Darf ich das?
"Aufmerksam für die eigenen Bedürfnisse zu bleiben, ist ein lebenslanger Prozess. Was wir vor allem brauchen, ist: Zeit. Für das, was wachsen will." Darf ich während eines Meetings kurz den Raum verlassen, um einen Moment durchzuatmen? Darf ich mein Kind etwas später aus dem Kindergarten abholen, um noch in Ruhe in einem Café zu sitzen? Was darf ich eigentlich? Und wenn ich es nicht weiß – wer sagt es mir dann? Während Babys durch Schreien klarmachen, dass etwas nicht stimmt, verlernen wir häufig im Laufe unseres Lebens die Fähigkeit, Unwohlsein oder Bedürfnisse klar zu äußern. Stattdessen hetzen wir im Alltag von einem To-do zum nächsten, im sicheren Glauben, es allen recht machen zu müssen. Auf uns selbst vergessen wir dabei fast immer. Vivian Mary Pudelko ermutigt mit einer Extraportion positivem Denken und Optimismus dazu, unerschrocken zu erkunden, was wir wirklich brauchen. Ob das nun eine Mütze voll Schlaf, eine Runde Tanzen oder einfach der Biss in eine saftige Semmel ist, lassen Sie es zu! Denn die Erlaubnis, uns etwas Gutes zu tun, ist der Schlüssel zu einem liebevollen, fürsorglichen und umsichtigen Umgang mit uns selbst.
Brownshirt Princess
"Princess Marie Adelheid of Lippe-Biesterfeld was a rebellious young writer who became a fervent Nazi. Heinrich Vogeler was a well-regarded artist who was to join the German Communist Party. Ludwig Roselius was a successful businessman who had made a fortune from his invention of decaffeinated coffee. What was it about the revolutionary climate following World War I that induced three such different personalities to collaborate in the production of a slim volume of poetry -- entitled Gott in mir -- about the indwelling of the divine within the human? Lionel Gossman's study situates this poem in the ideological context that made the collaboration possible. The study also outlines the subsequent life of the Princess who, until her death in 1993, continued to support and celebrate the ideals and heroes of National Socialism"--Publisher's description.
Vivian Maier: The Color Work
The first definitive monograph of color photographs by American street photographer Vivian Maier. Photographer Vivian Maier’s allure endures even though many details of her life continue to remain a mystery. Her story—the secretive nanny-photographer who became a pioneer photographer—has only been pieced together from the thousands of images she made and the handful of facts that have surfaced about her life. Vivian Maier: The Color Work is the largest and most highly curated published collection of Maier’s full-color photographs to date. With a foreword by world-renowned photographer Joel Meyerowitz and text by curator Colin Westerbeck, this definitive volume sheds light on the nature of Maier’s color images, examining them within the context of her black-and-white work as well as the images of street photographers with whom she clearly had kinship, like Eugene Atget and Lee Friedlander. With more than 150 color photographs, most of which have never been published in book form, this collection of images deepens our understanding of Maier, as its immediacy demonstrates how keen she was to record and present her interpretation of the world around her.
Research Handbook of Expatriates

The coverage of the history, construct, milieu, research methodologies, and issues i...
Music as Therapy
The thesis put forward in this book is that a dialogical perspective as found in the work of Martin Buber can be used as a frame for conceptualizing music-centered music therapy--or rather, for music as therapy, which is the term used here. Some might claim there is no such thing as "music as therapy," and that the only real therapy is some already established mode of therapy in which music plays a subordinate part (i.e., "music in therapy). In this book, the attempt is to show a different picture, one which includes also the possibility of music as therapy, that is to say, therapy based on qualities of the medium itself. A particularly much-debated issue has been whether verbal processing is necessary for actual therapy to take place. This book presents and discusses some of the crucial issues involved, and develops a theory to bring out potentials of an experiential, transformative music therapy, in which verbal processing, talking cure style, is not necessarily incorporated. Examples are given of improvisational music therapy, community-oriented practices, and receptive, listening-based music therapy.

Heart of Thorns
Inventive and heart-racing, this fierce feminist teen fantasy from debut author Bree Barton explores a dark kingdom in which only women can possess magic—and every woman is suspected of having it. Fans of Leigh Bardugo and Laini Taylor won’t want to miss this gorgeously written, bold novel, the first in the Heart of Thorns trilogy. In the ancient river kingdom, where touch is a battlefield and bodies the instruments of war, Mia Rose has pledged her life to hunting Gwyrach: women who can manipulate flesh, bones, breath, and blood. The same women who killed her mother without a single scratch. But when Mia's father announces an alliance with the royal family, she is forced to trade in her knives and trousers for a sumptuous silk gown. Determined to forge her own path forward, Mia plots a daring escape, but could never predict the greatest betrayal of all: her own body. Mia possesses the very magic she has sworn to destroy. Now, as she untangles the secrets of her past, Mia must learn to trust her heart…even if it kills her.
Self-Mediation
Blogs, You Tube, citizen journalism, social networking sites and museum interactivity are but a few of the new media options available for ordinary people to express themselves in public. This intensely technological presentation of everyday lives in our public culture is today hailed as a new, playful form of citizenship that enhances democratic participation and cosmopolitan solidarity. But is this celebration of self- mediation justified or premature? Drawing on a view of self-mediation as a pluralistic practice that potentially enhances our democratic public culture but which is, at the same time, closely linked to the monopolistic interests of the market, this volume critically explores...
