        The Battle for Water

        In the century of drought

        by Jürgen Rahmig

        — Water as a reason for war and a political instrument of power — Unique overview of global water conflicts — Foreword by Wolfgang Ischinger Every year, droughts in African countries cause hundreds of thousands of deaths and much suffering. Europe also experienced drought in 2022's summer of record temperatures. Without water, there can be no life. More and more people are suffering from water shortages. Climate change is fuelling the distribution battles for water; violent conflicts over this precious resource are the order of the day. Whether the protests in Iraq, the war in Syria, in the Himalayas, the Nile conflict and in many other places, water is already a reason for war and is being misused as a political instrument of power. The construction of huge dams, the targeted closure of locks, river diversions, water and land grabbing bring wars over the "blue gold" with them. In a unique overview, journalist Jürgen Rahmig describes the struggle for water in the 21st century. Where do dangers lurk today; where will they be tomorrow, and how can we prevent wars over precious water?

        Die Küstencrew - Das Gold der Walfänger

        Ein interaktives Krimi-Abenteuer mit kniffligen Rätsel-Bildern

        by Ocke Bandixen

        Coast Crew (Vol. 1) - Whaler’s Gold   An interactive Crime adventure with fiddly Quiz Illustrations   On the rugged North Sea coast, just behind the dike, lies the sleepy little village of Breeksiel. Apart from a few tourists and seagulls, hardly anyone strays there. But appearances are deceptive: the sea washes great secrets, old legends and real crooks into the small coastal town. Solve exciting cases together with Jan, Rocco and Nele and help the three hobby detectives in their investigations!   Watching the sunset from the harbor or strolling along the dike and searching the beach for treasures from the sea - Jan and Rocco can't imagine anything better. Together with Rocco's grandpa Hannes, they regularly bring their finds to the Klabauterbude, their secret hiding place in grandpa Hannes' workshop.   When the two friends, together with Nele, one day come across a mysterious box in the slack water, a completely different wind suddenly blows in Breeksiel! Three dangerous crooks appear in the small coastal village, who want to get their hands on the box and seem to stop at nothing. Ose, Bernhard and Tolek carry weapons and are anything but harmless. What is the story behind this mysterious find?   The three amateur detectives learn about the legend of the whalers: In former times the captured gold was stowed away in such boxes on the whalers' ships. The nasty guys know this too - a race across Breeksiel and against time takes place, in which the children are even held. But Jan, Rocco and Nele are able to arrest the crooks and solve the riddle of the gold in the box. This must be celebrated with a homemade dyke pizza before the next case awaits the coastal crew!

        Sanctity and pornography in medieval culture

        On the verge

        by Bill Burgwinkle, Cary Howie, Anke Bernau

        Sanctity and pornography in medieval culture exposes the complexity of bodily exposure in medieval devotion and contemporary pornographic cultures. Through readings of texts and images, sacred and profane, from preimodern France and Italy as well as Anglo-American modernity, the book makes a case for paying closer attention to the surfaces of our bodies and the desires that those surfaces can articulate and arouse. From the Old French life of Saint Alexis to the work of writer-filmmaker Miranda July, from Wakefield Poole to Pietro Aretino, these are texts and images that diminish the distance between premodern Europe and contemporary California, between the sacred and the profane, as they demonstrate how, in the end as in the beginning, the surface of things is never simple. ;
