September 1998Medien – Computer – Realität
Wirklichkeitsvorstellungen und Neue Medien
by Sybille Krämer
"Dieser Band fragt nach den Voraussetzungen und Folgen der medialen Nutzung des Computers - und zwar nicht in einer technikwissenschaftlichen Perspektive; den Autoren geht es vielmehr um geistes- bzw. kulturwissenschaftlich inspirierte Interpretationen der neuen Medien. Die Beiträge zentrieren sich um drei miteinander verwandte Themen: (1) In einer grundlagentheoretischen Perspektive wird die Frage gestellt: »Was ist ein Medium?« (2) Dann wird der Computer als ein Medium thematisiert. (3) Schließlich geht es um Veränderungen unseres Wirklichkeitsverständnisses im Gefolge von Phänomenen, die mit dem Einsatz digitalisierter Medien verbunden sind."

Children's & YA2018The Magic Bird
by Ken Spillman and Malavika PC
A lone bird hungry for magic pecks at alphabet shapes. It looks through glass windows of book stores and glances at the t-shirts of pedestrians with the hope of solving the mystery hidden behind those letters. Soon, the words become familiar and the bird determinedly starts collecting scraps of paper to build a nest, wanting to hatch its ideas with warmth and nurture them through potential and free imagination. The unusual combination of Ken Spillman’s simple yet eloquent prose and Malavika PC’s inspired images combine in perfect harmony to express the powerful story of The Magic Bird. The bird reminds the reader of the extraordinary components which create something as ordinary as language, and the value of spreading our wings to take stories to others.

March 1993Allwissen und Absturz. Der Ursprung des Computers
by Werner Künzel, Peter Bexte
"Das vorliegende Buch handelt von der Geschichte der logischen Kombinatorik aus der Sicht der aktuellen Computertheorie. Dabei werden die entscheidenden Metamorphosen dieser Maschine erfaßt; die Beschränkungen der vereinzelten Wissenschaften werden aufgehoben zugunsten neuer Perspektiven. Denn am Ursprung der Denkmaschine überkreuzen sich verschiedene Diskurse. Die Spur der Ars Combinatoria führt aus der Kosmologie in eine Welt technischer Phänomene, alles treibt zur Maschine hin. Aus der Tradition kabbalistischer Kombinationslogik werden jene Schaltpläne geboren, die die universelle Maschine steuern. Athanasius Kirchers Schriften aus dem 17. Jahrhundert sind deren früheste Manuale..."

Humanities & Social SciencesJune 2024Peace and the politics of memory
by Annika Björkdahl, Susanne Buckley-Zistel, Stefanie Kappler, Johanna Mannergren Selimovic, Timothy Williams
This important book provides new understandings of how the politics of memory impacts peace in societies transitioning from a violent past. It does so by developing a theoretical approach focusing on the intersection of sites, agency, narratives, and events in memory-making. Drawing on rich empirical studies of mnemonic formations in Cyprus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Rwanda, South Africa and Cambodia, the book speaks to a broad audience. The in-depth, cross-case analysis shows that inclusivity, pluralism, and dignity in memory politics are key to the construction of a just peace. The book contributes crucial and timely knowledge about societies that grapple with the painful legacies of the past and advances the study of memory and peace.

Depression and Bipolar Disorder, Second Edition provides the basic facts needed to understand the different types of depression and related disorders and what defines them, including the typical symptoms, possible causes, and current treatments.
