        We present to you a rhino that actually once circled the earth in the spaceship, an artist cat from Paris known by everyone, the adventures, and wanderlust of a tiny house, and love stories kissed by the sun... Curious? If you are looking for children's books with a universal message of hope and connectedness, we'd love the opportunity to meet with you. Inner Flower Child Books is a children's book publisher founded in California in 2012 by the creative team of author Susan Schaefer Bernardo (M.A. English Languages and Literature, Yale University) and illustrator Courtenay Fletcher (BFA Advertising/Graphic Design, Art Center College of Design). These artists and their team produce profound, touching, and humorously inspiring books that have become very successful in the US. With wittiness, humor, and intelligence — with rhymes at times — they create stories that promote children's language and social capabilities development. Partly because of that, Susan’s and Courtenay's picture books are used nationwide by schools, children's charities, therapists, and families across the United States to help children and youth heal from problems, large and small. At a time when the whole world is being hit by the trauma of a pandemic, books such as “Sun Kisses and Moon Hugs” bring children and young people a comforting message of love and connection. The colorfully illustrated and inspiring picture books contain generally assignable topics such as healing trauma, bringing people closer to living a sustainable life, and the power of creative expression — predestined to be successful worldwide. (Speaking of worldwide distribution: one of Susan’s and Courtenay's books, “The Rhino Who Swallowed The Storm” was sent to the International Space Station to orbit the planet — and was read aloud by astronaut Kate Rubins as part of the innovative “Story Time From Space” program and broadcasted! Apart from that, “The Rhino” was also promoted by former, then-incumbent First Lady Michelle Obama and present presidential candidate Joe Biden. For more information, please visit our website!). All Inner Flower Child Books titles are currently only published in the United States. Susan and Courtenay are therefore pleased to be able to offer publication and subsidiary rights on all other world markets for the first time.

        Florence Nightingale

        Little People, Big Dreams. Deutsche Ausgabe

        by María Isabel Sánchez Vegara, Kelsey Garrity-Riley, Silke Kleemann

        Als Tochter wohlhabender Eltern erhielt Florence eine gute Erziehung. Das war im 19. Jahrhundert die Grundlage für eine gute Partie. Aber Florence wollte nicht heiraten, sie wollte Krankenschwester werden, um anderen Menschen zu helfen. Als 1853 der Krimkrieg ausbrach, ging sie in ein Militärlazarett in Konstantinopel. Dort starben die meisten Soldaten nicht an ihren Verletzungen, sondern an der mangelnden Hygiene im Krankenhaus. Diesem Mangel abzuhelfen, war ihr Ziel. Und damit löste sie eine Revolution im Gesundheitswesen aus. Sie wurde zur »Mutter der modernen Krankenpflege«. Little People, Big Dreams erzählt von den beeindruckenden Lebensgeschichten großer Menschen: Jede dieser Persönlichkeiten, ob Philosophin, Forscherin oder Sportler, hat Unvorstellbares erreicht. Dabei begann alles, als sie noch klein waren: mit großen Träumen.

        Das Leben der Florence Gordon

        Roman

        by Brian Morton

        Drei eigenwillige Frauen aus drei Generationen: Florence Gordon, New Yorker Intellektuelle und seit Jahrzehnten glühende Feministin, ist unverblümt, eitel, stolz – und eine ziemliche Kratzbürste, die fünfundsiebzig Jahre lang so gelebt hat, wie es ihr gefiel. Sie braucht keine Gesellschaft, die sie ohnehin nur von der Arbeit abhalten würde, und als nun ihr Sohn Dan mit seiner Frau Janine und der halbwüchsigen Tochter Emily nach New York kommt, passt ihr das gar nicht. Emily hingegen sucht die Nähe zu Florence, gerade jetzt, wo sie sich von ihrem Freund getrennt hat – und nun auch noch die Ehe ihrer Eltern ins Wanken gerät. Ganz wie ihre Großmutter ist sie beharrlich und kämpferisch. Das gefällt Florence, und vielleicht kann sie Emily an sich heranlassen, eigentlich könnte sie ein wenig Hilfe auch gut gebrauchen – wenn da nur nicht ihr Stolz wäre … Ein ebenso kluger wie unterhaltsamer und humorvoller Roman über eine Familie und ihre eigenwillige Matriarchin, die gar keine sein will – mit Charakteren, die so lebendig sind, als liefe man ihnen in New York an der nächsten Straßenecke über den Weg.

        The Florentine florin

        The politics and culture of money in the Middle Ages

        by Stefano Locatelli

        Minted in Florence around November 1252, the florin became one of the leading gold currencies of the Middle Ages. Historians agree that its success was mainly due to the need for a stable means of payment in the networks of international trade. The Florentine Florin investigates the florin as a medium with hitherto neglected political, social, and cultural dimensions. By bringing human agents and political institutions more prominently into the history of the coin, this book enhances our understanding of money and its nature from a historical perspective, and provides an original framework for the integrated study of material culture and economic practices.

        The invisible flâneuse?

        Gender, public space and visual culture in nineteenth century Paris

        by Edited by Aruna D'Souza and Tom McDonough

        This collection of essays revisits gender and urban modernity in nineteenth-century Paris in the wake of changes to the fabric of the city and social life. In rethinking the figure of the flâneur, the contributors apply the most current thinking in literature and urban studies to an examination of visual culture of the period, including painting, caricature, illustrated magazines, and posters. Using a variety of approaches, the collection re-examines the long-held belief that life in Paris was divided according to strict gender norms, with men free to roam in public space while women were restricted to the privacy of the domestic sphere. Framed by essays by Janet Wolff and Linda Nochlin - two scholars whose work has been central to the investigation of gender and representation in the nineteenth century - this collection brings together new methods of looking at visual culture with a more nuanced way of picturing city life.
