        Sugar

        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!

        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.“

        Feeling 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.

        Critical 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.

        Private detective Kwiatkowski never fails to solve a case! A trip to Athens? Kwiatkowski can hardly believe his luck when Olga, an old friend, sends him an invitation.

It is a matter of honour that even during his holidays Kwiatkowski must use his superskills. Soon the two detectives are on the move among the ancient temple walls in their search to solve the mystery of the goddess Athene’s nose…
