    Upcycling
    Ausbeutung und Zerstörung der Umwelt machen einen Paradigmenwechsel im Ressourcenverbrauch unumgänglich: «Neues» Bauen wird sich vom Dogma des Neubaus lösen müssen. Baubestand muss wieder als Quelle von Ressourcen und Ideen betrachtet, seine Wieder- und Weiterverwendung als architektonisches Potenzial verstanden werden.Neue Ansätze in der Architektur zeigen einen Trend zu Konzepten des häufig genutzten, theoretisch und historisch jedoch kaum definierten Begriffs Upcycling. Dabei geht oft vergessen, dass die Geschichte des Bauens immer auch eine Geschichteder Wieder- und Weiterverwendung war - erstens von Baumaterialien und Bauteilen, zweitens von Bauwissen und Baustilen.Bauwerke wieder als Teil eines Prozesses im gesellschaftlichen Wandel zu verstehen, hinterfragt unsere heutigen Gewohnheiten und ein modernes Verständnis von Eindeutigkeit, Abgeschlossenheit und Autorschaft von Architektur.Die Publikation untersucht das Potenzial historischer Konzepte des Upcyclings - der qualitativen Wiederverwendung von Bauten und Bauteilen - und stellt sie neuen Entwicklungen in der Architektur- und Baupraxis gegenüber.Die Autoren gehen dabei der Frage nach, inwiefern sich neue Lösungen für die Architektur der Zukunft gewinnen lassen; damit «Wiederverwendung und Upcycling» keine Frage von Idealismus, sondern ein Argument der Ökonomie undgestalterisch-konstruktiven Qualität werden kann.Mit Beiträgen von: Alberto Alessi, Barbara Buser, Jürg Conzett, Elisabteh Crettaz-Stürzel, Anja Diener, Philipp Entner, Hanna Kuzniatsova, Silke Langenberg, Hans Rudolf Meier, Lisa Ochsenbein, Johannes Rederer, Nicholas Ransome, Fetanete Rashiti und Daniel Stockhammer.

    Swallowdale: Swallows and Amazons Series, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 624min
    For anyone who loves sailing and adventure, Arthur Ransome's classic Swallows and Amazons series stands alone. Originally published over a half-century ago, the twelve books are still eagerly read by children and adults alike – by all those captivated by the world of adventure and imagination. Such longevity is not only due to Ransome’s unparalleled gift of storytelling, but also his championing of qualities such as independence and initiative; virtues that appeal to every generation, whether young or old. Swallowdale (originally published in 1931) is the second title in Arthur Ransome's classic series. It follows the Walker family and friends through a shipwreck, a camp on the mainland, a secret valley and cave, and a thrilling mountain hike. Arthur Ransome was a prolific writer of children's books. Born in Leeds in 1884, it was his father, a nature-loving history professor, who inspired his love of the outdoors and nurtured a passion for fishing. As a child he enjoyed active, outdoor holidays: sailing, camping and exploring the countryside. He used many of these holiday settings for his children's stories, notably the much-loved Swallows and Amazons, a book that sits comfortably in the category of ‘timeless classic’. In 1936 he won the first ever Carnegie Medal for the sixth book in the Swallows & Amazons series, Pigeon Post. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gareth Armstrong.

    The Exquisite Corpse Adventure: A Progressive Story Game , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 279min
    It all starts with a train rushing through the night…. Well, actually, it starts when Jon Scieszka, former National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature, writes a cliff-hanger episode and passes it on to the next member of a cast of celebrated writers, who continue the story and passes it on. And what happens between episodes one and 27? Think werewolves and mad scientists, a talking pig, plenty of explosions, a blue Star Wars lunchbox, two meatballs, a whole army of villains and varmints, and one just plain bad egg. Not to mention the predicaments of our heroes, 11-year-old twins Nancy and Joe, raised in a circus, who must find the pieces of a Top-Secret Robot in order to rescue their parents before… tick, tick, tick! A collaboration between the National Children’s Book and Literacy Alliance and the Library of Congress’s Center for the Book, The Exquisite Corpse Adventure originated as a national literacy project for young people and helped launch the READ.gov website.

Anderson, Natalie Babbitt, Calef Brown, Susan Cooper, Kate DiCamillo, Chris Van Dusen, Timothy Basil Ering, Jack Gantos, Nikki Grimes, Shannon Hale, Steven Kellogg, Gregory Maguire, Megan McDonald, Patricia and Fredrick McKissack, Linda Sue Park, Katherine Paterson (National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature), James Ransome, Jon Scieszka (former National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature), and Lemony Snickett. ungekürzt.

When Cora Seaborne's controlling husband dies, she steps into her new life as a widow with as much relief as sadness.

As she sets out on its trail, she is introduced to William Ransome, Aldwinter's vicar, who is also deeply suspicious of the rumours, but thinks they are a distraction from true faith. As he tries to calm his parishioners, Will and Cora strike up an intense relationship, and although they agree on absolutely nothing, they find themselves at once drawn together and torn apart, affecting each other in ways that surprise them both.The Essex Serpent is a celebration of love, and the many different shapes it can take.
