        WE BELIEVE THAT THE GOOD TRIUMPHS Where did the idea to make children’s educational tales that are different from the rest come from? One day, we decided to create a character who would be loved by thousands of children. We looked at our youngest and realised how much depends on us, adults.   It dawned on us that if we bring up our children to become good and noble people, there is a big chance that they will do the same in the future. They will pass the love they got from us on to their children, who will then do the same, and so on…

        Klar, dass Mama Ole lieber hat / Klar, dass Mama Anna lieber hat

        by Kirsten Boie, Silke Brix

        "Klar, dass Mama Anna/Ole lieber hat" von Kirsten Boie beleuchtet humorvoll und einfühlsam die alltäglichen Streitigkeiten und Rivalitäten zwischen Geschwistern aus beiden Perspektiven. Anna, fast sieben Jahre alt und Erstklässlerin, ist genervt von ihrem kleinen Bruder Ole, der noch nicht einmal vier ist und gerade erst in den Kindergarten gekommen ist. Sie empfindet ihn als ständige Quelle der Irritation, sei es durch das Essen ihrer Schokolade aus dem Adventskalender oder sein Drängen, bei ihren Spielen mitmachen zu dürfen, wobei sie glaubt, dass ihre Mutter stets Oles Seite ergreift. Ole hingegen fühlt sich von Anna ausgeschlossen, bekommt nie etwas von ihren Süßigkeiten ab und wird von der Mutter geschimpft, wenn er aus Frustration handgreiflich wird, sodass er überzeugt ist, dass seine Mutter Anna bevorzugt. Trotz dieser Konflikte zeigt Boie, dass Geschwister in Momenten der Angst und Unsicherheit auch Trost und Sicherheit im Beisammensein finden können, etwa wenn in der Dunkelheit "gefährliche Räuber" lauern, was die komplexe und letztlich liebevolle Beziehung zwischen Geschwistern unterstreicht. Fängt die realistischen Spannungen und Rivalitäten zwischen Geschwistern ein, wodurch es sich besonders für Familien mit mehreren Kindern eignet. Kirsten Boie beschreibt mit Humor und Verständnis die täglichen Herausforderungen im Geschwisteralltag, was das Buch sowohl amüsant als auch lehrreich macht. Beleuchtet die Geschichte aus beiden Blickwinkeln der Geschwister, wodurch Kinder lernen, Empathie für die Gefühle und Sichtweisen anderer zu entwickeln. Ideal für Geschwisterkinder, um Eifersucht zu thematisieren und den Liebesverlust der Eltern aus verschiedenen Perspektiven zu verstehen. Auch nach mehrmaligem Vorlesen bleibt die Geschichte interessant für Kinder und Erwachsene, dank der lebhaften Sprache und der detailreichen Handlungen. Für Kinder ab 4 Jahren ansprechend illustriert von Silke Brix.

        At the Very Bottom of the System

        How migrant workers ensure prosperity for us

        by Sascha Lübbe

        The author reveals structural problems and offers solutions – an urgently necessary book, not least with a view to the acute shortage of skilled workers 450,000 migrant workers toll on German construction sites, work in sometimes inhumane conditions in meat factories or as truck drivers, and let’s not forget the hordes of cleaners in German hotels and companies. They are systematically exploited and cheated out of their wages. Sascha Lübbe exposes the octopus-like network of partly criminal companies in a shadowy world where the boundary between the legal and the illegal is blurred. In his evocative book with interviews with those aff ected, he reveals how a parallel system has established itself in the German working world, but also how those affected resist.

        Working–class suburb

        Social change on an English council estate, 1930–2010

        by Mark Clapson

        Not all council estates are the same. A detailed historical account of the birth and social evolution of the Whitley council estate in Reading, Working-Class Suburb challenges many of the more depressing images and cultural stereotypes about council housing in twentieth and twenty-first century England. Key areas covered by the study are housing and politics; community campaigns; women and the corporate life of council estates; the uses of leisure; the relationships between tenants, residents and the local authority, and continuities in working-class life despite economic, demographic and political change. The book will be of interest to anyone studying urban history and social history, to professionals working in the fields of housing policy and housing studies, and to the growing number of academics interested in suburban studies. ;

        Unburied

        The true story of Hannah Beswick, the Manchester Mummy

        by Hannah Priest

        The macabre tale of an eighteenth-century woman immortalised in folklore as the 'Manchester Mummy'. In 1835, the Manchester Natural History Society opened the doors of its museum. Taking pride of place in its collection were three mummies: one was Egyptian, one was Peruvian and one was a woman from Cheetham Hill. This is the first time the true story of Hannah Beswick, the so-called 'Manchester Mummy', has been told. Over the years, explanations for the Manchester Mummy have ranged from the chilling - Hannah's fear of being buried alive - to the downright bizarre - the legend of her buried gold - but the truth is more complex. Exploring this fascinating episode from museum history, Unburied sheds light on the Victorian turn to the macabre and changing attitudes to the display of human remains. It debunks the legends and asks what Hannah Beswick can tell us about death and dying, mummies and museums.

        The Pianoplayers

        by Anthony Burgess

        by Will Carr, Paul Wake, Andrew Biswell

        This novel is one of Anthony Burgess's most accessible and entertaining works. By turns bawdy, raucous, tender and bittersweet, and full of music and songs, this is a warm and affectionate portrait of the working-class Lancashire of the 1920s and 1930s that he knew from his own early life. The Pianoplayers is a funny, moving, autobiographical novel that brings to life the world of silent cinemas and music-halls of 1920s Manchester and Blackpool. Fully annotated and with a new introduction, this is an authoritative text for a new generation of readers. Part of the forthcoming Irwell Edition of the Works of Anthony Burgess, this book offers an opportunity to reappraise an unjustly neglected novel important to our understanding of Burgess's wider oeuvre. The 2017 Burgess centenary makes this a key moment for reflection on the life and work of a major figure in twentieth century letters.

        Inquiry Based Stress Reduction (IBSR) in Practice - How to Use “the Work” of Byron Katie in Psychotherapy and Coaching.

        Manual for Clinical Practice

        by Marie Odiel van Rhijn, Esther Leuning

        Inquiry Based Stress Reduction is the name of the method which was developed by Byron Katie as ‘the Work’. Byron Katie is the author of very well-known self-help books. However, until now there was no manual available which explains the application of this method and the methodological and scientific evidence which can be given to support it. This book provides a comprehensive and exhaustive overview of how the method can be used by therapists in psychotherapeutic settings in mental health care, business coaches and coaches in other fields of life. As well as providing an extremely precise description of the working method for each step of the protocol, all these steps are clarified by means of practical examples and case studies. Target Group: psychologists, therapists and coaches.

        "I am Jugoslovenka!"

        Feminist performance politics during and after Yugoslav Socialism

        by Jasmina Tumbas, Amelia Jones, Marsha Meskimmon

        "I am Jugoslovenka" argues that queer-feminist artistic and political resistance were paradoxically enabled by socialist Yugoslavia's unique history of patriarchy and women's emancipation. Spanning performance and conceptual art, video works, film and pop music, lesbian activism and press photos of female snipers in the Yugoslav wars, the book analyses feminist resistance in a range of performative actions that manifest the radical embodiment of Yugoslavia's anti-fascist, transnational and feminist legacies. It covers celebrated and lesser-known artists from the 1970s to today, including Marina Abramovic, Sanja Ivekovic, Vlasta Delimar, Tanja Ostojic, Selma Selman and Helena Janecic, along with music legends Lepa Brena and Esma Redzepova. "I am Jugoslovenka" tells a unique story of women's resistance through the intersection of feminism, socialism and nationalism in East European visual culture.
