'No Means No!' is a children's picture book about an empowered little girl who has a very strong and clear voice in all issues, especially those relating to her body and personal boundaries. This book can be read to children from 3 to 9 years. It is a springboard for discussions regarding children's choices and their rights. The 'Note to the Reader' at the beginning of the book and the 'Discussion Questions' on the final pages, guide and enhance this essential discussion. It is crucial that our children, from a very young age, are taught to have a clear, strong voice in regards to their rights - especially about their bodies. In this way, they will have the confidence to speak up when they are unhappy or feel uncomfortable in any situation. A strong, confident voice as a young child converts to a strong, confident pre-teen, teenager and adult. With the prevalence today of online and offline bullying and various forms of abuse, such as physical, emotional and sexual abuse; our young people need to learn (from a young age) to always speak up when their rights are not being respected. The aim of this book is to empower young children and to give them a voice so they can grow up into empowered adults. When a child, teenager or adult says, 'No!' to any form of coercion, this should be immediately respected. A world where 'No!' does actually mean 'No!' can be a world with far less violence and increased respect for humankind. By educating our children to have true respect for one another, this world can be a much safer and more positive place. Body Safety Education (aka sexual abuse prevention education) empowers girls and boys through knowledge, and teaches them they have the right to say, 'No' and to respect other's personal boundaries. Both girls and boys need to learn to ask for consent and this can be taught from a very young age. Some of the scenarios in this book are typical of approaches used by sexual abusers (sexual predators/molesters/pedophiles) when grooming children for sexual abuse. Their aim is to desensitize the child to having their personal space violated and desensitize them to touch.

« Quand j’étais enfant, ma mère ne cessait de me répéter : "Arrête avec tes mensonges.” J’inventais si bien les histoires, paraît-il, qu’elle ne savait plus démêler le vrai du faux. J’ai fini par en faire un métier, je suis devenu romancier.Aujourd’hui, voilà que j’obéis enfin à ma mère : je dis la vérité. Pour la première fois. Dans ce livre.Autant prévenir d’emblée : pas de règlement de comptes, pas de violence, pas de névrose familiale. Mais un amour, quand même. Un amour immense et tenu secret. Qui a fini par me rattraper. »Magnifique, tout simplement.

The "BASIC PH" model of coping and resiliency, developed by Prof. Mooli Lahad, was the first to describe coping as an on-going effort to manage life challenges. This is the first book to be published on this world-renowned approach, widely used as an effective resiliency assessment, intervention, and recovery model. Underpinning the model is the suggestion that every person has internal powers, or coping resources, which can be mobilized in stressful situation; the effort to survive coming from a healthy rather than a pathological instinct. This edited volume outlines the theory behind the "BASIC PH" approach, presents practice-based and research-based interventions and explains their application during and in the wake of both natural and man-made disasters. With wide-ranging chapters from authoritative contributors, the book shows how the "BASIC PH" model can be successfully applied in family, community, education, health, and business settings. This will be an invaluable text for professionals, academics, and students with an interest in trauma and coping with crisis and disaster.

"This is a book about football and Britain, and Britain and football. You can't fully understand one without the other; and if you haven't got a sense of humour it's not worth even trying. "My name's Tim Marshall and it's been a week since my last match. I support a football club. That's not just five words; it's a life sentence." Why do so many of us attend football grounds, rain or shine, week in week out, to bellow at our fellow countrymen? Because we love it. Football chants are the grassroots of the game, from the Premier League all the way down to the Conference and beyond. They're funny. And they're sharp. And in the UK they run very deep. In this witty and insightful account, Tim Marshall tells the story of British football through the songs and chants that give it meaning. This is a book about the fans, written for the fans, with all the flair and banter that bring the beautiful game to life. No other sport has a culture quite like it.

Zu den schlimmsten Verbrechen im Zweiten Weltkrieg gehören die Massenvergewaltigungen deutscher Frauen und Mädchen durch sowjetische Soldaten 1944/45. Viele dieser Frauen und Mädchen wurden nicht ein Mal, sondern viele Male sexuell mißbraucht. Weder Kinder noch Greisinnen blieben verschont. Verläßlichen Schätzungen zufolge wurden rund zwei Millionen Frauen und Mädchen Opfer jener Vergewaltigungen. Das ungeheure Ausmaß dieser Verbrechen und der durch sie verursachten menschlichen Leiden hat jahrzehntelang keine angemessene öffentliche Aufmerksamkeit erfahren. Erst in neuerer Zeit werden diese Ereignisse häufiger erwähnt, allerdings fast immer nur als Teil einer Schilderung von Flucht, Vertreibung und Zwangsarbeit. Demgegenüber befasst sich das vorliegende Buch ausschließlich mit den Vergewaltigungen und hier unter anderem mit den Fragen, wie und warum es zu diesen Exzessen gekommen ist, warum Widerstand zwecklos war und was mit den Kindern geschah, die Opfer oder nur Zeuge der sexuellen Gewalttaten waren. Erlebnisberichte von Opfern und Tätern sind eine wesentliche, weil authentische Grundlage dieser Darstellung.

Depuis 2011, celui qui est le plus influent documentariste de la mode tient un compte twitter (@LoicPrigent) qui fait grincer des dents tout le milieu de la mode et rire tous les autres (et parfois le milieu lui-même). Laissant ses oreilles traîner dans les défilés et les studios, il y recueille les bons mots, les rosseries, les énormités, les béatitudes et les coups de griffe des participants de ce petit cercle qui gouverne le goût du monde entier.

Pense à ton maquillage. » « - C'était bien ton dîner?- J'ai dit que des trucs que j'avais déjà dits et écouté que des conversations que j'avais déjà entendues. » « - Quel jour on est ?- Mais comment veux tu que je le sache ? » « J'ai tellement faim, je pourrais manger. » A coup sûr, le livre le plus drôle des années 10. Et, qui sait, le plus poétique ? Le livre est le choix des meilleures phrases de ces cinq années, auxquelles Loïc Prigent a ajouté un grand nombre d’inédits.

Literatur über die NS-Zeit gibt es reichlich. Umso interessanter ist dieses Buch, in dem das Leben im Dritten Reich durch eine besondere Darstellungsweise veranschaulicht wird: Zeitungstexte, Anordnungen, Statistiken, Akten und viele weitere Quellen enthalten zahllose unbekannte Fakten - und oft kuriosester Art. Man erfährt etwa, wozu die sogenannten 'Eintopfsonntage' eingeführt wurden, warum der Völkische Beobachter Borkum als Urlaubsziel empfahl oder welche Reaktionen die Angeklagten bei den Nürnberger Prozessen zeigten. Eine außergewöhnliche Sammlung von Details aus dem Alltag im Dritten Reich.
Als sich die 21-jährige Margot Bendheim am Mittag des 20. Januar 1943 mit ihrer Mutter und ihrem Bruder Ralph treffen will, um die Flucht vor der Gestapo aus Berlin vorzubereiten, erfährt sie, dass ihr Bruder kurz zuvor abgeholt wurde. Und auch die Mutter erscheint nicht - sie hinterlässt ihrer Tochter folgende Botschaft: "Ich habe mich entschlossen, mit Ralph zu gehen, wohin immer das auch sein mag. Versuche, dein Leben zu machen." Margot, verlassen und verloren, beschließt unterzutauchen; sie färbt sich die Haare rot und lässt ihre Nase operieren, um nicht als Jüdin aufzufallen. Fünfzehn Monate dauert das Leben im Untergrund, bei Helfern, die gleichwohl nicht alle selbstlos handelten. Dreimal entkommt sie der Gestapo nur um Haaresbreite. Dann, im April 1944, geht sie jüdischen "Greifern" in die Falle - sie wird nach Theresienstadt deportiert und überlebt mit Glück. Ihre Mutter und ihr Bruder werden in Auschwitz ermordet.§Margot Bendheim, die seit ihrer Heirat Friedlander heißt, emigrierte 1946 mit ihrem Mann in die USA. Heute, sechzig Jahre später, erzählt sie gemeinsam mit der Schriftstellerin Malin Schwerdtfeger ihre Geschichte - eine dramatische Geschichte von Hoffnung und Verrat, von Zivilcourage inmitten des Terrors und vom unbedingten Willen zu überleben.
