        Jeder Tag gehört dem Dieb

        Roman

        by Teju Cole, Christine Richter-Nilsson

        Ein junger New Yorker mit nigerianischen Wurzeln kehrt nach Nigeria zurück. Er wohnt in Lagos bei Verwandten, trifft alte Freunde, durchstreift die Straßen der Stadt seiner Kindheit. Doch die ist ein Moloch: jeder Beamte korrupt, jede Begegnung ein Wagnis, jede Nacht ein vergeblicher Versuch, Ruhe zu finden. Und jeder Tag ein Spiegel, in dem er sich selbst immer klarer sieht. Er erlebt die Stadt wie eine große, schrecklich enttäuschende Liebe. Soll er bleiben oder fliehen? »Ein phantastisches Buch … Memoir, Reportage, Selbstbetrachtung, Literaturgeschichte. Ein Bericht auch über die Schule der Gewalt, über die Ursprünge der Massenmorde von Boko Haram im Norden Nigerias.« Volker Weidermann, FAS »Ein lebenspralles Buch von der Verzweiflung eines Nigerianers über seine Heimat, die ihn zugleich anzieht und abstösst.« Regula Freuler, NZZ »Mühelos erzählt und voll sinnlicher, bisweilen magischer und aufwühlender Bilder … große Literatur.« Jan Wilm, FAZ

        Planetary Health

        Human Health in an Era of Global Environmental Change

        by Jennifer Cole

        Planetary Health - the idea that human health and the health of the environment are inextricably linked - encourages the preservation and sustainability of natural systems for the benefit of human health. Drawing from disciplines such as public health, environmental science, evolutionary anthropology, welfare economics, geography, policy and organizational theory, it addresses the challenges of the modern world, where human health and well-being is threatened by increasing pollution and climate change. A comprehensive publication covering key concepts in this emerging field, Planetary Health reviews ideas and approaches to the subject such as natural capital, ecological resilience, evolutionary biology, One Earth and transhumanism. It also sets out through case study chapters the main links between human health and environmental change, covering: - Climate change, land use and waterborne infectious diseases. - Sanitation, clean energy and fertilizer use. - Trees, well-being and urban greening. - Livestock, antibiotics and greenhouse gas emissions. Providing an extensive overview of key theories and literature for academics and practitioners who are new to the field, this engaging and informative read also offers an important resource for students of a diverse range of subjects, including environmental sciences, animal sciences, geography and health.

        Emmanuel Macron and the two years that changed France

        by Alistair Cole

        This book looks at the period 2015-18 in French politics, a turbulent time that witnessed the apparent collapse of the old party system, the taming of populist and left-wing challenges to the Republic and the emergence of a new political order centred on President Emmanuel Macron. The election of Macron was greeted with relief in European chancelleries and appeared to give a new impetus to European integration, even accomplishing the feat of making France attractive after a long period of French bashing and reflexive decline. But what is the real significance of the Macron presidency? Is it as transformative as it appears? Emmanuel Macron and the two years that changed France provides a balanced answer to this pressing question. It is written to appeal to a general readership with an interest in French and European politics, as well as to students and scholars of French politics.
