2021Sugar
Sweet knowledge for practice
by Reinhild Berger
A sweet treat is tempting, but the lurking dangers should not be underestimated. However, it is just as wrong to demonise all types of sugar in general as to avoid it altogether. In this entertaining mini reference book, Reinhild Berger takes the reader on an interesting journey through the labyrinth of sugar, sugar substitutes and sweeteners and gets to the bottom of many questions in the process: How much is too much? What alternatives are there, and which are advisable? How can one select the right one from the deceptive variety in the supermarket? What is the right way to read the food labels on the packaging? What knowledge does one need to be protected against misleading advertisements? - Learn how to recognise differences between the many types of sugar - Read where dangers lie, and which sugar does us good – and in what quantity - Understand how to interpret nutritional values – and that “no artificial sweetener ” does not mean “sugar-free” Welcome to the promising world of the sweet taste!

MedicineAugust 2025Feeling blue
Colour and the modern British hospital
by Victoria Bates
Feeling blue is the first book-length history of colour in modern hospitals. It examines colour in relation to six key themes - hygiene, emotion, humanisation, homeliness, play, consumerism - which are tied together by the idea of the 'modern' hospital. The book does not simply describe changes to the appearance of hospitals over time, but instead thinks expansively about the role of colour in shaping how hospitals felt. It uses colour to understand the layered meanings of modernity in twentieth-century Britain, and its relationship to the 'mundane' or everyday life of hospitals.

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.

March 2021Im Wir und Jetzt
Feministin werden
by Priya Basil, Beatrice Faßbender
Aufgewachsen zwischen zwei Frauen – Mutter und Großmutter –, die gegensätzlicher nicht sein könnten, sucht Priya Basil ihre eigene feministische Stimme. Getrieben von der Vergangenheit, der Vielfalt der Positionen und einer außerordentlichen Erfahrung – der kollaborativen Übernahme eines Modemagazins durch 39 Frauen – beschreibt sie ihren Weg zu mehr Gerechtigkeit und Gleichheit. Brilliant verbindet Priya Basil Selbstverortung mit Philosophie und mitreißender Gesellschaftsanalyse. Und liefert mit Hilfe vieler Verbündeter eine Antwort auf die Frage: Was tun gegen die tief verwurzelte Abwertung von Frauen in unserer Sprache, Geschichte und Gesellschaft? Feministin werden, im Wir und Jetzt.
