        Ich bin ein bisschen schüchtern

        by Anna Böhm, Tim Warnes

        In "Ich bin ein bisschen schüchtern" von Anna Böhm geht es um das Kätzchen Nora, das sich mit seiner Schüchternheit auseinandersetzt, besonders als ein neuer, lauter Nachbar ins Haus zieht. Nora fühlt sich unwohl mit der Aufmerksamkeit und würde sich am liebsten verstecken, anstatt sich der neuen Situation zu stellen. Die gut gemeinten Ratschläge der anderen, sie solle doch nicht so schüchtern sein, machen alles nur noch schlimmer. Doch als Nora entdeckt, dass sie nicht allein mit ihren Gefühlen ist und dass ihre Schüchternheit sie in einer besonderen Situation zur Heldin macht, beginnt sie, Vertrauen in sich selbst zu fassen. Diese Wendung zeigt, dass Schüchternheit eine Stärke sein kann und dass Geduld und Verständnis entscheidend sind, um schüchternen Kindern zu helfen, Selbstvertrauen zu entwickeln. Die Geschichte wird durch die liebevollen Illustrationen von Tim Warnes bereichert, die Noras Emotionen und die Welt um sie herum lebhaft zum Leben erwecken. "Ich bin ein bisschen schüchtern" ist nicht nur eine Geschichte über die Überwindung von Schüchternheit, sondern auch ein Plädoyer für Akzeptanz und Verständnis gegenüber den Gefühlen anderer. Es ist eine einfühlsame Bilderbuchgeschichte, die Kindern ab 4 Jahren zeigt, dass es völlig in Ordnung ist, schüchtern zu sein, und dass jeder auf seine Weise und in seinem eigenen Tempo Zutrauen fassen kann. Positive Botschaft über Schüchternheit: Zeigt Kindern, dass Schüchternheit akzeptiert und verstanden werden sollte und keine Schwäche ist. Förderung des Selbstbewusstseins: Hilft Kindern zu erkennen, dass sie mit ihren Gefühlen nicht allein sind und dass sie Stärken in sich tragen, die sie besonders machen. Liebevolle Illustrationen: Tim Warnes' Bilder geben der Geschichte eine warme, einladende Atmosphäre, die Kinder anspricht. Empfehlung von Stiftung Lesen: Unterstützt durch eine renommierte Bildungseinrichtung, was die Qualität und den pädagogischen Wert des Buches unterstreicht. Bewältigung eines typischen Kleinkind-Gefühls: Ideal für Eltern und Erzieher, um mit Kindern über Schüchternheit und Selbstvertrauen zu sprechen. Herz und Humor: Anna Böhm und Tim Warnes haben ein Werk geschaffen, das mit viel Liebe zum Detail und einem Verständnis für die Emotionen der Kinder überzeugt. Breite Zielgruppe: Ansprechend für Kinder ab 4 Jahren, bietet es Anknüpfungspunkte für Gespräche über Gefühle und Selbstakzeptanz.

        Poème pour une petite fille à l’autre bout du monde (Poem for a little girl on the other side of the world)

        by Dieulermesson Petit Frère

        A statement on otherness, a song of love and sincerity, Poème pour une petite fille à l’autre bout du monde is an invitation into the intimate sphere of the poet. It is the figuration of the paternal real brought to its highest point. A father and a little girl meet somewhere, at the other end of a street or a railway station, to talk about friendship, life and their regrets, to take stock of all their failed acts and to give each other reasons to love each other, despite the distance, the disarray and the madness that can arise from absence.

        Asian Rice Bowls: The Returning Crisis?

        by Prabhu L Pingali, Mahabub Hossain, Roberta V Gerpacio

        Less than two decades ago, the world was focusing on the impending food crisis across Asia, which was given little hope of ever being able to meet its rapidly growing food demand. Since then, Asia has made a quantum leap in food production. Technological innovations and policies that promoted intensive rice production systems helped achieve this. The authors of this book argue that there is a growing sense of complacency about future food supplies in Asia and that such complacency is not warranted. While rice productivity may increase, this will be limited by a number of factors: withdrawal of land and labor from agriculture to other uses, increased competition for resources, and land degradation. It is unlikely to match the increase in demand for rice because of population growth. The book provides a thorough assessment of the opportunities for increasing land productivity, including crop diversification. It evaluates the successes and limitations of the Green Revolution for rice in Asia and projects economic and technological trends forward over the next three decades.

        Sustainability of Rice Farming

        by Edited by D J Greenland

        Rice has supported a greater number of people for a longer period of time than any other crop. Nearly half of the global population is dependent on rice as its major staple food. While Asia remains the main centre of production and consumption of rice, the importance of rice is increasing rapidly in Africa and Latin America, and exports of rice from the United States and Australia are of major importance to the world rice trade. This book explores the factors which have contributed to the sustainability of rice production over the eight or nine thousand years for which rice has been produced. Sustainability is defined as the maintenance or improvement of production levels and protection of natural resources, within the context of economic viability and social acceptability. The author covers a wide range of issues, including soil fertility, plant breeding, pest management, irrigation, land degradation and social and economic factors. Greatest emphasis is placed on the special features of wetland rice production, and the importance of the nutrient balance. It is also shown that without the Green Revolution there would have been a period of mass starvation in Asia, a problem which continues to threaten and which will be unavoidable unless the successes of the Green Revolution can be sustained. The book provides a unique review of the sustainability of the production of the world’s most important crop, and should be of interest to students, research workers and policy makers in agriculture, soil science, and agricultural economics and food policies, as well as all interested in development in the third world.

        Festivals of Chinese Ethnic Groups·She: The Black Rice Festival

        by Yan Xiangjun, Liao Zhenghua

        This book mainly introduces the origin of the She ethnic group's Black Rice Festival. While areas of the She ethnic group suffered from pests, the land owners increased rents and fees. As a result, the She people were in shortage of food. Lan Tianfeng led people to the land owner's house to steal food. After being found out, Lan Tianfeng stepped forward to protect others and was imprisoned on March 3rd. There was no food in the prison for him. Later, some She people used black rice leaves to cook rice. The jailers did not dare to eat the black rice and passed the rice to Tianfeng. Over time, Lan Tianfeng slowly recovered. Three years later, again on March 3rd, Lan Tianfeng was rescued. In order for future generations to commemorate the feat of Lan Tianfeng and remember how hard to have rice, the Black Rice Festival is celebrated every year.
