July 2021My Life with Viruses
A researcher’s history of the fascinating world of pathogens
by Ernst-Ludwig Winnacker in association with Jeanne Rubner
In times of the coronavirus pandemic many people have certainly condemned them, but Professor Ernst-Ludwig Winnacker has dedicated his life to researching them and is intrigued by viruses – even if sometimes he is keenly aware of their fatal effects. To mark his 80th birthday the biochemist describes the co-evolution and co-existence as well as the eternal ‘battle’ between humans and viruses. Winnacker takes up the cause of these ‘biological elements between animate and inanimate nature’ because they play an important role in fundamental research and genetic technology, and without them human beings would not be what they are.

The ArtsJuly 2025Ida Lupino
Multifaceted performer and cinematic pioneer
by Gillian Kelly
This book contributes to a welcome new wave focusing on the importance of female filmmakers, providing a reappraisal of Ida Lupino, a cinematic figure of significant importance. Given her ability to move between popular and independent cinemas and her status as both a Hollywood star and director/writer/producer of socially relevant films overlooked by the mainstream, Lupino is a particularly interesting case study. Employing a range of critical approaches, including feminist theory, auteur theory and critical theory, this book investigates key themes and motifs that developed across Lupino's unusual and unique career as one of the most significant female players in film history. Investigating her oeuvre as actress, director, writer and producer, it discusses Lupino as a complex and important filmmaker whose career, on both sides of the camera, requires substantially more critical attention than it has been awarded thus far.

September 2011Die niederländische Jungfrau
Roman
by Marente Moor, Helga Beuningen
Sommer 1936. Janna, eine junge Fechterin, soll bei einem alten Freund ihres Vaters Jacq in die Lehre gehen. Von Maastricht aus reist sie über die Grenze nach Aachen. Hier lebt – verwundet und verbittert zurückgekehrt aus dem 1. Weltkrieg – Egon von Bötticher, ein wahrer Meister seiner Kunst. Auf einem einsamen Landgut, das er mit eiserner Hand regiert, unterrichtet er zwei Zwillingsbrüder und organisiert blutige Duelle für Studenten. In diese eigenartige Welt gerät Janna, deren Abneigung gegen den narbenübersäten Egon schon bald in Verliebtheit umschlägt. Welches Geheimnis aber gibt es zwischen ihm und ihrem Vater? Auf der Suche nach Antworten findet sie von Jacq an Egon adressierte Briefe und gerät immer tiefer hinein in die Rätselhaftigkeit des Vergangenen. Nach und nach bricht die Außenwelt in das Landgut ein, und es kommt zu einer dramatischen Auflösung. Bildreich und zugleich präzis zeichnet und koloriert Marente de Moor eine Zeit des Übergangs: Ein Mädchen reift zur Frau, ein Krieg deutet sich an, Unschuld verkehrt sich zu Schuld.
