Every parent wants the golden key to raising well-behaved, academically gifted, successful, happy children. Embedded in the collective psyche is the notion that discipline is the cornerstone to achieving these goals. Out of Control offers a never-before-published perspective on why the entire premise of discipline is flawed. Dr. Shefali Tsabary reveals how discipline is a major cause of generations of dysfunction. The author goes to the heart of the problems parents have with children, challenging society's dependence on discipline, daring readers to let go of fear-based ideologies and replace them with an approach that draws parent and child together. The key is ongoing meaningful connection between parent and child, free from threats, deprivation, punishment, and timeouts -- all forms of manipulation.

Obwohl nur wenig bekannt, gab es eine nicht unbedeutende deutsche Kavallerie. Aus den 18 Reiter-Regimentern der Reichswehr entwickelten sich ab 1919 zahlreiche Kavallerie-Regimenter. 1935 verfügte die neue Deutsche Wehrmacht über 13 Reiter-Regimenter. Durch die Einführung der Allgemeinen Wehrpflicht und durch die Übernahme berittener Formationen der Landespolizei sowie der Einstellung ehemaliger Offiziere der alten Armeen und der Reichswehr, wuchs die Zahl rasch an, sodass zu Beginn des Zweiten Weltkriegs eine Kavallerie-Division aufgestellt werden konnte. Jedes Friedens-Infanterie-Regiment verfügte auch über einen Reiter-Zug. Daraus wurden Anfang 1943 an der Ostfront reine Kavallerie-Verbände errichtet, die schließlich zu zwei Kavallerie-Divisionen anwuchsen. Weitere Aufstellungen bewirkten, dass in der zweiten Kriegshälfte sieben Kavallerie-Divisionen eingesetzt wurden. Im Juni 1945 wurden schließlich die letzten vier vollberittenen Reiter-Regimenter des I. Kavallerie-Korps in Württe...

Kaum jemand zeigt so ermutigende Wege aus der inzwischen lebensbedrohlichen, selbstgezimmerten Isolation des Menschen gegenüber der Natur auf, wie der amerikanische Philosoph, Ökologe und Anthropologe David Abram. Inspiriert durch die Philosophie des Phänomenologen Maurice Merleau-Ponty und seine langjährigen Reisen als Taschentrickkünstler durch Südostasien, auf denen ihn intensive Naturerfahrungen und Begegnungen mit indigenen Schamanen prägten, entwirft er eine vollständig im Körper verankerte ökologische Philosophie. Dabei ist für ihn der Körper keine mechanistisch-biologische Maschine, sondern das mit allen Sinnen wahrnehmende, lebendige Selbst, das unsere Sprache prägt und aus seiner Bezogenheit auf die lebendig atmende Natur heraus lebt. Mit seiner reichen, poetischen Sprache verlockt er zur sinnlichen Erfahrung einer sprechenden, fühlenden, beseelten und geheimnisvollen Natur und der Landschaft, in der wir leben. Diese innige körperliche Verbundenheit ist für ihn keine romantis...

Karen Coates and Jerry Redfern spent more than seven years traveling in Laos, talking to farmers, scrap-metal hunters, people who make and use tools from UXO, people who hunt for death beneath the earth and render it harmless. With their words and photographs, they reveal the beauty of Laos, the strength of Laotians, and the commitment of bomb-disposal teams. People take precedence in this account, which is deeply personal without ever becoming a polemic. Product details Format Paperback | 380 pages Dimensions 142 x 214 x 21mm ...

The World Bank's enormous global project entitled Women, Business and the Law is the basis for many of the amazing findings presented in this startling volume. A systematic survey of 173 countries around the world was undertaken, and each economy was evaluated in terms of the answers to 47 questions concerning the rights of women in that locale. Typical examples of the 47 questions include: Can a woman, whether married or single, apply for a passport in the same way as a man? Can she travel outside the country? Can she sign a contract? Are there criminal sanctions for sexual harassment? There are 40 other equally pertinent questions asked. Astonishingly, the survey revealed a direct correlation between how many freedoms women enjoyed and how much prosperity was enjoyed by that particular country. This priceless and pioneering book proves irrefutably, once and for all, that freedom for women equals prosperity for all. Product details ...

"I started out as a fashion photographer. One cannot say that I was successful but there was enough work to keep me busy. I collaborated with "Harper's Bazaar" and other magazines. I was constantly aware that those who hired me would have preferred to work with a star such as Avedon. But it didn't matter. I had work and I made a living. At the same time, I took my own photographs. Strangely enough, I knew exactly what I wanted and what I liked." Since the 1940s, Saul Leiter, an inveterate walker, has trawled the streets of New York, capturing its colors and spirit. His liking for disarray, solitude and elusiveness make him a unique artist, quite unconcerned about joining the throng. "I spent a great deal of my life being ignored. I was always very happy that way. Being ignored is a great privilege. That is how I think I learned to see what others do not see and to react to situations differently. I simply looked at the world, not really prepared for a...

Das gesamte Spektrum des naturkundlichen Wissens der Antike: Das 37 Bücher umfassende Werk des Plinius ist eine Enzyklopädie des gesamten naturkundlichen Wissens der Antike. Es bildete eine wichtige Grundlage der naturwissenschaftlichen Lehre bis weit ins 19. Jahrhundert. Heute schätzen wir die Naturkunde des Plinius als Quelle unserer Kenntnisse antiker Kunst, Geographie, Astronomie, Biologie, Pharmazie und Medizin. Herausgegeben, übersetzt und erläutert von Roderich König, Karl Bayer, Kai Brodersen, Joachim Hopp und Gerhard Winkler »Der Elch ist auf der Insel Skandinavien heimisch, er wurde in unseren Zonen noch nie gesehen, aber von vielen erwähnt. An den Beinen hat er keine Gelenke, weshalb er sich im Schlaf nicht hinlegt, sondern an einen Baum lehnt, den man ansägt, wenn man ihn listig fangen will. Die Oberlippe ist sehr groß, deshalb geht das Tier beim Weiden rückwärts, damit diese sich nicht durch dieVorwärtsbewegung umstülpe.« Aus Band 8 Pr...

Sometimes the man of your dreams ...Shop girl Poppy Fairchurch knows it's pointless fantasizing about the Duke of Autenberry. Still, dreams can't hurt anyone ...unlike the carriage Poppy spies bearing down upon the unsuspecting duke. After she pulls him to safety, the duke lapses into a coma and Poppy is mistaken for his fiancee. But one person isn't fooled: his arrogant and much too handsome half-brother, Struan Mackenzie. Soon Poppy isn't sure what she wants more ...the fantasy of her duke or the reality of one smoldering Scot who challenges her at every turn...is not who you think. An illegitimate second son, Struan may have built an empire and established himself as one of the wealthiest men in Britain, but he knows he will always be an outsider among the ton. Just like he knows the infuriating Poppy is a liar. There's no way the haughty Duke of Autenberry would deign to wed a working class girl. It doesn't matter how charming she is. Or tempting. Or ho...

With warmth, wit, and not a trace of self-pity (Entertainment Weekly), Betsy Lerner details her twenty-year struggle with depression and compulsive eating in Food and Loathing, a book that dares to expose the insidious nature of women's secret life with food. Alternating between hilarious and heartbreaking (People), Food and Loathing gives voice to one of the last taboo subjects and greatest stigmas of our time: being overweight. Lerner's revelations on the cult of thinness -- from the dreaded weigh-in at junior high gym class to the effects of inhaling Pepperidge Farm Goldfish at Olympic speeds -- are universally resonant, as is her belief that this is one battle no one should fight alone. Essential reading for anyone who has ever wielded a fork in despair or calculated her self-worth on the morning scale, Lerner's lament is a triumph (Publishers Weekly) Product details ...

We are all living longer. The World Health Organisation predicts that by 2050 there will be two billion people over 60 with 434 million of those over 80 years of age. But there's a catch: the quality of those extra years of life is shockingly poor. Many of us will find ourselves living with diseases and dependent on non-curative drugs and health carers as a result. We are not ageing well nor wisely. Dr Norman Lazarus, 84, is an exception. He is an expert on the physiology of healthy human ageing and living proof that our later years can be lived well. Even now, in his eighties, he leads an active and medication-free lifestyle, regularly walking and cycling long distances. Dr Lazarus has now written a remarkable book, with the aim of helping others to stay well for longer. The Lazarus Strategy is a part how-to and part manifesto on the art of healthy ageing to guide readers along the path to a more active, productive, independent future and a medication-free life. Norman will show u...

Horace Catchpole and Two Crude Dames is one of my most favourite stories. It gave me enormous pleasure to write and it is suitable for any reader from twelve to adulthood. It is set in Wigan in the early 1960's. The two monstrous women in Horace's life are a composite of every horrible and obnoxious woman that any man has ever come across. Imagine the worse kind of mother a chap could possibly have and the worse type of wife he could ever marry and then imagine trying to live under the same roof with each monstrous giving out their contradictory orders. That is what Horace Catchpole had to tolerate. Product details Format Paperback | 138 pages Dimensions ...
