The poems in Because You Previously Liked or Played explore a world that is increasingly mediated through technology; the personal and political struggle for meaning, connection, and reality run like a fever dream through the schizophrenic circuits of television, cyberspace, and virtual existence. The poems in Because You Previously Liked or Played reveal an extremely online persona who finds life IRL challenging. In the reality of these poems, the reader confronts the difficulties and nuances of a world rendered more accessible, more instantaneous, but also more isolating, uncertain, even terrifying thanks to the internet. The speaker faces a social sphere that is bigger, faster, more politically unstable. Lyricism and personal expression are interlaced with the language and syntax of chat rooms, gamers, e-commerce, in a way that troubles the dividing lines between the human and the inhuman, the authentic and the artificial, the real and the hyperreal. The self morphs into a sequence of failed firewalls and emotions. And yet, the speaker continues questing for answers, for meaning, for connection. These poems provide an unflinching look at a wired existence, but they never lose their capacity for wonder, feeling, surprise.
Wie kann man Kinder, Jugendliche und deren Familien in der Therapie am besten erreichen? Und wie lassen sich junge Leute in gemeinsame Gespräche und Problemlösungen einbeziehen? Jim Wilson plädiert für einen „spielerisch-ernsthaften“ Ansatz und nimmt die Leser: innen mit auf eine Entdeckungsreise zu Möglichkeiten, das eigene therapeutisch-beraterische Tun mit Kreativität und Fantasie zu bereichern und dabei persönliche Beschränkungen zu überwinden. Jim Wilson knüpft an Theorien der systemischen Familientherapie an, plädiert für eine radikal humanistische, narrative Praxis und zeigt, wie Ko-Kreativität den auf das Kind fokussierten Ansatz im therapeutischen Setting bereichern kann – sei es in der Sozialarbeit, der Psychiatrie oder anderen kinderpsychologischen Diensten. Ausführliche Fallbeispiele veranschaulichen, wie Familiensitzungen auch bei ernsten Themen spielerisch gelingen.
Fakty nabitá biografie o kontroverzní osobnosti barvitě popisuje prostředí předválečné evropské smetánky v Německu a Anglii. Kněžna Stephanie von Hohenlohe (1891–1972) se z neurozených kořenů (její matka pocházela z Prahy) vyšvihla mezi rakousko-uherskou aristokracii, a to díky kontaktům z právnické praxe svého otčíma. Na večírku, pořádaném kněžnou Metternichovou, se seznámila s mladým knížetem Friedrichem, a přestože jejich manželství trvalo pouhé dva roky, Stephanii k upevnění pozice stačilo. Po rozvodu se jako svobodná mladá kněžna začala systematicky pohybovat ve vysokých evropských kruzích a od 20. let sloužila jako spojka mezi britskou šlechtou a německými nacistickými pohlaváry i samotným Hitlerem.
The elite police officers secretly launching Scotland's biggest ever offensive against organised crime had only one target. His name was Jamie Stevenson, but he was known as The Iceman, the biggest drugs trafficker the country has ever seen. Suspected of a string of murders - including the gangland assassination of his best friend—Stevenson's decade-long rise was built on ruthless ambition, strategic cunning and calculated, brutal violence. It left him at the head of one of Europe's biggest smuggling operations pouring tons of drugs and guns onto the streets of Scotland. The Iceman tells the astonishing story of Stevenson's rise and fall, offering a unique and explosive insight into Operation Folklore, the unprecedented four-year investigation that ended in his arrest. It lays bare the blood-soaked business of Scotland's most powerful crime lord and, for the first time, exposes how he made—and laundered—his dirty millions.
