        From Dream to Trauma: Mental abuse in partnerships

        From Dream to Trauma: Mental abuse in partnerships

        by Caroline Wenzel

        The level of domestic abuse has been increasing for years, but often only cases of physical abuse hit the headlines. Hardly anyone talks about the mental, or psychological, abuse that usually precedes a physical or sexual assault. Those affected do not usually recognise the destructive dynamic in their relationship until far too late. In this book, three case histories illustrate the typical forms of mental abuse in relationships. In addition, experts explain the topic from psychological, therapeutic, political and legal perspectives, and the head of a counselling centre for male victims of mental abuse also has his say. An important and startling book.

        Union

        by Volodymyr Yeshkilev

        The new power brewed and fermented like young wine, giving birth to hopes and dreams of prosperity. In the dark and secret places new and young power met with the old power - gray and wild, infused with aged honey and witches. The two united in a blend, full of energy, movement, joyful fury and enterprising madness ", - writes Vladimir Yeshkiliev about Ukraine in the middle of the XVII century in his historical novel "Union", the first from the trilogy "Cursed Hetmans ". The novel is about Ivan Vyhovsky and hopes of a hereditary Ukrainian aristocracy to occupy a worthy place of Ukraine-Rus in the most modern of the then states - the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, about the role of the Orthodox Church in those events, about the catastrophe that came after the victorious Konotop battle. As in previous novels of Yeshkiliev, the detailed reconstruction of historic events is complemented by a thoroughly verified privately researched information, that is not widely known or has been deliberately omitted by historians and that reveals new details about the epoch of Hetmans in Ukraine and its tangible events.

        Vom Kontinent zur Union

        Gegenwart und Geschichte des vereinten Europa

        by Luuk van Middelaar

        Euro-Krise, »Flüchtlingskrise«, »Brexit« – die EU befindet sich an einem historischen Scheideweg. Nachdem es jahrzehntelang den Anschein hatte, die »Verwirklichung einer immer engeren Union der Völker Europas« sei nur eine Frage der Zeit, stellen unvorhergesehene Ereignisse die Logik der Integration infrage. Nationale Interessen rücken in den Vordergrund, das Ringen um gemeinsame Lösungen wird immer verzweifelter. Luuk van Middelaar, ein exzellenter Kenner der Brüsseler Praxis, verwandelt eine vermeintlich trockene Materie in den Stoff einer faszinierenden Erzählung. Beginnend mit dem 18. April 1951, als die Vertreter der sechs Gründerstaaten im französischen Außenministerium am Quai d’Orsay den Vertrag über die Errichtung der Montanunion unterzeichneten, schildert er die wichtigsten Etappen – und Krisen – auf dem Weg vom Kontinent zur Union. Er lässt die Atmosphäre dramatischer Gipfelnächte lebendig werden, zeigt, wie Politiker immer wieder versucht haben, die Öffentlichkeit von Europa zu überzeugen, und erinnert uns daran, welch einmaliges historisches Projekt aktuell auf dem Spiel steht.

        Roksolana. Union with the Jagiellonians: a historical novel: book. 1

        by Oleksandra Shutko

        The novel covers the events in the life of the Ukrainian Roksolana (Hürrem Sultan) - the wife of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, which took place in 1540-1551, when she was at the zenith of glory and power. This woman had a significant influence on the policy of the Ottoman Empire. She mediated the Sultan's man to establish good neighborly relations with the Polish Jagiellonian dynasty, Queen Isabella of Hungary, her mother Bona Sforza, and her brother, King Sigismund II of Poland. The novel is based on Roksolana's love and diplomatic correspondence, archival documents, reports of European ambassadors in Istanbul, Ottoman chroniclers, and information from thorough investigations by Turkish, Polish, Ukrainian, German, Italian, and American historians. In the novel, not only the events and characters are real, but even their dialogues, which history has preserved to this day.

        The Other Home

        by Oksana Lushchevska

        The early 21st century. The humanity is on the verge of the apocalypse, or so they tell on every TV channel. But the mass psychosis sometimes covers up more important problems, so people don’t see the true collapse is looming over their private lives. The life of Polya and Artem, the protagonists of Oksana Lushchevska’s ‘The Other Home’, has divided into two parts – before and after their parents divorced. Now the kids have to build new relationships with their Mom and Dad separately. Can they do it? Can they make themselves at home at the other home? Can they accept new circumstances and overcome the challenges? And what’s more, will the teenage love be an obstacle or a driver of change?

        Botany, sexuality and women's writing, 1760–1830

        From modest shoot to forward plant

        by Sam George

        In this fascinating study, Samantha George explores the cultivation of the female mind and the feminised discourse of botanical literature in eighteenth-century Britain. In particular, she discusses British women's engagement with the Swedish botanist, Carl Linnaeus, and his unsettling discovery of plant sexuality. Previously ignored primary texts of an extraordinary nature are rescued from obscurity and assigned a proper place in the histories of science, eighteenth-century literature, and women's writing. The result is groundbreaking: the author explores nationality and sexuality debates in relation to botany and charts the appearance of a new literary stereotype, the sexually precocious female botanist. She uncovers an anonymous poem on Linnaean botany, handwritten in the eighteenth century, and subsequently traces the development of a new genre of women's writing - the botanical poem with scientific notes. The book is indispensable reading for all scholars of the eighteenth century, especially those interested in Romantic women's writing, or the relationship between literature and science.

        Tourism and Gender-based Violence

        Challenging Inequalities

        by Paola Vizcaino-Suárez, Heather Jeffrey, Claudia Eger

        Gender-based violence (GBV) in travel and tourism is embedded within wider social structures of gender inequalities and discrimination. Even though it is pertinent to study GBV in all its forms, this book focuses on the multiple and interconnected manifestations of violence that women/girls encounter in tourism consumption and production (physical, sexual, emotional or socio-economic), while seeking to open the debate on violence against sexual minorities (LGBT) and discussing men/boys as victims and perpetrators of GBV. By engaging in a critical exploration of the theoretical landscape of GBV and case studies on GBV and sexual harassment, the book adopts a multidisciplinary perspective drawing on feminist, intersectional and post-colonial frameworks, bringing together contributions from academics and practitioners across the globe.

        Gender politics in the EU

        by Roberta Guerrina, Emil Kirchner, Thomas Christiansen

        This exciting book, newly available in paperback, investigates the scope of maternity legislation and family-friendly policies in the European Union. The wider context of the analysis is the development of equal rights as part of a European social dimension. The book is concerned with the influence of values and beliefs about women, equality, politics and employment on the scope of equal rights and maternity provisions. It provides answers to the following questions - what are the stated objectives of family-friendly policies? Which values transpire from the analysis of maternity rights? How do gender power hierarchies shape the overall aim of policies for the reconciliation between work and family life? Through the use of two case studies - one from Italy and one from the UK - it uncovers the values that underpin the policy making process and gives concrete examples of gender policies in action. It will be of vital benefit to anyone studying gender and gender policies in a specific European Union context. ;

        Gender, crime and empire

        convicts, settlers and the state in early colonial Australia

        by Kirsty Reid, Andrew Thompson, John Mackenzie, Martin Hargreaves

        Between 1803 and 1853, some 80,000 convicts were transported to Van Diemen's Land. Revising established models of the colonies, which tend to depict convict women as a peculiarly oppressed group, Gender, crime and empire argues that convict men and women in fact shared much in common. Placing men and women, ideas about masculinity, femininity, sexuality and the body, in comparative perspective, this book argues that historians must take fuller account of class to understand the relationships between gender and power. The book explores the ways in which ideas about fatherhood and household order initially informed the state's model of order, and the reasons why this foundered. It considers the shifting nature of state policies towards courtship, relationships and attempts at family formation which subsequently became matters of class conflict. It goes on to explore the ways in which ideas about gender and family informed liberal and humanitarian critiques of the colonies from the 1830s and 1840s and colonial demands for abolition and self-government. ;

        The First Year of the Love Calendar

        The First Year of the Love Calendar

        by Wang Yuewen

        Sun Li, the protagonist of the novel, is a bestseller writer and his wife Xizi is the head of a university library. Their son Sun Yichi has been rebellious and unruly since childhood, remaining distant from his mother. Afraid of the exhaustion of his creativity, the middle-aged Sun Li begins to question the meaning of his writings. He thus suffers from serious insomnia and anxiety. Just at this time, his wife Xizi begins to have her own amorous secrets. Sun Li also finds himself unable to leave Li Qiao, director of New Evening Paper. These affairs have pushed their seemingly peaceful family life to the verge of collapse. The love calendar refers to the calendar that belongs only to Sun Li and his wife Xizi for their love. But such turbulent life experience has caused them to temporarily betray their love calendar … They eventually begin again the first year of their love calendar. Through the depiction of the love, marriage, and family life of Sun Li and Xizi, the novel becomes a retrospection of the spiritual tendency, emotional development and love pattern of the Chinese over the past 20 to 30 years. It also vividly outlines the changes of social mores in China over the past years in a figurative way. Even amorous entanglements are not devoid of elements of the officialdom, with honest and corrupt officials still on the scene. According to Wang Yuewen, this is an element of reality rather than of officialdom – “after all nobody can live in a vacuum space”.

        by Ian Paterson

        Sally Forth is an intriguing saga of the tribulations which bedevil the first 30 years of Sally Bridge’s life from her childhood growing up with her twin sister in a highly idiosyncratic household in 1980s Oldham, to her chaotic adult life in London.Sally meets with a succession of unusual events, bizarre twists and life-changing ordeals including one particularly devastating event which overwhelms her and changes her life in a way that she could never have predicted.Although she is highly intelligent, resourceful and engaging, Sally finds it difficult to forge relationships (even with her twin sister) and to develop a sense of who she is. This is essentially a story of Sally’s search for identity and of how she copes with the many misunderstandings, misjudgments and deceptions which assail her on her journey through life – a journey which, with the assistance of her penchant for wordplay and her pre-occupation with names, Sally is, nonetheless, able to take with good humour and fortitude.
