        Cops

        Roman

        by Matt Burgess, Johann Christoph Maass

        »Cops ist eines dieser Bücher, die süchtig machen und von denen man sich wünscht, sie würden nie enden.« Richard Price »Cops ist die mythenumwobene sechste Staffel von ›The Wire‹, nach der wir uns alle sehnen.« Charles Bock »Matt Burgess gehört zu diesen coolen, schlagfertigen Autoren wie Richard Price und Elmore Leonard, die eine vermeintlich einfache Krimihandlung in etwas ganz Besonderes verwandeln.« Carl Hiaasen Janice Itwaru arbeitet als Undercover-Cop in Queens, New York. Jeden Morgen geht sie als Junkie getarnt auf die Straße und versucht, vermeintliche Dealer dazu zu bringen, ihr Drogen zu verkaufen. Wenn sie Erfolg hat, schlagen ihre Kollegen zu. Hat sie keinen, machen ihre Vorgesetzten Druck. Hat sie richtig Pech, dann war’s der letzte Tag im Leben von Janice Itwaru. Diesen Job will niemand freiwillig machen. Doch wenn Janice achtzehn Monate durchhält, wartet eine Beförderung auf sie. Der Weg dahin ist hart: Die Kollegen sind die Pest, die Vorgesetzten stellen völlig unrealistische Zielvorgaben, und ständig drohen interne Ermittlungen gegen die Abteilung. Als die Fangquote erhöht wird und Janice immer seltener Erfolge vorzuweisen hat, geht sie volles Risiko – auch wenn sie befürchten muss, dass ein fieser Gangster, der noch eine Rechnung mit ihr offen hat, hinter ihr her ist.

        Classic of Mountains and Rivers for Teenagers, Book I

        A Thousand Miles of Mountains and Rivers

        by Liu Xingshi

        The Classic of Mountains and Rivers, also known as Shan Hai Jing, has been regarded as a "strange book" since its appearance in China pre-Qin Dynasty. On the basis of its title, most people would assume that it is a survey record of ancient geography, but its descriptions of the "mountains and rivers" include encyclopedic entries—such as animals, plants, minerals, religion, history, medicine, customs, and ethnic groups. Also, it gives accounts of many folk legends of mythic geography, monsters, and witchcraft. No matter labeled as a book of geography, a book of history, or a book of strange stories, it is a Chinese ancient classic that deserves to be read over and over again.   But as a book compiled about 2,500 to 3,000 years ago, its context and words are difficult to understand for modern readers. The Classic of Mountains and Rivers for Teenagers series is just designed to make this classic more understandable and readable. It illustrates the most essential parts of the Classic of Mountains and Rivers with simple words, animated illustrations, and interdisciplinary approaches, and introduces young readers to the understandings of Chinese ancestors on land and nature. Not only is it a book series for teenagers, but also an encyclopedia of traditional Chinese geography and culture for adults.   The series contains three books, and A Thousand Miles of Mountains and Rivers is the first one. It briefly introduces the creation process and main contributors of the Classic of Mountains and Rivers, and tells stories about geography in ancient China including mountains, rivers, creatures, and minerals as well as the plain but vital spirit for scientific discovery of Chinese ancestors.

        Victorian touring actresses

        Crossing boundaries and negotiating the cultural landscape

        by Janice Norwood

        Victorian touring actresses brings new attention to women's experience of working in nineteenth-century theatre by focusing on a diverse group of largely forgotten 'mid-tier' performers, rather than the usual celebrity figures. It examines how actresses responded to changing political, economic and social circumstances and how the women were themselves agents of change. Their histories reveal dynamic patterns of activity within the theatrical industry and expose its relationship to wider Victorian culture. With an innovative organisation mimicking the stages of an actress's life and career, the volume draws on new archival research and plentiful illustrations to examine the challenges and opportunities facing the women as they toured both within the UK and further afield in North America and Australasia. It will appeal to students and researchers in theatre and performance history, Victorian studies, gender studies and transatlantic studies.
