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.

Bhanu is probably the most famous Sanskrit poet that no one today has ever heard of. His "Bouquet of Rasa" and "River of Rasa", both composed in the early sixteenth century, probably under the patronage of the Nizam of Ahmadnagar in western India, attracted the attention of the most celebrated commentators in early modern India. Some of the greatest painters of Mewar and Basohli vied to turn his subtle poems into pictures. And his verses were prized by poets everywhere: Abu al-Fazl, the pre-eminent scholar at Akbar's court, translated them into Persian, and, Kshetrayya, the great Andhra poet of the next century, adapted them into Telugu. Many writers have described the types of heroines and heroes of Sanskrit literature (the subject of "The Bouquet of Rasa") or explained the nature of aesthetic emotion (that of "The River of Rasa"), but none did so in verse of such exquisite and subtle artistry.

"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.

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.

What Do You Care What Other People Think? Further Adventures of a Curious Character is a captivating collection of reminiscences from freewheeling scientific genius Richard P. Feynman.Richard Feynman - Nobel Laureate, teacher and iconic intellect - possessed an unquenchable thirst for an adventure and an unparalleled gift for telling the extraordinary stories of his life.In this collection of short pieces Feynman describes everything from his love of beauty to college pranks to how his father taught him to think. He takes us behind the scenes of the space shuttle Challenger investigation, where he dramatically revealed the cause of the disaster with a simple experiment.

I should have asked the question "How could someone who was missing be in two places at once?" Instead, I asked the wrong question -- four wrong questions, more or less. This is the account of the second.§In the fading town of Stain'd-by-the-Sea, young apprentice Lemony Snicket has a new case to solve when he and his chaperone are hired to find a missing girl. Is the girl a runaway? Or was she kidnapped? Was she seen last at the grocery store? Or could she have stopped at the diner? Is it really any of your business? These are All The Wrong Questions.

Before the Baudelaires became orphans, before he encountered A Series of Unfortunate Events, even before the invention of Netflix, Lemony Snicket was a boy discovering the mysteries of the world. In a fading town, far from anyone he knew or trusted, a young Lemony Snicket began his apprenticeship in an organization nobody knows about. He started by asking questions that shouldn't have been on his mind. Now he has written an account that should not be published, in four volumes that shouldn't be read. This is the first volume. Penned in signature style, "Who Could That Be at This Hour?" (also published as All the Wrong Questions: Question 1) invites readers to untangle the mysteries that surround young Lemony Snicket.

Train travel! Murder! Librarians! A Series Finale!§§On all other nights, the train departs from Stain'd Station and travels to the city without stopping. But not tonight.

The final book in Lemony Snicket's bestselling series, All the Wrong Questions.
