Teaching, Language & ReferenceDecember 2017Sustainable art communities
Contemporary creativity and policy in the transnational Caribbean
by Leon Wainwright, Kitty Zijlmans
This collection sets out a range of perspectives on the challenges that the Caribbean is facing today, showing how the arts hold a crucial role in forging a more sustainable Caribbean community. It forcefully attests to the view that visual art in particular has a specific contribution to make and that this in turn means striving to foster a sustainable arts community that can contend with an environment of uneven infrastructure, opportunity and public awareness. Spanning the scholarly, artistic and professional fields of arts and heritage, this book compares two of the Caribbean's key linguistic regions - the Anglophone and the Dutch - to address the themes of global-local relations, capital, patronage, morality, contestation, sustainability and knowledge exchange. The result is a milestone of collaboration from diverse global settings of the Caribbean and its diaspora, including Jamaica, the Bahamas, Barbados, Suriname, Curaçao, the Netherlands, United Kingdom, Germany and the United States.

Humanities & Social SciencesFebruary 2013Richard Wainwright, the Liberals and Liberal Democrats
Unfinished business
by Frances Babbage, Matt Cole
Richard Wainwright, the Liberals and Liberal Democrats: Unfinished Business now available in paperback, offers new research on familiar themes involving loyalties of politics, faith and locality. Richard Wainwright was a Liberal MP for seventeen years during the Party's recovery, but his life tells us about much more than this. Wainwright grew up in prosperity, but learned from voluntary work about poverty; he refused to fight in World War Two, but saw war at its cruellest; he joined the Liberal Party when most had given up on it, but gave his fortune to it; lost a by-election but caused the only Labour loss in Harold Wilson's landslide of 1966. He then played a key role in the fall of Jeremy Thorpe, the Lib-Lab Pact and the formation of the SDP-Liberal Alliance and the Liberal Democrats; he represented a unique Yorkshire constituency which reflected his pride and hope for society; and though he gave his life to the battle to be in the Commons, he refused a seat in the Lords. Richard Wainwright's story is central to the story of the Liberal Party and sheds light on the reasons for its survival and the state of its prospects. At the same time this book is a parable of politics for anyone who wants to represent an apparently lost cause, who wants to motivate people who have been neglected, and who wants to follow their convictions at the highest level. ;

October 2017Die Geschichte der gestiefelten Kitty
by Beatrix Potter, Quentin Blake, Sabine Erbrich
»Es war einmal eine ehrliche, wohlerzogene junge schwarze Katze« … Dass Kitty alles andere als ehrlich und wohlerzogen ist, liegt bei einer Erzählung von Beatrix Potter natürlich auf der Hand. Dass sie ihrem Frauchen, einer liebenswürdigen alten Dame, aber derart hinterlistige Streiche spielt, damit konnte niemand rechnen. Anstatt nämlich brav im Gartenhäuschen zu nächtigen, streunt Kitty in Frack, Pelzstiefeln und mit einer Schrotflinte bewaffnet durch die Wälder und begegnet allerlei fiesen Gestalten wie zwei ungehobelten Frettchen und – zu Kittys großem Entsetzen – schließlich auch dem hundsgemeinen Fuchs Mr. Todd. Zum Glück gibt es da noch ihre Freunde, die Kitty aus dem größten Schlamassel wieder heraushelfen … Eine bisher unveröffentlichte Geschichte von Beatrix Potter - erstmals auf Deutsch Mit Illustrationen des britischen Großmeisters Sir Quentin Blake

June 1991Armenische Märchen und Volkserzählungen
Gesammelt und herausgegeben von Leon Surmelian. Aus dem Englischen übertragen von Zora Shaked
by Leon Surmelian, Zora Shaked
Leon Surmelian, der Herausgeber und Sammler der »Armenischen Märchen«, die in der englischsprachigen Erstausgabe mit dem Titel »Äpfel der Unsterblichkeit« erschienen sind, hat die Sammlung von bisher nur mündlich überlieferten Märchen in Gesprächen mit den Bauern aus der Region um den Berg Ararat zusammengestellt. Er wuchs mit diesen Geschichten als armenischer Junge auf. Ob es sich nun um realistische Märchen aus dem Alltag handelt oder um Wundermärchen, sie vermitteln uns stets einen Einblick in die armenische Lebensweise, in die Welt der Bauern, Handwerker und Kaufleute, in die Freuden, Träume und Leiden, und geben den Blick frei auf eine Volkstradition, die geprägt ist von dem Bemühen, ihre kulturelle Identität zu bewahren als Puffer zwischen Asien und Europa.
