No matter who it is you meet in this book – the beggar, farmer, Count, Earl, photographer or geographer, the sheppard with his sheep or the sailor in the port … everyone we meet today is going to bed. Only the two of us are still awake, but we are getting sleepier and sleepier by the minute. Time for us to go to bed now, too!

Mother, father, child – but who is the seal? A mysterious picture book full of exciting pictures by »Master Heidelbach«. The story of a magical transformation has never been told with such phenomenal illustrations, so gently and yet so real.
Nikolaus Heidelbach, born in 1955, lives in Cologne. His picture books and illustrations have won numerous prizes, and for his work as a whole he received the German Youth Literature Prize of the special category. Many of his books for children have appeared on the Beltz & Gelberg list. Most recently he did the illustrations for Märchen aus aller Welt (Fairy Tales of the World).
Although Mama never goes in the water, she knows all the creatures that can be found under the surface – nine eyes, royal dugongs, squid princes, sea trolls and herring kings. And seals who go on land, peel off their fur and become humans. They protect their fur like a treasure so that they can return to the sea when they have had enough of being human. When the boy suddenly discovers a seal fur under the sofa, he thinks his Papa is a seal. But one morning he wakes up to find that Mama has disappeared …
Voices from the press on Queen Gisela »This is Heidelbach’s most complex story so far, he has become a sophisticated dramaturg – directing the details and letting the most monstrous things happen in our heads.« DIE ZEIT »Heidelbach’s illustrations put fantastic stories into scenes. Ingeniously artistic picture book experiences that will fascinate children and adults alike.« Kindergarten heute

A HOUSE, A STREET,
A CENTURY
A fascinating journey back through 100 years of everyday scenes in images. We see a house and observe its inhabitants, we look down a street and follow the changes through the 20th and 21st centuries. How did things look back in 1910, how did people live and cook and do the laundry? What did the children play and what did they wear? When did the first toilets appear and when did cars finally replace horses as a means of transportation? Which scars did the war leave and how did new houses appear from the rubble in 1945? Why didn’t kids have computers back then? And why can people hardly live without a mobile phone these days?

erufe / Arbeitswe lten
werksberufe gibt es seit dem Mittelalter. Damals waren die werker in mächtigen Zünften organisiert, die unter andeuf die Qualität der Ware achteten. Stadträte und Bürgerer wurden aus ihren Reihen gewählt. Heute verwaltet die werkskammer Maurer, Tischler, Schuster, Polsterer oder ede, und das schon seit über 100 Jahren. ede neue Zeit auch neue Dinge braucht, sind immer mehr werke dazugekommen – die heute zum Teil schon wieder wunden sind. Vor 100 Jahren gab es zum Beispiel noch
gel oder Wagenräder werden nicht mehr von Hand t. Das übernehmen heute Maschinen. Technik hat die n schon immer begeister t, weil sie die Arbeit erleichter t. man vor 150 Jahren begann, die Elektrizität zu nutzen, e Maschinen immer besser. Die steigende Zahl von benötigte immer mehr Dinge, die in Fabriken hergeen. Dafür beschäftigte ein Fabrikbesitzer Planer, die Reißbrett entwickelten, und Arbeiter, die Maschine n oder am Fließband standen. Vorarbeiter organisierten llierten die Arbeit.
es oft nicht mehr so viele Arbeitsplätze in den Indusn. Vieles wird von Robotern erledigt, die von wenigen über Computer gesteuert werden.
Seifensieder oder Nagelsch miede oder sogar Stellmach er, die Holzräder für Kutschen bauten. Handwerk war früher fast nur Männersache. Frauen durften lange nur in bestimmten Zünften als Goldspinnerinnen , Seidenweberinnen oder Garnmac herinnen arbeiten. Heute sind Frauen ganz selbstverständlich in Handwerksberufen beschäfti gt. Als Mädchen könnt ihr alles werden: Schornsteinfegeri n, Werkzeugmechanikerin, Anstreich erin oder Tischlerin.
Vor 100 Jahren erwartete man, dass Frauen zu Hause blieben, den Haushalt führten und die Kinder großzogen. Reichere Leute konnten sich das leisten. Frauen aus ärmeren Familien arbeiteten als Köchin oder Dienstmädchen, Krankenschwester, Kindergärtnerin oder Lehrerin. Nur langsam durften sie auch studieren und Richterin oder Ärztin werden. Ab den 1920er Jahren gab es typische „Frauenberufe“: die Telefonistin, die Anrufe von Hand vermittel te, oder die Sekretärin. Nach 1945 haben die „Trümmerfrauen“ gezeigt, wie hart Frauen arbeiten können. Sie holten aus den Trümmern der im Krieg zerstörten Häuser die brauchbaren Steine, damit man daraus neue Häuser bauen konnte. Wenn ihr heute als Mädchen studieren wollt, ist das nichts Besonder es mehr, aber ihr müsst damit rechnen, dass ihr für die gleiche Arbeit oft immer noch weniger Geld bekommt als die Männer.
Der technische Fortschri tt und die Erfindung des Computers haben dafür gesorgt, dass es heute viele Arbeitsgebiete gibt, die man sich vor 100 Jahren noch gar nicht vorstellen konnte. Biotechnik oder Informationstechnologie gehören dazu. Wenn ihr irgendwann einen Beruf ergreift, ist es ganz selbstverständlich, dass ihr wisst, wie ihr an eurem Arbeitsplatz mit den notwendigen Compute rprogrammen umgehen müsst. Über Internet könnt ihr euch die neuesten Informat ionen besorgen. Was früher dauerte, geht heute mit oft wochenlang ein paar Handgriffen auf der Tastatur. Manager von großen Unternehmen verhandeln mit Partnern auf der ganzen Welt.

Es ist kaum zu glauben, dass es heute trotz so vieler Möglichkeiten immer noch ein riesiges Problem gibt: Arbeitslo sigkeit. Elektronisch gesteuerte Maschinen, Krisen und Waren aus Ländern mit Niedriglöhnen lassen oft schon Jugendliche keine Arbeit finden. Seit über 100 Jahren versucht man mit Gesetzen, für Wohnung und Unterhal t zu sorgen. Heute möchte das „Hartz IV“-Prog ramm helfen. Aber es ist seltsam, dass reiche Industrieländer Kinderarmut kennen.

Little Kiko, big hero An adventurous and humorous tale of Kiko Niko, who becomes a hero through his courage and craftiness because the freedom of others is important to him. A wonderfully illustrated book about people and apes, about altruism and solidarity and the most important thing in life – friendship. Kiko is different – he’s got white fur – that’s why his mother named him Kiko, »Little Cloud«. Of course his parents love him, but otherwise his only friend is the little ape girl named Rischa. She stands by him when he gets bullied by Hong. When trying to escape from the boa constrictor, Kiko discovers something – the city of stone towers where the humans live. He leads his clan there when a fire breaks out in the jungle. Unfortunately Kiko is discovered by the world-famous zoologist, Professor Paul Fidibus Stängel, who wants to capture him. After a wild chase, Kiko gets caught in his net. But then things really begin to happen! In the end, even Professor Stängel takes his hat off to Kiko out of respect, for »One’s own freedom is wonderful – but to help free others is even more rewarding!« – a piece of wisdom that not only applies to young apes …

Seven ducklings without a mother – this is a case for Turtle and Hokuspokus, the ever-doubting swan! Turtle and Hokuspokus take care of the young ducklings, yet chaos seems inevitable. Numbering the little ones doesn’t seem to help, either! Things really get touchy when Number 3 waddles off towards the new luxury apartment complex. A wild (duckling) chase begins, which not only leads Turtle and Hokuspokus into the noble building, but in the end also even the wild boar Grrmpf. When Iwo, the fat, lazy fox disguises himself as a dog and moves into the building with a crazy old lady, pandemonium breaks out. »You can feel the wonderful power of storytelling and the linguistic poise on each page.« Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung on »Törtel, die Schildkröte aus dem McGrün« (Turtle From McGreen)

She is young, ambitious and burning with desire to research the origin of humankind. He is an artificially induced creature from the past and future alike. But evolution is not over yet … Tanja Jane Clark, scion of a famous palaeontologist dynasty, meets 18-year-old Jamie in Laos. Jamie is one of the carefully guarded secrets of science – he is a Homo erectus, a genetic recreation of early man who lived on earth 400,000 years ago. Tanja Jane wants to do research on him – and becomes more and more fascinated by this very foreign, yet familiar homonid. Full of enthusiasm, the young researcher agrees to a daring experiment… Where do we come from? People probably research the origin of humankind so persistently and with new methods again and again in hopes of discovering the answer to another even greater question - Where are we headed – in 1,000 or 1,000,000 years?

20 Biography
The phenomena of evil Cover: Rothfos & Gabler
His name is regarded as a synonym of the scrupolous demagoge and manipulator of millions. Alois Prinz uses some partially unknown documents to emphatically portrait Joseph Goebbel’s life – a man who became the merciless »Deluder of the People«. He was called the spiritual pioneer of National Socialism – Joseph Goebbels, or »little Hitler« based on his absolute loyalty to the »Führer«. As the propoganda minister in the Third Reich, he incited the population to persecute Jews and lead a war of aggression. When the Reich lay in ashes, he still fueled the belief in the final victory and in a »Wunderwaffe« (magic weapon). The »total war« that he inflamed with his speech at the Berlin Sportpalast in 1943 ended for him in Hitler’s bunker, where he permitted his wife Magda to poison herself and their six children, so that they would not have to live in a »world without Hitler«. »Seeing Joseph Goebbels simply as a diabolical agitator who cast an evil spell on a whole country would be too easy. I am interested in why he was able to fascinate so many people, using the aid of modern media to make millions of people into faithful followers of National Socialism. For above all, it is about recognizing him in time again, in case he returns, for example in the form of (extreme right-wing) populism.« Alois Prinz Already published:
