        The rise and fall of world orders

        by Torbjorn Knutsen

        Drawing in lessons from 400 years of Great-Power politics, this volume challenges both the "declinist" arguments and the overstretched hypothesis of Paul Kennedy to develop an alternative approach to the debate on the rise and fall of the Great Powers. The first half of the book compares the Spanish, Dutch and the First and Second British world orders. It identifies their common features in order to find the most salient causes for their rise as world powers, and the most probable reasons for their decline. The second half of the book addresses the American world order in the 20th century, from Pax Americana to the End of US Hegemony. The author sees the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the resurgence of the US as evidence of the role played by normative dimensions, commonly underestimated in International Relations analysis. Theoretically challenging, Knutsen's volume provides a fresh approach to debates in international relations aimed at both students and scholars.

        Imperialism and the natural world

        by John M. MacKenzie

        Imperial power, both formal and informal, and research in the natural sciences were closely dependent in the nineteenth century. This book examines a portion of the mass-produced juvenile literature, focusing on the cluster of ideas connected with Britain's role in the maintenance of order and the spread of civilization. It discusses the political economy of Western ecological systems, and the consequences of their extension to the colonial periphery, particularly in forms of forest conservation. Progress and consumerism were major constituents of the consensus that helped stabilise the late Victorian society, but consumerism only works if it can deliver the goods. From 1842 onwards, almost all major episodes of coordinated popular resistance to colonial rule in India were preceded by phases of vigorous resistance to colonial forest control. By the late 1840s, a limited number of professional positions were available for geologists in British imperial service, but imperial geology had a longer pedigree. Modern imperialism or 'municipal imperialism' offers a broader framework for understanding the origins, long duration and persistent support for overseas expansion which transcended the rise and fall of cabinets or international realignments in the 1800s. Although medical scientists began to discern and control the microbiological causes of tropical ills after the mid-nineteenth century, the claims for climatic causation did not undergo a corresponding decline. Arthur Pearson's Pearson's Magazine was patriotic, militaristic and devoted to royalty. The book explores how science emerged as an important feature of the development policies of the Colonial Office (CO) of the colonial empire.

        Rebel angels

        Space and sovereignty in Anglo-Saxon England

        by Jill Fitzgerald

        Over six hundred years before John Milton's Paradise Lost, Anglo-Saxon authors told their own version of the fall of the angels. This book brings together various cultural moments, literary genres and relevant comparanda to recover that version, from the legal and social world to the world of popular spiritual ritual and belief. The story of the fall of the angels in Anglo-Saxon England is the story of a successfully transmitted exegetical teaching turned rich literary tradition. It can be traced through a range of genres - sermons, saints' lives, royal charters, riddles, devotional and biblical poetry - each one offering a distinct window into the ancient myth's place within the Anglo-Saxon literary and cultural imagination.

        Mr. Pinguin (2) und die Burg der dunklen Schatten

        by Smith, Alex T.

        Mit Charme und Fischstäbchen-Sandwich ins Abenteuer In Schneedorf-auf-dem-Gipfel sind alle Haustiere verschwunden! Auch wenn es in den Bergen leider keine Fischstäbchen gibt, beschließt Mister Pinguin, den Dorfbewohnern zu helfen. Da funkeln in der dunklen Burg am Berggipfel gruselige Lichter auf, und es riecht nach düsteren Geheimnissen … Dieses Abenteuer ist schon auf den ersten Blick ein absoluter Hingucker! Zweifarbig in Pinguinfarben illustriert (in Schwarz und Orange), ergänzen sich die Bilder und der Text einfach perfekt. In seinem zweiten Fall muss es Mister Pinguin, der treuherzige Pinguin mit dem großen Herzen und der Spürnase mit Schnee und Eis, Schlangen und Geheimagenten aufnehmen. Mitten im Schnee und gestärkt mit reichlich Kakao und Zimtschnecken hecken der liebenswürdige Pinguin-Detektiv und sein bester Freund Colin, die Kung-Fu-kämpfende Spinne, einen abenteuerlichen Plan aus. Was die beiden tierischen Ermittler jedoch nicht ahnen: Die unheimlichen und düsteren Rätsel in Schneedorf reichen für mindestens hundert Abenteuer! Liebenswert, witzig und ein bisschen bis ziemlich kurios: Dies ist Band 2 der außergewöhnlich gestalteten Reihe rund um selbsternannten Detektiv und Abenteurer Mister Pinguin. Mit aufwändigem Layout ist „Mister Pinguin und die Burg der dunklen Schatten“ nicht nur für alle Abenteurer und Leser ab 8 Jahren geeignet, sondern auch zum Vorlesen bereits ab 7 Jahren. Zur Reihe: Mister Pinguin ist ein Pinguin. Er ist schwarz-weiß, hat einen kleinen Schnabel und zwei flossige Flügel. Wenn er vorwärtswatschelt, dann wackelt sein Hinterteil genauso hin und her, wie das Hinterteil eines Pinguins eben wackelt. Aber etwas an Mister Pinguin ist ziemlich ungewöhnlich. Er ist nämlich nicht einfach NUR ein Pinguin. Er ist ein Abenteurer! Das kann man an seinem abenteuerlichen Hut, der riesigen Lupe und der ausgebeulten Umhängetasche erkennen, in der er ein leckeres Fischstäbchen-Sandwich als Proviant mit sich herumträgt. Mister Pinguins bester Freund ist diese Spinne. Ihr Name ist Colin. Colin ist richtig gut in Kung Fu, also nehmt euch in Acht! KAWUMM! Über Band 1, Mr. Pinguin und der verlorene Schatz: „Grandios. … Der Text ist in großer Schrift luftig gesetzt, sodass Kinder, die am Leseanfang stehen am Ende mit viel Spaß ein ganzes dickes Buch allein geschafft haben - toll!“ BÜCHERmagazin „‘Mr. Pinguin und der verlorene Schatz‘ ist eine rasante, sehr lustige Geschichte." Marion Klötzer, NZZ „Ein kriminalistisches Abenteuer mit Herz, Verstand und Fischstäbchensandwich.“ Gießener Allgemeine Zeitung, Maren Bonacker „Das Spiel mit der Sprache und macht Leseanfängern großes Vergnügen, das durch die skurrilen Zeichnungen noch verstärkt wird." Süddeutsche Zeitung, Roswitha Budeus-Budde „Herrlich skurrile Charaktere, eine witzige Story und humorvoll im Retrostil bebildert: Dieses Buch ist ein echter Lesetipp!" Westfälische Nachrichten "Das Buch ist sehr lustig. Außerdem ist es hübsch gestaltet. Es sind richtig viele lustige Bilder drin." Emma, 9 Jahre, im Weser Kurier
