        Darin Dance started his own publishing and photography business in 2014: The Bach Doctor Press after researching and taking photographs for many book projects while working collaboratively with fellow Ngāi Tahu writers.  He firmly believes that with the retrenchment of the main publishing houses back to Australia, America and Europe, our remarkable “Kiwi” voices and stories will be lost and unheard unless new publishing ventures are prepared to fill this void.  This has become his mission to promote our unique kōrero and pakiwaitara (stories and legends).

        The Barefoot Doctor

        by Can Xue

        The novel tells of the story about the growth of a barefoot doctor in a village. By means of the experiences of Sister Yi the barefoot doctor, Mi Yi, Hui Ju and other characters, the author manages to expose the real dependence relationship between man and nature, and between man and man, so as to construct a new kind of relationship in the future world from a brand-new perspective with lots of astounding descriptions. The scenes depicted in the novel belong to the future world, the plots, however, firmly stick to the reality. Thus the real and free conceptions in the novel are both down-to-earth and overwhelmingly shocking, from which every ordinary reader can find resonance and gain strength for life in it. Once again, the outlook of philosophy and nature of Can Xue has delicately and simply stood out in the novel in a literary way.

        »Wie wunderbar sind deine Werke«

        by Michael Maul

        „Wie wunderbar sind deine Werke“ – Eine Liebeserklärung an die Musik des Thomaskantors BachJohann Sebastian Bachs 300 Jahre alte Kirchenmusik begeistert heute Musikfreunde auf der ganzen Welt. Der bekannte Bachforscher Michael Maul, Intendant des Leipziger Bachfestes, bietet mit seinem neuen Buch eine fundierte und zugleich gut verständliche 'Gebrauchsanweisung' für die Musik des berühmten Leipziger Thomaskantors. Er staunt anschaulich über atemberaubende Momente in Bachs Kantaten, Passionen oder der h-Moll-Messe, und er lässt in seinen sehr persönlichen Monologen mit Bach den Entstehungskontext der Werke und die oft verblüffenden Zusammenhänge zwischen Text und Musik - und manchmal auch Biographie - lebendig werden. Zugleich deckt Maul auf, warum Bach alsbald an seiner "wunderlichen Obrigkeit" verzweifelte, er die zunächst unbändige Lust auf das Komponieren von Kirchenmusik nach fünf Jahren im Thomaskantorat fast gänzlich verlor und sich mehr und mehr in eine innere Emigration zurückzog. Kurz: Mauls neues Buch ist eine ebenso glühende wie berührende Liebeserklärung an seinen Komponisten-Gott. Sie verfolgt vor allem ein Ziel: bei den Leserinnen und Lesern Lust zu wecken, sich Bachs Werke anzuhören. Zahlreiche Abbildungen und eine bei Spotify abrufbare Playlist ergänzen den Band und machen ihn zu einem Geschenkbuch für alle Musikliebhaber.

        The renewal of post-war Manchester

        Planning, architecture and the state

        by Richard Brook

        A compelling account of the project to transform post-war Manchester, revealing the clash between utopian vision and compromised reality. Urban renewal in Britain was thrilling in its vision, yet partial and incomplete in its implementation. For the first time, this deep study of a renewal city reveals the complex networks of actors behind physical change and stagnation in post-war Britain. Using the nested scales of region, city and case-study sites, the book explores the relationships between Whitehall legislation, its interpretation by local government planning officers and the on-the-ground impact through urban architectural projects. Each chapter highlights the connections between policy goals, global narratives and the design and construction of cities. The Cold War, decolonialisation, rising consumerism and the oil crisis all feature in a richly illustrated account of architecture and planning in post-war Manchester.

        Qualities of food

        by Mark Harvey, Andrew McMeekin, Alan Warde

        In this book, the complexity and the significance of the foods we eat are analysed from a variety of perspectives, by sociologists, economists, geographers and anthropologists. Chapters address a number of intriguing questions: how do people make judgments about taste? How do such judgments come to be shared by groups of people?; what social and organisational processes result in foods being certified as of decent or proper quality? How has dissatisfaction with the food system been expressed? What alternatives are thought to be possible? The multi-disciplinary analysis of this book explores many different answers to such questions. The first part of the book focuses on theoretical and conceptual issues, the second part considers processes of formal and informal regulation, while the third part examines social and political responses to industrialised food production and mass consumption. Qualities of food will be of interest to researchers and students in all the social science disciplines that are concerned with food, whether marketing, sociology, cultural studies, anthropology, human nutrition or economics.
