Er wirft einen Ball in die Luft, er verdient Millionen. Und Millionen Menschen schauen ihm dabei zu, mehr als fünfzig Jahre lang. Sieben Minuten dauert sein Auftritt, das ist sein Leben. Reinhold Batberger erzählt eine Familiengeschichte, die Geschichte einer Weltkarriere, die Geschichte des Lebens und der Kunst des Jongleurs Francis Brunn (1922 - 2004). Zum ersten Mal jonglieren die Geschwister Franzl und Lotte Brunn aus Aschaffenburg auf der Bühne einer Turnhalle. Bereits zwei Jahre später werden sie in Berlin gefeiert. Nach dem Krieg gehören Las Vegas, Paris, London, wo Francis Brunn 1963 zusammen mit den Beatles vor der englischen Königin auftritt, zu den wichtigsten Stationen des Rastelli-Nachfolgers. Mit Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis jun. steht er auf der Bühne, mit Judy Garland und Marlene Dietrich geht er auf Tournee, Elvis Presley sieht ihn jonglieren und möchte ihn in seiner Show haben. Viel später, in den 1980er Jahren verhelfen die Gründer des Frankfurter »Varieté Theaters Tigerpalast« der vergessenen Jongleurslegende zurück auf die Bühne. Noch mit achtzig begeistert er das Publikum mit seiner Show INCOGNITO. In den letzten Jahren des Artisten treffen sich Francis Brunn und Reinhold Batberger, um über das Jonglieren zu sprechen, das für den Jongleur von seinem Leben nicht zu trennen war. Batbergers Der Jahrhundertjongleur erzählt und dokumentiert ein exemplarisches Künstlerleben des 20. Jahrhunderts.

"Wissen ist Macht" - dieses Francis Bacon (1561-1626) zugeschriebene Motto begleitet die neuzeitliche Wissenschaft auf ihrem Siegeszug und flößt heute mehr Angst als Bewunderung ein. Aber wieviel vorsichtiger hatte Bacon sich ausgedrückt: Als "Diener und Interpret" nur, der "der Natur gehorcht, kann der Mensch sie beherrschen". Bacon sah sich umgeben von Philosophen, die sich mit Worten der stummen Natur überlegen fühlten, aber ihr doch ausgeliefert waren, weil sie nicht bereit waren, ihr Alphabet zu entziffern; und von Alchimisten, die die Natur und ihre Zuschauer überlisteten, anstatt aufzuklären. Gegen beide setzte Bacon eine neue Philosophie im Dienste der materiellen Wohlfahrt der Menschheit, ein Ziel, das eine neue Einstellung der Menschen zur Natur und zu sich selbst verlangt: Der Mensch muß die Natur erforschen und sich selbst als Forscher begreifen. Bacon, der Jurist und Staatsmann, verstand sein Reformwerk auch als Wissenschafspolitik und ließ nichts unversucht, neue Forschungsinstituionen zu gründen. Der Autor geht diesen Absichten ebenso nach wie den Beziehungen zwischen Bacons Hauptwerk, der "Instauratio Magna", und der Gesellschaftsutopie "Neu-Atlantis" sowie Bacons Auseinandersetzung mit der Alchimie, Magie und Rhetorik der Renaissance, Themen, die auch heute wieder diskutiert werden.

Over the last few decades behavioral economics has revolutionized the discipline. It has done so by putting the human back into economics, by recognizing that people sometimes make mistakes, care about others and are generally not as cold and calculating as economists have traditionally assumed. The results have been exciting and fascinating, and have fundamentally changed the way we look at economic behavior. This textbook introduces all the key results and insights of behavioral economics to a student audience. Ideas such as mental accounting, prospect theory, present bias, inequality aversion and learning are explained in detail. These ideas are also applied in diverse settings, such as auctions, stock market crashes, charitable donations and health care, to show why behavioral economics is crucial to understanding the world around us. Consideration is also given to what makes people happy, and how we can potentially nudge people to be happier. This new edition contains expanded and updated coverage of several topics and applications, including fraud and cybercrime, cryptocurrency, public health messaging, and the COVID-19 pandemic. The companion website is also updated with a range of new questions and worked examples. This book remains the ideal introduction to behavioral economics for advanced undergraduate and graduate students.

Russia's Skinheads: Exploring and Rethinking Subcultural Lives provides a thorough examination of the phenomenon of skinheads, explaining its nature and its significance, and assessing how far Russian skinhead subculture is the 'lumpen' end of the extreme nationalist ideological spectrum. There are large numbers of skinheads in Russia, responsible for a significant number of xenophobic attacks, including 97 deaths in 2008 alone, making this book relevant to Russian specialists as well as to sociologists of youth subculture. It provides a practical example of how to investigate youth subculture in depth over an extended period - in this case through empirical research following a specific group over six years - and goes on to argue that Russian skinhead subculture is not a direct import from the West, and that youth cultural practices should not be reduced to expressions of consumer choice. It presents an understanding of the Russian skinhead as a product of individuals' whole, and evolving, lives, and thereby compels sociologists to rethink how they conceive the nature of subcultures.

Writing test scores indicate that boys have fallen far behind girls across the grades. In general, boys don't enjoy writing as much as girls. What's wrong? How can we do a better of job of creating boy-friendly classrooms so their voices can be heard? In Boy Writers: Reclaiming Their Voices Ralph Fletcher draws upon his years of experience as staff developer, children's book author, and father of four boys. He also taps the insights from dozens of writing teachers around the US and abroad. Boy Writers asks teachers to imagine the writing classroom from a boy's perspective, and consider specific steps we might take to create stimulating classrooms for boys. Topic choice emerges as a crucial issue. The subjects many boys like to write about (war, weapons, outlandish fiction, zany or bathroom humor) often do not get a warm reception from teachers. Fletcher argues that we must widen the circle and give boys more choice if we want to engage them as writers. How? We must begin by recognizing boys and the world in which they live. Boy Writers explores important questions such as: What subjects are boy writers passionate about, and what motivates them as writers? Why do boys like to incorporate violence into their stories, and how much should be allowed? Why do we so often misread and misunderstand the humor boys include in their stories? In addition, the book looks at: how handwriting can hamstring boy writers, and how drawing may help; welcoming boy-friendly writing genres in our classrooms; ways to improve our conferring with boys; and more. Each chapter begins with a thorough discussion of a topic and ends with a highly practical section titled: "What can I do in my classroom?" Boy Writers does not advocate promoting the interests of boys at the expense of girls. Rather, it argues that developing sensitivity to the unique facets of boy writers will help teachers better address the needs of all their students.

It is a timely study with Turkey again at the centre of international attention, as Islamic fundamentalists challenge many of Atatürk's westernising and secularizing reforms, and as the regional aftershocks of the Soviet collapse reopen profound questions about Turkey's nature, role and relationships Atatürk had sought to settle for good.
