        Ich war der letzte Bürger der DDR

        Mein Leben als Enkel der Honeckers

        by Thomas Grimm, Roberto Yáñez, Roberto Leonardo Yañez Betancourt, Friedrich von Heydwolff

        Roberto Yáñez, der Enkel von Margot und Erich Honecker, bricht sein Schweigen. Erstmals erzählt er von den Glanzzeiten seiner Kindheit, vom Ende der DDR, wie es die Honeckers als Familie erlebt haben, und von den letzten Lebensjahren seiner Großeltern in Chile. Als die Mauer fällt, ist Roberto 15 Jahre alt. Die geliebten Großeltern werden als Verbrecher gejagt, und auch der Teenager fühlt sich noch verfolgt, nachdem seine Familie in das Heimatland seines Vaters ausgereist ist. Im fremden Chile findet er sich nur schwer zurecht. Nach der Trennung der Eltern zieht er zu seiner Großmutter Margot Honecker, die unbeirrt an den DDR-Glaubenssätzen festhält. Roberto hingegen entdeckt ein neues Leben – zwischen Kunst, Musik und Drogen. Dennoch bleibt seine Großmutter die engste Bezugsperson in seinem Leben, immer wieder kehrt der »Lieblingsenkel« zu ihr zurück. Erst nach ihrem Tod 2016 kann er sich von der Last seiner Familiengeschichte befreien – und erzählen.

        Gedichte und Bilder

        by Roberto Yáñez

        Magische Landschaften aus Pyramiden und Würfeln, übernatürlich leuchtende Bergseen und bizarre Gestalten formen die phantasmagorische Bildwelt des chilenischen Malers und Lyrikers Roberto Yañez. Dieses Buch verbindet die farbkräftigen Gebilde mit Versen, die ihre surreale Herkunft nicht verleugnen. Bald schlägt den Dichter ein Gespenst, bald ein Satan, gelegentlich auch ein merkwürdiger Engel in seinen Bann. Dann regt sich unter dem Bann schwerer Träume etwas wie die Sehnsucht nach Einheit und Erneuerung: »Jetzt ist die Welt wieder zusammengewachsen.«

        When Nothing Else Works

        What Early Childhood Professionals Can Do to Reduce Challenging Behaviors

        by DeMeo, William

        Durante los años pre-escolares la mayoría de los niños tienen sus primeras experiencias de formación y unión social con sus pares. Durante los años pre-escolares es natural que los niños experimentan con interacciones sociales mientras aprenden sobre el mundo. Cuando el colegio logra crear un ambiente de cuidado mutuo se reduce la posibilidad de que los niños manifiesten un comportamiento negativo (así como la burla y la intimidación). Con la nueva traducción del libro Una guía de prevención de bullying y burlas en salones de clases de pre-escolar, los maestros de niños pequeños pueden abordar estos comportamientos antes de que se desarrollen. El acoso y la burla puedan tener un impacto negativo en el aprendizaje del niño, afectando su salud física y su bienestar emocional. El libro Una guía de prevención de bullying y burlas en salones de clases del pre-escolar comparte actividades, que puedan tomar lugar en el salón de clases y con la participación de la familia para desarrollar la empatía en los niños creando un clima de respeto mutuo en el salón. Hay más de 40 actividades que se enfocan en disminuir y controlar la burla y la intimidación mientras cultivan la amistad, la comunidad y los sentimientos positivos; los maestros de niños pequeños aprenden a crear un ambiente en el que todos los niños se sienten seguros, cómodos y bienvenidos. Barbara Sprung y Merle Froschl son las co-directoras del Educational Equity Center (EEC). Dra. Blythe Hinitz es la coordinadora y catedrática de enseñanza de la educación pre-escolar en The College of New Jersey (TCNJ).

        Atlas clínico de periimplantitis

        Nuevo Enfoque diagnóstico clínico y tratamiento

        by José Tomás Sánchez Salmerón

        With a realistic approach, I intend, after more than 12 years of study and compilation of cases on peri-implantitis, to clarify and organize implant pathology, propose solutions and open a space of study, which I believe necessary, in the training of professionals in implantology and odonto-stomatological research. I would like this book to shed a little light on something that is an indivisible form of implantology and provide some answers to so many questions that we ask ourselves during breaks and meals at conferences and events, where, among colleagues, we discuss implantology from day to day, without spectacular cases, the one we apply immediately and the one that makes the success rate much, much higher than the failure rate. We must face situations that we can control and assume the risks of complications that will undoubtedly arise in our surgical maturing. This book will help us to solve many of the situations that are going to present us, but what will help us the most without having problems will be common sense and prudence. Table of Contents: Prologue I Dra. Dª Araceli Morales Sánchez Prologue II Dr. D. Javier Alández Chamorro Initial Reflection Preface Chapter 1- GeneralWhat do we know about peri-implantitis?

        Quiero ser artista

        by Pablo Ottonello

        Nothing is known beforehand of these blind, halftruths distributed in “Kovacic,” nor of the apparent lack of turbulence that imprints “Founding a sex” with a kind of backdrop scenery, or of the speck of flour or talcum powder that confines “Buy cream” to a whiteness that plays on two points, from the hinting glimpse to the concluding sentence with experimentation and innocence. Quiero ser artista changes from a yearning and methodical aspiration into a tautological confession: Literature is the best possible means for such things to happen.

        Vindictas

        Latin American Short Story Writers

        by Pilar Dughi, Magda Zavala, Ivonne Recinos Aquino, Marta Brunet, Bertalicia Peralta, María Luisa de Luján Campos, Mercedes Durand, María Virginia Estenssoro, María Luisa Puga, Mimí Díaz Lozano, Mirta Yáñez, Gilda Holst, Marvel Moreno, Armonía Somers, Mercedes Gordillo, María Luisa Elío, Hilma Contreras, Silda Cordoliani, Rosario Ferré

        Maybe some of the best short stories written in Spanish aren’t what we thought they were. There are several unjustifiable absences, amazing works of art buried by misogyny, disdain or laziness. This anthology of Latin American writers was born to question the conviction that we know the best short stories written during the XX century. We want to destabilize our literary history. It’s necessary to reread our past in order to vindicate authors and texts that shouldn’t be forgotten. This book is only an example: twenty short stories –and twenty women writers– that establish a dialogue with each other from twenty different Latin American countries as well as Spain. The selection criteria is only, and foremost, artistic quality.
