Stand up : Feminismus für alle (9783036958156)

Die Antwort ist ganz einfach: Wir sind von echter Gleichberechtigung noch meilenweit entfernt. Solange Heidi Klum im Fernsehen ihre dressierten Mädchen vorführt, solange die sozialen Medien alte Rollenbilder wieder neu beleben und Mädchen denken, es sei wichtiger, hübsch als klug zu sein, solange die Zahl der Schönheitsoperationen weiter wächst, solange Frauen für die gleiche Arbeit weniger Geld bekommen als Männer - so lange ist nicht alles gut. Julia Korbik hat ein Handbuch für junge Frauen geschrieben, die endlich etwas verändern wollen: bunt, unterhaltsam, informativ, auf dem neuesten Stand. Mit neuen Interviews und Porträts von starken Frauen, die heute Vorbilder sind: Emma Watson, Taylor Swift, Margarete Stokowski, Sophie Passmann, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Beyoncé und vielen mehr.

Beyond Good And Evil (9780679724650)

Gambar
Represents Nietzsche's attempt to sum up his philosophy. In nine parts the book is designed to give the reader a comprehensive idea of Nietzsche's thought and style: they span "The Prejudices of Philsophers," "The Free Spirit," religion, morals, scholarship, "Our Virtues," "Peoples and Fatherlands," and "What Is Noble," as well as epigrams and a concluding poem. Beyond Good and Evil is one of the most remarkable and influential books of the nineteenth century.

This volume offers an inclusive index of subjects and persons, as well as a running footnote commentary on the text. Product details ...

When everything around you is sinking, sometimes it takes desperate measures to stay afloat When Duncan Leland looks down at the garbage-strewn beach beneath his office window, he sees the words God Help Us scrawled in the sand. While it seems a fitting message-not only is Duncan's business underwater, but his marriage is drowning as well-he goes down to the beach to erase it. Once there, he helps a seagull being strangled by a plastic six-pack holder-the only creature in worse shape than he is at the moment. Duncan rescues the seagull, not realizing that he's being filmed by a group of conceptual artists and that the footage will soon go viral, turning both him and the gull into minor celebrities. And when an unsavory yet very convincing local, Osbert Marpol, talks him into a not-quite-legitimate loan arrangement, Duncan can't help but agree in a last-ditch attempt to save the jobs of his employees. For a while, it seems as if things are finally looking up for Duncan-yet...
