Meet Gillian Cormier-Brandenburg: a virginal, narcoleptic, atheistic Harvard Divinity School student struggling to finish her Ph.D. thesis. When her fellowship is revoked, Gillian must venture outside the walls of academia in search of a new source of income as well as interview subjects for her dissertation. She takes a job at Responsibility House, a halfway house for recovering addicts. Here pintsize Gillian is charged with the unlikely task of imposing order on unruly tenants, including motorcycle-obsessed Janet, impulsive former prostitute Florine, and self-righteous Stacy, who begin to inspire her to rethink her own dreams and desires. A delightful read for all those who have ever wished they could be a little more than they are, Save Your Own is the perfect self-made Cinderella story.

Den kommunikative arena er betragtelig – grænsende til det uoverskuelige! Kommunikation er et omfattende og indholdsrigt begreb, og litteraturstudier illustrerer mangfoldigheden, men også, at der ikke eksisterer nogen altomfattende supermodel, der alene kan indfange området. Kommunikationsteori – en grundbog giver en første indføring til et kolossalt stort og meget vanskeligt afgrænseligt område. Denne grundbog behandler på forskellige måder kommunikation mellem aktører i forskellige perspektiver. I overskuelig form præsenteres såvel de forskellige teoretiske som videnskabelige retninger i relation til kommunikation, ligesom en lang række begreber præsenteres, defineres og diskuteres i bogen. Kommunikationsteori kan også anvendes som et opslagsværk; noget man læser i, når man har behov for et hurtigt overblik på et specifikt emneområde for siden at gå videre i originallitteraturen. I denne reviderede 2. udgave er de tidligere kapitler blevet opdaterede og der er nye kapitler om retorik og strategisk ledelseskommunikation. Kommunikationsteori – en grundbog kan anvendes på forskellige uddannelser og i flere sammenhænge i et studium. Den er ikke specifikt bundet til noget fag eller nogen uddannelse. Bogen er bevidst tilrettelagt så almen og bred, at den kan bruges på de fleste uddannelser og kurser, hvori kommunikation indgår.

"We need to evaluate how we spend time in our classroom by asking whether it is proportional to how valuable the activity is in fostering students' independence and growth." -Elizabeth Brinkerhoff and Alysia Roehrig Time is precious, and every teacher needs more. No More Sharpening Pencils During Work Time and Other Time Wasters shows you where to find it as well as research-based ways to align every classroom minute you can with the goals you have for learners. The most important learning in any classroom occurs when students actively engage in work that matters, so clearing away anything that siphons off learning time is crucial. Elizabeth Brinkerhoff and Alysia Roehrig provide tools for assessing your classroom time, a summary of pertinent research, and suggestions for planning and teaching that help make every minute count. Their strategies will help you create and leverage instructional opportunities by: finding new efficiencies in your classroom management improving alignment between instruction and learning objectives increasing the time students spend in higher-level thinking. "If we want students to become adults who spend their time in purposeful, constructive ways," write Elizabeth and Alysia, "we need to give them opportunities to spend their time purposefully and take responsibility for how their time is spent." Give them the time to become independent with No More Sharpening Pencils During Work Time and Other Time Wasters. Start reading now
The work of Esther Brinkmann is characterised by the meaning she bestows on the ring, its relationship to the hand and, perhaps most surprisingly, to its case. The Swiss artist prefers processed and textured materials, which now also include new component forms, techniques, and substances since her time living in China and India. She established a further education training program in jewellery design — a unique undertaking in Switzerland — at the Haute École d’Art et de Design (HEAD) in Geneva. Here, her knowledge and autonomy in her work have already shaped several other artistic careers. This publication presents Esther Brinkman’s oeuvre from the past 30 years and highlights for the first time the remarkable strength and the freedom that distinguish the artist’s rich career. Text in English and French.
If you like witches, ghosts, vampires, werewolves and things that go bump in the night, you will love what the authors from Tell-Tale Publishing have dished up for this year's horror feast. From the dead, the undead, and those beings who linger somewhere in between, they have left no tombstone unturned. So curl up in a comfy chair and get ready for a long night, because you won't want to close your eyes after reading this. Or will you?
Balance your body, mind, and spirit and heal yourself with your own hands using this clear, step-by-step illustrated guide to the practice of the ancient Japanese healing art of Jin Shin—written by a trained expert with nearly three decades of experience. You might be surprised to learn that the majority of today’s most common ailments including anxiety, backaches, colds and flu, digestive issues, immune disorders, migraines, and insomnia, can be alleviated naturally by restoring and harmonizing blocked, stagnant energy. The art of Jin Shin, based on the Japanese healing art of energy medicine, is practiced throughout the world. While related to acupressure and massage therapy, this holistic practice uses only minimal pressure and gentle touching with the fingers and hands to redirect or unblock the flow of energy along the body’s fifty-two points (twenty-six on each side of the body)—called Safety Energy Locations, or SELs—areas where energy tends to get congested. This simple, non-invasive process allows your body’s energy to flow smoothly, and with balance restored, you will experience a sense of wellbeing and calm. The Art of Jin Shin explains all the basics of this healing art and provides you with the knowledge you need to practice it on yourself—with exercises ranging from simply holding a finger for a few minutes to spending twenty minutes to harmonize a specific circulation pattern. Whether you desire a deeper understanding of the body/mind/spirit connection or want to create a daily Jin Shin maintenance routine the power is literally at your fingertips.
They say the veil between the realm of the living and dead is thinnest on one particular night of the year. Depending on your location or beliefs you may call that night All Hallows Eve or Samhain or Halloween. Whatever you call it, what would you do if you found yourself suddenly dead, but not gone? As in, you are still in your body, but your body is now a cadaver. Or what if you died, but you kept coming back, alive and well, over and over? This year, the Tell-Tale authors have conjured up some horrific tales of life and death and somewhere in between. So curl up in your favorite chair and be sure to bring a big fluffy blanket, because you're going to need something for these chills.

Jens har även bidragit med banbrytande forskning om sexarbetares historia i Skandinavien. Denna bok presenterar en brokig samling bidrag av forskare som alla har inspirerats av Jens Rydströms vetenskapliga gärning.
