        Does Movement Really Make Us Smart?

        by Petra Jansen, Stefanie Richter

        Media reports often praise movement as a cure-all. But apart from its undisputed positive effect on health, does movement really make us smarter? Consider a national football team, for example – are these excessively sports-driven players automatically the smartest people? Should we simply replace all school subjects with sports? The authors provide a detailed summary of the latest scientific findings on the influence of movement on cognitive ability. They describe the effects of movement, on old age, embodiment, emotion, school as well as other factors that influence cognition. Target Group: teachers, lecturers, psychologists, psychiatrists, neurologists, psychotherapists, movement therapists.

        Amanda Gorman

        Little People, Big Dreams. Deutsche Ausgabe | Kinderbuch ab 4 Jahre

        by María Isabel Sánchez Vegara, Queenbe Monyei, Silke Kleemann

        Schon als kleines Mädchen las Amanda alles, was ihr in die Finger kam, ob es nun ein Buch oder die Werbung auf der Cornflakes-Packung war. Da sie an einem Sprachfehler litt, schrieb sie ihre Gedanken lieber auf. Schon früh stand für sie fest: sie wollte Dichterin werden. Aber wie hätte sie ihre Gedichte vorlesen können, mit ihrem Handicap? Durch harte Arbeit überwand sie ihr Stottern, und im Januar 2021 trug sie bei der Amtseinführung von Präsident Joe Biden ihr weltberühmt gewordenes Gedicht »The Hill We Climb« vor, eine einzigartige Botschaft der Hoffnung und Zuversicht auf eine bessere Zukunft für Amerika – und die Welt. Little People, Big Dreams erzählt von den beeindruckenden Lebensgeschichten großer Menschen: Jede dieser Persönlichkeiten, ob Künstlerin, Pilotin oder Wissenschaftler, hat Unvorstellbares erreicht. Dabei begann alles, als sie noch klein waren: mit großen Träumen.

        Five Elizabethan progress entertainments

        by Leah Scragg, Paul Edmondson

        Designed to introduce the student or general reader to a largely unfamiliar area of Elizabethan theatrical activity, Five Elizabethan progress entertainments focuses on a group of entertainments mounted for the monarch in the closing years of her reign. Richly annotated, and prefaced by a substantial introduction, the texts enable an understanding of the motives underlying not only the progress itself, but the choice of locations the monarch elected to visit and the personal and political preoccupations of those with whom she determined to stay. Selected for their diversity, the entertainments exhibit the tensions underlying some royal visits, the lavish expenditure entailed for the monarch's hosts and the overlap in terms of both material and authorship between the progress entertainments and the more widely studied products of the sixteenth-century stage.

        How to Build and Promote Social Competence

        by Stenzel, Nikola M.; de Veer, Anna-Maria

        Every person depends on communication with other people in everyday life. There is hardly any area of life that is not co-determined by interaction with others. The ability to shape relationships positively in the long term while achieving individualgoals plays a central role in human well-being. Accordingly, the promotion of social competence plays an important role in many psychotherapeutic contexts. This book provides information on scientifically established interventions as well as innovative concepts for building social competence. A practice-oriented guide primarily addresses the special therapeutic challenges that arise in the individual therapy setting for an interactive procedure such as social skills training: e.g., the practical implementation of role-playing and the difficulties that arise due to the dual role of “therapist - role-playing partner.” In addition, group therapy interventions are also described and numerous working materials are presented to support the implementation of the procedurein clinical practice. Target group: • medical and psychological psychotherapists• specialists working in psychiatry, psychotherapy,or psychosomatic medicine• clinical psychologists• training candidates (psychologists, physicians)in psychotherapy• lecturers of training courses and institutes forpsychotherapy

        »Was ist ein Einbruch in eine Bank gegen die Gründung einer Bank?«

        Das Brecht-Brevier zur Wirtschaftskrise

        by Bertolt Brecht, Tom Kindt

        Sieben Jahre Wirtschaftskrise. Sieben Jahre Beruhigungsrhetorik und Durchhalteparolen aus Politik, Wissenschaft und Wirtschaft. Höchste Zeit für einen neuen Blick auf die Erschütterungen, die Banken und Börsen, Währungen und Gesellschaften seit 2008 an den Rand des Abgrunds drängen. »Was ist ein Einbruch in eine Bank gegen die Gründung einer Bank?« zeigt, dass Bertolt Brechts Werk einen solchen Blick auf die Wirtschaftskrise bereithält. In sechs Lektionen versammelt das Brevier literarische, aphoristische und publizistische Texte Brechts, die – obgleich vor mehr als einem halben Jahrhundert entstanden – wie Analysen und Kommentare zu den ökonomischen Turbulenzen der Gegenwart erscheinen.

        Defeated flesh

        Welfare, warfare and the making of modern France

        by Bertrand Taithe

        Defeated flesh dwells on the French defeat of 1870 and the socialist uprising of the Commune of Paris.. This is one of the first books to develop an in-depth, comparative analysis of the Franco-Prussian war and the Commune.. By looking at the history of the body and medicine it considers how the French people mobilised for the war effort and how their ultimate defeat had cultural and social consequences which led to the fin-de-siècle spirit.. Looking at the siege of Paris, the war suffering and rationing in an exceptionally harsh period of French history it revises the current debates on citizenship, centralisation and modern warfare.. Looking at many untouched sources, Taithe seeks to understand why 1870-1871 became such an important phase in the making of modern France. ;
