March 2020No Place for Taste
Food Myths and the Rapid Change of Food Culture
by Manfred Kriener
This book is not a manual but provides an information kit so we can find our way intelligently and make decisions. Nutrition is a constant talking point, but often there is a lack of knowledge and judgement. Amidst this confusion of facts, Manfred Kriener clarifies the rapid change of our food culture. He covers the entire range from the vegan trend to insect food, from aquaculture to cultured meat. Kriener also focuses on the various obscure quality seals, chaotic labelling on the wine rack and our inconsistency as consumers. The new world of food in eleven chapters, spicy at times, but plenty of food for thought and to whet the appetite.

November 2019Find me in the Storm
by Kira Mohn
Not a single soul as far as the eye can see. Just sea, cliffs and the beach. And a lighthouse. It’s a wondrously beautiful place – not that Airin has a chance to enjoy it. The lighthouse has been converted into a cosy living space available for rent, and 24-year-old Airin has to look after the property while at the same time running her own bed and breakfast in Castledunn. It’s a lot of work for one person, but normally everything runs smoothly. Until Joshua, the nephew of the lighthouse owner, moves in. Arrogant and priggish, he complains ceaselessly about everything. Airin feels like strangling him. Or kissing him. Who cares, just as long as he stops talking! 16+ years The third volume of a unique romance trilogy about three young women, a lighthouse and love. All titles can be read separately! Rousing characters and a fine dry humor For all fans of Mona Kasten, Laura Kneidl and Colleen Hoover! More than 60.000 copies of this series were sold!

August 2010Aroma
Ein römisches Zeichenbuch
by Durs Grünbein
Einer der bedeutendsten deutschsprachigen Dichter der Gegenwert stellt sich in Vers und Prosa der Ewigen Stadt. „Aufblühen wird man hier, auch als kraut sich gern überlassen. Dem wohligen Phototropismus. Der man im Norden war, Dieser Eisblock Identität, Psyches Schneemann ist bald zerronnen.“ Der so spricht, ist an einem Ort angekommen, wo viele seiner Schreib- und Lebensmotive zusammenlaufen. Durs Grünbeins Jahr in Rom hat Gestalt gewonnen in einem Zeichenbuch. Die Stadt – „Roma caput mundi“ – wird als ein Schauplatz der Zeichen und Verweise erfahren und schlägt sich, wie bei den Reisenden früherer Zeiten, in Zeichnungen nieder – freilich in geschriebener Form. Aus vier Kapiteln gefügt, entstand so sein opus incertum, nach dem Vorbild des altrömischen Mauerwerks aus Bruchsteinen. Grünbeins Aroma eröffnet mit langzeiligen Gedichten in freiem, hexametrisch gewitterndem Versmaß: doch nicht auf der Suche nach dem verlorenen Gestern. Vielmehr sind es die kaleidoskopisch zu fassenden Momente der Gegenwart, die den Blick des Dichters auf Stadt und Umland lenken. Die geistige Bruderschaft im Zeichen der Urbanität findet der Dichter, über die Zeiten hinweg, in Juvenal, dessen Dritte Satire er neu übersetzt und erläutert. In einer Reihe von Prosabildern, die an römischen Erinnerungsorten den Apostel Paulus so gut einfangen wie den Antiquitätenhändler und den afrikanischen Immigranten, bricht Grünbein mit dem lyrischen Maß, bevor in freien Versen das Zeichenbuch ausklingt: „Die Städte träumen alle voneinander. / Sie rufen sich beim Markennamen, und das Echo / Hallt durch die engen Korridore der Straßen.“

Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2021Critical theory and feeling
The affective politics of the early Frankfurt School
by Simon Mussell
This book offers a unique and timely reading of the early Frankfurt School in response to the recent 'affective turn' within the arts and humanities. Resisting the overly rationalist tendencies of political philosophy, it argues that critical theory actively cultivates a powerful connection between thinking and feeling, and rediscovers a range of often neglected concepts that were of vital importance to the first generation of critical theorists, including melancholia, hope, (un)happiness, objects and mimesis. In doing so, it brings the dynamic work of Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno, Ernst Bloch and Siegfried Kracauer into conversation with more recent debates around politics and affect. An important intervention in the fields of affect studies and social and political thought, Critical theory and feeling shows that sensuous experience is at the heart of the Frankfurt School's affective politics.

Picturing the Western Front
Photography, practices and experiences in First World War France
by Beatriz Pichel
Between 1914 and 1918, military, press and amateur photographers produced thousands of pictures. Either classified in military archives specially created with this purpose in 1915, collected in personal albums or circulated in illustrated magazines, photographs were supposed to tell the story of the war. Picturing the Western Front argues that photographic practices also shaped combatants and civilians' war experiences. Doing photography (taking pictures, posing for them, exhibiting, cataloguing and looking at them) allowed combatants and civilians to make sense of what they were living through. Photography mattered because it enabled combatants and civilians to record events, establish or reinforce bonds with one another, represent bodies, place people and events in imaginative geographies and making things visible, while making others, such as suicide, invisible. Photographic practices became, thus, frames of experience.

May 1994Common-sense-Kompetenz
Überlegungen zu einer Theorie des »sympathischen« und »natürlichen« Meinens und Verstehens
by Helmuth Feilke
Wie ist das fast »selbstverständliche« Funktionieren menschlicher Kommunikation möglich angesichts bzw. trotz der enormen Kontingenz, die erstens die individuelle Konstruktivität menschlicher Wahrnehmung und Kognition, zweitens die Generativität der grammatischen Kompetenz und drittens die Komplexität hochvariabler Kontexte für das Meinen und Verstehen eröffnen? Wie kommt angesichts dieser Spielräume eine hinreichend gleichsinnige Koonentierung der sozialen Akteure in der Kommunikation zustande? Inwiefern ist unsere sprachliche Kompetenz genau dieser Problematik angepaßt und durch sie bestimmt? Die Common sense-Kompetenz ist der Versuch, auf diese Fragen eine sprachwissenschaftliche Antwort zu geben. Zugleich wird damit der Anspruch erhoben, im Blick auf die Fragen des Zusammenhangs von Kommunikation, Kognition und Kompetenz die Sprachtheorie in ihr Recht zu setzen.

2025Why Be a Christian Today?
by Elisabeth Zoll / Thomas Seiterich (eds.)
The exciting texts and reports by professing Christians offer a fresh perspective for all those who have cultivated a Christian spirituality for many years. However, the book also provides easy access for those who are newly interested in the Christian faith. There are probably as many professions of Christian faith as there are believers in the world. But what do Christians think and how have they been moulded? Elisabeth Zoll and Thomas Seiterich have compiled very personal ideas about the Christian faith in this book. When selecting the contributors, the editors deliberately chose not to include people with church offices or specialised theologians. Irrespective of church policy issues and church scandals, the contributors have provided insights into their path to faith.
