Leopold - Ploegsma - Condor
Leopold was founded in 1923 and evolved into a children's-and young-adult publishing house in the 1950's. Leopoldestablishes a lot of collaborations with museums, different organizations and the government. The first children's book ever published is still in print: Johan Fabricius'Java Ho! The Adventures of Four Boys Amid Fire, Storm, and Shipwreck. Leopold hosts a lot of famous Dutch authors, for example the classic works of Tonke Dragt (The Letter for the King, The Secrets of the Wild Wood).Several popular brands are also published by Leopold, likeFrog(Max Velthuijs) andAlfie the Werewolf(Paul van Loon). The beautiful Leopold picture books by renowned illustrators like Annemarie van Haeringen, Wouter van Reek and Ingrid Godon are taking a flight due to the fantastic teamwork with museums. Not only classic authors and popular brands are a big part of Leopold. A younger generation of authors and illustrators is building a vast oeuvre. Books like Zeb.(Gideon Samson, Joren Joshua) andFright Night(Maren Stoffels) shake up the world of children's literature. Ploegsma has been part of the Dutch publishing scene for well over a hundred years. The publishing house was founded in 1905 by Johannes Ploegsma and has been specialising in children's books since the 1960's: adventurous and humorous fiction and non-fiction books for children of all ages. These include many classic titles, such as the books by Astrid Lindgren (Pippi Longstocking) and Arnold Lobel (Frog and Toad), as well as books by contemporary and very popular authors like Mirjam Oldenhave(Mister Twister), Marjon Hoffman (Flora), Yvon Jaspers (Tess and Tommy), Reggie Naus (The Pirates Next Door), Vivian den Hollander, Janny van der Molen and Caja Cazemier. Many of these authors have been translated. Even though a lot has changed the past hundred years, Ploegsma's love for beautiful books is still going strong.

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2017Emigration from Scotland between the wars
by Marjory Harper
Emigration from Scotland has always been very high. However, emigration from Scotland between the wars surpassed all records; more people emigrated than were born, leading to an overall population decline. Why was it so many people left? Marjory Harper, whose knowledge is grounded in a deep understanding of the local records, maps out the many factors which worked together to cause this massive diaspora. After an opening section where the author sets the Scottish experience within the context of the rest of the British Isles, the book then divides the country geographically, starting with the Highlands, then coastal Scotland, and the urban Lowland highlighting in turn the factors that particularly influenced each of these areas. Harper then discusses the organised religious and political movements that encouraged emigration. By interweaving personal stories with statistical evidence Harper brings to life the reality behind the dramatic historical migration.

September 2008Nicht mit uns
Das Leben von Leonie und Walter Frankenstein
by Klaus Hillenbrand
1941: In Berlin begegnen sich zwei junge Menschen, Leonie Rosner und Walter Frankenstein. Sie verlieben sich und heiraten, 1943 wird ihr Sohn Peter-Uri geboren. Als sie in die Vernichtungslager deportiert werden sollen, tauchen die Frankensteins mit ihrem sechs Wochen alten Baby unter. Entschlossen, sich ihr Leben nicht nehmen zu lassen, gelingt ihnen das nicht Vorstellbare: Leonie, Walter, Peter-Uri und der 1944 geborene zweite Sohn Michael überleben im Untergrund, ohne Papiere, ohne Geld, mit Mut und der Solidarität anderer Menschen. 1945: Nach der Befreiung ist ihre Odyssee nicht beendet. Sie wollen Deutschland verlassen und ein neues Leben in Israel beginnen. Walter Frankenstein wird beim Versuch, nach Palästina einzuwandern, von der britischen Mandatsmacht interniert. Erst nach fast zwei Jahren findet die Familie wieder zusammen. Es folgen die Jahre, in denen die Frankensteins in Israel eine neue Existenz zu begründen versuchen, der Unabhängigkeitskrieg 1948, die Aufbaujahre des jungen jüdischen Staates. Nicht mit uns ist die unglaubliche Geschichte vom Überleben einer jüdischen Familie in Nazi-Deutschland – es ist die beeindruckende Lebensgeschichte zweier Menschen, die der mörderischen Verfolgung trotzten.

by Sonnleitner, Marie
Hanna und Mia verbringen ihre gesamte Freizeit auf Hof Glückstal, wo sie der Besitzerin Vera bei der Pflege der Tiere, vor allem der Haflinger, zur Hand gehen.

Was, wenn sie jetzt nicht mehr reiten können, weil die Feriengäste Vorrang haben? Und als dann die ersten Gäste in ihrem Alter eintreffen, Jan und Leonie, ist Ärger erstmal vorprogrammiert… Doch der Sommer ist lang. Ob ein Wanderritt, Übernachtungen auf dem Heuboden und der Trubel um eine entflohene Stute die Kinder zusammenschweißen können?

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2017The harem, slavery and British imperial culture
Anglo-Muslim relations in the late nineteenth century
by Diane Robinson-Dunn
This book focuses on British efforts to suppress the traffic in female slaves destined for Egyptian harems during the late-nineteenth century. It considers this campaign in relation to gender debates in England, and examines the ways in which the assumptions and dominant imperialist discourses of these abolitionists were challenged by the newly-established Muslim communities in England, as well as by English people who converted to or were sympathetic with Islam. While previous scholars have treated antislavery activity in Egypt first and foremost as an extension of earlier efforts to abolish plantation slavery in the New World, this book considers it in terms of encounters with Islam during a period which it argues marked a new departure in Anglo-Muslim relations. This approach illuminates the role of Islam in the creation of English national identities within the global cultural system of the British Empire. This book would appeal to those with an interest in British imperial history; Islam; gender, feminism, and women's studies; slavery and race; the formation of national identities; global processes; Orientalism; and Middle Eastern studies.
