    The Breakup Bible: Why Relationships End and Living Through the Ending of Yours, Hörbuch, Digital, 219min
    Most of us will begin - and end - many relationships in our lives. Why is it so difficult to keep one love for a lifetime? Daphne Rose Kingma's The Breakup Bible is a landmark guide that shares a new view of why we fall in and out of love and why this painful process is not only natural but essential if we are to find true love. Vividly illustrated with real-life examples from Kingma's 25 years of work with couples in therapy, The Breakup Bible unravels the many layers of emotional experience after a love ends, to show that each relationship is a unique stepping-stone in our development as human beings. Kingma's profound insights take the blame and fear out of the ending of a love affair and contextualize it as a life-giving experience. Using checklists, examples, and exercises, Kingma offers real answers to such questions as: Why did this happen? What can I do now to start healing? Why do I pick the lovers I do? Will I ever love again? There are many insightful works on how to begin a relationship, but The Breakup Bible is a true classic on when and how to end one. Language: English. Narrator: Daphne Rose Kingma. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/sp/true/000865/sp_true_000865_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    What Works in Nordic School Policies?
    This book offers an original contribution to the area of international research on comparative education policies and the influence of transnational agencies on national school policy and reform. With a focus on grasping what the Nordic model or the Nordic dimension means in school and educational policy, the book explores in depth the school policy contexts of the five Nordic countries Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. It demonstrates how these particular national contexts engage with and contextualize transnational collaboration on issues like school reform, accountability, evidence and what works, and digitalization. The book situates these policy issues over a long period of time while integrating the latest developments and reforms. It demonstrates how context matters. It shows how the often elusive, but pervasive Nordic dimension can only be fully understood by painstaking scrutiny of the five national contexts, their particular trajectories and mutual interactions in formal and informal education.

    Cop Violence: Police Use of Excessive and Deadly Force in the United States , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 109min
    This book focuses on the use of excessive and deadly force executed by law enforcement agencies in the context of a racial bias operating throughout the United States and its criminal justice systems. America’s criminal system, past and present, openly displays an enormous amount of inequality and injustice against African American males, females, and other minorities. Are law enforcement agencies and the criminal justice system allowing police officers the right to desecrate minorities through the use of excessive and deadly force?This book focuses on the consequences of a US legal system that seldom if ever provides any retributive justice to police officers that kill unarmed African American, Native American, and Hispanic males. This book will demonstrate that minority male lives in America “do not matter” as much as Caucasian male lives do, based on the differential responses of police officers to these demographic groupings.This book reviews “up close and personal” seven cases of police killing unarmed African American males during the summer of 2014. By way, supplemental data on excessive and deadly use of force by the police are used to help contextualize this form of discriminatory control over the past quarter of a century.The higher rates of excessive and deadly use of force aimed at African American males, particularly in contested or violent neighborhoods, underscores a form of ethnic and racial injustice in America. In the affected areas, these social realities call not only for changes in policing, but also in the socio-economic relations and the organizational structures of ethnically depressed communities. ungekürzt.
