March 2019»Der Zauber steckt immer im Detail«
by Theodor Fontane, Matthias Reiner, Heike Steinweg
»Fontane liest man nie aus.« Das vorliegende Lesebuch bietet eine Auswahl der schönsten Texte des Autors: seine legendären Ausflüge ins Innere des Landes Brandenburg, die berühmten »Causerien« aus Effi Briest oder dem Stechlin, Meditationen über das Kranksein oder die Ehe in den Briefen an seine Frau Emilie und seine Tochter Mete, Erinnerungen an seine Kindheit, Gedichte vom »Herrn von Ribbeck« bis zu »Meine Gräber«. Die Texte werden kurz kommentiert und in den Werkzusammenhang eingeordnet. Der Band enthält darüber hinaus Fotografien von Heike Steinweg, die sich auf die Spuren des Dichters begeben hat – von Neuruppin bis Paretz, von Potsdam-Bornstedt bis zum Berliner Tiergarten. So dass der Wunsch entstehen könnte: »… daß ich sehr bald all das sehen wollte, worüber ich gelesen hatte.« »Es war eine halbe Stunde, wie sie nur an d i e s e r Stelle erlebt werden kann, hier, wo sich Stille und Erinnerung die Hand reichen.«

Humanities & Social SciencesAugust 2023Critical theory and legal autopoiesis
The case for societal constitutionalism
by Gunther Teubner, Diana Göbel
This volume collects and revises the key essays of Gunther Teubner, one of the world's leading sociologists of law. Written over the past twenty years, these essays examine the 'dark side' of functional differentiation and the prospects of societal constitutionalism as a possible remedy. Teubner's claim is that critical accounts of law and society require reformulation in the light of the sophisticated diagnoses of late modernity in the writings of Niklas Luhmann, Jacques Derrida and select examples of modernist literature. Autopoiesis, deconstruction and other post-foundational epistemological and political realities compel us to confront the fact that fundamental democratic concepts such as law and justice can no longer be based on theories of stringent argumentation or analytical philosophy. We must now approach law in terms of contingency and self-subversion rather than in terms of logical consistency and rational coherence.

April 2015»Der liebe Gott wohnt im Detail« Briefwechsel 1939-1969
Briefe und Briefwechsel. Band 8: Theodor W. Adorno/Gershom Scholem, Briefwechsel 1939-1969
by Theodor W. Adorno, Gershom Scholem, Asaf Angermann
»Er gefällt mir außerordentlich gut und wir fanden uns recht viel zu sagen« schrieb Gershom Scholem 1938 an Walter Benjamin. Mit »Er« ist Theodor W. Adorno gemeint, den Scholem kurz zuvor in New York persönlich kennengelernt hatte. Es war der Beginn einer 30 Jahre währenden intellektuellen und freundschaftlichen Beziehung. Und der Auftakt für eine mehr als 200 Briefe umfassende Korrespondenz, die eine ganze Epoche deutsch-jüdischer Geistesgeschichte auf eindrucksvolle Weise dokumentiert und nun erstmals vollständig veröffentlicht wird. Biographisches spielt in dem äußerst intensiv geführten Briefwechsel ebenso eine Rolle wie philosophisch-theologische Fragestellungen. Adorno zeigt großes Interesse an jüdischem Denken und liefert scharfsinnige Analysen der Schriften Scholems. Scholem wiederum kommentiert die Neuerscheinungen Adornos und erweist sich als profunder Kenner der zeitgenössischen Philosophie. Um Mystik und Dialektik, Erlösung und Messianismus, Mythos und Aufklärung kreisen ihre Diskussionen, außerdem um Arendt und Marcuse, Heidegger und Bloch, Buber und Lukács. Auch die Tagespolitik kommt zur Sprache, etwa die Situation im Nahen Osten oder die beginnende Studentenrevolte. Fixstern der Korrespondenz ist aber der gemeinsame Freund Walter Benjamin, der wie kein Zweiter für das Schicksal der deutsch-jüdischen Intellektuellen im 20. Jahrhundert steht.

Early learning / early learning conceptsOctober 2017Una cabeza distinta (A different head)
by Luis Panini, Chiara Carrer
This child tells us that he is not happy with the head that he has. He thinks it is a wrong head. The parents, after listening to him, take him to a specialist, who agrees with the little one. A mysterious man dressed in black supplies him with heads in exchange for his own. The child tries several, until he finds the one he was looking for. A reindeer head, a crocodile head, a whisk head: the narrator child and protagonist of this story tells us about his disagreement with the head he has and the vicissitudes that he has to go through to find the head with which he will finally agree: the head of a grown man, of a mathematician. This is a story of search for identity and growth, developed with fine fantasy and humor, with the wisdom of someone he has sought and perhaps already found.

MedicineSuggestion, Empathy and Evidence in Medicine
Take Opportunities, Recognize Limits
by Johannes Jörg
Depending on their personality, their social, cultural, and religious environ ment, and the nature of their illness, patients tend to have a waitandsee mood when they come into contact with a doctor, and usually an anxious mood in the case of emergencies. The situation is often accompanied not only by heightened expectations, but also by increased psychological as well as vegetative suggestibility. Suggestion and autosuggestion can, depending on the degree of psychovegetative infl enceability, activate the selfhealing powers through psychological and physiological changes. On the one hand, the author vividly describes how the conscious use of empathy and sug gestion in the context of medical prac tice can promote a close doctor patientrelationship and positively inflence the results of therapy. On the other hand, he illustrates the negative side of the latter, namely as an exag gerated form of overestimation or abuse.

Children's & YADecember 2019The Middle
by Richa Jha and Eva Sanchez Gomez
The Middle is a story of a journey within a journey. A voracious reader, Azma, whose mind is full of questions as she reads, finds that the more books she consumes, the more the whys and hows in them consume her. One night, a torn scrap of paper floats into her room, carrying an incomplete line within its crinkles. She desperately searches for any missing words to complete the lonely phrase but failing at each attempt, she finally turns to writing her own beginning and end. The pages of The Middle are filled with surreal creatures - formidable, terrifying, looming – and these represent the fears and doubts of a mind struggling to make sense of the worlds captured within those books that only partially satisfy her as a reader. Azma embarks on an incomplete journey, ready to create its origin and end, finally realising the answers to all her impossible questions can only come to her when she writes her own version of the story. It is only then that the haunting creatures begin to soften and harmlessly melt away into themselves. Richa Jha’s lyrical prose and Eva Sanchez Gomez’s breathtaking visual poetry come together to narrate a tale that is both stunning and thought-provoking. For all the restless creative souls out there, The Middle presents an all-familiar trajectory of creating something new.

Humanities & Social SciencesMay 2024Land and labour
The Potters’ Emigration Society, 1844-51
by Martin Crawford
Land and labour provides the first full-length history of the Potters' Emigration Society, the controversial trade union scheme designed to solve the problems of surplus labour by changing workers into farmers on land acquired in frontier Wisconsin. The book is based on intensive research into British and American newspapers, passenger lists, census, manuscript, and genealogical sources. After tracing the scheme's industrial origins and founding in the Potteries, it examines the migration and settlement process, expansion to other trades and areas, and finally the circumstances that led to its demise in 1851. Despite the Society's failure, the history offers unique insight into working-class dreams of landed independence in the American West and into the complex and contingent character of nineteenth-century emigration.

Swimming & water sports (Children's/YA)October 2020Nadadores
by María José Ferrada, Mariana Alcántara
There might be many swimmers for sure who, after training so much during the day (“50 meters of Front Crawl, 50 meters of Back and 50 meters of Butterfly”) at night they dream about being fish. But during those same nights, when the moon illuminates the oceans, will fish dream about being swimmers? The authors of this book use humor and poetry to show us that a page can be a deep sea or an Olympic-size swimming pool, depending on the eyes with which it is looked at.

Society & culture: generalMay 2014The end of the experiment?
From competition to the foundational economy
by Andrew Bowman, Julie Froud, Sukhdev Johal, John Law, Adam Leaver, Mick Moran and Karel Williams
For thirty years, the British economy has repeated the same old experiment of subjecting everything to competition and market because that is what works in the imagination of central government. This book demonstrates the repeated failure of that experiment by detailed examination of three sectors: broadband, food supply and retail banking. The book argues for a new experiment in social licensing whereby the right to trade in foundational activities would be dependent on the discharge of social obligations in the form of sourcing, training and living wages. Written by a team of researchers and policy advocates based at the Centre for Research on Socio Cultural Change, this book combines rigour and readability, and will be relevant to practitioners, policy makers, academics and engaged citizens.

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2021Freedom of speech, 1500–1850
by Robert Ingram, Jason Peacey, Alex W. Barber
This collection brings together historians, political theorists and literary scholars to provide historical perspectives on the modern debate over freedom of speech, particularly the question of whether limitations might be necessary given religious pluralism and concerns about hate speech. It integrates religion into the history of free speech and rethinks what is sometimes regarded as a coherent tradition of more or less absolutist justifications for free expression. Contributors examine the aims and effectiveness of government policies, the sometimes contingent ways in which freedom of speech became a reality and a wide range of canonical and non-canonical texts in which contemporaries outlined their ideas and ideals. Overall, the book argues that while the period from 1500 to 1850 witnessed considerable change in terms of both ideas and practices, these were more or less distinct from those that characterise modern debates.

Humanities & Social SciencesDecember 2022Distant sisters
Australasian women and the international struggle for the vote, 1880–1914
by James Keating
In the 1890s Australian and New Zealand women became the first in the world to win the vote. Buoyed by their victories, they promised to lead a global struggle for the expansion of women's electoral rights. Charting the common trajectory of the colonial suffrage campaigns, Distant Sisters uncovers the personal and material networks that transformed feminist organising. Considering intimate and institutional connections, well-connected elites and ordinary women, this book argues developments in Auckland, Sydney, and Adelaide-long considered the peripheries of the feminist world-cannot be separated from its glamourous metropoles. Focusing on Antipodean women, simultaneously insiders and outsiders in the emerging international women's movement, and documenting the failures of their expansive vision alongside its successes, this book reveals a more contingent history of international organising and challenges celebratory accounts of fin-de-siècle global connection.
