Godly Play ist ein Konzept spiritueller Bildung. Es lädt Kinder, Jugendliche und Erwachsene dazu ein, Grundfragen ihres Lebens und Glaubens nachzugehen und eine Sprache für diese Auseinandersetzungen zu finden. Auf spielerische und kreative Weise verknüpft Godly Play Impulse aus der Montessori-Pädagogik mit biblischen Geschichten und christlichen Traditionen. Das Konzept wurde seit 1970 von Jerome Berryman (USA) entwickelt und wird seit ca. 2003 in Kirchgemeinden, Kindergärten, Schulen und anderen Bildungsorten im deutschsprachigen Raum eingesetzt und dabei stetig weiterentwickelt. In diesem Einführungsband skizziert Berryman wichtige Zugänge und Grundlagen von Godly Play, z.B. zum Spiel-Verständnis und zu den unterschiedlichen Erfahrungs-Horizonten von Kindern und Erwachsenen. Gut lesbar und mit vielen Beispielen erläutert er die pädagogischen und theologischen Wurzeln des Konzeptes und zeigt auf, wie Godly Play in verschiedenen praktischen Kontexten eingesetzt werden kann. Anhänge informieren über den Autor und die von ihm zugrunde gelegte Literatur. Spirituelle Bildung für Kinder, Jugendliche und Erwachsene • spielerische Vertiefung in die Sprache des Glaubens • in Kita, Schule und Gemeinde vielfach bewährt Godly Play ist ein Konzept spiritueller Bildung. Es lädt Kinder, Jugendliche und Erwachsene dazu ein, Grundfragen ihres Lebens und Glaubens nachzugehen und eine Sprache für diese Auseinandersetzungen zu finden. Auf spielerische und kreative Weise verknüpft Godly Play Impulse aus der Montessori Pädagogik mit biblischen Geschichten und christlichen Traditionen. Im deutschsprachigen Raum hat sich Godly Play in Kirchgemeinden, Kindergärten, Schulen und anderen Bildungsorten etabliert und bewährt. Die neue Auflage der Buchreihe dokumentiert die Weiterentwicklungen des Konzeptes in den Grundlagen (Bd. 1 und 5) wie in den Praxisentwürfen (Bd.2 bis 4). Godly Play is a concept for spiritual formation and religious education. It invites children, young people and adults to explore fundamental questions about their lives and faith as well as to find a language for these discussions. In a playful and creative way, Godly Play combines impulses from Montessori education with biblical stories and Christian traditions. Godly Play has established itself in the religious educational landscape of the German-speaking world and has proven effective in churches, early chldhood education, schools and other learning environments. This new edition of the book series documents the further development of Godly Plays's basic principles (Volumes 1 and 5) and practices (Volumes 2 to 4).

Gottesdienste in freikirchlichen Kontexten beruhen nicht auf schriftlichen Gottesdienstbüchern oder Agenden. Dennoch ist ihre Gestaltung nicht willkürlich. Diese qualitativ empirische Studie untersucht anhand ausgewählter freikirchlicher Gottesdienste der deutschsprachigen Schweiz deren impliziten Logiken und leitenden theologischen Motive. Dabei zeigt sich ein aufschlussreiches Zusammenspiel von Glaubensüberzeugung, Alltagsbezug, Allgemeinem Priestertum und Mission. Diese und weitere theologische Akzente werden diskutiert und in den ökumenisch-liturgiewissenschaftlichen Diskurs eingezeichnet. Die Studie leistet damit einen Beitrag für das Verständnis freikirchlicher Gottesdienstkultur, eröffnet Perspektiven für wechselseitige Lernprozesse und bietet Anregungen zu einer theologisch reflektierten Gottesdienstgestaltung. [Free Church Worship Services: Empirical Analysis and Theological Reflections] Free Church worship services are not based on written service books. However, their design is not arbitrary. The qualitative research examines their implicit logics and leading theological motifs based on selected free church services in German-speaking Switzerland. This reveals an insightful interplay of belief, everyday life, priesthood of all believers and mission. These and other theological accents are discussed and drawn into the ecumenical-liturgical discourse. The study thus makes a contribution to the understanding of free church worship culture, opens up perspectives for mutual learning processes and offers suggestions for theologically reflected forms of worship.

Old English (or "Englisc") is the English language as recorded from around the year 700 to 1100. Spoken by King Alfred the Great and Lady Godiva, the Venerable Bede and Edward the Confessor, it is the language of such classics as "Beowulf", "The Dream of the Rood", and "The Seafarer". After 1100 the language went through a period of change so rapid that, by the time two centuries had passed, few could read these old texts. And yet "Englisc" really is English-much closer to the language of Chaucer, Shakespeare, Pope, and Dickens, and much easier for English speakers to learn, than such modern languages as French, Spanish, and German. For those interested in learning the oldest variety of English, this translation of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" may provide a pleasurable study aid: just set the modern text and this one side by side and compare the two. But be careful! In this book, Lewis Carroll's classic tale has been transported into the distant past, before the English had ever heard of tea, imagined a device as sophisticated as a watch, or even seen a rabbit (a later invasive species). Instead, they drank beer, mead, or (when they could get it) wine; an exceptionally learned scholar might have known how to tell time with an astrolabe; and the most familiar long-eared animal was the hare. These and many other differences between the England of Lewis Carroll and that of King Alfred are represented in this book's text and illustrations both. In addition, the magnificent poems of "Alice" ("How Doth the Little Crocodile", "You Are Old, Father William", and more) have been rendered into the meter and idiom of "Beowulf", thus becoming satires of Old English heroic poetry as well as of the moralistic verse that Carroll lampooned with such devastating effect.

Volcanic eruptions are the clear and dramatic expression of dynamic processes in planet Earth. The author, one of the most profound specialists in the field of volcanology, explains in a concise and easy to understand manner the basics and most recent findings in the field. Based on over 300 color figures and the model of plate tectonics, the book offers insight into the generation of magmas and the occurrence and origin of volcanoes. The analysis and description of volcanic structures is followed by process oriented chapters discussing the role of magmatic gases as well as explosive mechanisms and sedimentation of volcanic material. The final chapters deal with the forecast of eruptions and their influence on climate. Students and scientists of a broad range of fields will use this book as an interesting and attractive source of information. Laypeople will find it a highly accessible and graphically beautiful way to acquire a state-of-the-art foundation in this fascinating field. "Volcanism by Hans-Ulrich Schmincke has photos of the best quality I have ever seen in a text on the subject... In addition, the schematic figures in their wide range of styles are clear, colorful, and simplified to emphasize the most important factors while including all significant features... "I have really enjoyed reading and rereading Schmincke's book. It fills a great gap in texts available for teaching any basic course in volcanology. No other book I know of has the depth and breadth of Volcanism... I have shared Volcanism with my colleagues to their significant benefit, and I am more convinced of its value for a broad range of Earth and planetary scientists. Undoubtedly, I will use Volcanism for my upcoming courses in volcanology. I will never hesitate to recommend it to others. Many geoscientists from very different subdisciplines will benefit from adding the book to their personal libraries. Schmincke has done us all a great service by undertaking the grueling task of writing the book - and it is much better that he alone wrote it." Stanley N. Williams, ASU Tempe, AZ (Physics Today, April 2005) "Schmincke is a German volcanologist with an international reputation, and he has done us all a great favour because he sensibly channelled his fascination with volcanoes into writing this beautifully illustrated book... [he] tackles the entire geological setting of volcanoes within the earth and the processes that form them... And, with more than 400 colour illustrations, including a huge number of really excellent new diagrams, cutaway models and maps, plus a rich glossary and references, this book is accessible to anyone with an interest in the subject." New Scientist (March 2004) "The science of volcanology has made tremendous progress over the past 40 years, primarily because of technological advances and because each tragic eruption has led researchers to recognize the processes behind such serious hazards. Yet scientists are still learning a great deal because of photographs that either capture those processes in action or show us the critical factors left behind in the rock record.Volcanism by Hans-Ulrich Schmincke has photos of the best quality I have ever seen in a text on the subject. I found myself wishing that I had had the photo of Nicaragua's Masaya volcano, which was the subject of my dissertation, but it was Schmincke who was able to include it in his book. In addition, the schematic figures in their wide range of styles are clear, colorful, and simplified to emphasize the most important factors while including all significant features. The book's paper is of such high quality that at times I felt I had turned two pages rather than one. I have really enjoyed reading and rereading Schmincke's book. It fills a great gap in texts available for teaching any basic course in volcanology. No other book I know of has the depth and breadth of Volcanism. I was disappointed that the text did not arrive on my desk until last August, when it was

Unwilling to let her past define her, Dr. Gail Finney has carved an impressive, successful career—and life—for herself. In this emotional and inspirational memoir, she tells her remarkable story. Learn how she ascended from the roach motel to the ivory tower. In a word, Dr. Gail Finney could be described as resilient. Her childhood was turbulent. She and her family lived below the poverty line, and before she was eighteen years old, Gail moved twenty times. It was difficult, attending new schools and trying to make friends. On the home front, Gail watched her divorced parents and sisters struggle with alcoholism, and a close family friend—someone Gail had viewed as an uncle—molested her. Tragically, when she was only twenty years old, her mother and half-brother died in a murder-suicide by her mother's hands. The life she'd known was ripped away, and she was forced to rebuild. However, Gail didn't let her past stand in her way. Instead, she found solace and hope in the world of academia. During her academic career, Gail spent considerable time in Germany, witnessing its reconstruction post–World War II and the fall of the Berlin Wall. These trips cemented her love for German culture and literature. She excelled academically, and at Princeton University, she graduated summa cum laude. Afterwards, she received her doctorate from UC Berkeley. Until her retirement, she worked as a professor of comparative literature and German at UC Davis. Over the course of her tenure, she won many awards, and she wrote or edited eight books and forty-five articles. She has also found stability in her personal life. Despite a rocky start in the world of love, Gail is now happily married to her wonderful husband, Bill. For the past five years, she has been making the most of her retirement—traveling widely, learning Spanish, taking piano lessons, and participating in community theatre. Every day, she counts her blessings. Gail's powerful story reminds readers that anyone can rise from unstable beginnings and find fulfillment, joy, and success. Fans of Educated by Tara Westover and The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls will surely enjoy this touching, inspiring memoir.

Godly Play ist ein Konzept spiritueller Bildung. Es lädt Kinder, Jugendliche und Erwachsene dazu ein, Grundfragen ihres Lebens und Glaubens nachzugehen und eine Sprache für diese Auseinandersetzungen zu finden. Auf spielerische und kreative Weise verknüpft Godly Play Impulse aus der Montessori-Pädagogik mit biblischen Geschichten und christlichen Traditionen. Das Konzept wurde seit 1970 von Jerome Berryman (USA) entwickelt und wird seit ca. 2003 in Kirchgemeinden, Kindergärten, Schulen und anderen Bildungsorten im deutschsprachigen Raum eingesetzt und dabei stetig weiterentwickelt. In diesem Einführungsband skizziert Berryman wichtige Zugänge und Grundlagen von Godly Play, z.B. zum Spiel-Verständnis und zu den unterschiedlichen Erfahrungs-Horizonten von Kindern und Erwachsenen. Gut lesbar und mit vielen Beispielen erläutert er die pädagogischen und theologischen Wurzeln des Konzeptes und zeigt auf, wie Godly Play in verschiedenen praktischen Kontexten eingesetzt werden kann. Anhänge informieren über den Autor und die von ihm zugrunde gelegte Literatur. Spirituelle Bildung für Kinder, Jugendliche und Erwachsene spielerische Vertiefung in die Sprache des Glaubens in Kita, Schule und Gemeinde vielfach bewährt Godly Play ist ein Konzept spiritueller Bildung. Es lädt Kinder, Jugendliche und Erwachsene dazu ein, Grundfragen ihres Lebens und Glaubens nachzugehen und eine Sprache für diese Auseinandersetzungen zu finden. Auf spielerische und kreative Weise verknüpft Godly Play Impulse aus der Montessori Pädagogik mit biblischen Geschichten und christlichen Traditionen. Im deutschsprachigen Raum hat sich Godly Play in Kirchgemeinden, Kindergärten, Schulen und anderen Bildungsorten etabliert und bewährt. Die neue Auflage der Buchreihe dokumentiert die Weiterentwicklungen des Konzeptes in den Grundlagen (Bd. 1 und 5) wie in den Praxisentwürfen (Bd.2 bis 4). Godly Play is a concept for spiritual formation and religious education. It invites children, young people and adults to explore fundamental questions about their lives and faith as well as to find a language for these discussions. In a playful and creative way, Godly Play combines impulses from Montessori education with biblical stories and Christian traditions. Godly Play has established itself in the religious educational landscape of the German-speaking world and has proven effective in churches, early chldhood education, schools and other learning environments. This new edition of the book series documents the further development of Godly Plays's basic principles (Volumes 1 and 5) and practices (Volumes 2 to 4).

Gottesdienste in freikirchlichen Kontexten beruhen nicht auf schriftlichen Gottesdienstbüchern oder Agenden. Dennoch ist ihre Gestaltung nicht willkürlich. Diese qualitativ empirische Studie untersucht anhand ausgewählter freikirchlicher Gottesdienste der deutschsprachigen Schweiz deren impliziten Logiken und leitenden theologischen Motive. Dabei zeigt sich ein aufschlussreiches Zusammenspiel von Glaubensüberzeugung, Alltagsbezug, Allgemeinem Priestertum und Mission. Diese und weitere theologische Akzente werden diskutiert und in den ökumenisch-liturgiewissenschaftlichen Diskurs eingezeichnet. Die Studie leistet damit einen Beitrag für das Verständnis freikirchlicher Gottesdienstkultur, eröffnet Perspektiven für wechselseitige Lernprozesse und bietet Anregungen zu einer theologisch reflektierten Gottesdienstgestaltung. [Free Church Worship Services: Empirical Analysis and Theological Reflections] Free Church worship services are not based on written service books. However, their design is not arbitrary. The qualitative research examines their implicit logics and leading theological motifs based on selected free church services in German-speaking Switzerland. This reveals an insightful interplay of belief, everyday life, priesthood of all believers and mission. These and other theological accents are discussed and drawn into the ecumenical-liturgical discourse. The study thus makes a contribution to the understanding of free church worship culture, opens up perspectives for mutual learning processes and offers suggestions for theologically reflected forms of worship.

Volcanic eruptions are the clear and dramatic expression of dynamic processes in planet Earth. The author, one of the most profound specialists in the field of volcanology, explains in a concise and easy to understand manner the basics and most recent findings in the field. Based on over 300 color figures and the model of plate tectonics, the book offers insight into the generation of magmas and the occurrence and origin of volcanoes. The analysis and description of volcanic structures is followed by process oriented chapters discussing the role of magmatic gases as well as explosive mechanisms and sedimentation of volcanic material. The final chapters deal with the forecast of eruptions and their influence on climate. Students and scientists of a broad range of fields will use this book as an interesting and attractive source of information. Laypeople will find it a highly accessible and graphically beautiful way to acquire a state-of-the-art foundation in this fascinating field. "Volcanism by Hans-Ulrich Schmincke has photos of the best quality I have ever seen in a text on the subject… In addition, the schematic figures in their wide range of styles are clear, colorful, and simplified to emphasize the most important factors while including all significant features… "I have really enjoyed reading and rereading Schmincke’s book. It fills a great gap in texts available for teaching any basic course in volcanology. No other book I know of has the depth and breadth of Volcanism… I have shared Volcanism with my colleagues to their significant benefit, and I am more convinced of its value for a broad range of Earth and planetary scientists. Undoubtedly, I will use Volcanism for my upcoming courses in volcanology. I will never hesitate to recommend it to others. Many geoscientists from very different subdisciplines will benefit from adding the book to their personal libraries. Schmincke has done us all a great service by undertaking the grueling task of writing the book – and it is much better that he alone wrote it." Stanley N. Williams, ASU Tempe, AZ (Physics Today, April 2005) "Schmincke is a German volcanologist with an international reputation, and he has done us all a great favour because he sensibly channelled his fascination with volcanoes into writing this beautifully illustrated book... [he] tackles the entire geological setting of volcanoes within the earth and the processes that form them... And, with more than 400 colour illustrations, including a huge number of really excellent new diagrams, cutaway models and maps, plus a rich glossary and references, this book is accessible to anyone with an interest in the subject." New Scientist (March 2004) "The science of volcanology has made tremendous progress over the past 40 years, primarily because of technological advances and because each tragic eruption has led researchers to recognize the processes behind such serious hazards. Yet scientists are still learning a great deal because of photographs that either capture those processes in action or show us the critical factors left behind in the rock record.Volcanism by Hans-Ulrich Schmincke has photos of the best quality I have ever seen in a text on the subject. I found myself wishing that I had had the photo of Nicaragua’s Masaya volcano, which was the subject of my dissertation, but it was Schmincke who was able to include it in his book. In addition, the schematic figures in their wide range of styles are clear, colorful, and simplified to emphasize the most important factors while including all significant features. The book’s paper is of such high quality that at times I felt I had turned two pages rather than one. I have really enjoyed reading and rereading Schmincke’s book. It fills a great gap in texts available for teaching any basic course in volcanology. No other book I know of has the depth and breadth of Volcanism. I was disappointed that the text did not arrive on my desk until last August, when it was too la

Bilingual edition (English/German) / Zweisprachige Ausgabe (deutsch/englisch) Flashing facades, high-end-casinos and neon lights—isn´t that how one knows the gambling metropolis of Las Vegas? But what picture does the city have to offer beyond the pulsing pleasure boulevard The Strip? Urbanizing the Mojave Desert: Las Vegas shows us the unknown, desolate side of Las Vegas and its environs. There, where the suburbs in the desert encroach on nature and change it, the book reveals the surprising connenctions between the abstract architectonic sculptures which mark the image of Las Vegas, and the spacious abstractions of nature in the Mojave Desert. In Learning from Las Vegas Robert Venturi and Denise Scott-Brown focused on the glamour of the Las Vegas Strip, analyzing the city for its postmodernist qualities while ignoring the Mojave desert immediately beyond. Exploring the city at the same time as Venturi and Scott-Brown, the renowned architectural historian and critic Reyner Banham focused his attention on what he saw as the strikingly modernist spaces of the Mojave desert and disregarded the postmodernist lure of the Strip. Urbanizing the Mojave Desert: Las Vegas presents neither a modernist nor a postmodernist view of the city and its environment. The text and images do not project ideals of urban development, nor do they solve social and environmental problems. Rather, they present a hybrid landscape shaped and reshaped by practices of everyday urbanization for a city now characterized as the “first” city of the 21st century. They offer a “third site”; exposing the complex but often interstitial spaces of everyday production and consumption tied to physical and virtual place making as well as contemporary local and global investment. This perspective reframes the seamless surfaces of draped neon lights, curtain walls, and landscape features layered onto the Mojaveʼs stark topography, uncovering distinct strata that respatialize the social, cultural, and environmental implications of urbanizing a fierce yet fragile desert.
