    Abstract: Die Pille ermöglichte den Frauen einst, sich sexuell zu befreien. Heute dient sie jungen Mädchen dazu, den eigenen Körper nach gängigen Schönheitsvorstellungen zu formen. In ihrem aufrüttelnden Buch zeigt Katrin Wegner, wie die Antibabypille von einem Verhütungsmittel zu einer Art Lifestyle-Droge geworden ist und welche Risiken damit verbunden sind. Im Jahr 2010 konsumierten 87 Prozent der 14- bis 17-jährigen Mädchen die Pille. Viele von ihnen nehmen das Medikament jedoch nicht wegen seiner verhütenden Wirkung, sondern aufgrund der ersehnten Nebeneffekte: reinere Haut, volleres, glänzendes Haar und eine gröe︢re Oberweite. Die Pharmaindustrie richtet ihr Marketing darauf aus und bietet die neuesten Pillen teilweise im trendigen Schminktäschchen an. So wird die Pille zunehmend nicht mehr als Arzneimittel wahrgenommen und eine Abwägung von Risiko und Nutzen findet vor allem bei den Jüngeren kaum noch statt. Katrin Wegner hat mit 250 Frauen aus drei Generationen über die Bedeutung der Pille in ihrem Leben gesprochen. Auf dieser Grundlage zeigt sie, wie sich Liebe, Partnerschaft, Sexualität und Lebensplanung in den letzten fünf Jahrzehnten verändert haben

    Abstract: Um die Kölner Rede anlässlich des Anschlags auf "Charlie Hebdo" des diesjährigen Buchhandels-Friedenspreis-Trägers (s. auch "Ungläubiges Staunen", ID-A 39/15) erweiterte Taschenbuchausgabe. E. Mair-Gummermann schrieb in BA 6/09 zur Erstausgabe: "Kermani, 1967 in Deutschland geborener Islamwissenschaftler und Schriftsteller iranischer Herkunft, Mitglied der Deutschen Islamkonferenz, macht sich Gedanken über das Leben von Menschen aus unterschiedlichen Kulturen, mit unterschiedlichen Identitäten in unserer deutschen Gesellschaft. ... [Er] sieht den Zustand der Integrationsbemühungen in Deutschland optimistisch, fordert aber von allen Beteiligten Offenheit und Anstrengungen." In einer Zeit enthemmter Fremdenfeindlichkeit wichtig als "hervorragende Diskussionsgrundlage". (2)

    Abstract: Facettenreiche Darstellung des oft gewalttätigen Lebensalltags indischer Frauen, im Bezug auf Familie, Ehe, und Macht (auch die weibliche). Mitgiftmorde, Vergewaltigungen, Säureattacken werden anhand von Fallbeispielen dokumentiert. (Ruth Jäger)
    Abstract: Katharina Kakar ist Religionswissenschaftlerin und Ethnologin und lebt mit ihrem Mann S. Kakar in Indien (gemeinsam entstand: "Die Inder", ID-A 39/06). In diesem Band beschreibt sie facettenreich den Lebensalltag indischer Frauen in Bezug auf Gewalt, Macht, Vergewaltigung, Ehe und Armut, der sich in urbanen Zentren massiv vom Lebensalltag auf dem Land unterscheidet. Zum Thema "Widerstand" gibt es nur ein Kapitel (anders als bei A. Fontanella-Khan: "Pink-Sari-Revolution", ID-A 16/14). Sehr differenziert betrachtet Kakar nicht nur männliche Gewalt gegenüber Frauen, sondern z.B. auch die von Schwiegermüttern gegenüber jungen Schwiegertöchtern, die nicht selten Mitgiftmorde zu verantworten haben. Auch die Abtreibung weiblicher Föten wird durch die Dominanz traditioneller Werte häufig von Frauen selbst gewollt. Trotzdem steht natürlich die männliche physische Gewalt, die den Frauenalltag beherrscht, im Zentrum der Darstellung. Die zahlreichen Fallbeispiele, z.B. in Bezug auf Säureattacken und Vergewaltigungen, sind nichts für schwache Nerven. Faktenreich und gut geschrieben, farbiges Cover. (2) (Ruth Jäger)

    Abstract: Der Kulturhistoriker beschreibt in seinem allgemein verständlichen Sachbuch die Vorgeschichte und den Verlauf des Völkermordes an den Armeniern, die Rolle des Regimes der Jungtürken und die damalige unrühmliche Verstrickung des Deutschen Reiches an der Seite des türkischen Bündnispartners. Rezension: Der Kulturhistoriker Rolf Hosfeld erinnert an den Völkermord an den Armeniern. Das allgemein verständliche Sachbuch, das auf neuerer Forschungsliteratur und der Sichtung neuerer Primärquellen basiert, ist im Vergleich zu seinem Buch "Operation Nemesis" (2005) völlig neu konzipiert und verfasst worden. Er beschreibt die Vorgeschichte und den Verlauf des Genozids, analysiert die Rolle der Verantwortlichen, insbesondere des jungtürkischen Komitees, aber auch die damalige Verstrickung Deutschlands und deren Rücksichtnahme auf den türkischen Bündnispartner im 1. Weltkrieg. Johannes Lepsius, der sich für die Armenier während des Genozids engagierte und nach dem die deutsch-armenisch-türkische Begegnungsstätte in Potsdam benannt ist, mit dem Autor als wissenschaftlichen Leiter, war eine rühmliche Ausnahme. Mit einigen Schwarz-Weiss-Abbildungen, einer Karte, Anmerkungen, Bibliografie und Register. Eine empfehlenswerte, sachlich fundierte Darstellung. Neben dem Titel von Jürgen Gottschlich und vor Michael Hesemann (2015).

    Abstract: Customer Loyalty Isn't Enough—Grow Your Share of Wallet The Wallet Allocation Rule is a revolutionary, definitive guide for winning the battle for share of customers' hearts, minds, and wallets. Backed by rock-solid science published in the Harvard Business Review and MIT Sloan Management Review , this landmark book introduces a new and rigorously tested approach—the Wallet Allocation Rule—that is proven to link to the most important measure of customer loyalty: share of wallet. Companies currently spend billions of dollars each year measuring and managing metrics like customer satisfaction and Net Promoter Score (NPS) to improve customer loyalty. These metrics, however, have almost no correlation to share of wallet. As a result, the returns on investments designed to improve the customer experience are frequently near zero, even negative. With The Wallet Allocation Rule , managers finally have the missing link to business growth within their grasp—the ability to link their existing metrics to the share of spending that customers allocate to their brands.

    Abstract: “Finally! The book that helps you deal with irrational, impossible people.” —Oprah’s Book Club 2.0 Let’s face it, we all know people who are irrational. No matter how hard you try to reason with them, it never works. So what’s the solution? How do you talk to someone who’s out of control? What can you do with a boss who bullies, a spouse who yells, or a friend who frequently bursts into tears? In his book, Just Listen , Mark Goulston shared his bestselling formula for getting through to the resistant people in your life. Now, in his breakthrough new book Talking to Crazy , he brings his communication magic to the most difficult group of all—the downright irrational. As a psychiatrist, Goulston has seen his share of crazy and he knows from experience that you can’t simply argue it away. The key to handling irrational people is to learn to lean into the crazy—to empathize with it. That radically changes the dynamic and transforms you from a threat into an ally. Talking to Crazy explains this counterintuitive Sanity Cycle and reveals: Why people act the way they do How instinctive responses can exacerbate the situation—and what to do instead When to confront a problem and when to walk away How to use a range of proven techniques including Time Travel, the Fish-bowl, and the Belly Roll And much more You can’t reason with unreasonable people—but you can reach them. This powerful and practical book shows you how.

    Abstract: Bitcoin is more than just a volatile currency. It also has the potential to replace credit cards, lower remittance rates, and empower the unbanked. And it’s already forcing governments to pay attention. There’s plenty of misinformation about bitcoin—people making money, hackers stealing money, people using it to buy drugs—so even if you’re in the bitcoin space you likely don’t know what it really is, and what value bitcoin and the blockchain technology can bring to the world. This video will help you gain the skills and language necessary to use bitcoin and explain it to others. This is your first step in understanding how bitcoin gives us an opportunity to rewrite the financial system, and how the blockchain has the potential to decentralize our world. This video will answer these and other burning questions: What is bitcoin and what is the blockchain? How can bitcoin potentially bring value to me? What are bitcoin miners? How can I store, send, and receive bitcoin? What are the fees to use bitcoin? Is bitcoin anonymous? How do I use a bitcoin ATM? How does the price of bitcoin get set? Should I accept bitcoin as payment? How can I secure my bitcoin? Is bitcoin legal in the US? What are all these alternative currencies? What does the future hold for bitcoin? This video also includes interviews with influential people in this nascent industry, including Andreas Antonopoulos, Greg Kidd, and a number of bitcoin miners. Lorne Lantz , a passionate bitcoin entrepreneur and educator, has built multiple financial technology startups. He’s been programming for 20 years, and has deep domain knowledge in banking, payments and bitcoin. Lorne has launched several bitcoin projects and is currently building a more convenient method to remit money to the Philippines.

    Abstract: Protect your retirement from the next big crash with a New Twist on the Old Investment Strategy. For years, advisors have recommended that investors take a "buy and hold" approach to the market, but people over fifty can't afford to rely on this strategy. Buy, Hold, & SELL! uncovers the myth of the "buy and hold" investment philosophy, and explains why it's dangerously incomplete. Written by Ken Moraif, one of Barron’s top 100 Financial Advisors in the United States three years a row and who called the 2008 market crash in November of 2007, this book outlines an alternative strategy that better serves investors who are at retirement age. Written in easy-to-understand language and buoyed by Ken's trademark humor, this guide shoots down the myths that keep investors in risky markets, and arms readers with the knowledge, motivation, and strategies that may help them survive-and even thrive-during the inevitable next bear market. Too many retirees lost a large percentage of their investments during the market collapse of 2008 and spent years trying to regain their footing. During the collapse, many advisors told their clients to stay in the market. Ken did the opposite, advising his clients and listeners of his popular radio show “Money Matters” to get out of the market in November of 2007-before the economic meltdown. With this book, Ken shares his 26 years of experience to help investors prepare for the imminent bear market that could devastate their retirement plans. For those looking to build a sound financial plan for the long run, this book provides expert insight and solid advice with supporting charts, graphs, statistics, and anecdotes. Understand the buy-hold-SELL strategy Learn how to design a sell strategy to protect principal in the next bear market Find clear-cut information regarding retirement finances Discover the benefits of a diversified portfolio This book expands upon old advice to provide the most important part of the equation: a sell strategy designed to protect principal. The goal of Buy, Hold, & SELL! is not to make investors rich quick, but to help keep them from becoming poor.

    Abstract: Follow a pioneer's journey from factory floor to CEO Road to Power is the story of how Mary Barra drove herself to the pinnacle of a company that steers the nation's wealth. Beginning as a rare female electrical engineer and daughter of a General Motors die maker, Barra spent more than thirty years building her career before becoming the first woman to ever lead a global automaker. With $155 billion in sales and 200,000 employees, GM is widely considered to be a proxy for the U.S. economy, making Barra's position arguably the most important corporate role a woman has ever held. This book describes the personal character, choices, and leadership style that enabled her to break through the glass ceiling. When 52-year-old Mary Barra was named CEO of General Motors in 2013, only people outside of the company were surprised. She had done everything from working on the factory floor to overseeing manufacturing, from improving union relations to paring down bureaucracy, and from running human resources to helping drag the company back from its 2009 bankruptcy. This book details each step of her career, and the lessons she learned along the way. Learn how Mary Barra's willingness to take on diverse assignments helped steer her career trajectory Examine the fine details of Barra's management style and her ability to relate to colleagues Discover the qualities and experiences Barra had that drove her to lead this male-dominated profession Study the valuable lessons Barra learned at each stage in her professional life, and why they stuck with her throughout her journey to the top Barra is most certainly a pioneer for women in business, but she's also a living lesson as to how far the right outlook, skills, and drive can take you in your career. Road to Power explores the talent and the mindset that got her all the way to the top.

    Abstract: The authors conducted two surveys, yielding responses from more than 1,200 young professionals, and had 18 in-depth interviews to examine the work behaviors and experiences of early-career, highly skilled employees. They found that young professionals have short average tenures at organizations. Ninety-two percent of them are on the lookout for other job opportunities while employed, and their job search continues even if they seem engaged in their current job. They consider jobs with high stakes, top management support, and ample formal training the most valuable and important for their career development, and they want more coaching, mentoring, and formal training from employers than is currently given to them. The authors organize their conclusions around three themes: the rewards of job change, the job-search behaviors of this footloose group of professionals, and the management-development practices that may keep them with employers. The researchers note that their findings on the relationship between employer changes and promotions represent a radical departure from both previous empirical research and past conventional wisdom about job hopping and career success. A decade ago, it was generally believed that promotions accompanied with a disproportionately large increase in responsibility were more likely to be given to insiders than outsiders. This advantage seems to have eroded: The authors found no marked differences between the promotion patterns of job hoppers and those who stayed with the same employer during the early stage of their career. Young professionals have marked and ambitious career goals that are often not linked to any particular organization, and they don’t see frequent jumps across employers in a negative light. In fact, this relentless job search is not necessarily driven by dissatisfaction with the job and the intention to leave the organization, as traditional models of job search and turnover might assume. How do employers retain this group of employees? The authors’ findings suggest that developmental practices are essential. Today’s young employees crave development, especially assignments that offer clear responsibility and accountability for a project, and visibility to and support from senior managers. Organizations that are ready to give young professionals these forms of development will be the most likely to attract and keep them.

This complete video compilation puts you at the center of every presentation.

You’ll also hear from a broad spectrum of businesses whose industries are now undergoing transformation. Everyone’s asking WTF? (“What's the future?”), with questions that include: Which technologies will help existing businesses deliver experiences that equal or exceed those of new economy companies? How can augmented reality be used to "upskill" workers and consumers, creating enormous new sources of productivity? How will software agents and applied machine learning transform business workflows, not just consumer experiences? What tools and practices make it possible to manage a truly distributed, on-demand workforce? What kinds of industries—and new opportunities—can best take advantage of the 21st century approach to work? Pick up these videos and learn how technology is shaping the future of industries, companies, and the nature of work.

    Abstract: A continuation of 1994’s groundbreaking Cartoons, Giannalberto Bendazzi’s Animation: A World History is the largest, deepest, most comprehensive text of its kind, based on the idea that animation is an art form that deserves its own place in scholarship. Bendazzi delves beyond just Disney, offering readers glimpses into the animation of Russia, Africa, Latin America, and other often-neglected areas and introducing over fifty previously undiscovered artists. Full of first-hand, never before investigated, and elsewhere unavailable information, Animation: A World History encompasses the history of animation production on every continent over the span of three centuries. Volume II delves into the decades following the Golden Age, an uncertain time when television series were overshadowing feature films, art was heavily influenced by the Cold War, and new technologies began to emerge that threatened the traditional methods of animation. Take part in the turmoil of the 1950s through 90s as American animation began to lose its momentum and the advent of television created a global interest in the art form. With a wealth of new research, hundreds of photographs and film stills, and an easy-to-navigate organization, this book is essential reading for all serious students of animation history.

    Abstract: Unter den Augen der staunenden Weltöffentlichkeit haben Islamisten der Miliz Islamischer Staat in Irak und Syrien (ISIS) ein riesiges Gebiet mit Großstädten, Waffenarsenalen und Ölvorkommen unter ihre Kontrolle gebracht, das sie mittlerweile Kalifat nennen. Diese größte Terrororganisation aller Zeiten rekrutiert sich aus der arabischen Welt, aus Europa und gerade auch aus Deutschland. Sie gewähren zu lassen bedroht den Frieden in der Region. Sie anzugreifen birgt unabsehbare Anschlagsrisiken. „Said zoomt aber nicht nur die angeblich so neue und unbegreifliche Gewalteruption, diesen Selfie-Salafismus mit throat-cut challenge – »Machtpolitik mit der Hand am Sack« sagt Sonja Zekri, die Nahostkorrespondentin der ›Süddeutschen Zeitung‹, kurz und treffend – zurück auf Menschenmaß. Er macht außerdem klar, dass der akute mörderische Jihadismus kein Monolith ist. Er ist eben keine übermächtige Einheit, sondern zerstritten, also genauso endlich wie alles Menschenwerk. Kein Mittel ist so probat für Enthysterisierung wie diese Erkenntnis“ (titel-kulturmagazin.net)

    Abstract: Con el fin de prosperar en esta época de incertidumbre, este fascinante libro nos propone dirigirnos hacia lo desconocido, en vez de alejarnos de él.

    Abstract: Venture deep into the heart of finance's weird and wonderful paradoxes Dinosaur Derivatives and Other Trades is an entertaining and compelling tour de force highlighting the paradoxes inherent to the modern financial system. Presented as a series of striking case studies, this book explores certain enigmatic or philosophical puzzles in the finance industry; some of these puzzles may seem slightly absurd at first glance, but all are very relevant to the way finance is conducted in the real world. Each story highlights specific hypocrisies or moral dilemmas that lie at the heart of the system, guiding readers through the challenges of finance by way of innovative and memorable paradigms. Written in clear, accessible language, this book doesn't claim to offer original financial theory or philosophy as such, but instead deepens the reader's understanding of the system and stimulates independent consideration of the current state of affairs. The financial world, so often viewed as a rather dull place, is secretly alive with possibilities of strange and sometimes wonderful conundrums. There is the possibility, for instance, of a Manhattan auction house selling derivatives to buy swift-swimming predators known as Megalodons (thought to be extinct for millions of years). This book explores this and other curious propositions to point out the paradoxes of finance. Explore the meaning of "value" in different contexts Learn what the Old Testament can teach us about risk and uncertainty Examine an alternative take on the 2007/2008 credit crisis Consider how the "financial innovation" trend impacts the industry To truly understand something, it is necessary to crawl deep into the metaphorical underbelly and have a look around. Dinosaur Derivatives and Other Trades provides the itinerary, and the insightful discussion that stimulates curiosity.
