Die Evolution des modernen europäischen Fußballs
by Michael Cox, Stephan Gebauer
Der Fußball, heißt es, schreibt die unglaublichsten Geschichten. Höchste Zeit also für eine unglaublich gute Geschichte des Fußballs. Michael Cox erzählt sie ab dem Jahr 1992, als die Änderung der Rückpassregel und die Einführung der Champions League den Sport veränderten und einen weiteren Professionalisierungsschub auslösten. Cox zeichnet nach, wie die großen europäischen Fußballländer mit ihren Clubs und Nationalmannschaften jeweils eine Zeit lang dominierten, bis die Konkurrenz ihren Erfolgscode knackte und die Evolution weiter vorantrieb. José Mourinhos abgezockte Abwehrmaschinen, Pep Guardiolas Kurzpass-Tiki-Taka, das Gegenpressing und Umschaltspiel von Jürgen Klopp – Cox porträtiert die prägenden Figuren dieser knapp drei Jahrzehnte und erklärt ihre taktischen Neuerungen. Und er erinnert an legendäre Spiele, etwa an den Moment, als der portugiesische Nationaltorwart Ricardo im EM-Viertelfinale 2004 plötzlich seine Handschuhe auszog, den letzten Elfmeter der Engländer hielt und den entscheidenden selbst verwandelte.

Stage rights!
The Actresses’ Franchise League, activism and politics 1908–58
by Naomi Paxton
Stage rights! explores the work and legacy of the first feminist political theatre group of the twentieth century, the Actresses' Franchise League. Formed in 1908 to support the suffrage movement through theatre, the League and its membership opened up new roles for women on stage and off, challenged stereotypes of suffragists and actresses, created new work inspired by the movement and was an integral part of the performative propaganda of the campaign. Introducing new archival material to both suffrage and theatre histories, this book is the first to focus in detail on the Actresses' Franchise League, its membership and its work. The volume is formulated as a historiographically innovative critical biography of the organisation over the fifty years of its activities, and invites a total reassessment of the League within the accepted narratives of the development of political theatre in the UK.

Populism in Europe
Lessons from Umberto Bossi's Northern League
by Davide Vampa, Daniele Albertazzi
Populism in Europe offers a detailed and systematic analysis of the ideology, electoral and governmental performances, organisational model, type of leadership and member activism of the Northern League under its founder, Umberto Bossi (1991-2012). Based on a wealth of original research, the book identifies the Northern League's consistent and coherent ideology, its strong leadership and its ability to create communities of loyal partisan activists as key ingredients of its success. Through their in-depth analysis, Albertazzi and Vampa show that the League has much to teach us about how populists can achieve durability and rootedness and how parties of all kinds can still benefit from a committed and dedicated membership today.

Plagues of the heart
Crisis and covenanting in a seventeenth-century Scottish town
by Michelle D. Brock
Using a wide range of archival material, Plagues of the heart provides a fresh understanding of religion and identity not only in seventeenth-century Scotland, but in protestant communities across the early modern world grappling with a range of interrelated crises. By examining the 'culture of covenanting' in the southwestern port-city of Ayr between the British civil wars and the Revolution of 1688, this book reveals how adherence to the National Covenant of 1638 and the Solemn League and Covenant of 1643 informed the identities and lived experiences of a generation of Scots. This is the compelling story of one Scottish town and its remarkable minister, but it demonstrates how in the early modern period, especially when it came to matters of faith, the local was imbedded rather than isolated, engaged rather than insular.

Instruments of international order
Internationalism and diplomacy, 1900-50
by Thomas W. Bottelier, Jan Stöckmann
During the first half of the twentieth century, world politics was reshaped in pursuit of a new international order. The ideological foundations of the 'new diplomacy' (and its fate during the interwar period) are well known. This book instead examines the practices of internationalism and diplomacy from the First Hague Conference of 1899 to the aftermath of the Second World War. By focusing on these practices, such as disarmament regimes or public diplomacy, and their use as instruments to build international order(s), it emphasises the constructed, contested, and experimental character of what subsequently became a standard repertoire of international politics. Essays from a range of interdisciplinary scholars address well-established principles such as self-determination, and also less prominent practices such as small arms control or parliamentary inquiry. The book makes a major contribution to the growing historiography on twentieth-century internationalism.

The Lake of Fire
by Donald Willerton
Mogi Franklin and his sister Jennifer are delighted to be attending a high school science conference in New Mexico amidst a hundred thousand acres of meadows, mountains, rivers, and volcanoes far older than recorded time. But their focus quickly changes when they learn of the disappearance fifty years ago of a plane with two hundred pounds of plutonium–and of the terrorist nations vying today to find it in those same mountains.Soon, they are engulfed in a complex web of Russian spies, government lies and deceit, an old box full of clues, and the real possibility that the shipment bound decades ago for nearby Los Alamos national laboratory is indeed hidden tantalizingly close to their conference center.Puzzling over the mystery, Mogi sets out with some friends on a backpacking trip to a remote lake. Too late they realize their mistake, as a minor forest fire suddenly explodes into the most dangerous blaze in the state's history, trapping Mogi and the others right in its path. They're fighting for their lives in this fifth book of the Mogi Franklin Mysteries, and if he's going to come up with a way out, he'd better do it fast!

The Women's Suffrage movement
*New feminist perspectives*
by Maroula Joannou, June Purvis
Available in paperback for the first time, this important collection of essays illustrates the complexity, richness and diversity of the suffrage movement. Combining historical reappraisal with lively accounts of the culture of the women's suffrage movement, this volume offers a unique focus. It includes studies of the fascinating, but neglected groups that participated in the campaign: the Women's Franchise League; the Women's Freedom League; the Women's Tax Resistance League and the United Suffragists. This is accompanied by feminist research on the poetry, fiction and drama that emerged from women's struggle for the vote. In addition there are reappraisals of two leading figures in the Pankhursts' Women's Social and Political Union, an illuminating analysis of the relationship between suffrage and sexuality, and a discussion of what happened away from the metropolis, as well as of the little known campaign to extend the vote after 1918. ;

Gallop on Horseback
by Bao’erji Yuanye
The prose works of the grassland and the life of the Mongol nationality noticeably stand out among all the brilliant works of Bao’erji Yuanye. The famous writer Zhang Xiaofeng once said after reading the works:” When I read his work, I feel like that I have been in his hometown and entered his house, and I have chatted with every inhabitant with arm in arm, seen their tear stains, listened to their whispers and felt the wild wind from the grassland. ” Since 2015, Bao’erji Yuanye has been to Chifeng City, Tongliao City and Hulunbeier City in Inner Mongolia, and lived in eight stock-raising Banners belonging to Xilin Gol League and Alxa League. He has gained much both in spirit and literary materials, and created a large number of works during the two years, including a large part of the collection of prose works. Featured with novelty, charm, sincerity and profoundness, these prose works act as lavish gifts of the author to the readers who love his works, and can be regarded as the pinnacle of present prairie literature.

Performing Herself
Autobiography and Fanny Kelly's Dramatic Recollections
by Gilli Bush-Bailey, Kate Dorney, Maggie B. Gale
This unique book contains the never before published script of the first ever one-woman show, written by Fanny Kelly. The script was performed in Britain in the 1830s and 40s, based on Kelly's own experiences and offers a picture of the exuberant and often bizarre Georgian entertainment world. The performance text is introduced, edited and explained by Gilli Bush-Bailey, who focuses 21st-century revisionist scholarship on Kelly's story. It is an innovative contribution to the modern debate on biographical and autobiographical writing, whilst also being a valuable text for those who wish to study comedy and women's performance. The materials and methods of the modern stand-up routine are already to be seen in this unusual text. This book will appeal to students and scholars who are involved in performance, theatre history, or biography. It is also an accessible text for the interested general reader. ;

Treating the People as His Mirror, a Man of Sincerity—Zhang Lan
by Zhao Zunsheng
Based on the life of Mr. Zhang Lan and supplemented by reasonable literary imagination, this book vividly depicts the magnificent life course of a democratic revolutionary, patriot and educator. He served as a governor of Sichuan Province, hosted the Morning Post and supported the New Culture Movement. As the president of Chengdu University, he adhered to the principle of inclusiveness, insisted on meritocracy and advocated ideological and academic freedom. He participated in the initiation and the organization of the China Democratic Political League, wrote China Needs Real Democracy, exposing the feigned democracy and real dictatorship of the Kuomintang. On the eve of liberation, he was unexpectedly imprisoned in Hongqiao Sanatorium because of his support to the Communist Party of China (CPC) and was nearly drowned by the Kuomintang. He served as vice chairman of the Central People's Government of New China and the first chairman of the Central Committee of the China Democratic League.
