Tim madigan (174 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Good. It began as another newspaper assignment, a celebrity profile of the children's television icon. But in Fred Rogers, Texas journalist Tim Madigan found more than a fascinating subject. From their first meeting in 1995, at Rogers' invitation, the two became unlikely friends, a deep and abiding relationship that lasted until Rogers' death in 2003. In that time, Madigan found Rogers to be much more than the calm and compassionate personality of television. He was a person of unique human greatness who embodied love, compassion and wisdom his every waking moment. He was the transcendent being who guided Madigan through periods of life-threatening depression and the tragic death of a sibling and helped him heal his difficult relationship with his father. I'm Proud of You reveals Fred Rogers as a person who deserves a place among history's greatest people. It chronicles male friendship at its finest and most powerful. And it is a book that has already brought hope and inspiration to many thousands of its readers. With this second edition, including a new afterword by the author, the inspiration continues. Fred comes to life in I'm Proud of You, with his simple goodness etched on every page, and his complicated greatness etched in the heart of every reader who finishes the book and decides to become a better person.-Tom Junod, writer at large for Esquire A loving testament to the power of friendship and to a most remarkable man. --The Boston Sunday Globe I'm Proud of You will connect with the same audience that loved Mitch Albom's Tuesdays with Morrie and its celebration of male mentoring and friendship. - USA Today A poignant, inspiring account. - Minneapolis Star-Tribune. …

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Includes an All-New Afterword. The definitive account of America's most horrific racial massacre, told in a compelling and unflinching narrative. The Burning is essential reading as America finally comes to terms with its racial past. When first published in 2001, society apparently wasn't ready for such an unstinting narrative. After it was published, The Burning, like its subject matter, remained unknown to most in America. That has changed dramatically. I began to suspect that a crucial piece remained missing from America's long attempts at racial reconciliation, Madigan wrote in 2001 in the author's note to The Burning. Too many in this country remained as ignorant as I was. Too many were just as oblivious to some of the darkest moments in our history, a legacy of which Tulsa is both a tragic example and a shameful metaphor. How can we heal when we don't know what we're healing from? Now, 100 years after the massacre, Madigan brings new resonance to these questions in the reissue of this definitive work of American history. Featuring a brand new afterword, The Burning skillfully places the Tulsa Massacre in a broader historical context. Rather than an exception, the massacre was completely consistent with that time in the United States, an era of Jim Crow, widespread lynching, and racism endorsed and promulgated at the highest levels of society. Such were the foundations of the systemic racism at the root of our problems today. On the morning of June 1, 1921, a white mob numbering in the thousands marched across the railroad tracks dividing Black from white in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and obliterated a Black community then celebrated as one of America's most prosperous. 34 square blocks of Tulsa's Greenwood community, known then as the Negro Wall Street of America, were reduced to smoldering rubble. And now, 100 years later, the death toll of what is known as the Tulsa Race Massacre is more difficult to pinpoint. Conservative estimates put the number of dead at about 100 (75% of the victims are believed to have been Black), but the actual number of casualties could be triple that. The Tulsa Race Riot Commission, formed to determine exactly what happened, has recommended that restitution to the historic Greenwood Community would be good public policy and do much to repair the emotional as well as physical scars of this most terrible incident in our shared past. With chilling details, humanity, and the narrative thrust of compelling fiction, The Burning recreates the town of Greenwood at the height of its prosperity, explores the currents of hatred, racism, and mistrust between its Black residents and neighboring Tulsa's white population, narrates events leading up to and including Greenwood's annihilation, and documents the subsequent silence that surrounded the tragedy.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Die Arbeit beschaftigt sich mit den Implikationen folgender Paradigmen: des Rechtsstaates der Gefahr- und Risikovorsorge und des Verfassungsstaates des Grundgesetzes. Die Analyse erfolgt vor dem Hintergrund der Entscheidung uber den beschleunigten Atomausstieg Deutschlands. Anhand dieses Beispiels kann die Verbindung zwischen vorsorgendem Handeln und den Grundrechten uberpruft werden. Mit der Entscheidung fur eine gestaffelte Abschaltung aller Kernkraftwerke nahm der Staat die Rolle eines Vorsorgestaates ein. Diese Entscheidung fuhrte neben der Beschrankung der Grundrechte der Kernkraftwerkbetreiber und damit einhergehender Relativierung der Verfassungsstaatlichkeit zur Entstehung hoher Schadensersatzanspruche, die aus der Anderung der politischen Richtlinien des Landes fur Energieversorgung resultierten. In diesem Zusammenhang stellt sich die Frage, inwieweit eine Harmonisierung staatlicher Paradigmen moglich ist, ohne dabei die Idee der Verfassungsstaatlichkeit zu riskieren.…
