January 2023Diagnosis Digital Disaster
Can the healthcare system still be saved?
by Peter Schaar
— Ways out of the digital disaster — For healthcare professionals and informed patients Modern information technologies can and should contribute to improving the quality and transparency of medical care and making healthcare more economical – and all for the benefit and well-being of patients. Well, that would be the noble approach. All the talk about health insurance cards, telematics infrastructure and electronic patient files stirs up emotions. Peter Schaar, long-standing Federal Data Protection Commissioner, brings light to the dark data and health thicket. Why are innovations in the healthcare sector met with great scepticism by many stakeholders? How can we speed up the development and implementation of meaningful ITsupported solutions? What role does the narrow, small-scale regulatory framework play – not only, but also in data protection?

Biography & True StoriesMarch 2026Eva Gore-Booth: Irish radical poet, rebel and reformer
Anniversary edition
by Sonja Tiernan
An acclaimed biography of poet, pacifist and political firebrand Eva Gore-Booth. The Irish poet and activist Eva Gore-Booth (1870-1926) led a life defiantly at odds with her aristocratic origins. Choosing to live and work among the poor of Manchester, she campaigned on behalf of barmaids, circus performers, flower sellers and pit-brow lasses, her partner, Esther Roper, at her side. Gore-Booth was tireless in her pursuit of justice. She was a militant pacifist during the First World War, a champion of Irish independence and a pioneering thinker on gender and sexuality. She was also a prolific author, publishing nineteen volumes of poetry and prose that reflect the full force of her radical convictions. Featuring a new preface that situates Gore-Booth's life and work in the context of our current political climate, this biography reclaims her place as a significant figure of Anglo-Irish letters and an unsung hero of LGBT+ history.

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2024Intimacy and injury
In the wake of #MeToo in India and South Africa
by Nicky Falkof, Srila Roy, Shilpa Phadke
Both India and South Africa have shared the infamy of being labelled the world's 'rape capitals', with high levels of everyday gender-based and sexual violence. At the same time, both boast long histories of resisting such violence and its location in wider cultures of patriarchy, settler colonialism and class and caste privilege. Through the lens of the #MeToo moment, the book tracks histories of feminist organising in both countries, while also revealing how newer strategies extended or limited these struggles. Intimacy and injury is a timely mapping of a shifting political field around gender-based violence in the global south. In proposing comparative, interdisciplinary, ethnographically rich and analytically astute reflections on #MeToo, it provides new and potentially transformative directions to scholarly debates this book builds transnational feminist knowledge and solidarity in and across the global south.

November 2019Taktiken der Entnetzung
Die Sehnsucht nach Stille im digitalen Zeitalter
by Guido Zurstiege
In einer Zeit, in der jeder permanent sendet und auf Empfang ist, stellt die Fähigkeit zur Entnetzung eine der wichtigsten Bedingungen für die Selbstbehauptung und Selbstbestimmung des Individuums dar. Die allseits gesteigerte Kommunikation und Konnektivität erzeugt ein ebenfalls gesteigertes Bedürfnis nach kommunikativem Rückzug und Verzicht. Ob aus Verdruss über den Verfall des politischen Diskurses oder als Reaktion auf den Zwang zur permanenten Entblößung, ob aus Angst vor den auf Dauerüberwachung programmierten Medien des technologischen Habitats oder als Versuch der Rückgewinnung von Kontrolle über das aus den Fugen geratene eigene Mediennutzungsverhalten: Jeder braucht heute Taktiken der Entnetzung, um den Herausforderungen des digitalen Zeitalters erfolgreich zu begegnen.
