Living on islands. Rügen and Usedom
This book unites 14 contributions - approximations, trying to understand and describe the people and their everyday lives on the two islands in the Baltic Sea, formerly part of Eastern Germany. The authors deal with the new situation after the unification of Germany - chances and risks of development, the job situation, what inhabitants think about the new situation, what it means to live on islands, how the people deal with outsiders, questions of tourism, nature, history (e.g. the military institutions at Peenemünde), attitudes of young people, visions of the future.

Keywords: Rügen, Usedom, island culture, everyday life
