Hachette Books The Orphaned Adult: Understanding And Coping With Grief And Change After The Death Of Our Parents
Losing our parents when we ourselves are adults is in the natural order of things, a rite of passage into true adulthood. But whether we lose them suddenly or after a prolonged illness, and whether we were close to or estranged from them, this passage proves inevitably more difficult than we thought it would be. A much-needed and knowledgeable discussion of this adult phenomenon, The Orphaned Adult validates the wide array of disorienting emotions that can accompany the death of our parents by sharing both the author's heart-felt experience of loss and the moving stories of countless adults who have shared their losses with him. From the recognition of our own mortality and sudden child-like sorrow to a sometimes-subtle change in identity or shift of roles in the surviving family, The Orphaned Adult guides readers through the storm of change this passage brings and anchors them with its compassionate and reassuring wisdom.

Kerber Verlag Julius von Bismarck: Animals are dumb and plants are even dumber
This monograph is the first comprehensive publication of Julius von Bismarck's work, which has already attracted considerable notice on account of its inventiveness. The artist uses installations, videos and performances to explore people's ability to perceive, and uses the laws of physics to challenge the way we are used to seeing things. His interdisciplinary approach involves asking questions about the world and nature in a creative way, which gradually transforms the individual. This publication includes accompanying texts that discuss some individual works and examine the questions that are central to his work as a whole. Text in English and German.
