by Joseph A. Angelo, Jr.
This eBook describes the rise of telescopic astronomy in Western Europe, the early 17th century, and the emergence of the Scientific Revolution.

July 2015Lauras letzte Party
Roman | Ein düsterer Psychothriller aus Skandinavien
by J. K. Johansson, Elina Kritzokat
„Vermisst. Die 16-jährige Laura Anderson wurde zuletzt am 13.8. um 23 Uhr am Strand von Palokaski gesehen, wo sie mit Freunden eine Party feierte. Laura ist schlank, mittelgroß, hat blaue Augen und schwarz gefärbte Haare. Sie trug eine enge weiße Jeans und eine rosa Karobluse und Turnschuhe.“ „Mia ging auf das weiße f auf blauem Grund. Keine Fotos. Keine neuen Kommentare oder Likes. Aber eine Nachricht. Und im selben Moment wusste sie, dass sie keine Sekunde mehr schlafen würde. Die Nachricht kam von Johanna und war kurz: Laura ist tot.“ Mia Pohjavirta musste ihren Polizei-Job für Ermittlung in sozialen Netzwerken wegen ihrer Internet-Sucht an den Nagel hängen. Als Sonderpädagogin ist sie jetzt an ihre alte Schule und damit in ihre Heimatstadt zurückkehrt. Es soll endlich Ruhe in ihr Leben einkehren. Aber am ersten Schultag nach den Ferien macht es schnell die Runde: die 16jährige Schülerin Laura Anderson ist verschwunden. Ihre Eltern richten in ihrer Verzweiflung auf der Suche nach ihrer Tochter eine Facebook Seite ein und lösen damit einen wahren Shitstorm aus. Von Satanskult, Drogen und Sadomaso-Spielen ist die Rede, jemand will Laura in Amsterdam gesichtet haben. Jeder hat seine eigene Theorie, wo Laura steckt, aber am meisten scheint Mias Bruder Niklas zu wissen, der als Psychologe an der Schule arbeitet. Der Sommer, der für Mia so strahlend und hoffnungsvoll begann, wird zum düsteren Albtraum. Teil eins der Palokaski-Trilogie. Wenn »Gone Girl« und »Twin Peaks« aufeinandertreffen...

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2020The life–cycle in Western Europe, c.1300–c.1500
by S. H. Rigby, Deborah Youngs
This is the first study to examine the entire life cycle in the Middle Ages. Drawing on a wide range of secondary and primary material, the book explores the timing and experiences of infancy, childhood, adolescence and youth, adulthood, old age and, finally, death. It discusses attitudes towards ageing, rites of passage, age stereotypes in operation, and the means by which age was used as a form of social control, compelling individuals to work, govern, marry and pay taxes. The wide scope of the study allows contrasts and comparisons to be made across gender, social status and geographical location. It considers whether men and women experienced the ageing process in the same way, and examines the differences that can be discerned between northern and southern Europe. The fourteenth and fifteenth centuries suffered famine, warfare, plague and population collapse. This fascinating consideration of the life cycle adds a new dimension to the debate over continuity and change in a period of social and demographic upheaval.

Humanities & Social SciencesJune 2020In the shadow of Enoch Powell
Race, locality and resistance
by Shirin Hirsch, John Solomos
Fifty years ago Enoch Powell made national headlines with his 'Rivers of Blood' speech, warning of an immigrant invasion in the once respectable streets of Wolverhampton. This local fixation brought the Black Country town into the national spotlight, yet Powell's unstable relationship with Wolverhampton has since been overlooked. Drawing from interviews and archival material, this book offers a rich local history through which to investigate the speech, bringing to life the racialised dynamics of space during a critical moment in British history. What was going on beneath the surface in Wolverhampton and how did Powell's constituents respond to this dramatic moment? The research traces the ways in which Powell's words reinvented the town and uncovers highly contested local responses. While Powell left Wolverhampton in 1974, the book returns to the city to explore the collective memories of the speech which continue to reverberate. In a contemporary period of new crisis and national divisions, revisiting the shadow of Powell allows us to reflect on racism and resistance from 1968 to today.
