The Ethics of War: Classic and Contemporary Readings

The Ethics of War: Classic and Contemporary Readings





The Ethics of War is a much-needed anthology addressing issues both timely and age-old about the nature of war. When is recourse to arms morally justifiable? What moral constraints should apply to military conduct? How can a lasting peace be achieved? Over the past two and a half millennia a substantive body of ethical reflection has emerged in response to these and similar questions. This volume offers a collection of essays by classic and medieval philosophers, as well as thinkers of the modern age.

Never before have such seminal texts on the ethics of war been gathered together in a single volume. Expertly introduced by the editors, and including marginal notes for guidance, The Ethics of War is an indispensable resource for philosophers, students, and general readers alike.

My Father’s Game: Life, Death, Baseball

My Father's Game: Life, Death, Baseball





During his long baseball career, Del Wilber caught for the Red Sox, Cardinals and Phillies; managed 6 minor league teams; scouted for 4 major league clubs; and served as third base coach for the Senators. Written by his son, Rick, this elegant biographical memoir recounts Del Wilber's life from the unique perspective of a son who grew up in major league dugouts, experienced the joys and hardships that go along with having a big-league dad, and served as his father's family caregiver as he became terminally ill. The result is a poignant look at the major leaguer's life and the emotionally exasperating ordeal of caring for a dying parent.

Basistechniken des Coaching (German Edition)

Basistechniken des Coaching (German Edition)





Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich Psychologie - Beratung, Therapie, einseitig bedruckt, Note: 1,5, Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main (Psychologie), 7 Eintragungen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Wenn eine Einzelperson oder auch eine Gruppe einen Coach aufsucht und dessen Hilfe bei der Lösung eines Problems erhofft, dann verbindet sie damit gewisse Erwartungen an den Coach. Ein Coach kann dann eingeschaltet werden, wenn eine objektive oder auch nur subjektiv empfundene Krise den/die Betroffenen in der Ausübung seiner/ihrer Arbeitstätigkeit beeinträchtigt oder im privaten Alltag Probleme individueller oder interpersoneller Art auftauchen. Am Arbeitsplatz können solche tieferen Schwierigkeiten oder Konflikte sich an Symptomen wie Burnout, Mobbing, Stress oder Berufs-Deformation zeigen. Im privaten Bereich kann es zu Konflikten in Familien oder Vereinen kommen. Die Anforderungen, die an den Coach gestellt werden, sind vielfältig. Er soll helfen, derartige Probleme zu lösen. Der erste und wichtigste Selbstanspruch des Coach ist dabei „Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe" zu geben. Wie aber ist dies zu erreichen? Der Coach soll „lösungsorientiert vorgehen", „neue Bewertungen schaffen", „Perspektiven aufzeigen", „Rollen und Aufgaben klären" helfen usw. Um dies alles auch leisten zu können, bedarf es einiger grundlegender Techniken, die helfen können, diesem (Selbst-)Anspruch gerecht zu werden. Diese Basistechniken werden in dieser Arbeit vorgestellt.

The World Beneath

The World Beneath

The first novel from acclaimed author Cate Kennedy is a compassionate and unswerving portrait of a broken family whose members go to extraordinary lengths to reclaim their lives and relationships from the mistakes of the past.

Fifteen years after their break-up, Rich and Sandy have both settled into the unfulfilling compromises of middle age: he’s a late-night infomercial editor with photojournalism aspirations; she makes hippie jewelry for a local market and struggles to maintain a New Age lifestyle that fails to provide the answers she seeks. To distract themselves from their inadequacies, Rich and Sandy cling to the shining moment of their youth, when they met as environmental activists as part of a world-famous blockade to save Tasmania’s Franklin River.

Their daughter, Sophie, has always remained skeptical of this ecological fairytale, but when Rich invites her on a backpacking trip through Tasmania for her fifteenth birthday, Sophie sees it as a way to bond with a father she’s never known. As they progress further into the wilderness, the spell of Rich’s worldly charm soon gives way to suspicion and fear as his overconfidence sets off a chain of events that no one could have predicted.
