        Fish in Distress

        On the careful management of an endangered resource

        by Manfred Kriener, Stefan Linzmaier

        Consumers stand perplexed at the fish counter. Cod or salmon; mackerel or sea bass? Or perhaps rather carp and trout? How about flounder and dab? Dab what? A terrific flatfish, but sadly hardly anyone has heard of it. And what was it again about organic, aquaculture, wild-caught, and that little blue sustainability certificate? Is catching your own a way out? Before you start thinking it’s time to opt for a chop and fried potatoes instead, read this book. It provides readers with deep blue facts from the world’s waters and analyses the global and local habitat of the finned creature.

        Angela Carter

        by Aidan Day

        This full scale study discusses Angela Carter's fiction in chronological order, and notes that although her themes are fairly consistent throughout her work, consistency of theme is not the same as repetition. The new angles and emphases that develop are partly from Carter's immersion in the changing intellectual debates of the times and, concurrently, arise from the reading she was doing at the different stages of her life, which stretched from the medieval through de Sade to Foucault. ;

        David Lean

        by Melanie Williams, Brian McFarlane, Neil Sinyard

        'A rule of mine is this', said William Goldman in 1983, 'there are always three hot directors and one of them is always David Lean.' One of the best known and most admired of British film makers, David Lean had a directorial career that spanned five decades and encompassed everything from the intimate black-and-white romance of Brief Encounter (1945) to the spectacular Technicolor epic of Lawrence of Arabia (1962). This book offers comprehensive coverage of every feature film directed by Lean, yielding new insights on the established classics of his career as well as its lesser-known treasures. Its analysis prioritises questions of gender and emphasises the often-overlooked but highly significant recurrence of female-centred narratives throughout Lean's career. Drawing extensively on archival historical materials while also presenting nuanced close readings of individual films, David Lean offers a fascinating and original account of the work of a remarkable British film maker. ;

        How a Flatworm Demonstrates the Way to Satisfaction and Freedom

        by M. Storch

        Many people don't know what they want. In this book, a little worm shows the reader how to live life the best way possible. It shows, how often decisions or even entire lifestyles are determined by what is “intimated” by parents, friends, the media, or even the latest fad. Ultimately, the worm shows the reader, that it is only possible to be happy and free, if one knows what one wants and actually actively pursue this. Target Group: For people who want to improve their lives, psychologists, and therapists.

        The political economy of Turkey’s integration to Europe

        Uneven development and hegemony

        by Elif Uzgören

        This book examines Turkey's integration with Europe within structural dynamics of globalisation from a critical political economy perspective. Critical approaches have been sidelined within European Studies. Turkish enlargement is not an exemption. The analyses are based on original data generated by 109 interviews conducted in 2010, 2017 and 2023 with five categories of actors: representatives of capital and labour, political parties, state officials, and struggles around ecology, patriarchy and migration. It argues that the pro-membership was hegemonic in the 2000s which was contested by two rival class strategies, Ha-vet and neo-mercantilism. In the 2010s, pro-membership is no longer hegemonic within rising critical tone of social forces supporting rival class strategies. Unevenness of Turkey's trajectory of integration to Europe is likely to be consolidated through market integration and management of migration through transactional approach.

        Das Recht möchte formal sein

        Essays

        by Stanley Fish, Heinz Bude, Michael Dellwing, Klaus Binder, Heinz Bude, Michael Dellwing

        Der amerikanische Literaturwissenschaftler Stanley Fish gilt wegen seines antifundamentalistischen Pragmatismus als »enfant terrible« der akademischen Welt. Zugleich ist er aber ein bedeutender Essayist in bester angelsächsischer Tradition, der in Deutschland noch zu entdecken ist. Der Band versammelt eine Auswahl seiner Essays, die von den frühen Arbeiten zur Literaturtheorie und Sprachphilosophie bis zu den späteren über das Recht, die Rechtsinterpretation und den Rechtspositivismus reicht. Fish provoziert. Sein Werk ist kein Plädoyer für eine bestimmte rechtliche Ordnung und auch keines für eine Befreiung von dieser, sondern die Beschreibung einer Welt, in der Rhetorik, Verschleierung und Improvisation vorherrschen.
