Es ist vor allem ein Ebook f?r uns Nachgeborene, Menschen, deren Familien aus Ostpreu?en stammen, die es aber nichts mehr aus eigenem Erleben kennen, da sie erst nach dem Krieg geboren wurden. Dieses Land, das die meisten von uns l?ngst aus dem Gesichtskreis verloren haben, ist auch mir in die Wiege gelegt worden, best?ndig n?her gebracht worden von Menschen, die sich nach ihm in z?rtlicher Liebe sehnten. Meine eigene Liebe zu diesem Land begann an dem Tag, an dem ich zum ersten Mal dorthin fuhr, wuchs mit jeder Reise, mit jedem Menschen, den ich dort kennenlernte, jedem Verwandten, den ich wiederfand, wuchs mit immer mehr Informationen, die ich aufsog. Diese Liebe ist nicht besitzergreifend, denn ich habe dort nichts verloren, sondern etwas dazu gewonnen, und ich will diese Liebe daher gerne mit anderen Menschen teilen. Ich m?chte etwas erz?hlen vom Leben und Denken unserer Eltern und Gro?eltern in dieser fernen, versunkenen Welt und beschreiben, was dort so anders war. Ich will von den Menschen erz?hlen und der Landschaft, die sie alle damals wie heute pr?gte, will von ihrer Herkunft und Geschichte berichten, damit wir die Einzigartigkeit dieses Kulturraums erkennen und begreifen.

Explore the inevitable collapse of the fiat monetary system Paper Money Collapse: The Folly of Elastic Money, Second Edition challenges the mainstream consensus on money and monetary policy. While it is today generally believed that the transition from 'hard' and inflexible commodity money (such as a gold standard) to entirely flexible and potentially unlimited fiat money under national central banks allows for superior economic stability, Paper Money Collapse shows that the opposite is true. Systems of highly elastic and constantly expanding money are not only unnecessary, even for growing economies, they are always extremely destabilizing. Over time, they must lead to substantial imbalances, including excessive levels of debt and distorted asset prices, that will require ever faster money production to sustain. Ultimately, however, there is no alternative to a complete liquidation of these distortions. Based on insights of many renowned economists and in particular of the Austrian School of Economics, the book explains through rigorous logic and in precise language why our system of flexible fiat money is incompatible with a market economy and therefore unsustainable. Paper money systems have always led to economic disintegration—without exception—throughout history. It will not be different for our system and we may be closer to the endgame than many think. The updated second edition incorporates: A new introduction and an extended outlook section that discusses various «endgames» Responses to criticisms, alternative views, and a critical assessment of 'solutions' Comments on recent policy trends, including attempts to exit the 'easy money' policy mode An evaluation of new crypto-currency Bitcoin Paper Money Collapse: The Folly of Elastic Money, Second Edition clarifies the problem of paper money clearly and eloquently, and proposes multiple routes to a solution.

Wieso m?ssen sich Menschen ausweisen? Und wieso versuchen die Staaten ihre und fremde B?rgerinnen und B?rger zu identifizieren? Die Geschichte des sich Ausweisens und Erkanntwerdens ist die Geschichte wachsender Gouvernementalit?t und Disziplinierung der Bev?lkerung in der Moderne. Fr?her wies man sich aus, indem man schriftliche Empfehlungen angesehener B?rger, Geistlicher oder des Landesherrn mit sich trug. F?rsprache oder Leumund waren «die P?sse» der Vormoderne, was sich seit dem 19. Jahrhundert gr?ndlich ?nderte. Fragen der Biometrie, Chiptechnologie und der Kryptografie werfen heute ganz neue Diskussionen auf, die das Buch in einem weiten Bogen vom Mittelalter bis zur Gegenwart beantwortet.

The contributors to this volume are academics working directly or indirectly with teaching and learning centers and professional communities, serving in the capacity of educational developer, researcher, or specialist; unit manager or director; or senior administrator. Drawing on survey and interview data, individual experience or perspective, and familiarity with the educational literature, they offer a context to understand and appreciate how the field of educational development, developer practice, and individual pathways have evolved, further highlighting what territory remains to be explored and uncovered. Over the last fifty years, educational development has evolved from an informal set of instructional improvement activities championed by individuals to a scholarly field of study and practice that aims to advance teaching and learning at the individual, institutional and (more recently) sector levels. During this time, educational development work has moved from the fringes to the mainstream of the higher education landscape, bringing to the community a diverse group of dedicated academic professionals. This volume draws on their experience and insight to provide an invaluable guide to future challenges and issues. This is the 122nd volume of the Jossey-Bass higher education quarterly report series New Directions for Teaching and Learning, which offers a comprehensive range of ideas and techniques for improving college teaching based on the experience of seasoned instructors and the latest findings of educational and psychological researchers.
