Spanning continents as well as disciplines, the first volume of the miniseries 'Many Peaces' presents a panorama of diverse interpretations of peace in world history and culture. Dietrich takes the reader on a fascinating journey through time and space, exploring the so-called five families of peace - energetic, moral, modern, post-modern and trans-rational. He stresses the importance of combining rationality and reason with human properties such as emotion and spirituality in applied peace work. This innovative book indicates a paradigm shift and proposes a new epistemological understanding of peace with enormous consequences for conflict work.
Supporters and critics of Georg W. Bush agree that the foreign policy of his administration has made a significant break with precedent and that its effects will be felt for decades to come. John W. Dietrich's carefully edited collection assembles the president's most important policy statements on issues including the war on terrorism; Iraq; global warning; and relations with countries in Europe, Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East. Each topical chapter opens with an original essay providing background history and information, tracing Bush's policy choices, and highlighting key policy debates. The book presents a balanced portrait of the president's actions and motivations, so that readers can reach their own judgments on Bush's policies and their implications for future U.S. policy.

This second volume in the 'Many Peaces' series analyses the emergence of elicitive conflict transformation, demonstrating how the principles of peace and conflict work are interrelated with humanistic psychological insights and methods.This volume discusses the recent changes of working conditions in the fields of diplomacy, military, development cooperation and political economy, exploring how this 'trans-rational' turn impacts practical peace and conflict work and experiential peace education. Based on the principles of humanistic psychology and Yoga philosophy, and as a wider concept of John Paul Lederach's well-known conflict pyramid, this book introduces a wide range of breath-oriented, voice-oriented and movement-oriented methods and their application in practical fieldwork.Dietrich's study presents a new model of themes, levels and layers in conflict analysis, which adds to the conventional understanding of human relations and conflicts.Other books in the 'Many Peaces' series include Interpretations of Peace in History and Culture by Wolfgang Dietrich.
Recent breakthroughs in understanding the effectiveness of brain hypothermia treatment have been brought about by rapid progress in experimental gene studies along with new findings in the areas of brain-injury mechanisms, brain thermo-pooling, hemoglobin dysfunction, insulin-resistant hyperglycemia, radical damage involving states of consciousness, management of lipid-dominant metabolism in the intensive care unit (ICU), and management of immune crises under conditions of hypothermia. This book explains the mechanism of brain hypothermia and presents advanced techniques for ICU management of brain hypothermia for critically brain-injured patients. Especially useful for bedside care in the ICU are the easy-reference care-management "cards" in the appendix of the book. Brain Hypothermia Treatment provides a valuable resource and practical guide for professionals in the fields of neurosurgery and emergency and critical care medicine.

1m September und Oktober 1987 wurde an der Ruhr-Universitiit Bochum ein Seminar fur fortgeschrittene Studenten und Doktoranden der organischen Chemie veranstaltet, das sich mit den Anwendungen der modernen NMR-Spektroskopie beschiiftigte. Ais Arbeitsgrundlage dienten die in diesem Buch beschriebenen Aufgaben. Viele der Ubungsbeispiele wurden durch die engagierte Mitarbeit der Teilnehmer nicht unwesentlich mitgestaltet, ihnen gilt unser besonderer Dank. Ohne die Hilfe zahlreicher Kollegen hatte dieses Buch nicht in der vorliegenden Form erstellt werden konnen. Wir danken all denen sehr herzlich, die uns bei der Vorbereitung durch hilfreiche Diskussionen zur Seite standen und allen, die uns Substanzproben zur Verfiigung stellten: B. Abegaz (Addis Abeba)' U.H. Brinker (Bochum), E. Dagne (Addis Abeba)' M. Gonzalez-Sierra (Rosario), J. Harangi (Debrecen), A. Levai (Debrecen)' M.A. McKervey (Cork), M. Michalska (L6dz), E.A. Ruveda (Rosario), G. Snatzke (Bochum), L. Szilagyi (Debrecen), G. T6th (Budapest), P. Welzel (Bochum) und J. Wicha (Warschau). Auch den Diplomchemikern H. Kiihne und D. Rosenbaum, Herrn M. Gartmann und Frau E. Sauerbier sind wir fiir ihre Hilfe bei der Durchfiihrung der Messungen, der Bearbeitung des Manuskriptes sowie der Anferligung der Abbildungen zu groBem Dank verpfiichtet. Wir danken auch dem Steinkopff-Verlag und insbesondere Frau H. Sauer, die durch ihre Kom mentare und enthusiastische Unterstiitzung zur AusgestaItung dieses Buches beigetragen hat. Fehler und Ungenauigkeiten sind bei einem solchen Projekt trotz aller Bemiihungen kaum zu vermeiden. Fiir Verbesserungs- und Erganzungsvorschlage sind wir daher stets dankbar."
Wie lernt man Achtsamkeit? Was kann man in einem chinesischen Garten erleben? Muss ich nach Indien reisen, um erleuchtet zu werden? Was ist ein Zen - Raum"? Soll ich helfen? Georg Jurgens und Dietrich W. Dietrich durchleuchten diese Fragen in dem vorliegenden graphisch - literarischen Gemeinschaftswerk, ein Buch von tiefer Stille und poetischer Strahlkraft, in dem Texte und Bilder in Klarheit und Zuruckhaltung um eine leere Mitte kreisen und von ihr durchdrungen werden. Der Leser wird bei der Lekture daran erinnert, in seiner Reise durch das Leben wachsam zu bleiben und zu erkennen, dass programmatische Verhaltensweisen nicht unbedingt zum gewunschten Erfolg fuhren mussen. Dieses Bandchen ist nicht als religiose Orientierungshilfe gedacht und soll auch kein Ratgeber zur Lebenshilfe sein, sondern es ist eine Einladung zum Gewahrsein der Stille, auch wenn die Welt um uns herum larmt. Die ideale Lekture fur Reisende, in Wartesalen oder zum Entspannen am Ende eines langen Tages. WORTE DER LEERE - ein stilles Buch, dem wahren Buddha gewidme
