Ein angesehener Privatbankier wird erpresst. In einem Luxushotel wird ein Escort-Girl brutal ermordet und die Vereinten Nationen sind Ziel eines Anschlagplans islamistischer Terrorristen. In dem ersten Teil der Thriller-Trilogie »Geneva Girl – Todesursache unbekannt« geht es um Schwarzgeld, Mord und Terrorgefahr in einer der teuersten Städte der Welt: Genf. Im Mittelpunkt des Buches steht eine deutsche Praktikantin bei den Vereinten Nationen, die an Angststörungen und Klaustrophobie leidet, und zwischen die Fronten von Geheimdienst und Diplomatie gerät. Es handelt sich um eine brisante Mischung aus Psycho- und Politthriller. Die Idee zu dem Roman lieferte der nie aufgeklärte Tod des ehemaligen Ministerpräsidenten von Schleswig-Holstein Uwe Barschel im Genfer Hotel Beau-Rivage.

For Roxy is in search of her missing brother, who has been abducted by supernatural beings. She is also faced with the daunting task of catching the creatures she accidentally freed from the underworld a few months ago – all because she was betrayed by the person she trusted the most. If Roxy doesn’t manage to send all the creatures back within the time she was allowed, she will be sent to the underworld herself. The fact that she now also has to keep an eye on the mysterious Shaw, who has no memory of his past and thus risks jeopardising her mission, is far from ideal. And the same goes for the chemistry between them, which grows stronger and stronger the closer they become.Book 1 of a New Adult fantasy series from Bianca Iosivoni and Laura KneidlNew Adult fantasy – the new genre at LYX!Action-packed, exciting and sexy

May 2008Tausend Geschichten sind nicht genug
Leipziger Poetikvorlesung 2007
by Ingo Schulze, Josef Haslinger, Michael Lentz
Geschichte ist uns nur in Form von Geschichten zugänglich, der Autor vermittelt zwischen den Ereignissen und der Erfahrung der Leser. Das scheint insbesondere für den großen Erzähler Ingo Schulze zu gelten: Simple Storys (1998) wurde als "erstes großes Buch der deutschen Einheit" bezeichnet, Neue Leben (2005) als Wenderoman schlechthin. Doch wie funktioniert dieses geheimnisvolle Medium, der Autor? Einen Einblick in diese black box gab Ingo Schulze in seiner Leipziger Poetikvorlesung "Tausend Geschichten sind nicht genug" (2007). Diese wird hier zusammen mit seiner aufsehenerregenden Rede "Was wollen wir?" aus Anlaß der Verleihung des Thüringer Literaturpreises dokumentiert. Ingo Schulze, geboren 1962 in Dresden, lebt in Berlin. Zuletzt erhielt er für Handy – Dreizehn Geschichten in alter Manier den "Preis der Leipziger Buchmesse" 2007.

Fearless Parenting
by Shulamit Blank & Orli Fuchs-Shabtai
"Fearless Parenting" porte sur l'autorité parentale dans les temps modernes et sur son rôle essentiel dans l'éducation d’enfants autonomes, compatissants et vertueux et la prévention des troubles du comportement et, parfois, de graves troubles psychiatriques.La dernière génération a connu un contrecoup dans la discipline des enfants. Or, en tant que parents, nous devons discuter avec nos enfants de leur comportement. Nous évitons d'être durs avec eux de peur qu'ils nous privent de leur amour ou pire - qu'ils s'effondrent. Par conséquent, les familles d'aujourd'hui font face à de graves troubles du comportement à un âge plus précoce et les parents baissent les bras en signe d’abandon. Le thème principal et l'objectif de ce livre consistent à prouver que la création et l'application de limites raisonnables et appropriées, liées à l'instruction et à l'éducation, pourraient remédier aux relations parents/enfants et, à proprement parler, sauver la vie des enfants.Ce livre est unique dans la mesure où il présente de façon directe, simple et cependant profonde des études de cas réels et des situations fréquemment rencontrées, ainsi que des cas graves de toxicomanie, de délinquance et de troubles psychiques. Le traitement de tous ces cas présente une réaction positive à l'autorité et aux limites adaptées à la situation et au comportement spécifiques. Cet ouvrage contient de nombreuses références à la vie professionnelle pour le lecteur confirmé et s'inspire d'anciens philosophes et penseurs religieux.À propos des auteursShulamit Blank, docteure en médecine, est pédiatre et psychiatre spécialisée dans les troubles du comportement des enfants et des adolescents.En Israël, le Dr Blank est fondatrice et, depuis 1993, directrice générale d'un centre communautaire d’enseignement et de traitement des enfants et adolescents atteints de graves troubles psychiatriques et du comportement. C’est dans ce centre qu’elle parvient à appliquer ses méthodes en limitant l'hospitalisation et l'incarcération psychiatriques et en minimisant l'utilisation de médicaments psychiatriques grâce à une éducation et un enseignement adaptés aux problèmes spécifiques de l'enfant, que ce soient le TDAH, les troubles d'étude, etc.Orli Fuchs-Shabtai, est psychologue clinicienne. Elle a travaillé comme psychothérapeute pour adultes et dirige actuellement un programme national de prévention de la violence infantile.Les auteurs s'efforcent de suivre la sagesse antique de l'aphorisme biblique : « Instruis l'enfant selon la voie qu'il doit suivre; Et quand il sera vieux, il ne s'en détournera pas » (Proverbes 22:6).

Fearless Parenting Makes Confident Kids
by Shulamit Blank & Orly Fuchs-Shabtai
Fearless Parenting is about parental authority in modern timesand its pivotal role in raising self-reliant, compassionate, and ethical children, and in preventing behavioral and even severe psychiatric disorders. The last generation witnessed a backlash against disciplining children. We as parents are told to engage in negotiation with our kids about their behavior. We are afraid to be tough with them in case they won't love us or worse—break down. As a result, families today face severe behavior problems at earlier ages, and parents throw up their hands in resignation. The main theme and objective of this book is to prove that setting and enforcing reasonable and appropriate boundaries, combined with learning and education, could save parents' relationships with their kids and literally save children’s lives. The book is unique in that it presents in a direct, simple, and yet profound way, real case studies and situations commonly encountered, along with severe cases of drug abuse, delinquencies, and mental disturbances. All cases are shown to respond very well to authority and boundaries adjusted to the specific situation and behavior. The book contains numerous references to professional material for the more advanced reader and derives inspiration from ancient philosophers and religious thinkers. Shulamit Blank, M.D, is a pediatrician and psychiatrist, specializing in child and adolescent behavioral disturbances. Dr. Blank is the founder and, since 1993, CEO of a community-based educational and treatment facility in Israel for children and adolescents with severe psychiatric and behavioral disorders, in which she is successfully implementing her methods, preventing psychiatric hospitalization and incarceration, and minimizing the use of psychiatric drugs through teaching and education adjusted to the child's specific problems, such as ADHD, learning disabilities, etc. Due to her breakthrough approach, Dr. Blank is well-recognized and fully involved in the professional community worldwide. Dr. Blank has three children and seven grandchildren and resides with her spouse near Tel Aviv. Orly Fuchs-Shabtai is a clinical psychologist. In 2006 she established a national program for the prevention of child violence. There are about thirty-five counselors from the therapeutic field in the program, which provides counseling to hundreds of families each year and to teachers of preschool through elementary school. Fuchs-Shabtai is the mother of three grown-up children and lives in Tel Aviv. The authors strive to follow the ancient wisdom of the biblical aphorism: "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it" (Proverbs 22:6). An English-Language eBook was published in fall 2014 by Samuel Wachtman's Sons, Inc., CA.

July 2003Arendt und Adorno
by Dirk Auer, Julia Schulze Wessel, Lars Rensmann
Hannah Arendt und Theodor W. Adorno haben sich zeitlebens gegenseitig weder rezipiert noch geschätzt. Ihre wechselseitige Ablehnung setzt sich bis heute in Form von zwei getrennten Rezeptionskulturen fort, die auf theoretischer Ebene ein ›Entweder/Oder‹ suggerieren und politisch unterschiedliche Bedürfnisse zu befriedigen scheinen. Entgegen einer solchen Frontstellung erörtern die einzelnen Beiträge erstmals systematisch die Frage nach Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschieden der theoretischen und zeitdiagnostischen Reflexion der beiden Philosophen. Dabei zeit sich, daß es, über die Ähnlichkeit der Erfahrungshintergründe hinaus, bisher kaum beachtete Verbindungslinien zwischen den Werken gibt. Diskutiert werden insbesondere beider Analysen totaler Herrschaft sowie die Versuche, Philosophie und politisches Denken nach Auschwitz neu zu bestimmen. Dirk Auer ist wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter an der Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg. Lars Rensmann ist wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter am Institut für Politikwissenschaft der FU Berlin und Visiting Scholar am Department of History an der University of California in Berkeley. Julia Schulze Wessel ist wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin am Lehrstuhl ›Politische Theorie und Ideengeschichte‹ an der Technischen Universität Dresden.
