        8 BILLION REASONS POPULATION MATTERS

        The Defining Issue of the 21st Century

        by Valorie M. Allen

        The world is about to hit a population level of EIGHT BILLION people on one small planet. Through Allen’s analysis of the situation, the realization sets in that the fights by environmental and world aid groups are all for naught as every gain is soon overwhelmed by the pressures of more growth. Our planet's greatest threat is of too many people depleting the Earth's resources and contributing to climate change. Allen offers a thorough analysis of our environmental, social, political, and economic crises; then offers a treasure trove of solutions and success stories that we can all take to heart.

        Werke II. Band 3: Auf der Suche nach der verlorenen Zeit 3. Guermantes

        by Marcel Proust, Luzius Keller, Eva Rechel-Mertens, Luzius Keller, Sibylla Laemmel

        "Was Proust mit dem ursprünglich für den ersten Teil seines Romans vorgesehenen Titel, »Le temps perdu«, meinte, erfahrt der Leser in Le côté de Guermantes weit deutlicher als in den beiden vorangehenden Bänden der Recherche. Er folgt den Wegen und Irrwegen des schwärmerisch verliebten und gesellschaftlich ambitiösen Romanhelden durch die Salons des Faubourg Saint-Germain und spürt sozusagen am eigenen Leib, daß es sich um vertane, vertrödelte Zeit handelt. Finden Leser aber sind diese unnützen Jahre nicht verloren, bilden sie doch die eigentliche Substanz von Prousts Roman: raffinierte Schilderungen der mondänen Welt; satirische Charakterporträts von den Größen der adligen Gesellschaft, von Ärzten oder von Bohemiens; dazwischen auch Landschaftsbilder und Genreszenen; psychologische, soziologische und politische Betrachtungen; und dazu zwei Themen, deren Bedeutung weit über den engeren Kontext hinausreicht: der als Romanszene explizit dargestellte Tod der Großmutter und die vorerst nur andeutungsweise bezeichnete Homosexualität. Die Frankfurter Ausgabe folgt der unter dem Titel Die Welt der Guermantes 1959 erstmals erschienenen Übersetzung von Eva Rechel-Mertens. Der Text wurde korrigiert und teilweise neu gefaßt. Der neue Titel lautet Guermantes. Der Kommentar unterzieht sich der in diesem Band äußerst mühseligen Aufgabe, Daten, Namen und Anspielungen zu erklären, gibt jedoch auch Hinweise zu Erzählstrukturen sowie zum Zusammenspiel der einzelnen Teile, Themen und Stilnuancen."

        Scottishness and Irishness in New Zealand since 1840

        by Angela McCarthy, Andrew Thompson, John M. MacKenzie

        This book examines the distinctive aspects that insiders and outsiders perceived as characteristic of Irish and Scottish ethnic identities in New Zealand. When, how, and why did Irish and Scots identify themselves and others in ethnic terms? What characteristics did the Irish and the Scots attribute to themselves and what traits did others assign to them? Did these traits change over time and if so how? Contemporary interest surrounding issues of ethnic identities is vibrant. In countries such as New Zealand, descendants of European settlers are seeking their ethnic origins, spurred on in part by factors such as an ongoing interest in indigenous genealogies, the burgeoning appeal of family history societies, and the booming financial benefits of marketing ethnicities abroad. This fascinating book will appeal to scholars and students of the history of empire and the construction of identity in settler communities, as well as those interested in the history of New Zealand.
