Forgotten Books Plutarch, P: Plutarch/'s Lives, Sachbücher von Plutarch
Dieses Sachbuch bietet eine Übersetzung von Plutarchs Leben, die aus dem Originalgriechischen stammt. Es enthält kritische und historische Anmerkungen sowie eine Biografie von Plutarch selbst. Die Anmerkungen zielen darauf ab, den englischsprachigen Leser mit den antiken griechischen und römischen Gegebenheiten vertraut zu machen, insbesondere dort, wo Plutarch bemerkenswerte Details in seinen Lebensbeschreibungen ausgelassen hat. Darüber hinaus wird versucht, die Lücken durch Informationen aus anderen Quellen zu schliessen, um das Werk zu einer umfassenderen Geschichte der behandelten Epochen zu machen. Die Publikation von Forgotten Books nutzt moderne Technologien zur digitalen Rekonstruktion des Werkes, wobei das ursprüngliche Format beibehalten und Mängel in der alten Kopie weitgehend behoben werden.

BoD – Books on Demand Sterben im Live Stream A1076773167
Willkommen in Kronenbrück, der Stadt, in der Fußball nur im Abstiegskampf spannend ist; und das Städtische Klinikum nur, wenn man seine moralischen Ansprüche auf dem Parkplatz abgibt. Drei Intensivpflegerinnen streamen live aus dem Herzen der Station: piepende Monitore, halbschlafende Patienten, Klatsch zwischen Infusionsständern. Auf StreamHubz läuft das unter dem charmanten Namen 'NachtschichtNackt'. Doch dann stolpert Martin Seelmann, ehemaliger Intensivpfleger mit einem Gespür für Skandale, über den Kanal. Aus einer zufälligen Entdeckung wird eine juristische Materialschlacht, wie sie Deutschland selten gesehen hat: Abmahnungen, Unterlassungsklagen, PR-Desaster und ein Gerichtssaal, in dem das Lachen manchmal lauter ist als der Paragrafendschungel. Satirisch, böse, rechtssicher; eine Abrechnung mit Streamingkultur, Krankenhausbürokratie und der schillernden Welt absurder Rechtsstreitigkeiten.
Dive into the Joyful Chaos of the Kennedy Household with the No.1 Sunday Times Bestseller from Jojo Moyes 'The best book she has ever written' Marian Keyes 'Wise, funny and glorious. She never ever disappoints' Lisa Jewell ' 'Her latest novel proves that there is no time like the present to rewrite one's own story ' Jodi Picoult *** Welcome to the Kennedy household: Lila wrote a bestseller about keeping your marriage alive, before discovering her ex was playing happy families with another woman. A woman she sees everyday at school pick-up. Bill, her stepdad, moved in after Lila's mum died. He's kind, old-fashioned and driving her absolutely nuts. Celie , Lila's eldest, hates school. Hates it so much she's stopped going. Her mother's fine with that - because she doesn't know yet. Violet is nine and sings age-inappropriate rap songs, laughs at fart jokes and Lila dearly hopes she'll never, ever change. And Truant the dog, who has just bitten the American actor who's suddenly landed on the Kennedys' doorstep. This is Gene - Lila's estranged father, and no one's idea of a role model. He walked out on Lila and her mum years ago - and wherever he goes domestic discord follows. Because Gene's presence changes things in unexpected ways. Soon the girls discover a kindred spirit in a man always chasing life's joy. Bill even loosens up. And Lila finds herself, astonishingly, dating. Something is happening to the Kennedy household - but what is it? And will it break, or save, their family? *** 'Warm, witty and wonderful. The kind of book you smile at whilst reading' Chris Whitaker 'Her best novel yet. Jojo never disappoints' Good Housekeeping 'Wise words and funny set pieces.

BoD – Books on Demand Flammenfeder Live von der Gartenschau A1050449840
16 Städte und Gemeinden unterstützen die Gartenschau an der Rems. Dies ist eine beachtliche, anerkennenswerte, große Leistung. Auch die Stadt Heilbronn hat ein wunderbares Konzept für ihre Gartenschau erstellt. Diese Leistungen und die sehr ansprechenden Pläne für die beiden Gartenschauen haben den Waiblinger Buchantiquar und Autoren Ralf Neubohn dazu bewogen, die Gartenschauen indirekt zu unterstützen. Und zwar durch Herausgabe der Gartenschau Trilogie. Die drei Bände sind inhaltlich sehr verschieden, behandeln aber meistens direkt oder indirekt das Thema Gartenschau. Es sind keine Fachbücher zum Thema. Sie sollen nur in unterhaltsamer Weise das Interesse und den Spaß an den Gartenschauen wecken. Sie sind bereits erschienen bzw. erscheinen noch in absehbarer Zeit. Die drei Bände sind: Ein Kurzkrimi-Band: Die Gartenschau Morde Ein Band mit Fantasy-Geschichten: Gartenschau Phantasie Ein Band mit heiteren Kurzgeschichten: Flammenfeder live von der Gartenschau Die Bände Die Gartenschau Morde und Gartenschau Phantasie spielen auf den Geländen der Gartenschauen Heilbronn und Rems. Flammenfeder live von der Gartenschau hat nur die Gartenschau von der Rems als Hintergrund. Die Gartenschau Trilogie soll einerseits für die Gartenschauen an sich werben, andererseits für die Besucher später eine schöne Erinnerung an die Gartenschauen sein. Dazu eine Werbung für den landschaftlich ohnehin wertvollen Kulturraum bei Heilbronn und an der Rems.
