September 2021Kamala Harris
Ein Porträt
by Marie-Astrid Langer
Im suffragettenweißen Anzug tritt Kamala Harris am 7. November 2020 auf die Bühne in Wilmington, Delaware, als erste Vizepräsidentin der Vereinigten Staaten. Ihre Worte gehen um die Welt, sie selbst wird zur Ikone … Die US-Korrespondentin Marie-Astrid Langer gibt Einblick in die entscheidenden Momente auf dem Lebensweg von der Einwanderertochter zur mächtigsten Schwarzen Frau in Washington. Ihre Mutter aus Indien, ihr Vater aus Jamaika, beide zum Studieren in das Land der unbegrenzten Möglichkeiten gekommen, beide in der Bürgerrechtsbewegung aktiv, und so bekommt Kamala Harris den Kampf für Gleichberechtigung vom ersten Tag an in die Wiege gelegt. Als Grenzgängerin zwischen der harten Realität der Schwarzen Communities und den linken Eliten Kaliforniens entwickelt sie früh ihr politisches Denken, ihr Engagement, ihren Ehrgeiz. Und mit einer Vision von Freiheit, Toleranz und Gerechtigkeit, tief geprägt von der afroamerikanischen Geschichte, macht sie sich an einen unvergleichlichen Aufstieg, der mehr als einmal an den Widersprüchen und Ungleichheiten eines Landes zu scheitern droht.

MedicineJanuary 2025Nursing the English from plague to Peterloo, 1665-1820
by Alannah Tomkins
This book studies the negative stereotypes around the women who worked as sick nurses in this period and contrasts them with the lived experience of both domestic and institutional nursing staff. Furthermore, it integrates nursing by men into the broader history of care as a constant if little-recognised presence. It finds that women and men undertook caring work to the best of their ability, and often performed well, despite multiple threats to nurse reputations on the grounds of gender norms and social status. Chapters consider nursing in the home, in general hospitals, in specialist institutions like the Royal Chelsea Hospital and asylums, plus during wartime, illuminated by multiple accounts of individual nurses. In these settings, it employs the sociological concept of 'dirty work' to contextualise the challenges to nurses and nursing identities.

The ArtsJanuary 2019Bertrand Blier
by Sue Harris
The most complete study of Blier's work to date, Harris traces the director's career from the early 1960s until the present. Outlines the forms, themes and style which dominate in Blier's work, and challenges the many labels that have been used to describe both the corpus of films and the man himself. Provides an original and controversial discussion of Blier's alleged 'misogyny', and invites the reader to understand the scatological and corporeal aspects of Blier's filmmaking in terms of long-established traditions of popular dramatic culture. Brings to light the comic mechanisms underpinning Blier's films and identifies strategies which navigate through one of the most entertaining and disconcerting bodies of work of recent years. The first book on Blier published in English.

Humanities & Social SciencesMay 2025The Jewish pedlar
An untold criminal history
by Tony Kushner
An imaginative investigation into a historical crime that sheds new light on Jewish history. In 1734 a pedlar turned smuggler named Jacob Harris slit the throats of three people in a pub in Sussex. This triple-murder, for which he was hanged and gibbeted, remains the most violent crime ever committed by a British Jew. Yet today it is all but forgotten. In The Jewish pedlar, Tony Kushner goes in search of the enigmatic Harris. Digging into a remarkable range of sources, from law records and newspaper reports to ballads and folktales, he follows the traces of Harris's legend across three hundred years of British history. In doing so, he reconstructs the world of Jewish pedlars and criminals across many continents. The lives these figures eked out at the margins of society paint a picture of persistent antisemitism - but also of remarkable integration. Intellectually bold and deeply humane, The Jewish pedlar takes a new, grassroots approach to the history of Jews in the modern world, shedding light on everyday lives from the Enlightenment to the Holocaust and beyond.

Humanities & Social SciencesJune 2015Men, ideas and tanks
British military thought and armoured forces, 1903?39
by J. P. Harris
Men, ideas and tanks reviews the development of British military ideas on armoured forces from 1903 to 1939. Great Britain was the nation which first developed the tank, first used it in action and first gained dramatic results by employment. The British continued to be world leaders in the field of mechanised warfare until the early 1930s. J. P. Harris offers strikingly new interpretations of the early history of British armoured forces and explains why Great Britain had lost the lead by the outbreak of the Second World War. Available in paperback once more, this work will be of interest to all those concerned with British military history in the first half of the twentieth century, with the history of mechanised warfare and with the history of military thought. ;

May 2021Follow Me in China:The bridges of China
by Hong Hong Luobo
This is a set of geography science picture book, showing the geographic concept of China's vast territory, with a route that can reflect the different topography, customs and people with strong characteristics to show. The illustrations of each geographical node show the natural landscape, architectural features, and humanistic characteristics associated with this geographical node; the beautiful illustrations and warm images depict the magnificent rivers, mountains, and plains and deserts of China, giving readers a visual feast while increasing their knowledge of geographic science. This set of books starts from "Follow me in China", which can well attract the readers' exploration psychology, and the process of exploration together can subconsciously increase children's science knowledge about topography and landforms. Readers can follow the steps of the protagonist, visit the natural and humanistic landscapes of different regions, learn interesting knowledge about geography, and try unique games. The travel route chosen in this book is to step on bridges, from ancient bridges to modern bridges, telling the history of the development of Chinese bridges and presenting the unique and creative ways of buidling bridges across mountains and rivers.

January 2022Plague, Third Edition
by Donald Emmeluth, Ed.D.
Plague has erupted periodically throughout most of human history. The plague bacterium, Yersinia pestis, is transmitted by fleas found on many common mammals and through the air as victims develop respiratory symptoms and suffer from coughing spells. This easy transmission has made plague responsible for some of the highest death rates from any epidemic disease in history. Plague, Third Edition examines the disease from an epidemiological perspective. Studies of the historical European plague outbreaks, known as the Black Death, examine the role animals play in the spread of disease and the human cost of such a widespread outbreak. This revised edition includes new photographs and illustrations as well as updated statistics on modern plague outbreaks in the American southwest. Chapters include: Historical Overview Causes of the Plague Animal Plague Vectors Diagnosis Treatment Prevention The Problems of Antibiotic Resistance Concerns for the Future Hopes for the Future.

The ArtsJune 2022Transmodern
An art history of contact, 1920–60
by Christian Kravagna, Marsha Meskimmon, Amelia Jones,
How can we reconfigure our picture of modern art after the postcolonial turn without simply adding regional art histories to the Eurocentric canon? Transmodern examines the global dimension of modern art by tracing the crossroads of different modernisms in Asia, Europe and the Americas. Featuring case studies in Indian modernism, the Harlem Renaissance and post-war abstraction, it demonstrates the significance of transcultural contacts between artists from both sides of the colonial divide. The book argues for the need to study non-western avant-gardes and Black avant-gardes within the west as transmodern counter-currents to mainstream modernism. It situates transcultural art practices from the 1920s to the 1960s within the framework of anti-colonial movements and in relation to contemporary transcultural thinking that challenged colonial concepts of race and culture with notions of syncretism and hybridity.

Humanities & Social Sciences2020Bridges Instead of Walls, or What Unites Ukrainians?
by Tetiana Teren
In this collection of essays, twenty Ukrainian intellectuals reflect on the phenomenon of social bridges and walls. Why do they both exist? Do bridges always bring understanding? Or do they perhaps sometimes allow crossing boundaries? Do walls necessarily separate? Or do they occasionally protect? With whom and how should we build bridges, and from whom shall we isolate by walls? The result of the media project of the Ukrainian branch of the International PEN Club, published in the New Time publication, is now under one cover. On the pages of the book, you will find essays by the following authors: Kateryna Kalytko, Kateryna Botanova, Vakhtang Kebuladze, Zoya Kazanzhy, Ostap Slyvinskyi, Olena Stiazhkina, Larysa Denysenko, Myroslava Barchuk, Viktoriya Amelina, Vitaliy Ponomariov, Vasyl Makhno, Volodymyr Rafeenko, Mykola Riabchuk, Volodymyr Yermolenko, Svitlana Pyrkalo, Borys Gudziak, Ihor Isichenko, Halyna Vdovychenko, Pavlo Kazarin, Vitaliy Portnykov.
