Uniform Title: Animal diaries - T-Rex

Content: Das Tagebuch eines T-Rex - von Geburt bis zum Tod, dem allgemeinen Dinosterben durch einen Meteoriteneinschlag, berichtet der Urzeitgigant von seinem Leben. Das besteht hauptsächlich aus Beutezügen. Und dabei lernen Kinder ab 7 Jahren auch noch viele andere Dinosaurierarten kennen.

Content: Der Tyrannosaurus Rex ist ohne Frage der Dinosaurier, der die größte Faszination verbreitet - v.a. bei Kindern. Und so vermarktet der Loewe Verlag seinen neuesten Dino-Titel geschickt: schon auf dem Cover wütet der blutrünstige Urzeitriese, obwohl es im Buch nicht ausschließlich um ihn geht. Inhaltlich stellt der Text eine Art Tagebuch dar, das der kleine Baby-T-Rex von Geburt an führt bis zu seinem Tod - verursacht durch den Meteoriteneinschlag, dem Grund für das Aussterben der Dinosaurier. Auf seinen Beutezügen lernt der T-Rex nach und nach andere Saurierarten kennen, denen er auch eigene Namen gibt (Struthi für "Struthiomimus", Dreihorn für "Triceratops" etc.). Die Steckbriefe zu den anderen Saurierarten finden sich auf den entsprechenden Seiten. Der Schreibstil ist recht locker und mit vielen Zeichnungen und einigen wenigen Fotos versehen. Informativer und sachlicher: "Dinosaurier" von I. Rometsch (ID-A 48/11). Originell und anders: "Zicke, zacke, Dinokacke!" (ID-A 32/12). Dennoch eine populäre, günstige und bestimmt gern entliehene Bestandsergänzung zu einem Dauerbrenner-Thema. [Inge Kliemt]

Series Statement: Routledge Interpretive Marketing Research Series

Content: The book examines how a variety of agents - religious institutions, spiritual leaders, marketers and consumers - interact and co-create spiritual meanings in a post-disenchanted society that has been defined a 'supermarket of the soul.' Consumption and Spirituality examines not only religious organizations, but also brands and marketers and the way they infuse their products, services and experiences with spiritual meanings that flow freely in the circuit of culture and can be appropriated by consumers even without purchase acts. From a consumer perspective, the book investigates how spiritual beliefs, practices, and experiences are now embedded into a global consumer culture. Rather than condemning consumption, the chapters in this book highlight consumers' agency and the creative processes through which authentic spiritual meanings are co-created from a variety of sources, local and global, and sacred and profane alike

Series Statement: Global Institutions Series

Content: This work seeks to look beyond the seemingly endless deadlock in the WTO's Doha round of trade negotiations that began in November 2001 and were first scheduled to conclude by January 1, 2005. As well as offering an incisive analysis of the ills of the round, with particular attention directed at the poorest and least developed countries, the book expands on how the round could be moved forward elaborating on the Statement on the Doha Development Agenda that was negotiated in Johannesburg . The work as a whole provides the reader with a critical analysis of the implications of the negotiations for development and poverty reduction as well as proposals for moving beyond the current impasse. The volume brings together contributions from serving and former ambassadors to the WTO, key practitioners, and civil society representatives along with those of leading scholars. Each chapter explores an area of critical importance to the round; and together they stand as an important contribution to debates not only about the Doha round but also about the role of trade in the amelioration of poverty in the poorest countries
