Hitting the road of globalization (2)
Kategorie: Kultur
Developing a developed country
As we have almost reached the top of the hill plateau north of Albuquerque, New Mexico, a water truck passes spraying water on the road to keep the dust down.

Full reward
Kategorie: Geistes- & Sozialwissenschaften
Up to the present days I have always considered religion to be a combination of individual belief and community practice based on a transcendental but non financial fundament.

Quality for less
I have travelled throughout parts of the USA these weeks. I have travelled along the formation of a leading country in our world. And I have hit the road of globalization with all its disparities.

Nameless
Kategorie: Kultur
Southeast of Marfa towards the border of Mexico there is a little ghost town called Shafter. If you leave the highway and follow a dirt road to a tiny plateau you will find an old Mexican cemetery full of ‚wolf graves'. They are very shallow because the ground is so rocky that people can't dig deep.

Cruise until forever lost
Kategorie: Geistes- & Sozialwissenschaften
Driving in the U.S. is a pleasure. There is nothing more comfortable in this country than cars and roads. And there is nothing people do care more about. Driving from Albuquerque, New Mexico, to Marfa, Texas, I detected the cruise function in my rental car.

Truth or Consequences
Kategorie: Politik
PS: The little town "Truth or Consequences" was formerly known as "Hot Springs" (based on the mineralized hot springs every guest still can enjoy in a hot tub under the nightly sky even without wearing a bathing suit - a quite uncommon opportunity in the U.S.)

A place to meet
Kategorie: Kultur
I learn to love these business hotels. They are almost all the same, green carpets with traces of former guests, a coffee machine, a big TV set with additional offerings of mature audience content. You won't be able to guess where you are until leaving the hotel again.

Exhaust yourself

Yesterday was "hiking day": From the rim of the Grand Canyon down to the Colorado River and back up again.

The narrative of landscape
Kategorie: Umwelt · Kommentare: 1
It is true that trees can tell stories about growth and the change of seasons, that mountains tell the story of the earth and evolution as well as very individual stories about human challenges and failures, that the sun every day tells the story of an beginning and an end.

Option out
Kategorie: Politik
Which road are the Democrats going to take? After the debate between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama yesterday evening, six days ahead of the Pennsylvania Primaries, nothing has become less unclear than is has been for the last weeks.

Isn't that bitter?
Kategorie: Politik · Kommentare: 1
Getting closer to the Pennsylvania primaries on the 22nd of April a topic has popped up that might do some damage to Barack Obama and his potential results in the East Coast State. It was the Huffington Post, the popular weblog of Ariana Huffington, that brought it up.

Compassion for a coin
Kategorie: Kultur · Kommentare: 1
I wouldn't believe it, but it was true. I was standing in front of a trash can at the airport with one handful of pennies, ready and willing to just throw them away. In the nick of time I realized what I was about to do and that this at least didn't suit my serious education.

The seduction of the perfect hamburger
Kategorie: Kultur
Since several years I have been trying to commit myself to healthy eating. Fruit in the morning, salad for lunch, lots of fish and vegetables. Not to mention the unsalted peanuts I am addicted to.

The center of the world
Kategorie: Kultur
A ceiling fresco does not need to be beautiful in any case, but it often tells the truth about the times in which it was painted and about the people inspecting it in their social context.

Traces of man made disaster
When I came to New Orleans I had no idea how Hurricane Katrina had really hit and destroyed the town. It was a journalist who provided insight, the Feature Editor of the local newspaper, the Times Picayune. The team did a great job covering the storm and its consequences and got two Pulitzer Prices for their reporting.

Amerikanische Begegnungen
Das Interview zum Blog:
ScienceBlogs: Sie waren sicher oft in den USA. Wovon erhoffen Sie sich neue, tiefgründigere Einblicke?
Miriam Meckel: Eines der spannendsten Themen ist natürlich der US-Wahlkampf, den ich jetzt aus einem anderen Blickwinkel beobachten kann. Ich habe schon einige Eindrücke zu den brennenden Fragen bekommen, mit denen ich mich beschäftigen muss: Rassen- und Geschlechterfragen, Obdachlosigkeit. Und natürlich werde ich viele Kolleginnen und Kollegen aus der Wissenschaft und aus den Medien treffen.

The new normality
Kategorie: Geistes- & Sozialwissenschaften·Politik·Umwelt
It is hot and humid and I immediately associate "water" with this city. It's the humidity in the air of about 98 percent. It's my skin covered by sweat right after leaving the airport. And it's what people have in mind when coming to New Orleans - the city that was disastrously flooded after Hurricane Katrina had hit the town with up to 250 kmh on 29th of August 2005.

The audacity of speaking out in election campaigns
At an evening reception these days in Philadelphia I spoke to a business man about 60 years old. As in lots of other discussions the talk quickly triggered the U.S. elections. He told me he was about to change his registration as a Republican to be able to vote for Barack Obama at the upcoming primaries in Pennsylvania on 22nd of April.

Get off the treadmill
Kategorie: Kultur · Kommentare: 1
Incredible it is how things change after a few days abroad. Having been away now for more than a week from office, daily working routines, a flood of emails, regularly looking after the dishwasher, trying to squeeze in laundry between two meetings uphill and downhill I feel my life has sweepingly changed. More though: I have changed as well.
