November 2021The Forest of the Future – A New Reality
Understanding the ecosystem
by Hans Jürgen Böhmer
What happened with forest dieback? The predictions of the 1980s that forests would be in decline across Europe have not come true. Currently, attention again focuses on the doom scenarios of the loss of entire forests and cultural landscapes in an emotional and sometimes hysterical debate. Biogeographer Hans Jürgen Böhmer refers to updated case studies and his 30 years of research experience on global ecosystems to demonstrate extremely complex interrelations of the natural world that various actors monitor in contrasting ways and characterized by different times and ideologies. Böhmer advocates to embed the sustainability debate more strongly in the living environment, rather than relying exclusively on model calculations.

Humanities & Social SciencesApril 2026A Confucian theory of power
by Sungmoon Kim
In the book's lead essay, Sungmoon Kim offers a comprehensive analysis of Confucian power. Through a blend of philosophical, political, and historical analysis, Kim challenges the dominant idea that Confucianism is primarily centred on virtue ethics. Instead, he argues that Confucianism perceives power through the prism of responsibility. Kim not only traces this perspective throughout history but also demonstrates its relevance to contemporary society. He contrasts this Confucian perspective with Western political theory's view of power as control. Political theorists and philosophers will offer essay responses to Sungmoon Kim's provocation, offering a dialogue approach to provide a comprehensive analysis of the Confucian conception of power.

by Andreas H. Schmachtl
There are 24 days to go until Christmas. In the mouse house there is a delicious smell of punch, and Tilda busily hunts through her pantry: she wants to do some baking. The best of all flavours is still Aunt Emily’s frost-hip jelly. Christmas can’t come without that. But what a shock! There are no frost hips left! And it’s so difficult to get fresh ones, because they only grow in the north. Without further ado, Tilda sets off on an exciting journey through the winter forest, and she has the most weird and wonderful Christmas adventures on the way…

March 2024BiBiBiber hat da mal 'ne Frage. Sind Dinos wirklich alle tot?
Dr. Mai Thi Nguyen-Kim & Marie Meimberg wissen, warum Dinos noch leben und die Stärksten nicht immer gewinnen
by Mai Thi Nguyen-Kim, Marie Meimberg, Marie Meimberg
In diesem Sach-Bilderbuch haben Mai Thi Nguyen-Kim und Marie Meimberg auf über 100 Seiten all ihr Wissen in Antworten und Bildern vereint. Wenn Du dieses Buch liest, wirst Du verstehen, warum Dinos noch leben und was das mit der Geschichte der Erde zu tun hat. Mit Evolutionstheorie, dem Wettbewerb der Tiere und der Tatsache, dass wir besser überleben, wenn wir sehr, sehr unterschiedlich sind. Du wirst verstehen: Diese scheinbar kleine Frage ist mit der Klimakatastrophe, der Gut-Schlecht-Gleichzeitigkeit, Massensterben, T-rex-Klettergerüsten und Insel-Kiwis verbunden. Und mit uns. Mit der Frage, wie wir leben wollen. Und wie wir mit unserer Menschen-Magie die Welt verändern. Wissenschaft spannend erzählt, überraschend und lyrisch zugleich. Erfahre in diesem Kindersachbuch, warum wir immer noch täglich Dinos sehen – und viele andere ganz erstaunliche Fakten. Von den beiden Autorinnen Marie Meimberg, Kulturwissenschaftlerin und preisgekrönte interdisziplinäre Künstlerin, und Mai Thi Nguyen-Kim, Chemikerin und vielfach ausgezeichnete Wissenschaftsjournalistin. Wissenschaft wie Poesie: Selten war fundiertes Allgemeinwissen so unterhaltsam und spannend. Genial als Geschenk für Kinder ab 7 Jahren und alle Erwachsenen, die „maiLab“ auf YouTube lieben.
