        DIE LIEBE GEHT

        by Edna Buchman

        DIE LIEBE GEHT von Edna Buchman Edna Buchman schildert in ihrem Buch unterhaltsame traurige ebenso wie glückliche Anekdoten, die jeder Frau nur allzu bekannt sind. Der erste Teil des Buches beschreibt Situationen zwischen Frauen und Männern, die sich tatsächlich zugetragen haben, und solche, die sich so hätten abspielen können... Männer aus der Sicht einer Frau, von ihr geprüft mit kritischem Blick und gewinnendem Humor. Der zweite Teil besteht aus sehr persönlichen, enthüllenden Geschichten: über eine Kindheit in einem Haus, in dem nichts fehlte außer einer streichelnden Hand, über den ewigen Kampf gegen das Übergewicht und über Essen als Kompensation für fehlende Liebe. Den Abschluss bildet schließlich eine Auswahl von Texten ganz anderer Art – reif, versöhnlich, nahezu glücklich. Die natürliche Menschlichkeit dieser Lyriksammlung wird mit Sicherheit das Herz jeder Frau gewinnen, und wahrscheinlich auch die Herzen nicht weniger Männer... Edna Buchman wurde als Tochter deutschsprachiger Eltern geboren, die 1939 nach Israel immigrierten. Sie gehört zur dritten Generation einer Textilfabrikantenfamilie und wurde in Israel, der Schweiz und England aufgezogen. »Edna Buchmans Wenn die Liebe geht beleuchtet die emotionalen Fallstricke und die typische Dynamik romantischer Zweierbeziehungen auf poetische Weise… Sie wirft einen scharfen Blick auf das Gefühlsleben einer Frau bei ihren Begegnungen mit Männern, fein beobachtet und mit einer kräftigen Prise Feminismus. Es ist gut geschrieben – mit Einfühlungsvermögen, unterschwelligem Humor und einigen überraschenden Wendungen.«

        When love has wandered off

        by Edna Buchman

        When love has wandered off by Edna Buchman Edna Buchman's work will immediately inspire its readers. These texts are simply amusing or sad anecdotes, of the kind known all too well to every woman. The first part of the book focuses on situations between women and men, some of which actually happened and others that almost did… Men analyzed from a woman's perspective, examined by her critical eye, frankly and with appealing humor. The second part of the book consists of very personal, revealing stories: childhood spent in a home where the only thing missing was a caressing hand; the eternal struggle against overweight caused by overeating, as a compensation for the lack of love. The book concludes with a selection of texts of a different nature, dealing with coming of age, forgiveness, and happiness. The natural humanity of this lyrical collection will win the heart of every woman, and probably of quite a few men as well…  Edna Buchman was born in Israel to German-speaking parents; the family immigrated to Israel in 1939. She is the third generation of a textile-manufacturing family, and was educated in Israel, Switzerland and England. The author drew her inspiration from personal observations of the lives of her friends... single, married, divorced and widowed. "A book like Edna Buchmann’s Die Wandernde Liebe will certainly speak to a fair amount of people, since it describes poetically some of the emotional pitfalls and typical dynamics between romantically involved couples… Just the emotional ups and downs of a woman in her romantic encounters, sharply observed, with a hefty pinch of feminism. It is well written, quite sensitively, with some subtle humor and some nice, unexpected turns."              Matthias Schossig, a noted German-English translator, California.

        Quantifying Diets of Wildlife and Fish

        Practical and Applied Methods

        by Michael Calver, Neil Loneragan

        Quantifying Diets of Wildlife and Fish presents different techniques available to study animal diets. Ecologists determine animal diets to build natural history knowledge, test hypotheses in ecological theory and make informed management decisions for important ecosystems. Many researchers use techniques traditionally applied to the animals they study, rather than choose from the techniques with greatest potential for their study. In an effort to encourage researchers to consider new approaches, this book focuses on the techniques, rather than on particular groups of organisms or specific environments. With contributions from leading ecologists, chapters explore experimental design, observational techniques (including new technologies), stomach contents and faecal analysis, eDNA, tracers and stable isotopes. They also cover the latest multivariate methods of analyses suitable for describing animal diets and feeding relationships, as well as testing hypotheses relevant to ecological theory, environmental management and biological conservation. The expert knowledge provided will encourage readers to look beyond the boundaries of their specialties, assist in testing important hypotheses and provide insights into management problems. The examples in this book cover a range of vertebrates and invertebrates, as well as different environments, to open these methods up for novice ecologists and stimulate lateral thinking in more experienced researchers.

        Contemporary British poetry and the city

        by Peter Barry, Kim Latham

        Though poets have always written about cities, the commonest critical categories (pastoral poetry, nature poetry, Romantic poetry, Georgian poetry, etc.) have usually stressed the rural, so that poetry can seem irrelevant to a predominantly urban populati. Explores a range of contemporary poets who visit the 'mean streets' of the contemporary urban scene, seeking the often cacophonous music of what happens here. Poets discussed include: Ken Smith, Iain Sinclair, Roy Fisher, Edwin Morgan, Sean O'Brien, Ciaran Carson, Peter Reading, Matt Simpson, Douglas Houston, Deryn Rees-Jones, Denise Riley, Ken Edwards, Levi Tafari, Aidan Hun, and Robert Hampson. Approaches contemporary poetry within a broad spectrum of personal, social, literary, and cultural concerns. Includes 'loco-specific' chapters, on cities including Hull, Liverpool, London, and Birmingham, with an additional chapter on 'post-industrial' cities such as Belfast, Glasgow and Dundee. ;

        Race, nation and empire

        Making histories, 1750 to the present

        by Catherine Hall, Keith McClelland, Julian Hoppit

        The essays in this collection show how histories written in the past, in different political times, dealt with, considered, or avoided and disavowed Britain's imperial role and issues of difference. Ranging from enlightenment historians to the present, these essays consider both individual historians, including such key figures as E. A. Freeman, G. M. Trevelyan and Keith Hancock, and also broader themes such as the relationship between liberalism, race and historiography and how we might re-think British history in the light of trans-national, trans-imperial and cross-cultural analysis. 'Britishness' and what 'British' history is have become major cultural and political issues in our time. But as these essays demonstrate, there is no single national story: race, empire and difference have pulsed through the writing of British history. The contributors include some of the most distinguished historians writing today: C. A. Bayly, Antoinette Burton, Saul Dubow, Geoff Eley, Theodore Koditschek, Marilyn Lake, John M. MacKenzie, Karen O'Brien, Sonya O. Rose, Bill Schwarz, Kathleen Wilson. ;

        Civilisation and nineteenth-century art

        A European concept in global context

        by O'Brien

        Over the course of the long nineteenth century, Civilisation was the subject of some of the most prominent public mural paintings and sculptures in Europe and the United States, especially those that speculated on the direction of history. It also underpinned Western depictions of non-Western societies and evaluations of social progress and artistic excellence. The essays in this volume explore the ways in which the idea of Civilisation acted as a lens through which Europeans and Americans represented themselves and others, how this concept reshaped understandings of historical and artistic development, and also how it changed and was put to new uses as the century progressed. This collection will prove invaluable to students and academics in both history and art history.
