miller, Hubert Selby Jr., even Ernest Hemmingway--his life reads so much like a great movie that the world of cinema has just optioned his first memoir, Jew Boy, for a feature film. Drunken Angel, his new autobiographical work, drops like a sledgehammer. It is the most gripping, chilling and inspiring account ever written of a life-long battle with alcoholism and the struggle to write. Graphic in its grit, an education in pain, Drunken Angel is being hailed as the Naked Lunch of memoirs. The book chronicles Kaufman's headlong plunge into the piratical life of a literary drunk, and takes us shamelessly through noirish alleyways of S&M sensuality, forbidden pleasures and pitfalls of adultery, the thrilling horrors of war, plus raging poetry nights, mental illness, homelessness, literary struggle and his strange, magnificent rise into a sobriety of personal triumph as crazily improbable as the famous and notorious figures he me...

With Heart in Mind : Mussar Teachings to Transform Your Life (9781611801521)

Introducing a weekly spiritual practice for developing a strong and open heart--drawn from Judaism's Mussar tradition Mussar is a practice that draws from the vast storehouse of Jewish wisdom, law, revelation, and text, bringing it right home in a way that is completely practical. Judaism teaches that Torah (the collective wisdom of the tradition) provides the blueprint for human experience--and so the more of it we acquire, the more we gain a clearer, truer perspective on life and learn how to navigate its pathways. The phrase "acquiring Torah" is code for the process of internalizing this wisdom to bring about a genuine transformation of the inner self. In short, accessible chapters, this book describes forty-eight methods through which we can acquire Torah--and turns them into a straightforward practice. These methods include cultivating humility, joy, awe, good-heartedness, closeness with friends, not taking credit for oneself, judging others favorably, and so on. The...

Character, Virtue Theories, and the Vices (9781551112251)

This book argues that the question posed by virtue theories, namely, "what kind of person should I be?" provides a more promising approach to moral questions than do either deontological or consequentialist moral theories where the concern is with what actions are morally required or permissible. It does so both by arguing that there are firmer theoretical foundations for virtue theories, and by persuasively suggesting the superiority of virtue theories over deontological and consquentialist theories on the question of explaining morally bad behavior. Virtue theories can give a richer account by appealing to the kinds of dispositions that make certain bad choices appear attractive. This richer account also exposes a further advantage of virtue theories: they provide the best kinds of motivations for agents to become better persons. Product details Format ...
