For over thirty years, with fly rod in hand, Tim Peters’ travels to diverse places involve trips as simple as an afternoon at a state park to complex backcountry adventures.  His experiences include angling for trout, bluegill, or bass whilst surrounded by the majestic beauty of Yellowstone National Park, the remote peacefulness of the Catskills, the clear streams of the Ozarks and the swift waters of the Great Smoky Mountains.   He has ventured to Lake Miguel Aleman in northern Mexico and across the pond to the quiet, flowing rivers of central Ireland.  Tim’s love for the outdoors has now led him to employ his talents as a fly fishing instructor and guide for a renowned nature park.With the author’s obvious passion for all things fly fishing, the reader becomes Tim’s companion, able to recall his own experiences in nature, and to become inspired to traverse the stream once again to create his own new adventures.  Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy the light hearted writing, and the humor found in the adventures, as well as the depth of his reflections, fit for encouraging the younger generation to develop their own passion for the beauty of the great outdoors.  Life lessons taught in joyful anecdotes that reach even those who do not yet know the difference between a fly rod and a fishin’ pole…while even teaching same.

Der Antifaschismus gehört zu den zentralen Politikfeldern und Identifikationsmerkmalen der PDS, die sich im Vorfeld der Bundestagswahlen 2005 in "Die Linkspartei" umbenannt hat. In der Studie werden die Geschichte des Antifaschismus in Deutschland sowie seine Bedeutung für die Ideologie, Organisation und Strategie der Postkommunisten analysiert. Der Autor bewertet die Politik der PDS aus antiextremistischer Perspektive, also aus der Sicht des demokratischen Verfassungsstaates. Inwieweit nutzt der PDS-Antifaschismus der Demokratie? Inwieweit schadet er ihr? Die Arbeit zieht dabei einen Vergleich über den Umgang mit Rechtsextremismus zwischen CDU, CSU, SPD, FDP und Bündnis 90/Die Grünen einerseits sowie der PDS andererseits.
