        We present to you a rhino that actually once circled the earth in the spaceship, an artist cat from Paris known by everyone, the adventures, and wanderlust of a tiny house, and love stories kissed by the sun... Curious? If you are looking for children's books with a universal message of hope and connectedness, we'd love the opportunity to meet with you. Inner Flower Child Books is a children's book publisher founded in California in 2012 by the creative team of author Susan Schaefer Bernardo (M.A. English Languages and Literature, Yale University) and illustrator Courtenay Fletcher (BFA Advertising/Graphic Design, Art Center College of Design). These artists and their team produce profound, touching, and humorously inspiring books that have become very successful in the US. With wittiness, humor, and intelligence — with rhymes at times — they create stories that promote children's language and social capabilities development. Partly because of that, Susan’s and Courtenay's picture books are used nationwide by schools, children's charities, therapists, and families across the United States to help children and youth heal from problems, large and small. At a time when the whole world is being hit by the trauma of a pandemic, books such as “Sun Kisses and Moon Hugs” bring children and young people a comforting message of love and connection. The colorfully illustrated and inspiring picture books contain generally assignable topics such as healing trauma, bringing people closer to living a sustainable life, and the power of creative expression — predestined to be successful worldwide. (Speaking of worldwide distribution: one of Susan’s and Courtenay's books, “The Rhino Who Swallowed The Storm” was sent to the International Space Station to orbit the planet — and was read aloud by astronaut Kate Rubins as part of the innovative “Story Time From Space” program and broadcasted! Apart from that, “The Rhino” was also promoted by former, then-incumbent First Lady Michelle Obama and present presidential candidate Joe Biden. For more information, please visit our website!). All Inner Flower Child Books titles are currently only published in the United States. Susan and Courtenay are therefore pleased to be able to offer publication and subsidiary rights on all other world markets for the first time.

        Joe Biden's America

        Introduction to a divided country

        by Roland Benedikter

        — "A precise, analytical insight into the phenomenon Trump." (Anton Pelinka, Central European University Budapest) — "An introduction to the contemporary US." (Heinrich Neisser, Jean Monnet Chair of European Integration, University of Innsbruck) — "Refreshingly different." (Herbert Dorfmann, Member of the European Parliament) Joe Biden's America is deeply divided. Donald Trump's term in office made many problems of modern US society visible, which Biden now has to solve. What do American politics look like under Joe Biden? What legacy did Donald Trump leave behind, and what kind of impact does it have? How can the deeper causes, factors and drivers of current US developments be put in a historical context? Roland Benedikter provides a thorough insight into a complex country. In a compact and comprehensible way, he explains the background, challenges and perspectives of the Biden era, while also providing an overview of the current state of US society and culture in general. His analysis is suitable for teaching, decision-makers and civil society as an introduction to today's USA.

        Purity

        by Ruth Miguel Franco

        "Home: the traveller flees from one and seeks it in everything. Some call 'home' a dish with familiar flavours, or a hot tea, or a mission, or found beauty. Those of us who seek purity, on the other hand, keep silent and grit our teeth". A physical, emotional and cultural journey through the surroundings of a city besieged by imposing mountains. It is also the chronicle of a foretold end: that of a winter in Innsbruck. After hours on trains and planes, Ruth Miguel Franco closes the door of the of her room and bolts it. Then, she wanders around her new temporary home in search of flat landscapes and washed-out buildings. "Nature doesn't move me. I generally find it boring or threatening. It makes me uncomfortable. I only look for the work of man; it doesn't move me either, but in front of it I can think". The author, with a brutally honest voice, explores the surroundings of a city that was bombed in more than twenty occasions in less than a year and a half. With echoes of W. G. Sebald and his astonishment at the lack of it in Germany's historical memory, Purity offers us an uncomfortable but necessary journey. A booktrailer is available here.

        Christian Democracy and the Fall of Communism

        by Michael Gehler, Piotr H. Kosicki, Helmut Wohnout (eds)

        The role of Christian Democracy in the collapse of the Communist Bloc Debates on the role of Christian Democracy in Central and Eastern Europe too often remain strongly tied to national historiographies. With the edited collection the contributing authors aim to reconstruct Christian Democracy’s role in the fall of Communism from a bird's-eye perspective by covering the entire region and by taking “third-way” options in the broader political imaginary of late-Cold War Europe into account. The book’s twelve chapters present the most recent insights on this topic and connect scholarship on the Iron Curtain’s collapse with scholarship on political Catholicism. Christian Democracy and the Fall of Communism offers the reader a two-fold perspective. The first approach examines the efforts undertaken by Western European actors who wanted to foster or support Christian Democratic initiatives in Central and Eastern Europe. The second approach is devoted to the (re-)emergence of homegrown Christian Democratic formations in the 1980s and 1990s. One of the volume’s seminal contributions lies in its documentation of the decisive role that Christian Democracy played in supporting the political and anti-political forces that engineered the collapse of Communism from within between 1989 and 1991.Contributors: Andrea Brait (University of Innsbruck), Alexander Brakel (Konrad Adenauer Foundation, Israel), Ladislav Cabada (Metropolitan University Prague), Giovanni Mario Ceci (Università degli Studi Roma Tre / IES-Rome), Kim Christiaens (KU Leuven), Michael Gehler (University of Hildesheim), Thomas Gronier (UMR SIRICE), Piotr H.

        The Reason We Remain

        by Marlen Pelny

        This novel begins with the murder of 14-year-old Etty – and ends with it, too. Just the way that for Heide, Etty’s mother, life is over to a certain extent but, at the same time, beginning again anew. Because: it’s governed by a new rhythm. From now on, Heide will always be half composed of her missing daughter. From now on, her existence will centre on the question of how to go on living. How to get out of bed each day. How to go on living in the apartment that was also Etty’s home. How to remember her laugh, her cheeky answers, her delicate facial features without falling apart. The people Heide can rely on for support are her closest friends. And us. With impressive precision, Marlen Pelny portrays violence where it actually happens: in our immediate vicinity. Writing with clarity but not voyeurism, unsparingly yet not brutally, she tells a finely drawn, complex story of loss and solidarity, of grief and love – of an aftermath. In the end, we are united. In the end, we are many. In the end, this novel is a linguistically powerful revolt: against fatal injustices. Against the violence we encounter on a daily basis and which we try to survive.

        Vanish Among You

        by Gudrun Lerchbaum

        Maria removes the pillow from her dead mother’s face. Finally, she is no longer needed. But when doubts are raised about the cause of death and Maria becomes afraid that she might be blamed for her mother’s demise, she vanishes. She leaves everything behind: her life, her home . . . her own identity. Maria works under various names in various places, but one thing remains constant: freedom is unattainable. Maria is dependent on other people and their decisions. And, for their part, those other people ruthlessly exploit her vulnerability. Maria often chooses the path of least resistance, tries to conform . . . until one day, she’s had enough. Gudrun Lerchbaum sweeps us along on a fast-paced journey into the fate of women who go unseen. She has us really feel Maria’s fluctuation between passivity and a radical unleashing, between the helplessness and simmering fury born of injustice.

        40 Easy Recipes to Make Cheese at Home

        by Marlene Kelnreiter

        Just give up the city life and the office job and spend some time in the alps instead? Does it work, does it make everything better? Is time spend in a remote mountain hut a kind of therapy? Does it change you, or something, and if so, how? Marlene Kelnreiter answers these questions in the form of her field reports – the beautiful photographs that were taken to accompany Kelnreiter's alpine summers allow readers to immerse themselves deeply in the melancholy of her diary-like stories. And even if you don't get alp grass under your feet yourself straight away, this book leaves you with the feeling of a short, mental exit from everyday life. And it certainly makes you want to try it all out for yourself. "Every summer, Marlene Kelnreiter moves from the city to the mountains to turn dreams into reality and, above all, milk into cheese. Instructed in the craft of cheese making by expert dairymen, Marlene now indulges in the joy of coagulation of the white gold even in winter and away from the alpine cheese dairies. Wild fermentation can also be used to produce natural, delicious and healthy dairy products at home. In this book, the author shares the knowledge she has acquired so far and gently wields the whisk with you to turn fresh milk into delicious cream cheese, and more!"

        The Wizard of Cobenzl

        by Bettina Balàka

        It is the year 1844, and Carl Ludwig Friedrich, Baron of Reichenbach, is possessed by an insatiable desire for knowledge. Where others have fallen under the spell of the moon, he is unrelenting in his search for confirmation of his hypothesis: namely, the existence of ‘od’. The one all-pervading substance that slumbers inside people and nature until it pushes its way to the surface. Baron Reichenbach is a first-class upstart, climbing the ladder that promises fame and fortune. He worked hard to achieve his nobleman’s title, castle and renown. But, plagued by setbacks, he is used to the scaffolding of his existence constantly threatening to collapse. From Stuttgart to Moravia via Blansko, fate has brought him and his two daughters, Hermione and Ottone, to Vienna, to Cobenzl Castle. Here, Baron Reichenbach embarks on his quest for ‘od’, supported by Hermione who, like her father, has dedicated herself to research. His experiments with ‘sensitives’ are designed to prove what Baron Reichenbach already knows to be true. But in Cobenzl Castle, things come to a head. Will he be able to prove the eternal doubters wrong? Will he be able to make peace with his daughters, who don’t subscribe to all their father’s wishes? Will he succeed in rising once again?

        I think of you constantly with love

        by Alfred Schmidt

        “It is the mark of a true love that one thinks of what the other person suffers. For he suffers too, is also a poor devil.” Wittgenstein wrote this down in a notebook in August 1946. The "true love" he had in mind was the one he felt for Ben Richards, a student at King's College, Cambridge, whom he had met towards the end of 1945. Wittgenstein had been in love several times before, but as this moving and fascinating collection of letters demonstrates, his relationship with Richards was special. Not only was it the last love of his life, it was also the happiest. In personal letters, Ludwig Wittgenstein writes about his relationship with Ben Richards.

        The Heart of Cocoa

        500 Years of Chocolate History

        by Napoleone Neri

        The temptation par excellence, that craving that suddenly arises and we cannot fight it unless we satisfy it: the desire for chocolate. Perhaps it is because of this power that it is called the most loved food on the planet. Or perhaps it is because its cultivation, production and consumption - which has been growing strongly in the last 10 years - are spread across all continents. Napoleon Neri tells its story, starting with the plant and its fruit, from the pioneers of chocolate, to the birth of confectionery factories in the 19th century and then the great modern industries. He describes in detail the processing and transformation of cocoa beans, their beneficial properties, the sensory characteristics of the finished product, and spices everything up with a thousand anecdotes and curiosities that only those who have lived and worked in this world for so long can know.
