        AUS NICHTS

        by Ron Adam

        AUS NICHTS – Ein futuristisch-apokalyptischer Thriller von Ron Adam Wie in einer griechischen Tragödie bewegen sich die Vereinigten Staaten auf eine nicht zu vermeidende Kollision zu: Die explosive Kombination von fanatischem Islamismus, Atomwaffen und den reichsten Energiereserven der Welt. Am 11. September 2001 demonstrierte Osama Bin Laden, wie US Dollars und amerikanische Technologie sich in einen Bumerang gegen die USA verwandeln und das Herz des mächtigsten Landes der Welt treffen können. Angesicht dessen ist es nicht schwer, sich vorzustellen, wie es wäre, wenn ein solcher Fanatismus sich nuklearer Waffen bemächtigen würde. Die Kriege der USA und ihrer Verbündeten in Afghanistan und im Irak kreisen geographisch den Iran ein und deuten damit auf dieses Land als eine weitere und wegen seines nuklearen Potentials vielleicht die stärkste Bedrohung für die westliche Welt hin. Aus Nichts handelt davon, wie die Welt, die durch einen regionalen Krieg am Persischen Golf und einen Umsturz in Russland, dem alten neuen Verbündeten des Iran, in einen nuklearen Holocaust geraten ist, überleben kann. Die Menschheit scheint vollständig ausgelöscht, doch die Besatzung eines amerikanischen U-Bootes überlebt unter Wasser. Die ausschließlich männlichen Besatzungsmitglieder merken, dass das weitere Überleben der menschlichen Gattung nun allein von ihnen abhängt. Nach neun Monaten unter Wasser ankern sie schließlich vor einer abgelegenen Insel im Pazifik und stellen fest, dass die Umweltbedingungen hier wieder menschliches Leben zulassen. Das Boot ist mit der neuesten Technologie ausgerüstet.   Um das Überleben der Menschheit zu sichern, wurden sogar zwei Dutzend befruchtete tiefgefrorene Eizellen eingelagert, die dazu bestimmt sind, zu weiblichen menschlichen Nachkommen zu werden. Leider leben nun aber auf der Insel zunächst nur die mehr als einhundert Männer des U-Bootes, die ungeduldig darauf warten müssen, dass die kleinen Mädchen endlich zu Frauen heranreifen. Der Kampf über die Kontrolle der kostbaren „Ressourcen“ ist unvermeidlich. Die Männer müssen erkennen, dass die menschliche Natur auch hier nicht zu ändern ist. Der Autor Ron Adam hat als Kampfpilot und Flugausbilder in der israelischen Luftwaffe sowie als Marineoffizier in einen U-Boot eine beeindruckende militärische Karriere hinter sich. Heute ist er als Berater in der Luftfahrtindustrie tätig und verfasste bereits mehrere Bücher und Drehbücher. Ron Adam ist glücklich verheiratet und Vater dreier Kinder. Rechte für die deutsche Ausgabe sind noch erhältlich!

        PARALLEL 1

        GOING PARALLEL IN ENGLISH

        by Anastasia G, Chondrakis

        The books PARALLEL 1 & 2 - Going parallel in English are based on a very innovative method of teaching English attempting to explore and implement the neurolinguistic approach to language learning. We, the teachers, do not over-analyse but compose meaningful language communicative patterns based on the linguistic mechanisms that language automatically activates for each of us. The learners speak and write in a natural way, utilizing the linguistic instinct , innate in us feeling encouraged to speak, to participate in oral and written dialogues achieving faster than ever effective communication, while at the same time they boost  their self-confidence. From the very first lessons they can read, listen, write, and speak the English language that no longer sounds "foreign"! The Parallel® method is a unique teaching approach that can successfully lead the adult beginner to level B2 IN LESS THAN A YEAR, in which, according to the Common European Framework of Languages – CEFR - ​​the learners can: - understand the basic ideas of a text or a business/ social meeting - explain clearly what they want and what they think - develop conversations/arguments - provide a clear and written text on a wide range of topics - state clearly their opinion on a current issue and support the pros and cons of an argument. THE METHOD CONSISTS OF TWO STUDENT’S BOOKS AND TWO TEACHER’S BOOKS WITH DETAILED TEACHING GUIDELINES AND KEY TO THE EXERCISES.

      • Two Nordic Short Novels

        by Ana Flecha Marco

        The title of the book, Two Nordic Short Novels, signals to the reader exactly what to expect: two short fictions set in Scandinavia.  These stories are not only linked by length and latitude but also by the fact that they are a sheer delight to read. Story of Ø tells the tale of the handful of inhabitants left living on a tiny island in the Norwegian Sea, which is sinking inexorably due to climate change.  The islanders decide to try and conserve the collective memory of the land that has been their home for so many generations; a memory that lies in the objects and traditions that have shaped their personal and shared landscape. Mancha vividly conjures up the impressions of young woman as she arrives in Flekke, a small Norwegian village, to teach Spanish.  The village is populated by a kaleidoscopic range of inhabitants whom the teacher grows to understand as she interacts with them day by day.  The story unfolds with a refreshing lightness of touch, mixing humour and insight into cultural diversity with subtlety and skill.

        Cartoon Conversations

        On teaching, learning and life: 25 cartoons and related questions

        by Eric Frangenheim

        25 cartoons from the best-selling teacher resource, Reflections on Classroom Thinking Strategies, by Eric Frangenheim. Each cartoon is accompanied by an explanation and a series of reflective and thought-provoking questions to be used in classrooms, staff rooms and around the family table to encourage deeper, reflective and more meaningful conversations. In addition, there are 11 generic questions based on Bloom’s Taxonomy of the Cognitive Domain for each of the 25 cartoons. In general, all of the cartoons and questions can be used as ice-breakers and debating points for school classrooms, staff rooms, the corporate world and for family discussion. To discourage enthusiastic and stronger personalities from dominating these discussions, it is suggested that a Think:Pair:Share strategy be used to allow all involved to think on their own (Think: 30-90 seconds or more), before they discuss their initial ideas with a partner (Pair: another 30-90 seconds), followed by pairs being invited to let others know what they had discussed (Share: as long as the facilitator feels is appropriate).
