by Hickes, Phil
Schaurig schön und echt gruselig: die Abenteuer von Aveline! Der Wind pfeift durch die Ritzen und jede Diele knarzt: Avelines neues Zuhause ist ihr auf den ersten Blick gar nicht geheuer. Dass die Einwohner des stürmischen Küstenörtchens überall Vogelscheuchen aufstellen, macht es nicht besser. Einfach. Nur. Gruselig!

Perfekt ist für stürmische Herbstabende: zum gemütlichen Einkuscheln, Schmökern und Gruseln! Wunderschön und stimmungsvoll illustriert von Kaja Reinki. Mit Aveline Jones geht es immer schön schauerlich weiter! Band 2 „Aveline Jones - Im Bann der Hexensteine“ erscheint im Frühjahr 2021.

Children's & YAApril 2020Greta’s Voice
by Ged Umlimi / Amelina Jones
Very few people had the courage and the chance to change the course of events in history. Ghandi was one of them. Rosa Parks was another. But for the first time, a teenager stood up. Greta Thunberg started with small steps, sitting in front of the Swedish Parliament and later skipping schools on every Friday in order to demand action on climate crisis. In time, she inspired millions of young people and adults around the world to take to the streets to demand the same. Greta’s Voice is the real story of the 16-year-old climate activist, a story that will give hope to people of all ages and prove to children that they don’t need to wait becoming a grown up to make a difference. Greta’s is a story of persistence and inspiration, a wake up call for us all. We hope we will stop the climate crisis altogether

May 1981Die Religionen der Vorgeschichte
Paläolithikum. Aus dem Französischen von Michael Bischoff
by André Leroi-Gourhan, Michael Bischoff
Die Religiosität der prähistorischen Menschen war und ist ein beliebter Tummelplatz für Spekulationen. Die Dürftigkeit der überkommenen Spuren hat stets dazu verleitet, die Lücken mit Phantasie oder ethnographischen Versatzstücken zu stopfen. Dabei ist ein fester Bestand wissenschaftlicher Folklore entstanden, der wechselnden Interessen und Beweisnöten nur allzu willfährig entgegenkommt. »So scheint es unerläßlich«, schreibt Leroi-Gourhan in der Einleitung zu seinem Buch, »einmal aufs genaueste zusammenzustellen, was wir wissen und was wir uns bei den Australiern und Feuerländern zusammengesucht haben; wir müssen den bunten Mantel der Knochenkulte, der Geisterfallen, der befruchtenden Ahnen, der magischen Verhexungen, der Initiationstänze und des Totemismus zerreißen, damit wir sehen, ob, wenn der Mantel fällt, dahinter ein lebendiger und denkender Mensch zum Vorschein kommt oder nur ein paar zerstreute Knochen.« In dieser Absicht untersucht Leroi-Gourhan die materiellen Spuren – und nur solche hatten die Chance zu überdauern –, die aus dem Paläolithikum überkommen sind, und die Interpretationen, die daran geknüpft wurden. Fast all diese Interpretationen erweisen sich in dieser Analyse als haltlos oder als eine von mehreren plausiblen, aber nicht begründbaren Möglichkeiten. Das Inventar gesicherten Wissens, das Leroi-Gourhan hier zu erstellen sucht, fällt so dürftig aus wie die fossilen Knochenreste; es belegt jedoch auch, daß die Menschen des Paläolithikums ein komplexes Denken besaßen, das über die unmittelbaren Erfordernisse des materiellen Lebens hinausging, und daß sie es verstanden, diesem Denken in Bildern, Gravuren und Plastiken Ausdruck zu verleihen.

Children's & YABelieve me, I'm Not an Egret!
by Hossein Ghorbani
This story is a recreation of a fable originally written in “Kalila and Demna”, an ancient book with Indian roots. In the original story, an old egret tricks the fish into thinking that they are being taken to a safe lake, but they are in fact becoming the egret’s food. Until one day, the crab also asks the egret to take him to the lake and sees the remaining fish bones while riding on his back. He then returns and informs the others. “Believe Me, I’m not an Egret!” is a parody of the original fable, encouraging the children to think about and question what they hear.
