Inverno ist die Geschichte einer Liebe, die sich über Jahrzehnte erstreckt. Inverno ist auch die Geschichte von Caroline, die in einem Schneesturm im Central Park steht und darauf wartet, dass ihr Handy klingelt; sie steht nur wenige Meter von der Stelle entfernt, an der sich Alastair dreißig Jahre zuvor als Junge in den Bäumen versteckte. Wird Alistair sie nun also anrufen? Und wie sie da steht und wartet, rauschen die Jahre an ihr vorbei – mal gerät Caroline in eine gefahrvolle Märchenwelt, mal strandet sie in einer Kindheit aus Kummer und harschen Worten, mal wandelt sie durch ihre frühen Erwachsenenjahren, voller Aufbruch und Sehnsucht nach Alistair. Flüchtig, das alles, und kaum zu greifen: Von Dauer scheinen einzig die vertrackten Verhandlungen der Herzen. Wie erschafft und zerstört die Liebe ein Leben? Cynthia Zarin hat einen einfallsreichen, wundersam berührenden und erschreckend wahren Roman geschrieben, über die lange und viel zu kurze Geschichte von Caroline und Alistair – darüber, wie Vergangenheit und Gegenwart sich schillernd ineinander auflösen.

How can we move forward beyond the anger and outrage to heal and transform, in practical ways, the vast crisis of relations between women and men, and among people of all genders? This book addresses that question. Over the past 30 years, the Gender Equity and Reconciliation International (GERI) project has convened over 300 intensive workshops and trainings in 12 countries, for more than 7,000 people on 6 continents. These groups have engaged in a deep process of unraveling the systemic knots of gender conflicts and developed practical skills for transforming gender relations from the inside out. Another 22,000 people have been introduced to the GERI process in conferences and trainings. Inspired by the principles of Truth and Reconciliation developed by the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa, the GERI project has a longstanding record. This book is full of inspiring stories that document how the methodology of deep truth-telling and collective alchemy dissolves root causes of gender conflict, through skillfully facilitated, heart-centered transformational experiences, which are followed up with ongoing peer support. With contributions from 12 distinguished world leaders in this field, and special inserts from such notable persons as Stanislav Grof, MD, Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo, and Peter Rutter, MD, this book is an invaluable resource for laypersons and professionals, educators and religious leaders who are thoughtfully addressing the gender-based conflicts and needs of young and old in their own homes, therapy practices, organizations and congregations across the globe. Will Keepin, Ph.D. and Rev. Cynthia Brix, Ph.D., are co-founders of Gender Equity & Reconciliation, International.

The market is growing for homeopathic remedies, diets and all kinds of miracle cures. Although homeopathic practitioners in Germany are largely unregulated, their supporters are growing in number. An industry has sprung up around alternative medicine that draws on the mistrust towards the pharmaceutical industry, medicine and the media. Many products are as harmless as they are ineffective – but some are dangerous or even lethal. Beate Frenkel investigates: where is the source of this boom? What role do conspiracy theories play as well as the influence of the internet? Why do politicians and the German Medical Association take so few preventive steps? Powerful examples are backed up with statements from doctors, patients and alternative medicine practitioners.

Sara Paretsky is known for her influential V.I. Warshawski series, which transformed the masculine hard-boiled detective formula into a vehicle for feminist values. But Paretsky does more than this. Her novels also illustrate the extent to which detective fiction acts as a literature of trauma, allowing Paretsky to address the politics of agency in ways that go beyond the personal, for trauma always has a social and a political dimension. Paretsky's work also exploits the way detective fiction mirrors the writing of history. Here, Paretsky uses the form to expose the partiality of historical accounts - whether they be personal, institutional, or national - that authorise 'forgetting' of a particularly insidious kind. Significantly, all these issues are explored within the framework of the traditional hard-boiled detective novel. As a result, Paretsky's achievement forces us to acknowledge the deeply subversive potential of detective fiction.
