German South West Africa, 1905. The sickly Siegfried Bock comes to the colony to prove his mettle. But he soon becomes disillusioned. His path crosses that of Lisbeth Lowenstein, a poor Jewess who has to marry a German settler she’s hardly met, the Damara man Mordegai Guruseb, who escaped from a concentration camp, and the pseudoscientist Albert Pitzer. Against the background of the German killing of Hereros, these characters’ fates intertwine and each one’s humanity is severely tested.

This volume analyses current debates concerning problems in the nature, justification, and legal protection of human rights for minorities, with reference to the issues surrounding social milieu as a source of any legitimized law, which is in itself in need of legal recognition as well as being an object of legal protection. With contributions from a global network of scientists across several continents, the work examines the debate dedicated to the understanding of the normative framework, expressed in terms of human rights that guarantee autonomous action in public and private for minority groups as well as individuals. The chapters go on to study the particular claims that need to be audible and visible for others in the public sphere with reference to the legal protection of human rights. The work concludes with the completion of an interpretative circle debating the issues of legal consensus and legal identity with respect to the specificity of the patterns and modes guiding human interactions. Going beyond the legal analysis to discuss communication strategies in human rights, this collection will be of great interest to those studying the philosophy and theory of law, practical philosophy in general, political sciences and theory of democracy.

Two young women face the harsh realities of growing up surrounded by direct action, marijuana culture, and baking bread in the woods.25-year old Sapphire embarks on a quest to find her father, who vanished when she was ten and who, she believes, holds the key to her future.

Das Buch vermittelt ein grundlegendes Verständnis der Elektrotechnik anhand von Beispielen des alltäglichen Lebens und deren physikalischer Systeme. Daher werden häufig zu Beginn eines Abschnitts die Grundlagen anhand einführender Beispiele mit entsprechend notwendiger didaktischer Reduktion beschrieben. Mathematische Herleitungen werden nur an Stellen, an denen diese unbedingt notwendig sind, aufgeführt. Grundsätzlich wird eine anschauliche und möglichst einfache Darstellung verwendet. Ziel dieses Buches ist, nach einer verständlichen Einführung, die richtige wissen­schaft­liche Dar­stel­lung aufzuführen und dem Lesenden einen möglichst einfachen Zugang in die Elektrotechnik zu geben. Es richtet sich somit insbesondere an Studieren­de oder Studieninteressierte, die sich einen Einblick in die Elektrotechnik verschaffen wollen.
