Lexikon der Tiersymbolik (3927369616)

Wer romanische oder gotische Kirchen besucht, Mythen, Märchen, Fabeln oder Legenden liebt, wer die Sprache des Unbewussten wie in unseren Träumen besser verstehen will und wer schließlich in die Alltags- oder Werbesprache lauscht, der wird häufig auf Tiere stoßen: auf reale und auf Fabelwesen. Sie tragen vielschichtige Bedeutungen, halten Aussagen für und über uns bereit. Sie werden zu Symbolen, d. h., sie schließen Zugänge auf zum Seelischen und darüber hinaus zu transpersonalen Bereichen. Dieses Lexikon stellt die wichtigsten Tiersymbolträger aus dem abendländischen Kulturbereich von AZ vor und bietet darüber hinaus Einblicke in die Tiersymbolik außereuropäischer Kulturen. Dabei werden Erkenntnisse aus alten Mythen der Völker, aus vergleichender Religionsbetrachtung, aus Astronomie, Astrologie, Mystik, Tiefenpsychologie und Volkskunde prägnant und unterhaltsam vermittelt. Ausgehend von der Urbedeutung, die meist im Natur- oder Astralmythischen wurzelt und aus einer frühen Jägergesel...

Home-Based Medical Care for Older Adults : A Clinical Case Book (9783030234829)

As the population of older adults in the U.S. continues to grow, medical house calls are increasingly part of a system of comprehensive home-based care for patients who have difficulty accessing office-.based care. Clinicians who have been trained mostly in office and hospital settings must adapt their usual approaches to accommodate a wide range of environmental, social, and physical circumstances that impact home-limited patients. Ideally, a comprehensive team of clinicians proficient in multiple domains of functional, social, and medical care can work together to address potential gaps in any one clinician's expertise. Unfortunately, such teams are still rare. This book aims to equip individual clinicians with the interdisciplinary knowledge, skills, and perspective they need to provide the best care possible with limited formal interdisciplinary support. This book offers 20 patient cases drawn from the collective experience of experts in home-based medical care from highly resp...

Soft Robotics : Transferring Theory to Application (9783662445051)

The research areas as well as the knowledge gained for the practical use of robots are growing and expanding beyond manufacturing and industrial automation, making inroads in sectors such as health care and terrain sensing, as well as general assistive systems working in close interaction with humans. In a situation like this, it is necessary for future robot systems to become less stiff and more specialized by taking inspiration from the mechanical compliance and versatility found in natural materials and organisms. At present, a new discipline is emerging in this area, called "Soft Robotics". It particularly challenges the traditional thinking of engineers, as the confluence of technologies, ranging from new materials, sensors, actuators and production techniques to new design tools, will make it possible to create new systems whose structures are almost completely made of soft materials, which bring about entirely new functions and behaviors, similar in many ways to natur...

Healthy Parenting : A Guide To Creating A Healthy Family For Adult Children (9780671739492)

If you grew up in a troubled or dysfunctional family and suffered through a parent's problems with chronic illness, addiction, emotional upheaval, or loss, you probably know what you don't want for your kids. But you may lack the tools and experiences to create the nurturing home you do want: a place where your children's physical and emotional needs are consistently met and where your children feel safe, valued, and loved. In Healthy Parenting, Janet Woititz, a leading therapist, contrasts what happens in a healthy family with what happens in an unhealthy family to show just how your own upbringing influences the way you raise your children, and what you can do to make their upbringing better for them. For example: -- In a healthy family the child is always loved even if the child's behavior is unacceptable. In an unhealthy family not only is the behavior criticized but the child is shamed as well. -- In a healthy family the parent is teacher and guide. In an unhe...

Kant: Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals (9781107401068)

Published in 1785, Immanuel Kant's Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals ranks alongside Plato's Republic and Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics as one of the most profound and influential works in moral philosophy ever written. In Kant's own words, its aim is to identify and corroborate the supreme principle of morality, the categorical imperative. He argues that human beings are ends in themselves, never to be used by anyone merely as a means, and that universal and unconditional obligations must be understood as an expression of the human capacity for autonomy and self-governance. As such, they are laws of freedom. This volume contains Mary Gregor's acclaimed translation of the text into English, revised by Jens Timmermann, and an accessible, updated introduction by Christine Korsgaard.

Nie zweimal in denselben Fluß (394487272X)

Die Berichterstattung zu Björn Höcke besteht überwiegend aus Meinungen über ihn. Äußerungen von ihm sind den Medien eher selten zu entnehmen. Wenn es dann doch geschieht, werden seine Worte nur ausschnittsweise mit skandalisierender Absicht wiedergegeben. Derart wie ein bedrohliches Phänomen analysiert, kommt er als eigenständiger Autor seiner Äußerungen nicht in Betracht. Er dient nur als die harte Kante, an der die gegen ihn ausgesandten Signale zur Resonanz kommen. Keinesfalls soll er als Sender eines eigenen Programms wahrgenommen werden. Vorliegendes Buch korrigiert das Mißverhältnis, indem es Björn Höcke selbst ausführlich zu Wort kommen läßt. Seine Auffassung von den gegenwärtigen Verhältnissen ist dargelegt im Gedankenaustausch mit dem Künstler und Publizisten Sebastian Hennig. Beide Gesprächsteilnehmer gehören dem gleichen Jahrgang an, verlebten jedoch ihre Kindheit und Jugend in getrennten deutschen Teilstaaten. Die während eines Jahres geführten Gespräche spiegeln damit zug...
