        Ich wär gern wie ich bin

        Roman

        by Gunnhild Øyehaug, Ebba D. Drolshagen

        Sigrid liebt Magnus, der mit seiner neuen Liebe Linnea nach Prag gereist ist. Sigrids Idol, der Schriftsteller Kåre Tryvle, ist zu einem Vortrag nach Bergen gekommen und verliebt sich in Sigrid. Aber nach der ersten gemeinsamen Nacht stellt er fest, daß er Wanda zurückhaben will, die Bassistin in einer Frauenrockband, von der er sich nach einem Streit getrennt hat. Es ging um Tarantinos Kill Bill 2 und um Uma Thurman, die in Teil 1 viel tougher war. Tough wollen sie sein, weil es dann einfacher ist, das Leben zu meistern: Sigrid und Wanda, aber auch Linnea, die Regisseurin. Doch was passiert, wenn Stärke sich in Schwäche verwandelt? In eine Schwäche für Männer? Dürfen wir sein, wie wir sind, fragt sich Sigrid, oder müssen wir uns in zu großen Männerhemden verstecken, um verletzlich auszusehen und geliebt zu werden? Und warum greift selbst Sofia Coppolas Lost in Translation zu diesem Trick? „Du liebe Güte, was für ein Buch! Einfallsreich und lebendig, in Sprache wie Handlung. Der norwegische Roman des Jahres! Die Lektüre ein pures Fest.“ Aftenposten

        by S N Moorthy, M S Sajeev, R P K Ambrose, R J Anish

        This book provides comprehensive and up-to-date knowledge relating to the morphological, structural, and functional characteristics of tuber starches, particularly in relation to their applications in food and industry. In recent years there has been significant progress and extensive research conducted on tropical root starches and especially on some of the lesser known tuber crop starches. There has also been a shift towards using biomaterials in place of synthetic materials in various applications. As researchers investigate the availability of natural products with similar properties, starch has been identified as a reliable alternative to these synthetic materials. Reflecting the growing body of research, Tropical Tuber Starches: - Explores the structure, properties and applications of tropical root and tuber starches (cassava, sweet potato, aroids, yams and other minor tuber crops) - Includes a chapter on the methodology for starch characterisation - Covers patents on starch-based products and the commercial potential of tropical root starches A valuable resource for researchers and students, plant breeders, and commercial producers working with, or considering working with, tropical tuber starches. Table of Contents 1: Introduction - Tropical Tuber Crops and Their Importance 2: Starch - General Considerations 3: Cassava 4: Sweet Potato 5: Aroids 6: Yams 7: Other Starches 8: Starch Modifications 9: Applications of Tuber Starches 10: Characterization and Analysis of Starches 11: Conclusions and Future Prospects

        Coping Better with Cancer Therapy

        Improved quality of life with the right vitamins and minerals

        by Uwe Gröber and Prof. Dr. Klaus Kisters

        Cancer patients often suffer from malnutrition. Not only do they lack energy-providing macronutrients such as protein, fats and carbohydrates, they particularly lack the micronutrients that regulate the metabolism. Micronutrients such as vitamin D, selenium, L-carnitine, omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin C significantly contribute to supporting the immune system of cancer patients, reducing inflammatory processes, alleviating the side effects of cancer therapy, and improving their quality of life. This patient guide provides information about the relationship between cancer, malnutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, the influence of cancer therapeutics on micronutrient balance, and how cancer patients can support their therapy and improve their quality of life with a controlled intake of micronutrient

        Assemblages of cancer

        Experiences and contexts of breast cancer in the UK, France and Italy

        by Cinzia Greco

        Assemblages of cancer illustrates the tensions in the experiences and context of breast cancer in Western Europe. Breast cancer is presented as a success story in oncology, especially in countries with advanced, universal healthcare systems. At the same time, individual experiences are shaped by uncertainty, local variability of healthcare provisions, and the need for patients to assemble information about the treatments, knowledge on healthcare systems navigation, and different processes of meaning-making to manage the uncertainty and variability characterising individual outcomes. The book explores both how individual bodies and experiences are transformed by different local medical practices, institutions and discourses of breast cancer and how patients need to find their own way in these contexts. Assemblages of cancer is based on ten years of ethnographic work with patients and medical professionals in the UK, France and Italy.

        Os escritores de cartas à mão armada

        by Olufunke Ogundimu

        Os escritores de cartas à mão armada da autoria de Olufunke Ogundimu é uma estória sobre uma comunidade nigeriana que recebe cartas de assaltantes à mão armada a anunciar a sua chegada e uma lista de pertences que tencionam levar. Os assaltantes também enviam cópias destas cartas à polícia, aconselhando as suas potenciais vítimas a não se incomodarem. Usando o pronome colectivo "nós" para implicar uma voz narrativa coroada, Ogundimu retrata efectivamente, com um sentido de humor peculiar, a confusão colectiva e a determinação de civis indefesos e o estado lamentável do policiamento no país.

        Paris. Eine Liebe

        Erzählung

        by Urs Faes, Nanne Meyer

        Milde Septembertage in Paris: Nach fast dreißig Jahren kehrt Eric zurück in die Stadt, von der er einmal gehofft hatte, sie würde ihm die Erfüllung bringen. Statt dessen brachten ihn die Tage mit Claudine an den Rand der Verzweiflung – Claudine mit ihren hellen, fast weißblonden Haaren, die Hände in den Taschen ihres grünen Mantels vergraben. Jetzt scheint eine Wiederbegegnung möglich. Und es stellt sich die Frage, ob »einer nicht genauso aus dem besteht, was er nicht gelebt hat, wie aus dem, was durch Zufall seine Wirklichkeit geworden ist«. -- Mit Zeichnungen von Nanne Meyer.

        Involução e outros contos para um mundo em crise

        Colectânea de contos traduzidos pelos vencedores do Concurso de Tradução Literária 2020

        by Sandra Tamele

        Neste terceiro volume da Colectânea de Contos Traduzidos pelos vencedores do Concurso de Tradução Literária, apresentamos seis contos publicados entre 2017 e 2019 no âmbito do Caine Prize for African Writing e da colectânea New Short Fiction from Africa: ‘Involução’ da autoria da sul-africana Stacy Hardy que aborda abertamente a sexualidade da mulher, também preocupações sociais e políticas, faz alusão a questões como a degradação ambiental, o colonialismo e direitos da mulher, ancorados numa teatralidade conceptual necessária para que o conto não se torne efémero e engaje o sentido de humor do leitor para o aproximar da mente aberta de Hardy. ‘A heroína misteriosa’ ou ‘Mavbanelo na mayi’ em Bitonga, é da autoria da Tanzaniana Lydia Kasese. Ela escreve sobre as expectativas e pressões sociais que levam as mulheres a desejarem concertar tudo. Neste conto Kasese traz destramente à luz questões sobre o abuso de menores e o seu impacto sobre as famílias na Tanzânia e, não só. Alinafe Malonje estreou-se nesta colectânea da Short Story Day com o conto ‘Manutenção de Rotina’, um registo metafísico de um hotel: parte alegoria, parte meditação com um subtil comentário sobre o que significa ser mulher no Malawi. Natasha Omokhodion-Kalulu Banda cria um fabuloso hotel de fantasia que contém realidades sinistras, construindo um persuasivo mundo alternativo. Tariro Ndoro em ‘A lenda das duas irmãs’, ou ‘Xihitana xa vamakwavu na makwavu’ em Changana, traz uma abordagem arrepiante dos perigos da saudade, onde a busca por uma irmã num hotel de luxo em Victoria Falls tem um fim fantasmagórico. Mampianina Randria nos apresenta em ‘O Gatilho’, ou ‘Niyódeké sê xidúvúlá’ em Changana, um conto com um ritmo cerrado e um desfecho totalmente inesperado onde uma mulher que lida com as frustrações de quem entra na vida adulta.

        Die tollen Fowleys und ihre Freunde

        by Rosa Raacz

        Die tollen Fowleys und ihre Freunde   Vor ein paar Jahren machte ich Urlaub auf dem Bauernhof meines Sohnes. Meine beiden Enkelkinder waren ungefähr sechs oder sieben Jahre alt. Sie wussten, dass ich gerne Geschichten erzähle, und jeden Abend, bevor sie schlafen gingen, erzählte ich ihnen von den Tieren auf ihrer Farm. Sie wollten immer mehr hören ... Die Geschichten handelten von Fluffy dem Hühnchen, seinem Freund John Ernest der Schildkröte, Hi-Ho dem Pferd, Gideon der Ziege, und den anderen – kurz gesagt, ein fröhlicher Haufen! Ich kehrte nach Hause zurück und erhielt ein paar Tage später einen Brief von meiner Schwiegertochter, in dem ich gebeten wurde, die Geschichten aufzuschreiben, damit sie ihren Kindern vorlesen konnte. Und so entstand dieses Buch. Alle, die Winnie the Pooh, Der Wind in den Weiden, Der Hobbit, und all diese wundervollen Bücher unserer Kindheit geliebt haben, werden auch dieses Buch lieben und ein paar Stunden Unterhaltung genießen, unabhängig vom Alter. Ich schreibe seit über fünfzig Jahren; Einige meiner Arbeiten wurden bereits veröffentlicht, andere sind noch in Vorbereitung. Ich habe mit der Veröffentlichung dieses Buches gewartet, bis ein passender Illustrator gefunden wurde. Ich hatte das Glück, mit Miss Friedman zusammenzuarbeiten, die es geschafft hat, die Charaktere der Geschichten auf einzigartige Weise zu personalisieren. Viel Spaß! Ihre Rosa Raacz
