        Die verzauberte Stunde

        by Meghan Cox Gurdon

        Wir wussten es schon immer: Lesen macht glücklich und schlau. Und in Zeiten ständiger Berieselung und Ablenkung ist ein Buch eine sichere Bastion, in die man sich retten kann, wenn die Welt zu laut wird. Doch es gibt etwas, was noch schöner ist als Lesen: Vorlesen. Was sich in uns alles abspielt, wenn wir uns gemeinsam auf dem Sofa über ein Buch beugen, einer Geschichte lauschen und Bilder gucken, beschreibt die Journalistin und fünffache Mutter Meghan Cox Gurdon. Sie beleuchtet soziale, psychologische und neurologische Aspekte des Vorlesens und zeigt, wie dabei unter anderem die Bindung gestärkt, die Sprachentwicklung gefördert und das Vorstellungsvermögen bereichert wird – und dass es deshalb besonders für Kinder elementar ist. Meghan Cox Gurdon erklärt, warum Vorlesen die Synapsen feuern lässt, wie es das Fernsehen niemals kann. Warum es nicht nur Kinder glücklich macht. Und warum es einfach viel schöner ist, als alleine zu lesen.

        Manchester minds

        A university history of ideas

        by Stuart Jones

        A bicentennial celebration of brilliant thinkers from The University of Manchester's history. The year 2024 marks two centuries since the establishment of The University of Manchester in its earliest form. The first of England's civic universities, Manchester has been home and host to a huge number of influential thinkers and generated world-changing ideas. This book presents a rich account of the remarkable contribution that people associated with The University of Manchester have made to human knowledge. A who's who of Manchester greats, it presents fascinating snapshots of pioneering artists, scholars and scientists, from the poet and activist Eva Gore-Booth to the economist Arthur Lewis, the computer scientist Alan Turing and the physicist Brian Cox.

        Laughing matters

        Understanding film, television and radio comedy

        by Glyn White, John Mundy

        Laughing Matters takes an analytic approach to film, television and radio comedy and provides an accessible overview of its forms and contexts. The introduction explains the value of studying comedy, concisely outlines the approach taken and summarises the relevant theories. The subsequent chapters are divided into two parts. The first part examines the specific forms comedy has taken as a constant and key element in film and broadcast comedy from their origins to the present. The second part shows how the genre gravitates towards contentious issues in British and American culture as it finds humour in the boundaries of class, gender, sexuality, race and logic. The authors cover silent cinema comedy including Chaplin, Lloyd and Keaton, sound film comedies including the Marx Brothers and Laurel and Hardy, Romantic film comedy, radio, television situation and sketch comedy, comedy and genre (including parody and spoof), animations from cartoons to CGI, issues of gender and sexuality from drag comedy to queer reading, issues of taste and humour from Carry On to contemporary 'gross-out' , and issues of race and ethnicity including a case study of African-American screen comedy. Numerous opportunities for following up are highlighted and advice on further reading, writing academically about comedy and an extensive bibliography add to the value of this textbook. ;

        The limits of performance in the French Romantic theatre

        by Susan McCready, Mike Thompson

        This volume analyses major French plays of the 1830s, focusing on their theatricality, and on the ways in which they expose the workings of the theatre rather than conceal them. Through an examination of performance within these plays, the study posits that the stage is a privileged site of demonstration, a literal 'proving ground' that lends a physical reality to abstract values announced in the text and shared or questioned by the audience. Negotiating between the literary study of drama and performance theory, this work breaks new ground in nineteenth-century theatre scholarship while proposing a fresh direction in the study of text and performance. The limits of performance 'challenges conventional wisdom', offering 'a novel take on the mal du siècle, that thematic hardy perennial of French Romanticism and the nineteenth century in general', combined with 'eminently readable and, therefore, compelling' analysis of plays - 'a thought-provoking addition to work in the field' (Glyn Hambrook, Modern and Contemporary France, November 2008). ;

        A farewell to arms?

        Beyond the Good Friday agreement

        by Michael Cox, Adrian Guelke, Fiona Stephen

        The signing of the Good Friday Agreement in 1998 appeared to open up a new phase in the history of Northern Ireland and indeed world politics generally. Hailed from the outset as a model that would inspire peace processes in other countries, it sought through careful negotiation and delicate compromise to bring to a conclusion a conflict that had cost over 3600 lives, damaged Britain's international position and at times come very close to undermining relations between the UK and Ireland. While the peace has held it is obvious that serious divisions continue to make a final settlement of the Northern Irish question very difficult. This comprehensive and original study is the first to explain in detail how the Good Friday Agreement ran into trouble, why we are still some way from a final settlement, but why a return to war is most unlikely - even in an age where global terror now threatens world order more seriously than at any time in the past. This new edition of an established, authoritative text will be essential reading for students, researchers and academics of Irish politics, conflict and peace studies, and international relations. ;
