My Word is Mighty
The Power of Healing with Strengthening and Protecting Words Shamans in indigenous communities and healing practitioners in our culture work with word magic and magic words. Behind the ritual words in spells, invocations, prayers and chants there are often hidden powers. The word is embodied thought, which becomes action in the word and creates reality. How important it is to become aware of the effect of words is also shown by the dark side of word magic: harm spells, harm words in medicine, verbal beatings in education and bullying. Based on more than thirty years of experience in shamanic work, Nana Nauwald shows practical ways to healing, strengthening and protecting words and rituals that everyone can use in everyday life and for their own ritual work.

Touch Hunger
Touch hunger: The feeling when the skin craves touch. Just as the stomach craves food and the lungs crave air, the skin needs pleasant touch. This book is about the connection between caressing, cuddling and mental health. How does the biology behind it work? Why is touch such a taboo? What happens when there is a chronic lack of cuddling? And most importantly, what can be done about it? Cuddle therapy is being studied as a solution to some of our civilization diseases (depression, burn-out, loneliness). What does it do, and whom can it help? Help yourself is the best motto. That's why in this book you'll find instructions and suggestions for self-cuddling when your skin is hungry again.
The Age of Fitness
We live in the age of fitness. Hundreds of thousands of people run marathons and millions go jogging in local parks, work out in gyms, cycle, swim, or practice yoga. The vast majority are not engaged in competitive sport and are not trying to win any medals. They just want to get fit. Why this modern preoccupation with fitness? In this new book, Jürgen Martschukat traces the roots of our modern preoccupation with fitness back to the birth of modern societies in the eighteenth century, showing how the idea of fitness was interwoven with modernity’s emphasis on perpetual optimization and renewal. But it is only in the period since the 1970s, he argues, that the age of fitness truly emerged,...
Quote, Double Quote
The boundary between ‘high’ culture and ‘popular’ culture is neither hermetic nor stable. A wide-spread mechanism of a reception strongly influenced by structuralism and post-modernism has led to the amplification and acceleration of cultural production between these two poles. Relying on a decidedly theoretical approach, this volume offers a broad perspective transgressing linguistic, cultural, temporal, and media borders. Reflections and perspectives on the relationship between ‘high’ and ‘popular’ culture are the subject of the thirteen articles collected here. Side by side with theoretical approaches, case studies covering classical and Heavy Metal music, TV series and pornographic films, zombies and ‘Creature Features’, philosophically infused comics and popular lexicography, professional wrestling and hypertext literature pave the way to a contemporary aesthetics.
Krankenhaus im Ausverkauf
Stoppt das Krankenhaussterben! Krankenhäuser in Deutschland und Europa sind längst zum Spekulationsobjekt international agierender, privater Klinikkonzerne geworden. Die Folge: Die Konzerne erzielen Renditen aus dem solidarischen System unseres Gesundheitswesens. Thomas Strohschneider war selbst jahrelang als Chefarzt in einer privatwirtschaftlich geführten Klinik tätig. In seinem Buch zeigt er aus eigener Erfahrung und an zahlreichen Beispielen, welche erschreckenden Auswirkungen dieser Prozess auf Patienten, Ärzte und alle in Krankenhäusern Tätigen hat, wie diese Entwicklung die Medizin als Heilkunst abschafft und die ärztliche Profession bedroht.
