        Europe's path to crisis

        Disintegration via monetary union

        by Tom Gallagher

        The EU's single currency crisis and the ensuing human costs have led to Europe's biggest disaster since 1945. This book examines each of its stages and the political and social impact, and reveals the longer-term origins of the crisis, particularly the failure of elites to promote a genuine European partnership grounded in democratic values and a desire to co-exist with a national outlook. The author defends an orderly retreat from the existing model of monetary union, arguing that an alternative is needed in order for countries enduring a prolonged slump to recover, and recommending that EU chiefs should also treat the nation-state as a partner in a common emergency that needs to be overcome. This jargon-free, insightful and long-term analysis of a dangerous crisis is an invaluable book for academics and students alike. It is also an effective tool for policy-makers, citizens and business people who require an accessible and in-depth appraisal of a continuing catastrophe.

        Britain and Africa Under Blair

        In pursuit of the good state

        by Julia Gallagher

        Africa was a key focus of Britain's foreign policy under Tony Blair. Military intervention in Sierra Leone, increases in aid and debt relief, and grand initiatives such as the Commission for Africa established the continent as a place in which Britain could 'do good'. Britain and Africa under Blair: in pursuit of the good state critically explores Britain's fascination with Africa. It argues that, under New Labour, Africa represented an area of policy that appeared to transcend politics. Gradually, it came to embody an ideal state activity around which politicians, officials and the wider public could coalesce, leaving behind more contentious domestic and international issues. Building on the story of Britain and Africa under Blair, the book, now available in paperback, draws wider conclusions about the role of 'good' and idealism in foreign policy. In particular, it discusses how international relationships provide opportunities to create and pursue ideals, and why they are essential for the well-being of political communities. It argues that state actors project the idea of 'good' onto idealised, distant objects, in order to restore a sense of the 'good state'. The book makes a distinctive and original contribution to debates about the role of ethics in international relations, and will be of particular interest to academics, policy-makers and students of international relations, Africa and British foreign policy, as well as anyone interested in ethics in international affairs. ;

        by Patrick Roth

        Starlite Terrace – so heißt ein altes Apartmentgebäude um einen beleuchteten Swimmingpool in Los Angeles. Im Laufe eines Jahres erzählen vier seiner Bewohner – Rex, Moss, Gary und June – ihre aufeinander bezogenen Geschichten. Der Mann an Noahs Fenster, Rex, erzählt scheinbar nur von seinem Vater, der Gary Cooper in »Zwölf Uhr mittags« gedoubelt haben soll, aber er kündigt auch den »Tod des Königs«, das Ende unserer Zeit und des herrschenden Bewußtseins an. – Moss McCloud, der in Angst vor dem nächsten Holocaust lebt, erwartet in Sonnenfinsternis den Besuch seiner Tochter, die vor vierzig Jahren in New York entführt worden war und deren Spur er bis nach Los Angeles folgte. – Gary, ein Schlagzeuger und christlicher Fundamentalist, der den Turtles-Hit »Happy Together« in den sechziger Jahren gespielt haben könnte, sucht in Reiter auf dem Sturm einen Weg aus persönlicher Schuld, sich durch Liebe im Untergang noch zu retten. – Und Die Frau im Sternenmeer, June, Ex-Sekretärin in Hollywood, deren Mann sie zur Zeit ihrer größten Krise mit einem Starlet namens Marilyn Monroe betrog, überlebt das Leben. Neugeboren taucht sie aus ihrer Asche im Pool des Starlite Terrace hervor.In vier Geschichtskaskaden entfaltet Patrick Roth eine Welt, in die das Unerwartete einbricht und auf seltsam eigene Weise die Wirk-lichkeit verwandelt, die eben noch definiert und festzustehen schien. Starlite Terrace erzählt von Wundern im Alltäglichen.

        Biblical women in early modern literary culture, 1550–1700

        1550–1700

        by Edited by Victoria Brownlee and Laura Gallagher

        At once pervasive and marginal, appealing and repellent, exemplary and atypical, the women of the Bible provoke an assortment of readings across early modern literature. Biblical women in early modern literary culture, 1550-1700 draws attention to the complex ways in which biblical women's narratives could be reimagined for a variety of rhetorical and religious purposes. Considering a confessionally diverse range of writers, working across a variety of genres, this volume reveals how women from the Old and New Testaments exhibit an ideological power that frequently exceeds, both in scope and substance, their associated scriptural records. The essays explore how the Bible's women are fluidly negotiated and diversely redeployed to offer (conflicting) comment on issues including female authority, speech and sexuality, and in discussions of doctrine, confessional politics, exploration and grief. As it explores the rich ideological currency of the Bible's women in early modern culture, this volume demonstrates that the Bible's women are persistently difficult to evade. ;

        Die Unermesslichkeit

        by David Vann, Miriam Mandelkow

        Gary und Irene wollen sich ein letztes Mal zusammenraufen, ihre verkorkste Ehe retten, nicht jeder für sich zugrunde gehen. Gary hatte einst einen Traum: Sie lebten in einer einfachen Holzhütte auf Caribou Island, einer kleinen Insel vor Alaska, sie waren glücklich, die Schrecken der Vergangenheit hatten sie hinter sich gelassen. Während eines Unwetters machen sie sich auf den Weg. Schon kurz nach ihrer Ankunft packt Irene die Angst. Sie sind schlecht vorbereitet, um sie herum ragt die Wildnis, gewaltig, unbarmherzig und von undurchdringlicher Schönheit. Als der Winter kommt, treibt die Einsamkeit der Insel das Paar immer weiter auseinander, Beklemmung stürzt um in Wut. Auch ihre Tochter Rhoda, die mit ihrem eigenen Leben, ihrer eigenen Beziehung alle Hände voll zu tun hat, vermag die beiden nicht zu beruhigen. Hingebungsvoll, aber hilflos muss sie vom Festland aus zusehen, wie ihre Eltern sich langsam, aber sicher zerfleischen. 'Die Unermesslichkeit' erzählt eine dunkle, wahrhaftige Geschichte von den Kämpfen zwischen Mann und Frau – ein packendes Meisterwerk über die letzte Gewissheit, dass wir uns selbst nicht entrinnen können.

        May the Loveforce Be With You

        Kali-Ki Reiki: Healing Through Divine Mother & Yogic Wisdom

        by Rajashree Maa

        May the Loveforce Be With introduces a new lineage in energy healing, Kali-Ki ReikiTM, that was revealed to the author, Joni Dittrich, Ph.D. (Rajashree Maa), in a series of mystical encounters with the Divine Mother appearing as the goddess Kali Maa. The book brilliantly tells the stories of these encounters and presents the healing symbols that She revealed, explaining how these symbols can be used both for mind-body healing and spiritual awakening, or what Rajashree Maa calls "wisening." While traditional reiki systems also use symbols to transmit healing energy, the symbols introduced in Kali-Ki Reiki are seen as unique, three-dimensional, active, intelligent forms of light that tap into certain universal energy frequencies that are particularly attuned to the evolving conscious awareness as well as the personal and societal dilemmas of our current times. The fact that these symbols were revealed by Divine Mother to a woman in this era points to a need in today's world to re-establish our connection with the feminine forces of nature and spirit. The healing energy transmitted through these symbols is called Loveforce, which is considered to be the manifesting, creative, and healing power of the Limitless Love that is the Source of all that is.

        Bean Trellis, My Mother-in-law

        by Ma Ruifang

        As the Chinese saying goes, "mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law are natural enemies". However, Bean Trellis, My Mother-in-law depicts the close bond of the author as daughter-in-law with her mother-in-law for more than three decades. Wherein lies the secret?   "仁" Benevolence, "义" righteousness, "礼" courtesy, "智" wisdom, and "信" faith are constant beliefs of the Chinese people, which in the author's eyes are also the most admirable qualities of her mother-in-law, who is illiterate, yet hardworking, kind, and full of the wisdom of simple life. Her kindness and generosity is just the secret to the well-being of the whole family.   Aside from describing the unique in-law relationship, this book also looks at the ups and downs of a big Chinese family from the 1970s to the 2020s. With humorous and documentary storytelling, the author wrote her life stories just like chatting with neighbors under the bean trellis. It is all-encompassing, containing traditional Chinese wisdom about getting along with the world, educating children, and even cooking, which could provide new reading experiences and inspiration for all readers.
