Those interested in the lives of medieval and early modern women, changes in culture, the effect of the political upon individuals, and the inspiring life of Anne Clifford will find this a rich and rewarding book.

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2013The annals of St-Bertin
Ninth-century histories, volume I
by Janet L. Nelson
The Annals of St-Bertin, covering the years 830 to 882, are the main narrative source for the Carolingian world in the ninth century. This richly-annotated translation by a leading British specialist makes these Carolingian histories accessible in English for the first time, encouraging readers to reassess and evaluate a crucially formative period of European history. Produced in the 830s in the imperial palace of Louis the Pious, The Annals of St-Bertin were continued away from the Court, first by Bishop Prudentius of Troyes, then by the great scholar-politician Archbishop Hinemar of Rheims. The authors' distinctive voices and interests give the work a personal tone rarely found in medieval annals. They also contain uniquely detailed information on Carolingian politics, especially the reign of the West Frankish king, Charles the Bald (840-877). No other source offers so much evidence on the Continental activities of the Vikings. Janet L. Nelson offers in this volume both an entrée to a crucial Carolingian source and an introduction to the historical setting of teh Annals and possible ways of reading the evidence. The Annals of St-Bertin will be valuable reading for academics, research students and undergraduates in medieval history, archaeology and medieval languages. It will also fascinate any general reader with an interest in the development of European culture and society.

November 2008Meines Vaters Liebling
Roman
by Carole L. Glickfeld, Mirjam Pressler
Der wichtigste Mann im Leben eines Mädchens ist – häufig genug – ihr Vater. Schwierig, wenn es sich dabei um einen launischen Patriarchen handelt, der auch vor Prügeln nicht zurückschreckt. Noch schwieriger, wenn man erst neun Jahre alt ist und sein erklärter Liebling. Wie weit würde man gehen, um die Familie – die älteren Geschwister, die strenge, aber fürsorgliche Mutter – vor dem eigenen Vater in Schutz zu nehmen? Ruthie Zimmer meistert ihre Kindheit in einem der weniger glamourösen Viertel Manhattans mit Intelligenz und wacher Neugierde. Zwanzig Jahre später, als erwachsene Frau, kehrt sie dorthin zurück und wagt sich an die Auseinandersetzung mit den alten Erinnerungen und mit ihrem schwierigen, geliebten Vater. Temperamentvoll und mit warmherzigem Humor erzählt Carole L. Glickfeld, die Autorin des Erfolgsromans Herzweh, von einer Familie im New York der fünfziger Jahre, vor allem aber von einer Beziehung zwischen Tochter und Vater, die trotz aller dramatischen Spannungen unauflöslich scheint.

Is the Brain Rational?
The Findings of a Neuropsychologist
by L. Jäncke
This book takes the reader on a fascinating journey, demonstrating in an understandable and entertaining way how the brain affects our thoughts, actions, and feelings - and that this sometimes only peripherally involves reason. It shows, that the subconscious actually exists and how it affects us, how we arrive at both right and wrong decisions, how our memory works, how fragile it can be, and yet also how robust. Using insightful experiments and the latest research results, including many examples, this book presents the reader what an incredibly impressive thinking organ the brain actually is – even if it is not a purely “rational machine”. Target Group: For people interested in the results of research into the workings of the brain in the areas of decision-making, memory, and consciousness.

May 2024Breed Differences in Dog Behavior
Why Tails Wag Differently
by Renee L Ha, Tracy L Brad, James C Ha
Humans have bred dogs for physical and behavioral characteristics for millennia. These efforts can have unintended side effects, however, which may be either advantageous or cause issues - such as a predisposition to certain medical complaints, or, controversially, behavioural issues. The scientific study of domestic dogs is still in its infancy, but public demand for this information is at a record high as more and more pet owners seek to understand their canine family members. Focusing on the behavioral differences and tendencies that have arisen in different breed lines, this book explores, summarizes, and explains the scientific evidence on what breed can tell us about behaviour - and, crucially, what it cannot. This book covers: - the impact of inbreeding, how it contributes to problematic behavioral issues such as anxiety and aggression, and how it potentially affects the future health of the breed; - the limits of predicting a dog's behavior based upon breed, individual differences within breeds, and thus the corresponding limitations of breed-specific legislation; - guidance for professionals to help their clients better understand behavioral issues, traits, and appropriate expectations around the right breed for their household. Providing a comprehensive and approachable view of the science behind breed-specific behaviors, this book gives dog enthusiasts from all professional and personal backgrounds a better understanding of why dogs do what they do, and how we can improve our relationships with our canine companions. Covering genetics, phylogeny of canids, temperament, aggression, social behavior, and the history of dog breeding, it is an important read for researchers, students, veterinary practitioners and animal behaviourists, as well as shelter staff, dog trainers, or anyone looking for a greater understanding of dog breed differences.
