Humanities & Social SciencesFebruary 1999The Irish and the Spanish Civil War, 1936–1939
by Robert Stradling
The outbreak of the Spanish Civil War threw Irish politics, north and south of the border, into turmoil. Tragic events in Spain aroused emotive responses across the spectrum of Irish society. In contrast to most other communities of the British Isles, citizens of the Irish Free State were mainly pro-Franco. But many on the left felt a strong identification with the plight of the Republic. Ireland sent large organized bodies of men to fight on opposite sides in the Spanish Civil War. The International Brigade volunteers were led by the IRA warrior, Frank Ryan. Their rivals, who became a battalion of Franco's Foreign Legion were mostly members of the semi-facist Blueshirts, and were commanded by the ex-leader of that movement, General Eoin O'Duffy. In late 1936, two enemy crusades - Communist and Catholic - left Ireland to fight it out in Spain. This book, illuminated by personal histories, tells the story of what happened to those two sides. Starting with their eventful journey to Spain, it follows their footsteps across the battlefields of Spain. ;

Children's & YAMarch 2022Das Dorf - Gefahr im Nether (Band 2)
by Karl Olsberg / Philipp Ach
The Villagers - Danger in the Nether (Vol. 2) Loewe Wow! meets MinecraftWhat happens in Volume 2:Nano just can't get the last adventure on the island out of his head. All the people from the village would admire him if he came back with all the emeralds! But that's quickly forgotten when Maffi and he are surprised by a monster. The two are able to escape through a Nether portal - but Nano stumbles right into the arms of the Goldgrunts. He is captured by them, because strangers are not wanted there and must be sacrificed to the black spirits. Oh dear! Luckily, Maffi has seen everything and, together with a friendly Goldgrunt child, is working on a plan to free her best friend from the clutches of the Goldgrunts. At the last moment, she jumps out of her hiding place and requests that she and Nano be accepted into the tribe. The leader doesn't like this at all. He thinks up three difficult tasks for the two of them, which they must pass in turn: they have to fight a great warrior, capture a rotten man and get a black spirit. With brains and determination, they master all the tasks. When the mean leader does not want to keep his word, the Goldgrunts protest and the black spirit takes him to a deserted island. The child becomes the new leader of the tribe. And Maffi and Nano return to their village where, of course, once again no one believes their adventures! • Bestselling author Karl Olsberg, who successfully self-published the Minecraft series The Villagers (#2 in Amazon ranking)• 90:10 picture ratio• Illustrated in b/w with an eye-catching spot color, in the familiar Minecraft look• Exciting stories, independent from the Minecraft game: not only for fans!• Volumes 3 and 4 coming in Fall 2022 and Spring 2023

Humanities & Social SciencesFebruary 2025Pink-pilled
Women and the far right
by Lois Shearing
A daring investigation that explores how women are targeted and recruited by the far right. As the far right has gained popularity and acceptance around the world, its ranks have swelled with an unlikely category of members: women. Women play significant roles in far-right movements, acting as propagandists, prizes to be won and mother-warriors of the nation. But up to now their activities have been largely overlooked. In Pink-pilled, Lois Shearing provides a cutting-edge account of how the far right has used the internet to recruit women, while shedding light on what life is like for women within these movements, including their experiences of misogyny and violence. Understanding how and why women join movements that explicitly aim to restrict their autonomy is essential if we want to fight back. Pink-pilled offers key insights for countering women's radicalisation and building communities resistant to far-right thought.

by Katja Brandis, Claudia Carls
Das Buch zum „Woodwalkers“-Film mit farbiger Bilderstrecke: Auftakt der spannenden Gestaltwandler-Serie von Bestseller-Autorin Katja Brandis! Auf den ersten Blick sieht Carag aus wie ein normaler Junge. Doch hinter seinen leuchtenden Augen verbirgt sich ein Geheimnis: Carag ist ein Puma-Gestaltwandler und lebt erst seit Kurzem in der Menschenwelt. Dieses neue Leben ist für ihn so fremd wie faszinierend. Halb Mensch, halb Berglöwe, ist Carag in der Wildnis der Rocky Mountains aufgewachsen. Seine Neugierde, das Leben als Mensch kennenzulernen, entzweit ihn jedoch mit seiner Berglöwen-Familie und bringt ihn in große Gefahr. Erst als der junge Gestaltwandler von der Clearwater High erfährt, einem geheimen Internat für Woodwalker wie ihn, verspürt er ein Gefühl von Heimat. In Holly, einem frechen Rothörnchen, und Brandon, einem schüchternen Bison, findet er Freunde. Und die kann Carag gut gebrauchen ? denn die Welt der Woodwalker steckt voller Rätsel und Gefahren … Hier kommen Tierfantasy-Fans ab 10 Jahren voll auf ihre Kosten: Spannende Gestaltwandler-Charaktere und mitreißende Abenteuer in der Natur machen jeden Band zum garantierten Lesespaß.
