Read an Excerpt

"Der Band versucht, die beiden Perspektiven der lnnensicht und Außensicht aufzuzeigen. Einerseits werden aktuelle Entwicklungen, etwa die Entwicklung von Raumstrukturen (Kapitel „Lernort- und Raumkonzepte") thematisiert. Andererseits versucht man Veränderungsprozesse so aufzuzeigen, dass sie auf andere Bildungsbereiche übertragbar sind - vor allem in dem Kapitel „Kooperationsfelder", in dem es unter anderem um Bildungspartnerschaften mit Schulen und Kooperationen im Erwachsenenbildungsbereich geht. Zum Abschluss ziehen die Herausgeber ein Fazit über die veränderte Kontextualisierung öffentlicher Bibliotheken, etwa den Wandel der Rahmenbedingungen, die neuen Raumkonzepte und den Weg zum Lernort."
Susanne Tretthahn in: Büchereiperspektiven 2/2018, S. 72

Editorial Reviews

The Barnes & Noble Review
Princess Mia, Grandmère, and other priceless characters are giving sound advice on being a royal in this hilarious Princess Diaries book from Meg Cabot.
Wondering how to prevent your tiara from falling off? What about keeping your skin squeaky clean? And those nasty military threats from neighboring principalities -- what a hassle! These problems and more are answered in many sidesplitting sections introduced by Princess Mia, from Chez Paolo's Paolo on beauty tips to Tina Hakim Baba's take on "The Mysterious World of Guys" to Prince René's advice on being a sport. Other guest entries include wisdom about etiquette, fashion, and education, and Princess Mia winds up the guide with heartening final opinions on the true qualities of a real princess ("Being a princess is more of an attitude, really, than a way of life.")
With Cabot's Princess Lessons in hand, any girl will be talking the regal talk and walking the royal walk in no time. Princess Mia's sage words will speak to any aristocratic wannabe, while Chesley McLaren's splendidly simple illustrations are the perfect match. A how-to handbook that's most certainly as grand as the crown jewels themselves. Shana Taylor

Fans of the Princess Diaries will not want to miss Meg Cabot's Princess Lessons: A Princess Diaries Book, illus. by Chesley McLaren, delivered with the series' signature wicked humor (between the paper-over-board covers in a princessiest of pink volume). From Paolo's "Pretty Princess" beauty tips ("I, Paolo, am the one who turned the Principessa Amelia from Ugly Duckling into Swan") to the Dowager Princess of Genovia's strict rules of etiquette ("Princesses always keep their knees close together when sitting. This is so that the populace gathered before you... does not catch a glimpse of your unmentionables!") to tips on fashion from Her Royal Highness Princess Mia herself, this masterguide to monarchy will have princesses sprouting up nationwide. McLaren's chic drawings combine fashion flair with fun asides (such as Mia thrusting a booted leg skyward for her grandmother's "knees together" pointer). Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
