        Hide and Seek with Death.

        by Anna Yamchuk, Anna Tarnovetska, Natalia Herasym, Mykola Kushnir

        The plot is based on the real-life stories of four witnesses of the Holocaust, who experienced it as children. Elements of a graphic novel are used to reflect the drama of the events in the book. To better understand all the nuances of this difficult topic, young readers are assisted by special guides (through the pages of the book), whose roles are played by real-life people Erika Grigorchuk and Oleksiy Fisyuk. The guides are young men and women currently living in a town of Chernivtsi, where the historical events took place. A large group of editors and illustrators worked on the book, and famous Chernivtsi artist Anna Tarnovetska is among them.

        Die Gute Gesellschaft

        Soziale und demokratische Politik im 21. Jahrhundert

        by Christian Kellermann, Henning Meyer

        Als Ferdinand Lassalle im Mai 1863 den Allgemeinen Deutschen Arbeiterverein gründete, tat er dies noch in einer anderen Welt. 150 Jahre später kann die deutsche Sozialdemokratie große Erfolge vorweisen. Angesichts der Globalisierung, Individualisierung und des Wandels der Arbeitswelt steht sie jedoch vor komplexen Herausforderungen, für die sie überzeugende Antworten entwickeln muss. In diesem Band denken kluge Köpfe aus Wissenschaft und Politik darüber nach, wie eine »Gute Gesellschaft« heute aussehen könnte und auf welchen Wegen sie sich realisieren lässt. Mit Beiträgen von Sebastian Dullien, Colin Crouch, Andrea Nahles, Julian Nida-Rümelin, Gesine Schwan u. v. a.

        Little People, Big Dreams. Deutsche Ausgabe | Kinderbuch ab 4 Jahre

        by María Isabel Sánchez Vegara, Sue Downing, Svenja Becker

        Anna ist acht Jahre alt, da nimmt sie die Mutter zum ersten Mal ins Theater mit. Das St. Petersburger Ballett tanzt Dornröschen. Danach steht für Anna fest: Sie will zur Bühne und Tänzerin werden. Mit zehn wird sie in die Theaterakademie aufgenommen. Aber die kleine, zierliche Anna wird von den Mitschülerinnen gehänselt, ihre Arme seien zu lang, die Füße krumm. Sie trainiert hart, und an der Seite des legendären Rudolf Nurejew wird sie zu einer der berühmtesten und erfolgreichsten Primaballerinen, die nicht nur die Opernhäuser der Welt für sich einnimmt, sondern mit ihrer Ausstrahlung auch ganze Fußballstadien füllt. Unsterblich ist ihr Tanz-Solo als „sterbender Schwan“. Little People, Big Dreams erzählt von den beeindruckenden Lebensgeschichten großer Menschen: Jede dieser Persönlichkeiten, ob Philosophin, Forscherin oder Sportler, hat Unvorstellbares erreicht. Dabei begann alles, als sie noch klein waren: mit großen Träumen.

        Women, men and the representation of women in the British Parliaments

        Magic numbers?

        by Anna Manasco-Dionne

        This is the first book to consider the difference women MPs make for women constituents in Britain by comparing women parliamentarians' activities, priorities and perceptions to those of their male colleagues. It uncovers complicated gender dynamics that have been neglected in other works because of an exclusive focus on the activities of women MPs, and mounts a systematic challenge to the idea that a critical mass of women is necessary for women's presence to matter. By comparing the representation received by women from a parliament with few women to that received from a parliament with many women, Anna Dionne leads the reader to understand why numbers are not magic. Her empirical research includes interviews with over eighty parliamentarians in London, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and the amassing of an unprecedented and comprehensive database of representatives' legislative activities. She compares how men and women and different political parties introduce and support bills and motions, ask parliamentary questions, participate in committee and floor debates, and work behind the scenes for cross-party consensus and on constituency casework. The analysis considers gender similarities and differences throughout the policy process and explains the gender dynamics with a new sensitivity to their fluctuation. ;
