March 2009Hobo Blues
Ein amerikanisches Nachtbild
by William T. Vollmann, Thomas Melle
William T. Vollmann, Träger des renommierten National Book Award und in den USA längst ein Star, erforscht »in seiner ausufernden, faszinierenden Prosa« die menschliche Existenz, schonungslos, erfahrungshungrig und mit »unübertroffenem Einfühlungsvermögen« (FAZ). In seiner neuen literarischen Reportage widmet er sich nun einem nationalen Mythos: dem Hobo – Held und Opfer des American Dream. Der auf Güterzügen reisende Tramp ist spätestens seit der Great Depression, als Tausende von Wanderarbeitern durch das Land zogen, Teil des amerikanischen Imaginären. Woody Guthrie und Bob Dylan haben ihn besungen, Mark Twain, Jack London und Ernest Hemingway setzten ihm in ihren Büchern Denkmäler. Vollmann, selbst ein Getriebener, kennt die unstillbare Sehnsucht nach dem freien Leben und macht sich auf den Weg, die Realität hinter dem geschichtlichen, politischen und literarischen Vermächtnis zu erkunden. Mit seinem Kumpel Steve erklimmt er Güterwaggons und reist kreuz und quer durch den amerikanischen Westen; er beschreibt die wilde Schönheit der Landschaft und den Nervenkitzel des illegalen Reisens, interviewt Hobos und gibt sich Rechenschaft über den Wunsch, seiner bürgerlichen Existenz zu entfliehen. Aus Vollmanns Impressionen und Reflexionen entsteht so ein transitorisches Nachtbild der heutigen USA – der Träume, Alpträume und Begierden einer Nation, deren wichtigstes Gut einmal die Freiheit ihrer Bürger war.

Humanities & Social SciencesAugust 2011Oceania under steam
Sea transport and the cultures of colonialism, c. 1870–1914
by Andrew Thompson, Frances Steel, John Mackenzie
The age of steam was the age of Britain's global maritime dominance, the age of enormous ocean liners and human mastery over the seas. The world seemed to shrink as timetabled shipping mapped out faster, more efficient and more reliable transoceanic networks. But what did this transport revolution look like at the other end of the line, at the edge of empire in the South Pacific? Through the historical example of the largest and most important regional maritime enterprise - the Union Steam Ship Company of New Zealand - Frances Steel eloquently charts the diverse and often conflicting interests, itineraries and experiences of commercial and political elites, common seamen and stewardesses, and Islander dock workers and passengers. Drawing on a variety of sources, including shipping company archives, imperial conference proceedings, diaries, newspapers and photographs, this book will appeal to cultural historians and geographers of British imperialism, scholars of transport and mobility studies, and historians of New Zealand and the Pacific. ;

Humanities & Social SciencesApril 2010Orangism in the Dutch Republic in word and image, 1650–75
by Jill Stern, Joseph Bergin, Penny Roberts, Bill Naphy
This remarkable study represents a completely original presentation of the language and imagery used by the Orangists in the critical period in the mid-seventeenth century Netherlands as they sought the restoration of the stadholderate in the person of the young prince William III. Stern argues that the Orangists had no desire for the prince to become a monarch, rather that they viewed the stadholderate as an essential component of the Dutch constitution, the Union of Utrecht, and fulfilling a key role as defender of the rights and privileges of the citizenry against an overwheening urban oligarchy. Source material is drawn not only from books and political pamphlets but also from contemporary drama, poetry, portraits, prints, and medals. This enables the author to examine the imagery used by the supporters of the House of Orange, in particular the symbols of rebirth and regeneration which were deployed to propagate the restoration of the stadholderate in the person of William III. ;

Tagebuchaufzeichnungen und Briefe
by Maxie Wander, Fred Wander, Fred Wander
»Ein Leben reicht nicht aus, alle guten Bücher zu lesen, alle Menschen kennenzulernen, alle Länder, die ich sehen möchte.« Maxie Wanders Aufzeichnungen aus den Jahren 1964 bis 1968 beeindrucken: Ob sie gemeinsam mit ihrem Mann durch die französische Metropole streift, in billigen Hotels wohnt und das »berühmte Pariser Licht« entdeckt oder sich mit den alltäglichen Aufgaben zu Hause, mit den Kindern, den vielen Freunden, der eigenen Arbeit befaßt – ihr Thema ist die »Suche nach einer neuen Art zu leben, anders zu leben, aufrichtig und schöpferisch zu leben«, wie es im Vorwort von Fred Wander heißt. Maxie Wanders Briefe und Tagebuchnotizen zeichnen das Bild einer klugen, neugierigen, impulsiven Frau, die das Leben mit Leidenschaft betrieb.

Tagebücher und Briefe
by Maxie Wander, Fred Wander
Im Sommer 1976 bestätigt sich der schlimme Verdacht: Maxie Wander leidet an Krebs und wird ein Jahr später daran sterben. Die vorliegende Sammlung von Tagebucheinträgen und Briefen ermöglicht es dem Leser, sie auf diesem Lebensabschnitt zu begleiten. Mit klarem Blick und scharfer Selbstironie schildert sie ihre Odyssee durch die Behandlungsräume verschiedener Ärzte, die Sprachlosigkeit im Angesicht der Krankheit und die Intensität, die das Leben bekommt, wenn es nicht länger selbstverständlich ist. Maxie Wander bezaubert auch in den schwärzesten Augenblicken mit ihrer Faszination für die kleinen Dinge des Lebens, mit ihrem Lebenswillen und mit ihrer Selbsterkenntnis: Leben wär eine prima Alternative. Ein Titel, der für Leserinnen und Leser in Ost und West zur Maxime wurde und ihre Aufzeichnungen zum Kultbuch machte.

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2023Love and revolution
A politics for the deep commons
by Matt York
Based on award-winning research, Love and revolution brings classical and contemporary anarchist thought into a mutually beneficial dialogue with a global cross-section of ecological, anti-capitalist, feminist and anti-racist activists - discussing real-life examples of the loving-caring relations that underpin many contemporary struggles. Such a (r)evolutionary love is discovered to be a common embodied experience among the activists contributing to this collective vision, manifested as a radical solidarity, as political direct action, as long-term processes of struggle, and as a deeply relational more-than-human ethics. This book provides an essential resource for all those interested in building a free society grounded in solidarity and care, and offers a timely contribution to contemporary movement discourse.

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.

September 2020It was always love
by Hotel, Nikola
She’s had enough of men, but he can’t get enough of her... Away. Just get out of here. That's all Aubree thinks about when she gets kicked out of college after a party. She buys an incredibly old car, throws the few things she owns into the trunk and flees to her best friend Ivy in New Hampshire. There, all she wants is to pull the blanket over her head and think of nothing else. Not about that night. Not about the party. And most of all, not that picture that's been circulating on the Internet ever since. But it doesn't work. Because instead of her friend, she meets Noah, Ivy's stepbrother. With his impulsive but surprisingly sensitive nature, Noah evokes feelings in her that she doesn't need right now. And which, nevertheless, sweep her away like a storm... Second volume of a romantic and exciting dilogy with 20 lavishly illustrated hand-lettered pages by Carolin Magunia. Including a playlist that can be found on Spotify and contains songs which match perfectly with the story! It was always you (Vol. 1) entered the Spiegel bestseller list immediately after its publication. Both titles can be read separately.

The labour movement in Lebanon
Power on hold
by Lea Bou Khater
The labour movement in Lebanon: Power on hold narrates the history of the Lebanese labour movement from the early twentieth century to today. Bou Khater demonstrates that trade unionism in the country has largely been a failure, for reasons including state interference, tactical co-optation, and the strategic use of sectarianism by an oligarchic elite, together with the structural weakness of a service-based laissez-faire economy. Drawing on a vast body of Arabic-language primary sources and difficult-to-access archives, the book's conclusions are significant not only for trade unionism, but also for new forms of workers' organisations and social movements in Lebanon and beyond. The Lebanese case study presented here holds significant implications for the wider Arab world and for comparative studies of labour. This authoritative history of the labour movement in Lebanon is vital reading for scholars of trade unionism, Lebanese politics, and political economy.
