        Via Ápia

        Roman | Eine Geschichte von Träumen und Albträumen in Rios Favela Rocinha

        by Geovani Martins, Nicolai von Schweder-Schreiner

        Auf der einen Straßenseite leben Douglas, Murilo und Biel in ihrem kleinen Apartment. Auf der anderen erstreckt sich Rio de Janeiros gigantische Rocinha Favela, dort wohnen die Brüder Wesley und Washington. Die Via Ápia markiert eine Grenze, doch gemeinsame Interessen verbinden die fünf jungen Männer: Fußball, Videospiele, Drogen. Schwankend zwischen Arbeitslosigkeit, stupiden Jobs, der strapaziösen Suche nach dem nächsten Joint und tosenden Funkpartys, versuchen die Anfang Zwanzigjährigen gerade, sich irgendwie ins Erwachsenenleben zu kämpfen – als eine Militärpolizeieinheit die Favela besetzt. Doch während nun rund um die Via Ápia die Schüsse hageln, wollen die, die sie ihre Heimat nennen, das pulsierende Leben der Favela nicht aufgeben. Der Staat kennt nur eine Antwort auf die Probleme Brasiliens – und dieser Roman stemmt sich mit seiner Vielfalt kraftvoller, einzigartiger Stimmen dagegen. Geovani Martins erzählt von Freundschaft und Frustration, von den Träumen und Albträumen junger Männer und von den absurden Auswirkungen des Kampfes gegen die Drogen.

        Players' work time

        A history of the British Musicians' Union, 1893–2013

        by Martin Cloonan, John Callan Williamson

        This book examines the working lives of musicians over the past 120 years via the history of the Musicians' Union. The union has been at the centre of all major agreements covering the employment of musicians across the UK's music industries for this period and its role to date has largely been ignored by historians of the music profession, the music industries and trade unions. This book remedies that oversight, providing fresh insight to musicians' working lives, the industries in which they work and wider British social life. It explores a history of confrontation, coercion and compromise played out across the nation's studios, performance spaces and airwaves.

        O, My Fellow Countrymen

        by Jai Xing’an

        Centering on many practical problems, O, My Fellow Countrymen elaborates a series of thrilling stories via the ruthless conflicts between Wang Tiansheng, the protagonist, and corrupt officials, thus shaping the image of a credible and respected rural secretary of the Party committee who is austere and full of courage.

        Amy Tan

        by Bella Adams, John Thieme

        This is the most comprehensive study to date of Amy Tan's work. It offers close readings of her texts in the context of broader debates about the representation of identity, history and reality. In contrast with Tan's own American-born narrators, and mainstream critics, Bella Adams's study looks beyond the stereotypes which appear in Tan's books, and explores the ways in which Chinese immigrants and their American relatives struggle to understand each others 'best qualities' via the Chinese tradition of the 'talk story'. She emphasises Tan's American narrators' process of becoming Chinese and discovering 'real China', and the significance of the ironic staging of these moments. Students will find this study both accessible and probing, and scholars will welcome its contribution to our understanding of a significant figure in contemporary literature. ;

        Rabies, Second Edition

        by Christine Adamec and Thomas E. Kienzle, Ph.D.

        Rabies is a remarkable virus with a long history. Most often transmitted to humans via the bite of a rabid animal, the disease travels through the nervous system to the brain, where it replicates and eventually causes death. While rabies is treatable if detected early, there is no treatment after symptoms appear. Today rabies continues to be a significant health concern, especially in underdeveloped countries where it causes thousands of deaths per year. Complete with statistics and trends, Rabies, Second Edition provides a thorough analysis of this dangerous disease, from prevention and treatment to recent research and developments.Chapters include: Stages of Rabies Infection Epidemiology of Rabies Diagnosing Rabies Prevention, Vaccination, and Treatment of Rabies.
