Rosalinde von Christine Nöstlinger hat ein Loch im Socken, einen Verband ums Knie, einen Marienkäfer in der Hand, eine Kette um den Hals und: Rosalinde hat Gedanken im Kopf. Geheime Gedanken, Freudengedanken und Mutgedanken. Rosalinde möchte nämlich Kapitänin werden oder Pilotin. Aber das geht nicht, sagt der Fredi, "so ein Kapitän, der braucht viel Mut. Der braucht dreimal so viel Mut, wie ein Mädchen überhaupt haben kann!" Doch da wird Rosalinde richtig wütend! Denn Rosalinde ist eine liebenswert-eigensinnige Heldin mit viel mehr als nur Flausen im Kopf.

Die philosophische Frage nach der Seele gehört zu den ältesten und zugleich aktuellsten Themen der Philosophie. Bis heute ist keineswegs geklärt, was das Seelische bzw. Geistige ausmacht und wie es sich zum Physischen verhält. Dies belegen die gegenwärtigen Kontroversen zwischen Neurowissenschaft und Philosophie über menschliche Willensfreiheit. Der Band präsentiert die wirkungsmächtigsten Positionen zum Begriff der Seele von der Antike bis zur Neuzeit und diskutiert darüber hinaus aktuelle Problemlagen der Bewußtseinsphilosophie. Alle Beiträge stammen von international renommierten Spezialisten, richten sich aber dezidiert an ein breiteres Publikum. So bietet der Band zugleich einen Beitrag zur aktuellen Debatte um Geist und Gehirn und eine fundierte Einführung in das Thema.

The prize is a superb extra magical power. Just the thing for a young owl witch like Petunia, think the seven litte owls, and so they secretly enter their witch for the competition. There is just one catch: whoever comes last in solving the extremely difficult magic problems must hand over her witch’s broomstick. Oh dear! The trouble is, all the other witches are very old and are real experts in the art of magic… Fortunately, and as always, Petunia can rely on her little owls!

A shocking glimpse into the mind of a medieval witch hunter. In 1487, the zealous Dominican inquisitor Heinrich Kramer wrote a treatise that would have a remarkable influence on European history. Blaming women for his own lust, and frustrated by official complacency before what he saw as a monstrous spiritual menace, Kramer penned a practical guide to aid law officers in the identification and prosecution of witches. Fusing theology, lurid anecdotes and advice for those engaged in combating sorcery, The Malleus Maleficarum transports the reader into the dark heart of medieval belief - where fear of the supernatural provokes a gripping struggle for understanding and control. Kramer's book led to the burning of numerous innocents and had a lasting impact on the popular image of witchcraft. It remains a sinister symbol of fanaticism and cruelty to this day.
