September 2022The Great Deception
How we put our future at risk and sleep through the necessary transformation
by Deutsche Umweltstiftung (ed.)
More and more companies are becoming sustainable. More and more products are being produced sustainably. But things that are called climate-neutral or sustainable today often are not. Then there are the catchy phrases like 'electric mobility belongs to the future' or 'there's enough food on the planet for everyone'. These statements are not true, and are referred to in science as 'frames'. This book provides a guide that enables us to free ourselves from these ecological frames, to see through them. Because only a policy that understands the connections is able to develop perspectives. Numerous experts uncover the biggest lies about the future in this book, refute them and explain what we need to change. Because we can lie to ourselves, but we cannot lie to nature.

2019Why ADHD is Not a Disease
A polemic
by Amrei Wittwer
In some European countries, one in four children is now diagnosed with ADHD (attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder) due to their socially disruptive behaviour. The treatment usually consists of suppressing the symptoms with psychostimulants such as Ritalin. This treatment does not improve school performance, but it curbs the children’s creativity and may stigmatise them for their entire lives. Taking an opposing viewpoint, ADHD expert Dr. Amrei Wittwer focuses on the physical and psychological well-being of the affected children. Because almost all “ADHD patients“ are facing difficulties in relationships with adults, she considers that a solution begins with the children’s domestic and school environments, instruction of parents and teachers, and by using therapeutic approaches rather than simply sedating the children. “Children are our future”, is a common theme in Sunday speeches. Anyone who takes this point seriously, whether or not they themselves are immediately affected, should think about this important topic.

Humanities & Social SciencesApril 2009Food, risk and politics
Scare, scandal and crisis - insights into the risk politics of food safety
by Ed Randall
This is a book about the risk politics of food safety. Food-related risks regularly grab the headlines in ways that threaten reasoned debate and obstruct sensible policy making. In this book, Ed Randall explains why this is the case. He goes on to make the case for a properly informed and fully open public debate about food safety issues. He argues that this is the true antidote to the politics of scare, scandal and crisis. The book skilfully weaves together the many different threads of food safety and risk politics and offers a particularly rewarding read for academics and students in the fields of politics and media studies. It will also appeal to scholars from other disciplines, particularly social psychology and the food sciences. The book is a lively and exceptionally readable account of food safety and risk politics that will engage policy makers and the general reader. It promises to help us all manage food safety issues more intelligently and successfully. ;

March 2024Today Is a Good Day to Abolish the Patriarchy
by Bettina Schulte (ed.)
Do we still need feminism in Europe? Equality or difference feminism? A new generation of feminists has now broken away from the feminism of the 1960s. The old white Cis man has been discredited, by the "#MeToo" movement at the latest. Sexualised violence against women has been outlawed, perpetrators taken to court. So everything’s good? No, of course not. Men still dominate public discourse; men are unchallenged in leadership positions in politics, society and business; male power still prevails in the domestic environment as well. The extent to which men fight back when they feel threatened by feminism is also evident in the revival of authoritarian nationalist politicians in Europe and around the world. The seven authors shed light on feminist struggles in different areas of life, and illustrate the range of feminism today.

February 2023We're Staying!
Why women won't be driven out of the Catholic Church
by Elisabeth Zoll (ed.)
— The book beyond the synodal path — Leaving is not an option for the authors of this book — 17 credible examples of consistency and daring Can the Catholic Church still be saved? There have been huge numbers of resignations; the reasons for them are well known. And yet! Committed Catholics from the worlds of politics, business, culture and society oppose this. They share how, despite their disappointments, even their anger, they are still able to find their way in the Church, walking tall and with inner freedom. These are encouraging examples of decidedly critical women who assert themselves – and who are not going anywhere: "Now, more than ever before, we need women – and men – who are prepared to confess their faith with confidence." Not out of nostalgia or any diffuse incense feelings, but out of conviction, because their faith means a lot to them.

September 2022Identity or Not?
by Jean-Pierre Wils (ed.)
Questions of identity trigger controversial and highly emotional discussions in the political and social debate. The positions range from radically emancipatory perspectives to authoritarian and restorative efforts on the far right wing of politics. Liberal democracies are now opening up – slowly – as identity- and gender-sensitive forums. Opposite them are the 'new ethics' of illiberal democracies and totalitarian states that are aimed at ethnic homogeneity and gender uniformity. But that's not to say that there is unity in the liberal settings on the necessary degree of identity politics. Both language and gender politics are deeply controversial. Do we need an 'identity' and, if so, which one or how many? Can the identity debate be extended by means of other concepts?

Humanities & Social SciencesA Childhood with ADHD
by Daniela Chirici
“Your child is out of control: they do whatever they want to you!” or “ADHD? There’s no such thing! You’re just not raising your child properly. The problem is you, not the child.” Do these phrases sound familiar to you? Are you questioning whether you are a good mother or father, since your child is not the way society demands and expects? Daniela Chirici is familiar with both the attacks and with the self-doubt. Her oldest son was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) at an early age. For ten years, until her son reached the age of 19, she regularly wrote for the Swiss ADHD organization. In her texts, she describes how it is to be out and about with a child affected by ADHD and what it means for the whole family. For:• parents, grandparents, and other relatives of childrenaffected by ADHD• teachers• therapists• anyone who wants to find out more about ADHD

Itzik Manger – ein europäischer Dichter
by Efrat Gal-Ed
Die Biographie eines der größten Dichter jiddischer Sprache (weltweit die erste umfassende überhaupt) ist nach Inhalt und Form außergewöhnlich. Die Lebensgeschichte des Itzik Manger (1901 – 1969) wird verschränkt mit einer lebendigen Schilderung der jiddisch-säkularen Kultur Osteuropas zwischen den Weltkriegen. Und passend orientiert sich die Texteinrichtung durch die Autorin an der Seitengestaltung des Talmud: mit erzählendem Haupttext, Abbildungen und erläuternden Seitentexten. „In Mangers Lebens- und Schaffensgeschichte verkörpern sich Entwicklung und Reichtum der jiddischen Kultur bis 1939, ihre Zerstörung und der tragische Bruch, den die Shoah hinterlassen hat. Mangers Werk entspringt dem jüdischen Osteuropa mit seinen rumänischen, galizischen, polnischen und baltischen Landschaften, in denen seit der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts eine jiddisch-säkulare Kultur sich rasch entfaltete … Itzik Manger zog es, wie die meisten seiner Kollegen, nach Warschau, weil man dort auf unterschiedlichste Weise jiddisch denken, leben und schöpferisch tätig sein konnte. Sie dachten Europa jenseits des Gegensatzes von Eigenkultur und Fremdkultur … Im zunehmend nationalistischen und antisemitischen Polen war das jiddische Europa ein kosmopolitischer Entwurf, ein imaginierter, herbeigeschriebener Ort, an dem jiddisches Leben beheimatet war.“

April 1986Deutsche Soziologie 1933–1945
Die Normalität einer Anpassung
by Otthein Rammstedt
"Die Zeit von 1933 bis 1945 bedeutet für die Soziologie in Deutschland eine »Unterbrechung«. Zweifelsohne hat es aber auch unter dem Faschismus in Deutschland eine Soziologie gegeben. Eine grundsätzliche Ablehnung der Soziologie durch die NSDAP oder im Namen der faschistischen Ideologie fand nicht statt; vielmehr wurde die soziologische Methode seitens des Regimes zunehmend gefragt. Die »deutsche Soziologie« trug in einem nicht zu unterschätzenden Umfang zur Institutionalisierung und Professionalisierung der Soziologie in Deutschland bei, ein Prozeß, der über 1945 hinaus gewirkt hat."

Attention-Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder in Adults
by Brian P. Daly, Elizabeth Nichollos, Ronald T. Brown
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that emerges during childhood. However, it is now well recognized that ADHD frequently persists over the lifespan and well into adulthood. Without appropriate symptom management, ADHD can significantly interfere with academic, emotional, social, and work functioning. When properly identified and diagnosed, however, outcomes in adults with ADHD who receive appropriate treatment are encouraging. This volume in the Advances in Psychotherapy series is both a compact “how to” reference, for use by professional clinicians in their daily work, and an ideal educational reference for practice-oriented students. The most important feature of this volume is that it is practical and “reader friendly”. Target Group: clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, counselors, students.
