        The matter of miracles

        Neapolitan baroque architecture and sanctity

        by Series edited by Amelia Jones, Helen Hills, Marsha Meskimmon

        This book investigates baroque architecture through the lens of San Gennaro's miraculously liquefying blood in Naples. This vantage point allows a bracing and thoroughly original rethink of the power of baroque relics and reliquaries. It shows how a focus on miracles produces original interpretations of architecture, sanctity and place which will engage architectural historians everywhere. The matter of the baroque miracle extends into a rigorous engagement with natural history, telluric philosophy, new materialism, theory and philosophy. The study will transform our understanding of baroque art and architecture, sanctity and Naples. Bristling with new archival materials and historical insights, this study lifts the baroque from its previous marginalisation to engage fiercely with materiality and potentiality and thus unleash baroque art and architecture as productive and transformational.

        by Tanja Voosen/ Viktoria Gavrilenko

        The most magical adventure since the discovery of chocolate! Do you believe in magic and miracles? Everyone in the little town of Belony takes magic and miracles for granted – everyone except Elina, who thinks it’s all a load of nonsense.

Of all people, it’s shy Robin who comes to the girl’s rescue. He is a member of a Candy Guild family – people who have the ability to create magic sweets that will help others. This is how he knows that only the mysterious Candy Guild can lift the curse on Charlie. With a suitcase full of magic sweets, the three of them set out on a dangerous quest.

        Direct rule and the governance of Northern Ireland

        by Derek Birrell

        This is the first comprehensive study of direct rule as the system of governance which operated in Northern Ireland for most of the period between 1972 and 2007. The major institutions of governance are described and examined in detail, including the often neglected sectors of the role of the Westminster parliament, the civil service, local government, quangos, ombudsmen offices, cross-border structures and the public expenditure process. The book explains how the complex system covering transferred, reserved and excepted functions worked and provided viable governance despite political violence, constitutional conflict and political party disagreements. In addition, a comparison is drawn between direct rule and devolution, analysing both the positive and negative impact of direct rule, as well as identifying where there has been minimal divergence in processes and outcomes. It will prove an invaluable reference source on direct rule and provide a comparative basis for assessing devolution for students of public administration, government, politics, public policy and devolution. ;

        Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda, or Not the Miracle of Bern

        What if everything had been different in German football

        by Jörg Heinrich

        “Well, that’s football for you!” – football-related conventional wisdom when there’s nothing left to explain after a lucky win or unlucky defeat. But Jörg Heinrich, the renowned football journalist, is not satisfied with this platitude. “Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda”: in the 25 essays in this ball-smart book, bursting with esprit and wit, Jörg Heinrich addresses questions and topics that have never even been considered before, never mind answered. Such as: “What if Günter Netzer had not come on as a substitute in 1973?”, or “if Birgit Prinz had aimed better in the 1995 World Cup?”. “What if Mario Basler had been a non-smoker in 1999”, or “if SC Freiburg had fired their coach Christian Streich after relegation in 2015?”.

        The Candy Guild (2). The Lost Recipe

        by Tanja Voosen/ Viktoria Gavrilenko

        Magical sweets and real miracles? Elina has experienced them both in Belony, and now she can hardly wait to dip deeper into the world of the candy crafters. But it’s not long before a new problem arises, because just before Robin’s first candy crafting examination, his magic tool goes bust. Old Mr Snotty knows where they can get help, and he takes Elina and her friends to Bittersweet Avenue. It quickly becomes clear, though, that not all candy crafters are well disposed towards “ungifted” people. There are also rumours about the return of the mysterious Otherwise Society, which has tried once before to bring down the mighty Candy Guild. When Mr Snotty suddenly disappears without a trace, it’s up to Elina, Charlie and Robin to follow the clues he has left behind for them. They soon realize that there is a reason for his disappearance, because the Otherwise Society is looking for something in particular – and Elina, Charlie and Robin have the key to this something in their hands…

        How Big Food Risks Our Health

        by Wilfried Bommert, Christina Sartori

        Addiction from the supermarket The most powerful drug cartel of the 21st century sells pizzas, chocolate bars and mixed sweets. The promise: a quick and happy snack at low cost. The truth: this “food” isn’t nutritious, but is addictive and fattening, while bringing bumper profits for the investors. “Big Food” is becoming more powerful, but the costs due to the consequences of obesity now risk overwhelming global healthcare services. Obesity ranks as a killer before smoking or high blood pressure. A direct analysis of a man-made epidemic that is dominated by a few large companies and kept going by multiple profiteers. Their motto: “Teach the world to snack.”

        Disappearances, ecological disasters and humanitarian crisis are most of the time less important topics in the news —or in our everyday life— compared to movie premieres or the result of football matches. The relevance of this matters, require our urgent reflection.
