        My Life with Lifers

        by Elaine Leeder

        My Life With Lifers Lessons For A Teacher: Humanity Has No Bars "I have always been drawn to darkness," Elaine Leeder writes. "I know I always championed the underdog." As a sociology professor at Ithaca College in the 1990s, she began teaching at Elmira Correctional Facility in upstate New York. When she moved to California, that same desire to help led her to the prison education program at San Quentin. Then, inspired by her lessons, a group of Leeder's students approached her about working with a program the prisoners had established to aid in their long and difficult process of redemption and transformation. She accepted. These members of New Leaf on Life-the San Quentin "lifers"-have been sentenced to terms ranging from fifteen years to life in prison. Unlike Death Row inmates, who will either die in prison or be executed, many of the lifers are eligible for parole after having spent twenty to thirty years behind bars. But too often, they never see that opportunity because of the popular view that they are all "hardened criminals," killers incapable of rehabilitation and unfit to be free. What Leeder has learned, however, is that incarceration does not dictate character. Her students, although they are convicts, are committed to making their time in jail a life sentence in the best sense, not a death sentence. They have gone the extra mile to come to terms with their crimes, and have often managed to redeem their lives. My Life With Lifers shares the journey of a woman "on the outside" as she discovered the true nature of life in prison, and the roadblocks-so many of them unneeded-on the inmates' path to freedom. What Leeder's experiences add up to is both a fascinating human story and a reasoned and impassioned case for prison reform.

        Feline Reproduction

        by Aime Johnson, Michelle Kutzler

        Cats are one of the most popular pets in the world, and as homes become smaller, and single-person households become more common, it is predicted that the numbers being bred and kept will only grow. In Feline Reproduction, the global author team cover all aspects of reproduction in the queen and the tom. Beginning with basic anatomy and normal reproduction, it goes on to cover practical knowledge about pregnancy, neonatal care, breeding soundness exams, and semen cryopreservation. It also includes an overview of factors, diseases, and abnormal conditions affecting reproduction, such as infertility, causes of abortion and contraception. Covering both pet patients and nondomestic species, this book provides a thorough grounding in feline reproduction for the general veterinary practitioner, veterinary student, animal scientist, and experienced cat breeder.

        Schöne alte Welt

        Ein praktischer Leitfaden für das Leben auf dem Lande

        by Tom Hodgkinson, Anita Krätzer

        »Glauben Sie niemandem, der sagt, es sei einfach, Gemüse anzubauen. Das ist eine dreiste Lüge.« Tom Hodgkinson erzählt vom Leben auf dem Land: Er hält Hühner, Schweine und Kaninchen, und seine Frau Victoria versucht sich als Imkerin, backt Brot und stampft Butter. Sie brauen mieses Bier und machen köstlichen Holunderlikör. Tom Hodgkinson ist kein „Zurück-zur-Natur“-Guru. Er gibt zu, dass das einfache Leben manchmal sehr kompliziert ist. Aber es verheißt trotzdem all das, wovon die meisten Menschen träumen: weniger Routine, weniger Konsum, weniger Müll, mehr Sinn, mehr Spaß, mehr Lebenslust. »Schöne alte Welt« ist ein Buch über die Kunst der praktischen Lebensführung – für alle, die Haus und Garten haben oder davon träumen.

        Anleitung zum Müßiggang

        by Tom Hodgkinson

        Ein Lob auf die Faulheit, die Muße und die Individualität und ein praktischer Ratgeber darüber, den Müßiggang in den Alltag zu lassen. In seinem unterhaltsamen Bestseller spricht sich der britische Kultautor Tom Hodgkinson für mehr Genuss, Gelassenheit und Müßiggang im Leben aus. Er gibt zu, dass es gar nicht so einfach ist, sich Oasen des bewussten Nichtstuns zu schaffen und sich vom Moment verführen zu lassen. Aber man muss sich nicht schuldig fühlen, wenn man sich mittags ein Bad gönnt, anstatt die Steuererklärung zu machen. Alles zu seiner Zeit. Mit der für ihn typischen Mischung aus Humor, enzyklopädischem Wissen und Zitaten verführt Hodgkinson den Leser, die Zwänge des Lebens nicht mehr allzu ernst zu nehmen und die Schönheiten des Lebens mehr zu genießen.

        Romania and the European Union

        How the weak vanquished the strong

        by Tom Gallagher

        According to Tom Gallagher, Romania's predatory rulers, the heirs of the sinister communist dictator Ceausescu, have inflicted a humiliating defeat on the European Union. He argues convincingly that Brussels was tricked into offering full membership to this Balkan country in return for substantial reforms which its rulers now refuse to carry out. This book unmasks the failure of the EU to match its visionary promises of transforming Romania with the shabby reality. Benefiting from access to internal reports and leading figures involved in a decade of negotiations, it shows how Eurocrats were outwitted by unscrupulous local politicians who turned the EU's multi-level decision-making processes into a laughing-stock. The EU's famous 'soft power' turned out to be a mirage, as it was unable to summon up the willpower to insist that this key Balkan state embraced its standards of behaviour in the political and economic realms. The book unravels policy failures in the areas of justice, administrative and agricultural reform and shows how Romania moved backwards politically during the years of negotiations. ;

        CO2 - World Without Tomorrow

        by Roth, Tom

        CO2. A WORLD WITH NO TOMORROW is a fast-paced science thriller. For this story, Tom Roth takes movements such as Fridays for Future and the increasingly radical protests for climate change as his inspiration and point of departure. It seems that increasing numbers of people see themselves justified in resorting to radical measures in their efforts to save the planet and the future of humanity (children). And for the first time in history, the movement is emanating primarily from children and young people – whose future is at stake. Twelve children from twelve nations are kidnapped. They’ve been participating in a climate camp in Australia. From now on, one child will die every week unless the international community meets certain demands of the kidnappers for climate protection. As mankind waits with bated breath in anticipation of the first ultimatum expiring, the governments of the countries concerned are fighting over solutions. It soon becomes clear that this race is about much more than the lives of individuals, and that time knows no mercy. A topical issue of our times, highly emotional For readers of Marc Elsberg and Andreas Eschbach English outline and sample translation available

        Satin Island

        Roman | Werden die besten Gegenwartsdiagnosen in den mächtigen Finanzzentren erstellt?

        by Tom McCarthy, Thomas Melle

        Im Bauch eines Glas- und Stahlbaus verfasst der promovierte Ethnologe U. auf internen Memos eines weltweit tätigen Beratungsunternehmens den »Großen Bericht«: Diese universale Gegenwartsdiagnose soll Trends und Tendenzen aufspüren, denn nur wer die Menschen versteht, kann sie zu Konsumenten machen. Den einen Bericht über diese Welt zu schreiben, in der man sich chronisch zwischen zwei Orten befindet, erweist sich jedoch als knifflig. Zumal die Geschichte sich zu schnell fortschreibt – und wer sie mitschreibt, kann sie nicht gleichzeitig erfassen. Als Forscher und Gegenstand zu verschwimmen und die allumfassende, sinnstiftende Erzählung zu scheitern drohen, eröffnet ein Traum von einer apokalyptischen Stadtlandschaft samt gigantischer Müllverbrennungsanlage neue Perspektiven. Werden die besten Gegenwartsdiagnosen in den mächtigen Finanzzentren erstellt? Tom McCarthy unternimmt nichts Geringeres als den Versuch, unsere Zeit zu vermessen – und bringt dabei eine ihrer tiefenschärfsten Analysen hervor!

        Liebesgedichte

        by Nicolas Born, Tom Schulz

        "Es ist Sonntag/die Mädchen kräuseln sich und Wolken/ziehen durch die Wohnungen –". Nicolas Born (1937-1979) zählt heute zu den bedeutendsten Schriftstellern der deutschen Nachkriegsliteratur. Mit seinen Gedichten erregte er Anfang der siebziger Jahre Aufmerksamkeit. Er hatte sich auf den Weg gemacht über die konkrete Alltäglichkeit hin zu einer Schule der lyrischen Empfindsamkeit, die in seinen Gedichten einen neuen Ausdruck fand. Seine Gedichte wollen berühren, ohne sich aufzudrängen, sie sind eine zärtliche Geste, ein lässiger Wink. Das Thema der Liebe bleibt bei Born nie nur ein Gegenstand des Privaten, sondern es sucht die Idee der Gemeinschaft, die Vision einer solidarischen Gesellschaft. Es sucht nach dem Verhältnis von Mensch, Tier und Natur – zueinander und miteinander. In einem Nachwort zu Gedichten ihres Vaters schrieb Katharina Born: "Alle Gedichte meines Vaters sind Liebesgedichte." Die schönsten und trefflichsten hat der Lyriker Tom Schulz für diesen Band ausgewählt.
