Optimistisch, charmant und in fröhlich farbenfrohen Bildern illustriert von Sandy Rodriguez. Der kleine Hund Perla hat zwei Superkräfte: Sie kann jeden dazu bringen, sie zu lieben. Und sie kann brüllen wie ein Löwe. In der Familie Rico schließt sie natürlich jeder gleich ins Herz, ganz besonders der siebenjährige Nico. Doch immer öfter ist er traurig, da ein Junge in der Schule ziemlich gemein zu ihm ist. Perla weiß, dass nun ihre Superkraft gefragt ist, damit Nico neues Selbstvertrauen findet.
Journey to the Land of Men follows Gege, a skilled orphan raised by a sword master near Puna in Los Andes. In a post-apocalyptic future, the Southern Globe (formerly South America) is governed by women who nurture the Earth with mestizo knowledge. Invading armies of men threaten their peaceful existence due to outdated extractive economies. Gege becomes crucial in the conflict, joining a group of young warriors to uncover the enemy's leaders. With Ena, the future leader of the Southern Globe and Gege's love interest, they embark on a dangerous mission dragged as men. Tragedy strikes when Gege's teacher is killed, fueling suspicions of a traitor. As they journey through Central America towards the Caribbean, they liberate cities and face perilous landscapes. As they reach Florida and then New York with the help of an underground organization, Gege discovers Ena's identity as a trans woman, who has travel to undergo sex change. In love, Gege supports Ena, but soon learns Ena's family is responsible for her teacher's death. Driven and confused, Gege ventures alone to the enemy's stronghold, enduring torture and uncovering shocking truths about her own identity: her mother, the leader who liberated the Southern Globe came from across the Atlantic and was betrayed by Ena’s mother, the current leader. Gege escapes with unexpected help from Ena and her surviving teacher, unleashing her latent powers to eliminate the enemy. She sets sail across the Atlantic to explore her ancestral roots, entrusting Ena with leading the Southern Globe.

Eines Tages sitzt ihr ein neuer Kollege gegenüber. Vollendet lässig und mit einer feuerroten Vespa vor der Tür. Nach einigen weinseligen Abenden, einem Trip nach Cannes und Hunderten SMS ist es um Monica geschehen: große Gefühle! Doch als völlig unerwartet eine Andere hinter ihm auf dem Roller sitzt, steht sie im Regen. Fest entschlossen, der Sache – sich, ihm, dem Beziehungsscheitern – auf den Grund zu gehen, begibt sie sich auf eine abenteuerliche Spurensuche, durchforstet Pariser Gassen nach dem roten Roller, ihren Posteingang nach Zeichen, die elterlichen Fotoalben nach ihrer Vorgeschichte, sie konsultiert halbseidene Wahrsager und tote Schriftsteller. Und ganz plötzlich ist Monica dem Rätsel der Liebe auf der Spur.

This volume is the first English-language collection exclusively dedicated to the study of genre in relation to Spanish cinema. Providing a variety of critical perspectives, the collection gives the reader a thorough account of the relationship between Spanish cinema and genre, drawing on case studies of several of the most remarkable Spanish films in recent years. The book analyses the significant changes in the aesthetics, production and reception of Spanish film from 1990 onwards. It brings together European and North American scholars to establish a critical dialogue on the topics under discussion, while providing multiple perspectives on the concepts of national cinemas and genre theory. In recent years film scholarship has attempted to negotiate the tension between the nationally specific and the internationally ubiquitous, discussing how globalisation has influenced film making and surrounding cultural practice. These broader social concerns have prompted scholars to emphasise a redefinition of national cinemas beyond strict national boundaries and to pay attention to the transnational character of any national site of film production and reception. This collection provides a thorough investigation of contemporary Spanish cinema within a transnational framework, by positing cinematic genres as the meeting spaces between a variety of diverse forces that necessarily operate within but also across territorial spaces. Paying close attention to the specifics of the Spanish cinematic and social panorama, the essays investigate the transnational economic, cultural and aesthetic forces at play in shaping Spanish film genres today.

It is an accepted convention that non-health sector policies and strategies impact on population health. An instrument and approach, Health Impact Assessment (HIA), seeks to assess the health impacts of projects, programmes and policies in a systematic way. The ultimate goal of HIA is to inform public policy processes of these impacts. This book provides for the first time an analysis of how and why HIAs informed local policy development in both jurisdictions on the island of Ireland. An original theoretical framework was used as the analytical lens for this exploration, drawing from the fields of political and social sciences, and public health. The HIA projects were conducted on traffic and transport, Traveller accommodation, urban redevelopment and air quality. This conceptually-grounded guide draws from the disciplines of the political and social sciences and public health, and will appeal to academics, students and practitioners in these fields as well as policy-makers and planners at local and national government levels. ;
