Humanities & Social SciencesSeptember 2024My Voice: Danny Herman
by Danny Herman
Danny Herman was born in 1935 in Königsberg in East Prussia. As the Nazis were rounding up Jews, Danny's father managed to escape to England in July 1939. He travelled to the Kitchener Camp in Kent, which helped refugees secure visas for safer places. Danny and his mother arrived in England just three days before war was declared in 1939, and his father was later sent to an internment camp on the Isle of Man. Danny went on to become a successful runner, competing in many international athletics events and volunteering in many roles, including at the 2002 Commonwealth Games. Danny's detailed memories of arriving in England, initially at the seaside in Kent and then moving to Manchester, create a vivid picture of life-changing events as experienced by a young child. Danny's book is part of the My Voice book collection, a stand-alone project of The Fed, the leading Jewish social care charity in Manchester, dedicated to preserving the life stories of Holocaust survivors and refugees from Nazi persecution who settled in the UK. The oral history, which is recorded and transcribed, captures their entire lives from before, during and after the war years. The books are written in the words of the survivor so that future generations can always hear their voice. The My Voice book collection is a valuable resource for Holocaust awareness and education.

Business, Economics & LawJanuary 2026International organisations, non-State actors, and the formation of customary international law
by Sufyan Droubi, Jean d'Aspremont
This volume offers new practical and theoretical perspectives on one of the most complex questions regarding the formation of international law, namely that actors other than states contribute to the making of customary international law. Notwithstanding the International Law Commission's valuable contribution, the making of customary international law remains riddled with acute practical and theoretical controversies that continue to be intensively debated. Making extensive reference to the case-law of international law courts and tribunals, as well as the most recent scholarly work on customary international law, this volume provides a comprehensive study of the contribution of international organisations and non-state actors to the formation of customary international law. With innovative tools and guidance for law students, legal scholars, and researchers in law, as well as legal practitioners, advisers, judges, arbitrators, and counsels, this collection is essential reading for those wishing to understand and address contemporary questions of international law-making.

August 2021Das Labyrinth (3). Das Labyrinth ist ohne Gnade
Actiongeladene Mysteryserie ab 12 Jahren
by Rainer Wekwerth
Sie sind nur noch zu dritt und sie sind geschwächt. Aber sie wollen überleben – um jeden Preis. Zweifel überschatten den Kampf gegen das Labyrinth, das mit immer neuen Mysterien für die Jugendlichen aufwartet. Ihr mühsam erworbener Teamgeist scheint nicht zu brechen, doch lohnt sich für Jeb, Jenna und Mary der gemeinsame Kampf, wenn nur einer von ihnen überleben kann? Die entscheidende Frage aber wagt niemand zu stellen: Was erwartet den letzten Überlebenden hinter dem sechsten Tor? „Aus dem Labyrinth gibt es kein Entkommen, es hat mir den Schlaf geraubt. Spannender geht’s nicht.“ Ursula Poznanski „Das Labyrinth erwacht“ (Band 1 der Trilogie) wurde ausgezeichnet mit den Leserpreisen „Segeberger Feder“ und „Ulmer Unke“. Nominiert für die Leserpreise „Buxtehuder Bulle“ und „Goldene Leslie“. Alle Bände der Labyrinth-Tetralogie:Das Labyrinth erwacht (1)Das Labyrinth jagt dich (2)Das Labyrinth ist ohne Gnade (3)Das Labyrinth vergisst nicht (4)

Cinematic perspectives on international law
by Olivier Corten, Francois Dubuisson, Martyna Falkowska-Clarys
Why are constitutionalist ideals so prominent in science fiction? Does Independence Day depict self-defence as a legal concept with absolute limits? Is international law lost in space? This innovative interdisciplinary volume represents the first exploration of the relationship between international law and cinema. From Star Wars to Werner Herzog, The Godfather to The West Wing, this book uncovers a diverse range of representations of international law and its norms in film and television. Examining the wider links between international law, cinema, and ideology, the contributions not only examine visual representations of international law, but they offer an essential insight into the functions fulfilled by these cinematic representations. Providing an extraordinary introduction to a variety of perspectives on core international legal questions, Cinematic perspectives on international law extends a valuable methodology by which international lawyers can critique the depiction of international law in film.
