Many great safari guides are often very detailed and written for adults, while most wildlife books for children only talk about well-known animals such as elephants, giraffes and lions. This book is something in between - while it covers all mammals that can be found in East Africa (Tanzania, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda and Burundi), plus a few iconic reptiles and birds, it is meant to be easy to read and does not require a degree in zoology to understand... after all, we can only protect what we understand.This book is written for children, teenagers and adults of all ages and a perfect introduction to the wildlife of East Africa - it is equally suitable to be read at home while dreaming of Africa, or, for the lucky ones, to be used as a guide book on a safari.A portion of the proceeds of this book support conservation education programmes by https: //www.africanpeoplewildlife.org/ in TanzaniaHundreds of colour photos, illustrations and drawings of every mammal found in East AfricaA section covering common reptiles and birds in East Africa"Show-off-words" section, explaining important termsSwahili translation of every animal nameDistribution maps for all animals
Henry Mayne var skolad i Köpenhamn och till utryck och kynne mycket besläktad med de framstående danska målarna från förra sekelskiftet. Dottern Birgit Rausing har valt att skriva denna skildring av ett konstnärskap, där även fadern skymtar dock utan att skymma sikten. Det har blivit en inkännande yrkesbiografi. Maynes konstnärsskap lever inte kvar i det allmänna likt Zorns eller Carl Larssons. Ändå är det väl värt sin historia. Birgit Rausing är konsthistoriker och författare till en rad böcker, bl a om Ellen Trotzig. Hon är bosatt i Sverige och Schweiz.
Der Wind heult und die Fensterl den klappern. Kinder sitzen eingekuschelt um den Kamin herum und lauschen einer Geschichte. Eine Geschichte, die hunderte von Jahren alt ist.

Und nun als Geist wiederkehrt, um sich an Menschen zu r chen, die ihre Lieben betr gen.Es ist nur eine Geschichte, denkt die junge, frisch verheiratete Brigitte Johannsen, als sie zum ersten Mal davon erf hrt. Sie glaubt nicht an Geister, so macht sie sich daran, den Tod zweier Menschen in ihrem Umfeld selbst aufzukl ren.
'Health and human rights' is an important dimension of international and European human rights and health law. It is multi-disciplinary, engaging scholars and practitioners of public health and medicine, as well as legal scholars and human rights lawyers. Taking a 'health and human rights approach' means applying international, regional and domestic human rights law to a wide range of health-related issues. Human rights law informs other areas of law that engage with health issues, including international and domestic health law, biolaw and bioethics, patients' rights, and environmental law. It brings a new, and often more international, as well as a moral dimension to existing legal analyses of health issues. This is essential in an increasingly interconnected and globalised world, where health concerns are omnipresent and can no longer be addressed solely at a domestic level. This book focuses on the legal interfaces between 'health' and 'human rights', taking both a global as well as a European approach. Globally, there are tremendous challenges when it comes to the protection of collective and individual health. Such challenges include weak (primary) healthcare systems, the spread of infectious diseases, such as COVID-19, and the increase of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), as well as the health effects of air pollution and climate change. In such settings, human rights can, potentially, play an important role in protecting the rights of vulnerable individuals. It is a compelling framework for assessing these and other questions in the health field, as it couples health-related problems with a legal and moral dimension. The international recognition and definition of the 'right to health' is at the centre of this, but there are many other relevant human rights standards, including the right to life, the right to respect for privacy and family life, and the right to have access to information. International case law in the health field has made its mark when it comes to matters like access to health services, abortion, and inhuman and degrading treatment in health settings. Increasingly, links are being sought between human rights and other international standards protecting health, in particular the standards adopted by the World Health Organization (WHO). The European context is, to some extent, a region sui generis, not only in terms of health issues and health outcomes, but also from a political and legal perspective. The authoritative case law of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) of the Council of Europe has increasingly touched upon health-related issues. Health and Human Rights brings together contributions from human rights and health law experts from three different countries in Northern Europe. Together, the chapters give a rich account of the legal and interdisciplinary aspects and perspectives related to 'health and human rights'. This book is of interest to lecturers, students, practitioners and law- and policymakers and offers up-to-date analyses of crucial human rights issues in modern healthcare, practices and regulations in Europe and beyond.
Did you ever wonder what happened to the Lebensborn children, those that were intended to fulfil the Fuehrer's desire in creating a master race? This is the extraordinary story of one of them. It begins when 18 year old Lorenzo Benedetta walks-in on Andreas Kuhlemann-Salvaggi raping his unconscious mother and he reacts.
