Most new parents think of diapers as a smelly, expensive, and unavoidable necessity. The good news is that it’s possible—even practical—to raise your kids without diapers. In Diaper Free!, Ingrid Bauer shows how you can:* Save thousands of dollars* Reduce landfill waste (single-use disposable diapers are responsible for one third of the non- biodegradable waste in landfills)* Avoid diaper rash* Use the “Four Tools for Diaper Freedom” to enhance your relationship with your baby and deepen communication. Based on extensive research, case studies, and the author’s own experience, Diaper Free! is a warm and helpful companion at every stage, from the first magical days of your baby’s life, to complete toilet independence. BACKCOVER: “The true solution to the diaper dilemma. . . . Packed with information, examples, and support. A valuable addition to the library of any pregnant or new mother.”—Teresa Pitman, La Leche League International

This collection of surveys and research articles explores a fascinating class of varieties: Beauville surfaces. It is the first time that these objects are discussed from the points of view of algebraic geometry as well as group theory. The book also includes various open problems and conjectures related to these surfaces.Beauville surfaces are a class of rigid regular surfaces of general type, which can be described in a purely algebraic combinatoric way. They play an important role in different fields of mathematics like algebraic geometry, group theory and number theory. The notion of Beauville surface was introduced by Fabrizio Catanese in 2000 and after the first systematic study of these surfaces by Ingrid Bauer, Fabrizio Catanese and Fritz Grunewald, there has been an increasing interest in the subject.These proceedings reflect the topics of the lectures presented during the workshop ‘Beauville surfaces and groups 2012’, held at Newcastle University, UK in June 2012. This conference brought together, for the first time, experts of different fields of mathematics interested in Beauville surfaces.

This volume contains a collection of research papers dedicated to Hans Grauert on the occasion of his seventieth birthday. Hans Grauert is a pioneer in modern complex analysis, continuing the il­ lustrious German tradition in function theory of several complex variables of Weierstrass, Behnke, Thullen, Stein, Siegel, and many others. When Grauert came on the scene in the early 1950's, function theory was going through a revolutionary period with the geometric theory of complex spaces still in its embryonic stage. A rich theory evolved with the joint efforts of many great mathematicians including Oka, Kodaira, Cartan, and Serre. The Car­ tan Seminar in Paris and the Kodaira Seminar provided important venues an for its development. Grauert, together with Andreotti and Remmert, took active part in the latter. In his career he has nurtured a great number of his own doctoral students as well as other young mathematicians in his field from allover the world. For a couple of decades his work blazed the trail and set the research agenda in several complex variables worldwide. Among his many fundamentally important contributions, which are too numerous to completely enumerate here, are: 1. The complete clarification of various notions of complex spaces. 2. The solution of the general Levi problem and his work on pseudo convexity for general manifolds. 3. The theory of exceptional analytic sets. 4. The Oka principle for holomorphic bundles. 5. The proof of the Mordell conjecture for function fields. 6. The direct image theorem for coherent sheaves.

Im ›Zeitalter der Briefe‹ spielte das Korrespondieren eine bedeutungsvolle Rolle, um Liebesbeziehungen anzubahnen, zu vertiefen und eine gemeinsame Zukunft zu gestalten. Dabei formulierten die Schreibenden immer auch Erwartungen und Wunschbilder an das jeweilige Gegenüber und verhandelten Konzepte von Liebe und Ehe. Das macht Paarkorrespondenzen zu spannenden und aussagekräftigen Quellen, um eine Geschichte der Liebe, der Geschlechterbeziehungen und des ›privaten‹ Schreibens in der Moderne neu zu erschließen. Wie prägten sich wandelnde historische Kontexte dieses (Über) Liebe schreiben? Waren die in vielen Anleitungsbüchern empfohlenen Modelle ›des Liebesbriefs‹ oder die kulturelle Leitidee der romantischen Liebe in verschiedenen sozialen Milieus tatsächlich maßgeblich? Und welche Bilder von Weiblichkeit und Männlichkeit wurden in den Briefen figuriert?In diesem aus einem österreichischen Forschungsprojekt entstandenen Bandes gehen Historikerinnen solchen Fragen für das 19. und 20. Jahrhundert auf der Basis umfangreicher popularer Paarkorrespondenzen nach. Bisherige kulturwissenschaftliche Studien zum ›Liebesbrief‹ werden um historische Dimensionen vielschichtig erweitert. Etwa bezogen auf Gefühlspraktiken werbender Männer in den 1860/70er Jahren oder auf bürgerliche Paare vor dem Hintergrund der Frauenbewegungen um 1900. Mit Korrespondenzen aus den 1920er Jahren kommt die Irritation bürgerlicher Geschlechter- und Ehenormen durch kameradschaftliche Modelle in den Blick. In den Briefquellen aus den experimentierfreudigen Nach-1968er Jahren wird die Transformation konventioneller Lebensentwürfe von ihrer intimen Innenseite her ausgelotet. Andere Beiträge behandeln den Wandel der Sprache des Sexuellen oder die Zeit der beiden Weltkriege in Hinblick auf kriegsspezifische ›Gefühlsregime‹ und Liebe im Kontext des nationalsozialistischen ›Vernichtungskrieges‹. Oder sie stellen die Frage nach dem Paar und seiner Vernetzung im familiären und sozialen Umfeld.

Ausgehend von den Stimmen der Betroffenen analysiert dieses Buch die Verantwortungskette hinter dem staatlichen System der österreichischen Fürsorge- und Heimerziehung nach 1945. Am Beispiel Salzburg werden das Zusammenwirken von Jugendämtern, heilpädagogischen Einrichtungen, Erziehungsheimen und Politik untersucht sowie der gesetzliche Rahmen und die gesellschaftlichen Haltungen, Normen, aber auch Problemlagen, die dem Handeln der AkteurInnen zugrunde lagen. In den Blick genommen werden aber auch Gegendiskurse und alternative Entwürfe zur repressiven, vielfach menschenverachtenden Praxis des alten Systems, die sich ab den 1970er Jahren langsam zum Paradigmenwechsel einer Orientierung am "Wohle des Kindes" und seiner Rechte verdichten.Die vorliegende Studie wurde von einem Team von HistorikerInnen erarbeitet. Abgeschlossene Geschichte ist ihr Thema jedoch nicht, weil tausende Betroffene von damals die Folgen von Ausgrenzung, Stigmatisierung, Demütigung, Gewalt, Missbrauch bis heute mit sich tragen und die gesellschaftliche Verantwortung für das erlittene Unrecht zu Recht einfordern.

This volume addresses an issue that was until recently taboo: children fathered by Black American GIs who were stationed in Europe during and after World War II and whose mothers were local citizens. They were born into societies that defined themselves as White and rejected this extremely visible portion of the so-called occupation children.Black and White are in this volume not (only) understood as descriptions of skin color, but above all as social constructs and political categories with racist attributions and effects. The authors of the contributions examine the manner in which these mixed-race children and their mothers were treated by their societies and the respective authorities; they assess the experiences and self-understandings of the individuals affected; they discuss their institutionalization and the strategy practiced by the youth welfare agencies of giving these children up for adoption abroad; and finally they highlight how African American couples in the USA interpreted the adoption of these mixed-race children from Europe as an act of Black resistance against White supremacy.
