När elever älskar att studera och lärare älskar att undervisa Hur skapas acceptans och respekt i klassrummet? Hur sätter vi upp regler för samvaron i skolan och hur ser vi till att de följs? Hur kan lärare stå upp för viktiga värden utan att döma de som står för något annat? Vilken sorts stöd behöver elever få för att lära utifrån inre motivation? Marshall Rosenberg beskriver hur Nonviolent Communication bidrar till att skapa respektfulla relationer mellan elever, föräldrar, lärare och annan skolpersonal. Även om situationer och villkor varierar mellan kulturer och skolor, behöver vi hantera och lösa liknande problem om vi vill skapa en skola som ger möjlighet att lära för livet. Den här boken ger inspiration och kunskap om hur vi kan: Öka elevers intresse av att lära Skapa en trygg och stödjande atmosfär för inlärning Ge näring åt emotionell intelligens, social kompetens, respekt och medkänsla Förebygga och hantera konflikter, samt trappa ner våld Uppleva glädjen i att undervisa motiverade elever Skapa effektiva och meningsfulla samarbeten Marshall B. Rosenberg, Ph. D är mannen bakom NVC och författare till bästsäljaren Nonviolent Communication ett språk för livet, utgiven på fler än 30 språk.

Nurturing Our Humanity offers a new perspective on our personal and social options in today's world, showing how we can build societies that support our great human capacities for consciousness, caring, and creativity. It brings together findings--largely overlooked--from the natural and social sciences debunking the popular idea that we are hard-wired for selfishness, war, rape, and greed. Its groundbreaking new approach reveals connections between disturbing trends like climate change denial and regressions to strongman rule. Moving past right vs. left, religious vs. secular, Eastern vs. Western, and other familiar categories that do not include our formative parent-child and gender relations, it looks at where societies fall on the partnership-domination scale. On one end is the domination system that ranks man over man, man over woman, race over race, and man over nature. On the other end is the more peaceful, egalitarian, gender-balanced, and sustainable partnership system. Nurturing Our Humanity explores how behaviors, values, and socio-economic institutions develop differently in these two environments, documents how this impacts nothing less than how our brains develop, examines cultures from this new perspective (including societies that for millennia oriented toward partnership), and proposes actions supporting the contemporary movement in this more life-sustaining and enhancing direction. It shows how through today's ever more fearful, frenzied, and greed-driven technologies of destruction and exploitation, the domination system may lead us to an evolutionary dead end. A more equitable and sustainable way of life is biologically possible and culturally attainable: we can change our course.

From the author of the bestselling classic The Chalice and the Blade, The Real Wealth of Nations proposes a dramatic new economic model that could help resolve many of the most critical problems we face today, and offers concrete steps for putting this model into practice. Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations provided the first, most influential and lasting explanation of the workings of modern economics. But with his focus on ''''the market'''' as the best mechanism for producing and distributing the necessities of life, Smith's concepts only told part of the story, leading to flawed economic models that devalue activities that fall outside of the market's parameters of buying and selling. The real wealth of nations, Riane Eisler argues, is not merely financial, but includes the contributions of people and our natural environment. Here, Eisler goes beyond the market to reexamine economics from a larger perspective-and shows that we must give visibility and value to the socially andeconomically essential work of caring for people and the planet if we are to meet the enormous challenges we are facing. Most importantly, she provides practical proposals for new economic inventions-new measures, policies, rules, and practices-to bring about a caring economics that fulfills human needs.''''Eisler delivers another impressive work that's remarkably well referenced, well argued, insightful, and hopeful

Die Geschichte unserer kulturellen Ursprünge, aus einer neuen Sicht - endlich wieder lieferbar. "Von der Fremdbestimmung zur Partnerschaft ist eines dieser wunderbaren Bücher, die uns wirklich verändern und darüber hinaus einen fundamentalen Wandel der Welt bewirken können." Isabel Allende "Kelch & Schwert verleiht einer konkreten Hoffnung Ausdruck, die viele von uns hegen - dass es einen anderen Weg geben könnte, Beziehungen und Institutionen zu gestalten, und zwar auf eine Weise, die dem Leben und den Bedürfnissen des Menschen dient. Riane Eisler inspiriert uns, die Arbeit zu tun, die notwendig ist, um diesen Traum wahr werden zu lassen." Marshall B. Rosenberg Das Standardwerk zum Thema "Zukunft der Menschheit" eröffnet uns faszinierende neue Erkenntnisse über unsere kulturellen Ursprünge, über Geschichte, Gegenwart und Zukunft der Menschheit. Weder Gott noch die Biologie haben uns dazu bestimmt, einen Krieg nach dem anderen zu führen und uns im permanenten "Kampf der Geschlechter" zu zermürben. Wollen wir die von ökologischen und atomaren Katastrophen bedrohte Erde nicht gänzlich der Vernichtung preisgeben, müssen wir zu einen System partnerschaftlicher Lebensform zurückfinden, zu Wegen, die auf einem partnerschaftlichen statt auf einem von Herrschaftsdenken geprägten Prinzip beruhen. Kelch & Schwert wurde in alle Weltsprachen übersetzt und allein in den USA in über 20 Auflagen verkauft! Wir haben das Buch neu aufgelegt. Weltweit mehr als 500.000 verkaufte Exemplare, in 21 Sprachen übersetzt. Mit einem Vorwort von Daniel Goeudevert.

In the wake of the tragedy of the shootings in Littleton at Columbine High School and other killings of children by children, there is increasing recognition of the urgent need for a deep systemic reassessment of what we are teaching our children. Based on the multidisciplinary research conducted by Riane Eisler over three decades, Tomorrow's Children presents a new integrated model for education: the partnership model. This model is an outgrowth of the cultural transformation theory developed by Dr. Eisler in her classic work The Chalice and the Blade. In that book, Eisler identifies a continuum of patterns for structuring relations. At one end of the continuum is the partnership model, which embodies equity, environmental sustainability, multiculturalism, and gender-fairness. At the opposite end of the continuum is the dominator model, which has marred much of our civilization. This model emphasizes control, authoritarianism, violence, gender discrimination, and environmental destruction. Eisler also shows that we today stand at a crossroads, where a shift to the partnership end of the continuum is essential for human welfare, and possibly survival. A new kind of education system is required to effectuate this shift. Tomorrow's Children applies the partnership model to education from kindergarten to twelfth grade and beyond, providing practical guidance for educators, parents, and students. Rather than one more add-on to existing methods and curricula, it provides a systemic approach that offers a more accurate and hopeful picture of what being human means. The curriculum loom and learning tapestry Eisler presents in Tomorrow's Children integrate three primary components of teaching and learning: what Eisler calls partnership process, partnership structure, and partnership content. The book melds Eisler's research and the work of many progressive educators into a cohesive and compelling blueprint for the kind of proactive education children need to meet the challenges of the 21st century. As Nel Noddings, a noted professor of education from Stanford University, writes, the adoption of a partnership model in both schools and the larger society is essential for human life to flourish."

Riane Eisler shows us how history has consistently promoted the link between sex and violence and how we can sever this link and move to a politics of partnership rather than domination in all our relations."

Now with an updated epilogue celebrating the 30th anniversary of this groundbreaking and increasingly relevant book. "May be the most significant work published in all our lifetimes." - LA WeeklyThe Chalice and the Blade tells a new story of our cultural origins. It shows that warfare and the war of the sexes are neither divinely nor biologically ordained. It provides verification that a better future is possible--and is in fact firmly rooted in the haunting dramas of what happened in our past.
