Socially Competent Kids
How to Stimulate the Eight Key Social and Emotional Skills of your Child
by Steven Pont
What makes children truly happy? The answer to that question is simple, but challenging: their social-emotional competences. Socially competent kids feel good and are more successful in different aspects of life. One of the most important tasks of a parent is therefore to support their children in developing social skills. This book shows parents how to encourage the social-emotional development of their children. It distinguishes eight skills: awareness of the self, social awareness, self-management, goal oriented behaviour, relational skills, personal responsibility, decision making, and positive thinking. After giving a clear introduction on social-emotional development, the author explains these skills in more detail in eight chapters. Each chapter contains a detailed real-life example, psychological background information, and practical interventions ready for use by parents, teachers and other caretakers. The interventions and examples are aimed at four to twelve year olds.

Personal Tales of Encounters with Spirit Animals
by Dr. Steven Farmer
Experience the Magic of Spirit AnimalsSoar with Dr. Steven Farmer and selected sacred storytellers as they share personal tales of spirit animals appearing to them in real life, in dreams, or symbolically, to share their mystical yet practical medicine. Experience how these spiritual allies can guard, aid, heal, and guide you in the most unexpected and delightful ways. Renowned “animal spirit guy” Dr. Steven Farmer explains how these profound encounters affirm our intimacy with the animal world and the realm of Spirit. His wisdom will heighten your understanding of spirit animal symbolism, the five major ways that spirit animals can speak to you, and how to discern their messages for you. Learn how to receive the animals’ gifts in the form of wisdom, guidance, protection, and power, and come to feel their support, trust their keen perception, and appreciate the simple ways in which they appear just when you need guidance the most. ANIMALS will show you how you, too, can fly like an eagle, run like a puma, and reach new heights like the tallest giraffe.

The ArtsJanuary 2019Leos Carax
by Fergus Daly, Garin Dowd
The first book in any language to study the films of this enfant terrible of contemporary French cinema, best known for his film Les Amants du Pont Neuf. Examines key ingredients in the worlds of Carax's films - Paris, pop music, 'flânerie' and 'amour fou', 'mannerist' and 'neo-baroque' aesthetics, the Nouvelle Vague and contemporary 'naturalist' cinema - making the book a good primer of contemporary French film and culture. Draws on a variety of intellectual sources, such as the philosophy of Deleuze, film criticism, theory of art, and literary monographs. Argues that the recent history of maverick mannerist and baroque auteurs, from Ruiz & Rivette to Garrel and Techine, and their explorations of the 'powers of the false' are key to Carax's cinema. Examines Carax's contribution to the strand of cinema which is focused on chance and destiny, from Wong Kar-Wai and David Lynch to films such as Serendipity and Sliding doors.

August 2005Geschichte meines Lebens
Mozarts Librettist erinnert sich
by Lorenzo Ponte, Charlotte Birnbaum, Charlotte Birnbaum, Jörg Krämer
Lorenzo Da Pontes Leben verlief wahrlich nicht geradlinig. Aus einfachen Verhältnissen stammend, führte ihn sein Weg über die Priesterweihe und Tätigkeit als Literaturprofessor bis in die Neue Welt, wo er die Oper populär machte.Er traf auf berühmte Zeitgenossen wie Casanova, Salieri oder Cagliostro, die er in seinen Memoiren treffend porträtiert, und natürlich auf Mozart. Für ihn schrieb er drei Libretti, durch die sie beide unsterblich wurden: Die Hochzeit des Figaro (1786), Don Giovanni (1787) und Così fan tutte (1790).

January 2023Zekamerone
Geschichten aus dem Gefängnis
by Maxim Znak, Henriette Reisner, Volker Weichsel
In einer auf Zellengröße geschrumpften Welt gewinnt jedes Detail an Bedeutung: die Kakerlake, die ihren Job macht, die Mausefalle, mit der sich die Zeit totschlagen lässt, die seltsamen Rhythmen des kollektiven Schnarchens, wie sie der Schlaflose wahrnimmt.Maxim Znak, ein brillanter Jurist und prominentes Mitglied der belarussischen Oppositionsbewegung, wurde im Herbst 2020 verhaftet und im September 2021 zu zehn Jahren Gefängnis verurteilt. In seinem Zekamerone (von »zek«, dem russischen Akronym für Häftling), das er im ersten Jahr seiner Haft schrieb, erweist er sich als begabter Schriftsteller – pointiert, ironisch und mit erstaunlichem Humor erzählt er in einhundert »mini stories« von seinem neuen Alltag. Seine Geschichten legen Zeugnis ab von Widerstand und Selbstbehauptung, vom leisen und lauten Verrücktwerden. Maxim Znak, Jg, 1982, prominentes Mitglied der belarussischen Oppositionsbewegung und Anwalt von Maria Kalesnikava, sitzt seit dem 9. September 2020 in einem Minsker Gefängnis. Sein »Zekamerone« (von zek, dem russischen Akronym für Häftling), eine Sammlung von einhundert mini stories, hat er während des ersten Jahres in Haft in ein Notizbuch notiert, das nach draußen gelangte.
