»Claus Derra und Corinna Schilling haben sich mit ihrem Buch das Ziel gesetzt, sehr kurze und einfache Achtsamkeitsübungen vorzustellen, die auch Spaß machen. In ihrer täglichen Anwendung wird ihre Wirkung unmittelbar erlebt. Herausgekommen ist ein verhaltenstherapeutisch orientiertes, patientenfreundliches Buch mit beiliegender Hör-CD. Es gelingt den Autoren, die im Buch vorgestellten Konzepte und Übungen anschaulich zu vermitteln ... So bleibt dem Buch zu wünschen, dass es anders als viele andere Patientenratgeber immer wieder neu zur Hand genommen und angewendet wird.«

Elaine Avila&#8217;s writing is described as &#8220;bold, intelligent, forthright, spirited, compassionate, inviting, wide ranging&#8221; (Caridad Svich); &#8220;open, generous,&#8221; (Erik Ehn); &#8220;tremendously gifted, innovative,&#8221; (Suzan-Lori Parks) and &#8220;stunningly effective, poetic and insightful&#8221; (Kathleen Weiss).On Elaine Avila&#8217;s plays:&#8220;Subversive, full of surprises.&#8221;&#8212;Edmonton Journal&#8220;Passionate, hyper-Canadian.&#8221;&#8212;National Post&#8220;What I love about &#193;vila&#8217;s script is that she never takes the cheap and easy road&#160;&#8230; complex, nuanced characters&#160;&#8230; each forced into the re-examination of their core values.&#8221;&#8211;Vancouver CourierOn&#160;The Ballad of Ginger Goodwin: &#8220;It&#8217;s been nearly a century since Albert &#8216;Ginger&#8217; Goodwin was shot and killed in the Cumberland bush on Canada&#8217;s Vancouver Island, but thanks to people such as playwright Elaine Avila, the legacy of the workers&#8217; rights activist won&#8217;t soon be forgotten.&#8221;&#8211;Cascadia WeeklyOn&#160;Lieutenant Nun:&#160;&#8220;You simply must see this show.

Praise for Rodrigo Rey Rosa&#8220;Intense &#8230; By the end of this novel you feel glad to have come out on the other side and carry the hope that Rodrigo Rey Rosa, those close to him, and his fellow countrymen will do so, too.&#8221;&#8212;New York Journal of Books&#8220;Rodrigo Rey Rosa creates stories of mythic proportions.&#8221;&#8212;San Francisco Chronicle&#160;&#8220;[Human Matter's] exploration of the history of violence and secrecy in Central America has obvious relevance to today's politics, but the tale of a writer trying to understand the truth behind the things he's seeing gives the novel a resounding, universal echo.&#8221;&#8212;Vanity Fair&#8220;Rey Rosa, a Guatemalan writer often compared to Roberto Bolano &#8230; was inspired to write a meta-novel about his experiences [visiting Guatemala's National Police archive] and the stories he uncovered. The result &#8230; reads like the journal of a heartbroken researcher who stumbles on the darkest truths about his native country.&#8221;&#8212;Chicago Tribune&#8220;Wonderful &#8230; The tension between the fundamental pleasure of the novel&#8212;which comes from trying to piece together meaning out of the disparate information available to us and the narrator&#8217;s insistence that it&#8217;s futile&#8212;creates a weirdly gratifying reading experience.&#8221;&#8212;Chicago Review of Books&#8220;To read him is to learn how to write and is also an invitation to the pure pleasure of allowing oneself to be borne along by sinister or fantastic stories ... To say that Rey Rosa is the most rigorous writer of my generation, and at the same time the clearest, the one who weaves his stories together best, the most brilliant of them all, is not to say anything new.&#8221;&#8212;Roberto Bola&#241;o&#160;

"Ein 'Menschenbuch'. Man möchte, dass es jeder liest. Einfach großartig." Annemarie Stoltenberg, NDR Kultur

"Eine beeindruckende Geschichte über Trauer und Traurigkeit. Über unerwartete Verbindungen zwischen einander fremden Menschen, über die Magie von Seelenverwandtschaften. Bittersüß und melancholisch erzählt." Christine Westermann, Stern, 22.02.2024

"Dani Shapiro ist die Entdeckung dieses Frühjahrs. [...] Es stehen so viele kluge, tröstliche Dinge in diesem Roman, dass man unterstreicht, herausschreibt, es anderen vorlesen möchte. Es ist mein Lieblingsbuch in diesem Frühjahr." Annemarie Stoltenberg, NDR Kultur "Neue Bücher", 27.02.2024

"In diesem erzählerischen Meisterwerk werden Sie einige Bauchkribbeln-Momente beim Lesen haben. [...] Das Buch ist so fantastisch erzählt, dass man Shapiro ihr Erzähluniversum zu jeder Zeit abnimmt. Auch in übernatürlichen Momenten. Wie eine gute Serie muss man Leuchtfeuer am Stück durch-bingen – manchmal vergisst man sogar dabei das Atmen vor Spannung." Michèle Loetzner, Vogue, 22.06.2024

"Leuchtfeuer erzählt von Schuld und Verantwortung, von familiären Strukturen, die schützend und dysfunktional zugleich sein können. Geeignet für alle, die sich mit der eigenen Vergangenheit und ihren engsten Beziehungen auseinandersetzen wollen." Sara Peschke, Süddeutsche Zeitung Magazin, 09.08.2024

"Leuchtfeuer ist so spannend, so voller Wendungen und Überraschungen geschrieben, dass ich total begeistert bin. Dani Shapiro schafft es, sich den großen Fragen des Lebens zu nähern, ohne den erhobenen Zeigefinger […]. Lest dieses Buch, es wird euch berühren!" Burcu Arslan, Radio Bremen COSMO, 02.03.2024

"Ein bewegender Zwei-Familien-Roman: Dani Shapiro erzählt nicht linear, vielmehr richtet sie Scheinwerfer auf einzelne Ereignisse, Tage, springt vor und zurück, endet beim 5. Juni 1970. Und gleich beginnt man, von vorn nachzudenken über dieses Buch und seine Figuren." Sylvia Staude, Frankfurter Rundschau, 22.03.2024

"Was für ein Roman! [...] 'Leuchtfeuer' ist ein wirklich beeindruckender, berührender Roman, den man sich fast ein wenig umfangreicher wünschen würde, so sehr schließt man die Charaktere ins Herz. Dringende Empfehlung!" Mirjam Marits, Die Presse am Sonntag (A), 25.02.2024

"Ein durchaus melancholisches Buch, aber ein Ende mit Hoffnungsschimmer. 'Leuchtfeuer' steht dafür, dass es einen Weg aus der Dunkelheit gibt. Es sind wunderbare, tröstliche Sätze, die man einfach festhalten möchte. Eines der schönsten Bücher dieses Frühjahrs – große Empfehlung!" Gundi Gaab, hr2 Kultur, 08.03.2024

"Dani Shapiro ist ein vielschichtiger und mitreißender Roman gelungen, der viel über Fassaden erzählt und natürlich über große, dunkle Geheimnisse." Katharina Mild, Bremen Zwei „Neue Bücher“, 22.03.2024

"Dani Shapiro verwebt Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und Zukunft miteinander – und stellt dabei die große Frage: Was sind die Dinge im Leben, die uns retten? Spannend! Und überraschend tröstlich!" Michaela Frankenberger, emotion, April 2024

"Atmosphärisch dicht wie Ang Lees Film 'Der Eissturm' erschüttert die aufwühlende Geschichte über Aufrichtigkeit und Verdrängung, berührt das Drama einer Mittelstandsfamilie." Karin Waldner-Petutschnig, Kleine Zeitung, 17.02.2024

Quintessential Habits to Happiness

&#8220;John Barth has spent most of his allotted era watching our wheels spin with a coolly detached, not unamused gaze.&#160; He doesn&#8217;t ignore or eschew change, but he takes a wider view. He is Heraclitean to the core. . . . If, as Nabokov wrote in the Afterword to Lolita, art is kindness, then John Barth embodies art every bit as much as anyone ever has.&#8221;&#8212;James Greer, LA Review of Books

Oxford Reading Tree Treetops Greatest Stories: Oxford Level 11: The Swallow and the Nightingale

In a series of compelling books, Lane Kenworthy has convincingly argued that 'Social Democratic Capitalism,' the Nordic Model characterized by strong and centralized unions, a large and redistributive welfare state and frequent social democratic government, delivers high levels of equality and social inclusion, low levels of poverty, high levels of employment, and a cleaner environment without sacrificing economic growth. In this book, Kenworthy carefully considers
whether Democratic Socialism would be an even better alternative. He is skeptical, emphasizing the advantages of Social Democratic Capitalism.

Would Democratic Socialism Be Better?

&#34;Rich, hilarious [. . .] There's every chance in the world that John Barth is a genius.&#34;&#8212;Playboy

&#8220;This is a book of hope, of triumph, even as each day that we wake is a triumph over how things might have been otherwise. &#8216;Look at all my colors,&#8217; Hughes says, reminding us that black contains all colors, is in that way its own abundance. That abundance includes the erotic, the familial, relationships variously sought and regretted, relationships with others as much as with ourselves, the self as an ever-restless interior of light and shadow. That abundance includes, as well, the hard-won poems of A Shiver in the Leaves, whose music is finally, beautifully, brutally, Hughes&#8217;s own.&#8221;&#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#8212; Carl Phillips, from the Foreword&#8220;A Shiver in the Leaves&#160;is a wild-ride collection of poems that concerns itself with love, and chiefly, what it means to experience the pleasures of erotic love while aware of one&#8217;s own Blackness: &#8216;Everything around me is black for its own good.&#8217; Luther Hughes is also a poet of the family and of the natural world.&#160; And all of these elements come forward in this lovely debut that chronicles desire:&#160; &#8216;I want, but I must be careful.&#8217;&#8221;&#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160;&#8212; Jericho Brown, author of&#160;The Tradition&#8220;Luther Hughes&#8217; debut poetry collection resounds with longing&#8212;for love, for tenderness, and most of all for mercy. &#8216;Hunger declares itself,&#8217; and despite his speaker&#8217;s attempts to lose himself, despite becoming, for a time, a space where others can be lost, he finds himself, and in so doing is found. Achingly vulnerable, A Shiver in the Leaves reminds us that &#8216;It&#8217;s never enough to love a thing, / you must do the work, too,&#8217; and we hold some measure of our own salvation in our hands.&#8221;&#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#8212; Donika Kelly, author of The Renunciations&#8220;Hughes&#8217; enthusiasm and gratitude for the poetic line is not only evidenced in his scholarship, but it sings in this debut. Like a song heard from far away, these poems move the way the writer&#8217;s eye does, scouring the landscape and leaving no stone unturned. We&#8217;ll be singing to Luther&#8217;s lyric for a long time.&#8221;&#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160;&#8212; Camonghne Felix, author of Build Yourself a Boat&#8220;What distinguishes the densities of desire from the densities of pain? In A Shiver in the Leaves, Luther Hughes makes poems that richly blur across dark landscapes of eroticism and charged violence, allowing leakages between territories claimed by unsparing appetites and those claimed by the voracity of grief. Animated by a bruised, febrile lyricism, Hughes&#8217; tensile lines plumb the embodied experience of Blackness, queerness, faith, and vexed desire with searing jolts of language and exquisite tenderness. One leaves these poems enlarged, stunned, complexly bereft: &#8216;Come/let&#8217;s plunge forward...grab hold the darkness we become.&#8217;&#8221;&#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160;&#8212; Jenny Xie, &#160;author of Eye Level

’This collection of essays is a welcome addition to the literature on expressive arts in the Indo-Pacific region. The topics of dance, music and poetry have been relatively little explored here by anthropologists, and this book, edited by two well known researchers, fills a significant gap. All of those with interests in these expressive genres, and Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and Taiwan generally, will find it a most valuable collection.’  Professor Paul Sillitoe, University of Durham, UK  ’The contributors...eloquently demonstrate how transformations in the political or religious landscape are reflected and enacted in reformulations of local cultural heritage and expressive styles...Through richly described and illustrated transformations of expressive forms, this book acquaints us with the flexibility and dynamics of aesthetic and narrative genres, and with the dilemmas, emotions and strategies of people in transitional situations.’ Bijdragen tot de Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde
