Children's & YAHeart of Mist
by Katrin Lange
A girl torn between two brothers. Regardless of which one she falls in love with it will be disastrous for the other. Christopher and Adrian have sworn that no girl will ever come between them again, because there is a sleeping monster inside Adrian, just waiting to hurt his brother. But then Jessa comes to High Moor Grange… Jessa would do anything to find her sister Alice, who has been registered as missing for five years. High Moor Grange is the first clue she has been given after all this time – but apart from a ruin shrouded in mist, all she finds there are the owners of this dilapidated manor house. Jessa suspects that they both know more about Alice’s disappearance than they admit. Christopher wants nothing more than to be rid of her, and constantly gets on her nerves with his arrogance – and even his warm-hearted brother Adrian seems to be harbouring some secrets. Jessica knows that she ought to stay away from the twin brothers, because instead of finding answers at High Moor Grange, she finds herself in danger of losing her heart in a battle against a 200-year-old curse. Dark, irresistible and deeply romantic – a modern Beauty and the Beast story by the queen of emotions!

Literature & Literary StudiesMarch 2017Asia in Western fiction
by Robin Winks
Any reader who has ever visited Asia knows that the great bulk of Western-language fiction about Asian cultures turns on stereotypes. This book, a collection of essays, explores the problem of entering Asian societies through Western fiction, since this is the major port of entry for most school children, university students and most adults. In the thirteenth century, serious attempts were made to understand Asian literature for its own sake. Hau Kioou Choaan, a typical Chinese novel, was quite different from the wild and magical pseudo-Oriental tales. European perceptions of the Muslim world are centuries old, originating in medieval Christendom's encounter with Islam in the age of the Crusades. There is explicit and sustained criticism of medieval mores and values in Scott's novels set in the Middle Ages, and this is to be true of much English-language historical fiction of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Even mediocre novels take on momentary importance because of the pervasive power of India. The awesome, remote and inaccessible Himalayas inevitably became for Western writers an idealised setting for novels of magic, romance and high adventure, and for travellers' tales that read like fiction. Chinese fictions flourish in many guises. Most contemporary Hong Kong fiction reinforced corrupt mandarins, barbaric punishments and heathens. Of the novels about Japan published after 1945, two may serve to frame a discussion of Japanese behaviour as it could be observed (or imagined) by prisoners of war: Black Fountains and Three Bamboos.

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2019Corruption in contemporary politics
A new travel guide
by James L. Newell
Recognising that corruption is a serious problem in the globalised world of the early twenty-first century, the book takes the reader on a journey - beginning with what corruption is, why its study is important and how it can be measured. From there it moves on to explore corruption's causes, its consequences and how it can be tackled - before discovering how these things are playing out in the established liberal democracies, in the former communist regimes and in the newly industrialised and 'developing' world. On the way it takes a couple of detours - first, to explore corruption's mechanisms and dynamics and second to survey the scandals to which it may give rise. The book is therefore offered as an informative 'travel guide' of potential interest to journalists and policy makers as well as to students and academics.

July 2024Tainted Mind
A psychological Thriller. Dr. Evelin Wolf and Alex Gutenberg 3
by Roxann Hill, Paul Wagle, Rebecca Steinberg, John Julian, Nicholas Mockridge, Marty Sander, Alexios Saskalidis
The most dangerous people are those you trust. The dismembered body of a young woman is discovered in a forest near Hamburg. Her remains give a terrifyingly vivid account of the unimaginably cruel torture she suffered before her death. She won't be the only victim. Within a very short period of time, more women are discovered. Assistant District Attorney Alex Gutenberg and criminal psychologist Dr. Evelin Wolf feverishly try everything to bring down the serial killer before he takes his next victim. A clue leads them to a severely mentally disturbed inmate of an asylum for the criminally insane. He seems to be the key to solving the current crimes. But the interned remains silent. Evelin has only one chance: She must succeed in penetrating the inmate's tainted mind. But the price is high. Evelin tracks down a terrible secret and suddenly finds her own life at stake…

February 2020Nimbus
Gedichte
by Marion Poschmann
Nimbus, die dunkle Wolke, ist eine Erscheinung aus Schwung, Pracht, Weite, und doch gehört sie dem Formlosen, Ungreifbaren. Sie entfaltet Wirkung, sie bestimmt die Atmosphäre, zugleich entzieht sie sich, bleibt unbeherrschbar. Mit festem Griff und Subtilität, Witz und Zärtlichkeit unternimmt Marion Poschmann in ihren neuen Gedichten den Versuch, Nähe und Ferne zusammenzudenken und die maßlosen Kräfte der äußeren Gegenwart in einen Raum der Innigkeit zu verwandeln. Aber wo ist innen? Die Erforschung Sibiriens vor Beginn der Industrialisierung, flüchtige Begegnungen mit Tieren, die Nuanciertheit eines Farbtons oder die Verletzlichkeit von Eismassen spiegeln ebenso wie die kleinen magischen Praktiken des Alltags die Einzigartigkeit der globalen Veränderung. Nimbus ist eine Feier des Sublimen und des Schönen, mitreißend und formbewusst, unverwechselbar im Ton, lustvoll und philosophisch.

July 2007Transatlantische Bereicherungen
Zur Erfindung der empirischen Sozialforschung
by Christian Fleck
Der Aufstieg der empirischen Sozialforschung in der ersten Hälfte des vergangenen Jahrhunderts verdankt sich in erheblichem Maße der Rockefeller Foundation, die in den 20er Jahren ein weltweites System privater Wissenschaftsförderung etablierte. Viele vor allem deutschsprachige Forscher, deren Arbeit bereits in Europa dadurch beflügelt wurde, wurden jedoch wenig später von den Nazis vertrieben und fanden eine neue Heimat in den USA im unmittelbaren Umfeld der Foundation. Anhand von Originalquellen und bisher unbekannten Dokumenten zeichnet Christian Fleck die transatlantischen Anfänge dieser Wissenskultur und die für die Sozialwissenschaften insgesamt entscheidenden weiteren Entwicklungen nach und präsentiert erstmals eine vergleichende Analyse derjenigen Soziologen deutscher Sprache, die in Europa geblieben sind, und jener, die emigrieren mußten.
