There are few parts of the world that Christian Maillard (*1944) has not yet seen. His journeys throughout Europe, the United States, South America, the Far East, and Africa have influenced his photographic gaze: for him, travelling and taking photographs have been inseparably connected since childhood. Unadorned and straightforward, his analog black-and-white photographs present reality as he encounters it. Whether people, landscapes, or street scenes, his gaze is always direct, personal, engaging, and makes reference to photographer greats such as Henri Cartier-Bresson or André Kertész.The first monograph by the French photographer includes pictures taken all over the world between 1996 and 2016. An introduction by the FAZ journalist and photo specialist Freddy Langer provides a more specific classification of Maillard’s oeuvre.
Boston, 1865The last year has been incredibly painful for sisters Jane, Rebecca, Lucy, and Rose, to say the least. Their father had been killed in the Civil War, leaving the four young women devastated and orphaned. Now, the Adams sisters struggle to cope with the ravages of the War and are attempting to piece their lives back together eight months after the relentless fighting came to an end.Book 1: Mail Order Bride: Jane's Story: Jane Adams is still reeling from the deaths of both her father and her fianc e in the War. Though it has been more than a year since Adam's death and nearly two since her father's, she still cannot convince her mind to believe that it is real.Her sisters decide it's time for the four of them to leave Boston and start new lives away from the pain and difficult memories that haunt them. When they tell Jane about their idea to become mail order brides for men in the Frontier, Jane finds it hard to accept at first; her heart is still with Adam, and she cannot bear the thought of leaving the only home she has ever known--and what's left of the life that they could have had.In the newspaper, however, she finds an intriguing advertisement from a man in Oregon named John Grey. He has suffered heartbreak, too, and Jane thinks that perhaps this just might be the opportunity she needs after all. She makes plans to head out West to help him raise his daughter--which will get her out of Boston--but ultimately, his pain will keep him from wanting the type of relationship she thinks she can never have again. That is, until the letters start.Can these two overcome their own heartaches and find that sometimes it's what is behind us that keeps us going forward?Book 2: Mail Order Bride: Rebecca's Story: Rebecca spends days sifting through advertisements until, finally, she finds one from a man living in the Oregon Territory that sounds just perfect. Mr. Ezra Bolton seems sweet, romantic, and ready to start an enchanting new life with her. When she packs up her life and heads to Oregon, however, Rebecca learns a terrible secret about Mr. Bolton and her chances at the new beginning she longs for are threatened.Will Rebecca manage to find solace in this man, or will all hopes of starting anew be whisked away, leaving her in a more precarious position than she had been in before ever meeting Mr. Bolton?Book 3: Mail Order Bride: Lucy's Story: Lucy Adams dreams of a romance that she felt the Civil War stole from her. Just as she got to the age when she would be able to become a part of society like her older sisters and possibly find a beau, the fighting began, the men went to battle, and life became about far more than just courtship.In her despair, Lucy longs for a romance that will sweep her off her feet and give her a new life. When the time comes to meet her betrothed, however, she might just find that fairy tales are not always as they seem.Will she be able to see beyond what she thought she wanted to find what is truly right for her?Book 4: Mail Order Bride: Rose's Story: Rose knows that her three sisters are eager to get out of Boston; Rose, however, is not convinced by their plan.She does not like the idea of responding to the advertisements and feels that if she had the opportunity, she could make it on her own in the city. She was always more interested in the salons and businesses than courtships and marriage, anyway.When her sisters make it clear that they won't stand for her not joining them in Oregon, however, Rose has to decide how she can stay true to herself but not let down the only family she has left?

Le Lyon-Turin est le principal projet d'infrastructure sur lequel l'auteur a travaill , de 1994 2017, au sein des services r gionaux de l' tat, Lyon. En racontant son histoire, Christian Maisonnier cherche comprendre comment ce grand projet ferroviaire a t imagin et pourquoi son maillon principal, le tunnel de 57 km sous les Alpes, est en travaux, alors qu'aucune d cision n'est prise sur les lignes nouvelles tudi es entre Lyon et Turin, de part et d'autre de ce tunnel. Il met en lumi re la complexit du dossier et en donne une lecture accessible. Loin des pol miques et des id es pr con ues, il montre la diversit des interpr tations possibles de ces donn es. Il s'inspire des approches europ ennes ou suisses pour largir son analyse. Il constate que nos mod les actuels d' valuation socio- conomique des investissements, qui reposent trop sur la croissance, sont inadapt s pour d crire ce que nous attendons aujourd'hui de ce projet. Il pense que nous comprendrions mieux les d cisions prises, ou prendre, si nous adoptions une approche qui valoriserait la transition cologique et solidaire, suivant cette belle ambition qui a donn son nom, en 2017, son minist re de rattachement.
Berichtspflichten sind mittlerweile ein gebrauchliches Informationsmittel des Bundestages und der Landerparlamente. Insbesondere die Bundesregierung wird durch Gesetz oder -schlichten- Parlamentsbeschluss zu Berichten aufgefordert. Aber auch andere Organe, wie der Wehrbeauftragte oder der Bundesrechnungshof, haben Berichtspflichten zu erfullen. - In der Praxis ist festzustellen, dass Berichtsgesetze und -beschlusse oftmals in Inhalt und Funktion identisch sind. Trotzdem weisen beide Handlungsformen erhebliche rechtliche Unterschiede hinsichtlich Verfahren, Verbindlichkeit und Grenzen auf, die hier untersucht werden."
Seit dem Jahr 1995 existiert in Deutschland die Pflegeversicherung als eigenstandige Saule der sozialen Sicherung. Vor dem Hintergrund der sich vollziehenden demografischen Entwicklung offenbart sich zunehmender Reformbedarf und es sind Loesungsansatze vonnoeten, welche die Finanzierbarkeit des Systems bei gleichzeitiger Ausrichtung an den Praferenzen der Burger gewahrleisten. Dies legt eine Foerderung der Bereitschaft und Moeglichkeit zur informellen Pflege nahe, da diese Form sowohl als kostengunstigste als auch gefragteste Pflegeleistung gilt. In dieser Arbeit schliesst sich an die Darstellung des Status quo sowie der modelltheoretischen Grundlagen eine empirische Analyse der Anreize zur informellen Pflege in Europa an. Die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse ermoeglichen einen Vergleich mit den Anreizwirkungen in Deutschland sowie die Ableitung von Politikimplikationen.
