2022A Healthy Pregnancy with Selected (Micro)Nutrients
by Uwe Gröber
Adequate nutrition and a healthy lifestyle – before and during pregnancy - are of great importance for a trouble-free pregnancy, birth, and the subsequent development of the child. Since the nutritional status before the onset of pregnancy influences both fertility and the course of pregnancy, including complications, the birth and breastfeeding, close attention should be paid to a healthy diet and adequate supply of essential (micro)nutrients well in advance and not only at the family planning stage. Poor micronutrient status prior to conception is often carried over into pregnancy, and can significantly increase the risk of pregnancy complications and, for example, lead to the dreaded spina bifida in the child. This patient guide tells you what you need to know! Various micronutrients are described in detail. Special emphasis is placed on the latest study results concerning pregnancy and nutrition.

2023Drug Products in Nursing and Care Practice
Safe handling of medication
by Dr. Ulrich Räth and Friedhelm Kamann
The assessment of nursing and care needs and the organisation and quality assurance of nursing care are key tasks performed by nursing staff. This also includes administering medication, something which requires sound organisation, control, implementation and documentation. Nurses observe whether medication is taken consistently, has the desired effect, and whether undesirable side effects occur. The drug product as a „special commodity“ – whether in inpatient long-term care, in outpatient care, or in hospital – requires special knowledge concerning - correct storage, - the pharmacological effect, and - appropriate application. This book is geared towards the diseases and symptoms of people requiring nursing or care. All the important facts concerning the use of medicines are presented here in an understandable manner, focusing on the essentials. Numerous illustrations and practical tips provide the link to everyday nursing care. It is the ideal textbook and reference work for nursing and care assistants as well as nursing professionals.

October 2007Frauen morden anders
Die spannendsten Kriminalgeschichten
by Carolin Bunk, Hans Sarkowicz
Frauen morden anders. Raffinierter, intelligenter und überraschender. Das wissen wir aus den Erzählungen von Krimiautorinnen. Mit großkalibrigen Waffen und tödlichen Schlägereien haben Frauen nichts im Sinn. Sie nutzen geschickt die Schwächen ihrer Opfer, vermeiden verräterische Spuren und machen selten Fehler. Männliche Ermittler sind ihnen nicht gewachsen. Und gäbe es den Kommissar Zufall nicht, würde kaum eine von ihnen hinter Gittern landen. Die spannendsten Geschichten von mörderischen Frauen im Literaturkanal der Bahn. Zu hören im November im ICE, zu lesen im insel taschenbuch.

September 2008Tödliches Eis
Kriminalgeschichten aus Skandinavien
by Carolin Bunk, Hans Sarkowicz
Mord, das wissen die Krimiexperten, ist im Norden Europas eine besondere Kunst. Alle Mittel sind recht, um langwierige Beziehungsdramen abzukürzen oder den Austausch von Wertgegenständen zu beschleunigen. Das jedenfalls behaupten die skandinavischen Krimiautoren, die bei der Erfindung von raffinierten Todesarten kaum zu schlagen sind. Und noch etwas gehört zu den Spezialitäten ihrer Erzählungen: Es ist selten etwas wirklich so, wie es auf den ersten Blick erscheint. Mit Texten von Henning Mankell, Åke Edwardson, Håkan Nesser, Arne Dahl, Kim Småge u.v.a. Zu hören im Oktober 2008 im Literaturkanal des ICE, zu lesen im insel taschenbuch. Ab November 2008 als Hörbuch im Hörverlag erhältlich.

May 2024Get Out of the Nursing Crisis!
New concepts between profession and solidarity

The issue of who is going to care for Germany's elderly and sick in the future, and how and where they are going to do so, is completely open. One thing is certain: caring won’t work at all without the “joint commitment of everyone”. Thomas Klie, an expert in this fi eld, identifi es and analyses the dilemmas of the care industry. Above all, though, he and other experts present ideas and perspectives for the future – and in doing so challenge the hitherto half-hearted to lurching care policy.

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2017Travellers in Africa
British travelogues, 1850-1900
by Timothy Youngs
Works of travel have been the subject of increasingly sophisticated studies in recent years. This book undermines the conviction with which nineteenth-century British writers talked about darkest Africa. It places the works of travel within the rapidly developing dynamic of Victorian imperialism. Images of Abyssinia and the means of communicating those images changed in response to social developments in Britain. As bourgeois values became increasingly important in the nineteenth century and technology advanced, the distance between the consumer and the product were justified by the scorn of African ways of eating. The book argues that the ambiguities and ambivalence of the travellers are revealed in their relation to a range of objects and commodities mentioned in narratives. For instance, beads occupy the dual role of currency and commodity. The book deals with Henry Morton Stanley's expedition to relieve Emin Pasha, and attempts to prove that racial representations are in large part determined by the cultural conditions of the traveller's society. By looking at Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, it argues that the text is best read as what it purports to be: a kind of travel narrative. Only when it is seen as such and is regarded in the context of the fin de siecle can one begin to appreciate both the extent and the limitations of Conrad's innovativeness.
