        Lauras letzte Party

        Roman | Ein düsterer Psychothriller aus Skandinavien

        by J. K. Johansson, Elina Kritzokat

        „Vermisst. Die 16-jährige Laura Anderson wurde zuletzt am 13.8. um 23 Uhr am Strand von Palokaski gesehen, wo sie mit Freunden eine Party feierte. Laura ist schlank, mittelgroß, hat blaue Augen und schwarz gefärbte Haare. Sie trug eine enge weiße Jeans und eine rosa Karobluse und Turnschuhe.“ „Mia ging auf das weiße f auf blauem Grund. Keine Fotos. Keine neuen Kommentare oder Likes. Aber eine Nachricht. Und im selben Moment wusste sie, dass sie keine Sekunde mehr schlafen würde. Die Nachricht kam von Johanna und war kurz: Laura ist tot.“ Mia Pohjavirta musste ihren Polizei-Job für Ermittlung in sozialen Netzwerken wegen ihrer Internet-Sucht an den Nagel hängen. Als Sonderpädagogin ist sie jetzt an ihre alte Schule und damit in ihre Heimatstadt zurückkehrt. Es soll endlich Ruhe in ihr Leben einkehren. Aber am ersten Schultag nach den Ferien macht es schnell die Runde: die 16jährige Schülerin Laura Anderson ist verschwunden. Ihre Eltern richten in ihrer Verzweiflung auf der Suche nach ihrer Tochter eine Facebook Seite ein und lösen damit einen wahren Shitstorm aus. Von Satanskult, Drogen und Sadomaso-Spielen ist die Rede, jemand will Laura in Amsterdam gesichtet haben. Jeder hat seine eigene Theorie, wo Laura steckt, aber am meisten scheint Mias Bruder Niklas zu wissen, der als Psychologe an der Schule arbeitet. Der Sommer, der für Mia so strahlend und hoffnungsvoll begann, wird zum düsteren Albtraum. Teil eins der Palokaski-Trilogie. Wenn »Gone Girl« und »Twin Peaks« aufeinandertreffen...

        Das Kaninchenhaus

        Roman

        by Angelica Ammar, Laura Alcoba

        Mit sieben Jahren ist es schwer zu verstehen, warum der Vater im Gefängnis sitzt und die Mutter im Haus heimlich Flugblätter druckt. Aber Laura versteht. Auch, als sie nicht mehr in die Schule gehen soll, wegen der unangenehmen Fragen dort. Auch, als sie im Kofferraum eines Wagens zu ihren Großeltern gefahren wird. Und sie weiß, wie man auf der Straße Verfolger erkennt und warum sie unter falschem Namen lebt. Es sind die Jahre der Militärdiktatur in Argentinien. Die Montoneros, eine bewaffnete Widerstandsbewegung, der Lauras Eltern angehören, haben in dem heruntergekommenen Haus am Rande von La Plata eine geheime Druckerpresse eingerichtet. Nach außen rechtfertigt eine Kaninchenzucht die politischen Umtriebe der Bewegung. Ebenso beschützend wie bedrohlich, wird das Kaninchenhaus zum Unterschlupf für das jäh der Normalität entrissene Kind, das mit banger Faszination die Welt der Erwachsenen betritt. Aus der berührenden Sicht eines siebenjährigen Mädchens erzählt die argentinische Autorin Laura Alcoba von einer Kindheit, die zugleich Schrecken und Zauber birgt.

        Sigmund Freud's The Interpretation of Dreams

        by Laura Marcus

        Freud's The Interpretation of Dreams, published in 1900, has been one of the most influential texts of the modern era, fundamentally changing the ways in which people have thought about their waking lives as well as their dreams. This book, more than any other in Freud's massive oeuvre, has shaped a vast amount of work in linguistics and semiotics, literary studies, film theory, psychology, philosophical hermeneutics and the history of ideas. This influence is reflected in the editor's introduction, which includes a substantial discussion of the theory and practice of representation, and the six essays specially commissioned for this volume. The contributors are renowned for their knowledge of Freudian theory and for their interdisciplinary expertise in a wide range of fields. They examine, for example, the relationship of Freud's text to theories of interpretation, autobiography and literary production. The book as a whole gives a clear sense both of the context of Freud's text and of its influence throughout the twentieth century. This volume is an ideal introduction to Freud's work for students and teachers of English and other literatures, philosophy and social and cultural studies, as well as the wider audience concerned with psychoanalysis and its cultural ramifications. ;

        Introduction to English Renaissance comedy

        by Alexander Leggatt

        Introduction to English Renaissance comedy provides a comprehensive introduction to Elizabethan, Jacobean and Caroline comedy, covering both public and private theatres, emphasising the eclectic, experimental nature of this comedy: its departures from the mainstream New Comedy tradition, its searching, witty analysis of social and personal relations in court, city and country. This book makes a close analysis of some of the richest comedies of the period, making unexpected connections between them: Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Tempest, Lyly's Endymion, Greene's Friar Bacon and Friar Bungay, Marston's The Malcontent, Middleton's Michaelmas Term, Jonson's Bartholomew Fair, Shirley's The Lady of Pleasure and Brome's A Jovial Crew. Through these plays the reader is given a comprehensive picture of English comedy in one of its most creative periods. ;

        Introduction to the history

        by Natalia Yakovenko

        The new book by the well-known Ukrainian historian, chief of the Department of history of National University of Kyiv Mohyla Academy, professor Natalia Yakovenko, despite being a university textbook and a propaedeutic course on a professional subject, is written in a simple and easy to read manner which is far from academic cliché and embodies high academic style in its best meaning. However, the word 'textbook' even in its most positive meaning applies to this book only as a kind of mask that hides much more complex structure, not only stylistically but by its content and pragmatism as well. As the professor herself admits, this book does not belong to any classic genres. This is not a history of historiography, not a methodology of history and this is not an introduction to history as well.

        For Veterinary Nurses and Technicians

        by Kathy Istace

        Periodontal disease is one of the most common diseases observed by small animal practitioners, and it is not uncommon for the veterinary technician to be the first line in oral health assessment and treatment. Despite this, current dentistry training for veterinary technicians and nurses is often very limited. This book explains the causes, consequences, prevention and treatment of pet dental diseases including periodontal disease, fractured teeth, tooth resorption, dental malocclusions, oral masses, jaw fractures, and other oral conditions. It covers: · Instruction in essential skills such as dental cleaning, charting, radiography, and equipment maintenance. · Advanced skills such as the administration of regional nerve blocks and periodontal treatments. · The aetiology and treatment of common oral conditions. Improving competence in veterinary dental skills benefits technicians, veterinary practices, owners and their pets. Explaining pet dental diseases in a relatable way, this book allows veterinary staff to relay important dental information to pet owners in a way they understand. Providing solutions to help prevent and manage pet dental diseases, it outlines treatment options, outcomes, and post-operative dental care.
