Humanities & Social SciencesMay 2024The Official Record
Oversight, national security and democracy
by Peter Finn, Robert Ledger
The construction, control and preservation of the Official Record is inherently contested. Those seeking greater openness and (democratic) accountability argue 'sunlight is [...] the best of disinfectants', while others seek stricter information control because, to their mind, sound government arises when advice and policy are formulated secretly. This edited volume explores the intersection of the Official Record, oversight, national security and democracy. Through US, UK and Canadian case studies, this volume will benefit higher level undergraduate readers and above to explore the Official Record in the context of the national security operations of democratic states. All chapters are research-based pieces of original writing that feature a document appendix containing primary documents (often excerpts) that are key to a chapter's narrative. As a result, this book interrogates the boundaries between national security, accountability, oversight, and the Official Record.

Humanities & Social SciencesApril 2022A new naval history
by Quintin Colville, James Davey, Katherine Parker, Elaine Chalus, Evan Wilson, Barbara Korte, Cicely Robinson, Cindy McCreery, Ellie Miles, Mary A. Conley, Jonathan Rayner, Daniel Spence, Emma Hanna, Ulrike Zimmerman, Max Jones, Jan Rüger
A New Naval History brings together the most significant and interdisciplinary approaches to contemporary naval history. The last few decades have witnessed a transformation in how this field is researched and understood and this volume captures the state of a field that continues to develop apace. It examines - through the prism of naval affairs - issues of nationhood and imperialism; the legacy of Nelson; the socio-cultural realities of life in ships and naval bases; and the processes of commemoration, journalism and stage-managed pageantry that plotted the interrelationship of ship and shore. This bold and original publication will be essential for undergraduate and postgraduate students of naval and maritime history. Beyond that, though, it marks an important intervention into wider historiographies that will be read by scholars from across the spectrum of social history, cultural studies and the analysis of national identity.

Literature & Literary StudiesMay 2024A book of monsters
Promethean horror in modern literature and culture
by David Ashford
This books traces the rise to prominence in the twentieth-century of a sub-genre of gothic fiction that is, emphatically, a horror of enlightenment rationality rather than gothic darkness, examining post-modern revisions of Modernist "Promethean" tropes in an eclectic range of gothic, fantasy and SF writing. Whether the subject be terror of London's churches in the psychogeographical fiction of Iain Sinclair and Alan Moore, the Orcs in the linguistic fantasies of J.R.R. Tolkien, King Kong, killer-computers, or demon-children in post-war British science-fiction, A Book of Monsters offers illuminating perspectives on the darker recesses of the post-modern imagination, setting out a compelling, and comprehensive, overview on our contemporary unconscious.

March 2022Without a Word
by Jennifer Schumann, Moon Notes
In "Without a Word" von Jennifer Schumann begegnet die junge, ambitionierte Schauspielerin Madeleine während einer Auszeit im Café ihrer Freundin einem geheimnisvollen Stammgast. Dieser Mann, der weder spricht noch Madeleine direkt ansieht, übt eine unerklärliche Faszination auf sie aus. Trotz seiner abweisenden Haltung lässt Madeleine nicht locker und bemüht sich, ihm näher zu kommen. Nach und nach enthüllt sich ihr der Grund für sein Verhalten, und sie erkennt, dass Liebe nicht immer Worte benötigt, um wahr und tief zu sein. Die Geschichte erzählt von der langsamen, aber intensiven Annäherung zwischen Madeleine und dem jungen Mann, der sich später als Eden herausstellt. Trotz der sprachlosen Kommunikation entwickelt sich zwischen ihnen eine tiefe Verbundenheit, die zeigt, wie stark nonverbale Interaktionen sein können. Madeleine lernt dabei nicht nur Edens Geheimnis kennen, sondern auch, dass Liebe Hindernisse überwinden kann, die auf den ersten Blick unüberwindbar scheinen. Durch ihre Hartnäckigkeit und ihr offenes Herz entdeckt sie eine neue Art der Liebe – eine Liebe, die ohne Worte auskommt, dafür aber umso eindrücklicher spricht. "Without a Word" ist eine bewegende Geschichte über die Kraft der Liebe, die auch die tiefsten Barrieren durchbrechen kann. Berührende Liebesgeschichte, die zeigt, dass wahre Liebe auch ohne Worte tief und bedeutungsvoll sein kann. Faszinierende Charakterentwicklung: Erlebe Madeleines Reise von einer ehrgeizigen Schauspielerin zu einer einfühlsamen Partnerin, die die Kraft der nonverbalen Kommunikation entdeckt. Unerwartete Wendungen und emotionale Tiefe, die den Leser von der ersten bis zur letzten Seite fesseln. Einzigartiges Setting in einem Café, das als Bühne für die zarte Annäherung zwischen Madeleine und dem geheimnisvollen Eden dient. Behandelt wichtige und sensible Themen wie Krankheit, Tod und Trauer auf eine respektvolle und berührende Weise. Perfekte Mischung aus Romantik und Realismus, die zum Nachdenken anregt und gleichzeitig das Herz erwärmt. Wechselnde Perspektiven zwischen Madeleine und Eden ermöglichen einen tiefen Einblick in ihre Gedanken und Gefühle, wodurch die Geschichte eine außergewöhnliche Intimität erhält. Emotional packendes Leseerlebnis, das zum Weinen und zum Nachdenken über die Bedeutung von Liebe und Verlust anregt. Positive Leserrezensionen heben hervor, wie einfühlsam und mitreißend die Geschichte erzählt wird, und empfehlen das Buch für Fans emotionaler Liebesromane. Das Buch bietet neben der romantischen Geschichte auch wertvolle Lebenslektionen über das Überwinden von Hindernissen und die Bedeutung des im Jetzt zu leben.

March 2024Today Is a Good Day to Abolish the Patriarchy
by Bettina Schulte (ed.)
Do we still need feminism in Europe? Equality or difference feminism? A new generation of feminists has now broken away from the feminism of the 1960s. The old white Cis man has been discredited, by the "#MeToo" movement at the latest. Sexualised violence against women has been outlawed, perpetrators taken to court. So everything’s good? No, of course not. Men still dominate public discourse; men are unchallenged in leadership positions in politics, society and business; male power still prevails in the domestic environment as well. The extent to which men fight back when they feel threatened by feminism is also evident in the revival of authoritarian nationalist politicians in Europe and around the world. The seven authors shed light on feminist struggles in different areas of life, and illustrate the range of feminism today.

Does Movement Really Make Us Smart?
by Petra Jansen, Stefanie Richter
Media reports often praise movement as a cure-all. But apart from its undisputed positive effect on health, does movement really make us smarter? Consider a national football team, for example – are these excessively sports-driven players automatically the smartest people? Should we simply replace all school subjects with sports? The authors provide a detailed summary of the latest scientific findings on the influence of movement on cognitive ability. They describe the effects of movement, on old age, embodiment, emotion, school as well as other factors that influence cognition. Target Group: teachers, lecturers, psychologists, psychiatrists, neurologists, psychotherapists, movement therapists.
