Our passion is to show kids, how colourful and fascinating the world is. There is not only one way to live but so many. We love curious children and we do the books they need to explore the world. So we do travel books for kids and novels for the journey in a hammock.

Uncertainty manifests itself in local and everyday life contexts, but also in the global biodiversity, the coronavirus pandemic and climate crises as well as the wars of these days. Since nothing seems to be as certain as uncertainty anymore, it is about to become the defining phenomenon of our time. In this context, uncertainty and insecurity also frequently occur in connection with acute and chronic health situations. The authors define and differentiate the concepts of uncertainty, insecurity and risk and illuminate their facets from a nursing, medical, sociological, psychological, and theological perspective.

In times of the coronavirus pandemic many people have certainly condemned them, but Professor Ernst-Ludwig Winnacker has dedicated his life to researching them and is intrigued by viruses – even if sometimes he is keenly aware of their fatal effects. To mark his 80th birthday the biochemist describes the co-evolution and co-existence as well as the eternal ‘battle’ between humans and viruses. Winnacker takes up the cause of these ‘biological elements between animate and inanimate nature’ because they play an important role in fundamental research and genetic technology, and without them human beings would not be what they are.

Chaos flourishes beneath the surface – a deep fissure runs through our society Inside the pressure-cooker of the coronavirus pandemic, we see more clearly the volatile status of how we live together. Why were we unprepared, in spite of the numerous warnings over the years? Jean-Pierre Wils speculates that our society, which is already marked by tension and hectic stalemate, is riven by a deep division. In this case, the reality of the crisis triggered by the pandemic is only the prelude to a much deeper crisis: climate change. But how can we manage it? To do so Wils advocates for a “culture of interim solutions” – a culture of thoughtfulness, soul-searching, slowing down and reorienting towards social and ecological sustainability ...

"Rescue” has two fundamentally different “existential” dimensions. One is aimed at “saving” individual lives that are in danger. Firefighters, for instance, rescue people from fires, while the sea rescue services rescue shipwrecked people from the Mediterranean. The second dimension of “rescue”, on the other hand, concerns systems – think of the bailing out of banks, the euro or the climate disaster – and so points to a larger context that creates the conditions for “life” to even be possible, or at least to be preserved. The complex subject of this stringent essay is just to what extent politics enable or prevent “rescue attempts”, to what extent it understands its actions as “rescue actions”, and how decisively the “narrative”, i.e. the “talk of rescue”, ultimately dominates our entire understanding of politics.
