AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A ZEN MONK
by Taisen Deshimaru
A story of bravery and false starts, Autobiography of a Zen Monk candidly recounts the author’s development from a highly mischievous Japanese boy into a world-renowned Sensei (Teacher) of Zen. While countless memoirs exist written by Zen students and teachers, few are as engaging and as tantalizing as Taisen Deshimaru’s. Looking back at his early life, growing up in Japan, from the viewpoint of his status as a Zen teacher in Paris, the author reflects on his earliest misadventures—from defacing a valuable painting of Bodhidharma as a child, to turning the “Zen stick” on a young monk during a retreat. Adventures abound with stories about alcohol and women, during his student years, and his activities during World War II in working for the arms industry in Malaysia, where he was sympathetic to the underground freedom movement. This first English-language translation of Taisen Deshimaru’s autobiography will be prized for its clear and honest documentation of this great master’s life. Many people all over the world have been influenced by Deshimaru’s Zen teachings, especially his book on Zen and the martial arts. This memoir fills an important gap in our knowledge of his teacher, Kodo Sawaki’s influence on the world of Zen. The story of how Deshimaru met Sawaki as a boy, even slept in the same room with him, and later received monastic ordination is the story of a lifelong friendship of two extraordinary characters in the history of modern Zen. Deshimaru’s influence extends beyond Zen practitioners, though, especially in those interested in the martial arts, as he touches on his martial arts experience as a young man and offers a look into the master’s early training. Additional interest extends to historians who recount the supposed “scandals” of Zen masters’ participation in the war effort. Although Deshimaru’s viewpoint is decidedly subjective, he was intimately acquainted with priests and generals alike, and approaches the difficult subject with a refreshing lack of judgmental disdain which counterbalances many other more lopsided works. Translator, Richard Collins, a longtime Zen practitioner, and currently the Abbot of the New Orleans Zen Temple, is a literature scholar and author of several books including No Fear Zen, Hohm Press, 2014. His knowledge of the subject matter and his finesse with language combine to make this book a delightful read for those who appreciate wellwritten memoir.

2022Micronutrient Depleters: Acid Blockers
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. Those who take acid blockers such as omeprazole or pantoprazole may not only develop disorders relating to calcium, magnesium, vitamin D and bone metabolism in the long term, but above all become deficient in vitamin B12. This way, patients can improve their treatment, reduce the side effects of their medication and increase their quality of life!

2021Paediatric Dose Tables
The dosage of drugs prescribed by paediatricians
by Linda Jaffan-Kolb and Harald Erdmann. Founded by Gustaf-Adolf von Harnack and Folker Janssen
The selection of a drug as well as the determination of the appropriate dosage form and the correct dosage, are two of the difficult tasks faced by a physician. This is particularly the case in paediatrics, where drugs are very often used outside of their licensed indications and hence no dosage recommendations are available. This standard work provides the reliable information that is needed: - Dosages of more than 300 medicines - Differentiation according to age and weight - Details of paediatric licensing - Off-label dosages according to the literature and experience - Contraindications and frequency of undesirable effects. Numerous active substances have been newly included in this 16th edition. Essential for physicians and also indispensable for pharmacists when checking prescriptions for plausibility.

April 1964Zen
Aussprüche und Verse der Zen-Meister
by Peter Weber-Schäfer, Peter Weber-Schäfer
Was ist Zen? Die Lehre des Zen selbst widersetzt sich jeder Aussage über ihren tiefsten Inhalt. Es geht allein um das persönliche Erleben einer Antwort auf die Grundfragen menschlicher Existenz. Mystische Versenkung und intuitive Erleuchtung des Geistes sind mit dem Begriff des Zen verbunden, der, wörtlich genommen, Kontemplation, Selbstversenkung bedeutet.

May 2008Vom Geist des Zen
by Alan Watts, Julius Schwabe
Zen ist keine theoretische Belehrung, es ist kein Studium von Schriften. Zen gründet sich vielmehr auf Praxis und auf persönliches Erleben der Wirklichkeit. Es bedeutet den unmittelbaren Kontakt mit dem Leben mit dem Ziel, eine nahtlose Verbindung zwischen Ich und Leben zu schaffen. Der große amerikanische Religionsphilosoph Alan Watts (1915-1973) hat diese Einführung in den Geist des Zen und den Zen-Buddhismus eigens für westliche Leser verfaßt und zeigt ihnen Wege auf, wie sie sich dem Denken des Zen nähern können. Das Buch wurde zum Klassiker.

2021Haemophilia
Guidelines for pharmacists
by Dr. Carmen Escuriola Ettingshausen and Nico Kraft
With the introduction of emicizumab (Hemlibra®) onto the market in February 2018, the advising of patients with blood clotting disorders entered the realm of the pharmacy. After the German law for greater safety in the supply of medicines (GSAV) came into force in August 2020, all drugs for the specific treatment of blood clotting disorders associated with haemophilia – i.e., also products containing clotting factors – are distributed through pharmacies. This change in the law represents an opportunity and at the same time a challenge for pharmacies. A physician and a pharmacist answer questions about the fundamentals of the disease and how to handle its treatment: ■ What causes haemophilia and how is it manifested in patients? ■ Which drugs are used and how is treatment given? ■ What needs to be observed when supplying patients via the pharmacy? Patient, Haemophilia Centre, Pharmacy – seize the opportunity as a pharmacy and establish your position as a competent and reliable partner in this relationship.

October 1992Spiegelland
Ein deutscher Monolog
by Kurt Drawert
Spiegelland. Ein deutscher Monolog ist ein essayistischer Roman und das erste Prosabuch des in Leipzig lebenden Autors Kurt Drawert, der sich als Lyriker mit dem Gedichtband Privateigentum einen Namen machte. Spiegelland. Ein deutscher Monolog gründet auf den Erfahrungen eines Lebens in der untergegangenen DDR. In diesen Monologen der Selbstvergewisserung, geschrieben im Zeitraum von fünfzehn Monaten zwischen 1990 und 1991 in Schleswig-Holstein, setzt sich Kurt Drawert in kunstvoll gefügten Sprachbewegungen der Erinnerung und der ›Wiederholung‹, erzählend und reflektierend, mit der eigenen Biographie und der Geschichte des Herkunftslandes auseinander - um das eigene biographische »Niemandsland« besser zu verstehen. »Denn der Gegenstand des Denkens ist die Welt der Väter gewesen, von ihr sollte berichtet werden, und wie verloren sie machte und wie verloren sie war - als herrschende Ordnung, als Sprache, als beschädigtes Leben.«

March 1997Frederik
Erzählung
by Kurt Aebli
So klassisch wie das Thema, so unverwechselbar ist diese Prosa. Kurt Aebli berichtet von einer Person, die verschwindet. Prosaminiaturen von traurig-komischer Aura haben diesen Erzähler bekannt gemacht, seine Wahrnehmungsschärfe, seine treffsicheren Provokationen durch das Unspektakuläre wurden als „Aeblifizierungen des Alltags“ beschrieben. Und seine hohe Kunst der Tarnung und Täuschung führt Kurt Aebli auch in seiner Erzählung Frederik verstörend vor. Wer ist Frederik? Was ist uns eine Person, wenn sie plötzlich nicht mehr da ist? In drei Kapiteln wirft Kurt Aebli drei Blicke auf seine rätselhafte Figur Frederik, um nach und nach die Blende dieser Prosa der Ausdeutung schärfer stellen zu können. Zunächst reist Frederiks Freundin Yvette von Zürich nach New York, trifft dort nur Paul, den Freund von Frederik, und irrt zunehmend verlorener durch die Riesenstadt. Schließlich begegnen wir Paul in Zürich und dann Frederik flanierend in Berlin. In ständiger und raffinierter Verschiebung von Blick, Zeit und Ort und in einer Sprache, die zwischen Ironie und Witz, kühler Beobachtung und philosophierender Selbstbespiegelung sich spielerisch zu bewegen weiß, können wir Leser bemerken: Das Verschwinden kann schwierig sein.
