        Das verwunschene Versteck

        Fantasievolles Bilderbuch für Kinder ab 4 Jahren

        by Susanna Mattiangeli, Felicita Sala, Stefanie Jacobs

        »Beeil dich, wir müssen los!«, ruft eine Stimme nach Hannah. Doch sie hat sich versteckt und gerade gar keine Zeit zum Aufbrechen. Hannah muss Raupen sammeln, Pfeil und Bogen basteln und Holz fürs Lagerfeuer sammeln. Von ihrem geheimen Versteck weiß nur das Seltsame Pelzmonster, ein eigenartiges flauschiges Wesen, mit dem Hannah sich angefreundet hat. Gemeinsam machen es sich die beiden dort gemütlich und schlafen auf einem Bett aus Blättern. Doch dann dringt aus der Ferne eine Stimme zu ihr: »Wo bist du?« … Und Hannah wischt die Radiergummikrümel zur Seite und wirft schnell noch einen Blick auf das Bild, das sie gemalt hat: von sich und dem Seltsamen Pelzmonster in ihrem verwunschenen Versteck. Ein Buch über die unendliche Kraft der Fantasie, uns in neue Welten zu entführen, mit zauberhaften Bildern der international gefeierten Illustratorin Felicita Sala.

        Cinema - Italy

        by Stefania Parigi, Des O'Rawe

        A journey to the Italian cinema that overturns established views and opens up new perspectives and interpretations. Its itinerary is organized in four stages. The first is an analysis of the theories of Cesare Zavattini on neorealism which overturns widely accepted positions both on Zavattini and on neorealism. The second confronts a key film of the post-war Italian cinema, Roberto Rossellini's Paisà, by examining the nature of its realism. The third is dedicated to Luchino Visconti: to questions of the use of language exemplified in his La terra trema, the use of settings, costume and light as agents of meaning in his Il Gattopardo and Vaghe stelle dell'Orsa. The final voyage of the film is to the physical and symbolic construction of heaven and earth in the work of Pasolini. Particular attention is given to the representation of the body in his last four films: the grotesque and mythical bodies in popular tradition in his Trilogia di vita and the tortured bodies destroyed by the mass media in Salò. ;

        Der Oktopus haut ab

        Seine aufregende Reise zurück ins Meer | Kinderbuch ab 3 Jahre

        by Maile Meloy, Felicita Sala, Stefanie Jacobs

        Glücklich wohnt der Oktopus in einer Höhle im Meer. Er schaut den bunten Fischen zu, die vorbeischwimmen, und ab und an fängt er sich einen leckeren Krebs. Doch sein beschauliches Leben hat ein jähes Ende, als ein Forschungsteam ihn gefangen nimmt und in ein Aquarium bringt. Hier soll der Tintenfisch zeigen, wie schlau er ist. Mit seinen Fähigkeiten begeistert er zwar die Menschen, nur ihm selbst ist bei all diesen öden Experimenten schrecklich langweilig. Und noch nicht einmal sein Abendessen darf er sich selbst fangen. Die Menschen merken gar nicht, wie sehr er sich nach der Freiheit und dem Meer zurücksehnt. Kein Wunder also, dass der clevere Oktopus bei der nächsten Gelegenheit ausbüxt – und sich auf den weiten Weg zurück in sein geliebtes Zuhause macht. Mit leuchtend farbenfrohen Illustrationen erzählt dieses Buch von den Abenteuern eines Oktopus, der Sehnsucht nach seinem Zuhause und dem Mut, Grenzen zu überwinden. Eine einzigartige Geschichte über eines der schlauesten und faszinierendsten Lebewesen der Erde. Empfohlen ab 3 Jahren

        Ein Trostbuch über Trauer und den Kreislauf des Lebens

        by Ammi-Joan Paquette, Felicita Sala, Stefanie Jacobs

        Eines Tages bekommt Emilia von ihrem Großvater ein ganz besonderes Geschenk: eine Walnuss. Nur mit so einer Nuss in der Tasche und einem kleinen Koffer reiste ihr Opa einst übers Meer in ein neues, unbekanntes Land. Inzwischen ist daraus der große Baum in Großvaters Garten geworden, der ihn an seine Heimat erinnert. Gemeinsam staunen sie, wie auch aus Emilias Walnuss nach und nach ein Bäumchen wird. Doch während es in seinem Topf auf der Fensterbank wächst und gedeiht, wird ihr Großvater zusehends schwächer – bis sie sich eines Tages von ihm verabschieden muss. Emilias Bäumchen sieht so traurig aus, wie sie sich fühlt … doch sie weiß, was sie zu tun hat. Einfühlsam erzählt dieses Buch vom Kreislauf des Lebens und davon, dass alle guten Dinge Zeit zum Wachsen brauchen. Es erinnert daran, dass geliebte Menschen stets ein Teil von uns bleiben, selbst wenn sie nicht mehr da sind.

        This book describes entomopathogenic and slug parasitic nematodes as potential biocontrol agents in crop insect and slug pest management. Addressing research on these two nematodes from tropical, subtropical and temperate countries, it covers the new techniques and major developments regarding mass production, formulation, application, commercialization and safety measures. Plans for future strategies to make these beneficial nematodes cost-effective and expand their use by including them in integrated pest management programmes in different agro-ecosystems are also discussed. Biocontrol Agents: Entomopathogenic and Slug Parasitic Nematodes provides a comprehensive review of the topic and is an essential resource for researchers, industry practitioners and advanced students in the fields of biological control and integrated pest management. ; This book gives a comprehensive account of entomopathogenic and slug parasitic nematodes as potential biocontrol agents in crop insect and slug pest management in tropical, subtropical and temerpate countries.

        Circus-motricity Manual

        by Manlio Casali, Stefania Sala

        "Circus-motricity manual" is in effect a pioneering text, not so much because it invents something new, but rather because, for the first time, it engages in a double attempt: to contribute to the development and dissemination of circus arts as a valid playful tool / educational and design a very practical and concrete form of what is spoken of, to give pragmatism to myths and dreams. And it is a manual that talks about motricity, that is the application of circus arts to a playful and experiential approach that can have important reflections on children. Not because it will make them circus artists. Not superheroes. Not child prodigies. But because it will be a beautiful experience for them, a thing made and lived with pleasure, with themselves, with others, with unexpected gratifications and the development of sociality. A game that improves their motor skills.
