Children's & YAReally Great, Heros! (2). What on Earth are we Doing Here?
by Rüdiger Bertram/ Heribert Schulmeyer
Juli can’t wait for the holidays. His cousin Jenny and he can once more go to her uncle’s Superhero Hotel. Maybe the next superhero adventure will be awaiting them there? Indeed it is: the evil Snakeman has created an army of mutated giant rabbits, whose underground tunnels threaten one city after another with complete collapse. And as the real superheroes are still lazing around at the swimming pool, and Bruce suddenly has to go and defend the world against an alien invasion, it’s once more left to Juli and Jenny to prevent this disaster! Armed with nothing more than a cheap pair of X-ray laser glasses with which they can see through walls, doors and even people’s clothes (villains in underpants – not a pretty sight!). And while Juli is still asking “What on earth are we doing here?” he and Jenny find themselves in the middle of a crazy adventure that takes them all round the world – across the desert, through London, and on to Paris! Can Juli and Jenny stop the evil villain and his giant rabbits in time?

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2013The Black Death
by Rosemary Horrox
This series provides texts central to medieval studies courses and focuses upon the diverse cultural, social and political conditions that affected the functioning of all levels of medieval society. Translations are accompanied by introductory and explanatory material and each volume includes a comprehensive guide to the sources' interpretation, including discussion of critical linguistic problems and an assessment of recent research on the topics covered. From 1348 to 1350 Europe was devastated by an epidemic that left between a third and one half of the population dead. This source book traces, through contemporary writings, the calamitous impact of the Black Death in Europe, with a particular emphasis on its spread across England from 1348 to 1349. Rosemary Horrox surveys contemporary attempts to explain the plague, which was universally regarded as an expression of divine vengeance for the sins of humankind. Moralists all had their particular targets for criticism. However, this emphasis on divine chastisement did not preclude attempts to explain the plague in medical or scientific terms. Also, there was a widespread belief that human agencies had been involved, and such scapegoats as foreigners, the poor and Jews were all accused of poisoning wells. The final section of the book charts the social and psychological impact of the plague, and its effect on the late-medieval economy.

Literature & Literary StudiesApril 2025Invasions
Fears and fantasies of imagined wars in Britain, 1871-1918
by Christian K. Melby
Invasions is an ambitious, new and authoritative study of one of the defining cultural products of the Victorian and Edwardian eras. By the outbreak of war in 1914 invasion-scare fiction had profoundly changed British society, becoming not just a vibrant part of popular culture, but a reference point among military planners, advertisers, and politicians. This intersection between politics and culture, between entertainment and war planning, sets invasion-scare stories apart as one of the most versatile and interesting fictional products in modern British history. Building on recent work in both history and literature studies, Invasions is the first study of invasion-scare fiction to examine both the form (that is, fiction) and the function (the political argument) of the genre.

Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2013EU foreign and security policy in Bosnia
The politics of coherence and effectiveness
by Ana Juncos, Emil Kirchner, Thomas Christiansen
This book represents the first ever comprehensive study of the EU's foreign and security policy in Bosnia. Drawing on a wealth of fresh empirical material, it demonstrates that institutions are a key variable in explaining levels of common foreign security policy (CFSP) coherence and effectiveness over time. In doing so, it also sheds new light on the role that intergovernmental, bureaucratic and local political contestation have played in the formulation and implementation of a European foreign policy. The study concludes that the EU's involvement in Bosnia has not only had a significant impact on this Balkan country in its path from stabilisation to integration, but has also transformed the EU, its foreign and security policy and shaped the development of the EU's international identity along the way. The book will be of great interest to researchers and students of EU politics, International Relations and Bosnian politics. ;

Slavoj Žižek im Porträt
by Susan Chales de Beaulieu, Jean-Baptiste Farkas, Susan Chales de Beaulieu, Jean-Baptiste Farkas
In einem Artikel, in dem sich Autoren der Frankfurter Allgemeinen Sonntagszeitung mit Philosophen-Videos auf Youtube befaßten, hieß es, dort könne »man Denker in Aktion sehen und beobachten, wie die Körpersprache, von der in den Texten keine Spur zu finden ist, das Wort übernimmt«. Wenn es einen Gegenwartsphilosophen gibt, bei dem Körpersprache und Denkstil tatsächlich zur Deckung zu kommen scheinen, so ist das Slavoj Žižek, der philosophische »Sprengmeister« aus Ljubljana. Diesen »nervösen Intellektuellen« (die tageszeitung) haben Susan Chales de Beaulieu und Jean-Baptiste Farkas in ihrem, von arte koproduzierten Filmporträt buchstäblich festgehalten. Sie lassen Žižek nicht nur Kernelemente seiner Theorie erläutern, sie entlocken ihm auch aufschlußreiche Erklärungen zu seinem quecksilbrigen Schreibstil und läden ihn zu einer über Monitore hergestellten Begegnung mit seinen langjährigen Weggefährten Alain Badiou und Jacques Rancière. Als Extras sind weitere Interviews mit Žižek, Restaurantgespräche sowie diverse Auszüge einer seiner legendären Vorträge zu sehen.

Lifestyle, Sport & LeisureFebruary 2012Foreign players and football supporters
The Old Firm, Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain
by David Ranc
'Mercenaries', 'cheats', 'destroying the soul of (English) football', 'destroying the link between football clubs and their supporters': foreign football players have been accused of being at the origin of all the ills of contemporary football. How true is this? Foreign players and football supporters: The Old Firm, Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain is the first academic book to look at supporters' reactions to the increase in the number of foreign players in the very clubs they support week in week out. It shows that football supporters identify with their club through a variety of means, which may change or be replaced with others, and provides the most comprehensive view on football supporters' attachment to their club in the European Union, following the increase in European legislation. Divided into three case studies on Glasgow (Celtic and Rangers), Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal in London, the book adopts a multidisciplinary approach to chart the evolution of the link between supporters and club between 1995 and today. It is based on extensive research through the press of three nations, as well as interviews with officials and supporters. It provides an excellent read for students and researchers in Sports Studies, Politics, European Studies, French Studies and other Social Sciences, or to anyone interested in one of the most original institutions of contemporary western societies: mass spectator sports. ;

Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2006India in a globalized world
by Sagarika Dutt, Caroline Wilding
This book looks at India in the context of a globalized world. It starts by looking at the history of Indian civilization, exploring the roots of Indian identity and highlighting processes such as foreign invasions, foreign trade, cultural imperialism, colonial rule and the growth of Indian nationalism. The book examines the gradual democratization of Indian politics. Cultural and ethnic divisions in Indian society are examined in depth, as are the problems that have prevented economic development and stood in the way of economic liberalization. The history of India's integration into the global economy is considered, and the opportunities available to the country in the early years of the 21st century are detailed. The final chapters consider the Indian government's perception of the Indian diaspora, as well as the changing priorities reflected in India's foreign policy since 1947.
