The book uses a case-study approach to consider individuals’ entire crime pat...

Birth Control

Modern medicine should make pregnancy and childbirth safer for all. But in Birth Control, award-winning journalist Allison Yarrow reveals how women are controlled, traumatized, injured, and even killed because of the traditionalist practices of medical professionals and hospitals.

Nooit genoeg
In Nooit genoeg beschrijft de bekroonde journalist Jennifer Breheny Wallace de huidige prestatiecultuur en geeft ze tips en adviezen over wat we anders zouden kunnen doen. Op basis van bijna zesduizend gesprekken – met gezinnen, psychologen en leerkrachten – laat Wallace zien dat de druk om te presteren vaak niet alleen vanuit ouders komt. Die druk zit diepgeworteld in onze samenleving en wordt aangewakkerd door de toenemende inkomens- en kansenongelijkheid. Hierdoor hebben jongeren steeds vaker het gevoel dat ze móéten presteren, een boodschap die door sociale media ook nog eens wordt versterkt. Dat moet anders! Nooit genoeg is een belangrijk en herkenbaar boek dat aan de hand van persoonlijke verhalen krachtige handvatten biedt voor positieve verandering. ‘Dit boek zal voor veel ouders een eyeopener zijn – en een confrontatie. Belangrijk is ook dat het vol oplossingen zit.’ Emily Oster, New York Times-bestsellerauteur ‘Een noodzakelijk perspectief op het belang van aandacht en “ertoe doen”.’ Angela Duckworth, auteur van De Grit-factor
Fliegender Drache
Ich schreibe über Piraten, es gibt sie auch heute noch, und ich hatte sie als ungebetene Gäste zwei Mal an Bord. Ich schreibe über den Sklavenhandel, auch den gibt es noch. In Thailand kann ich mir auch heute noch ein Mädchen kaufen. Ich bestelle es mir einfach über den Schiffshändler und er wird liefern, Kostenpunkt ca. 10.000 USD mit Rückgaberecht. Ich will die Welt nicht verändern, ich will nur in ihr leben und sie er1eben. Ich liebe die See, die scheinbare Endlosigkeit der Ozeane, die Verlockung die hinter jedem Horizont liegt, die Endlosigkeit der Reise. Die Seefahrt kennt kein Ziel. Es gibt immer nur Zwischenziele. Die Faszination liegt in der Reise selbst, die mich immer weiter kreuz und quer über den Globus führt. Ich glaube, daß ich die Gabe habe, unsere Welt mit offenen Augen zu sehen und zu erleben, im Gegensatz zu vielen Menschen, die scheinbar blind durch die Gegend laufen.
