Das heißt aber auch, dass ich eben vielleicht noch ein paar Mal auf die Schnauze fliegen muss bevor es soweit kommt." West-Berlin in den 70ern: In dem Gemisch aus Abschottung, Kunst, Kultur, Politik und Drogen entstehen Parallelgesellschaften mit einmaligen Möglichkeiten, aber auch neuen Gefahren.

Cuando el hijo del autor le dijo sin pensar "He descubrido" a la edad de tres años, se quedó tan maravillado por la forma en que instintivamente había conjugado el verbo que pensó, si los niños a esta edad saben tanto, ¿por qué la escuela solo aspira a que llenen páginas y más páginas con letras del alfabeto desde los seis años? Este audiolibro reflexiona acerca de la necesidad de ver a los niños como seres con talento que merecen tener su propio espacio en la sociedad, en vez de construir ciudades que giran la espalda a algo tan esencial como su libertad.

For American children raised exclusively in wartime - that is, a Cold War containing monolithic communism turned hot in the jungles of Southeast Asia - and the first to grow up with televised combat, Vietnam was predominately a mediated experience. Walter Cronkite was the voice of the conflict, and grim, nightly statistics the most recognizable feature. But as involvement grew, Vietnam affected numerous changes in child life, comparable to the childhood impact of previous conflicts - chiefly the Civil War and World War II - whose intensity and duration also dominated American culture.

Attracting tens of thousands of men and women hoping to strike it rich, the Klondike gold rush brought with it a frenzy of activity unlike anything the world had ever seen. The few children who lived in Dawson City and its surrounding mining camps had front-row seats to this treasure hunt of the century - and to all the antics that a lust for gold brought with it. In this, her companion book to the best-selling Women of the Klondike, Frances Backhouse explores the experiences of the children who followed their parents north in search of fortune or were born in the goldfields.
