Childhood encounters with history in British culture, 1750–1914
by Rachel Bryant Davies, Barbara Gribling
This collection brings together scholars from disciplines including Children's Literature, Classics, and History to develop fresh approaches to children's culture and the uses of the past. It charts the significance of historical episodes and characters during the long nineteenth-century (1750-1914), a critical period in children's culture. Boys and girls across social classes often experienced different pasts simultaneously, for purposes of amusement and instruction. The book highlights an active and shifting market in history for children, and reveals how children were actively involved in consuming and repackaging the past: from playing with historically themed toys and games to performing in plays and pageants. Each chapter reconstructs encounters across different media, uncovering the cultural work done by particular pasts and exposing the key role of playfulness in the British historical imagination.

September 2023Being Able to Stop
Against the delusion of permanent growth
by Edited by Jean-Pierre Wils
We moderns were the inhabitants of an age of impetuous forward movement and voracious discontent. Our main virtue was to increase our reach. Increasing our having and accelerating our being were the signposts towards the future. We just could not get enough. Using the blinkers of ignorance and self-anaesthesia, however, we managed to forget the tremendous costs incurred by this intoxication. Now disillusionment has set in. We look to the future with anxiety. We know that we have long since crossed a line and that a revision of our lifestyle is imminent. We have a bad feeling, and doubts about progress often give way to anger and rebellion. Which stocks of the modern narrative should we defend; which would we do better to let go? How will we even "be able to stop"? The path to a different society needs an attractive goal, because without the prospect of a different, better life, we will not move forward. We should start practising immediately. There is no time to lose.

Humanities & Social SciencesApril 2024Ideas of poverty in the Age of Enlightenment
by Niall O’Flaherty, Robin Mills
This collection of essays examines the ways in which poverty was conceptualised in the social, political, and religious discourses of eighteenth-century Europe. It brings together experts with a wide range of expertise to offer pathbreaking discussions of how eighteenth-century thinkers thought about the poor. Because the theme of poverty played important roles in many critical issues in European history, it was central to some of the key debates in Enlightenment political thought throughout the period, including the controversies about sovereignty and representation, public and private charity, as well as questions relating to crime and punishment. The book examines some of the most important contributions to these debates, while also ranging beyond the canonical Enlightenment thinkers, to investigate how poverty was conceptualised in the wider intellectual culture, as politicians, administrators and pamphlet writers grappled with the issue.

Humanities & Social SciencesSeptember 2023Negotiating relief and freedom
Responses to disaster in the British Caribbean, 1812-1907
by Oscar Webber
Negotiating relief and freedom is an investigation of short- and long-term responses to disaster in the British Caribbean colonies during the 'long' nineteenth century. It explores how colonial environmental degradation made their inhabitants both more vulnerable to and expanded the impact of natural phenomena such as hurricanes, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions. It shows that British approaches to disaster 'relief' prioritised colonial control and 'fiscal prudence' ahead of the relief of the relief of suffering. In turn, that this pattern played out continuously in the long nineteenth century is a reminder that in the Caribbean the transition from slavery to waged labour was not a clean one. Times of crisis brought racial and social tensions to the fore and freedoms once granted, were often quickly curtailed.

August 2024Unsere Jahre auf Fellowship Point
Roman | Über eine lebenslange, innige Freundschaft zweier großartiger Frauen
by Alice Elliott Dark, Margarita Ruppel, Marieke Heimburger
Ein bewegender, empathischer, unvergesslicher Roman über zwei Freundinnen, der das 20. Jahrhundert überspannt, deren Leben sehr unterschiedlich verlaufen sind und die doch ein lebenslanges, tiefes Verständnis füreinander verbindet. Über achtzig Sommer haben Agnes Lee und Polly Wister zusammen verbracht, in den Sommerhäusern ihrer Familien auf Fellowship Point an der Küste Maines inmitten unberührter Natur. Auch jetzt, im Alter, ist ihre lebenslange Freundschaft unverbrüchlich, trotz ihrer sehr unterschiedlichen Lebenswege: Polly hat sich ihr Leben lang immer zuallererst um andere gekümmert, um ihren Mann Dick, der Karriere als Philosophieprofessor gemacht hat, und um ihre drei Söhne, denen sie ein behagliches Zuhause und eine unbeschwerte Kindheit ermöglicht hat. Agnes hingegen hat nie geheiratet, stets alleine gelebt und sich ihrer Arbeit gewidmet: Als Kinderbuchautorin hat sie große Erfolge gefeiert, und nun drängt ihre Lektorin sie, ihre Memoiren zu schreiben. Dabei kommen schmerzhafte Erinnerungen an die Oberfläche und eine tiefe, unerfüllte Sehnsucht, die sie lange verdrängt hatte …

Manual Trigger Point Therapy and Dry Needling for Chronic Pain
Myofascial medicine as an approach to an unresolved challenge
by Beat Dejung
Medicine for the relief of pain has made little progress in the last 50 years. 16% of our population claim to suffer from chronic pain, for which no lasting help can be found, despite years of treatment by different doctors. Trigger point therapy experts have integrated myofascial techniques into their everyday therapy in recent decades and through this they have achieved good results even with complex and chronic problems. In this book, instructors from the Interest Group for Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy (IMTT) in Switzerland present 33 complex cases of patients with chronic pain, whose pain they were able to relieve permanently with manual trigger point therapy and dry needling. Using these case studies, doublepage spreads with an educational, uniform layout clearly present the diagnosis, pathophysiology and chronifcation of myofascial pain syndromes and, in conclusion, describe encouraging and surprising successes despite previous therapy resistance.
