May 2022In the Shadow of War
Diary notes from Ukraine
by Christoph Brumme
"What can you learn in war? Do you become numb, do you get used to it at some point? Does war make you "hard", uncaring, above pain? No. These are just clichés. Every day brings new horrors. At best, one learns for some time to suppress strong feelings, because to give in to them would weaken one's life instinct." In a very stirring and shocking, but sometimes humorous language, Christoph Brumme tells of the situation in Ukraine, the everyday life of his family and friends, of fears, longings and political assessments. The diary entries of the war and the resistance of the Ukrainians, starting from the first signs of the impending war in mid-January 2022 until the printing of this book, 1st May 2022, impressively bear witness to the brutality of these events.

October 2022From Dream to Trauma: Mental abuse in partnerships
by Caroline Wenzel
The level of domestic abuse has been increasing for years, but often only cases of physical abuse hit the headlines. Hardly anyone talks about the mental, or psychological, abuse that usually precedes a physical or sexual assault. Those affected do not usually recognise the destructive dynamic in their relationship until far too late. In this book, three case histories illustrate the typical forms of mental abuse in relationships. In addition, experts explain the topic from psychological, therapeutic, political and legal perspectives, and the head of a counselling centre for male victims of mental abuse also has his say. An important and startling book.

October 2022(Un)check Your Privilege
How the debate about privilegesprevents justice
by Jörg Scheller
There is a great deal of talk about privileges. At the head of the privileged in this narrative is the 'white man'. Today, the word 'privilege' is used as a term for advantages and favours. Jörg Scheller is clear: "Anyone who fights ideology in an ideological way is not doing himself any favours, and instead is doing his opponent a tremendous one." In his essay, Scheller returns the concept of privilege to its historicity, distinguishing between prerogatives and advantages. What exactly are privileges? When does the attribution 'privileged' make sense, and in which cases can it obscure our view of reality?

September 2022Lust
Fuckability, orgasm gap and #metoo
by Henriette Hell
Lust, a mortal sin? These times are over. In today's public perception, it is more likely for a boring sex life to be categorised as that. In statistical terms, people have never had as little sex with each other as they do today. And yet tips for a good sex life are to be found on every (digital) corner. Sex has mutated into a lifestyle product, and terms like 'fuckability' and 'MILF' trip lightly off our tongues. Henriette Hell takes a closer look at the thing about sex. She traces the history and genesis of 'sexual liberation', and sheds light on the 'cheating gene' and the #metoo debate. The author asks (and answers) the question of whether sex is becoming more and more antisocial and what actually still turns us on today. In doing so, she focuses on the former mortal sin of lust, which is inseparably linked to the systematic suppression of female lust (and its liberation).

September 2022Cannabis
What we know,what we need to know
by Peter Cremer-Schaeffer
For the current German government coalition the legalisation of cannabis is a done deal. Over the course of the legislative period, the possibility is to be created of providing adults with a controlled supply of cannabis for recreational purposes. But regardless of that, the health consequences of cannabis use remain controversial. In his book, the author debates the state of opinion. What findings on cannabis are definite today, and which questions remain unanswered? He also takes stock of the use of cannabis for medicinal purposes, which has been legal for years. Whether about the plant, its effects on body and mind or the legal situation in other countries, anyone who wishes to have a well-considered say on the topic of cannabis needs to read this book.

April 2022From the Bottom of One's Heart!
Development work in Africa
by Erk J. Thomsen
On 25 October 2010 Erk and Marion Thomson flew to Kigali, Rwanda, for the first time. Their destination: the convent of the Benebikira Sisters in Butare, where the nuns’ projects included the administration of a hospital. A parish in Hamburg supported the projects, and Erk Thomsen was representing the pastor, who was travelling elsewhere, to look at the matter on site. But that was when the couple's real commitment actually began. Both were touched and embraced by the country and its people. They wanted to continue to help, this time with their own projects, and there were many of them. In this book, Erk Thomsen tells of his encounters with a country and its people – and of the projects he supports.

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?

2022Micronutrient Depleters: Metformin
Things to know about medicines and micronutrients
by Uwe Gröber and Prof. Dr. Klaus Kisters
This guide provides patients with important medical information about interactions of their drug products with vitamins and minerals. These interactions are not always listed in the accompanying package inserts. Taking the diabetes drug metformin can cause a vitamin B12 deficiency, which causes severe nerve damage. Besides vitamin B12, other micronutrients such as magnesium, coenzyme Q10, vitamin C, vitamin D and chromium can support the therapy with metformin and other diabetes medicines. This way, patients can optimise their treatment, reduce the side effects of their medication and improve their quality of life!
