March 2006Allen Gewalten zum Trutz sich erhalten
Gedichte und Bilder
by Johann Wolfgang Goethe, Hans-Joachim Simm
In Liedern auf die Liebe und die Freundschaft, in Hymnen auf das Unendliche und in Versen voller Einsicht und Weisheit hat Goethe das Leben bedichtet und besungen. Jede Gelegenheit konnte Anlaß sein für ein Gedicht, in freien Rhythmen oder in strengen Strophen, in Sonetten oder Epigrammen – Dichtung als Spiegel des Lebens und als Fluchtraum zugleich. Goethes Haltung zur Welt zeigen die in diesem Band versammelten Gedichte, ebenso wie seine Zeichnungen und Aquarelle. Im entschiedenen Eintreten für die Wahrheit und in ihrem Appell zur Selbstbestimmung sind sie heute noch genauso aktuell wie 1777, als die Verse für das Singspiel Lila entstanden: »Allen Gewalten / Zum Trutz sich erhalten, / Nimmer sich beugen, / Kräftig sich zeigen, / Rufet die Arme / Der Götter herbei!«

Business, Economics & LawNovember 2019Dark Tourism and Pilgrimage
by Daniel H Olsen, Maximiliano E Korstanje
In recent years there has been a growth in both the practice and research of dark tourism; the phenomenon of visiting sites of tragedy or disaster. Expanding on this trend, this book examines dark tourism through the new lens of pilgrimage. It focuses on dark tourism sites as pilgrimage destinations, dark tourists as pilgrims, and pilgrimage as a form of dark tourism. Taking a broad definition of pilgrimage so as to consider aspects of both religious and non-religious travel that might be considered pilgrimage-like, it covers theories and histories of dark tourism and pilgrimage, pilgrimage to dark tourism sites, and experience design. A key resource for researchers and students of heritage, tourism and pilgrimage, this book will also be of great interest to those studying anthropology, religious studies and related social science subjects.

Humanities & Social Sciences8 BILLION REASONS POPULATION MATTERS
The Defining Issue of the 21st Century
by Valorie M. Allen
The world is about to hit a population level of EIGHT BILLION people on one small planet. Through Allen’s analysis of the situation, the realization sets in that the fights by environmental and world aid groups are all for naught as every gain is soon overwhelmed by the pressures of more growth. Our planet's greatest threat is of too many people depleting the Earth's resources and contributing to climate change. Allen offers a thorough analysis of our environmental, social, political, and economic crises; then offers a treasure trove of solutions and success stories that we can all take to heart.

Humanities & Social SciencesDecember 2022Class, work and whiteness
Race and settler colonialism in Southern Rhodesia, 1919–79
by Nicola Ginsburgh
This book offers the first comprehensive history of white workers from the end of the First World War to Zimbabwean independence in 1980. It reveals how white worker identity was constituted, examines the white labouring class as an ethnically and nationally heterogeneous formation comprised of both men and women, and emphasises the active participation of white workers in the ongoing and contested production of race. White wage labourers' experiences, both as exploited workers and as part of the privileged white minority, offer insight into how race and class co-produced one another and how boundaries fundamental to settler colonialism were regulated and policed. Based on original research conducted in Zimbabwe, South Africa and the UK, this book offers a unique theoretical synthesis of work on gender, whiteness studies, labour histories, settler colonialism, Marxism, emotions and the New African Economic History.

Humanities & Social SciencesMay 2024Off white
Central and Eastern Europe and the global history of race
by Catherine Baker, Bogdan C. Iacob, Anikó Imre, James Mark
This volume foregrounds racial difference as a key to an alternative history of the Central and Eastern European region, which revolves around the role of whiteness as the unacknowledged foundation of semi-peripheral nation-states and national identities, and of the region's current status as a global stronghold of unapologetic white, Christian nationalisms. Contributions address the pivotal role of whiteness in international diplomacy, geographical exploration, media cultures, music, intellectual discourses, academic theories, everyday language and banal nationalism's many avenues of expressions. The book offers new paradigms for understanding the relationships among racial capitalism, populism, economic peripherality and race.

Nineteenth-century stained glass and the international exhibitions, 1851–1900

It recognises those who made and exhibited stained glass and demonstrates the long-lasting impact of the classification and modes of display at these events. A number of exhibits are illustrated in colour and are analysed in relation to stylistic developments, techniques and material innovations, as well as the broader iconographies of nation and empire in the nineteenth century.

Amazing Grace
The Story of Grace O'Malley the Notorious Pirate Woman
by Hugo N. Gerstl
A WOMAN THAT HATH IMPUDENTLY PASSED THE PART OF WOMANHOOD AND BEEN A GREAT SPOILER AND CHIEF COMMANDER AND DIRECTOR OF THIEVES AND MURDERERS AT SEA … SHE HATH BEEN THE MOTHER OF ALL REBELLIONS FOR FORTY YEARS … , the “Pirate Queen of Connaught,” was thus vilified by those English authorities who tried to bring stubborn, recalcitrant Ireland to its knees in the Sixteenth Century. Twice married, twice widowed, a passionate lover, gambler, pirate, sea captain, politician, mother of heroes, and, above all, a symbol of the indomitable human spirit and Irish independence. She was a force to be reckoned with by anyone – man, woman, even the sovereign of England, who tried to cross her path. AMAZING GRACE swaggered boldly across the world stage for more than seventy years. These were turbulent times of Henry VIII and “Bloody Mary” Tudor, and Queen Elizabeth – the age of discovery when the remnants of the Middle Ages were dying – except in the provinces of Ireland – and the Renaissance was in full flower – the days of the “discovery” of America by Spaniards, the exploration of Africa and India by Portugal, the launching of the Invincible Armada, and the great schism of two contending forces of western Christianity. Armed with courage and daring to match that of any man, AMAZING GRACE lived a life “larger than legend.” More sinner than saint, she is remembered throughout western Ireland more than four hundred years after her death, celebrated in story and song. In a time when women were very much “second class citizens,” GRACE O’MALLEY did not need a women’s rights organization – she was her own force, and if you tried to cross her, you’d best beware. Sir Henry Sidney, the English Lord Deputy of Ireland, said it best: “There came to me a most feminine sea captain called Grace O’Malley, with three galleys and 200 fighting men. She brought a husband with her, and she was, by sea and by land, well more than Mrs. Mate with him. This was a notorious woman in all the coasts of Ireland.” , nationally famous American trial lawyer, world traveler, whose books have been translated into Portuguese, Czech, Turkish, Hebrew, and German, and author of international bestsellers , , , and , lives in Carmel, California with his wife Lorraine, a writer and teacher. Together they have raised five grown children. Published by Pangæa Publishing Group, 402 Pages, 2019. 23 cm x 15 cm

May 1984Der Vize-Konsul
Roman
by Marguerite Duras, Walter Maria Guggenheimer
»Marguerite Duras wurde 1914 in Saigon geboren und übersiedelte erst 1932 zum Studium nach Frankreich. Ihre Jugend wurde von jener Sphäre geprägt, die nun, nach Kalkutta transportiert, im Vize-Konsul wieder auftaucht: einer Enklave von Europäern inmitten eines Landes, in dem Wirren und Elend herrschen. Sie leben in der fast insularischen Abgeschlossenheit ihrer luxuriösen Villen und Parks, sie spielen Tennis, sie geben ihre Empfänge, deren Essensreste draußen an die Hungernden verteilt werden, sie sind mit ihrer Karriere, ihren Liebesgeschichten, ihren inneren Konflikten beschäftigt, sie spielen Schubert. Aber niemand scheint froh. Über allen lastet ›dieses Indien‹, dessen mörderisches naß-heißes Klima kaum durch die vielen Ventilatoren ferngehalten wird, dessen Elend bis an die Parks ihrer Villen dringt. Draußen ist die Hölle, aber drinnen, in der Enklave, die den Hungernden und Verarmten als ein fernes Paradies erscheint, schwelt unter der Oberfläche eine sonderbare Bedrückung und Melancholie. Davon handelt dieser Roman. Die Duras beherrscht – man weiß es – diese nuancierte Kunst der Schilderung, die sagt, ohne auszusprechen, die beschreibt, ohne zu sagen.« Marianne Kesting, Die Zeit

Humanities & Social SciencesOctober 2021Mary and Philip
The marriage of Tudor England and Habsburg Spain
by Alexander Samson
Mary I, eldest daughter of Henry VIII, was Queen of England from 1553 until her death in 1558. For much of this time she ruled alongside her husband, King Philip II of Spain, forming a co-monarchy that put England at the heart of early modern Europe. In this book, Alexander Samson presents a bold reassessment of Mary and Philip's reign, rescuing them from the neglect they have suffered at the hands of generations of historians. The co-monarchy of Mary I and Philip II put England at the heart of early modern Europe. This positive reassessment of their joint reign counters a series of parochial, misogynist and anti-Catholic assumptions, correcting the many myths that have grown up around the marriage and explaining the reasons for its persistent marginalisation in the historiography of sixteenth-century England. Using new archival discoveries and original sources, the book argues for Mary as a great Catholic queen, while fleshing out Philip's important contributions as king of England.
