Death on Pause (based on actual events: 2006-2007)
When the beautiful Taiwanese model Kaelyn Yen is drugged and held captive by the manager of one of America's most coveted modelling agencies, she realises the recent deaths of her sister, mother, and father were not accidents, but meticulously planned events initiated by her Triad-affiliated relatives. Soon after, the Mafia assumes control, and Kaelyn's boyfriend joins forces with the FBI to bring her extortionists to justice. However, not all schemes go according to plan. What begins as a routine kidnap and rescue soon escalates into an international pursuit through the streets of Los Angeles, San Francisco, Taipei, and Hong Kong. It leads to the torture and murder of Kaelyn's two best friends, and causes the FBI's key witness to commit suicide just weeks before she is due to give evidence in court. Spanning the globe from America to Asia, and set amidst a backdrop of Hollywood glitz-and-glamor, mixed cultures, and criminal activity, Death on Pause is a riveting crime/thriller based on a real person's living nightmare and the events that have since dominated her once blessed and envious life.
Therapie unter Zwang - ein Widerspruch?
Sind Verhaltenstherapie und Zwang - wie immer wieder behauptet - unvereinbar? Schliessen sich Freiheitsentzug und Beziehungsarbeit gegenseitig aus? Endet die Unterbringung von Kindern und Jugendlichen in geschlossenen Heimen sogar in der Deformation ihrer Personlichkeit? In der Kinder- und Jugendhilfe werden diese Fragen seit Jahrzehnten mit immer wieder wechselnden Vorzeichen heftig diskutiert. Nur auf wissenschaftlich belastbare Daten kann sich eigentlich niemand berufen. Bernhard Stadlers empirisch fundierte Studie zu dieser Thematik schliesst damit eine Forschungslucke und widerlegt so manches Vorurteil. Am Beispiel des Madchenheims Gauting und seiner Arbeit mit dissozialen Madchen zeigt er, in welchen Fallen freiheitsentziehende Massnahmen in der Jugendhilfe helfen konnen und wo nicht. Er bezieht dazu subjektive Einschatzungen der Jugendlichen und ihrer Betreuer ebenso ein wie Testergebnisse, Interviews und die Diagnosen eines externen Instituts.

Security and Environmental Change
In the early years of the new millennium, hurricanes lashed the Caribbean and flooded New Orleans as heat waves and floods seemed to alternate in Europe. Snows were disappearing on Mount Kilimanjaro while the ice caps on both poles retreated. The resulting disruption caused to many societies and the potential for destabilizing international migration has meant that the environment has become a political priority.The scale of environmental change caused by globalization is now so large that security has to be understood as an ecological process. A new geopolitics is long overdue. In this book Simon Dalby provides an accessible and engaging account of the challenges we face in responding to se...
