        Crowns and colonies

        European monarchies and overseas empires

        by Robert Aldrich, Cindy McCreery

        Queen Victoria, who also bore the title of Empress of India, had a real and abiding interest in the British Empire, but other European monarchs also ruled over possessions 'beyond the seas'. This collection of original essays explores the connections between monarchy and colonialism, from the old regime empires down to the Commonwealth of today. With case studies drawn from Britain, France, the Netherlands, Germany and Italy, the chapters analyse constitutional questions about the role of the crown in overseas empires, the pomp and pageantry of the monarchy as it transferred to the colonies, and the fate of indigenous sovereigns under European colonial control. Crowns and colonies, with chapters on North America, Asia, Africa and Australasia, provides new perspectives on colonial history, the governance of empire, and the transnational history of monarchies in modern Europe.

        Royal Horses (1). Crown Heart

        by Jana Hoch

        His world is that of the Royals – full of scandals and secrets. Falling in love with him was never part of her plan. Their paths cross at the royal stud farm... Greta just wants to get away: away from her school and away from the friends who have so endlessly disappointed her. The holiday job at the royal stud farm comes at just the right time for her. She might not have any interest in horses – and even less in princes and princesses – but the royal family’s palace still makes her heart beat faster. But on the very first day she quarrels with Edward, the horse trainer. He guesses that she is hiding a secret and wants to do whatever it takes to bring it out in the open. When, shortly afterwards, Prince Tristan appears at the stud farm, Greta’s life is completely turned upside down. She notices all too late that she is in the process of falling in love – and specifically with the boy that she actually wants to stay away from. Humorous and romantic, glamorous and exciting: ‘Royal Horses’ is the perfect love story for all readers from 12 to 99 years-old. Greta and Edward‘s story continues! Volume 2, ‘Crown Dream’ will be out in autumn 2020.

        Death and the crown

        Ritual and politics in France before the Revolution

        by Anne Byrne

        Looking at royal ritual in pre-revolutionary France, Death and the crown examines the deathbed and funeral of Louis XV in 1774, the lit de justice of November 1774, and the coronation of Louis XVI, including the ceremony of the royal healing touch for scrofula. It reviews the state of the field in ritual studies and appraises the status of the monarchy in the 1770s, including the recall of the parlements and the many ways people engaged with royal ritual. It answers questions such as whether Louis XV died in fear of damnation, why Marie Antoinette was not crowned in 1775 and why Louis XVI's coronation was not held in Paris. This lively, accessible text is a useful tool for under- and post-graduate teaching which will also be of interest to specialists on this under-researched period.

        CAP and the Regions

        Territorial Impact of Common Agricultural Policy

        by Edited by Mark Shucksmith, Kenneth Thomson, Deborah Roberts

        This book assesses the regional territorial impact of the EU's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and Rural Development Policy (RDP), asking the question of how far these are compatible with objectives of territorial cohesion across the enlarged European Union. It considers both the incidence of CAP expenditure and producer subsidy equivalents across NUTS3 regions, and the impact of current CAP reforms, through detailed statistical analysis and case studies. It also assesses how far the CAP is consistent with the goals of European Union policy, as set out in the European Spatial Development Perspective. It concludes with proposals for policy reform and attempts to highlight good practice in rural development.

        CAP Regimes and the European Countryside

        by Edited by Floor Brouwer, Philip Lowe

        This book reviews assessments on the environmental effects of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), and assesses the contribution of agricultural policy to environmental quality in the EU. It focuses on the role of agricultural policy in reducing harmful effects and/or creating benefits to the physical environment, landscape and nature. Emphasis is given to comparative studies, rather than any limited to one country. The commodity regimes of the CAP – e.g. the beef, wine and olive oil regimes – are considered in detail.

        Public information films

        British government film units, 1928–52

        by Alan Harding

        In the years after the First World War the British government had to adapt its communication policy to connect with the new mass electorate. This book examines the government's own Film Units and their slow development of the Public Information Film. By reviewing the entire film catalogue produced by the Empire Marketing Board, the General Post Office and Crown Film Units, particular themes are identified which not only reflect the demands of the Units' sponsors but also the anxieties and concerns of the 1930s and 1940s. The impact of the films is explored through the contemporary reaction of the audiences to them. By the time the Crown Film Unit was closed in 1952 a style of Public Information Film had been developed and continued into the 1970s.

        Goethe und Sylvie

        Briefe und Gedichte

        by Paul Raabe

        Ab 1776 war Goethe häufig zu Gast bei August Friedrich Carl von Ziegesar, Minister in Gothaischen Diensten und Berater von Herzog Carl August von Sachsen-Weimar. 1802 lernt er in Jena auch dessen jüngste Tochter Sylvie (1785 – 1855) kennen. In der Folge tauschen die beiden Briefe aus, Goethe wird später Pate ihres ersten Kindes. Die Ottilie aus seinem Roman Die Wahlverwandtschaften soll Sylvie nachgebildet sein. »Deutschlands bekanntester Bibliothekar«, Paul Raabe, hat alle Dokumente dieser wenig bekannten Freundschaft gesammelt und mit einem Essay versehen. Die Texte, erstmals 1961 erschienen, macht die Insel-Bücherei nun endlich wieder zugänglich.

        European Environment and CAP Reform

        Policies and Prospects for Conservation

        by Edited by Martin Whitby

        As part of the reform of its Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), in 1992 the European Community adopted a regulation of Accompanying Measures aimed at supporting farmers in conserving the European environment. This book explores the implementation of the Regulation throughout Europe and examines its genesis, delivery and prospects. Individual chapters explore the politics of the regulation and the ecological resources on which it has to work. Eight further chapters examine its implementation in individual member states, highlighting the remarkable diversity both of the ecosystems being conserved and the ways in which the regulation is being implemented. The volume concludes with two speculative chapters, one on the extent and measurement of potential economic benefits from these measures and another offering some broad conclusions on the potential impact of the regulation and its possible evolution. The volume is multidisciplinary, including political scientists, economists, sociologists, geographers and civil servants amongst its authors. The area covered by its country chapters amounts to more than eighty per cent of the European Union of fifteen states.

        Die Rübenkönigin

        Roman

        by Louise Erdrich, Helga Pfetsch

        Die siebzehnjährige Dot ist ein wildes, zorniges, rücksichtsloses Mädchen. Bei Mitschülern und Lehrern ist sie verhaßt und gefürchtet. Zu Hause buhlen Mary, die Tante, Karl, der Vater, Celestine, die Mutter, und Wallace Pfef, der Pate, vergeblich um ihre Liebe – schamlos und unerschrocken spielt Dot sie gegeneinander aus. Da meint Wallace, eine gute Idee zu haben: Alles setzt er in Bewegung, um seine heißgeliebte Nichte beim Sommerfest zur Rübenkönigin zu küren. Doch statt Dankbarkeit zu zeigen, streckt Dot den Patenonkel mit drei Softbällen nieder, entert einen Doppeldecker und fliegt davon – wie einst ihre Großmutter Adelaide Adare, die vierzig Jahre zuvor auf einem Jahrmarkt in einem Luftschiff entschwand und ihre Kinder Mary und Karl zu Waisen machte, lange bevor in Argus, Dakota, Rüben angebaut wurden und das Leben in der Stadt sich von Grund auf veränderte.

        Selbstzerstörung

        Psychoanalyse des Selbstmords. Übersetzt von Hilde Weller

        by Karl Menninger, Hilde Weller, Hilde Weller

        In den letzten Jahren hat das Interesse an der wissenschaftlichen Erforschung des Selbstmordes hierzulande deutlich zugenommen – und ganz gewiß beschränkt sich solches Interesse nicht bloß auf die Wissenschaft. Die große soziologische Untersuchung Emile Durkheims (deutsch 1974), der brillant-polemische Essay Jean Amérys und Karl Menningers »Selbstzerstörung«, so unterschiedlich von Ansatz und Intention her diese Bücher sonst sein mögen, sind ein Index für die Sensibilität, mit welcher das Problem des Selbstmords als gesellschaftliche Provokation, als irritierende Herausforderung an den »common sense« wahrgenommen wird. Menninger arbeitet mit einem Konzept, das es erlaubt, Selbstmordhandlungen unter drei »typischen« Aspekten zu analysieren: unter dem Aspekt chronischer, lokaler und organischer Selbstzerstörung. Für Menninger resultieren selbstzerstörerische Handlungen aus jeweils unterschiedlichen Motiven, nämlich aus dem Wunsch zu töten, dem Wunsch, getötet zu werden, und dem Wunsch zu sterben. Freuds späte Hypothese von der Existenz eines Todestriebs hat bei dieser Konzeptualisierung des Selbstmords Pate gestanden.
