        Sommer im Treibhaus

        Science-fiction-Roman

        by George Turner, Michael Koseler

        George Turners Buch, das im englischen Sprachraum beträchtliche Aufmerksamkeit gefunden hat und mit einem SF-Preis ausgezeichnet wurde, ist ein Bildungsroman. Erzählt wird die Geschichte einiger junger Leute, die in einer zukünftigen Stadt Australiens aufwachsen, in der sich die Massen drängen, in der aber nur die Privilegierten Arbeit und menschenwürdige Unterkünfte haben, und die Städte allmählich in den steigenden Fluten des Ozeans und des Elends versinken – eine Folge des Treibhauseffektes, der zu katastrophalen Klimaveränderungen und als Folge davon zu weltweiten Hungersnöten führt. Der überwiegende Teil der Bevölkerung muß eine von Gewalt geprägte, kümmerliche Existenz fristen. Trotz des düsteren Hintergrunds, der andere Antiutopien anklingen läßt, ist dies keineswegs ein pessimistisches, deprimierendes Buch, sondern eine differenzierte Lektüre, die menschlichen Unternehmungsgeist und Mut feiert, die sich auch durch bedrückende äußere Umstände nicht unterkriegen lassen.

        Bordering intimacy

        Postcolonial governance and the policing of family

        by Joe Turner

        Bordering intimacy explores the interconnected role of borders and dominant forms of family intimacy in the governance of postcolonial states. Combining a historical investigation with postcolonial, decolonial and black feminist theory, the book reveals how the border policies of the British and other European empires have been reinvented for the twenty-first century through appeals to protect and sustain 'family life' - appeals that serve to justify and obfuscate the continued organisation of racialised violence. The book examines the continuity of colonial rule in numerous areas of contemporary government, including family visa regimes, the policing of 'sham marriages', counterterror strategies, deprivation of citizenship, policing tactics and integration policy.

        Vielleicht Nie

        by Carolin Wahl

        Maybe Never Gabriella, Joana and Karla share a flat. To finance their studies, they all work at a catering company. And the three not only realize their professional dreams, but also find the love of their lives. Since her older sister died in a fatal car accident, Joana does everything for a perfect life. She tries to follow her sister’s dream, out of guilt. In her life everything seems to be perfect: nice (but boring) boyfriend, successful biochemistry studies, a job at the catering company, affordable flat-sharing and wonderful friends. But everything changes when Kilian, the brother of her best friend Karla, shows up in Munich again. Kilian doesn’t fit into Joana‘s perfectly planned future at all. But he makes her feel what she has long supressed – the real Joana, who actually wanted to become a make-up artist. Ironically, since she has been wearing a mask herself since the death of her sister.   • Feel-good page turner for New Adults• Original plots in heartfelt narrations, leaving out familiar clichés• Girl power: 3 self-confident protagonists and their strong friendship• Stories about first steps towards independence: Career choices, fear of the future, parental pressure, exploring roots to find your place

        The United States in the Indo-Pacific

        Obama's legacy and the Trump Transition

        by Inderjeet Parmar, Oliver Turner

        This edited volume examines the political, economic and security legacies former US President Barack Obama leaves across Asia and the Pacific, following two terms in office between 2009 and 2017. The aim is to advance our understanding of Obama's style, influence and impact during that time and the regional footprint he leaves behind. Moreover, it is to inform upon the endurance of, and prospects for, that legacy after two years of the Presidency of Donald Trump. The volume uniquely explores US engagement with key Indo-Pacific states including China, India and Japan; multilateral institutions and organisations such the East Asia Summit and ASEAN; and issue areas such as regional security, politics and diplomacy, and the economy. It does so with contributions from high-profile scholars and policy practitioners including Michael Mastanduno, Bruce Cumings, Maryanne Kelton, Robert Sutter, and Sumit Ganguly.

        Cue and Cut

        A practical approach to working in multi-camera studios

        by Roger Singleton-Turner

        Cue & Cut is a 'practical approach to working in television studios' for anyone who might want to work in that medium. It's full of useful information about kit, and how you would use it to create multi-camera content. Written by a multi-camera producer-director with years of drama and teaching experience, it presents both a way of handling studios and a source of information about how things have changed from the days of monochrome to HD tapeless modes - with some thoughts on 3D HDTV The book is firmly based in first-hand teaching experience and experience of producing, direction, floor managing (and so on) and on working with top flight Actors, Writers, Musicians, Designers of all disciplines and Sound and Camera crews, both at the BBC and in ITV. The book will certainly cover multi-camera aspects of Undergraduate, HND and B.Tech courses and should be useful to those on short courses, whether practical or post-graduate.

        »...trotz allem, so wie du bist«

        Wolfgang und Marion Koeppen. Briefe

        by Wolfgang Koeppen, Marion Koeppen, Anja Ebner, Hans-Ulrich Treichel

        Über einen Zeitraum von sechsunddreißig Jahren schrieb Wolfgang Koeppen Briefe an seine um einundzwanzig Jahre jüngere Frau Marion. Es sind berührende Dokumente der Liebe und Fürsorge, aber auch der Angst und Resignation, und sie tauchen Marion Koeppen in ein völlig neues Licht. Denn anders als bisher wahrgenommen, erscheint in diesen erstmals veröffentlichen Briefen nicht die alkoholkranke Ehefrau als Ursache für die anhaltende Schreibkrise, sondern sie werfen die Frage auf: Ist es nicht Marion, der Wolfgang Koeppen Inspiration und Anregung verdankt, und hat sein literarisches Verstummen nicht ganz andere als private Gründe? Koeppens Briefe und die erhaltenen Gegenbriefe der Ehefrau zeigen eine für beide Seiten belastende, aber dennoch unauflösbare Verbundenheit: "denn ich liebe ja dich, du Einzigartige, Sonderbare, unverwechselbare, dich Märchenwesen, trotz allem, so wie du bist". Außerdem dokumentiert dieser Briefband die Entstehung einiger der bekanntesten Texte Wolfgang Koeppens, wie Das Treibhaus, Nach Rußland und anderswohin, Amerikafahrt, Jugend, und er eröffnet einen neuen Blick auf das Verhältnis zwischen Koeppen und seinen Verlegern, sei es nun Henry Goverts, Alfred Andersch oder Siegfried Unseld.

        After 1851

        The material and visual cultures of the Crystal Palace at Sydenham

        by Edited by Kate Nichols, Sarah Victoria Turner

        Echoing Joseph Paxton's question at the close of the Great Exhibition, 'What is to become of the Crystal Palace?', this interdisciplinary essay collection argues that there is considerable potential in studying this unique architectural and art-historical document after 1851, when it was rebuilt in the South London suburb of Sydenham. It brings together research on objects, materials and subjects as diverse as those represented under the glass roof of the Sydenham Palace itself; from the Venus de Milo to Sheffield steel, souvenir 'peep eggs' to war memorials, portrait busts to imperial pageants, tropical plants to cartoons made by artists on the spot, copies of paintings from ancient caves in India to 1950s film. Essays do not simply catalogue and collect this eclectic congregation, but provide new ways for assessing the significance of the Sydenham Crystal Palace for both nineteenth- and twentieth-century studies. The volume will be of particular interest to researchers and students of British cultural history, museum studies, and art history.
