        Our picture book "You Are Not My Mother", about a young girl who had lost her mother and trying to  adapt to the new  lady in the family, was translated into Korean and sold in Korea.   "How to be a Big Good Wolf" is  our latest picture book based  on a series of illustrations that had won the illustrator "The ASEAN  Children's Book  Illustrator Award of Excellence". Through one of our projects, Storymakers League, we have a talented group of young Asian authors ages 18 and below  (from 9 countries) who have written stories for us to publish. The anthologies and  novels written by them  are perfect for school libraries around the world. We are constantly on the look out for more young authors around the globe, nurture them and have them write for their peers wherever they are. We are also looking for distributors worldwide to get these books into  libraries at schools to inspire  more kids to appreciate the written word and encourage them to  start writing stories too.

        Manhattan Karma

        Ein Leonid-McGill-Roman

        by Walter Mosley, Kristian Lutze

        Leonid McGill, Privatdetektiv mit dunkler Vergangenheit und Familienvater mit Herz, ermittelt in einem scheinbar harmlosen Fall. Als er dabei auf die Abschußliste eines Killers gerät, muß er auf seine alten Kontakte zur New Yorker Unterwelt zurückgreifen. Von dort aus ist es nicht weit zu den angesehensten Kreisen von Manhattan ... Schon als Waisenjunge hat Leonid McGill gelernt, daß man einstecken können muß, um in New York zu überleben – besonders wenn man schwarz ist und einen seltsamen Namen hat. Leonid wurde Boxer. Aber er war für den Sport nicht gemacht. Also versuchte er sein Glück auf der Straße, arbeitete jahrelang als Schnüffler für den Mob. Heute ist er Anfang Fünfzig, lebt mit einer Frau zusammen, die er nicht liebt, um für seine Kinder dazusein, die er – mit einer Ausnahme – nicht gezeugt hat, und versucht, sein Geld endlich auf legale Weise zu verdienen. Doch auch wenn Amerika im Wandel ist und ein schwarzer Präsident das Land regiert – für einen wie McGill ist es nicht leicht, von der schiefen Bahn abzukommen, denn seine Vergangenheit holt ihn immer wieder ein.

        Gaudï in Manhattan

        Eine phantastische Erzählung

        by Carlos Ruiz Zafón

        »Jahre später, als ich zuschaute, wie sich das Trauergefolge meines Meisters durch den Paseo de Gracia bewegte, erinnerte ich mich an den Tag, an dem ich Gaudí kennengelernt hatte und sich mein Schicksal für immer änderte.« Ein junger Architekturstudent begleitet den berühmten Architekten nach Amerika, wo Antonio Gaudí den Auftrag, einen Wolkenkratzer zu bauen, erhalten soll. Doch als sie in Manhattan ankommen, nehmen die Dinge einen ganz anderen Verlauf. Das Phantastische ist, wie Carlos Ruiz Zafón, der Autor des Welterfolgs Der Schatten des Windes, sagt, »der Grund- und Schlußstein im großen Palast der Literatur«. Das bestätigt auch diese kleine phantastische Erzählung, die Karl-Georg Hirsch mit unheimlichen Zeichnungen illustriert hat.

        The renewal of post-war Manchester

        Planning, architecture and the state

        by Richard Brook

        A compelling account of the project to transform post-war Manchester, revealing the clash between utopian vision and compromised reality. Urban renewal in Britain was thrilling in its vision, yet partial and incomplete in its implementation. For the first time, this deep study of a renewal city reveals the complex networks of actors behind physical change and stagnation in post-war Britain. Using the nested scales of region, city and case-study sites, the book explores the relationships between Whitehall legislation, its interpretation by local government planning officers and the on-the-ground impact through urban architectural projects. Each chapter highlights the connections between policy goals, global narratives and the design and construction of cities. The Cold War, decolonialisation, rising consumerism and the oil crisis all feature in a richly illustrated account of architecture and planning in post-war Manchester.

        Manhattan Love Story

        Roman

        by Benjamin Markovits, Christa Krüger

        Eine Privatschule im Norden Manhattans. Ein enges Geflecht von Beziehungen verbindet einige der Schüler und Lehrer. Alle sind sie auf der Suche nach Liebe, nach Glück und Erfolg, ersehnen die Veränderung und sind doch gefangen in familiären Bindungen und festen Vorstellungen vom Leben und von der Welt. Kunstvoll verknüpft Benjamin Markovits unterschiedliche Lebensgeschichten und Schicksale zum Porträt einer Gruppe von Menschen im heutigen New York. Da ist Amy, eine junge Biologielehrerin aus dem ländlichen Indiana, die der Einsamkeit in New York durch die Flucht an die Seite eines weltgewandten Juristen zu entrinnen versucht. Aber dessen Welt und die Welt ihrer Herkunft kollidieren schmerzhaft. Da ist ein älterer homosexueller Lehrer, der sich plötzlich der Existenz einer eigenen Tochter gegenübersieht und sich abrupt aus der Beziehung zu seinem Freund löst. Stuart, ein anderer Lehrer, träumt vom Ausbruch aus langjähriger Ehe – wie er einem seiner Kollegen scheinbar gelungen ist – mit einer seiner Schülerinnen. Diese, konfrontiert mit dem bevorstehenden Tod des geliebten Vaters, scheint sich zunächst auf seine Avancen einzulassen… Mit genauen Beobachtungen und psychologischem Scharfsinn nähert sich Markovits seinen Figuren. Aus wechselnder Perspektive erscheint dieselbe Person in ganz unterschiedlichem Licht; die Liebe bringt Selbstbilder ins Wanken und läßt Lebensläufe außer Kontrolle geraten – bis sich Lösungen anbahnen, mit denen die Figuren des Romans selbst am allerwenigsten gerechnet haben.

        Manual Trigger Point Therapy and Dry Needling for Chronic Pain

        Myofascial medicine as an approach to an unresolved challenge

        by Beat Dejung

        Medicine for the relief of pain has made little progress in the last 50 years. 16% of our population claim to suffer from chronic pain, for which no lasting help can be found, despite years of treatment by different doctors. Trigger point therapy experts have integrated myofascial techniques into their everyday therapy in recent decades and through this they have achieved good results even with complex and chronic problems. In this book, instructors from the Interest Group for Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy (IMTT) in Switzerland present 33 complex cases of patients with chronic pain, whose pain they were able to relieve perma­nently with manual trigger point therapy and dry needling. Using these case studies, double­page spreads with an edu­cational, uniform layout clearly present the diagnosis, pathophysiology and chronifcation of myofascial pain syn­dromes and, in conclusion, describe encouraging and sur­prising successes despite previous therapy resistance.

        Race and settler colonialism in Southern Rhodesia, 1919–79

        by Nicola Ginsburgh

        This book offers the first comprehensive history of white workers from the end of the First World War to Zimbabwean independence in 1980. It reveals how white worker identity was constituted, examines the white labouring class as an ethnically and nationally heterogeneous formation comprised of both men and women, and emphasises the active participation of white workers in the ongoing and contested production of race. White wage labourers' experiences, both as exploited workers and as part of the privileged white minority, offer insight into how race and class co-produced one another and how boundaries fundamental to settler colonialism were regulated and policed. Based on original research conducted in Zimbabwe, South Africa and the UK, this book offers a unique theoretical synthesis of work on gender, whiteness studies, labour histories, settler colonialism, Marxism, emotions and the New African Economic History.

        Air empire

        British imperial civil aviation, 1919–39

        by Gordon Pirie, Andrew Thompson, John M. MacKenzie

        Air empire is a fresh study of civil aviation as a tool of late British imperialism. The first pioneering flights across the British empire in 1919-20 were flag-waving adventures that recreated an era of plucky British maritime exploration and conquest. Britain's development of international air routes and services was approved, organised and celebrated largely in London; there was some resistance in and beyond the subordinate colonies and dominions. Negotiating the financing and geopolitics of regular commercial air service delayed its inception until the 1930s. Technological, managerial and logistical problems also meant that Britain was slow into the air and slow in the air. Propaganda concealed underperformance and criticism. The study uses archival sources, biographies, industry magazines and newspapers to chronicle the disputed progress toward air empire. The rhetoric behind imperial air service offers a glimpse of late imperial hopes, fears, attitudes and style. Empire air service had emotional appeal and symbolic value, but disappointed in practice.

        British Politics in an Age of Reform

        by Michael J. Turner, Mark Greengrass

        This work is a detailed examination of principal themes in the political history of late 18th- and early 19th-century Britain. It evaluates much recent research, links the politics of the elite with the politics of the people and seeks to explain significant developments with reference to both their long- and short-term causes. Among the issues addressed are the relative powers of crown, cabinet and parliament between 1760 and 1832; the impact on domestic politics of revolution and war abroad; the growth of radicalism and popular political activity; agitation for reform and the responses of government; the rise of party; the connections between extra-parliamentary pressure and instability; at the centre of power. ;

        Hollywood and beyond

        by Mark Jancovich, Andy Willis, Eric Schaefer, Susan Williams

        Stars are central to the cinema experience, and this collection offers a variety of fresh and informed perspectives on this important but sometimes neglected area of film studies.This book takes as its focus film stars from the past and present, from Hollywood, its margins and beyond and analyses them through a close consideration of their films and the variety of contexts in which they worked. The book spreads the net wide, looking at past stars from Rosalind Russell and Charlton Heston to present day stars including Sandra Bullock, Jackie Chan and Jim Carrey, as well as those figures who have earnt themselves a certain film star cachet such as Prince, and the martial artist Cynthia Rothrock. The collection will be essential reading for students and lecturers of film studies, as well as to those with a general interest in the cinema. ;

        Air power and colonial control

        by David Omissi

        Air policing was used in many colonial possessions, but its most effective incidence occurred in the crescent of territory from north-eastern Africa, through South-West Arabia, to North West Frontier of India. This book talks about air policing and its role in offering a cheaper means of 'pacification' in the inter-war years. It illuminates the potentialities and limitations of the new aerial technology, and makes important contributions to the history of colonial resistance and its suppression. Air policing was employed in the campaign against Mohammed bin Abdulla Hassan and his Dervish following in Somaliland in early 1920. The book discusses the relationships between air control and the survival of Royal Air Force in Iraq and between air power and indirect imperialism in the Hashemite kingdoms. It discusses Hugh Trenchard's plans to substitute air for naval or coastal forces, and assesses the extent to which barriers of climate and geography continued to limit the exercise of air power. Indigenous responses include being terrified at the mere sight of aircraft to the successful adaptation to air power, which was hardly foreseen by either the opponents or the supporters of air policing. The book examines the ethical debates which were a continuous undercurrent to the stream of argument about repressive air power methods from a political and operational perspective. It compares air policing as practised by other European powers by highlighting the Rif war in Morocco, the Druze revolt in Syria, and Italy's war of reconquest in Libya.
