Das Handlexikon diskutiert die zentralen Themen des Fachs im Hinblick auf die Frage, wie sich Verhaltensstörungen pädagogisch bearbeiten lassen. Um erzieherisch wirksam werden zu können, bedarf es einer intensiven Auseinandersetzung mit der inneren und äußeren Realität verhaltensgestörter Kinder und Jugendlicher, wobei die inneren Konflikte ebenso ins Blickfeld treten wie die speziellen Gegebenheiten in Schule, Elternhaus und sozialem Umfeld.

Seit ihr Vater aus Eritrea fliehen musste, patrouillieren Soldaten vor Azmeras Elternhaus. Mit einem Schlag sind Schule, Studium, ein normales Leben unerreichbar. Mit dem letzten Ersparten macht sie sich auf die Flucht nach Europa. Unterwegs trifft sie Pedros, erst ihr Bruder auf dem Papier, schließlich ihr Freund. Sie beide eint die Hoffnung auf Freiheit, eine Hoffnung, die sogar stärker ist als ihre Liebe.Vom Hersteller empfohlenes Alter: 12 – 17 Jahre

by Dave Goulson , Sabine Hübner , Language: German

Der britische Biologe Dave Goulson unternimmt eine Expedition auf den Planeten der Insekten – genauer auf die Blumenwiesen rund um sein marodes französisches Landhaus. Die Helden seiner Feldforschungsabenteuer sind nicht nur Bienen und Hummeln, sondern alles, was kreucht und fleucht: Grillen, Grashüpfer, Glühwürmchen – und Libellen, denen beim Liebemachen zuzusehen eine Freude ist. Goulson taucht dabei so tief ins Reich der Tiere ein wie kaum jemand zuvor.

Obtain techniques for adding color to black and white or monochrome photographic images using GIMP. In this book you’ll also learn to create a hand-tinted effect to add an element of antiquity. Pro Photo Colorizing with GIMP also teaches techniques that enable you to selectively colorize images, mixing black and white with color. There are also tips to go the opposite way: converting color images into black and white (there’s more to it than just removing color).Written with both beginning and experienced GIMP users in mind, Pro Photo Colorizing with GIMP shows you how to colorize black and white images to achieve a high degree of realism.W

by Gunter Brenn , Language: English

Authors: Brenn, GünterProvides a variety of analytical solutions to problems in transport processes Covers both single-phase and multi-phase flowsPresents detailed derivations of the solutionsWritten by a respected expert in the fieldThis book provides analytical solutions to a number of classical problems in transport processes, i.e. in fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer. Expanding computing power and more efficient numerical methods have increased the importance of computational tools. However, the interpretation of these results is often difficult and the computational results need to be tested against the analytical results, making analytical solutions a valuable commodity.

On August 6 and 9, 1945, in the last significant blows of World War II, American B-29 bombers dropped atomic warheads on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Within a week, the Japanese surrendered. The war was over, but the Atomic Age was just beginning. Here, from journalist and historian Michael Blow, is the dramatic story of America’s Manhattan Project, which produced the world’s first atomic weapons.

by Giorgio Agamben , Language: Italian

Una raccolta di saggi di Giorgio Agamben: Che cos’è il contemporaneo?, Che cos’è un dispositivo, La Chiesa e il Regno.Che cosa significa essere contemporanei? Di chi e di che cosa siamo contemporanei? Agamben prova a rispondere a queste domande mettendo in tensione e quasi in corto circuito una serie di esperienze familiari: l’arcaico e il moderno, l’attuale e l’intempestivo, il tempo e la moda, il buio e la luce. Contemporaneo non è colui che cerca di coincidere e adeguarsi al suo tempo, ma chi aderisce a esso attraverso una sfasatura e un anacronismo; non chi vede le luci del suo tempo, ma chi riesce a percepirne l’oscurità.
