        Mercury in Munich

        The best years of his life

        by Nicola Bardola

        Eccentric and shy, extravagant yet modest, Freddie Mercury was one of rock history's most glittering figures. More has been written about Queen's front man than about any other rock star, but little is known about the time he spent in Munich between 1979 and 1985. Now, finally, this book gives us a month-by-month, and occasionally day-by-day, account of Freddy's life of pleasure in the Bavarian metropolis – turning the spotlight on his friends and lovers, the city's world-famous club scene and its drug-fuelled parties, as well as giving us an insight into Mercury's musical aspirations.

        The Bloody Republic

        Berlin and Vienna, the Sources of Nazism

        by Jean-Numa Ducange

        The end of the First World War saw a revolutionary wave sweep across Europe. In Berlin and Vienna, the defeat of the two great Empires led to the proclamation of republics in November 1918. The workers parties rose to power. In response to aspirations for radical democracy and a world free of war and exploitation, social laws were enacted, but the most radical fringes wanted to go further and draw inspiration from the new Soviet model. Rosa Luxemburg, their flag bearer and symbol, was assassinated on 15th January 1919 by the Free Corps with the support of the new social-democratic government. A few months later, in Munich, a short-lived Bavarian socialist republic was also crushed in bloodshed... by individuals who, for some, would become close to Adolf Hitler. In the 1920s, the division of the workers movement, among others, allowed nationalism to develop over the next decade which led to the crushing of the world’s oldest and most powerful workers parties within a few months by Nazism.

        Waffen SS Britain

        by Paul Hurley

        The novel comprises well researched fact and plausible fiction, carefully interwoven to form an alternative and frightening history.  It is a military tale, not just a war story, it is a thriller and love story based on the premise that in 1940 Germany invaded Britain! It is written factually until the point where the allies reach Dunkirk. The cream of the allied armies are then trapped and imprisoned! The Germans invade Britain successfully.    In the summer of 1940, Churchill stood virtually alone in his refusal to surrender whilst facing almost certain defeat. In reality, if Britain had surrendered in that summer of 1940 the European war would have ended. Quite possibly no Pearl Harbour and no Italian or further Russian involvement, hostilities would have ceased worldwide. But what of the Holocaust, would that have gone ahead? The evidence suggests that under Hitler and the Nazis it would! The book is thought provoking and fictional.

        Il Landau di Susi

        by Bruno Arcangeli Grablovitz

        There are invisible strings tying us to our past, bonds that, from father to son, hand down customs, habits, traditions and feelings making us feel part of the story that is set by the passing of years. The words in this novel, which could be defined “historical”, take our hands and gently and with great care lead us back to the end of the 19th century, when the young Susi, from the small village of Ronchi dei Legionari, attended the Ursuline Sisters School in Gorizia. The landau, which the book is named after, is a symbol of those changing times and, in a way, it accompanies Susi elegantly and lightly until the day of her wedding. Bruno Arcangeli Grablovitz, meticulously reconstructs the history of her family, tile after tile, thanks to extensive research, precious documents and his mother’s heartfelt accounts. The result is a detailed description of the social, economic and historical context of the time, when important events occurred, inevitably changing the future.

        The »World Atlas of Jellyfish« presents in a lavishly illustrated multi-author compendium the more than 260 species of medusae (Scyphomedusae and Cubomedusae) described so far.

Numerous illustrations, distribution maps, taxonomic keys and literature lists allow for detailed identification and information. Outstanding among the wealth of wonderful illustra­tions are hitherto unpublished artistic colour paintings by Ernst Haeckel.

It is of importance not only for scientists worldwide, but also a source of fascination for divers and lovers of marine life. Corresponding to its far-reaching relevance and to the internationality of contributing authors the volume is written in English.

        Tales from a Disappearing Continent

        by Marco Tedesco, Alberto Flores D’Arcais

        When people think about the Arctic, they think about a monotone expanse of white snow, devoid of distinguishing figures. They could not be more wrong. Snow can be blue, or purple, or even green under the right light, and in tiny holes under the surface of the ice a strange kind of biome flourishes, which may hold the solution to the mystery of life. Marco Tedesco is one of the scientists living among the fast-disappearing ice. Every facet of his life revolves around it, whether mapping the geography of rivers or studying the bacteria inside the cryoconite holes or the remains of the High Arctic camel. Ice. Tales from a Disappearing Continent is an exciting scientific adventure much like Charles Darwin’s The Voyage of the Beagle, but, at the same time, it is a heartfelt plea to treasure ice, because without it we would lose not only the roots of our past, but also our future.

        National Thought in Europe

        A Cultural History

        by Jope Leerssen

        Bringing together sources from many countries and many centuries, this study critically analyses the growth of nationalism - from medieval ethnic prejudice to the Romantic belief in a nation’s “soul”. The belief and ideology of the nation’s cultural individuality emerged from a Europe-wide exchange of ideas, often articulated in literature and belles lettres. In the last two centuries, these ideas have transformed the map of Europe and the relations between people and government. Tracing the modern European nation-state as the outcome of a cultural self-invention, cross-nationally and historically, Leerssen also provides a new approach to Europe’s contemporary identity politics. This study of nationalism offers a startling new perspective on cultural and national identity. National Thought in Europe was shortlisted for the Europe Book Prize.

        Confrontation and Revival in the Modern Movement

        by Éva Forgács

        “I was unable to put down [this book]; one that will be used by those interested in the field for a long time to come.”– Dr. Oliver Botar, Hungarian Cultural Studies   Insightful essays, monographic texts, and rarely-seen images trace from birth to maturation several generations of Hungarian Modernism, from the avant-garde to neo-avant-garde.

The book also paints a fascinating image of twentieth-century Budapest as a microcosm of the social and political turmoil raging across Europe up to and beyond the collapse of the Soviet Era.
