What does a middle-class democracy look like when it comes apart? When, after forty years of economic triumph, America’s winners persuade themselves that they owe nothing to the rest of the country? With his sharp eye for detail, Thomas Frank takes us on a wide-ranging tour through present-day America, showing us a society in the late stages of disintegration and describing the worlds of both the winners and the losers - the sprawling mansion districts as well as the lives of fast-food workers. Rendezvous with Oblivion is a collection of interlocking essays examining how inequality has manifested itself in our cities, in our jobs, in the way we travel - and of course in our politics, where in 2016, millions of anxious ordinary people rallied to the presidential campaign of a billionaire who meant them no good. These accounts of folly and exploitation are here brought together in a single volume unified by Frank’s distinctive voice, sardonic wit, and anti-orthodox perspective. They capture a society where every status signifier is hollow, where the allure of mobility is just another con game, and where rebellion too often yields nothing. For those who despair of the future of our country and of reason itself, Rendezvous with Oblivion is a booster shot of energy, reality, and moral outrage.
In an engaging, personal style, The Making of an Ex-Minister details one man's journey to fulfill his call to Christian ministry. In 1953, unabashedly idealistic, 22-year old Tony Pal enters seminary in preparation for a life of service rooted in unconditional love, compassion and justice. But unlike his call, the institutions of school and church prove to be riddled with hypocrisy, fear and questionable ethics. Exploring his own insecurities along side studies of Kierkegaard and Francis of Assisi, Tony details the pain and poignancy of awakening to the failings of the church and his eventual decision to pursue his Christian calling outside the institution bearing its name.

Wie reagieren Pflanzen auf Umwelteinflüsse? Wie sind Pflanzengemeinschaften in Mitteleuropa und global verbreitet? Wie "funktionieren" Ökosysteme auf der Basis pflanzlicher Biomasseproduktion? Gestützt auf den aktuellen Stand der Wissenschaft, gibt dieses Buch prägnante Erklärungen zu diesen Fragen, die anhand zahlreicher Beispiele und Fallstudien erläutert werden. Ausgehend von kurz gefassten botanisch-naturwissenschaftlichen Grundlagen vor dem Hintergrund der pflanzlichen Evolution, werden der Stoffhaushalt und seine Anpassungen an Umweltbedingungen von der Einzelpflanze bis zur Ökosystemebene vorgestellt. Exemplarisch werden wichtige Pflanzengesellschaften Mitteleuropas sowie die wesentlichen Vegetationszonen der Erde präsentiert. Mit der Darstellung bedeutsamer anthropogener Einflüsse schließt das Buch ab. Es wendet sich an Studierende in biologisch-umweltwissenschaftlichen Bachelor-Studiengängen sowie als Einführungs- und Übersichtswerk an alle in diesen Bereichen lehrend oder praktisch Tätigen.
With much of the intellectual discourse of the last several decades concerned with reconsiderations of modernity, how do we read the works of Jonathan Swift, who ridiculed the modern even as it was taking shape? The author approaches the question of modernity in Swift by way of a theory of satire from Aristotle via Swift (and Bakhtin) that eschews modern notions that satire is meant to reform and correct. Linking satire to Nemesis, the goddess of righteous vengeance, Swift as Nemesis develops new readings of Swift's major satires. From his first published work, Swift associates the modern with the new science and represents modernity as a pernicious strain of narcissism that devalues humanistic discourse. In his early satires, he compiles a profane history of the modern in which the new philosophy is an extension of the methodology of alchemists, the debased Roman Catholic Church, and the various Puritan sects. This history culminates in A Tale of a Tub with an assault on the intellectual basis of that most formidable of all modern works, Newton's Principia. In Gulliver's Travels, Swift attacks modern culture while aiming at individual readers. Novelistic identification with Gulliver's narcissism (beginning with masturbation and encompassing various scatological observations) implicates readers in the larger cultural critique in which Gulliver, paralleling Narcissus, rejects cultures he encounters until he embraces a cultural image that destroys him. The wider cultural implications of Swift's work are evident in the way he uses travel as a metaphor to link the inhuman consequences of European imperialism with the discoveries of the new science. Finally, Swift's works, like the mirror Nemesis uses to destroy Narcissus, are shown to return the narcissistic projections of critics. Recognizing that Narcissus and Echo have become important to the critique of modernism, the author argues that readers will find it useful now to turn to the contextualizing role of Nemesis. She emerges from Swift's critically irreducible satire with an ironic claim on modernity itself.
