Wanderlust: A Mountain Pasture in the Swiss Alps
A young, successful woman wants out - out of her hectic city life and into the quiet life on an alp in the Swiss mountains. Over three summers, Katharina Afflerbach learns what it means to lead a life determined by animals, physical labor and wind and weather: milking goats at half past five in the morning, bringing cattle to pasture, making cheese, mowing hay and felling trees. From sunrise to sunset there is work to do, everyone must be able to rely on each other, and work and life go hand in hand. While the pull of the mountains has Katharina firmly under control, she loses her little brother in a tragic accident three weeks before her third summer in the Alps. Between mountain and valley she seeks and finds comfort in nature, with the animals and the close, cordial alpine community. She comes back strengthened, with a new view of her life and her future. This is a book that encourages you to break new ground and discover exciting sides to yourself.

Counterfactualism in the Fine Arts
Counterfactual thinking has become an established method to evaluate decisions in a range of disciplines, including history, psychology and literature. Elke Reinhuber argues it also has valuable applications in the fine arts and popular media. A fascination with the path not taken is a logical consequence of a world saturated with choices. Art which provokes and explores these tendencies can help to recognise and contextualise the impulse to avoid or endlessly revisit individual or collective decisions. Reinhuber describes the term in broad strokes through the disciplines to show how counterfactualism finds shape in contemporary art forms, especially in photography, film, and immersive and i...
Bergsommer
Eine junge, erfolgreiche Frau steigt aus – raus aus dem Großstadtleben, rauf auf eine Alp in den Schweizer Bergen. In drei Sommern erfährt Katharina Afflerbach, was es heißt, ein Leben zu führen, das von Tieren, körperlicher Arbeit und von Wind und Wetter bestimmt wird: morgens um halb sechs Ziegen melken, Rinder auf die Weiden führen, Käse machen, Heu mähen und Bäume fällen. Von Sonnenauf- bis Sonnenuntergang gibt es zu tun, alle müssen sich dafür aufeinander verlassen können, und Arbeit und Leben gehen Hand in Hand. Während der Sog der Berge Katharina fest im Griff hat, verliert sie drei Wochen vor ihrem dritten Alpsommer ihren kleinen Bruder durch einen tragischen Unfall. Zwischen Berg und Tal sucht und findet sie Trost in der Natur, bei den Tieren und der engen, herzlichen Alpgemeinschaft. Sie kommt gestärkt wieder, mit einem neuen Blick auf ihr Leben und ihre Zukunft. Ein Buch, das Mut macht, neue Wege zu gehen und dabei aufregende Seiten an sich zu entdecken.
Living Better with Low Back Pain
Low back pain affects nearly everyone and has become an increasingly frustrating dilemma. People with back pain have been taken through a well-meaning, yet ineffective medical system and emerge no better, and in many cases worse. This does not have to be. We can do better. This book seeks to clarify the historical back pain enigma and dispel the myths around common diagnoses and treatments. The reader will gain insight into back pain and reassurance that there is a better way. Suggestions for patients and clinicians are given in a practical, simple way to improve care and their back pain. This book does not promise a miracle cure, but instead presents the most recent medical research in a clearly digestible manner. The reader will be reassured, entertained, and sent on their way to a healthier life, and a better back.
Mark Kimber
This work encapsulates the photographic career to date of Mark Kimber, whose track record as an artist has its origins in the early 1980s when, only one year after graduating from art school, six of his prints were collected by the Art Gallery of South Australia.

Sport Skill Acquisition
"This textbook considers three theoretical approaches to skill acquisition exploring how these different approaches can be used separately or in a blended form, which the authors term Professional Judgement and Decision Making (PJDM), or the "It Depends" approach. The mental, organizational, planning, and social aspects of skill are discussed, along with practical guidance on how skill can best be planned for, developed, executed, and integrated"--
Human/Animal Relationships in Transformation
The ethics of human/animal relationships is a growing field of academic research and a topic for public discussion and regulatory interventions from law-makers, governments and private institutions. Human/animal relationships are in transformation and understanding the nature of this process is crucial for all those who believe that the enlargement of moral and legal recognition to nonhuman animals is part of contemporary moral and political progress. Understanding the nature of this process means analysing and critically discussing the philosophical, scientific and legal concepts and arguments embedded in it. This book contributes to the discussion by bringing together the ideas and reflections of leading experts from different disciplinary backgrounds and with a range of scientific perspectives. This book both provides an up-to-date examination of the transformation of human/animal relationships and presents ideas to foster this process.
