Berlin som tysk Rigshovedstad bd. I-II
I årene 1877-83 boede Georg Brandes i Berlin, hovedstaden i Det tyske Rige, som Bismarck i 1871 havde samlet under Preussens ledelse. Brandes redigerede i 1885 sine mange journalistiske reportager sammen til Berlin som tysk Rigshovedstad. Han ville »lære vor mægtigste Nabostat at kjende indenfra, midtfra«. Den store og flot illustrerede bog introducerer på første hånd til byens kunst og kultur og til de spændte politiske og kirkelige forhold i et samfund og en by, der dengang – som i dag – var under stærk forandring. De to bind er på grundlag af Sten Rasmussens forarbejder udgivet af Per Dahl og Per Øhrgaard.

The Symphony of Reflexes: Interventions for Human Development, Autism, ADHD, CP, and Other Neurological Disorders
Primitive reflexes play an important role in the development of the neurological system in all aspects of our cognition, behavior, and movement. They affect our quality of life, determine our potential, and even our happiness. For children with disabilities, a group of unintegrated or undeveloped reflexes can not only affect their ability to learn but also play a large part in other neurological conditions, such as autism and cerebral palsy. In The Symphony of Reflexes: Interventions for Autism, ADHD, Cerebral Palsy, and Human Development, Bonnie L. Brandes, MEd, provides a thorough discussion of these primitive reflexes and then presents specific movements in her program, 'QRI Brain Boost,' designed to help children with learning disabilities and neurological conditions. As the founder of Quantum Reflex Integration, QRI(R), the author uses acu-reflex points and cold laser to integrate primitive reflexes. Her programs are used in over thirty countries. 'The timing of this book could
