Once children hit adolescence, it seems as if overnight "I love you" becomes "leave me alone," and any question from a parent can be dismissed with one word: "fine." But while they may not show it, teenagers rely on their parents' curiosity, delight and connection to guide them through this period of exuberant growth as they navigate complex changes to their bodies, their thought processes, their social world and their self-image. In The Teen Interpreter, psychologist Terri Apter looks into teens' minds-minds that are experiencing powerful new emotions and awareness of the world around them-to show how parents can revitalise their relationship with their children. She illuminates the rapid neurological developments of a teen's brain, along with their new, complex emotions and offers strategies for disciplining unsafe actions constructively and empathetically. Apter includes up-to-the moment case studies that shed light on the anxieties and vulnerabilities that today's teens face, and she thoughtfully explores the positives and pitfalls of social media. With perceptive conversation exercises that synthesise research from more than thirty years in the field, Apter illustrates how teens signal their changing needs and identities-and how parents can interpret these signals and see the world through their teens' eyes. The Teen Interpreter is a generous roadmap for enjoying the most challenging, and rewarding, parenting years

Die Begriffe, mit denen über Migration und Diversität geforscht und diskutiert wird, sind keineswegs neutral. Sie sind vielmehr das Ergebnis sozialer Praktiken und als solches selbst Gegenstand von Konflikten. Die Beiträge des Bandes untersuchen die Genese und den oft umstrittenen Gebrauch zentraler Migrationsbegriffe, ihr historisches Gewordensein und ihre politischen Implikationen: von "Ausländer" über "Integration" bis zur "Willkommenskultur". Die Auseinandersetzung mit diesen kontroversen Begriffen leistet einen Beitrag zu mehr sprachlicher Sensibilität in den aktuellen Diskursen über Migration.

This book historicises Anglo-American queer theory by excavating a rival epistemology that advanced a communist sexuality during the Cold War. It proposes a new dialectical theory that inserts socialist ideas and films in the epistemology of queer studies

On March 11, 2011, a tsunami warning was issued for Tonga in Polynesia. On the low and small island of Kotu, people were unperturbed in the face of impending catastrophe. The book starts out from the puzzle of peoples' responses and reactions to this warning as well as their attitudes to a gradual rise of sea level and questions why people seemed so unconcerned about this and the accompanying loss of land. The book is an ethnography of the relationship between people and their environment based on fieldwork over three decades

"Schwarzfahrer werden hart bestraft, Prozesse wegen Wirtschaftskriminalität eingestellt - Ronen Steinke, Kriminalreporter der Süddeutschen Zeitung, ist überzeugt: Die Strafjustiz benachteiligt arme Menschen. Er besuchte nicht nur Haftanstalten, sprach mit Richtern oder wertete dutzende Urteile aus - er zeigt auch, was nötig ist, um die Klassenjustiz zu beenden" (Platz 10 der Sachbuch-Bestenliste für Februar 2022)
