Sagen & Märchen als Weggefährten
Die Sommerausgabe 2020 >Sommersonne widmet sich einigen wichtigen HEILKRÄUTERN unserer Altvorderen & ihrer mythologischen Bedeutung. Behandelt werden u.a. die Pflanzen Distel, Gänseblümchen, Gundermann, Hirtentäschel, Johanniskraut, Knoblauchsrauke, Löwenzahn, Storchenschnabel & nicht zuletzt der Wegerich. Wir gehen den Fragen nach, ob Pflanzen ein geheimes Innenleben, quasi eine Seele haben (wie u.a. Wohlleben & Storl behaupten) & weshalb oft exakt jene Pflanzen unmittelbar vor unserer Haustür wachsen, die wir zum Gesundwerden brauchen! Dabei kommen nicht nur eine Vielzahl von Sagen & unsere eigenen Erlebnisse mit Heilkräutern zur Sprache, sondern auch die langjährige Berufserfahrung zweier wahrer Kräuterhexen! Neben unzähligen Kräutersagen, werden dem Leser kleine Achtsamkeitsübungen, heilsame Gedanken & altüberlieferter Rezepte dargestellt. Diese Ausgabe ist damit eine wundervolle Ergänzung zu unserem Buch Kräutersagen aus dem Harz! - Sagen & Märchen als Weggefährten
Sagenhaftes Bad Suderode
Den Sagenschatz von Bad Suderode habe ich in der ersten Auflage vor genau 10 Jahren herausgegeben. Es ist eine Liebeserklärung an meine Großmutter Ida Brunner (die mir viele Geschichten erzählte) und ebenso an meinen Heimatort. Da ich noch immer Sagen, Märchen und Anekdoten hinzugewinne, meine antiquare Buchsammlung stetig wächst und ich viele Stunden und Tage im Gespräch mit Einheimischen war, hat sich die Sammlung hiesiger Geschichten seit 2013 fast verdoppelt, weshalb mir diese Neuauflage ein Herzensanliegen war. Bad Suderode, einer der ältesten Kurorte unseres Landes, fasziniert und heilt seine Besucher seit fast 200 Jahren, einmal durch die frische Harzer Bergluft, dann durch sei...
Sagenhafte Sagensammler
Einige Sagen aus dem Harz sind deutschlandweit bekannt. Aber wer war es, der sie zuerst sammelte und niederschrieb? Viele der vor einhundert Jahren überregional bekannten Sagensammler sind heute fast vergessen. Freilich, die Gebrüder Grimm kennt jeder; von Bechstein, Grässe und Pröhle hat man vielleicht noch in Fachkreisen gehört; aber Nolte, Hauer und Nachtigall ..., wer soll das denn sein? Sagen und Märchen sind nicht altbacken, sondern aktueller denn je. Sie zu erzählen, gehört heute zum "Immateriellen Weltkulturerbe". Deshalb widmen sich noch heute viele Sammler und Erzähler diesem Thema. Selbstverständlich, denn auch heute geschehen noch sagenhafte Dinge, die lohnen, aufgeschr...
The Hammock: A Novel Based on the True Story of French Painter James Tissot
THE HAMMOCK: A novel based on the true story of French painter James Tissot portrays ten remarkable years in the life of James Tissot (1836-1902), who rebuilt - and then lost - his reputation in London. THE HAMMOCK is a psychological portrait, exploring the forces that unwound the career of this complex man. Based on contemporary sources, the novel brings Tissot's world alive in a story of war, art, Society glamour, love, scandal, and tragedy.
Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
Academic Discourse and Critical Consciousness
This collection of essays traces the attempts of one writing teacher to understand theoretically - and to respond pedagogically - to what happens when students from diverse backgrounds learn to use language in college.Bizzell begins from the assumption that democratic education requires us to attempt to educate all students, including those whose social or ethnic backgrounds may have offered them little experience with academic discourse. Over the ten-year period chronicled in these essays, she has seen herself primarily as an advocate for such students, sometimes called "basic writers."Bizzell's views on education for "critical consciousness," widely discussed in the writing field, are repr...
Fetal and Neonatal Lung Development
Lung disease affects more than 600 million people worldwide. While some of these lung diseases have an obvious developmental component, there is growing appreciation that processes and pathways critical for normal lung development are also important for postnatal tissue homeostasis and are dysregulated in lung disease. This book provides an authoritative review of fetal and neonatal lung development and is designed to provide a diverse group of scientists, spanning the basic to clinical research spectrum, with the latest developments on the cellular and molecular mechanisms of normal lung development and injury-repair processes, and how they are dysregulated in disease. The book covers genetics, omics, and systems biology as well as new imaging techniques that are transforming studies of lung development. The reader will learn where the field of lung development has been, where it is presently, and where it is going in order to improve outcomes for patients with common and rare lung diseases.

Pattern Design
Throughout history, patterns have come in countless permutations of motif, colour-way and scale. Yet what all have in common is the regularity of repetition, that insistent rhythm that animates a flat surface with a sense of movement and vitality and gives it depth. Evident in the arrangement of petals on a flower head, the branching growth of stems and vines, the spirals of a seashell - pattern is inherent in the natural world that surrounds us. Powerful and transformative, pattern has an irrepressible joie de vivre. With more than 1,500 illustrations of patterns from all ages and cultures, Pattern Design is a visual feast. This comprehensive compendium is arranged thematically according to type, with chapters on Flora, Fauna, Pictorial, Geometric and Abstract designs. These broad categories are supplemented by in-depth features highlighting the work of key designers from the rich history of pattern-making - such as William Morris, Sonia Delaunay, Charles and Ray Eames, Lucienne Day and Orla Kiely - along with sections detailing the characteristic motifs of key period styles from Baroque to Art Deco.
Alpha Boys School
Facing a life of poverty, neglect, abandonment and even homelessness, young Jamaican boys are placed in a disciplinarian Catholic boarding school. With a rigorous musical training program overseen by an eccentric jazz-loving nun, the young virtuoso graduates of Alpha Boys' School went on to change the shape of music forever. It's the 1950s in Jamaica and a musical revolution is brewing. People all over Kingston dance nightly to vast outdoor sound systems blasting American rhythm and blues records across the shanty towns. In the hotels and theaters big bands are playing jazz and calypso. Street musicians are playing home-grown folk music called mento. Out of this musical stew, Jamaica will so...
