by Imi Sde-Or y el Instructor principal Eyal Yanilov
Krav Magá: Cómo defenderse contra ataques físicos por el Gran maestro Imi Sde-Or y el Instructor principal Eyal Yanilov En 2009 se publicarán dos volúmenes de próxima aparición en esta serie de superventas, titulados Krav Magá, basada en el famoso método israelí de combate sin armas, que se centra ahora en cómo defenderse contra un ataque sin armas, como por ejemplo, todo tipo de golpes y puntapiés, calces, cogeduras, etc. Krav Magá, desarrollado desde la década de 1930 por el Gran maestro Imi Sde-Or (Lichtenfeld), era antes un método de combate cuerpo a cuerpo estrictamente limitado a agentes de seguridad y a miembros del Mossad y de unidades de comando del ejército israelí. El método ha sido adaptado para civiles, de modo que cualquier persona de cualquier edad, sexo o capacidad física pueda utilizarlo. Esta disciplina, basada en reacciones naturales del cuerpo humano, es fácil de aprender y de ejecutar y es de uso práctico. Krav Magá goza actualmente de una popularidad creciente y de una cada vez mayor aceptación por parte de expertos de todo el mundo. En Estados Unidos y en varios países de Europa, este singular método de autodefensa ya se enseña y se utiliza tanto por parte de diversos organismos de seguridad como del ciudadano de a pie. Krav Magá: Cómo defenderse contra ataques físicos escrito por Imi Sde-Or y su principal discípulo Eyal Yanilov como parte de la serie del fundador, es el primero de dos volúmenes que presentan los principios clave y los métodos de entrenamiento para el combate sin armas. El libro, diseñado en un formato accesible y escalonado, cubre los fundamentos, desde seguridad en el entrenamiento, calentamiento, estiramiento y flexibilidad, hasta principios de ataques, posturas y posiciones iniciales. Los autores ofrecen estrategias para todo marco hipotético imaginable: puñetazos y puntapiés como medio de defensa, liberarse de calces, llaves de cabeza y llave nelson, agarres, puñetazos, derribamientos, etc. El libro, que también hace hincapié en los fundamentos psicológicos de la disciplina, amplía su utilidad con secciones sobre entrenamiento mental, puntos vulnerables, atacantes múltiples y autodefensa para mujeres.Acerca de los autoresEyal Yanilov comenzó a los 15 años a entrenarse en Krav Magá con el Gran maestro Imi Sde-Or. Yanilov fue la primera persona que comenzó a entrenar a instructores de Krav Magá fuera de Israel y ha enseñado a unidades especiales, a militares y a civiles en más de 18 países. El Gran maestro Imi Sde-Or, fundador de Krav Magá, falleció en 1998 a los 88 años. Se prevé la publicación de una versión en inglés americano en el verano de 2010. Cada volumen contiene 240 páginas, y en ambos más de 800 fotos e ilustraciones en blanco y negro; 16,5 x 24 cm.

Humanities & Social SciencesAugust 2012Justifying violence
Communicative ethics and the use of force in Kosovo
by Naomi Head, Peter Lawler, Emmanuel Pierre Guittet
When is the use of force for humanitarian purposes legitimate? The book examines this question through one of the most controversial examples of humanitarian intervention in the post Cold War period: the 1999 NATO intervention in Kosovo. Justifying Violence applies a critical theoretical approach to an interrogation of the communicative practices which underpin claims to legitimacy for the use of force by actors in international politics. Drawing on the theory of communicative ethics, the book develops an innovative conceptual framework which contributes a critical communicative dimension to the question of legitimacy that extends beyond the moral and legal approaches so often applied to the intervention in Kosovo. The empirical application of communicative ethics offers a provocative and nuanced account which contests conventional interpretations of the legitimacy of NATO's intervention. ;

Krav Maga: How to Defend Yourself against Physical Attack
by Grandmaster Imi Sde-Or (Lichtenfeld) & Chief Instructor Eyal Yanilov
Krav Maga, developed by Grandmaster Imi Sde-Or (Lichtenfeld) since the 1930s, was once a method of hand-to-hand combat strictly confined to security agents and members of the MOSSAD and elite IDF units. The method has been adapted for civilians so that anyone, of any age, sex, or physical ability, can utilize it. Based on natural reactions of the human body, the discipline is easy to learn and perform, and practical to use. Krav Maga has rapidly gained in popularity and earned recognition by experts the world over. In the US, South America, Europe, Australia, and the Far East, this unique self-defense method has already been taught to and used by official law enforcement agencies, as well as many ordinary citizens. Written by Imi Sde-Or and his senior disciple Eyal Yanilov as part of the Founder’s Series, Krav Maga: How to Defend Yourself Against Physical Attack is the first of two volumes presenting the key principles and training methods for unarmed combat. Laid out an accessible, step-by-step format, the book covers the basics, from safety in training, warm-up, stretching, and flexibility to principles of attacks, stances, and starting positions. The authors offer strategies for every imaginable scenario: defending punches and kicks, releases from chokes, headlock and nelson, grabs, punches, throws, and more. Also emphasizing the psychological underpinnings of the discipline, the book expands its usefulness with sections on mental training, vulnerable points, multiple attackers, and women’s self-defense. About the Authors Eyal Yanilov began training in Krav Maga with Grandmaster Imi Sde-Or when he was 15. Yanilov was the first person to begin training Krav Maga instructors outside of Israel, and he has taught special units, the military, and civilians in over 18 countries. Grandmaster Imi Sde-Or, Founder of Krav Maga, passed away in 1998 at age 88. An English-language North-American edition has been scheduled for publication in Fall 2024. Each volume contains 240 pages, altogether 800-plus b/w photos & illustrations; 16.5 x 24 cm

Early learning / early learning conceptsOctober 2017Una cabeza distinta (A different head)
by Luis Panini, Chiara Carrer
This child tells us that he is not happy with the head that he has. He thinks it is a wrong head. The parents, after listening to him, take him to a specialist, who agrees with the little one. A mysterious man dressed in black supplies him with heads in exchange for his own. The child tries several, until he finds the one he was looking for. A reindeer head, a crocodile head, a whisk head: the narrator child and protagonist of this story tells us about his disagreement with the head he has and the vicissitudes that he has to go through to find the head with which he will finally agree: the head of a grown man, of a mathematician. This is a story of search for identity and growth, developed with fine fantasy and humor, with the wisdom of someone he has sought and perhaps already found.

Children's & YADe los pies a la cabeza (From the head to toe)
Juega conmigo (Play with me)
by Pilar Posada, Juliana Salcedo
From the head to toe. Play with me explores the games with the body draw from the verses created and recreated by Pilar Posada. These verses are inspired in the Latin American oral tradition and only an author and expert of the oral tradition such as Pilar Posada can write these verses with the tone of those that have passed by word of mouth for several generations. She manages to integrate verses from her own oral tradition (creates from what has already been created) and offer the reader something totally new. The illustrations by Juliana Salcedo, great Colombian illustrator, based in Spain, accompany the texts with delicacy and wisdom also favoring the play among and between children, and between children and adults.

2023German for Pharmaceutical Practice
Communicate, research, present
by Nadine Yvonne Sprecher, Annette Thomas, Annegret Lehmann and Anke Schichte. In collaboration with Christiane Schneider
In the pharmacy, the staff communicate with customers, colleagues, the medical profession, sales representatives and nursing home staff. Pharmacy employees produce written information based on well-chosen sources and represent the pharmacy to the outside world through presentations, on social media, or with the help of flyers, posters and other promotional materials. All this presupposes the confident use of language, and is best trained in advance. Part A of this work provides assistance for the most diverse communicative requirements in the pharmacy. A short theoretical explanation is always followed by several tasks so that you can immediately put what you have learned into practice and try it out. The „Brief overview of grammar and language knowledge“ boxes point out linguistic stumbling blocks. Those who are not yet sure of the technical terms can make themselves fit in Part B. Here one learns how to conduct a good counselling interview according to the BAC guideline. Extensive lists of technical terms and their explanations suitable for everyday use – all arranged according to organ systems – contain the most important vocabulary for everyday pharmacy work. A totally practical German lesson!

But Why Me?!
by Noga Marron
The original Hebrew edition of But Why Me?!, which has been published so far in six reprints, has been successfully established as a proven help for young readers to enhance their self-image by pointing out that nobody is perfect and that “the grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence”. Many educators are using it in workshops and via guided reading, to assist their students in coping with personal problems. The book contains twenty scenarios, each focusing on a different child. In these scenarios, despite the child’s personal advantages he or she is preoccupied with a certain personal difficulty, and envies the child in the following scene. In the last scenario we meet a child who aspires to be like the one in the first… With its rhyming text and lighthearted illustrations, the book succeeds in coping cheerfully with this serious subject matter. Since 1987 Jerusalem-born Noga Marron has published a total of 32 books, mostly for grade school students and young adults. She has worked for many years as a teacher, a school principal, and board member of the Teachers’ Association of Israel. Ms Marron has a B.A. degree in literature and education from Bar-Ilan University. 48 pages, full-color hardcover, beautiful color drawings,14.5X21.5cm
