The term " nite Fermi systems" usually refers to systems where the fermionic nature of the constituents is of dominating importance but the nite spatial extent also cannot be ignored. Historically the prominent examples were atoms, molecules, and nuclei. These should be seen in contrast to solid-state systems, where an in nite extent is usually a good approximation. Recently, new and different types of nite Fermi systems have become important, most noticeably metallic clusters, quantum dots, fermion traps, and compact stars. The theoretical description of nite Fermi systems has a long tradition and dev- oped over decades from most simple models to highly elaborate methods of ma- body theory. In fact, nite Fermi systems are the most demanding ground for theory as one often does not have any symmetry to simplify classi cation and as a possibly large but always nite particle number requires to take into account all particles. In spite of the practical complexity, most methods rely on simple and basic schemes which can be well understood in simple test cases. We therefore felt it a timely undertaking to offer a comprehensive view of the underlying theoretical ideas and techniques used for the description of such s- tems across physical disciplines. The book demonstrates how theoretical can be successively re ned from the Fermi gas via external potential and mean- eld m- els to various techniques for dealing with residual interactions, while following the universality of such concepts like shells and magic numbers across the application elds.

Der Siegeszug des Christentums in Europa und seine Etablierung als neue Lebensart fur die Europaer brachte zahlreiche ideologische und sozial-moralische Veranderungen mit sich. Diese Arbeit untersucht die Stellung der Frau in der Gesellschaft, wie sie in der Literatur Ende des 19. und Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts dargestellt wird. Literarische Frauengestalten und ihre Lage im Antagonismus von Gesellschaft und Menschlichkeit sowie ihre Funktion als Gegenstuck zum Mann bilden den Gegenstand der Untersuchungen. Als Beispiele werden Theodor Fontanes Frauenromane, Hermann Hesses Demian und Steppenwolf und Nikos Kazantzakis' Gesellschaftsromane herangezogen.

The texts thematising the Day of JHWH are Am 5,18-20; Zp 1,2-18; Ob; Jl 2,1-11; 4,1-17; Zc 14; Ml 3,13-21.22-24. They are interpreted within the context of their relevant books, their connections with preliminary editorial phases of the Book of the Twelve are investigated, and their connections with each other are examined on both a diachronic and a synchronic level. The results of this study feed into the current debate on the origins and unity of the Book of the Twelve and the history of the concept of the Day of JHWH.

Die markinische Jesusdarstellung ist stark von mythischen Anschauungen gepragt. Allerdings ist im Gefolge einer exegetischen Tradition, die sich Rudolf Bultmanns Programm der Entmythologisierung verpflichtet wusste, die Wahrnehmung mythischer Zuge im altesten Evangelium weitgehend in den Hintergrund getreten. Auf der Basis einer religionswissenschaftlich und philosophisch fundierten Theorie des Mythos untersucht der Verfasser die mythischen Phanomene im Markusevangelium. Daraus ergeben sich neue Einsichten im Blick auf Gattung und theologische Konzeption des Markusevangeliums. In methodischer Hinsicht zeigt sich die Notwendigkeit einer kritischen Auseinandersetzung mit der Formgeschichte.

Das Zusammenwachsen Deutschlands seit 1990 wurde von oft persoenlich verletzenden Auseinandersetzungen uber die Kultur der DDR und ihre ideologischen Grundlagen begleitet. Mancher Literatur- oder Bilderstreit wurde fast als Stellvertreterkrieg inszeniert. Die Beitrage dieses Bands pladieren, oft mit lebensgeschichtlicher Beglaubigung, fur eine Versachlichung des Dialogs, ohne die Unterschiede von Diktatur und Demokratie einzuebnen. Mit einem weiten Kulturbegriff zeichnen sie ein differenziertes Bild kultureller Lebenswelten der DDR: von den Kunsten und der Literatur uber Wissenschaft, Mode, Konsumkultur und Auszeichnungswesen bis zu Geschichtsbewusstsein, Schule, Bildung und der Gegenwelt des evangelischen Pfarrhauses. Nationale und internationale Kontexte der DDR-Kultur werden erkennbar.
