        Woodwalkers & Friends (1). Fantastic Feline Friends

        by Katja Brandis/Claudia Carls

        You have never seen the Woodwalkers like this before: find out about the lives of the puma boy Carag and his shapeshifting friends outside the school walls. The young puma shapeshifter Carag is really looking forward to the school holidays. He’s going to visit the family of his girlfriend Tikaani for the first time, so that they can celebrate her birthday together. But before they can head for the far north, they are overtaken by events. First, two self-willed companions join them, and then Carag receives a call for help from his own puma family. A hostile wolf pack has taken over their old den close to Clearwater High. There is something not quite right about these wolves. As the situation becomes increasingly fiery, Carag and Tikaani know they can rely on help from Holly the chipmunk. But will the three of them be able to save the day?

        A Typical Girl

        Ein Memoir

        by Viv Albertine, Conny Lösch

        London, Mitte der Siebziger. Die Popkultur wird neu erfunden, in der revolutionären Ursuppe des Punk scheint alles möglich. Aber gilt das auch für Frauen? Gibt es außer Groupie, Elfe oder Rockröhre noch andere Rollen? Besteht vielleicht zum ersten Mal die Chance, mit allen Typical-Girl-Klischees aufzuräumen, statt selber eins zu werden? Viv Albertine wurde zum Riot Girl, lange bevor es diesen Ausdruck gab. Bei den legendären Flowers of Romance kreierte sie neben Sid Vicious (später Sex Pistols) und Keith Levene (später PIL) ihren individuellen Gitarrensound. Um dann mit den Slits, der ersten autonomen Frauenpunkband, die Türen aufzustoßen, durch die später Madonna oder Lady Gaga eigene Wege gehen konnten. Wie die Punkszene entstand, wie sie aus weiblicher Sicht erlebt und feministisch neu erfunden wurde und welche Rückschläge es dabei gab – all das wurde noch nie so plastisch und zugleich so reflektiert, so abgeklärt und zugleich so amüsant geschildert wie von Viv Albertine in ihrem umwerfenden Memoir. Shoes off!

        The Papal Reform of the Eleventh Century

        Lives of Pope Leo IX and Pope Gregory VII

        by I. Robinson

        The eleventh-century papal reform transformed western European Church and society and permanently altered the relations of Church and State in the west. The reform was inaugurated by Pope Leo IX (1048-54) and given a controversial change of direction by Pope Gregory VII (1073-85). This book contains the earliest biographies of both popes, presented here for the first time in English translation with detailed commentaries. The biographers of Leo IX were inspired by his universally acknowledged sanctity, whereas the biographers of Gregory VII wrote to defend his reputation against the hostility generated by his reforming methods and his conflict with King Henry IV. Also included is a translation of Book to a Friend, written by Bishop Bonizo of Sutri soon after the death of Gregory VII, as well as an extract from the violently anti-Gregorian polemic of Bishop Benzo of Alba (1085) and the short biography of Leo IX composed in the papal curia in the 1090s by Bishop Bruno of Segni. These fascinating narrative sources bear witness to the startling impact of the papal reform and of the 'Investiture Contest', the conflict of empire and papacy that was one of its consequences. An essential collection of translated texts for students of medieval history.

        THE GERMAN GIRL

        by Ulrike Sterblich

        New York City in the sixties: the city that never sleeps, because they have plenty of pills for that. And in between, a girl from West Berlin. Mona is young, pretty and recently moved to New York to make a career for herself. The city that never sleeps hasn't been waiting for her. Although she does quickly meet two men: East Coast aristocrat Sidney, and dark-haired bohemian Adam. Torn between the two, Mona drifts through a world that is supplied with "vitamin injections" by Max Jacobson, aka Dr Feelgood, who fled from the Nazis in Berlin. And so a second thread weaves its way into the story: star photographer Mark Shaw, one of Dr Feelgood’s patients, is found dead in his apartment one day. A coroner starts investigating. There is a lot to be examined, and it involves the rich and beautiful and powerful all the way to the White House …
