Bairisch gredt - bairisch glebt
"Hundsgrippi, elendiger", "Schwoam ma's obi" oder "Scheiß da nix, dann feit da nix": Die bairische Sprache erscheint Außenstehenden oftmals als grob und abweisend - ebenso wie der Bayer selbst mit all seinen Eigenheiten und den manchmal skurrilen Formen seines Humors. Dabei verdeckt diese raue Fassade nur die kulturellen und emotionalen Hintergründe der bairischen Lebensweise.Von der schlecht beleumdeten doppelten Verneinung ("nie nicht") bis zur eigensinnigen Verwendung des Konjunktivs ("Es gabad a Leich"): Klaus Grubmüller erklärt anhand der Besonderheiten der bairischen Sprache die Mentalität der Bayern, räumt dabei mit einigen weit verbreiteten Klischees auf und fördert so das Verständnis zwischen Einheimischen und Zuagroasten. Neue Beispiele für einen unerlässlichen Grundwortschatz runden dieses Büchlein ab.

Into the Dark
'Often poetic ... highly-researched and thought-provoking' New Scientist'Gently and thoughtfully enquiring' The SpectatorCan you remember the first time you encountered true darkness? The kind that remains as black and inky whether your eyes are open or closed? Where you can't see your hand in front of your face?Jacqueline Yallop can. It was in an unfamiliar bedroom while holidaying in Yorkshire as a child, and ever since then she has been fascinated by the dark, by our efforts to capture or avoid it, by the meanings we give to it and the way our brains process it.Taking a journey into the dark secrets of place, body and mind, she documents a series of night-time walks, exploring both the physical realities of darkness and the psychological dark that helps shape our sense of self. Exploring our enduring love-hate relationship with states of darkness, she considers how we attempt to understand and contain the dark, and, as she comes to terms with her father's deteriorating Alzheimer's, she reflects on how our relationship with the dark can change with time and circumstance.Darkness captivates, baffles and appals us. It's a shifty thing of many textures and many moods. It can be an absence and a presence, a solace and a threat, a beginning and an end. Into the Dark is the story of the many darks that fascinate and assail us. It faces the darkness in all its guises and mysteries, celebrating it as a thing of beauty while peering into the void.

Die Illusion der Vernunft
WIESO GLAUBEN SIE, DASS SIE RECHT HABEN?Wie ist es möglich, dass Menschen felsenfest von Dingen überzeugt sein können, die eindeutig falsch sind? Sind sie einfach nur schlecht infor- miert? Oder liegt es daran, dass sie gern nur das glauben, was sie glauben möchten? Alle Menschen sind irrational - auch die, die von ihrer Rationalität überzeugt sind. Der Neurologe, Psychiater und Hirnforscher Philipp Sterzer erklärt, warum das so ist und welche Schlüsse wir daraus ziehen können. Ein neuer Blick auf subjektives Erleben, soziales Bewusstsein und die Wahrnehmung der Welt.'Sterzer führt so überzeugend durch sein Forschungsfeld, dass auch dem besonnensten Leser aufgeht, wie unvernünftig er häufig ist.'FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE ZEITUNG'Hochspannend zu lesen, wie logisch die Unvernunft ist' MDR-WISSEN.DE

Die infantile Gesellschaft. Wege aus der selbstverschuldeten Unreife | AKTUALISIERTE AUSGABE
'Wir müssen uns den erwachsenen als einen glücklichen Menschen vorstellen. Sind Sie bereit?' | Ein Aufruf zu mehr Mündigkeit und weniger Gefühligkeit Gefühl ist Trumpf, Argumente stören, Diskretion war gestern. Wir haben uns in eine Gesellschaft der Kindsköpfe verwandelt. Zum Erwachsensein aber gehört, sich auch erwachsen zu verhalten. Von der Berliner Republik bis zum Kult um den Wolf, von kindischen Abgeordneten bis zu den Klimaklebern nimmt der bekannte Publizist Alexander Kissler die Politik ebenso wie den Kulturbetrieb, die Wirtschaft und die Kirchen aufs Korn. Er folgt den mal albernen, mal tragikomischen Verrenkungen unreifer Erwachsener und zeigt die Folgen einer infantilen Gesellschaft: Wenn Vernunft nicht mehr zählt, regiert die Unvernunft. Ein Buch, das im Bundestag ausliegen sollte.
