        I love you…

        by Julien Tănase

        The book "I Love You..." is part of the trilogy..., "I love you, till death..." and "I love you, as long as my heart beats”, autobiographical love novels which include chapters from life in a couple of the writer Julien Tănase and his wife, Magdi, with whom he has been in a relationship for 30 years, all against the background of the events that Romania has gone through in recent decades, after the Revolution of '89. A trilogy about the endurance over time of a young couple in love, who have gone through events that are out of touch with reality in Romania where sleeping with a gun under the pillow, the fear of having their child kidnapped, and even the "wars" waged against the corruption of magistrates, politicians and the information systems of a civil society gripped by the widespread corruption in Romania, including the lawsuit invented by the DNA (National Anticorruption Directorate) to stop his work as a journalist and finally won by the writer, makes the autobiography of writer Julien Tănase a fascinating one that leaves you with a bitter taste in your mouth and a big question mark; ... "such things have happened and continue to happen in Romania"?... The writer Julien Tănase: "A friend in the Italian Police told me, and I quote him: "... if you had done in Italy what you did for your country, today a street would bear your name! But you had been dead!"

        Why headless males are better lovers

        Sex and reproduction in the animal kingdom

        by Monika Niehaus / Michael Wink

        "Sex sells" also applies to evolution. Without sex, there is no genetic variation, and without genetic variation, there is no natural selection and evolution. When it comes to sex and reproduction, all animals have things in common, but there are also many variations. In this game of the sexes, everything revolves around the conflicts of interest between females and males, the diversity of mating systems, matriarchal and patriarchal communities and the securing of paternity, whether through beauty, song and dance or violence.

        Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda, or Not the Miracle of Bern

        What if everything had been different in German football

        by Jörg Heinrich

        “Well, that’s football for you!” – football-related conventional wisdom when there’s nothing left to explain after a lucky win or unlucky defeat. But Jörg Heinrich, the renowned football journalist, is not satisfied with this platitude. “Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda”: in the 25 essays in this ball-smart book, bursting with esprit and wit, Jörg Heinrich addresses questions and topics that have never even been considered before, never mind answered. Such as: “What if Günter Netzer had not come on as a substitute in 1973?”, or “if Birgit Prinz had aimed better in the 1995 World Cup?”. “What if Mario Basler had been a non-smoker in 1999”, or “if SC Freiburg had fired their coach Christian Streich after relegation in 2015?”.

        Future on site

        by Dr. S. Werner and T. König

        Make it simple! The pharmacy can do more than just provide medicines. In this book, two smart authors show what ideas are out there for pharmacy services and how they can be offered. This involves much more than just the pharmaceutical services that are paid for. Digitalisation makes many things possible. Optimised operational processes, broad knowledge and skills become further services that offer good opportunities for the on-site pharmacy. Here you can read about • what contemporary services are available, how they can be introduced, and what they should cost, • why telemedicine and appointment booking software can be helpful strategies, and • how pharmacies can effectively counter the mail-order trade. From the content: pharmaceutical counselling in and outside the pharmacy on health topics, prevention and medicinal products, services for specific target groups, distributing and blistering, vaccination, determination of physiological values and much more.
