Описание: "I highly recommend A Bright Red Scream], because it's beautifully written and . . . so candid." --Amy Adams, star of HBO's Sharp Objects in Entertainment Weekly

Self-mutilation is a behavior so shocking that it is almost never discussed. Yet estimates are that upwards of eight million Americans are chronic self-injurers. They are people who use knives, razor blades, or broken glass to cut themselves. Their numbers include the actor Johnny Depp, Girl Interrupted author Susanna Kaysen, and the late Princess Diana. Mistakenly viewed as suicide attempts or senseless masochism--even by many health professionals--"cutting" is actually a complex means of coping with emotional pain. Marilee Strong explores this hidden epidemic through case studies, startling new research from psychologists, trauma experts, and neuroscientists, and the heartbreaking insights of cutters themselves--who range from troubled teenagers to middle-age professionals to grandparents. Strong explains what factors lead to self-mutilation, why cutting helps people manage overwhelming fear and anxiety, and how cutters can heal both their internal and external wounds and break the self-destructive cycle. A Bright Red Scream is a groundbreaking, essential resource for victims of self-mutilation, their families, teachers, doctors, and therapists.

Описание: Oct. 11th, 1943-A British spy plane crashes in Nazi-occupied France. Its pilot and passenger are best friends. One of the girls has a chance at survival. The other has lost the game before it's barely begun.

When "Verity" is arrested by the Gestapo, she's sure she doesn't stand a chance. As a secret agent captured in enemy territory, she's living a spy's worst nightmare. Her Nazi interrogators give her a simple choice: reveal her mission or face a grisly execution.

As she intricately weaves her confession, Verity uncovers her past, how she became friends with the pilot Maddie, and why she left Maddie in the wrecked fuselage of their plane. On each new scrap of paper, Verity battles for her life, confronting her views on courage, failure and her desperate hope to make it home. But will trading her secrets be enough to save her from the enemy?

A Michael L. Printz Award Honor book that was called "a fiendishly-plotted mind game of a novel" in The New York Times, Code Name Verity is a visceral read of danger, resolve, and survival that shows just how far true friends will go to save each other.

Описание: Die Studie untersucht erstmals judenfeindliche u erungen im Reichstag der Weimarer Republik und weist nach, dass Antisemitismus ein relevantes Deutungsmuster darstellte. Aus zahlreichen Beispielen der Themenfelder Ostjudendebatten, Barmat-Skandal und Reparationen sowie anhand des Umgangs mit Abgeordneten j discher Herkunft erarbeitet das Buch eine Sprache der Judenfeindschaft von manifester Propaganda bis hin zu kulturell eingeschriebenen Wendungen. Der antisemitischen Agitation der Rechtsextremen und den codierten Sprachmustern der Rechten stehen entweder ausbleibende oder zunehmend erlahmende Reaktionen der b rgerlichen und linken Parteien gegen ber. Sie verdeutlichen einen Mangel an Sensibilit t f r die Macht des Wortes und weisen auf ein Versagen von Teilen der ffentlichkeit hin.
