Every story describes a wish that Tyler makes, the steps he takes to obtain it, and the reason why he gladly grants it to a dear one. In "Tyler's Promised Gift" Tyler works hard to obey his mother's commands in anticipation of receiving his promised 'little red car". At his birthday party he offers the car to a younger, sad, and crying guest. In "Tyler's Baby Sister" Tyler tries to get his mother to focus her attention again on him instead of on his baby sister, Tia. Tyler finally realizes that helping his mother to give more care to Tia gave him the most satisfaction. In "Tyler's Acting Practice" Tyler spends hours perfecting his aim when using a slingshot. When he was finally ready to play the part of David in the school play "David and Goliath", he noticed that his friend Joel, who was new to the school this year, was being bullied and excluded from all games because he was missing the net whenever he tried to shoot a basketball. Heroically, Tyler offers the role of David to Joel when he learns that Joel excels at aiming pebbles with his slingshot. His plan to reverse the students' disrespect towards Joel succeeded when everyone in the school auditorium cheered Joel for his perfect aim at the helmet of Goliath. In "Tyler's Lunchbox Treat", Tyler could hardly wait for lunch break to bite into the krispy marshmallow treat his mother had baked for him. When Tyler discovers that the sandwich of his lunch companion was missing, and that he couldn't share his peanut butter sandwich with him because his companion was allergic to peanuts, Tyler gives him his krispy marshmallow square. Tyler always feels like a winner at the end, and not at all a loser. Children and parents are happy to arrive at the ending of each story.

2020Nutritional Practice Infants, Children, Adolescents
Concise advisory knowledge
by Dr. Ute Alexy, Dr. Annett Hilbig and Frauke Lang. Edited by Prof. Dr. Martin Smollich
Anyone giving responsible advice about questions on nutrition must have sound expert knowledge. This must not only be scientifically reliable, but must at the same time be relevant and practicable in the individual context. The concept behind the book series Nutritional Practice is to provide the necessary translation of current research results and guidelines into recommendations suitable for everyday use. In accordance with this consistent, practical approach, the focus is on the individual person in his or her particular stage in their life. The present volume is based on the various stages in life between infancy and adolescence. It therefore covers all questions about nutrition in health and disease from the first day of life to young adulthood

2021Nutritional Practice Elderly People
Concise advisory knowledge
by Prof. Dr. Martin Smollich (ed.)
The physiology and living conditions of people change as they grow old, whereas it is often more difficult to adapt eating habits to the new requirements. Psychological aspects come to the fore. The challenge for giving specific nutritional advice is therefore particularly great. This volume in the book series Nutritional Practice provides all the information needed for the competent care of elderly people. It deals with general aspects of nutrition in old age, as well as specific nutritional situations such as poor diet, dehydration, chewing and swallowing problems, dementia, mobility, oral and food hygiene or nutrition at the end of life. A further section is concerned with communal catering.

Business, Economics & LawOctober 2004Qualities of food
by Mark Harvey, Andrew McMeekin, Alan Warde
In this book, the complexity and the significance of the foods we eat are analysed from a variety of perspectives, by sociologists, economists, geographers and anthropologists. Chapters address a number of intriguing questions: how do people make judgments about taste? How do such judgments come to be shared by groups of people?; what social and organisational processes result in foods being certified as of decent or proper quality? How has dissatisfaction with the food system been expressed? What alternatives are thought to be possible? The multi-disciplinary analysis of this book explores many different answers to such questions. The first part of the book focuses on theoretical and conceptual issues, the second part considers processes of formal and informal regulation, while the third part examines social and political responses to industrialised food production and mass consumption. Qualities of food will be of interest to researchers and students in all the social science disciplines that are concerned with food, whether marketing, sociology, cultural studies, anthropology, human nutrition or economics.

by Jette Menger, Moon Notes
In "Know you again" kehrt Kian aus Sydney in seine Heimatstadt Bath zurück, getrieben von dem Wunsch, sein altes Leben hinter sich zu lassen und neu zu beginnen, insbesondere mit June, seiner Jugendliebe. Doch schnell wird ihm bewusst, dass die Schatten der Vergangenheit ihn einholen und eine Flucht unmöglich ist. Vor allem, weil er merkt, dass June, trotz ihrer tiefen Verbindung, ihre eigenen Geheimnisse hat und er sich ihr gegenüber nicht verschließen darf. Die Dynamik zwischen den beiden ist geprägt von Missverständnissen, dem Versuch, einander wieder wirklich zu verstehen, und der schmerzhaften Erkenntnis, dass Liebe allein nicht ausreicht, um die Wunden der Vergangenheit zu heilen. Der Roman taucht tief in die emotionalen Turbulenzen ein, die Kian und June durchleben, als sie versuchen, ihre Beziehung inmitten persönlicher Dämonen und externer Einflüsse neu zu definieren. Kian erkennt, dass seine Liebe zu June stärker ist als sein Bedürfnis nach Ruhm und Anerkennung, und dass wahre Zufriedenheit nur gefunden werden kann, wenn man sich seinen Ängsten stellt und echte Offenheit und Vertrauen in der Beziehung zulässt. "Know you again" ist eine Geschichte über den Mut, sich seinen dunkelsten Erinnerungen zu stellen, die Bedeutung von Vergebung und die unerschütterliche Kraft der Liebe, die selbst die tiefsten Gräben überbrücken kann. Emotionale Fortsetzung der Geschichte von Kian und June, erzählt aus Kians Perspektive, die tiefe Einblicke in seine Vergangenheit und die Herausforderungen bietet, denen er sich stellen muss, um seine Beziehung zu June zu bewahren. Die Dynamik zwischen den Charakteren offenbart eine authentische Auseinandersetzung mit der Vergangenheit, die Leser*innen auf eine Reise der Selbstfindung und der Wiederentdeckung alter Bande mitnimmt. Perfekt geeignet für Fans von New Adult-Romanen und romantischen Dramen. Kians Konflikt zwischen Liebe und Ruhm wird meisterhaft dargestellt, indem seine innere Zerrissenheit beleuchtet wird, was die Geschichte für Leser*innen, die sich für die komplexen Entscheidungen im Leben interessieren, umso faszinierender macht. Eine packende Reise nach Sydney bringt nicht nur Wendungen und Geheimnisse ans Licht, sondern auch dramatische Ereignisse, die die Beziehung zwischen June und Kian auf die Probe stellen. Emotionale Tiefe und Authentizität der Charaktere und ihrer Beziehungen fesseln Leser*innen von der ersten bis zur letzten Seite. Neue, überraschende Elemente, die die Handlung bereichern und gleichzeitig zum Nachdenken über wichtige Lebensfragen anregen, machen "Know You Again" zu einem Muss für Fans emotionaler Liebesgeschichten. Spannende Erkundung der Themen Selbstfindung und Überwindung von Lebenshürden, was dem Buch eine zusätzliche Ebene verleiht und es zu einer inspirierenden Lektüre für alle macht, die sich für Geschichten über persönliches Wachstum und die Kraft der Liebe interessieren.
