      Gedichte für Kinder

      Hier gruselt es sich besonders schön! Ein Brillenbär kommt nachts herein – was will der denn? Er ist so riesengroß, dass man sich fürchten kann im Dunkeln. Und wenn er nur dasteht, weil er seine Brille nicht findet? Oder die Gespenster, die in Wahrheit bloß kommen, weil es in Kinderzimmern so schön warm und gemütlich ist. Ein bisschen Gruseln, ein kleiner Schauer, der einem beim Lesen über den Rücken läuft, das gefällt jedem Kind, wenn es am Ende einen raffinierten und spielerischen Dreh gibt, der den Nervenkitzel weglacht. Meisterhaft schafft das Hanna Johansen in diesen gesammelten Gedichten mit ihren typischen Kinder-Gruselgestalten von A bis Z, die nachts ins Zimmer drängen.

      Geschichten vom Sehen

      Das Buch erzählt ganz persönliche Geschichten, wie wir sie mit Bildern erleben können.Wie Bilder zu uns sprechen, wenn sie zu uns sprechen, hängt bekanntlich nicht nur vom Bild ab, sondern auch davon, zu wem es spricht und wann und wo es das tut. Darum können wir vor Überraschungen und Entdeckungen nie sicher sein.

      When Ann Hansen was arrested in 1983 along with the four other members of the radical anarchist group known as the Squamish Five, her long-time commitment to prison abolition suddenly became much more personal. Now, she could see firsthand the brutal effects of imprisonment on real women's lives. During more than thirty years in prison and on parole, the bonds and experiences Hansen shared with other imprisoned women only strengthened her resolve to fight the prison industrial complex. In Taking the Rap, she shares gripping stories of women caught in a system that treats them as disposable-poor women, racialized women, and Indigenous women, whose stories are both heartbreaking and enraging. Often serving time for minor offences due to mental health issues, abuse, and poverty, women prisoners are offered up as scapegoats by a society keen to find someone to punish for the problems we all have created.

      Use electric fencing to protect your livestock, poultry, beehives, and garden. Portable electric fencing is key to successful rotational grazing, while permanent electric fencing effectively protects gardens and orchards and secures large pastures. Through clear instructions accessible to everyone, you’ll learn when to use these methods or a combination of the two, plus how to plan for, build, and maintain your electric fencing. This crucial tool is cost effective and versatile, but veteran farmer and author Ann Larkin Hansen also explains what not to do with an electric fence.
