Número de Páginas: 351

Gabrielle Andrews est une mécanicienne engagée dans l’armée américaine depuis plusieurs années. Basée en Corée du Sud, elle répare et vérifie les avions de l’US Air Force avant qu’ils ne partent en vol. Indépendante et sans attache, la militaire n’a pas pour habitude de se laisser marcher sur les pieds. Lorsqu’un jour, la personne du courrier lui dépose pour la première fois une lettre à son nom, elle se souvient vaguement d’avoir accepté de participer à un programme de correspondance. Hospitalisée depuis de longues semaines à la suite d’un drame, Anna est abattue par la situation. Quand son psychologue lui laisse le choix entre rédiger un journal intime ou entamer une relation épistolaire pour se reconstruire, la jeune femme de vingt et un ans n’hésite pas une seconde. À sa plus grande surprise, écrire à une inconnue devient très vite la bouffée d’air frais qui manquait à son quotidien. D’échanges de lettres en confidences, Gaby et Anna se découvrent et se rapprochent, sans attentes ni préjugés.

How to Be Love(d)

Autor: Humble The Poet

Número de Páginas: 337

The last book on love you’ll ever need. Explore simple truths for going easier on yourself, embracing imperfections and loving your way to a better life through insightful stories and down-to-earth advice from artist and international best-selling author of Unlearn, Humble The Poet. We all want love, everything we do is in pursuit of that love, but that journey has gotten difficult and complicated. We’re programmed to seek love outside of ourselves, and we’re trained to love as something to earn, or a destination to reach; that programming blinds us to the simple truth that we are beautiful, eternal sources of love, and to BE LOVED is to BE LOVE. This book is a guide to self-love that helps to clear the blockages on your path inward towards love and throw away old ideas that prevent us from realizing the love we’ve always had. Clear away the misguided notion that you must be ENOUGH before you are worthy of love—you are worthy. Clear away the expectations for love you have learned from the media—love is messy and real, not "happily ever after." Clear away your lack of self-awareness—see yourself for who you truly are. Instead of earning more, achieving more, and...

Gelingende Geburt

Gelingende Geburt

Autor: Olivia Mitscherlich-schönherr , Reiner Anselm

Número de Páginas: 337

Was kennzeichnet eine gelingende Geburt und welche Zugänge sind geeignet, um diese Frage zu beantworten? Schien es in der klassischen Moderne lange Zeit so, als könne die medizinische Geburtshilfe hier als Leitdisziplin fungieren, so sind in der reflexiv gewordenen Moderne von verschiedenen Fachrichtungen Zweifel an einem solchen Selbstverständnis angemeldet worden. Kritisiert wird dabei etwa die Ausblendung des spezifischen, uneinholbar subjektiven Erlebenskontextes der Schwangeren, problematisiert wird ein Zugriff, der über präskriptiv-normative Zugangsweisen Kriterien für eine gelingende Geburt vorgeben möchte. Kontroversen ergeben sich zudem aus der Professionenkonkurrenz zwischen Hebammen, Ärztinnen und Ärzten. Umstritten ist weiterhin die Bedeutung der Geburt als Statusübergang, eine Frage, die durch die erweiterten Möglichkeiten pränataler Diagnostik ihre Dringlichkeit gewinnt: Begründet erst die Geburt ein eigenständiges Lebensrecht? Schließlich steht zur Debatte, welche Anhaltspunkte sich für eine Ethik der Elternschaft aus dem spezifischen Geschehen von Schwangerschaft und Geburt ableiten lassen. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes loten in interdisziplinärer...

Autor: Humble The Poet

Fedezd fel a szeretethez vezető legegyszerűbb és legrövidebb utat, hiszen a szeretet benned lakozik, te magad vagy! Mindannyian szeretetre vágyunk, és minden tettünknek ez a mozgatórugója. Ahogy azonban a like-okat számolgatjuk a közösségi médiában, és a bankszámlaegyenlegünkkel mérjük saját értékünket, arra programozzuk magunkat, hogy a szeretetet ki kell érdemelnünk, vagy el kell nyernünk. Ez a beidegződés elhomályosítja azt az alapigazságot, hogy mi magunk vagyunk a szeretet végtelen és örök forrása. Ahelyett, hogy a külvilágban kutatnánk utána, nekünk kell azzá válnunk. „A szeretetet nem kell kiérdemelni vagy keresni, csak észre kell venni.” Humble the Poet őszinte, közvetlen és inspiráló gondolatainak segítségével megtalálhatjuk az utat a mindannyiunkban ott rejlő, eredendő szeretet és önértékelés felé. Univerzális útmutató ez, ami minden oldalról és szögből megvizsgálja, mi is a szeretet, és miként élhetjük meg igazán ezt az érzést. Fedezd fel az egyszerű igazságokat, amelyekkel elnézőbbé válhatsz magaddal szemben, elfogadhatod a hibáidat, a tökéletlenségedet, és megtanulhatod...

Music Camp

Music Camp

Autor: Penny Tangey

Número de Páginas: 179

Miley and Juliet have nothing in common, apart from a love of music. Miley lives in a caravan because she lost her home in a flood, so she's excited to win a scholarship to attend the five-day Music Camp. This is her chance to prove to everyone that the recorder is a serious musical instrument. Flautist Juliet comes from classical music royalty. Her late father was an esteemed clarinet player and she wants to honour his legacy. She's also keen to make friends with people who don't know about her tragic past – though perhaps not with that girl who thinks the recorder is a serious musical instrument. Over the week, Miley and Juliet don't always see eye to eye, especially when they both audition for the only woodwind solo at the final night's concert. But with torrential rain threatening to flood the camp, their dreams might get washed away. Can they put their differences aside and face the music together?

A Guide to American Crime Films of the Forties and Fifties

Autor: Larry Langman , Daniel Finn

Número de Páginas: 416

The only comprehensive guide to the crime films of the forties and fifties, this volume focuses on the major events that shaped and molded the genre: war, alienation, drugs, and organized crime. The body of the work offers over 1,200 entries that feature concise summaries, analyses, and credits. The volume is a continuation of the author's earlier work, A Guide to American Crime Films of the Thirties (Greenwood, 1995). The book includes those stars that the public had already embraced as gangsters in the thirties such as James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, and Edward G. Robinson and brings them into a new era in which they are transformed into enforcers of the law. This work will be of interest to scholars, students, and film buffs alike. The work demonstrates the shift from the simpler gangster modes of the 1930s as it takes the reader forward to the more sophisticated films of the late fifties. Although the book is organized alphabetically, the introduction alerts the reader to the major social phenomena that influenced the genre of these decades. Also offered are credits that cover titles, release dates, distributors, directors, screenwriters, and major players. The 1,200 entries...

Almost from the moment of its creation in 1906, Ontario Hydro has been criticized for pursuing its own interests at the expense of the public it was established to serve.

Movements and Parties

Movements and Parties

Autor: Sidney Tarrow

Número de Páginas: 592

How do social movements intersect with the agendas of mainstream political parties? When they are integrated with parties, are they coopted? Or are they more radically transformative? Examining major episodes of contention in American politics – from the Civil War era to the women's rights and civil rights movements to the Tea Party and Trumpism today – Sidney Tarrow tackles these questions and provides a new account of how the interactions between movements and parties have been transformed over the course of American history. He shows that the relationships between movements and parties have been central to American democratization – at times expanding it and at times threatening its future. Today, movement politics have become more widespread as the parties have become weaker. The future of American democracy hangs in the balance.

Willful Defiance

Autor: Mark R. Warren

Número de Páginas: 353

The story of how Black and Brown parents, students and members of low-income communities of color organized to dismantle the school-to-prison pipeline in their local schools and built a movement that spread across the country.In Willful Defiance, Mark R. Warren documents how Black and Brown parents, students, and low-income communities of color organized to dismantle the school-to-prison pipeline in their local schools and built an intersectional movement that spread across the country. Examining organizing processes in Mississippi, Los Angeles, Chicago, and other localities, he shows how relatively small groups of community members built the power to win policy changes to reduce suspensions and expulsions by combining deep local organizing with resources from the national movement. As a result, over the course of twenty years, the movement to combat the school-to-prison pipeline resulted in falling suspension rates across the country and began to make gains in reducing police presence in schools, especially in places where there have been sustained organizing and advocacy efforts.In documenting the struggle organizers waged to build national alliances led by community groups and...
