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.

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…

In the middle of our lives, the cards are reshuffled: marriages are divorced, careers are questioned, friendships are ended, questions of meaning are asked, bodies change - and not just hormonally. At the same time, children leave home and parents become carers. From the age of 45, the majority of our population is at the centre of a second upheaval that affects all facets of our lives and leaves us at a loss in many ways. Not only in our daily lives, but also when it comes to planning for our own old age. This guide is designed to help us find our way. It presents the most important information from all areas relevant to a good life after 45. Leading experts from the fields of medicine, nutrition, philosophy, theology, psychology, care, law and finance give recommendations on what to look out for and what tools are needed to get through these challenging years unscathed. Useful checklists round off the articles. The book shows us the unique opportunity to see these challenges not as a crisis but as a source of strength. Not only can we come through this period of our lives healthy and happy, but we can also shape it so that the next age threshold is no longer frightening. During the second phase of adolescence, we lay the foundations for whether and how we will grow older. Be it in terms of health or living together with family and friends. With contributions from: Prof. Dr. Martin Gessmann (philosophy), Dipl. Psych. Claudia Kühner (psychology), Dr Suso Lederle (medicine), Dr Petra Forster (nutrition), Christian Hald, Anja Heine (law), Prof Dr Philipp Schreiber (finance), Prof Dr Thomas Klie (nursing care insurance), Georg Eberhardt (religion).

When children are ill, there is often a lack of suitable proprietary medicines. With experience and expertise, pharmacies close this gap. In the process, they are often confronted with complex questions before preparing a medicine: Is the dosage right? Which dosage form will be accepted by the child? How do I process the active ingredient in a child-friendly way? Which excipients are suitable? Formularium paediatricum provides answers to these and numerous other questions: ■ 70 monographs on tested standard formulations describe the preparation process step-by-step and explain paediatric specifics in terms of formulation. ■ an annotated list of common paediatric excipients as well as comprehensive explanations for evaluating children‘s formulations help to assess unknown, non-standardised formulations. Whenever it is a case of extemporaneous medicines for children: the Formularium paediatricum assists in the preparation in the pharmacy to succeed safely and confidently.

The consistent and evidence-based development of Korean medicine in many clinical application areas has significantly improved its international status in recent years. The basis for this development is one of the most important medical books in Korea, the „Donguibogam“, a clinical lexicon of applications compiled about 400 years ago; at that time the traditional work also enjoyed the highest recognition in China. In 2009 it was included in the „Memory of the World“ register of UNESCO. Even now after 400 years, it still serves as a manual for writing prescriptions for many physicians in Korea, and testifies that the understanding of nature and human disease patterns is still current and clinically applicable even in the modern industrialised world. This work provides ■ understanding for Korean medicine, ■ many selected medicinal formulations and their fields of application, ■ the description and evaluation of important traditional single remedies, ■ the corresponding drug monographs with information on analytical testing

Die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Dritten Reich spielt in Alexander Kluges Werk eine wichtige Rolle. Die Judenvernichtung bildet dabei ein gravitatives Zentrum. Die Schwierigkeit, den Holocaust mit den Mitteln der Kunst zu erfassen, liegt aber darin, dass die klassische literarische Form – wie Adorno festgestellt hat – bei Auschwitz nicht greift. Umso wichtiger, dass man die Erfahrung der eigenen Zeit, der Jetzt-Zeit, immer wieder in diesen geschichtlichen Absturz hineinhält, sie darin »eicht«. Dauerhaft und beharrlich gilt es weiterzuerzählen: vom Versagen der Eliten, von der Rasanz eines behördlich organisierten bösen Willens, von der extremen Seltenheit der Rettung. »Wer ein Wort des Trostes spricht, ist ein Verräter« ist ein Buch über bittere Schicksale, bekannte und unbekannte, aber vor allem auch über Organisationsformen, die Menschen vernichten. Gewidmet sind die 48 Geschichten dem entschlossenen Kämpfer für Gerechtigkeit, Fritz Bauer, Generalstaatsanwalt des Landes Hessen während der Auschwitzprozesse.

How much CO₂ is emitted by one serving of spaghetti bolognese? About 1.5 kilograms! This example shows what the meat industry and food logistics mean for the eco-balance of our food. But is it enough to switch to meat-free and dairy-free alternatives or local specialities? Dr. Malte Rubach takes a closer look and reviews our food regime and its impact on our climate. We live in a society influenced by technology and the rising consumption of resources. Rubach argues for a sensible attitude to food and shows what we can still eat with a clear conscience.

Eine Studie in Scharlachrot erzählt von der ersten Begegnung zwischen Sherlock Holmes und Dr. Watson sowie ihrem ersten gemeinsamen Fall. Auf der Suche nach einer Unterkunft in London trifft Dr. Watson den „Beratenden Detektiv“ Sherlock Holmes, und sie beziehen gemeinsam eine Wohnung.

An der Wand des Zimmers steht, mit Blut geschrieben, das deutsche Wort „Rache“. Trotz vieler Ungereimtheiten kommt Sherlock Holmes dem Mörder schon bald auf die Spur…

Von der Feststellung ausgehend, daß eine normenbildende, maßstabsetzende Poetik nicht mehr existiere, zeichnet Grünbein seinen dichterischen Werdegang als »Skizze zu einer persönlichen Psychopoetik«. Es geht dabei um die Idee vom genauen Wort, das seine maximale Aufladung erst als Resultante der Lebenssituation, seiner Stellung im kompositorischen Ganzen des Gedichts sowie im Gesamtsystem aller Arbeiten eines Autors erfährt. Unter dem Leitwort »Poesie ist Subjektmagie als Sprachereignis« bietet der Dichter am Ende seiner Vorlesung zehn Thesen auf dem gegenwärtigen Stand einer voraussichtlich unabschließbaren Sinnfindung: nicht als Poetik und nicht als Manifest, nicht als Theorie oder Methode, sondern als eigensinnigen Modus operandi des Dichtens in nachmagischer Zeit.

Cannabis has been used as a drug since antiquity – but only recently has it progressed to become one of the most exciting medical-pharmaceutical topics of our times. In scarcely any other area of pharmacotherapy has the state of knowledge recently developed at comparable speed. Experts from a variety of fields are constantly working to generate new scientific evidence for the therapeutic use of cannabis and/or cannabinoids and to provide patients with quality-assured medicinal cannabis. This book is the first to give representatives of all relevant areas of expertise the chance to speak. Alongside medical-therapeutic aspects, they address such questions as cultivation, quality assurance, patient care practices and patient counselling. The result of this accumulated knowledge and skill is a unique overall picture that, for the first time, combines and consolidates the current legal and scientific framework of medicinal cannabis provision! All facts have been painstakingly researched and checked. The result is a scientifically valid work, which sets the standard. This excellent compendium is indispensable for everyone who comes into contact with cannabis for professional or personal reasons.

Child, nation, race and empire is an innovative, inter-disciplinary, cross cultural study that contributes to understandings of both contemporary child welfare practices and the complex dynamics of empire. It analyses the construction and transmission of nineteenth-century British child rescue ideology. Locating the origins of contemporary practice in the publications of the prominent English Child rescuers, Dr Barnardo, Thomas Bowman Stephenson, Benjamin Waugh, Edward de Montjoie Rudolf and their colonial disciples and literature written for children, it shows how the vulnerable body of the child at risk came to be reconstituted as central to the survival of nation, race and empire. Yet, as the shocking testimony before the many official enquiries into the past treatment of children in out-of-home 'care' held in Britain, Ireland, Australia and Canada make clear, there was no guarantee that the rescued child would be protected from further harm.

Indian mulberry, St. John’s wort, Hawaiian baby woodrose – whether disputed wonder drug, traditional medicinal plant or unknown exotic plant – the Lexicon of Medicinal Plants can always be relied upon. The lexical and classic knowledge about the individual medicinal plants – such as family, origin, use, effect and constituents – garnered over decades and peppered with particular anecdotes on the herbal drugs, can be regarded as unique and largely timeless. At the repeated request of readers, this reference work has therefore been reissued in book form, with its contents largely unchanged but with misprints corrected and its layout modernised. A wealth of experience that even in the fast-moving digital world preserves traditional knowledge.
