Pierre Gassendi (1592-1655) lived in three civilizations in the span of one life-time: medieval ecclesiastic, Renaissance humanist and modern and he never cut himself loose from any of them. It is probably scientific; because he managed to be at home in all three that history has allocated to him a position somewhere on the fringe of the inner circle of genius in the seventeenth-century scientific revolution. While he was not a front-runner, Gassendi was nevertheless a pioneer of modern corpuscularianism and his influence on the development of empirical science was truly international. It is precisely because Gassendi was a figure of the second rank - a significant but lesser luminary - that we need to examine his work closely, for the less famous contemporaries help us to explain what the great ones do. It might seem that Gassendi has received his share of attention from scholars, even though it is sometimes suggested otherwise. Several full length monographs have been published in the past three decades, and there have been a number of articles in scholarly journals. Yet, despite the indisputable worth of these studies, the picture of Gassendi that has emerged from them has been partial and at times wide of the mark, so that the true story remains to be told."

Der Blaulichtreporter ist stets auf der berholspur unterwegs, dicht hinter Polizei und Feuerwehr. Es muss als einer der Ersten an den Schaupl tzen von Konflikten, Kriegen und Katastrophen sein und bisweilen tief in menschliche Abgr nde blicken. Von Schicksalen und Trag dien zu berichten, ist sein Beruf als Journalist. Frank Br ndel erz hlt in seinem Buch jedoch nicht die Storys, die in der Zeitung stehen oder im TV zu sehen sind. Er gew hrt vielmehr einen pers nlichen Einblick in das Reporterleben, das sich hinter diesen Geschichten abspielt. Wo Menschen in Extremsituationen aufeinander treffen, passiert Unglaubliches, aber auch Sch nes, und das Tragische kippt rasch ins Bizarre. Wenn auch die professionelle Distanz zum Geschehen f r den Reporter unabdingbar ist - manchmal st t er an die eigenen seelischen und k rperlichen Grenzen. Auch davon erz hlt Frank Br ndel. Doch ob seine Geschichten zum Lachen, Weinen oder Staunen sind: Nichts ist erfunden, alles ist wahr. Hautnah erlebt, authentisch berichtet.

Jugendsuizidalitat als Ausdruck einer emotionalen Befindlichkeit und eingeschrankten Fahigkeit, Belastungen konstruktiv zu bewaltigen, und Salutogenese als Konzept, Gesundheit herzustellen und zu erhalten, scheinen sich auf den ersten Blick gegenseitig auszuschliessen. In jedem suizidalen "Erleben" von Jugendlichen sind jedoch immer auch salutogenetische Tendenzen vorhanden und damit eine Chance zum "Uberleben." Wenn Jugendliche an Suizid denken, dann wollen sie haufig nicht wirklich sterben, sondern sich das Leben "nehmen," d. h. ihr Leben auf eine andere Weise fuhren, als sie es bis dahin getan haben. Diese Ambivalenz ist Ausgangspunkt fur die salutogenetische Betrachtungsweise der Suizidalitat und stellt einen neuen Ansatz dar, der die Ergebnisse der Suizidforschung mit den Ergebnissen der Resilienzforschung verbindet.
