This book presents a clear and precise overview of the key aspects of German business law. It was written by attorneys involved in the daily practice of bu- ness law in Germany and is aimed at people who wish to orient themselves quickly with the German legal system and the manner in which it impacts bu- ness purchases, establishment, operations and liquidations. The first section of the book is devoted to an explanation of the major issues to be considered in acquiring or establishing a business in Germany. The second section focuses on areas of commercial law that are important for an operating business. In comparison to the last edition four new areas (transportation law, customs regulations, insurance law and state liability law) are treated. The f- lowing sections deal with labor law as an independent part of German business law and with computer law. Furthermore, procedural law and European law are addressed. Finally, the last two sections of the book are devoted to an overview over the German tax law, which has an enormous impact on business decisions, and IP law. In all sections special attention has been paid to highlighting and explaining the differences between the German legal system and that of the United States. Nevertheless, the intention is to provide information that will prove valuable to all foreigners, particularly business men and women and lawyers advising clients with an interest in doing business in Germany.

Die Begriffe Koerper und Gesundheit sind (nicht erst) seit dem sogenannten body-, corporeal- oder somatic-turn Gegenstand sehr unterschiedlicher Disziplinen und Perspektiven: Die Komplexitat der Zusammenhange, Verschrankungen, Bedingungen des Gegenstandspaares Koerper-Gesundheit bis hin zur Identifikation macht es erforderlich, multidisziplinar und multiperspektivisch vorzugehen. In diesem Band sind unterschiedliche Disziplinen und Perspektiven versammelt, die sich aus ihrer Fachgenese und wissenschaftlichen Position heraus mit Koerper, Leib und Gesundheit beschaftigen, um v.a. Forschungsfelder zu erschliessen und praxeologische Konsequenzen zu benennen.

Der Bezugsrahmen "Familie" ist unscharf geworden. Die VerAnderungen im FamilienverstAndnis und in den Familienstrukturen schlagen auf die Gesellschaft zurA"ck. Greift die StoArichtung der traditionellen Familienhilfe "ZurA"ck zur Familie und vorwArts in die Erwerbsarbeit" noch? Es gilt die UnterstA"tzungssysteme ebenso anzusprechen wie die endogenen Stabilisatoren gelingenden Aufwachsens von Kindern. Dabei kommt der Sozialethik eine wichtige Rolle zu. Die Theorie soll durch praktische Beispiele des Neukirchener Erziehungsvereins und anderer Einrichtungen konkretisiert werden. Die Familienhilfe wird eine Antwort darauf geben mA"ssen, dass "verwahrloste Kinder von heute Eltern von morgen" sein werden.
