Bücher von Stefan Franzen

Die Klangschätze unserer Welt als täglicher BegleiterWarum entstand die Bossa Nova auf dem Klo? Wie kam die Rumba in den Kongo? Ist der Fado Portugals wirklich so traurig? Und was ist ein indischer Raga, was ein arabischer Maqam? Journalist und Radioautor Stefan Franzen spürt seit vielen Jahren den Tönen abseits von Rock, Pop, Klassik nach und erkundet die musikalischen Besonderheiten ganz verschiedener Kulturen. Auf seinen Reisen nach Brasilien und Ghana, nach Istanbul und Katalonien, ins norwegische Eis und zu englischen Folk-Festivals tauchte er vor Ort tief in die jeweilige Musikkultur ein - entdeckte aber auch Verblüffendes in nächster Nachbarschaft.Nun hat er seine Begegnungen und Erkenntnisse zu einem originellen Kalendarium gebündelt. Anhand globaler musikalischer Kurzgeschichten entstand ein spannender Begleiter durchs ganze Jahr, gewürzt mit aufschlussreichen Anekdoten, Zitaten sowie Hinweisen auf kulturelle und politische Ereignisse. Die 366 Mosaiksteinchen bilden eine alternative Musikgeschichte unserer Welt: mit Carminho, Bobby McFerrin, Anoushka Shankar, Gilberto Gil und Angélique Kidjo, aber auch mit George Harrison, Kate Bush, Joni Mitchell und Caterina Valente!

This book offers a scientific whistleblower¿s perspective on current implementation of federal research misconduct regulations. It provides a narrative of general interest that relates current cases of research ethics to philosophical, historical and sociological accounts of fraud in scientific research. The evidence presented suggests that the problems of falsification and fabrication remain as great as ever, but hidden because the current system puts universities in charge of investigations and permits them to use confidentiality regulations to hide the outcomes of investigations. The book documents the significant conflict of interest that arises because federal regulation gives universities the responsibility to conduct investigations of their own faculty with severely limited oversight. The book is intended for young research scientists or anyone who wishes to understand the challenges faced by scientists in the workplace today. The central thread in the book is an exclusive account of an experienced research scientist who was the first to expose the facts that led to the longest running research misconduct investigation in the history of the National Science Foundation.
