One minute and thirty seconds is the average length allotted to a news feature. For more than ten years, artist Monika Huber has been photographing images from daily news reports that bear witness to protest, riots, war and violence, as well as their consequences. She saves the images digitally, prints them out and reworks them by means of painting and drawing. Over the years, an archive has been created; it reveals a "grammar" of news images and invites us to examine the crisis reporting of television news in a critical way. This selection of over 100 images from the archive is accompanied by contributions positioning Archive OneThirty from art-historical, philosophical, political-scientific and journalistic perspectives. Artistic exposure of media images and their rhetoric With contributions by Ernst van Alphen, Mieke Bal, James W. Davis, Antje Kapust, Ute Schaeffer, Ulrich Wilmes, and an introduction by Bernhart Schwenk

This essential provides insights into approaches, procedures and ideas on how resilience, understood as resistance, can be promoted and implemented in a team. Most of the time, these concepts are only applied to individuals. But many of the findings from resilience research can be transferred to teams and even extended. Today, resilience is also playing an increasingly important role in teams: whether it is to strengthen the sense of coherence according to Antonovsky's principle of salutogenesis, or to consider other resilience factors that support team capability

The next book in the acclaimed Cormack and Woodward series, set during the Berlin Blockade of 1948, which has sometimes been described as the Cuban Missile Crisis of the 1940s, where a highly volatile situation could easily have developed into a full-blown conflict. Cormack arrives in Berlin to take over a new post as the head of a counter-intelligence unit whose job is both to detect Soviet agents and to deal with Black Market activity. He is soon re-united with his old friend Woodward, who is involved in the Airlift, and the two find themselves in the middle of an undercover operation in which an ex-Nazi assassin has been smuggled into Berlin. But who has he been sent to kill, and why? Their investigations lead them into discovering the shadowy outlines of a conspiracy whose plans, if successful, could lead to millions of deaths… and some of the conspirators seem to be their own superiors. Not knowing whom they can trust, Cormack and Woodward somehow have to prevent the assassination taking place. They do not even know who the victim is to be, nor where or when it is to happen, but the price of failure is World War Three…

Our health system resembles a repair service which treats illness and suffering. But in many cases it would seem much simpler to avoid health problems. Why do we wait until the illnesses have developed? Young and expectant families are particularly interested in maintaining the health of their children and their whole family. Since prevention must begin long before the emergence of illness, there can be no better time to start than the beginning of life. This book presents a range of contributions that not only encourage theoretical reflection about the topics discussed but also provide practical suggestions.

First published in 1998. This volume (the second of a twin set grouping articles based on papers presented at seminars in Sigtuna, Sweden, during 1994 – 1996) deals with the largest spending programs of the welfare state – old age pensions and medical care, and their place within debates about the desirability and affordability of modern social programs. The volume is divided into four parts. The first part deals with general welfare state issues, cross-cutting themes and characterizations of whole systems within such diverse disciplines as social law, sociology and economics. Part two deals with old age pension reform. The countries discussed have widely different geographical, cultural and historical backgrounds. Part three takes up a number of interesting topics under the heading of health care reform. Part four deals with a substantial issue located and the juncture of aging, affordability, pensions and especially health care: increased longevity (and population aging) and the associated disability and frailty. What effect will these have on the future of modern welfare states?
