November 2021The Metropolitan Age
The decisive force in the Anthropocene
by German Environmental Foundation (Ed.)
Three quarters of the world’s population live in cities. One in eight people lives in a metropolitan area. Megacities swallow up land, energy and resources – and at the same time are particularly hard hit by the current climate crisis that they fuel. However, in the metropolises of the overcrowded world plenty of committed people have heard the warning signals and establish networks to use the potential of cities to reorganize the participative and social-ecological activity that is urgently needed. The contributions to this Yearbook for Ecology focus on the present and future of cities from wide-ranging viewpoints and highlight perspectives for their creative transformation towards liveable sustainability.

September 2022Lust
Fuckability, orgasm gap and #metoo
by Henriette Hell
Lust, a mortal sin? These times are over. In today's public perception, it is more likely for a boring sex life to be categorised as that. In statistical terms, people have never had as little sex with each other as they do today. And yet tips for a good sex life are to be found on every (digital) corner. Sex has mutated into a lifestyle product, and terms like 'fuckability' and 'MILF' trip lightly off our tongues. Henriette Hell takes a closer look at the thing about sex. She traces the history and genesis of 'sexual liberation', and sheds light on the 'cheating gene' and the #metoo debate. The author asks (and answers) the question of whether sex is becoming more and more antisocial and what actually still turns us on today. In doing so, she focuses on the former mortal sin of lust, which is inseparably linked to the systematic suppression of female lust (and its liberation).

August 2009Viel Glück!
Insel-Kalender auf das Jahr 2010
by Wilhelm Schmid, Edward Hopper
»Viel Glück!« wünscht man sich gegenseitig zum Jahresbeginn. Und dieses Glück soll Woche für Woche, Monat für Monat bis zum 31. Dezember anhalten. Aber nicht wenige Menschen werden unglücklich, nur weil sie glauben, immer glücklich sein zu müssen. Mit diesem Kalender wird das Glücksverlangen in nachdenklichere Bahnen gelenkt. Es geht nicht ums ganze, sondern um Momente des Glücks. Jeden Monat zwei Texte von Wilhelm Schmid, der seine Philosophie der Lebenskunst hier für den Alltag versammelt hat. Illustriert mit farbigen Bildern des amerikanischen Künstlers Edward Hopper, dessen Gemälde die Fülle des Lebens festhalten. Wilhelm Schmid, geboren 1953, freier Philosoph, lebt in Berlin.

March 2020Im Alten Land
by Birgit Haustedt
Apfelbäume, so weit das Auge reicht, idyllische Fachwerkdörfer hinter dem Deich und am Horizont die Elbe: Das Alte Land ist eine uralte Kulturlandschaft am Wasser, die ihren eigenen Charakter bewahrt hat. Prächtige Bauernhöfe und Backsteinkirchen mit kostbaren Barockorgeln zeugen noch heute vom frühen Wohlstand der Altländer. Birgit Haustedt erzählt von den Anfängen im Mittelalter, von Deichbau und Sturmfluten, vom Alltag der kleinen Leute und von großer Handwerkskunst, von stolzen Bauern und mutigen Schiffern. Dazu ein Exkurs, welche Rolle das Alte Land in Lessings Leben und Goethes Faust spielte.
