Humanities & Social SciencesDecember 2022Class, work and whiteness
Race and settler colonialism in Southern Rhodesia, 1919–79
by Nicola Ginsburgh
This book offers the first comprehensive history of white workers from the end of the First World War to Zimbabwean independence in 1980. It reveals how white worker identity was constituted, examines the white labouring class as an ethnically and nationally heterogeneous formation comprised of both men and women, and emphasises the active participation of white workers in the ongoing and contested production of race. White wage labourers' experiences, both as exploited workers and as part of the privileged white minority, offer insight into how race and class co-produced one another and how boundaries fundamental to settler colonialism were regulated and policed. Based on original research conducted in Zimbabwe, South Africa and the UK, this book offers a unique theoretical synthesis of work on gender, whiteness studies, labour histories, settler colonialism, Marxism, emotions and the New African Economic History.

Humanities & Social SciencesNovember 2009Has devolution worked?
The verdict from policy-makers and the public
by John Curtice, Bed Seyd
Devolution to Scotland and Wales represented the most fundamental reform of the British state for almost a century. Ten years on, how successful has the reform been? Drawing on the views of citizens, elected representatives and interest groups in Scotland and Wales, this book provides an answer. The book is based on a wide ranging programme of research, involving dedicated surveys and interviews across Scotland, Wales and England. The results provide important new evidence on how devolution has been seen to have performed. What are its perceived achievements? What are its shortcomings? Is the new devolution 'settlement' stable, or is there a demand for further reform? By bringing together perspectives from the public, members of the devolved legislatures and representatives of civil society, the book establishes a unique picture of where devolution in Britain stands today. The book is accessibly written, and contains a wide range of useful primary data. It is ideal for undergraduate and postgraduate students studying devolution in Britain, as well as for general readers with an interest in constitutional reform and territorial politics. ;

August 1985Die Besiegten
Aus dem Schwedischen von Beat Mazenauer. Mit einem Nachwort von Gunilla Palmstierna-Weiss
by Peter Weiss, Beat Mazenauer, Gunilla Palmstierna-Weiss
Peter Weiss wurde am 8. November 1916 in Nowawes bei Berlin geboren und starb am 10. Mai 1982 in Stockholm. Zwischen 1918 und 1929 lebte er in Bremen, wo er das Gymnasium besuchte. 1929 kehrte die Familie Weiss nach Berlin zurück, musste jedoch 1934 emigrieren. Die erste Station bildete London, darauf folgte 1936 die SR. In diesen Jahren widmete sich Peter Weiss vorwiegend der Malerei – 1937/1938 studierte er Malerei an der Kunstakademie in Prag. In dieser Zeit besuchte er Hermann Hesse während zweier längerer Aufenthalte in der Schweiz. Die dritte und letzte Emigrationsstation bildete 1939 Schweden, wo Peter Weiss zunächst in Alingsås, ab 1940 in Stockholm wohnte. Hier setzte er seine Tätigkeit als Maler fort. 1947 hielt er sich als Korrespondent einer schwedischen Tagesszeitung in Berlin auf. Seine Artikel versammelte er 1948 zu seiner ersten Buchpublikation. Der Band erschien posthum 1985 unter dem Titel Die Besiegten. Ab diesem Zeitraum entstanden, in schwedischer Sprache, die ersten Prosaarbeiten, Gedichte, und Dramen. Zu den wichtigsten Erzählungen aus dieser Schaffensperiode zählen Die Situation aus dem Jahre 1956 sowie das 1980 unter dem Autorenpseudonym Sinclair veröffentlichte Buch Der Fremde. Keines seiner Manuskripte wurde jedoch von einem schwedischen Verlag zur Publikation angenommen. Mitte der fünfziger Jahre begann Peter Weiss in deutscher Sprache zu schreiben. 1960 erschien sein erstes Prosabuch Der Schatten des Körpers des Kutschers. Zu Beginn der siebziger Jahre wand sich Peter Weiss wieder der Prosa zu. Zwischen 1975 und 1981 erschien der dreibändige Roman Die Ästhetik des Widerstands, deren letzter Band begleitet wird von Notizbücher 1971 – 1980. Ihm wurde posthum der Georg-Büchner-Preis für das Jahr 1982 zuerkannt. Beat Mazenauer, geboren 1958, Germanist und Historiker, lebt als Literaturkritiker und freier Autor in Luzern.

November 2010Die Pariser Weltausstellung 1889
Bilder von der Globalisierung
by Beat Wyss
Die gelungenste Weltausstellung aller Zeiten war die Exposition Universelle de Paris von 1889. Weit über 32 Millionen Menschen besuchten das gigantische Spektakel mit knapp 62.000 Ausstellern aus 54 Nationen und 17 französischen Kolonien. Das Wahrzeichen der Schau, der Eiffelturm, blieb Paris bis heute erhalten. Einen legendären Ruf erwarb sich auch das offizielle, wöchentlich erscheinende Journal der Weltausstellung. Auf großformatigen, mit Stahlstichen üppig illustrierten Seiten berichtete es von den Sensationen vor Ort, von dreirädrigen selbstfahrenden Karren und ethnologischen Dörfern, in denen es Kamelreiten für die Kinder und Bauchtänze für die Herren gab. Der Schweizer Kunsthistoriker Beat Wyss hat die hundert originellsten Abbildungen ausgewählt. Sie illustrieren, wie die Expo den Erdball auf ein »Weltdorf« zwischen Trocadéro und Champ de Mars schrumpfen lässt, wie räumliche Distanzen abgebaut und dabei kulturelle Differenzen freigelegt werden. Das späte 20. Jahrhundert wird dafür den Begriff der Globalisierung prägen. Beat Wyss zeigt, wie die Gesellschaften seit dem 19. Jahrhundert mit diesem Prozeß umgehen und mit der Verwestlichung der Welt eine Orientalisierung des Westens einhergeht. Dem Leser als Flaneur über die Bühne der Weltausstellung wird klar: Die Expo 1889 belegt nicht nur den aktuellen Zustand einer Zeit, sondern bietet über die spektakuläre Anordnung ihrer Exponate den Vorschein einer gesellschaftlichen Utopie.

2023Drug Products in Nursing and Care Practice
Safe handling of medication
by Dr. Ulrich Räth and Friedhelm Kamann
The assessment of nursing and care needs and the organisation and quality assurance of nursing care are key tasks performed by nursing staff. This also includes administering medication, something which requires sound organisation, control, implementation and documentation. Nurses observe whether medication is taken consistently, has the desired effect, and whether undesirable side effects occur. The drug product as a „special commodity“ – whether in inpatient long-term care, in outpatient care, or in hospital – requires special knowledge concerning - correct storage, - the pharmacological effect, and - appropriate application. This book is geared towards the diseases and symptoms of people requiring nursing or care. All the important facts concerning the use of medicines are presented here in an understandable manner, focusing on the essentials. Numerous illustrations and practical tips provide the link to everyday nursing care. It is the ideal textbook and reference work for nursing and care assistants as well as nursing professionals.

Humanities & Social SciencesDecember 2023Transitional justice in process
Plans and politics in Tunisia
by Mariam Salehi
After the fall of the Ben Ali regime in 2011, Tunisia swiftly began dealing with its authoritarian past and initiated a comprehensive transitional justice process, with the Truth and Dignity Commission as its central institution. However, instead of bringing about peace and justice, transitional justice soon became an arena of contention. Through a process lens, the book explores why and how the process evolved, and explains how it relates to the country's political transition. Based on extensive field research in Tunisia and the US, and interviews with a broad range of international stakeholders and decision-makers, this is the first book to comprehensively study the Tunisian transitional justice process. It provides an in-depth analysis of a crucial period, examining the role of justice professionals in different stages, as well as the alliances and frictions between different actor groups that cut across the often-assumed local-international divide.

2022The Practice of Pharmacy
Textbook for pharmacy interns Handbook for the pharmacy
by Dr. Michael Sax, founded by Dr. Herbert Gebler and Dr. Gerd Kindl
After pharmacy studies have ended, the fascinating world of the pharmacy awaits – simultaneously varied and challenging. This is no problem with this well-established standard work to hand! The 7th edition, with a new editor and new structure, goes through the various stages of pharmacy operation. Beginning with the social mandate to supply medicines and then considering the organisational and economic orientation of a pharmacy, one delves ever deeper into its inner workings. In every area, the appropriate specific information can be found about pharmaceutical law and practice – whether this concerns the back office, over-the-counter medicines, dispensary and dispensing, or the supply of care homes, or preparation of cytotoxic drugs. In addition to the important topic “Dispensing of drugs and medical devices on prescription”, particular attention is paid to the principal activity in the pharmacy – giving advice on self-medication. The contents are based on the regulations for registration of pharmacists and the guidelines of the Federal Chamber of Pharmacists for the practical training of pharmacy interns in the pharmacy. The Practice of Pharmacy safely navigates the user through the practical training year and is the ideal preparation for the 3rd State Examination! Returnees, pharmacies that provide training and pharmacists of many years’ experience, will also benefit from this textbook and reference work.

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2023Love and revolution
A politics for the deep commons
by Matt York
Based on award-winning research, Love and revolution brings classical and contemporary anarchist thought into a mutually beneficial dialogue with a global cross-section of ecological, anti-capitalist, feminist and anti-racist activists - discussing real-life examples of the loving-caring relations that underpin many contemporary struggles. Such a (r)evolutionary love is discovered to be a common embodied experience among the activists contributing to this collective vision, manifested as a radical solidarity, as political direct action, as long-term processes of struggle, and as a deeply relational more-than-human ethics. This book provides an essential resource for all those interested in building a free society grounded in solidarity and care, and offers a timely contribution to contemporary movement discourse.
