The study of morality is an empirical as well as conceptual task,
one that involves data collection, statistical analysis, and the
formulation and testing of hypotheses. This volume is about moral
judgment, especially its exercise in selected social settings. The
contributors are psychologists, sociologists, and philosophers of
morality, most of whom have collaborated on long-ranged research
projects in Europe involving socialization. These essays make it
clear that moral judgment is a complex phenomena. The book fuses
developmental psychology, sociology, and social psychology. It
relates this directly to the work of Jean Piaget and Lawrence
Kohlberg, who wrote the introduction to the book. Whether moral
reasoning has a content-specific domain, or whether its structures
transcend specific issues of justice, obedience, and rights, these
and similar questions suggest that moral philosophers and ethical
theorists have much to say about the human condition. The
contributors represent diverse disciplines; but they have as their
common concern the topic of the interaction of individual or
group-specific moral development and social milieu. Although deeply
involved in empirical research, they maintain that research on
moral development can be pursued properly only in conjunction with
a well-formulated theory of the relationship between society,
cognition, and behavior. Moral development is an institutional as
well as individual concern for schools, universities, and the
military. It is rooted in the ability to formulate genuine and
coherent moral judgments that reflect social conditions at two
levels: individual socialization and historical development of the
social system. This classic volume, now available in paperback, not
only exemplifies that framework, but also makes an important
contribution to it.

At the present time several techniques are available for studying
quantitatively global and regional blood flow and metabolism of the
human brain. How ever, many scientists working in the clinical and
research field who would like to use these tools for their
investigations may be less familiar with the indi cations and
limitations of the individual methods. The rapid development of
both modern imaging techniques and new tracers may have led to some
con fusion in answering the question as to which method is
appropriate to solve the diagnostic problem of an individuum with
brain disease. Scepticism and ignorance as to the methods to be
used as tools in differential diagnosis of brain disorders may have
prevented their widespread introduction into clinical practice.
Thus, the significance of circulatory and metabolic parameters
involved in the majority of diseases of the central nervous system
may have been overlooked. The contributions compiled in this book
describe in detail the individual techniques, outline their
indications and limitations and deal in particular with newer
methods such as the atraumatic 133Xe technique, stable xenon
tomogra phy, three-dimensional techniques such as 133Xe single
photon emission tomog raphy and N-isopropyl-P23-iodoamphetamine.
Positron emission tomography studies provide information on
function and metabolism, particularly that of oxygen and glucose,
in regional brain areas of interest. Nuclear magnetic reso nance
may be a promising method for studying metabolic parameters;
however, accurate circulation measurements can not be performed at
present."
Der Schlaganfall - obwohl dritthaufigste Todesursache in den
Industrielandern und mit den hoechsten Folgekosten verbunden - wird
haufig als nicht behandelbares schicksalshaftes Ereignis angesehen.
Das Buch beschreibt die im deutschen Sprachraum vertretenen
Auffassungen und ublichen Strategien fur Diagnostik und Therapie
und grenzt sich dadurch zur angloamerikanischen Literatur ab. Damit
ist es das umfassende Standardwerk uber akute zerebrovaskulare
Erkrankungen aus zentraleuropaischer Sicht.
Leistungsgesellschaft, "Risikogesellschaft", "Erlebnisgesellschaft"
- diese drei von der Sozialwissenschaft beschriebenen "Typen"
uberlagern und durchdringen sich in (post-)modernen Gesellschaften.
Im Anschluss an das dritte Konzept versammelt dieser Band acht
anschauliche Beitrage aus Psychologie und Soziologie zu
erlebnisorientierten Freizeitbereichen. Es geht um Massentourismus,
"Fun"- und Extremsportarten, Fussball, Popmusik, "suchtiges"
Einkaufen als Zeitvertreib, Korperkult, Fantasy-Rollenspiele und
virtuelles Vergnugen im "Cyberspace". Die Beitrage orientieren sich
an der zentralen These, dass Gesellschaftstypus, Sozialcharakter
und Freizeitverhalten in einer Wechselwirkungsbeziehung stehen: Die
Gesellschaft modelliert (auch) uber Freizeitangebote und deren
Nutzung die Sozialcharaktere, die zu ihr passen.
Die Konsumguterwerbung schafft Kultur, indem sie sich traditionelle
Motive aus Literatur und Kunst aneignet und diese ihrem
vordringlichen Verwertungsinteresse gemass umgestaltet. Derart
fuhrt sie Traditionen, Sprach- und Sehgewohnheiten verfremdend und
entfremdend fort. Sozialwissenschaftlich ist es von Interesse,
diesen Umgestaltungsprozess zu studieren, in dessen Verlauf Muster
verbalen und visuellen Erlebens sozialisiert werden. Vor dem
Hintergrund dieser Diagnose versammelt der Band 12 exemplarische
Fallanalysen von Werbeanzeigen in Publikumszeitschriften. Jede
Studie fuhrt an einem jeweils ausgewahlten, markanten Beispiel eine
spezifische, abgrenzbare Methode der Bild-Text-Interpretation vor,
so dass ein reprasentativer Querschnitt moglicher Zugange zur
Dramaturgie und Rhetorik von Werbeanzeigen in Printmedien aus
kulturkritischer Sicht entsteht.
Vor dem Hintergrund wachsender Komplexitiit und sich
beschleunigender Dynamik des einzelhandelsbetrieblichen
Entscheidungsfeldes gestaltet sich die Pflege langfristig wirksamer
Erfolgspotentiale von Unternehmungen zunehmend schwieriger. Aus der
Perspektive der nach Existenzsicherung strebenden
Einzelhandelsunternehmung ergibt sich die Notwendigkeit, sich
verstiirkt mit strategisch ausgerichteten Fiihrungstechni- ken
auseinanderzusetzen und entsprechende Methoden der Marketingplanung
zu nut- zen. 1m Gegensatz zum industriebetrieblichen Sektor, in dem
sich die Umorientierung von operativ ausgerichteten Konzeptionen
zur strategischen Planung schon seit geraumer Zeit erfolgreich
vollwgen hat, ist diese Entwicklung in den meisten Bereichen des
Einzelhandels wegen der haufig iiblichen Konzentration auf das
Tagesgeschlift noch nicht sehr weit fortgeschritten. Vor einer
Schelte der dort herrschenden Planungskul- tur ist jedoch zu
bedenken, daB die bekannten Techniken strategischer Planung aus-
schlieBlich fiir den Einsatz in der Industrie konzipiert worden
sind. Diese sich aus der Einzelhandelsperspektive ergebende
"Unzullinglichkeit" strategischer Planungstechni- ken ist als
Grundlage des Forschungsplanes der vorliegenden
Dissertationsschrift zu kennzeichnen. Auf der Basis eines
geschlossenen Systems der strategischen Marketingplanung hat sich
der Verfasser die Aufgabe gestellt, die Techniken der strategischen
Planung auf eine einzelhandelsspezifische Anwendung zu iiberpriifen
und gegebenenfalls Ansatz- stellen zur Modifikation aufzuzeigen.
Diesen methodischen Ansatz erglinzt der Ver- fasser urn die
Ergebnisse einer lundesweit angelegten empirischen Studie zum
Komplex "Strategische Marketing')lanung in
Einzelhandelsunternehmungen", deren Kernaussagen in die
entsprechelld. !n Uberlegungen einflieBen und einen bislang noch
nicht verfiigbaren Einblick in den aktuellen Stand der Planung
dieser Branche ermoglichen.
This book contains the papers delivered at the Symposium on
"Medical Treatment of Brain Ede- ma" at the Seventh International
Congress ofNeu- rological Surgery, held in Munich in 1981. The aim
of each speaker was to give a short review of current knowledge in
his or her field. In addition, most of the authors presented their
own data. The symposium . was divided into two parts. The
experimental part focused on pathophysiological and biochemical
findings, while the clinical part dealt with therapy for brain
edema, with particular emphasis on steroids. We wish to acknowledge

Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer
Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfangen des Verlags
von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv
Quellen fur die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche
Forschung zur Verfugung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext
betrachtet werden mussen. Dieser Titel erschien in der Zeit vor
1945 und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen
Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben.
Colby was born and raised in Yosemite. Following a painful divorce,
he returns to the "granite womb" as a park ranger, desperate for
healing. He sees this summer as both a homecoming and a last chance
to reconnect with his estranged son, Jake. Skylar's husband has
gone missing in the park's backcountry. Facing an uncertain future,
she tries to put the past behind her as she spearheads a Yosemite
Conservancy project to restore the crumbling Wawona Hotel fountain.
The two guard their secrets while dealing with lost hikers, wild
bears, a lightning storm on Half Dome, a devastating rockfall, and
ruthless wildlife poachers. The valley, dominated by the iconic
Half Dome, holds both danger and promise amid its cascading white
water and grey monoliths of stone. Can Colby and Skylar find in
Yosemite and in each other, the healing grace of this one last
golden summer? Patricia Hartmann is the author of historical
romances, The Ojai-Pink Moment Promises, and Secrets of Sandpiper
Cove. She has camped in her beloved Yosemite wilderness since she
was a girl, returning year after year like a salmon to its home
water. She lives with her husband in Ojai, California in a 145-year
old farmhouse on a nine acre farm where they grow pixie tangerines.
Patricia is a teacher, writer and artist whose signature is to
paint the artwork for all of her book covers. She has a
his/mine/and ours family of eight children, fifteen grandchildren
and two great grandchildren. Visit her website at

The simplicity of Ojai farm girl Meggie Baxter's life is shattered
when she must choose between loyalty to her rough-hewn friend,
Rusty, and the dashing Charles. As the decades of her life unfold,
she faces the elemental dangers of floods and fire as well as the
colorful high-jinks radiating from Pop Soper's Fight Camp, the
steam baths at Matilija Hot Springs, a leaning post office tower, a
corrupt councilman and Libbey's plans to modernize the town.
Amid tragedy and loss, Meggie clings to the one constant in her
life, the promise of God's love. It is the "pink moment," the
evening sunset casting a rosy hue like a prayer across the Topa
Topa Mountains, that points her again and again to faith and
courage. Midst the idyllic beauty of the Ojai Valley and the
crushing forces of change, will Meggie and her beloved Ojai stay
true to their rural roots of faith and family? Will the ultimate
sacrifice that spares Rusty's life be enough? Or will the winds of
destiny destroy both the people and the indomitable spirit of the
Ojai?
