Description

Der gefrorene Fluss"Martha Ballard ist nicht nur eine Hebamme aus Maine, die noch nie eine Gebrende verloren hat. Sie ist auch eine Wahrheitssprecherin und Gerechtigkeitssucherin in einer Zeit, in der Frauen nicht einmal vor Gericht aussagen drfen. Wieder einmal vollbringt Lawhon mit einer realen Heldin erzhlerische Magie." People Magazine, Buch der Woche "Fans von Claire Fraser aus 'Outlander' werden Lawhons Martha mgen, die mutig und freimtig ist, wenn es darum geht,

"Martha Ballard ist nicht nur eine Hebamme aus Maine, die noch nie eine Gebärende verloren hat. Sie ist auch eine Wahrheitssprecherin und Gerechtigkeitssucherin in einer Zeit, in der Frauen nicht einmal vor Gericht aussagen dürfen. ... Wieder einmal vollbringt Lawhon mit einer realen Heldin erzählerische Magie." --People Magazine, Buch der Woche "Fans von Claire Fraser aus 'Outlander' werden Lawhons Martha mögen, die mutig und freimütig ist, wenn es darum geht, die Unschuldigen zu beschützen. ... beeindruckend." - The Washington Post "Teils Krimi, teils historische Fiktion ... dieser Roman hat eine winterliche Atmosphäre, die ihn zu einer idealen Lektüre für die Kaminecke macht." --Real Simple Dieser historische Krimi ist inspiriert vom Leben und Tagebuch der Martha Ballard, einer berühmten Hebamme aus dem 18. Jahrhundert, die sich dem bestehenden Rechtssystem widersetzte und so in die amerikanische Geschichte einging.  Maine, 1789 : Als der Kennebec River zufriert und die Leiche eines toten Mannes im Eis sichtbar wird, soll Martha Ballard den Leichnam untersuchen und die Todesursache feststellen. Als Hebamme und Heilerin ist sie in vieles eingeweiht, was sich hinter verschlossenen Türen in der Kleinstadt Hallowell abspielt. Ihr Tagebuch ist eine Aufzeichnung aller Geburten und Todesfälle, Verbrechen und Debakeln, die sich in der engen Gemeinschaft ereignen. Monate zuvor dokumentierte Martha die Einzelheiten einer angeblichen Vergewaltigung, die von zwei der angesehensten Herren der Stadt begangen wurde - einer von ihnen wurde nun tot im Eis aufgefunden. So ist Martha sich sicher, dass sie es hier mit einem Mord zu tun hat. Doch ein örtlicher Arzt widerlegt ihre Schlussfolgerung und erklärt den Tod für einen Unfall. Martha ist entschlossen, den schockierenden Mord auf eigene Faust zu untersuchen. Im Laufe eines Winters, während der Prozess näher rückt und Gerüchte und Vorurteile zunehmen, ist Martha beharrlich auf der Suche nach der Wahrheit. Ihr Tagebuch gerät bald in den Mittelpunkt des Skandals, verwickelt diejenigen, die sie liebt, in die Sache und zwingt Martha, zu entscheiden, wo ihre eigene Loyalität liegt. Clever, vielschichtig und subversiv stellt Ariel Lawhons neuestes Werk eine unbeugsame Heldin vor, die sich weigerte, etwas Geringeres als die Gerechtigkeit zu akzeptieren, in einer Zeit, in der es galt, Frauen am besten nur zu sehen und nicht zu hören. "Der gefrorene Fluss" ist eine spannende und zärtliche Geschichte über eine bemerkenswerte Frau, die ein beispielloses Erbe hinterlassen hat und dennoch bis heute fast vergessen ist. Das perfekte Buch für Leserinnen von "Eine Frage der Chemie" und "Der Gesang der Flusskrebse" und in der limitierten Ausgabe mit Farbschnitt ein wunderschönes Geschenk für alle Buchliebhaberinnen!

Mastering Strategic Problem Solving
Format: Kindle
This book offers a comprehensive approach to tackling complex challenges through a practical, step-by-step framework. It guides readers in defining and breaking down problems, prioritizing for impact, and implementing solutions effectively. A notable strength is its emphasis on real-world application, featuring case studies and examples from diverse industries that demonstrate the framework in action. The chapter "Disaggregate the Problem into Smaller Pieces," for example, introduces the concept of disaggregation by comparing a complex problem to a towering mountain that becomes manageable when broken into smaller hills. This vivid metaphor, coupled with examples like successful product launches, illustrates how breaking challenges into components reduces cognitive load and sharpens focus. Tools such as mind mapping and flowcharts are explained in detail, enabling readers to visualize relationships and streamline decision-making processes. Aimed at consultants and aspiring professionals, this guide equips readers with the mindset and techniques to solve problems strategically. While insightful and well-structured, its academic tone may appeal more to professionals than casual readers. Nonetheless, its clear methodology and actionable exercises make it an excellent resource for anyone seeking to enhance their decision-making skills.

A very good and helpful book
Format: Kindle
This book provides a well-structured, step-by-step approach to tackling challenges effectively. The book outlines a seven-step process, beginning with defining and identifying the problem, and then walks the reader through practical techniques like mind mapping, prioritization, and overcoming decision paralysis. Further, one of the book’s strengths is its wealth of real-world examples and case studies, which make the concepts tangible. The discussion on managing time in problem-solving, critical thinking, and addressing communication barriers is particularly insightful. Additionally, Heartly introduces useful frameworks such as the "inner matrix" and role mapping, which help in breaking down complex problems into manageable parts. While the content is valuable, the writing can feel a bit wordy, and some sections could flow more smoothly. The references are also quite small (in the ebook), making them a bit difficult to read. However, these are minor drawbacks in an otherwise solid guide. Overall, this book is a great resource for anyone looking to enhance their problem-solving skills, whether in business, leadership, or personal decision-making.This book offers a clear, seven-step approach to tackling challenges.

Problem-Solving Made Clear
Format: Kindle
I picked up this book hoping to get better at tackling complex work challenges, and it actually delivered a solid framework I could use right away. The seven-step approach isn't revolutionary, but it's presented clearly with real examples that made sense in my day-to-day role. What I liked most was how it breaks down overwhelming problems into manageable pieces—something I struggle with when everything feels urgent. The case studies from different industries helped me see how the same principles apply whether you're in consulting, tech, or manufacturing. It's not flashy or overly theoretical, just practical tools that help you think more systematically. If you want a straightforward guide to better decision-making without getting lost in business jargon, this one's worth reading.
