November 2021The Forest of the Future – A New Reality
Understanding the ecosystem
by Hans Jürgen Böhmer
What happened with forest dieback? The predictions of the 1980s that forests would be in decline across Europe have not come true. Currently, attention again focuses on the doom scenarios of the loss of entire forests and cultural landscapes in an emotional and sometimes hysterical debate. Biogeographer Hans Jürgen Böhmer refers to updated case studies and his 30 years of research experience on global ecosystems to demonstrate extremely complex interrelations of the natural world that various actors monitor in contrasting ways and characterized by different times and ideologies. Böhmer advocates to embed the sustainability debate more strongly in the living environment, rather than relying exclusively on model calculations.

August 2018Hazel Wood
Wo alles beginnt
by Melissa Albert, Fabienne Pfeiffer, Frauke Schneider
Alice hat schon immer das Gefühl gehabt, vom Unheil verfolgt zu sein. Ihr Leben nimmt eine dramatische Wendung, als ihre Großmutter, die geheimnisumwobene Märchenerzählerin Althea Proserpine, stirbt und kurz darauf ihre Mutter spurlos verschwindet. Zurück bleibt nur eine kryptische Nachricht: „Halt dich fern von Hazel Wood“. Getrieben von dem Bedürfnis, ihre Mutter zu finden und das Rätsel ihrer eigenen Vergangenheit zu lösen, begibt sich Alice auf eine Reise, die sie tief in das Herz der Dunkelheit und zu den Wurzeln ihrer Familiengeschichte führt. Hazel Wood, der Ort, an dem alles begann und der eng mit den düsteren Märchen ihrer Großmutter verwoben ist, scheint der Schlüssel zu sein, um das Geheimnis zu lüften und ihre Mutter zu retten. Je näher Alice Hazel Wood kommt, desto mehr offenbart sich eine Welt, die weit über ihre kühnsten Träume und schlimmsten Albträume hinausgeht. Sie entdeckt eine unheimliche Wahrheit, die alles, was sie über sich selbst und ihre Familie zu wissen glaubte, in Frage stellt. Die Grenzen zwischen Realität und Märchen verschwimmen, und Alice muss sich den dunklen Kräften stellen, die Hazel Wood beherrschen. Um ihre Mutter zu finden und sich selbst zu befreien, muss sie tiefer in die magische und gefährliche Welt eintauchen, als sie je für möglich gehalten hätte. "Hazel Wood" ist nicht nur ein Ort, sondern auch ein Prüfstein für Alice, der sie zwingt, über Mut, Identität und die Macht der Geschichten, die wir erzählen, neu nachzudenken. Die düstere und fesselnde Welt von "Hazel Wood" entführt in das Erbe dunkler Märchen und ungelöster Familiengeheimnisse, die auf die Protagonistin Alice warten. Eine einzigartige Geschichte, die sich in den urbanen Schatten New Yorks entfaltet, führt auf eine unvergessliche Reise an den Ursprung eines alten Fluchs. Innovatives Fantasy-Debüt, das mit seiner Sogwirkung und den logisch verwobenen düsteren Märchenelementen Leser weltweit begeistert hat. Meisterhaft erzählte Handlung, die die unheimliche und düstere Seite von Märchen aufzeigt und spannende Unterhaltung garantiert. International gefeierter All-Age-Roman, der mit seiner brillanten Verbindung von fantastischer Literatur, Märchen, Horror und Thriller zu einem echten Pageturner wird.

by Andreas H. Schmachtl

The best of all flavours is still Aunt Emily’s frost-hip jelly. Christmas can’t come without that. But what a shock! There are no frost hips left!

Humanities & Social SciencesOctober 2020The European Union and its eastern neighbourhood
Europeanisation and its twenty-first-century contradictions
by Mike Mannin, Paul Flenley
This volume is timely in that it explores key issues which are currently at the forefront of the EU's relations with its eastern neighbours. It considers the impact of a more assertive Russia, the significance of Turkey, the limitations of the Eastern Partnership with Belarus and Moldova, the position of a Ukraine in crisis and pulled between Russia and the EU, security and democracy in the South Caucasus. It looks at the contested nature of European identity in areas such as the Balkans. In addition it looks at ways in which the EU's interests and values can be tested in sectors such as trade and migration. The interplay between values, identity and interests and their effect on the interpretation of europeanisation between the EU and its neighbours is a core theme of the volume.

Geography & the EnvironmentMay 2020Into the woods
An epistemography of climate change
by Meritxell Ramírez-i-Ollé
This book is a detailed exploration of the working practices of a community of scientists exposed in public, and of the making of scientific knowledge about climate change in Scotland. For four years, the author joined these scientists in their sampling expeditions into the Caledonian forests, observed their efforts in the laboratory to produce data from wood samples and followed their discussions of a graph showing the evolution of the Scottish temperature over the past millennium in conferences, workshops and peer-review journals. This epistemography of climate change is of broad social and academic relevance - both for its contextualised treatment of a key contemporary science, and for its original formulation of a methodology for investigating expertise.

March 2022Gone to the Forest!
Through the Undergrowth with a Forestry Expert
by Bastian Kaiser
Germans and their forest! Everyone feels it’s their mission to have their say. Few best-selling authors manage the general sentiment about the forest. Do the facts perhaps sometimes fall by the wayside? Forestry expert Bastian Kaiser clears up myths and misunderstandings and shows the fundamental importance of our forests culturally, economically and for the climate and sustainability debate. On his ramble through the undergrowth, the author gives us an amusing glimpse of his ‘forest-inspired’ life story.
