May 2022Tillys Kinderkram. Tilly wird fast Vegetarianerin
by Jasmin Schaudinn, Angela Gstalter
In "Tillys Kinderkram. Tilly wird fast Vegetarianerin" begleitet Jasmin Schaudinn junge Leser auf eine humorvolle Entdeckungsreise durch die Augen der lebhaften Tilly, die sich plötzlich mit dem Konzept des Vegetarismus konfrontiert sieht. Inspiriert von ihrem kindergärtnerischen Vorbild Devin, beginnt Tilly zu hinterfragen, was es bedeutet, Vegetarier zu sein, insbesondere als sie realisiert, dass ihre geliebte Salami tatsächlich aus Fleisch besteht. Dies führt zu einem charmanten inneren Konflikt und dem Versuch, sich an eine fleischlose Ernährung zu gewöhnen – zumindest vorübergehend. Neben diesem großen Vorhaben taucht Tilly zusammen mit ihrer Freundin Azra in eine Welt voller kindlicher Fantasien ein, die von künstlichen Nägeln aus Spielsteinen bis zu selbstgebastelten Handys reicht. Ihr Entschluss, Vegetarierin zu werden, wird auf die Probe gestellt, als die Aussicht auf Chicken Nuggets mit ihrem Vater sie wieder in Versuchung führt. Diese Geschichte fängt auf bezaubernde Weise die Neugierde, die Widersprüche und das Entdecken neuer Ideen im Kindesalter ein, verpackt in eine Erzählung über Freundschaft, Familie und die ersten Schritte hin zu bewussteren Entscheidungen. Kindliche Perspektive auf aktuelle Themen: Erschließt Trendthemen wie gesunde Ernährung und Vegetarismus auf eine Weise, die für Kinder verständlich und ansprechend ist. Ermutigung zu Selbstreflexion und Neugier: Regt junge Leser*innen ab 4 Jahren dazu an, über ihre eigenen Essgewohnheiten nachzudenken und sich auf das Abenteuer neuer Erfahrungen einzulassen. Einblick in kindliche Fantasiewelten: Neben der Auseinandersetzung mit dem Vegetarismus taucht das Buch tief in die kreative und fantasievolle Welt von Kindern ein. Humorvolle und lebensnahe Erzählweise: Mit viel Witz und Charme werden die kleinen und großen Fragen des Alltags aus der Sicht eines Kindes beleuchtet. Begleitender Podcast „Kinderkram“: Bietet zusätzliche Einblicke und vertieft die Themen des Buches auf unterhaltsame Weise.

October 2023Veganomics
The vegan revolution and its future markets
by Joël Luc Cachelin
— A practical guide on how an entirely vegan society can work — A thought-provoking utopia – exactly what we need right now — By the futurologist and founder of the Wissensfabrik ("Knowledge Factory") with a large network We're on an idyllic, albeit fictional, archipelago in the North Sea. Nobody keeps an animal against its will here, and no one sells the materials obtained from killing an animal. No animals are used in agriculture or for research, beauty and food industries. There are no zoos, and there's no animal testing. No one wears wool or leather. Vegania is entirely vegan. Now Karnivoria wants to follow suit, and asks Vegania for advice: how can an entirely different society work; how is it possible to move away from animal products, and how would this affect the catering and food industries and agriculture? An exciting scientific experiment that Joël Luc Cachelin underpins with linguistic sophistication and scientific expertise in this extraordinary book about the possibilities of a livestock-free society.

The food of the future
by Dr. Malte Rubach

It exposes the great promises of meat substitutes from the laboratory as well as vegan renunciation scenarios, and shows a realistic path for the future of global nutrition along the lines of the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

Food Myths and the Rapid Change of Food Culture
by Manfred Kriener
This book is not a manual but provides an information kit so we can find our way intelligently and make decisions. Nutrition is a constant talking point, but often there is a lack of knowledge and judgement. Amidst this confusion of facts, Manfred Kriener clarifies the rapid change of our food culture. He covers the entire range from the vegan trend to insect food, from aquaculture to cultured meat. Kriener also focuses on the various obscure quality seals, chaotic labelling on the wine rack and our inconsistency as consumers. The new world of food in eleven chapters, spicy at times, but plenty of food for thought and to whet the appetite.

January 2025Anders essen
Für unsere Welt, unser Klima und uns selbst
by Nils Binnberg
Sind Veganer tatsächlich die besseren Menschen, müssen Fleisch-Esser sich schämen? Wo endet das Recht auf Selbstentfaltung? Wo beginnt kollektive Verantwortung? Und: Können wir uns und das Klima überhaupt noch heilen? Nils Binnberg, der bekannte Journalist und Autor des Erfolgstitels Ich habe es satt!, entlarvt in Anders essen unsere Befindlichkeiten und gängigsten Mythen über den Zusammenhang von Klimawandel und Ernährung. Er untersucht, ob und inwiefern Tierhaltung in Bezug auf den CO2‑Fußabdruck unsere größte Sünde ist. Und erläutert, ob es tatsächlich eine Ernährungsformel gibt, die unseren Planeten retten kann. Der Autor hat bei Landwirten, Politikern, Ökonomen und Wissenschaftlern, aber auch in seinem persönlichen Umfeld recherchiert. Sein Buch ist eine faktenreiche, meinungsstarke Ermutigung, die Chancen zu ergreifen, die vor uns liegen. Denn jeder Einzelne von uns kann etwas tun – auch ohne seine individuellen Bedürfnisse aufgeben zu müssen!

April 2022Fritz, the Gorilla
Biography of a Fascinating Ape
by Jenny von Sperber
When Jenny von Sperber first met Fritz, the gorilla didn’t let her out of his sight. He was already over 50 years old then, but he was still extremely charismatic. One thing matters for the journalist: she wants to find out everything about Fritz’s life. Born in 1963, he was captured in the wild and came from Cameroon to Germany in 1966. At that time, apes were still regarded as a curiosity in zoos. When a ban was declared on the wild gorilla trade, Fritz was already a father of many youngsters. This fascinating gorilla-family saga not only recounts the eventful life of Fritz, but also shows the development in European zoos in handling wild animals. Nowadays, things have certainly improved. But there are still questions, for example, what does it do to us when we marvel at our closest relatives behind glass? And is it even still current to confine apes ... was it ever?

May 2024Fish in Distress
On the careful management of an endangered resource
by Manfred Kriener, Stefan Linzmaier
Consumers stand perplexed at the fish counter. Cod or salmon; mackerel or sea bass? Or perhaps rather carp and trout? How about flounder and dab? Dab what? A terrific flatfish, but sadly hardly anyone has heard of it. And what was it again about organic, aquaculture, wild-caught, and that little blue sustainability certificate? Is catching your own a way out? Before you start thinking it’s time to opt for a chop and fried potatoes instead, read this book. It provides readers with deep blue facts from the world’s waters and analyses the global and local habitat of the finned creature.

2023Drug Products in Nursing and Care Practice
Safe handling of medication
by Dr. Ulrich Räth and Friedhelm Kamann
The assessment of nursing and care needs and the organisation and quality assurance of nursing care are key tasks performed by nursing staff. This also includes administering medication, something which requires sound organisation, control, implementation and documentation. Nurses observe whether medication is taken consistently, has the desired effect, and whether undesirable side effects occur. The drug product as a „special commodity“ – whether in inpatient long-term care, in outpatient care, or in hospital – requires special knowledge concerning - correct storage, - the pharmacological effect, and - appropriate application. This book is geared towards the diseases and symptoms of people requiring nursing or care. All the important facts concerning the use of medicines are presented here in an understandable manner, focusing on the essentials. Numerous illustrations and practical tips provide the link to everyday nursing care. It is the ideal textbook and reference work for nursing and care assistants as well as nursing professionals.

Plays, playscriptsJanuary 2007Galatea and midas
John Lyly
by Edited by George Hunter and David Bevington
Galatea and Midas are two of John Lyly's most engaging plays. Lyly took up the story of two young women, Galatea (or Gallathea) and Phillida who are dressed up in male clothes by their fathers so that they can avoid the requirement of the god Neptune that every year 'the fairest and chastest virgin in all the country' be sacrificed to a sea-monster. Hiding together in the forest, the two maidens fall in love, each supposing the other to be a young man. Galatea has become the subject of considerable feminist critical study in recent years. Midas (1590) uses mythology in quite a different way, dramatising two stories about King Midas in such a way as to fashion a satire of King Philip of Spain (and of any tyrant like him) for colossal greediness and folly. In the wake of the defeat of Philip's Armada fleet and its attempted invasion of England in 1588, this satire was calculated to win the approval of Queen Elizabeth and her court.
