        We were born more than ten years ago as a monthly paper magazine, with the experience that this entails in public distribution. The central theme of our magazine is football, but always with an eye on culture, politics and society, and treated from slow journalism. Three years ago, we started publishing books with the same philosophy: football as a theme, but in contact with many other edges. We've already published eight books, three every year. Among the books there is variety: novels, history, journalism, biographies, Spain, England, Africa... We keep a geographic variety.

        Corona Chaos. Confessions from a pharmacist

        by Simon Krivec

        More than two years of pandemic is more than two years of corona clutter. Only a staggering level of helpfulness, improvisation and flexibility prevented the healthcare system from collapsing completely. In this highly topical book, pharmacist Simon Krivec tells of his incredible experiences and the stormy ups and downs of pandemic madness, missing masks and disinfectants, and the feeling of having been totally abandoned by a helpless state. We learn, for instance, of the short-term procurement of large quantities of ethanol and the transportation of the highly flammable substance, and just what lured the author – and 71,400 euros in cash – to visit the port of Neuss at night.

        Systemically Relevant

        Behind the scenes of nursing

        by Maximiliane Schaffrath

        In 2008, the banks that had been bailed out with billions by the government were considered “systemically relevant”, in the corona pandemic of 2020 it was members of poorly paid professions such as healthcare workers. Reading Maximiliane Schaffrath‘s book on the situation regarding healthcare and nursing staff, it seems almost miraculous that Germany had managed to escape a corona disaster for so long. She gives a very personal and gripping account of the stages in her own training – and the unsustainable conditions that are suffered not only by the people who are supposed to care for and look after us, but also by everyone who depends on them.

        Tolerating Democracy!

        About arguing in a society of indignation

        by Karoline M. Preisler

        Are we all still only moving around in our bubbles, unwilling and unprepared to engage in the positions of "the others"? Will only someone be heard who polarises and defames loudly enough, who ignores facts, denies them, twists them, who even calls for violence? The debate over the corona measures has given a new urgency as we address the question of how democracy can be lived and protected in times of an erosion of the centre and social cohesion. Karoline M. Preisler asks herself these questions and, as a passionate democrat, advocates creating new tools and meeting places for the necessary dialogue on controversial topics such as the limits of freedom, religion, climate crisis, immigration and the family.

        Das europäische Pandämonium

        Was die Pandemie über den Zustand der EU enthüllt

        by Andreas Ecke, Luuk van Middelaar

        Keine Solidarität, geschlossene Schlagbäume statt offener Grenzen. Als die Corona-Pandemie Europa erreichte, waren sich die Beobachter bald einig: Brüssel hat versagt, im Angesicht der Gefahr ist die EU »zu Roststaub zerfallen« (Der Spiegel). Die Rhetorik des bevorstehenden Untergangs begleitet die Union freilich seit mindestens einem Jahrzehnt – und erwies sich doch stets als stark übertrieben. Der Eindruck der Dauerkrise, so Luuk van Middelaar, verdankt sich einer Metamorphose von der Regel- zur Ereignispolitik: Statt stiller Technokratie ist Improvisationsfähigkeit gefragt. Da Corona die Körper alle Bürgerinnen und Bürger bedroht, wird Europa zu einer öffentlichen Angelegenheit. Und die EU realisiert, dass sie sich zwischen China und den USA selbstbewusst positionieren muss.

Since the beginning of 2022, pharmacies have also been able to offer COVID-19 vaccinations and contribute to the collective protection strategy. With this guide, everything is ready for COVID-19 vaccination in the pharmacy.

        We Can Do Better

        by Arvay, Clemens G.

        How Environmental Destruction Caused the Corona Pandemic and Why Ecological Medicine Can Save Us The corona crisis can repeat itself at any time. A book about the disease-causing mechanisms of environmental pollution, and an innovative guide out of the health crisis Clemens Arvay is an expert in the field of medical ecology. In WE CAN DO BETTER, he takes the current corona crisis as an opportunity to look far beyond and work out exactly why negative environmental factors are responsible for an increasing deterioration of public health. Yet the author also points the way out of the calamity, explaining how we ourselves and future generations can improve our health through a different approach to nature.It was only because of environmental factors that COVID-19 was able to become a pandemic. Thus, for Clemens Arvay the corona crisis represents a symptom of a much larger problem, namely, a natural habitat that is making humans sick. It is already known today that fine particulate matter intensifies not only corona but also influenza infections, thereby killing hundreds of thousands of people worldwide every year. Light pollution leads to a rapid increase in cancer, and even the abrasion of automobile tires inhibits our immune system. Clemens Arvay makes himself clear: this is our last chance to take control of the situation. After the corona crisis, we must never allow things to return to the way they were before. Arvay therefore calls for nothing less than an eco-medical revolution in healthcare; a different, less global and industrialized lifestyle. And he shows each and every one of us how we can utilize factors in our environment to protect our health, strengthen our immune system, and stay well.
