Monique Villa Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)

Now with a foreword by trafficking survivor Evelyn Chumbow, of The Human Trafficking Legal Center.The horrific world of modern slavery is exposed in this book based on the first-hand experiences of victims of human trafficking.Through the stories of three remarkable individuals who share how they fell victim to traffickers and how their bodies and souls resisted an enterprise of total destruction, Monique Villa takes us around the world--from Ohio to Tokyo, London to India, Qatar to Colombia--to uncover a parallel world where men, women, and children are dehumanized and reduced to obedient machines. Written by a global leader in the fight against human trafficking, this powerful book uncovers the hidden world of slaves--no longer physically in chains--who walk among us, trapped in a cycle of exploitation. Despite significant progress in the fight for human rights, slavery continues to flourish. In fact, there are more slaves today, in countries rich and poor, than at any point in the past. By giving voice to survivors of this horrific trade, Villa vividly illustrates dire situations we can do something about. Her call to action outlines concrete steps to safeguard the vulnerable among us and to eliminate slavery in our time.The author is donating all proceeds from sales of this book to help combat human trafficking.

Aussergewöhnliche Fotos von REUTERS erzählen die Geschichte von Momenten, die die Welt nachhaltig verändert haben. Ein einzigartiges Dokument der Zeitgeschichte, optisch brillant und journalistisch fundiert aufbereitet. Kein Jahrhundert wurde derart lautstark angekündigt, derart ungeduldig erwartet und noch vor seinem Beginn derart eingehend analysiert wie das Einundzwanzigste. Doch niemand hätte etwas von den dramatischen Entwicklungen ahnen können, mit denen uns die ersten Jahre des dritten Jahrtausends tatsächlich überraschten. Was also können wir über den Zustand der Welt sagen, nachdem nun gut ein halbes Jahrzehnt des neuen Jahrhunderts verstrichen ist? Was wurde aus all den Prognosen und Prophezeiungen?

The Art of Sport offers a striking collection of sporting pictures taken by Reuters photographers who have had the vision to see and capture extraordinary moments of prowess, drama and beauty from the world of sport. A mixture of first-hand accounts and fine imagery, the photographs in this collection bring alive some of the most colorful, eventful and memorable moments in recent sporting events from around the world. They comprise a story with many threads--action, celebration, skill, power and grace--and offer some of the most spectacular and significant sporting images you will ever see. Some will be familiar, others will jog memories, but most will be seen here for the first time, and all have a story behind them. The Art of Sport sets each photograph in context, outlining the circumstances behind the image- how the photographers came to witness these events and how they managed to document them. It showcases the two essential characteristics of the top sports photojournalist--a nose for a story and an eye for a photo.
