        The Bathroom Chronicles

        100 Frauen. 100 Bilder. 100 Geschichten

        by Friederike Schilbach, Lena Dunham, Sheila Heti, Erica Jong, Leanne Shapton, Niklas Maak

        Das Badezimmer ist vielleicht der letzte private Ort, an den wir uns zurückziehen können. Es ist der Raum für Ruhe und Intimität – und insbesondere für eine Frau der Ort, wo sie ihre Schönheitsgeheimnisse verbirgt und sich jeden Tag aufs Neue verwandeln kann. Jetzt gewähren hundert Frauen einen Einblick in ihre geheimnisvollen Kammern. Die Idee zu diesem Buch kam der Herausgeberin Friederike Schilbach auf einer Ferienreise: »Ich besuchte eine Freundin in Apulien und bemerkte, dass ihr Badezimmer ihrem Charakter ähnelt: luftig, minimalistisch, schön. Ehe ich abreiste, bat ich sie um ein Foto davon sowie um einige Sätze dazu.« Daraus wurde ein ganzes Projekt. Friederike Schilbach fragte Schauspielerinnen wie Lena Dunham, die Schriftstellerinnen Erica Jong und Lily Brett und zahlreiche weitere Frauen, ob sie einen Blick in ihr Badezimmer preisgeben würden. 2016 wurde eine Ausstellung daraus, über die es in der FAS hieß, man würde die Fotos »am liebsten alle zusammen in einem Bildband mit nach Hause nehmen«. Der liegt nun vor. Hundert Frauen teilen darin intime Momente und persönliche Erinnerungen, die zum Nachdenken anregen – und zum Verschenken.

        Delphine über den Dächern

        Ein Ballettroman aus Paris

        by Odette Joyeux, Hildegard Lest, Polina Semionova

        »Beide wollen die Hauptrolle. Doch nur eine wird sie bekommen …« Die verträumte Delphine wächst bei ihrer verwitweten Mutter auf, die viele Opfer bringt, damit ihre Tochter Ballett tanzen darf. Ganz anders Julie: Die Tochter aus reichem Hause ist verzärtelt, stets von sich überzeugt und Liebling ihrer Lehrerin. Beide besuchen die Ballettklasse der Pariser Opera Garnier und bekommen die Chance, an der Seite des umschwärmten Solisten Ivan Barlof die Galatea zu tanzen. Als Delphine die Rolle ergattert und Julie nur zweite Besetzung wird, sinnt sie auf Rache und stellt der arglosen Delphine eine Falle, die alles verändern wird … Seit Generationen lieben Mädchen und ihre Mütter die Geschichte der kleinen Pariser Elevin Delphine und ihrer Widersacherin Julie. Die Autorin – einst selber Ballettschülerin an der Opera Garnier – gewährt einen realistischen Einblick in die häufig romantisierte, in Wahrheit recht unbarmherzige Welt des klassischen Balletts. Und berührt gleichsam die universellen Themen an der Schwelle zum Erwachsenwerden: Leistungsdruck, Versagensangst, das wechselhafte Gefühl zum eigenen Körper oder der Wunsch, sich zu behaupten. Das wahrscheinlich schönste Ballettbuch aller Zeiten – endlich neu aufgelegt! Illustriert von Leanne Shapton.

        Golden Thread

        How consistent culture creates purposeful people and high performance

        by Leanne Hamley

        The Golden Thread is a blueprint for authentic organizational culture: what it is, what it isn't, why it matters, and how to build it. If you are passionate about creating an environment where people thrive, you’ll understand the value of real engagement and values alignment. But how do you make it happen? Consciously or not, company culture runs like a golden thread through any organization, and where it is not thoughtfully nurtured it unravels - leaving a toxic environment filled with bureaucracy, politics and poor mental health. The Golden Thread guides business leaders through this concept – exploring cultural diagnostics and revealing what they really mean. This book will show you how to design and develop your own target culture, one that is right for your people and business. It then takes you step by step through the employee lifecycle, helping you to weave your new cultural and values through everything to build a happy, healthy, high performing organization. Leanne Hamley is an experienced leader and business coach specializing in behavioural change , leadership development and organizational culture.

        A Short History of the Blockade

        Giant Beavers, Diplomacy, and Regeneration in Nishnaabewin

        by Leanne Betasamosake Simpson

        In A Short History of the Blockade, award-winning writer Leanne Betasamosake Simpson uses Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg stories, storytelling aesthetics, and practices to explore the generative nature of Indigenous blockades through our relative, the beaver—or in Nishnaabemowin, Amik. Moving through genres, shifting through time, amikwag stories become a lens for the life-giving possibilities of dams and the world-building possibilities of blockades, deepening our understanding of Indigenous resistance as both a negation and an affirmation. Widely recognized as one of the most compelling Indigenous voices of her generation, Simpson’s work breaks open the intersections between politics, story, and song, bringing audiences into a rich and layered world of sound, light, and sovereign creativity. A Short History of the Blockade reveals how the practice of telling stories is also a culture of listening, “a thinking through together,” and ultimately, like the dam or the blockade, an affirmation of life.

        by Trish Jensen

        They tried to resist each other, but it was impossible. Soon their passions were unleashed, and their self-control went to the dogs . . .

Jake and Muffin have to attend a two-week therapy course designed to work out any bonding issues they may have. Enter Leanne Crosby, a pet shrink and owner of a luxury pet spa complete with private counseling sessions, a doggie dating service, and plenty of quirky advice on proper pet parenting.

        Bach Perspectives, Volume 13

        Bach Reworked

        by Edited by Laura Buch

        Scholars and performers have long noted J. S. Bach's abundant use of parody procedures, that is, the reworking of pre-existing material from his own compositions or from other sources. Laura Buch edits essays that reconsider parody, transcription, and adaptation in the sphere of the composer. The contributors delve into works of eighteenth-century composers from Bach himself to C. P. E. Bach and J. C. F. Fischer. But they also cast a wider net, investigating early twentieth century reworkings by Ferruccio Busoni and the ways Bach's music cross-pollinates with contemporary composer-performers John Lewis and the Modern Jazz Quartet, and keyboardist Bernie Worrell and Parliament-Funkadelic. The diverse contexts illuminate a broad range of techniques, from structural scaffolding and contrapuntal elaboration to integration with stylistic languages far removed from the Baroque.   Contributors: Stephen A. Crist, Ellen Exner, Moira Leanne Hill, Erinn E. Knyt, and Markus Zepf

        Pre-teen and Teenage Pregnancy

        A Twenty-first Century Reality

        by June L. Leishman

        Childhood and teenage pregnancy continues to pose significant social and health concerns within the UK and beyond. It is an issue that has implications for individuals across a range of professions and disciplines. This book is written for nurses, midwives, doctors, social workers and teachers, as well as students of sexual and reproductive health and welfare. It highlights some of the issues faced by sexually active young people and those who work with them. It will also be useful to general readers with a broad interest in the area, or the topic of particular chapters, which are structured to allow readers to 'dip into' topics as necessary. However we would encourage readers to read the book as a whole for a broader understanding of the issues. Contents include: The range and scope of early age sexual activity A child of our time Adolescent risk-taking in sexual behaviours Pharmacological contraceptive prescribing for young people Promoting sexual health in primary schools Leanne: A snapshot of teenage sexual experience Local initiatives: A sexual health doctor's experience The future's fine - or is it?

        Culture of Ambiguity

        Implications for Self and Social Understanding in Adolescence

        by Bosacki, S. L.

        Research shows that the ability to "read others" or to make sense of the signs and symbols evident in human communication has an influence on children's self-conceptions and their social interactions in childhood and adolescence. Given that psychological explanations play a key role in teaching and learning, further research is required, particularly on adolescents within the school context. This book investigates which aspects of these discourse experiences foster the growth of understanding of spirit, emotion, and mind in adolescence. Accordingly, from a co-relational approach to the development of understanding mind and education, this book builds on past and current research by investigating the social and emotional antecedents and consequences of psychological understanding in early adolescence. Specifically, this book explores the question: How do adolescents use their ability to understand other minds to navigate their relationships with themselves and their peers within the culture of ambiguity? To address this question, this book critically examines research on adolescents’ ability to understand mind, emotion, and spirit, and how they use this ability to help them navigate their relationships within the school setting. This book might appeal to a variety of educators and researchers, ranging from early childhood educators/researchers to university professors specializing in socioemotional and spiritual/moral worlds of adolescents. Sandra Leanne Bosacki completed her PhD in Education at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto, Canada. Currently an Associate Professor in the Graduate and Undergraduate Department of Education at Brock University, St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada, she teaches graduate courses in Developmental Educational Psychology and Educational Research. Her teaching and research interests include sociocognitive, emotional, moral, and spiritual development within diverse cultural and educational contexts. She is a contributing associate editor of the International Journal of Children’s Spirituality and is the author books The Culture of Classroom Silence and the Emotional Lives of Children (2005; 2008, Peter Lang). She has published research papers in the Journal of Educational Psychology, the Journal of Early Adolescence, Social Development, and Gender Roles: A Journal of Research. She currently resides in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

        The Wedding Gift

        by Kathleen McKenna

        Leann wasn’t good enough for her upper-crust in-laws, so they gave her the mansion none of them wanted. Years ago, something or someone in the house killed Leann’s brother. Will its violent secrets kill her next? “ . . . a spine-electrifying supernatural tale where a huge Southern States mansion contains one of the most terrifying, violent and indeed psychopathic ghosts to haunt any town. It is also a murder mystery—why did Robina Willets apparently kill all five of her young children, and her husband, before stabbing herself to death? And, if you are in the camp of believing that 'Justice . . . just is not,' then this will have you frothing at the mouth with righteous social fury.” —Tim Roux, author of Missio and The Dance of the Pheasodile Kathleen McKenna is a former adolescent social worker who holds a degree in Sociology. She is from Alaska and, after relocating to New Mexico, began writing. An admitted aficionado of a good scary tale, she began The Wedding Gift following a visit to New Orleans, where she saw a beautiful antebellum house and began imagining what if there were a beautiful young girl from the wrong side of the tracks who married her way in and then what if there was already a ghost there . . . . She shares her home in New Mexico with a morbidly obese, alcoholic Old English Sheepdog and is presently working on a new novel.

        SELF-ish: A Transgender Awakening

        by Chloe Schwenke

        SELF-ISH IS A NARRATIVE DRAWN FROM AN INTERNATIONAL LIFE, beginning with some early glimpses out at the world by a girl in a boy’s body. Chloe was raised as Stephen in a Marine Corps family and was sent off at age 14 to “man up” at a military academy. Later—and still embodied as a man—she ventured abroad to work in some of the roughest regions of Africa, the Gaza Strip, Turkey, and many other locales. Her far-flung global journey was matched in intensity by an inner identity and spiritual struggle and the associated ravages of depression, before she came to the revelation of being a transgender woman. At a time when many Americans are just waking up to the reality of the transgender phenomenon, this portrayal of Chloe’s life, her challenging gender transition, and her many accomplishments and adventures along the way (including being among the first three transgender political appointees in U.S. history, under President Obama), creates a poignant story of authenticity, self-discovery, and the meaning of gender set against a fascinating international backdrop.
