Driving Hungry
Adrift in Buenos Aires, Layne Mosler was hungry—for an excellent (and cheap) meal, for a great story, for a new direction. A chance recommendation from a taxi driver helped her find all these things, and sparked a quest that would take her to three cities, meeting people from all walks of life, and finding an array of unexpected flavors. A story about following your passion, the pleasures of not always knowing your destination, and the beauty of chance encounters, Driving Hungry is a vivid, and inspiring, read from first to last.

It describes the impact of the Indian rights movement on world politics, from reforming the United Nations to evicting foreign oil companies, and analyzes the impact of these human rights experiences for all of Latin America's indigenous citizens and native people throughout the world.

Wunderkiste
Kunst des Lebens heißt nicht Rückzug aufs Angenehme, in die Wohlfühlzonen, die Idylle, um, einmal drinnen, die Tür zu verriegeln und die bunte Welt nur über Bildschirm zu erfahren. Man muss schon auch selbst ein bunter Vogel sein oder werden, sich schon öffnen, etwas riskieren, sich am Leben messen, auch wenn das weh tut oder gar Entbehrungen mit sich bringt. Also: offen bleiben, ohne die Freude am Leben unter schwerem Problembewusstsein zu begraben. Der Band enthält daher neben heiteren, ernsten und bissigen Spruchweisheiten für das kleine Lachen zwischendurch, neben Geschichten und Gedichten vor allem auch eigens für dies Buch ver-fasste Essays und philosophische Betrachtungen, di...
