Unsere Städte sind unsicher geworden. Nie zuvor war in unserer Gesellschaft so viel latente Aggressivität und offene Gewalt zu erleben wie in den letzten Jahren. Immer mehr Männer und Frauen fühlen sich auf der Straße unbehaglich, wenn sie alleine unterwegs sind. Kein Wunder, dass das Security-Geschäft blüht. Doch nicht jeder kann oder will sich rund um die Uhr bewachen lassen und die Polizei kann nicht in jeder U-Bahnstation präsent sein. Trotzdem braucht niemand seine persönliche Sicherheit dem Zufall zu überlassen, denn das Einmaleins des effektiven Selbstschutzes lehrt dieses Buch. Fern jeder Rambo-Mentalität zeigen die Selbstverteidigungs-Profis des SAS mit alltagstauglichen Tricks, wie man sich selbst am besten schützt. Es zeigt, wie man durch selbstbewusstes Auftreten und vorausschauendes Handeln Konfrontationen vermeidet. Wie man Aggressoren beruhigt, sich rechtzeitig in Sicherheit bringt, Hilfe herbei ruft und was zu beachten ist, wenn man im öffentlichen Nahverkehr oder im eigenen Auto unterwegs ist. Über 100 detaillierte Zeichnungen demonstrieren einfache Verteidigungstechniken, die helfen, sich vor Handtaschenklau bis zu Messerattacken richtig zu schützen. Darüber hinaus erklärt es, wie man vermeidet, dass man von Unbeteiligten irrtümlich als Aggressor identifiziert wird, und sich später vor Gericht wiederfindet, während der eigentliche Täter lächelnd auf der Zeugenbank sitzt.

The book of Kings is a unique source for understanding the history of Israel from the last days of the united kingdom under David to the eventual fall of the kingdoms of Israel and Judah. Presenting Israel's national history from a divine viewpoint, these narratives measure the kings of Israel and Judah not by the mark they leave on secular history, but by their "doing what is right in the Lord's sight." Embedded in this story are enduring lessons of the ways of God with his people in every age. In this commentary Donald Wiseman brings to this portion of Scripture his life-long study of the archeology, history, languages and documents of the ancient Near East. - Publisher.
