  The aim of this study is to identify and prioritize factors that determine the reputation of insurance companies in Germany and Slovakia. After gaining an overview of the status of the issue through a systematic literature review, the insurers' perspective was examined. The customers' perspective was then examined by means of an online survey, which was answered by 224 insurance customers in Germany and Slovakia. The study showed that other factors often determine reputation in the insurance industry compared to other industries. Based on the results of the study, a 10-point plan was developed that provides insurers with a basis for reputation management in order to eliminate potential reputational risks in advance and prevent reputational damage.

  Agreeing to Disagree - How the...

  The Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion", may be the most contentious and misunderstood provision of the entire United States Constitution. What exactly is an "establishment of religion"? And what is a law "respecting" it? 
   
   
   
  Many commentators reduce the clause to "the separation of church and state." This implies that church and state are at odds, that the public sphere must be secular, and that the Establishment Clause is in tension with the Free Exercise of Religion Clause. All of these implications misconstrue the Establishment Clause's original purpose. The clause facilitates religious diversity and guarantees equality of religious freedom by prohibiting the government from coercing or inducing citizens to change their religious beliefs and practices. 
   
   
   
  In Agreeing to Disagree, Nathan S. Chapman and Michael W. McConnell detail the theological, political, and philosophical underpinnings of the Establishment Clause, state disestablishment, and the disestablishment norms applied to the states by the Fourteenth Amendment. In one of the most thorough accounts of the Establishment Clause, Chapman and McConnell argue that the clause is best understood as a constitutional commitment for Americans to agree to disagree about matters of faith.

  A delusion is a strong belief despite evidence to the contrary. The Watergate delusion, embraced by millions, is that Bob Woodward and the left confronted the malevolent Nixon administration and saved democracy. But the actual evidence demonstrates that Watergate was not a shining example of democracy, and Bob Woodward’s place among journalistic immortals is a grift. 
  The Truth About Watergate demonstrates that Nixon’s enemies on the right initially had the means, motive, and opportunity. It exposes Woodward’s Big Lie about Alexander Haig and its seismic implications, challenging the synergistic mythologies of Bob Woodward and “Deep Throat.” Discover the extraordinary lies and liars of Watergate and the fervent motives of The Washington Post for banishing revisionist books to the conspiracy theory ghetto.

  A compact and charming history of the font we love to hate by the New York Times bestselling author of Just My Type. 
   
   
   
  Since its improvised creation at Microsoft in the mid-1990s, Comic Sans has become one of the most used and talked-about typefaces of the digital age. The subject of April Fools pranks and endless internet discourse, it has spawned a movement to ban it, inspired revivals and spinoffs, and continues to be widely promoted by educators. In this delightful history, bestselling author Simon Garfield tells the story of how Comic Sans emerged from speech bubbles on educational software to become one of the most recognized—and reviled—typefaces on earth. He considers how the computer transformed type into something that anyone could use and have an opinion on, explores how new fonts emerge with changing times and technology, and meets die-hard Comic Sans adherents and haters. He concludes the book by asking the unimaginable: Could Comic Sans now be the coolest typeface ever made?
