May 2022Tillys Kinderkram. Tilly wird fast Vegetarianerin
by Jasmin Schaudinn, Angela Gstalter
In "Tillys Kinderkram. Tilly wird fast Vegetarianerin" begleitet Jasmin Schaudinn junge Leser auf eine humorvolle Entdeckungsreise durch die Augen der lebhaften Tilly, die sich plötzlich mit dem Konzept des Vegetarismus konfrontiert sieht. Inspiriert von ihrem kindergärtnerischen Vorbild Devin, beginnt Tilly zu hinterfragen, was es bedeutet, Vegetarier zu sein, insbesondere als sie realisiert, dass ihre geliebte Salami tatsächlich aus Fleisch besteht. Dies führt zu einem charmanten inneren Konflikt und dem Versuch, sich an eine fleischlose Ernährung zu gewöhnen – zumindest vorübergehend. Neben diesem großen Vorhaben taucht Tilly zusammen mit ihrer Freundin Azra in eine Welt voller kindlicher Fantasien ein, die von künstlichen Nägeln aus Spielsteinen bis zu selbstgebastelten Handys reicht. Ihr Entschluss, Vegetarierin zu werden, wird auf die Probe gestellt, als die Aussicht auf Chicken Nuggets mit ihrem Vater sie wieder in Versuchung führt. Diese Geschichte fängt auf bezaubernde Weise die Neugierde, die Widersprüche und das Entdecken neuer Ideen im Kindesalter ein, verpackt in eine Erzählung über Freundschaft, Familie und die ersten Schritte hin zu bewussteren Entscheidungen. Kindliche Perspektive auf aktuelle Themen: Erschließt Trendthemen wie gesunde Ernährung und Vegetarismus auf eine Weise, die für Kinder verständlich und ansprechend ist. Ermutigung zu Selbstreflexion und Neugier: Regt junge Leser*innen ab 4 Jahren dazu an, über ihre eigenen Essgewohnheiten nachzudenken und sich auf das Abenteuer neuer Erfahrungen einzulassen. Einblick in kindliche Fantasiewelten: Neben der Auseinandersetzung mit dem Vegetarismus taucht das Buch tief in die kreative und fantasievolle Welt von Kindern ein. Humorvolle und lebensnahe Erzählweise: Mit viel Witz und Charme werden die kleinen und großen Fragen des Alltags aus der Sicht eines Kindes beleuchtet. Begleitender Podcast „Kinderkram“: Bietet zusätzliche Einblicke und vertieft die Themen des Buches auf unterhaltsame Weise.

October 2023Veganomics
The vegan revolution and its future markets
by Joël Luc Cachelin
— A practical guide on how an entirely vegan society can work — A thought-provoking utopia – exactly what we need right now — By the futurologist and founder of the Wissensfabrik ("Knowledge Factory") with a large network We're on an idyllic, albeit fictional, archipelago in the North Sea. Nobody keeps an animal against its will here, and no one sells the materials obtained from killing an animal. No animals are used in agriculture or for research, beauty and food industries. There are no zoos, and there's no animal testing. No one wears wool or leather. Vegania is entirely vegan. Now Karnivoria wants to follow suit, and asks Vegania for advice: how can an entirely different society work; how is it possible to move away from animal products, and how would this affect the catering and food industries and agriculture? An exciting scientific experiment that Joël Luc Cachelin underpins with linguistic sophistication and scientific expertise in this extraordinary book about the possibilities of a livestock-free society.

Für unsere Welt, unser Klima und uns selbst
by Nils Binnberg
Sind Veganer tatsächlich die besseren Menschen, müssen Fleisch-Esser sich schämen? Wo endet das Recht auf Selbstentfaltung? Wo beginnt kollektive Verantwortung? Und: Können wir uns und das Klima überhaupt noch heilen? Nils Binnberg, der bekannte Journalist und Autor des Erfolgstitels Ich habe es satt!, entlarvt in Anders essen unsere Befindlichkeiten und gängigsten Mythen über den Zusammenhang von Klimawandel und Ernährung. Er untersucht, ob und inwiefern Tierhaltung in Bezug auf den CO2‑Fußabdruck unsere größte Sünde ist. Und erläutert, ob es tatsächlich eine Ernährungsformel gibt, die unseren Planeten retten kann. Der Autor hat bei Landwirten, Politikern, Ökonomen und Wissenschaftlern, aber auch in seinem persönlichen Umfeld recherchiert. Sein Buch ist eine faktenreiche, meinungsstarke Ermutigung, die Chancen zu ergreifen, die vor uns liegen. Denn jeder Einzelne von uns kann etwas tun – auch ohne seine individuellen Bedürfnisse aufgeben zu müssen!
