Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts wuchs Heinz Godecke unter armen Verhaltnissen in Norddeutschland auf. Sein Lehrer erkannte fruh das Talent und gewann mit dem ortlichen Pastor einen Forderer, sodass der Junge auf eine weiterfuhrende Schule gehen konnte. Aber das Gluck war nicht ewig auf seiner Seite. Fur ein Fischerleben war er aber auch nicht geboren, so suchte er sich nach Abbruch der Schule in der Stadt eine Arbeit. Als dort seine Jugendliebe sich das Leben nahm, setzte er kurzerhand seine Auswanderungsplane mit dem bereits einmal in Brasilien gewesenen Freund um. Die Erlebnisse in Brasilien lassen den jungen Mann erwachsen werden, ubernimmt Verantwortung fur ein Findelkind und schlagt das Angebot eines Grossgrundbesitzers uneigennutzig aus. Er fuhlte noch nicht den Mut in sich, mit einer Frau ein Schaferstundchen zu suchen. Ganz unausdenkbar war das. Oder noch schlimmer: eine entsetzliche Blamage, weil man vollkommen ratlos stand vor den Feuern, um die die Frau wusste. Dann passierte es aber doch! Ein Jahr war vergangen, zuruck aus der Ferne, wo er nebenbei ein kleines Vermogen zusammentrug, konnte er damit jetzt studieren. Ausgerechnet in der Tochter eines Adeligen fand er die Liebe seines Lebens. Da hatte er als Burgerlicher bald den ganzen Adelsstand am Hals. Einer erhob so schwere Vorwurfe, dass der Schwiegervater in spe Hausverbot erteilte. So verteidigte er sich vor einem Ehrengericht und der Schuss ging fur die Neider nach hinten los. Der Roman Heinz Godecke ist leicht entspannt, aber auch einfuhlsam geschrieben. Die Geschichte halt einen gefangen und man fiebert mit der Hauptfigur mit. Gespickt mit zusatzlichen Lebensumstanden der anderen Personen, die dem Roman Wurze hinzufugen und den Spannungsbogen hoch halten. IN MEMORIAM HEINZ GOEDECKE, Erfinder der Wunschkonzerte des Grossdeutschen Rundfunks...." DER SPIEG
Some indigenous people, while remaining attached to their traditional homelands, leave them to make a new life for themselves in white towns and cities, thus constituting an “indigenous diaspora”. This innovative book is the first ethnographic account of one such indigenous diaspora, the Warlpiri, whose traditional hunter-gatherer life has been transformed through their dispossession and involvement with ranchers, missionaries, and successive government projects of recognition. By following several Warlpiri matriarchs into their new locations, far from their home settlements, this book explores how they sustained their independent lives, and examines their changing relationship with the traditional culture they represent.
This revised and updated edition of Rudolf Geiger's classic text provides a clear and vivid description of the surface microclimate, its physical basis, and its interactions with the biosphere. The book explains the principles of microclimatology and illustrates how they apply to a wide array of subfields. Those new to the field will find it especially valuable as a guide to understanding and quantifying the vast and ever-increasing literature on the subject. Designed as an introductory text for students in environmental science, this book will also be an essential reference for scientists seeking a clear understanding of the nature and physical basis of the climate near the ground, and its interactions with the biosphere.
When Europeans first reached Australian shores, a long-held and expedient perception developed that Australian Aboriginal people did not have houses or settlements, that they occupied temporary camps, sheltering in makeshift huts or lean-tos of grass and bark. This book redresses that notion, exploring the range and complexity of Aboriginal-designed structures, spaces and territorial behaviour, from minimalist shelters to permanent houses and villages. 'Gunyah, Goondie and Wurley' encompasses Australian Aboriginal Architecture from the time of European contact to the work of the first Aboriginal graduates of university-based courses in architecture, bringing together in one place a wealth of images and research."--Publisher's website.
During the Elizabethan Age and for the following hundred and fifty years, such figures as Shakespeare and Jonson, Milton and Pope dominated the English literary scene. But what was the vast majority of society really watching, reading and singing? This pioneering anthology, set in two volumes, attempts to answer this question by offering a wide selection of material, ranging from broadside ballads and drolls to witch trial reports and political newsbooks.
