Michael Peters

    September 4, 1948

    Michael A. Peters delves into the philosophy and social policy of education, exploring the significance of contemporary philosophers and poststructuralism. His work interrogates the political economy of knowledge production and consumption, with a focus on distributed systems of knowledge, learning, and publishing, as well as 'open education'. His writings engage critically with major philosophical movements and their impact on educational theory and practice.

      In the competitive world, conditioning is everything. Athletes who can get an edge have a better chance of moving up the ladder to more and more elite levels of play. But one aspect of conditioning that is often overlooked is vision. Ignored or undetected problems in the visual system have stopped many athletes' progress before making it to the professional -- or even college levels -- and has even ended otherwise promising professional athletic careers. Vision can be conditioned just like any other physical attribute, and the earlier this conditioning starts, the better. In See to Play , eminent optometrist Michael Peters, who works with many professional athletes and sports teams, addresses every aspect of this vital component of elite athletics. Included are in-depth discussions of all facets of vision accompanied by myriad exercises to help athletes hone and condition peripheral vision, acuity, speed of focus, eye- hand-body coordination, and more. His techniques also help the older veteran athlete play young and the weekend warrior gain the edge! Constructed for athletes of all ages, this essential book will truly enhance your or your child athlete's ability to see to play!

    • A historicist and non-foundationalist view of rationality is explored through an interpretation of Wittgenstein's later works, particularly in relation to educational theory. The author critiques the analytic philosophy of education for misinterpreting Wittgenstein, which leads to a flawed universal conception of rationality. Instead, the book advocates for a constitutive notion that is historical and cultural, aligning with broader philosophical trends. It aims to replace the universal view with a Hegelian interpretation of Wittgenstein, highlighting his anti-foundationalist stance.

    • Geschichte Frankens

      Franken, das Herzland des alten deutschen Reiches, zeichnet sich durch eine historisch gewachsene Vielfalt aus. Die Region umfasst große und kleine geistliche Stifte, Reichsstädte, Fürstentümer und Grafschaften, die sich die fruchtbare Landschaft an Main, Regnitz, Jagst und Tauber teilen. Trotz dieser Zersplitterung zeigt sich eine eng verbundene Geschichte, die Michael Peters lebendig und kompetent erzählt. Bislang fehlte eine zusammenfassende Geschichte Frankens, die vom ersten Auftreten des Stammes bis zum Ende des „Fränkischen Reichskreises“ reicht. Dieses Buch schließt diese Lücke, indem es eine Fülle historischer Informationen auf verständliche Weise präsentiert. Es bietet einen Überblick über die Geschichte Frankens bis zum Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts. Zitate und Quellen sind geschickt integriert und bereichern die anschauliche Darstellung. Peters wechselt zwischen großer Politik und dem Alltag in Franken, was das Buch besonders lesenswert macht. Michael Peters, Dr. phil., Jahrgang 1954, lebt in Erlangen und hat zahlreiche Ausstellungsprojekte sowie wissenschaftliche Veröffentlichungen realisiert.

      Geschichte Frankens
    • Michaela Peters ist die einzige Köchin in der Kulinaria-Hochburg Elsaß, die mit einem Stern dekoriert wurde. Und sie ist die einzige Deutsche, die das bisher im Land der Feinschmecker - Frankreich - geschafft hat. Nach ihrer Lehrzeit arbeitete sie zwei Jahre bei den Gebrüder Häberlin in der legendären „Auberge de l´Ill“, kurz Illhäusern genannt - Frankreichs Adresse No.1, und das seit 35 Jahren. Ihr Stil ist geprägt von der klassisch französischen Küche, die sie mit viel Raffinesse und Gespür abzuwandeln weiß. Trotz ihrer ausgefeilten Kombinationen bleibt der Eigengeschmack des Produktes klar im Vordergrund und erhält durch die separat gereichten Saucen neue Nuancen. Michaela Peters pflegt den Stil der franzosischen Küche, den sie den heutigen Essgewohnheiten angepasst hat: leicht, schnell, qualitätsbewusst und natürlich lecker.
