        Our original card sets are a way for any parent to play and interact with their child in a way that stimulates learning, improving cognitive skills and, perhaps more importantly, create a positive parent-child relationship. With the Carrot Cards both the parent and the child are engaged in an activity and they explore, learn, try, and experience together. We create every card set with a goal to make it as useful as possible, combining pedagogy and psychology, as well as aesthetics, creative writing and original concepts. Thus, allowing every child who opens a box of Carrot cards to experience a whole new learning experience. We have thousands of parents using the cards all over the world, sharing the excitement of learning and being curious together with their children. While striving to give more and more parents the opportunity to support their children’s development, we have also been recognized as a trustworthy partner for almost any kind of professionals working with children. From pre-school teachers to therapists, hundreds of experts use our cards in classrooms, offices, at presentations or as home assignments daily. Our contribution to early childhood development and our role as a supporter for parents were recognized in 2018 when we were selected as “Champions of Change” by the Reach for Change Foundation – Bulgaria, and we have been a part of the Reach for Change Global Network ever since.

        Reflexionen über die Universalgrammatik

        by Helen Leuninger

        Noam Chomskys Buch »Reflexionen über die Sprache« (= stw 185) stellt eine Zusammenfassung der sprachphilosophischen Kontroverse zwischen Empirismus und Rationalismus und zwischen Semantik und Pragmatik dar. Es präsentiert aber auch einen neuen Entwicklungsstand in der Kontroverse darum, ob die Syntax unabhängig von der Semantik operieren kann. Chomsky führt in diesem Buch die bereits 1973 in den »Conditions of Transformation« entwickelte Spurentheorie ein und motiviert diese sowohl aus empirischen Gründen der Sprachbeschreibung als auch mit kognitiven Argumenten sowie mit Beobachtungen aus dem Prozeß des Spracherwerbs. Diese Theorie stellt eine starke Revision der bekannten Annahmen Chomskys dar. In den »Reflexionen über die Sprache« liefert Chomsky sozusagen »nur« den konzeptuellen Rahmen der neuen Spurentheorie. Helen Leuningers Arbeit diskutiert nun die methodologischen und empirischen Fragen, die sich aus dieser neuen Theorie ergeben, und stellt sie in den forschungs- und wissenschaftsgeschichtlichen Zusammenhang, aus dem sie entstanden sind.

        Pulp

        Reading popular fiction

        by Scott McCracken

        Pulp brings together in one volume chapters on the best seller, detective fiction, popular romance, science fiction and horror. It combines a lucid and accessible account of the cultural theories that have informed the study of popular fiction with detailed readings of Jackie Collins, Jilly Cooper, Colin Dexter, William Gibson, Stephen King, Iain Banks, Terry McMillan and Walter Mosley. Scott Mc Cracken argues that popular fiction serves a vital function: it provides us with the means to construct a workable sense of self in the face of the disorientating pressures of modernity. ;

        Der große Gatsby

        by Francis Scott Fitzgerald, Reinhard Kaiser

        New York in den 'Goldenen Zwanzigern': Man tanzt Charleston und Black Bottom und begeistert sich für Duke Ellington und Louis Armstrong. Der geheimnisumwitterte Jay Gatsby hat alles, was man mit Geld kaufen kann, und führt ein Leben im Überfluß. Die rauschenden Feste auf seinem märchenhaften Anwesen auf Long Island sind berühmt und ein beliebter Treffpunkt der New Yorker High-Society. Dennoch ist Gatsby ein Einzelgänger, der zurückgezogen lebt. Niemand weiß etwas über seine Herkunft oder welchen dubiosen Geschäften er seinen Reichtum verdankt. Die Geschichte von Jay Gatsby, dem einsamen Millionär, der seiner längst verlorenen Liebe nachjagt, ist einer der größten und meistgelesenen Klassiker der amerikanischen Literatur. F. Scott Fitzgerald, der Dichter der 'Roaring Twenties', erzählt von der Glamourwelt der Reichen und von der Oberflächlichkeit und Sinnlosigkeit des mondänen Lebens. In der glanzvollen Neuübersetzung von Reinhard Kaiser ist dieser Roman neu zu entdecken - in seiner Dramatik, seiner Tragik, seiner Eleganz und nicht zuletzt auch in seiner Komik.

        British civilians in the front line

        Air Raids, Productivity and Wartime Culture, 1939–1945

        by Helen Jones

        This is the first full-length study of the behaviour of British civilians and their reactions to air raids during the Second World War. It unravels the multiple day-to-day, concrete and local influences on people's behaviour at these times of great danger, risk and uncertainty, and challenges the traditional image of civilians as passive shelterers under attack. It uncovers Churchill and his government's desperate attempts to persuade key workers to continue with their work once the air raid siren had sounded, and reveals the complex reasons why so many workers were willing to run such risks. By drawing on a range of sources, including secret government documents, newspapers, national and local records, feature films, as well as interviews with those who worked during air raids, this book provides a fascinating analysis of private meanings and public media representations of civilians 'in the front line'. ;

        Pre and Probiotics for Poultry Gut Health

        by Helen Masey O'Neill, Emily Burton, Dawn Scholey

        Poultry are the most widely used animal protein source in the world: billions of meat birds are produced globally each year, using 360 million tonnes of feed. Within Europe, over 30,000 companies involved in the production of poultry create an annual turnover of €107 billion. However, maintaining the sustainability of the industry as it moves towards antibiotic-free production is one of the key challenges. Starting with an overview of antibiotics as growth promoters and the challenges faced as the industry moves away from their use, this book then thoroughly considers the potential of pre and probiotic additives in poultry gut health. The book: - Includes thorough definitions of additives in the pre and probiotic space and examples of how they work; - Addresses how to test pre and probiotics and other similar additives, and how they interact with other products, with learning from both poultry and allied sectors; - Combines authors from both academic and industry backgrounds on all chapters, to ensure coverage is balanced, robust and commercially relevant. Based on the renowned World Poultry Science Association UK Branch Poultry Science Symposium 2022, this book provides a thorough and valuable contribution to the field for all involved with the nutrition and production of poultry.

        Visitor Experience Design

        by Noel Scott, Jun Gao, Jianyu Ma, Pierre J Benckendorff, Ana Claudia Campos, I-Ling Chen, Peiyi Ding, Rouven Doran, Afiya Holder, Shan Jiang, Svein Larsen, Dung Le, Kuan-Huei Lee, Shanshi Li, Xiang Li, Wei Liu, Júlio Mendes, Brent Moyle, Liubov Skavronskaya, Beverley Sparks, Patricia Valle, Gabby Walters, Ying Wang, Katharina Wolff, Laurie Wu, Lihua Gao

        Most discussion of visitor experiences uses a behavioural or managerial approach where the way the visitor thinks is ignored - it's a black box. Visitor Experience Design is the first book of its kind to examine best practice in creating and delivering exciting and memorable travel and visitation experiences from a cognitive psychological perspective - it opens the black box. The chapters draw on recent findings from cognitive psychology, cognitive science and neuroscience to provide a basis for a better understanding of the antecedents of a memorable experience, including: · The psychological process of the formation or creation of a visitor's experiences · Psychological aspects of tourism experiences such as attention, emotion, memory and mindfulness · Pre-stage experience: customer inputs such as knowledge, myths, values and memories from previous travel · On-site experience: co-creation processes · Post-stage experience: immediate and long term outcomes including happiness and well-being · Experience design cases Tourism, hospitality and event managers seek to provide WOW experiences to their visitors through better design and management.This book encourages the discussion of different facets of experience design such as emotions, attentions, sensations, learning, the process of co-creation and experiential stimuli design. It will be of interest to tourism researchers and postgraduate students studying tourism management, marketing and product design.
