Is the Brain Rational?
The Findings of a Neuropsychologist
by L. Jäncke
This book takes the reader on a fascinating journey, demonstrating in an understandable and entertaining way how the brain affects our thoughts, actions, and feelings - and that this sometimes only peripherally involves reason. It shows, that the subconscious actually exists and how it affects us, how we arrive at both right and wrong decisions, how our memory works, how fragile it can be, and yet also how robust. Using insightful experiments and the latest research results, including many examples, this book presents the reader what an incredibly impressive thinking organ the brain actually is – even if it is not a purely “rational machine”. Target Group: For people interested in the results of research into the workings of the brain in the areas of decision-making, memory, and consciousness.

PsychiatryFebruary 2016Making Resources Count
Practical Application of Resource Activation
by Utta Deppe-Schmitz, Miriam Deubner-Böhme
This title shows how resource activation can take place in behavioral therapy to enhance the patient’s well-being and improve problem solving processes. In resource oriented therapy, patients learn to regain sight of their resources since, unfortunately, many patients have lost sight of their resources so these cannot aid in the patient’s recovery and remains unused potential. Resource activation, therefore, has a positive impact on therapy. This practical handbook offers different interventions for resources activation for each phase of therapy and uses practical examples to outline the procedure. It introduces interventions for resource oriented therapy planning, activation of already existing resources, resource activation at the end of therapy as well as resource oriented therapy sessions. The CD contains worksheets and other materials that can be used to aid the described interventions. Target Group: psychotherapists, specialists in psychiatry and psychotherapie, specialists in psychosomatic medicine, clinical psychologists, psychological counselors, students and teachers of psychology.

Literature & Literary StudiesMay 2023Pasts at play
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.

MedicineHumanity in the Crisis Zone
Field Report of a Nurse on H umanitarian Aid with Doctors Without Borders (MSF) in South Sudan
by Andreas F. Lutz
A hospital somewhere in remote South Sudan. A place where peoples’ lives are marked by extreme poverty, war, violence, the climate crisis and the daily struggle for survival. How does it feel to be human under these conditions? What moves someone to voluntarily go where nobody would want to? Andreas Lutz takes you on a journey to a project run by the humanitarian aid organization Médecins Sans Frontières in the northeast of South Sudan. Impressed by encounters with people who live under the precarious conditions of this crisis zone, he writes about his experiences as a caregiver and, among other things, about how healthcare provision works with very limited resources.

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2026Rodrigo Ximenez de Rada’s Minor Histories
by Aymenn Al-Tamimi
This work provides the first complete English translation of works by Toledan archbishop Rodrigo Ximénez de Rada (1170-1247 CE), whose 'Minor Histories' are sequels to his larger 'Gothic History' and thus round off his grand history of Spain project that he began at the request of King Ferdinand III. The 'Minor Histories' include Rodrigo's 'History of the Arabs' that can be considered the first surviving Western monograph focused on Arab and Islamic history and thus occupies a unique position in the medieval Latin corpus of writings. In addition to the translation, this book provides a thorough and accessible introduction to the life and works of Rodrigo, making sense of the context in which he wrote and his historical method. The translations are thoroughly annotated including cross-references to other Latin and Arabic sources for comparison.
