        The Clock Can Go

        The end of the culture of obedience

        by Karlheinz A. Geißler

        For more than 500 years, the clock has dictated the rhythm of life in the Western World. Clocks were impossible to miss: they were on church towers, at railway stations and factories, they struck the hours and urged people to hurry. But these days, clocks and the punctuality they insisted upon are on the retreat. Nowadays, we are rarely asked “What is the time?” and it is no longer customary to present golden watches or clocks to commemorate important life events. Now we rely on mobile devices and displays to tell us the time, the steady stroke of the rigid clock has been replaced by a more flexible network: we stream TV programmes when we feel like it, we listen to podcasts at any time; chatting, flirting and dating no longer requires prior agreement on time and place. However, what will follow after we have freed ourselves from the chains of the clock god? Emeritus Professor of Economics and time expert Karlheinz A. Geißler shows us that when the influence of the clock disappears, liberating perspectives emerge for experiencing time in social relationships – beyond time pressure and dictates of punctuality.

        Work & Care – The Path to Compatibility Competence

        Reconciling Work and Caring for Family Members

        by Iren Bischofberger

        The book focuses on people who, in addition to their gainful employment, are also responsible for caring for sick, impaired, or very old relatives - in other words, “work & care”. This topic is at the intersection of two scarce resources - the private unpaid care potential for loved ones on the one hand and the employment potential of family members on the other. The author examines what the professional, operational, and political consequences are for nursing science and practice as well as for service providers and payers. She makes suggestions for the development of personal, family, and organizational compatibility competence on the levels of action time-out and regeneration, knowledge and empowerment, coordination and organization, exchange and accompaniment. Finally, she offers options for action for nursing science and sheds light on the field of activity of scientific policy advice.

        Zeit zum Genießen

        Fünfzig Verführungen

        by Gesine Dammel

        »Der geglückte Tag ist unvergleichlich. Er ist einzigartig«, weiß Peter Handke. Doch was macht einen geglückten Tag aus? Einfach im Bett bleiben, wie Fontane vorschlägt? Einen Einkaufsbummel machen wie Lily Brett oder einen Fallschirmsprung wie Ulrike Draesner? Oder doch lieber die Stille bei einem Glas Wein und einem guten Buch genießen? Das Leben genießen ... das kommt in der Hektik des Alltags oft zu kurz. Der vorliegende Band lädt ein, schöne Augenblicke und genussvolle Momente mit berühmten Autorinnen und Autoren zu teilen, und auch die vermeintlich kleinen Dinge neu zu entdecken – und er möchte dazu verführen, Neues zu entdecken und auszuprobieren. Mit Texten von Lily Brett, Eva Demski, Ulrike Draesner, Rose Tremain, Rainer Maria Rilke, Robert Walser, Wilhelm Schmid, Herman Hesse, Lars Mytting, Hanns-Josef Ortheil, Karlheinz Ott u. v. a.
