"On the LookOUT - for the better half" is an invitation for a mindful journey towards the authentic-self through the lenses of romantic relationships. Captivating, engaging and motivational - the book illustrates the turbulence of youth, while giving us an insight into the stability of adulthood by combining the romantic sarcasm of the poems with the pragmatic approach of today’s reflections. A book dedicated to those who seek and to those who discover: “I thought I was on the lookout for something or someone. However, it was there all along: ME.” – Diana Mereu "What would you teach your younger version about love if you could be able to travel back in time? On the lookout for the better half, Diana gets lost in the whirlwind of emotions only to later find her identity on the self-discovery path paved by her writing through the lenses of past relationships. Her introspections create a parallel between her present adult-self, grounded in awareness, and the past younger-self, looking for meaning in the reflection of others. This book illustrates the turbulence of youth, while giving us an insight into the stability of adulthood. As I found myself in these pages, I am convinced that so will others." – Dr. Laura S. Götz, NV Publishing House
On the Lookout may be thought of as a contribution to the genre sometimes referred to as a ‘quest of the historical Jesus’, but not as scholars know it. It does not share the apparent view of New Testament scholars generally that the best one can hope to come across is ‘the most plausible view’ that can now be put forward by scholars about the man. There is sound evidence outside the New Testament, which is widely ignored, but which puts matters beyond doubt. It is time to move on. A quest of the historical Jesus is not a question of swallowing stories told be Mark, Luke and Matthew hook, line and sinker, but a search for salvage in the wreckage of your boat. Jesus deserves to be introduced to those who have not met him as someone worth knowing in himself, not just as a predecessor, or forerunner, of a religious entity known as Jesus Christ. Neuroscientists have been making it clear now for some time how the subconscious human brain works and what part emotion plays in our evaluation of those whom we meet. “Christians have deliberately shrouded the man Jesus in misconceptions,” the author says, “it is time to cut the cackle and give the man his due.”

A page-turning memoir about a young woman's grueling, revelatory summers working alone in a remote lookout tower and her eyewitness account of the increasingly unpredictable nature of wildfire in the Canadian north. While growing up in Peace River, Alberta, Trina Moyles heard many stories of Lookout Observers--strange, eccentric types who spent five-month summers alone, climbing 100-foot high towers and watching for signs of fire in the surrounding boreal forest. How could you isolate yourself for that long? she wondered. "I could never do it," she told herself. Craving a deeper sense of purpose, she left northern Alberta to pursue a decade-long career in global humanitarian work. After three years in East Africa, and newly engaged, Trina returned to Peace River with a plan to sponsor her fiance, Akello's, immigration to Canada. Despite her fear of being alone in the woods, she applied for a seasonal lookout position and got the job. Thus begins Trina's first summer as one of a handful of lookouts scattered throughout Alberta, with only a farm dog, Holly--labeled "a domesticated wolf" by her former owners--to keep her company. While searching for smoke, Trina unravels under the pressure of a long-distance relationship--and a dawning awareness of the environmental crisis that climate change is producing in the boreal. Through megafires, lightning storms, and stunning encounters with wildlife, she learns to survive at the fire tower by forging deep connections with nature and with an extraordinary community of people dedicated to wildfire detection and combat. In isolation, she discovers a kind of self-awareness--and freedom--that only solitude can deliver. Lookout is a riveting story of loss, transformation, and belonging to oneself, layered with an eyewitness account of the destructive and regenerative power of wildfire in our northern forests.

For every summer from 1916 to 1948, Camp Meenahga, on the picturesque shoreline of Lake Michigan in Door County’s Peninsula State Park, hosted young girls and women from across the United States and Canada. From July to September each year, campers slept in canvas tents, told stories beside a massive stone fireplace, swam, canoed, sailed, hiked, rode horses, and watched the sunset from the Lookout, a gazebo with a spectacular view of the waters of Green Bay. With big ideas, little money, and no experience, Alice Orr Clark and Frances Louise “Kidy” Mabley founded Meenahga as a place for young women to refine their manners, enjoy outdoor leisure activities, and learn woodcraft. From the Lookout is an account of these experiences, a history of Camp Meenahga informed by what campers, counselors, and others left behind, including letters home, notes from Clark and Mabley, and many pages from the camp yearbook and newsletter Pack and Paddle. Brimming with nostalgia, From the Lookout brings to life the sights, sounds, and smells of an idyllic summer retreat, one that long after it closed lived on as a place of respite in the memories of those who knew and loved it best.

Ursachen erzählen – von Ursachen erzählen: Unser Band vereint Untersuchungen zu Texten aus ganz verschiedenen Bereichen. Altes und Neues Testament, Fachschriften, literarische, historiographische und urkundliche Texte von der Antike bis zur Neuzeit und sogar die Marseillaise kommen zur Sprache. Alle Interpreten haben sich folgende Fragen gestellt: Wie werden Ursprungsgeschichten erzählt? Lassen sich in einzelnen Gattungen, Textsorten, Bildern, wissenschaftlichen und literarischen Kontexten gemeinsame Strukturen feststellen, wie Aitien eingesetzt und gestaltet werden? Bildet sich eine eigene Systematik aus, die sich von anderen Erzählungen abhebt? Welche Erkennungsmuster bieten die Ursprungsgeschichten, seien sie in wissenschaftlichen, in fiktionalen, in bildlichen Zusammenhängen präsent, ihren intendierten Rezipienten an? Mythos, Überzeugung, Historie, Sprechen und Wissen: In jedem dieser Bereiche erweist sich die Frage nach dem aitiologischen Kern als fruchtbar. Telling origins and telling of origins – our volume brings together studies of a wide range of texts: the Old and New Testaments, technical writing, literary, historiographical and documentary texts from antiquity to the modern age, and even the Marseillaise. All contributors deal with the following questions: how are stories about origins told? Can we identify common patterns for the ways in which aitia are established and shaped in individual genres, types of texts, images, scientific and literary contexts? Can we distinguish the development of narrative structures specific to aetiology? Which patterns of recognition do stories of origins, whether in scientific, fictional or visual contexts, offer to their intended recipients? Myth, persuasion, history, speech and knowledge: in each of these spheres the search for an aetiological core proves fruitful.
