Was macht den Ort aus, in dem wir zu Hause sind? Hat eine Stadt ihre eigene, verborgene DNA? Im Buch «Turicum» geht es um die Stadt Zürich mit ihren 420 000 Einwohnerinnen und Einwohnern aus über 172 Nationen. Yadolah Dodge porträtiert Menschen, die eine enge Beziehung zu dieser Stadt haben. Sie zeigen uns ihre Arbeitswelt und erzählen von ihrer Beziehung zu Zürich. In Edis Augen zum Beispiel hat seine geliebte Stadt zu viel Geld, und dieses Geld zerstört viele schöne Dinge. Für den Pfarrer Ernst Sieber hatte jemand, der in Not ist und nicht für sich selbst sorgen kann, ein Recht auf Hilfe und Pflege, um in Würde zu leben. Die im Buch porträtierten Zürcherinnen und Zürcher geben ihrer Stadt, dieser aussergewöhnlichen Protagonistin, ihre Stimme.

In their first novel, Gottfried and Andrea von Siebenthal recount the fascinating true story of Emilie Steffen-von Siebenthal (1846 -1922) in a fact-filled and imaginative way: Born in Gstaad into a poor family of 14 children, Emilie, like many other people from the region, leaves her home as a young woman in search of a better life. After several years in Geneva and Paris, she returns to her home. As a baker's wife, she becomes an important person in the village and, unwillingly, a key figure in the village fire that destroys half the village in 1898 and changes the lives of those involved forever. Against all odds, she becomes a formative figure in the village as tourism begins to flourish - "Madame Gstaad".

Ein Ausflug in die Natur bedeutet, mit vielfältigen Stimmungen, unerwarteten Situationen und überraschenden Begegnungen konfrontiert zu werden. Dank Geduld, Intuition, Planung und Voraussicht gelingen einmalige Bilder. Das immer wieder erleben zu dürfen ist die Passion von Speedy Füllemann! Das Unterwegssein in der Bergwelt, die Schutz und Gefahr zugleich bedeutet, zieht ihn immer wieder in seinen Bann. Er spürt Wind, Kälte, Hitze und Nässe. Er findet Orte, wo Stille plötzlich hörbar wird, erlebt Momente, die so nie wiederkehren werden, spürt Demut und versucht, das alles in seinen Bildern auszudrücken. In diesem Bilband zeigt er Fotos aus seinem Tal, seinem Geburtsort, und rückt damit seine Verbundenheit zum Gletscherdorf Grindelwald aus.Mit einem Vorwort von Christine Häsler, Regierungsrätin des Kantons Bern.

In this selection of more than 80 recipes, Rolf Hiltl shows how flavoursome, how global and how good vegetarian food can be.
