Bogen er en 2 i 1 bog, som i billedbogsform leverer en god fortælling til både børn og voksne, mens den i et fyldigt efterskrift leverer videnskabeligt baserede oplysninger om børns seksuelle udvikling. Bogen er et opråb, da vi som samfund ifølge "Styrelsen for Undervisning og Kvalitet" og ifølge "Amnesty" ikke giver den nødvendige plads til børns nysgerrighed i forhold til krop og seksualitet. Billedbogs-delen henvender sig primært til mindre børn og børn i indskolingen i form af en spændende historie, som gør udforskningen af seksualitet til noget naturligt. Pigen Elba spørger sin far: "Far vil du ikke nok nusse min tissekone?" Dette spørgsmål bliver starten på en længere historie, hvor Elba får kigget i en anatomibog sammen med sine forældre, der forklarer om både drenges og pigers kønsorganer. Elba leger også med andre børn i børnehaven, hvor de udforsker sig selv og hinanden, og finder ud af, at det kilder og føles rart at blive stimuleret på sine kønsorganer. Pædagogen Anton er både accepterende, vejledende og korrigerende i forhold til børnenes indbyrdes lege, og viser dem, at det ikke er farligt, selvom nogen har overtrådt en andens grænser. Det handler bare om at få snakket om det, på samme måde, som var det en konflikt i sandkassen. Børn overtræder jævnligt hinandens grænser, og har derfor brug for voksenhjælp. I efterskriftet, som er rettet mod den mere modne læser, leveres der videnskabeligt baserede oplysninger om børns seksuelle udvikling. Her argumenteres der for, at børns mulighed for gradvist at udvikle en medfødt spirende seksualitet har betydning for, hvorvidt der udvikles en sund og velfungerende personlighed, som evner både nærvær, intimitet og respekt. Som nævnt, er der i den proces - som i alle andre sammenhænge med børn - behov for, at voksne regulerer og hjælper børn på vej i forhold til at være lydhøre overfor hinanden og samfundets normer. Dertil nævnes det, at denne læring om egen krop sammen med en fortrolighed i forhold til at tale om seksualitet, også kan være præventiv i forhold til seksuelle overgreb. Endelig skal det nævnes, at bogen vil være egnet som læse-let læsning for lidt større børn, der gradvist også vil kunne trække mere forståelse ud af bogens anatomiske illustrationer og ud af efterskriftet til voksne. Det er nemmere at skabe sunde og velfungerende børn, end at afhjælpe, når de bliver voksne. Findes også som lyd- og eBog. eBog: ISBN: 978-87-93824-02-7 Lydbog: ISBN: 978-87-93824-01-0

Et praktisk og detaljeret opslagsværk Lov om finansiel virksomhed er en af de mest omfattende enkeltlove, der findes i dag. Loven trådte i kraft i 2004, og denne lovkommentar, som nu foreligger i 2. udgave, er den eneste bog, der omfatter loven. Formålet med lovkommentaren er at give praktikeren et anvendeligt værktøj, og forfatterne har derfor tilstræbt at gøre kommentaren meget detaljeret. De enkelte bestemmelser i hver paragraf forklares grundigt og inddrager baggrund og formål. Der henvises løbende til relevant praksis, herunder afgørelser. Med hjemmel i loven er der udstedt et stort antal bekendtgørelser, vejledninger og indberetningsskemaer. I kommentaren er disse omtalt, hvor de har større betydning for forståelsen af lovens bestemmelser. Nyt i 2. udgave Lovgivningen ændres adskillige gange hvert år, ligesom der kommer ny praksis til, hvorfor en ny udgave er påkrævet. Dog har der ikke været markante ændringer i lovgivningen siden 1. udgaven fra 2007. Bogen findes også i en onlineversion, som opdateres løbende. Læs mere om onlineversionen her.

Siden demokratiets indførsel i Danmark har samfundet været i konstant forandring. Folketinget har vedtaget et væld af love og truffet beslutninger, der alle har haft større eller mindre indvirkning på Danmark. "Politik der forandrede Danmark" ser nærmere på de 65 mest skelsættende og betydningsfulde politiske tiltag. Grundloven, NATO, sygesikringen, Det Indre Marked, parlamentarismen og naturfredningsloven har alle på hver sin måde haft enorm indflydelse på den måde, det danske samfund har udviklet sig.idden /title /head body center h1 403 Forbidden /h1 /center /body /htmlKaare R.

Bogen indeholder en gennemgang af retspraksis med referater af væsentlige afgørelser, navnlig af nyere dato. Bogen forholder sig til de fortolkningsspørgsmål, loven giver anledning hertil, herunder de spørgsmål, hvorom der er uenighed i litteraturen, og de punkter med hensyn til bl.a. vederlagskrav og nye særejeformer, hvor lov om ægtefællers økonomiske forhold vil have betydning for fortolkning af arveloven. Bogen er ajourført med ny retspraksis og litteratur frem til juni 2017. Endvidere er bogen ajourført med de ændringer af loven, der er en følge af den nye lov om ægtefællers økonomiske forhold (som erstatter lov om ægteskabets retsvirkninger), og som træder i kraft den 1. januar 2018.

I ”gamle dage” var markedsføringsloven overskuelig, men i dag er loven noget mere kompleks med fx de elastiske bestemmelser om ”god markedsføringsskik” og ”vildledning”.Denne bog giver en grundig gennemgang og analyse af alle lovens områder med udgangspunkt i retspraksis, lovforarbejder og EU-retsakter. Bogens formål er at være en håndbog for praktikere.Bogen gennemgår bl.a. lovens bestemmelser vedr.:Produktefterligninger, renommésnyltning, loyalitetspligt, miskreditering, sammenlignende reklame og erhvervshemmeligheder Særregler om skjult reklame, markedsføring over for børn og unge, salgsfremmende foranstaltninger, slagtilbud, kreditmarkedsføring og gebyrer mv. Regler om spam og andre direct marketingaktiviteter Regler, der beskytter forbrugerne mod urimelige vilkår. Sanktionsvalget, inkl. Forbrugerombudsmandens beføjelser og reglerne, om erstatning, vederlag og straf.Nyt i 3. udgaveMarkedsføringsloven dækker såvel traditionelle som nutidige problemstillinger, men bl.a. den teknologiske udvikling gør, at en lang række markedsføringstiltag reelt er ubehandlet i loven. Bogen forsøger i et vist omfang at tage højde herfor, og 3.-udgaven er på alle centrale områder omskrevet i forhold til 2.-udgaven. Retspraksis vedr. produktefterligninger har desuden udviklet sig markant i de senere år. Bogen behandler også EU-direktiverne om urimelig handelspraksis og vildledning og EU-Domstolens afgørelser i tilknytning hertil samt EU’s ganske betydelige påvirkning af den danske lov.MålgruppeBogen henvender sig til advokater, domstolene, rådgivere i organisationer, virksomhedsjurister og andre praktikere, der skal forholde sig til markedsføringsretlige problemstillinger.

”Stemningen er trykket. Vi er alle nervøse, og ingen af os siger noget. Vores læber er spændt sammen, og vores arme er lagt over kors. Vi sidder i vagtrummet på intensiv afdeling hvor vi ellers plejer at dele vores anekdoter og ugens sjove påfund med hinanden. Græd soldaterne ved fronten? Måske.””Det der har været mest mærkeligt for mig har været at komme ud blandt andre mennesker, alt er forandret på en ubehagelig måde, alle er påpasselige i et stort omfang, at de hverken smiler eller ser på hinanden, der bliver derimod holdt godt øje med om man overholder regler og hele stemningen føles trykket””At jeg kan høre livsmodet hos ham bliver mindre for hver dag! At han tænker på at hive sit PVK (Perifer Vene Kateter) i halsen ud, så han forbløder, så er dette ikke kritisk nok til at jeg må få lov til at se min elskede far, og hjælpe ham over den hurdle han står overfor - som han har hjulpet mig millioner af gange.Jeg er ved at gå til i sorg og savn – nu hvor Danmark er ved at åbne op igen og komme ud af sin ”pausetilstand”.”Mit hjerte forelskede sig”.

What does it mean to be a man? While this is a key question for at least half the popula-tion of the world, Ole Bjerg argues that it has been largely forgotten by philosophy. In his groundbreaking new book, he mobilizes ideas from Martin Heidegger and Hannah Ar-endt to coin the notion of Being-Man as an alternative to the conventional talk about gender and identity. This leads into an exploration of love, sex, work, art, truth, father-hood, women, and other existential issues confronting men in our efforts to make sense of ourselves and our lives today.The Meaning of Being a Man may be read by anyone, but it is explicitly written for men who are discontented with contemporary academic debates about men and women and yet still believe that philosophy has something valuable to say on these matters.Ole Bjerg (b. 1974) is an Associate Professor in Philosophy and Economics at the Copenhagen Business School. A list of previous books in English include Parallax of Growth (Polity Press 2016), Making Money (Verso 2014) and Poker: The Parody of Capitalism (University of Michigan Press 2011).

Ulrik Adinatha Lyshøj, tantra teacher, tantric practitioner and leader of the Tantra Temple, talks to Lotte Søs Farran-Lee, writer and publisher, in this first book in the series “Let's Talk”. The book offers an open conversation about tantra, and plenty of resources and inspiration for the daily life for both Tantrics and people who do not see themselves as Tantrics. The conversation covers the different core aspects of tantra, and how to reignite love, playfulness, attraction and communication with a partner - but also how to keep the flame alive. It describes the four cornerstones in tantra, as well as the chakra system, and how to work consciously with one's own energy. It also describes why love is both the foundation, the path and a magic tool of transformation in tantra. The book offers an insight into some of the more mystical aspects of tantra - and makes these aspects available for modern day people, in a immediately applicable way. Ulrik Adinatha and Lotte also talks about tantra massage and why it has become such a major life changer for so many people. The book will debunk some of the myths and misunderstandings, describing tantra as a genuine path to deeper self knowledge, more love and joy in life, and deep transformation. The book offers inspiration for both newbies in tantra as well as more experienced practitioners. About Let’s Talk serien The Let’s Talk book is a book series of vital books on di erent subjects.

Stella Anderson Lockwood had lived a life of constant grooming and suppression, plagued by visions and surrounded by lies. She was smart and curious of nature, perhaps a little too much for her own good. When rumors of a beast with immense powers, some similar to her own started going around, she decided to leave behind her old life and everything she had known, to find out the truth. One fateful day, she took the chance and fled from the village, into the woods that surrounded her home, where the beast was said to be residing. She had put her life in danger without any thought for the consequences that would follow, leaving behind her sister and her home, and throwing away her right to ever return to the village.There was no turning back. She needed to know if the rumors were true, even if the truth would come at the cost of her life...

A Study in the Ephemeral is a poetry collection written in-between worlds, emotions, thoughts. The poems were written at night, at day and in-between joy, love and despair. They are the ephemeral in nature, the changing echo of it all, fleeting and passing quickly - yet returning. It is a search for the existential value in human life and love.Stories carry powerful meanings, they are how generations leave behind condensed meanings of a life lived and experienced. They have the power to move us or remind us of how the future often repeats the past.From stories we learn to see ourselves from what is reflected back at us. It is not always the words, but what we feel reading the words, what they remind us of in that moment.Art like poetry is about distilling the nature of life down to its essence. Allowing us to enter other worlds or reflect back on ourselves from a place beyond us. In freeing these constraints we can truly perceive.Journey down the ephemeral, sit by the fire, open a glass of wine . This book will feel like a long lost relatable friend on a journey just begun.

In my 2. book in the English language "Confessions" I continue right down the road of the memory lane, both past and present. And it has once more been with a lot of mixed feelings to write these biographical poems, because some of them goes deep and hurts inside, by refreshing them from the memory. But fortunately, there has been both sad and joyful memories in my life, which the poems also reflect. And you know, in a strange way it has been a nice therapeutic relief to get rid of. Sometimes it is good for the mental health for a person to take a good look inside oneself and clean up all the drawers and cabinets the memory bank, to erase all the bad and negative things and get on with life, because you can not use it for anything anywayEnjoy. This i a powerfull book of alkoholabuse, drama and love.

Magnetic fields, pulling me closer, to your polar, closer to the equator, oceans rumbling, repeatedly, clashing closer to infinity, moments freezing, like ice drops, during a solar eclipse; don’t look up, the light lashes will blind you, seeing you clearly, once your volcano erupts, and my tides pull back, the earthquakes begin, slowly our earth takes shape, creating new continents for life to begin.

A couple's relationship is not just about two people. Numerous unconscious psychological scripts from the collective sphere and mandates inherited from family history affect our way of living love, one of the most significant human experiences. The psychotherapists and Master Trainer in NLP, Jessica Riberi and Inge Ludvigsen, combine their professional and teaching experience in Chile and Denmark, and propose a system to align six energy fields that promote and strengthen the love bond. "Jessica Riberi and Inge Ludvigsen have written a delightful and very helpful guide to how archetypal forms - that is, the patterns of the universal energies of human being - can support and transform intimate relationships. They are especially good in describing how to develop more mature and generative levels of each universal energy. I highly recommend it to both people helpers, as well as those seeking deeper intimacy connections."Stephen Gilligan, psychologist, author of The Courage to Love and The Hero's Journey (with Robert Dilts)"What could be more important and timely than having pathways to bring more quality into our relationships.  We are relational beings seeking the connections for outcomes of life: partners, families, work-spaces and communities.  Connection is there but managing these connections is quite a different order.  This is where archetypes guide us by reflecting back an ideal.  Not that we ever really get to the ideal but they remind us to  bring awareness to the learning and the nurturing of the relationships that bring the joy to our lives.  Thank you so much for this book, The Journey of love in couples as it also can bring us some hope for our inner and outer peace"Judith DeLozier, anthropologist, coauthor of Turtle all the way down (with John Grinder) and Encyclopedia of Systemic NLP (with Robert Dilts).

What you are about to read in this book are poetic conversations between two people in love that have never met physically. It is both a play and sincerity with words, concepts, emotions and life that unfolds a love story that we wanted to give to others to say that love isn´t impossible and it has no borders.It is also a book where we put out our ideas that, in our opinion, are essential concepts for love to thrive while getting to know each other as a couple would in the beginning of any relationship.You will see the authors are quite different, but on the same path. Her words are wild like paint splattered on a canvas with brush strokes everywhere and he responds in a more poetically choreographed manner to create "Poetic Conversations".Monica and Jørgen

The blazingly brilliant new novel from Elizabeth Gilbert, author of the international bestseller Eat Pray Love: a glittering coming-of-age epic stitched across the fabric of a lost New York ... It is the summer of 1940. Nineteen-year-old Vivian Morris arrives in New York with her suitcase and sewing machine, exiled by her despairing parents. Although her quicksilver talents with a needle and commitment to mastering the perfect hair roll have been deemed insufficient for her to pass into her sophomore year of Vassar, she soon finds gainful employment as the self-appointed seamstress at the Lily Playhouse, her unconventional Aunt Peg's charmingly disreputable Manhattan revue theatre. There, Vivian quickly becomes the toast of the showgirls, transforming the trash and tinsel only fit for the cheap seats into creations for goddesses. Exile in New York is no exile at all: here in this strange wartime city of girls, Vivian and her girlfriends mean to be free, to get up to no good, to drink the heady highball of life itself to the last drop. And when the legendary English actress Edna Watson comes to the Lily to star in the company's most ambitious show ever, Vivian is entranced by the magic that follows in the wake of this true, true star. But there are hard lessons to be learned, and bitterly regrettable mistakes to be made. Vivian learns that to live the life she wants, she must live many lives, ceaselessly and ingeniously making them new. `At some point in a woman's life, she just gets tired of being ashamed all the time. After that, she is free to become whoever she truly is,' she confides. And so Vivian sets forth her story, and that of the women around her - women who have lived as they truly are, out of step with a century that could never quite keep up with them.

There has to be a deep searching out in the heart for forgiveness and repentance in order to walk in the favour of the Lord: a thoroughly cleansing of the heart, being washed with the love of Christ - that brings it back to the place within, in which Christ intended to be. Unanswered prayers are hidden in this mystery of Christ. They are hidden because many don’t allow time in Christ to work its way through it. Forgiveness and repentance lead to financial breakthrough but also the blessings and favour from the Lord that He truly wants His people to experience and live in. Do you have: Unanswered prayers in your financial situation? Unanswered prayers in your relationships? Unanswered prayers in your family life? Unanswered prayers for things that money can’t buy: a child, a spouse or a job?
