April 2013Die Gute Gesellschaft
Soziale und demokratische Politik im 21. Jahrhundert
by Christian Kellermann, Henning Meyer
Als Ferdinand Lassalle im Mai 1863 den Allgemeinen Deutschen Arbeiterverein gründete, tat er dies noch in einer anderen Welt. 150 Jahre später kann die deutsche Sozialdemokratie große Erfolge vorweisen. Angesichts der Globalisierung, Individualisierung und des Wandels der Arbeitswelt steht sie jedoch vor komplexen Herausforderungen, für die sie überzeugende Antworten entwickeln muss. In diesem Band denken kluge Köpfe aus Wissenschaft und Politik darüber nach, wie eine »Gute Gesellschaft« heute aussehen könnte und auf welchen Wegen sie sich realisieren lässt. Mit Beiträgen von Sebastian Dullien, Colin Crouch, Andrea Nahles, Julian Nida-Rümelin, Gesine Schwan u. v. a.

September 2023Ali Baba und die vierzig Räuber
by Burkhard Neie, Enno Littmann
Diese Geschichte ist weltbekannt: Der arme Holzfäller Ali Baba, der, im dichten Geäst verborgen, das geheime Codewort »Sesam, öffne dein Tor!« einer Räuberbande mit angehört hat, findet in der Felsenhöhle deren »Schätze«: Teppiche, Gewänder, Goldmünzen und Edelsteine. Um seine bescheidenen Verhältnisse zu verbessern, nimmt er einige der Goldstücke mit nach Hause. Doch die Räuber kommen ihm auf die Spur und Ali Baba kann sich nur mit Hilfe seiner schlauen Dienerin Mardschana retten. Das Märchen gehört zu den berühmtesten Erzählungen Scheharazades aus Tausendundeiner Nacht. Der Illustrator und Buchgestalter Burkhard Neie hat sich des klassischen Textes für die Insel-Bücherei angenommen und eine Ausgabe geschaffen, die so prächtig ist, dass sie selbst in der Bibliothek einer Königin stehen könnte!

November 2000Yann Andréa Steiner
by Marguerite Duras, Andrea Spingler
Sommer 1980. Die Geschichte »zwischen dem sehr jungen Yann Andréa Steiner und dieser Frau, die Bücher machte und die alt war und allein wie er« beginnt in Trouville. Behutsam skizziert Duras die aufkeimende Liebe, die den Tod von Anfang an in sich birgt. Parallel dazu erzählt sie von der unmöglichen Liebe zwischen dem kleinen Samuel Steiner und seiner Betreuerin Johanna Goldberg. Samuels Schwester wurde von den Nazis ermordet, seine Eltern deportiert. Yann Andréa wird zu Yann Andréa Steiner, und nicht allein der gemeinsame Name drückt die mythische Verwandtschaft zu Samuel, dem ebenfalls viel jüngeren Geliebten, aus. Duras' Erzählung von ihrer Liebe und der Angst darum schreitet mit dem Rhythmus der Wellen, des Windes und des Regens fort. Die Gespräche mit Yann führen zu einer weiteren Figur: Theodora Kats, eine in den Konzentrationslagern umgekommene junge Frau, deren Geschichte Duras nie hat aufschreiben können. Mir unbeschreiblicher Sogwirkung verknüpft die Duras Fiktion und Realität und macht aus »Yann Andréa Steiner« eine literarische Liebeserklärung an den langjährigen Gefährten.

Über das Warten
by Andrea Köhler
In unendlich vielen Formen sind wir dem Warten ausgeliefert: Man wartet auf andere, auf eine Antwort, auf den Richtigen, auf den Befund, auf eine Nachricht, auf das Ende der Schmerzen, auf die Sportergebnisse, auf das Ende des Regens, auf den nächsten Tag, auf die Geburt des Kindes ... Andrea Köhler beobachtet und beschreibt, welche Tücken, Glücksmomente oder Überraschungen in Situationen des Wartens, der Pause und der Langsamkeit stecken. Sie verschafft dem Warten einen Raum, der so viel reicher und weiter ist als der, den ihm die Notwendigkeit beimißt.

Humanities & Social SciencesSeptember 2010Photography and memory in Mexico
Icons of Revolution
by Andrea Noble
Photography and memory in Mexico traces the 'life stories' of some of the famous photographic images made during the 1910 revolution, which have been repeatedly reproduced across a range of media in its aftermath. Which photographs have become icons of the revolution and why these particular images and not others? What is the relationship between photography and memory of the conflict? How do we construct a critical framework for addressing the issues raised by iconic photographs? Placing an emphasis on the life, afterlife and also the pre-life of those iconic photographs that haunt the post-revolutionary landscape, Andrea Noble approaches them as dynamic objects, where their rhetorical power is derived from a combination of their visual eloquence and their ability to coordinate patterns of identification with the memory of the revolution as a foundational event in Mexican history. Richly-illustrated, this book will be of interest to all those interested in photography, memory studies, and Mexican cultural history. ;

February 2021Zufällige Erfindungen
by Elena Ferrante, Andrea Ucini, Karin Krieger
Elena Ferrante hat ein literarisches Spiel gespielt. Sie hat sich ein Jahr lang, Woche für Woche, vom britischen Guardian eine Liste mit allen erdenklichen Themen schicken lassen, sie hat sich dann eines ausgesucht und spontan darüber geschrieben. Zufällige Erfindungen versammelt die 52 erstaunlichen Kolumnen, die auf diese Weise entstanden sind: Es geht um erste Liebe, um Klimawandel, es geht darum, wie misslich es ist, fotografiert zu werden, was es bedeutet, wenn die eigenen Bücher verfilmt werden, es geht um die Frage, warum man Partys eigentlich immer als Letzte verlässt – und ob es eine Formel für Lebensglück gibt. Elena Ferrante ist »eine der größten Romanschriftstellerinnen unserer Zeit« (New York Times), und sie beherrscht auch die kurzen Formen meisterhaft. Zufällige Erfindungen, das sind suggestive Stücke voller Witz, Hintersinn und beiläufiger Erleuchtungen – wunderbar illustriert von Andrea Ucini.

Insecticide & herbicide technologyAugust 1996Illustrations of Quarantine Pests for Europe
by Edited by I M Smith, Anne S Roy
This book is a companion volume to Quarantine Pests for Europe, published originally in 1992 by the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization (EPPO) and CAB INTERNATIONAL (CABI) for the European Union. The previous book provides information on identity, hosts, geographical distribution, biology, detection and identification, means of movement and dispersal, pest significance, phytosanitary measures and a bibliography for all the quarantine pests listed by EPPO and the European Union, but does not contain any illustrations. A second edition of Quarantine Pests for Europe will be published at the end of 1996. The present book contains approximately 400 colour illustrations, most of them new in relation to the very first illustrations of the EPPO Data Sheets which appeared in Bulletin OEPP/EPPO Bulletin in the 1980s. The book covers most of the quarantine pests listed by EPPO and the European Union, including those which have been added to the quarantine lists since 1992. Thus it will be compatible with the second edition of the volume of text data sheets. The quarantine pests concerned are either not present in the Euro-Mediterranean region, or only present to a limited extent and submitted to official control measures. The sequence of presentation is as for the text volume, i.e. insects, nematodes, fungi, bacteria, viruses, parasitic plants. Within each chapter, the pest illustrations appear in alphabetical order. An index including scientific names and synonyms is included at the end of the book. Accompanying text is presented in both English and French. Although it has not been possible to illustrate every listed quarantine pest, this book provides a unique collection that will help phytosanitary inspectors, plant health officers, and others working in the field of plant quarantine, or plant protection in general, to recognize and identify quarantine pests. The book is published by EPPO in association with CABI, and is available for sale exclusively through CABI.

August 2017Cultural Perplexity in Agonized Travel (ultimate revised edition with illustrations)
by Yu Qiuyu
Cultural Perplexity in Agonized Travel is the salable classic cultural prose of Yu Qiuyu, which was first published in 1992. From then, Yu has painstakingly modified and rewritten this book in subsequent republications during the last 25 years. Cultural Perplexity in Agonized Travel (ultimate revised edition with illustrations), published by Hunan Literature and Art Publishing House, has went through lots of supplement and revise on the basis of the old versions. The most vital revise is deleting the fourth part "Life Journey", adding several significant articles in Mountain Home Notes, and increasing 23 illustrations. This version is examined and approved by Yu Qiuyu himself. Several articles in the book have been selected into the Chinese textbooks of middle school.

Media studiesJune 2014Show me the money
The image of finance, 1700 to the present
by Edited by Paul Crosthwaite, Peter Knight and Nicky Marsh
What does money really stand for? How can the abstractions of high finance be made visible? Show me the money documents how the financial world has been imagined in art, illustration, photography and other visual media over the last three centuries in Britain and the United States. It tells the story of how artists have grappled with the increasingly intangible and self-referential nature of money, from the South Sea Bubble to our current crisis. Show me the money sets out the history and politics of representations of finance through five essays by academic experts and curators, and is interspersed with provocative think pieces by notable public commentators on finance and art. The book, and the exhibition on which it is based, explore a wide range of images, from satirical eighteenth-century prints by William Hogarth and James Gillray to works by celebrated contemporary artists such as Andreas Gursky and Molly Crabapple. It also charts the development of an array of financial visualisations, including stock tickers and charts, newspaper illustrations, bank adverts and electronic trading systems.

August 2006Quellen des Wissens
Zum Begriff vernünftiger Erkenntnisfähigkeiten
by Andrea Kern
Wie soll man verstehen, daß jemand, der sich irren kann, gleichwohl etwas wissen kann? Dieses Problem, so die zentrale These dieses Buches, läßt sich nicht lösen, solange man an dem Dogma der Erkenntnistheorie festhält, wonach der Wissensbegriff eine analytische Einheit von Elementen bedeutet, deren Begriffe grundlegender sind als der Begriff des Wissens selbst. Andrea Kern entwirft einen alternativen Wissensbegriff, in dessen Zentrum ein anhand von Aristoteles, Kant und Wittgenstein systematisch entwickelter Begriff der vernünftigen Fähigkeit steht. Wird Wissen als ein Akt vernünftiger Erkenntnisfähigkeit in diesem Sinne verstanden, die ein denkendes Subjekt als solches besitzt, läßt sich auch erklären, wie man sich irren und doch etwas wissen kann.

Children's & YAJanuary 2015Hatless
by Lateefa Buti / Illustrated by Doha Al Khteeb
Kuwaiti children’s book author Lateefa Buti’s well-crafted and beautifully illustrated children’s book, Hatless, encourages children (ages 6-9) to think independently and challenge rigid traditions and fixed rituals with innovation and creativity. The main character is a young girl named Hatless who lives in the City of Hats. Here, all of the people are born with hats that cover their heads and faces. The world inside of their hats is dark, silent, and odorless. Hatless feels trapped underneath her own hat. She wants to take off her hat, but she is afraid, until she realizes that whatever frightening things exist in the world around her are there whether or not she takes off her hat to see them. So Hatless removes her hat. As Hatless takes in the beauty of her surroundings, she cannot help but talk about what she sees, hears, and smells. The other inhabitants of the city ostracize her because she has become different from them. It is not long before they ask her to leave the City of Hats. Rather than giving up or getting angry, Hatless feels sad for her friends and neighbors who are afraid to experience the world outside of their hats. She comes up with an ingenious solution: if given another chance, she will wear a hat as long it is one she makes herself. The people of the City of Hats agree, so Hatless weaves a hat that covers her head and face but does not prevent her from seeing the outside world. She offers to loan the hat to the other inhabitants of the city. One by one, they try it on and are enchanted by the beautiful world around them. Since then, no child has been born wearing a hat. The people celebrate by tossing their old hats in the air. By bravely embracing these values, Hatless improves her own life and the lives of her fellow citizens. Buti’s language is eloquent and clear. She strikes a skilled narrative balance between revealing Hatless’s inner thoughts and letting the story unfold through her interactions with other characters. Careful descriptions are accompanied by beautiful illustrations that reward multiple readings of the book.
