Summary : Die Twentes zogen vermutlich zu Beginn des 13. Jahrhunderts, eventuell aus dem niederländischen Twente nach Osnabrück. Die ersten sicheren urkundlichen Erwähnungen weisen sie als Träger bedeutender Ämter aus, zunächst als Richter und Schöffen, dann als Bürgermeister. Sie besaßen ein großes Anwesen mit einem Steinwerk, einem charakteristischen Bauwerk in Osnabrück, das Ausdruck ihrer ökonomischen und politischen Bedeutung war. 1339 gründete Johann Twente sein Hospital. Er und seine Frau brachten in die Stiftung große Teile ihres Vermögens ein. Es war die erste Spitalgründung in Deutschland aus dem Vermögen einer Familie und Beginn einer folgenreichen Entwicklung.

Summary : This work analyzes the necessity of changing Japan's present defense policy. The discussion of Japan's defense strategy has been an unpopular topic in Japan for a long time. The reason lies in its gruesome military aggression during the Second World War. Until the end of the Cold War, Japan did not show big concerns about its defense politics because the United States had protected it from communist enemies. Today, however, China's emerging power and North Korea's nuclearization pose serious threats. America, by contrast, suffers from great financial debts and is facing declining military forces. Japan's main doubt has thus come to light: Would America protect Japan in the case of hostile events? Since the world remains a realistic world, nuclearization can be an option in order to deter enemies. It turned out that Japan has not much of a choice but could provoke a discussion to overcome the nuclear dilemma.

Summary : A warm, gorgeous exploration of a little girl's experience immigrating to a new country and missing her home and her grandmother, who still lives far away. Sakura's dad gets a new job in America, so she and her parents make the move from their home in Japan. When she arrives in the States, most of all she misses her grandmother and the cherry blossom trees, under which she and her grandmother used to play and picnic. She wonders how she'll ever feel at home in this new place, with its unfamiliar language and landscape. One day, she meets her neighbor, a boy named Luke, and begins to feel a little more settled. When her grandmother becomes ill, though, her family takes a trip back to Japan. Sakura is sad when she returns to the States and once again reflects on all she misses. Luke does his best to cheer her up -- and tells her about a surprise he knows she'll love, but she'll have to wait till spring. In the meantime, Sakura and Luke's friendship blooms and finally, when spring comes, Luke takes her to see the cherry blossom trees flowering right there in her new neighborhood. Sakura's Cherry Blossoms captures the beauty of the healing power of friendship through Weston's Japanese poetry-inspired text and Saburi's breathtaking illustrations.
