Teaching, Language & ReferenceApril 2021Digital Teaching at University
by Anja Wipper/Alexandra Schulz
Digital media can enrich university teaching in many ways. Whether in classroom-only courses, online phases or a mixture of both: this volume deals with the various ways of integrating digital media into your own teaching, in addition to didactic and motivational principles. Using example scenarios, practical instructions and tips for successful implementation are given. The authors present how online and classroom phases can be sensibly combined into a blended learning arrangement based on three typical application models. Using practical examples from everyday teaching as well as ideas and tips for methodological design, they also present appropriate didactic and motivational designs – for the design of online phases on the one hand and for the enrichment of face-to-face events with digital tools on the other.

She encourages you in your self-determination and personal responsibility and takes you gently by the hand in difficult moments. In most cases, it is "rescue forces" from nature that help and calm the situation, whether aroma mixtures, homeopathic globules, Bach flowers or teas. To which kind of support or therapy you feel attracted, you will recognize yourself. “Since 'Die Hebammen-Sprechstunde' came into existence, there has been a noticeable change in the self-confident way in which expectant parents deal with pregnancy, birth, the postpartum period and breastfeeding.

Humanities & Social SciencesJune 2022FemFacts
Of sexisms, gender gaps and other absurdities
by Michaela Leitner
According to the German law, women and men have had equal rights for over 70 years. But is that really the case? Who mainly takes care of the house and children? Who is less likely to make it into management despite equal training and experience? Who still falls through the cracks, linguistically and medically? Women*. They are the survivors of a system that half of humanity simply forgets. Where stereotypical gender roles and sexism have brought us is shown by the eternal discussions about the gender pay gap and the questionof care work. This book is a feminist survey - sometimes amusing, mostly hair-raising. Michaela Leitner illustrates in informative as well as tongue-in-cheek illustrations a huge injustice in the middle of our society. *Gender categories are diverse and move beyond the binary of ›woman - man‹. In this book, the term ›woman‹ refers to individuals who identify wholly or partially as women, are read as women, and/or have been social- ized as women.

There is a train Station in Heaven
by Jando / Christoper Große
Ein Mann schlendert in Gedanken versunken an einem blauen Meer entlang. Das Meer grenzt an eine satte grüne Wiese, die sich über den gesamten Horizont streckt. Auf einer Parkbank, die unter einer dicken alten Eiche steht und von der aus er einen freien Blick auf das Wasser hat, nimmt er Platz. Suchend blickt er sich um. Eine ältere Dame mit einem wuscheligen Hund nähert sich und setzt sich zu ihm. Irritiert und verzweifelt fragt der Mann, wo er sei. Er habe keine Ahnung, wie er hierhergekommen sei. Alles hier sähe so ruhig, so schön und unwirklich aus. Die ältere Dame stellt sich als Maja(Mitte 70) vor und der Mann als Finn(Mitte 20). Sie sagt, dass sie so etwas schon öfter erlebt hat. Durch ihr Alter vergesse sie aber immer, wie der Ort hier genannt wird. Finn solle von seinem Leben, seinen Erinnerungen erzählen. So würde es ihm bestimmt wieder einfallen, wie er hierhergekommen sei und wie der Ort genannt werde. So mache sie es auch immer Nach dem Bestseller " Im Himmel gibt es einen Bahnhof" von dem Autor Jando

Die Präparatorin
The Taxidermist
by Andreas Wagner
When taxidermist Felicitas Booth discovers a box of her father's memorabilia, her world begins to crumble. Wasn't he just the innocent victim of a murder she thought he was for decades? What happened on that Africa expedition where only half the participants survived? Felicitas decides to find out the truth, without knowing that her undertaking could have serious consequences for her own life. Andreas Wagner – born in Mainz, winegrower, historian and author – succeeded in creating a novel, that is so diverse and multi-faceted that it resists any classification. What begins as a carefully told and touchingly cozy story drastically changes into a genuine investigative thriller. Throughout the novel, the narrator recalls memory fragments which capture the experiences of Felicitas' father in Africa. Caught up in a dangerous maelstrom of events, the protagonist Felicitas has to wrestle with these memories of her childhood and demons of her past. Wagner manages in a remarkable way to awaken a fascination for the processes and effects of taxidermy and to provide insights into a profession that tries to demistify death. The initial unease the reader perceives from the protagonist’s profession and family history develops into a dynamic and gripping plot – and a fascinating novel.

MemoirsMarch 2018Owl place
From the incredible life of Rudi Kleineich or search for happiness in a hard time
by Harry Schmidt
This excitingly written book takes place between winter 1945 and Christmas 1953 - with skilfully inserted flashbacks to the years 1919, 1923 and 1930. The owl village that gives the book its title is the Lindenhof estate workers' village in Vorpommern, a place without owls, without newspapers and without electricity. One of its inhabitants is the 25-year-old day laborer's son and "bee man" Rudi Kleineich, who is of military age, as it was then called, but suffers from the life-threatening hemophilia and yet has an unbridled will to live. This will is even increased when, in the turmoil of the time, he comes into possession of a voluminous encyclopedia from 1886. From it he learns that he does not necessarily have to die as early as his uncle, from whom he copied beekeeping. The actual action begins a few days before the Russian invasion, which is expected with great fear and uncertainty, and which is supposed to be just outside the village. When the Red Army actually arrives, many terrible things happen in Owl Village, too, with which the soldiers with the red star take revenge on their German enemies - especially on their wives, almost no matter how old or young they are. In this Vorpommerschen place, too, Harry Schmidt, in reference to the hard historical facts, lets a real rape frenzy of several days happen. Law and order seem to have capitulated to the violence of the war and even officers no longer know either decency or humanity. But then suddenly it is over. As if someone had flipped a switch in the occupying forces, the intoxication is ended, and where rape and murder could have been committed with impunity, the perpetrators from their own ranks are now threatened with drastic punishment - including summary executions. The new order is taking hold. But what will the future bring to the little people of Lindenhof? And does Rudi's tender love for Christel, the refugee girl, have a chance?
