Ein Spielbuch mit lustigen Schiebern, das richtig Spaß macht! Auf jeder Doppelseite kann das Kind Fahrzeuge entdecken und benennen. Spielerisch erweitern Kinder dadurch ihren Wortschatz. Mit großen Schiebern und einer Drehscheibe können die verschiedenen Fahrzeuge zusätzlich bewegt werden. So entsteht ein lebendiges und aufregendes Bilderbucherlebnis: z. B. klettert der Feuerwehrmann eine Leiter hoch oder es dreht sich der Propeller eines Hubschraubers. Die besonders stabile Verarbeitung der Schiebeeffekte garantiert einen lang anhaltenden Spaß beim immer-wieder-Ausprobieren und Ansehen des Fahrzeugbuches. Durch die lustigen Schieber wird außerdem die Handmotorik gefördert.§§

""I was born in a harem in 1940 in Fez, Morocco..." So begins Fatima Mernissi in this exotic and rich narrative of a childhood behind the iron gates of a domestic harem. In Dreams of Trespass, Mernissi"

101 Reykjavik is a dark, comic tale of perverse sexuality and slacker culture in Iceland's trendy capital city, a place that more than makes up for its diminutive size with the many pleasures it can offer.Hallgrimur Helgason's unlikely hero is Hlynur Bjorn, an unemployed, thirty-something loner still living on social security in the protected environment of his mum's home. He spends his days surfing the Net, watching satellite TV, and gazing at girls in the pub, never feeling the urge to venture beyond the confines of his microcosmic world: the postal district of 101 Reykjavik.Determined to resist adulthood at all cost, Hlynur soon discovers that life is busy making other plans for him. His mother comes out as a lesbian, and her girlfriend Lolla moves into their home. Suspicion about his mother's late-found inclinations doesn't help Hlynur with his own identity crisis, not least as he finds himself irresistibly attracted to Lolla. 101 Reykjavik is a first-person account of a blackly funny and bizarre love triangle, a dark, comic tale of perverse sexuality and slacker culture in Iceland's trendy capital city that pokes fun along the way at such foibles of our culture as CNN weather reports and porn videos.

Relates the story of sisters Janny and Lien Brilleslijper of Amsterdam, who joined the Dutch resistance and created a clandestine safehouse in the woods, which became an important Jewish hiding place and underground center, before being captured by the Nazis and put on the last train to Auschwitz along with Anne Frank and her family. The unforgettable story of two unsung heroes of World War II: sisters Janny and Lien Brilleslijper who joined the Dutch Resistance, helped save dozen of lives, were captured by the Nazis, and ultimately survived the Holocaust.Eight months after Germany&;s invasion of Poland, the Nazis roll into The Netherlands, expanding their reign of brutality to the Dutch. But by the Winter of 1943, resistance is growing. Among those fighting their brutal Nazi occupiers are two Jewish sisters, Janny and Lien Brilleslijper from Amsterdam. Risking arrest and death, the sisters help save others, sheltering them in a clandestine safehouse in the woods, they called &;The High Nest.&;This secret refuge would become one of the most important Jewish safehouses in the country, serving as a hiding place and underground center for resistance partisans as well as artists condemned by Hitler. From The High Nest, an underground web of artists arises, giving hope and light to those living in terror in Holland as they begin to restore the dazzling pre-war life of Amsterdam and The Hague. When the house and its occupants are eventually betrayed, the most terrifying time of the sisters' lives begins. As Allied troops close in, the Brilleslijper family are rushed onto the last train to Auschwitz, along with Anne Frank and her family. The journey will bring Janny and Lien close to Anne and her older sister Margot. The days ahead will test the sisters beyond human imagination as they are stripped of everything but their courage, their resilience, and their love for each other.Based on meticulous research and unprecedented access to the Brilleslijpers&; personal archives of memoirs and photos, Sisters of Auschwitz is a long-overdue homage to two young women&;s heroism and moral bravery&;and a reminder of the power each of us has to change the world.

(Percussion). For thirty years, Liberty DeVitto was the driving force behind one of the biggest pop artists of all time. With his intense drive, endless creativity, and New York swagger, Liberty created the grooves for 13 platinum Billy Joel albums that have sold over 150 million copies, and wrote and performed the drum parts on 22 of Billy's 23 top-40 hits and all of his six GRAMMY@ Award-winning recordings. He toured the world multiple times as one of the most well-known drummers of his era. The amazing success did not come without a price. This is Liberty's story: a tale of an Italian-American kid who followed his dream and attained unimaginable success, only to see it crumble before his eyes, and ultimately experience a rebirth after passing through the fire of broken relationships, divorce, substance abuse, the death of a brother and a bandmate and the pain of losing the persona the world knew as "Billy Joel's drummer." In this compelling memoir, Liberty takes you back to his immigrant roots and ultimate settling on Long Island, a place he recounts in warm detail. He then traces a musician's journey: early childhood bands, a rise through the local club scene, wedding bands, building a career, his first tours, and then a juggernaut of success, excess, and stardom with Billy Joel. The making of each of Billy's albums is recounted in detail, with specific memories from the recording sessions of every song on every album from Turnstiles through Storm Front. Liberty then shares stories from the production and tour for River of Dreams and the end of his tenure with Billy. Liberty is a tale of following and fulfilling your dream, a love story of a drummer and his drum, and an inside look at the music and career of Billy Joel from the man who viewed it from the best seat in house: the drum throne. Miscellaneous Percussion Music - Mixed Levels Autorid: Liberty Devitto

This collection of speeches by African American women from the nineteenth century until today features contributions from such trailblazers as Harriet Tubman, Barbara Lee, Josephine Baker and Barbara Jordan. An uplifting collection of speeches by African American women, curated by the civil and human rights activist, scholar, and authorWhen Mary Ann Shadd Cary—the first Black woman publisher in North America—declared, “break every yoke . . . let the oppressed go free” to congregants in Chatham, Canada, in 1858, she joined a tradition of African American women speaking for their own liberation. Drawing from a rich archive of political speeches, acclaimed activist and author Janet Dewart Bell, the author of Lighting the Fires of Freedom, which was nominated for an NAACP Image Award, explores this tradition in Blackbirds Singing, a soaring new collection of African American women’s speeches, gorgeously packaged to make it the perfect gift.Gathering an array of recognized names as well as some new discoveries, in this stunning compilation Bell curates two centuries of stirring public addresses by Black women, from Harriet Tubman and Josephine Baker to Barbara Lee and Barbara Jordan. These magnificent speakers explore ethics, morality, courage, authenticity, and leadership, and Bell’s substantive introductions provide rich new context for each woman’s speech, highlighting Black women speaking truth to power in service of freedom and justice.With an expansive historical lens, Blackbirds Singing celebrates the tradition of Black women’s political speech and labor, allowing the voices and powerful visions of African American women to speak across generations building power for the world.

"A persuasive primer on police abolition from two veteran organizers"-- An instant national best sellerA persuasive primer on police abolition from two veteran organizers“One of the world’s most prominent advocates, organizers and political educators of the (abolitionist] framework.” —NBCNews.com on Mariame KabaIn this powerful call to action, New York Times bestselling author Mariame Kaba and attorney and organizer Andrea J. Ritchie detail why policing doesn’t stop violence, instead perpetuating widespread harm; outline the many failures of contemporary police reforms; and explore demands to defund police, divest from policing, and invest in community resources to create greater safety through a Black feminist lens.Centering survivors of state, interpersonal, and community-based violence, and highlighting uprisings, campaigns, and community-based projects, No More Police makes a compelling case for a world where the tools required to prevent, interrupt, and transform violence in all its forms are abundant. Part handbook, part road map, No More Police calls on us to turn away from systems that perpetrate violence in the name of ending it toward a world where violence is the exception, and safe, well-resourced and thriving communities are the rule.
