        Liebesgedichte

        by Lily Brett, Jutta Kaußen, Jutta Kaußen, Jutta Kaußen

        Lily Brett wurde in den USA zunächst nicht als Romanautorin bekannt, sondern als Lyrikerin. Unter dem Titel "Twenty Years" hat sie ihrem Mann, dem Maler David Ranken, zum 20. Hochzeitstag eine Gedichtsammlung gewidmet, die hier erstmals veröffentlicht wird. Die Gedichte sind Ausdruck einer tiefen Liebe und innigen Verbundenheit, die sich in kleinsten Gesten und vor allem in alltäglichen Situationen zeigt. Ob beim morgendlichen Aufwachen, beim Konzertbesuch oder beim Einschlafen – das "Ich" und das "Du" sind untrennbar miteinander verbunden, sind nur zusammen denkbar.

In sparsamen, konzentrierten Sätzen beschreibt sie das Grauen des Konzentrationslagers, das ihre Eltern nicht aussprechen konnten.

        Chicken Pox, Second Edition

        by Patrick Guilfoile, Ph.D.

        Until relatively recently, chicken pox was a rite of passage for children and was often looked upon as just a nuisance, although this illness can cause complications in some people. Though the development and use of a chicken pox vaccine has reduced the number of chicken pox cases, the unvaccinated remain vulnerable. In addition, shingles, a painful condition that can arise after an initial chicken pox infection, is a concern, particularly in older people. Chicken Pox, Second Edition presents an overview of this disease caused by a herpesvirus known as the varicella-zoster virus, explaining the signs and symptoms of the disease, how it spreads, how it is treated, and how the development of a vaccine has affected the incidence of chicken pox.  Chapters include: What Is Chicken Pox? The History of Chicken Pox Chicken Pox in Young Children Chicken Pox in Infants and Adults How Is Chicken Pox Diagnosed and Treated? How Is Chicken Pox Prevented? What Is Shingles? The Future of Chicken Pox and Shingles.
