'She had saved her. But at what a cost! Her position, her name, her character - she had given them all, but Clarissa was hers.' Upon the death of her mother, Agatha Bodenham finds herself alone for the first time in her life. Solitary and socially awkward by nature, she starts to dream about her imaginary childhood friend - the only friend she ever had. Much to her surprise, Clarissa starts to appear, fleetingly at first, and engage with her, and eventually becomes visible to everyone else. Agatha, a 32-year- old spinster, must explain the child's 'sudden' appearance. In a moment of panic, she pretends that Clarissa is her own daughter, her love child. Olivier constructs a mother/daughter relationship which is both poignant and playful. As the years roll by and Clarissa grows into a beautiful young woman, Agatha's love becomes increasingly obsessive as she senses Clarissa slipping away, attracted by new interests and people her own age.
Die vorliegende Studie enthalt die Ergebnisse einer Evaluierung psychologischer und padagogischer Auswirkungen der Schulerheimerziehung auf dem Hintergrund von Entwicklungsproblemen in Indien. Sie ist das Resultat der Gemeinschaftsarbeit einer indisch-deutschen Forschergruppe. Nach einer allgemeinen Darstellung der mit Schulerheimerziehung in Entwicklungslandern verbundenen psychologischen und padagogischen Probleme (besonders im Anschluss an die Arbeit von Thomas: -Entwicklung durch Erziehung-, 1980) werden die Untersuchungsstichproben (Schuler, ehemalige Schuler, Eltern, Heimerzieher, Lehrer) und die Untersuchungsmethoden (Interview, Beobachtungen, Test) beschrieben. Die Untersuchungsergebnisse werden thematisch geordnet dargestellt und im Hinblick auf Probleme und Moglichkeiten von Heimerziehung interpretiert. Es kann gezeigt werden, wie unter Beachtung spezifischer padagogischer, psychologischer und sozio-okonomischer Grundlagen die Erziehung von Kindern in Schulerheimen zu einer Forderung ihrer Personlichkeitsentwicklung und zur Verbesserung der sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Lage ihrer Familien beitragt. Eine Analyse der Bedeutung und Grenzen von Evaluierungsstudien in Entwicklungsprojekten beschliesst die Studie."
Edith Stein (1891-1942) fremstår som en av den katolske kirkes betydeligste skikkelser i det tyvende århundre. Hun var tysk filosof av jødisk av-stamning, Edmund Husserl's assistent, en profilert foredragsholder og forkjemper for kvinners rettigheter, en aktiv skribent og faglig formidler, senere kontemplativ karmelittnonne og mystiker, og - med utallige andre - i fortsatt ung alder avlivet i Auschwitz. Hun ble helligkåret i den katolske kirke i 1998 under sitt klosternavn, sr. Theresia Benedicta av Korset. Artiklene i denne boken lar først og fremst filosofen Edith Stein komme til orde: Tekststudiene spenner fra hennes tidligste filosofiske arbeider til de senere årenes utvikling av en mer spesifikt religiøs og teologisk tematikk.
Die hier pr sentierten 28 Waldgedichte von Thomas Stemmer sind ein Auszug aus dem Script Nomen Nominandum. 108 Waldgedichte. W hrend das gesamte Script unver ffentlicht ist, spuken so manche Fragmente daraus verschiedentlich publiziert herum: Wie Waldgeister eben. Von ihnen angetan, f hlte sich Edith Wittich mit ihren Waldobjekten verwandt. Beide stimmten einem gemeinsamen Projekt zu und ein Konvolut aus Waldgedichten und Waldobjekten entstand. Die 26 Waldobjekte geh ren zu einer umfangreicheren k nstlerischen Arbeit.
Fungi are ubiquitous in the world and responsible for driving the evolution and governing the sustainability of ecosystems now and in the past. Fossil Fungi is the first encyclopedic book devoted exclusively to fossil fungi and their activities through geologic time. The book begins with the historical context of research on fossil fungi (paleomycology), followed by how fungi are formed and studied as fossils, and their age. The next six chapters focus on the major lineages of fungi, arranging them in phylogenetic order and placing the fossils within a systematic framework. For each fossil the age and provenance are provided. Each chapter provides a detailed introduction to the living members of the group and a discussion of the fossils that are believed to belong in this group. The extensive bibliography (~ 2700 entries) includes papers on both extant and fossil fungi. Additional chapters include lichens, fungal spores, and the interactions of fungi with plants, animals, and the geosphere. The final chapter includes a discussion of fossil bacteria and other organisms that are fungal-like in appearance, and known from the fossil record. The book includes more than 475 illustrations, almost all in color, of fossil fungi, line drawings, and portraits of people, as well as a glossary of more than 700 mycological and paleontological terms that will be useful to both biologists and geoscientists.
Antologien Motorik og bevægelse i børns liv diskuterer, hvordan forskellige traditioner og definitioner kan bidrage til en helhedsorienteret forståelse af motorik og bevægelse med henblik på at fremme børns livskvalitet. Den bygger på pædagogiske, sociologiske, terapeutiske, psykologiske og kulturteoretiske teorier samt praktiske erfaringer fra daginstitutioner, skoler, idrætsforeninger og behandlingstilbud. Bogen henvender sig til alle, der arbejder fagligt med børns motorik og bevægelse og interesserer sig for, hvordan bevægelse kan bidrage til et rigere hverdagsliv for børn. Målet er at bygge bro mellem forskellige videnskabelige traditioner, forskellige professioner og frivillige der arbejder med børn, samt mellem teori og praksis.

Though Christians the world over make yearly preparations for Lent, there’s a conspicuous lack of good books for that other great spiritual season: Advent. All the same, this four-week period leading up to Christmas is making a comeback as growing numbers reject shopping-mall frenzy and examine the deeper meaning of the season. Ecumenical in scope, these fifty devotions invite the reader to contemplate the great themes of Christmas and the significance that the coming of Jesus has for each of us – not only during Advent, but every day. Whether dipped into at leisure or used on a daily basis, Watch for the Light gives the phrase “holiday preparations” new depth and meaning.

'Another dark parable of society's vilification of women. Intelligent... A tantalizing investigation' Kate Colquhoun. On the night of 3 October 1922, in the quiet suburb of Ilford, Edith Thompson and her husband Percy were walking home after an evening spent at a London theatre, when a man sprang out of the darkness and stabbed Percy to death. The assailant was Frederick Bywaters, a twenty-year-old merchant seaman who had been Edith's lover. When the police learned of his relationship with Edith, she was arrested as his accomplice, despite protesting her innocence. The remarkably intense love letters Edith wrote to Freddy – some of them couched in ambiguous language – were read out at their trial for murder at the Old Bailey. They would seal her fate: Edith and Freddy were hanged for the murder of Percy Thompson in January 1923. Freddy was demonstrably guilty; but was Edith truly so? In shattering detail and with masterful emotional insight, Laura Thompson charts the course of a liaison with thrice-fatal consequences, and investigates what the trial and execution of Edith Thompson tell us about perceptions of women in early twentieth-century Britain.
