    Content: Auf die Frage, wozu dieses "Akzeptieren", der zentrale Punkt der klientenzentrierten Therapie, gut sei, gibt Rogers eine präzise Auskunft: "Wenn ich mich so, wie ich bin, akzeptiere, dann ändere ich mich. Aus dem Man-Selbst-Sein ergeben sich echte Beziehungen. Wirkliche Beziehungen ändern sich eher, als daß sie statisch bleiben. ... In meinen Beziehungen zu Menschen habe ich herausgefunden, daß es auf lange Sicht nicht hilft, so zu tun, als wäre ich jemand, der ich nicht bin. - Ich habe es als höchst lohnend empfunden, einen anderen Menschen akzeptieren zu können."

    Content: Als sich Jim Rogers 1964 in die Wall Street verliebte, war er vor allem von einer Leidenschaft getrieben: zu wissen, was in der Welt vor sich geht. Dieselbe Leidenschaft führte ihn zwei Mal rund um den Globus, einmal mit dem Motorrad, einmal mit dem Auto, und direkt ins Guinness-Buch der Rekorde: Niemand vor ihm und nach ihm hat je mehr Länder auf diese Weise erkundet, und dabei auch noch jedes Land vor Ort aus wirtschaftlicher Sicht und aus Sicht eines Investors durchleuchtet. In diesem Buch entführt Jim Rogers den Leser in sein ungewöhnliches Leben und auf seinen ebenso ungewöhnlichen wie erfolgreichen Investmentweg. Er zeigt, warum er in eine Währung, ein Land oder einen Rohstoff investiert und in andere nicht. Und er macht deutlich, welche Länder und Unternehmen die richtigen Weichenstellungen vornehmen und welche gnadenlos scheitern werden. Eingebettet in sehr persönliche Erfahrungen und Anekdoten nimmt er kein Blatt vor den Mund, wenn er die Missstände aufzeigt, die der Finanzkrise den Weg ebneten. Rogers nimmt den interessierten Investor an die Hand, stellt globale Zusammenhänge her und wirft einen ebenso ehrlichen wie faszinierenden Blick auf die Zukunft der weltweiten Märkte. Ganz nebenbei erhält der Leser einen Grundkurs in Investmentregeln der anderen Art: Gelebte Investmentpraxis statt MBA-Elfenbeinturm.

    Content: "The premise of Greening of the Self is that we are not individuals separate from the world. Instead we are always co-arising or co-creating the world, and we cannot escape the consequence of what we do to the environment. Joanna Macy's innovative writing beautifully demonstres that by broadening our view of what constitutes self we can cut through our dualistic views and bring about the emergence of the ecological self. Part of the Parallax Press Moments series."
    Content: Biographisches: "Eco-philosopher Joanna Macy, Ph.D., is one of the best know spiritual activist in this country. She is a scholar of Buddhism, general systems theory, and deep ecology. A respected voice in movements for peace, justice, and ecology, she interweaves her scholarship with four decades of activism. Her wide-ranging work addresses psychological and spiritual issues of the nuclear age, the cultivation of ecological awareness, and the fruitful resonance between Buddhist thought and contemporary science. Her group methods have been adopted and adapted widely in classrooms, churches, and grassroots organizing. Her work helps people transform despair and apathy, in the face of overwhelming social and ecological crises, into constructive, collaborative action. The author of many books Mrs. Macy travels widely giving lectures, workshops, and trainings in the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Australia. She lives in Berkeley, California."

    Content: " Named a Best Science Book of 2014 by Amazon, Wired, the Guardian, and NBC Winner of the 2014 Gourmand Award for Best Spirits Book in the United States Finalist for the 2015 PEN/E. O. Wilson Literary Science Writing AwardLively . [Rogers's] descriptions of the science behind familiar drinks exert a seductive pull. —, New York Times Humans have been perfecting alcohol production for ten thousand years, but scientists are just starting to distill the chemical reactions behind the perfect buzz. In a spirited tour across continents and cultures, Adam Rogers takes us from bourbon country to the world's top gene-sequencing labs, introducing us to the bars, barflies, and evolving science at the heart of boozy technology. He chases the physics, biology, chemistry, and metallurgy that produce alcohol, and the psychology and neurobiology that make us want it. If you've ever wondered how your drink arrived in your glass, or what it will do to you, Proof makes an unparalleled drinking companion.Rogers's book has much the same effect as a good drink. You get a warm sensation, you want to engage with the wider world, and you feel smarter than you probably are. Above all, it makes you understand how deeply human it is to take a drink. —, Wall Street Journal "
    Content: Rezension(1): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: March 24, 2014 “Our history with the stuff is our history on earth, a history of humans becoming modern, tool-using, technology-making creatures,” writes Rogers, an articles editor at Wired and a former science/technology writer for Newsweek, who more than justifies that statement in this impressively reported and entertaining work. Alcohol and its related practices really do span human existence. The arrival of distillation some 2,000 years ago “gave rise to the modern study of chemistry,” while “an economic ecosystem surrounding aged liquor represents a signal moment in the early Industrial Revolution, a mile marker on the road to a more civilized world.” But like the story of us, the story of alcohol is incomplete—scientists are still trying to identify what ethanol, a major component of alcohol, does to the body,only theories exist for what causes hangovers—and at constant odds with the past. For example, technology exists that can artificially age whiskey and other spirits. The science here can be intimidating to process, but when enjoyed in leisurely sips, Rogers’s cheeky and accessible writing style goes down smoothly, capturing the essence of this enigmatic, ancient social lubricant.

    Series Statement: Preparing for Disaster
    Content: " Although infectious disease outbreaks have long threatened the well-being of human societies, the realization that such epidemics and pandemics can be controlled or even prevented in the first place is recent. With advances in scientific understanding of disease and the development of technologies for the early detection of infectious agents, health agencies are better equipped for disease prevention and surveillance. This volume explores epidemic and pandemic threats and approaches to disease detection, prevention, and surveillance, relating them to concepts that lie at the foundation of STEM education. It also describes the steps readers can take to prepare for disease outbreaks."

    Content: " Her brother's letters reveal everything-if only he'd written one to her. Alice always thought she'd see her brother again. Rob ran away when he was fifteen, with so many years left to find his way home. But his funeral happened first. Now that she has to clear out her childhood home in Georgia, the memories come flooding in, bringing with them an autopsy report showing her family's lies-and sealed, addressed letters from Rob. In a search for answers to questions she's always been afraid to ask, Alice delivers the letters. Each dares her to open her eyes to her family's dark past-and her own role in it. But it's the last letter, addressed to her brother's final home in New Orleans, that will force her to choose if she'll let the secrets break her or finally bring her home. Everything I Never Told You meets The Night Olivia Fell set against a vivid Southern backdrop, How to Bury Your Brother follows a sister coming to terms with the mystery behind her brother's disappearance and death. "
    Content: Biographisches: "Lindsey Rogers Cook is a senior editor for digital storytelling at The New York Times, previously at U.S. News and World Report. This is her first novel. Lindsey lives in Hoboken, New Jersey, across the Hudson River from New York City." Rezension(2): "Nathan Hill, New York Times bestselling author of The Nix:Lindsey Rogers Cook has blessed us with this penetrating, page-turning mystery about that greatest mystery of all: family. How To Bury Your Brother is a deeply wise book about the secrets that families keep, about the dysfunctions that grumble just beneath the surface. A profoundly honest and insightful and beautiful novel." Rezension(3): "Kristy Woodson Harvey, bestselling author of Slightly South of Simple:Brilliantly plotted and beautifully written, How to Bury Your Brother questions how well we really know the people we love-and whether it's ever too late to learn the truth. An unforgettable debut." Rezension(4): "Patti Callahan Henry, New York Times bestselling author:Lindsey Cook is a radiant new voice in southern fiction. The debut novel, How to Bury Your Brother is both wise and captivating. Cook's prose rings true as she takes us through the journey of a sister coming to terms with her brother's death, family hidden stories and her own role in all of it. This is a book, and an author, who will grab your heart and not let go even after the very last page." Rezension(5): "Haley Harrigan, author of Secrets of Southern Girls:How to Bury your Brother explores what happens when a lifetime of secrets pushes one woman to the breaking point. Both heartbreaking and hopeful, Alice's journey to find the truth about her brother's death uncovers more about her family—and about herself—than she ever bargained for. A must-read." Rezension(6): "Mary Kay Andrews, New York Times bestselling author:The one thing Alice knows with certainty on the day of her beloved brother's funeral is that, somehow, she must find answers to the questions that have haunted her since the day her brother left home at the age of fifteen—even if the quest could destroy everything she thinks she holds dear. With How To Bury Your Brother, Lindsey Rogers Cook has penned a deeply felt novel that unspools the threads of secrets long-buried beneath the seemingly sunny surface of one Southern family. Readers will find themselves immersed in Alice's quest, and rooting for her to discover the real meaning of home." Rezension(7): "〈a href=http://lj.libraryjournal.com/ target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/libraryjournal_logo.png alt=Library Journal border=0 /〉〈/a〉: April 1, 2020 DEBUT Just before her childhood home in Atlanta is to be razed, Alice Wright finds seven sealed letters hidden in a crawl space. The letters are written by her brother, Rob Tate, who died nine years earlier. Despite her disappointment that there is no letter for her, she sets out to deliver each of them, hoping to learn about Rob's life and--especially--why he disappeared from home just before turning 16 and never returned. She and Rob had been particularly close, despite their five-year age difference, and she looked for him while his absence irretrievably damaged their family. Now, with her father dead and her mother in assisted living, Alice must face her own marital problems and family conflicts while struggling to stop the pattern of convenient lies. VERDICT Although the title suggests that this is a mystery, it's actually literary fiction about a particularly dysfunctional Southern family with dark secrets, featuring a woman who confronts hard truths. This is an accomplished, insightful debut ideally suited for book groups, with reading group guide and author interview included. --Michele Leber, Arlington, VACopyright 2020 Library Journal, LLC Used with permission. " Rezension(8): "〈a href=https://www.booklistonline.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/booklist_logo.png alt=Booklist border=0 /〉〈/a〉: May 1, 2020 Alice was ten when her beloved older brother Rob left home. While she never gave up hope that he'd return, she rarely spoke of him, even to her husband and children. Now, 30 years after his disappearance and almost a decade after his funeral, Alice reluctantly returns to their childhood home in Georgia on the eve of its demolition. Hidden in a crawl space and labeled with her name, she finds boxes of Rob's personal effects, including an autopsy report and seven sealed letters addressed in her brother's handwriting. Determined to finally discover the truth about his disappearance and his death, Alice sets out to deliver the letters. But as she pieces together details about his life, she also is forced to confront secrets about their family that cause her not only to question her own childhood memories but also to reevaluate her present-day relationships. Part mystery, part Southern gothic, and wholly original, Cook's debut novel establishes her as an author to watch.
