minibombo
Minibombo makes picture books characterized by clear images and solid colours, telling stories with a short text or no text at all. The books aim to create a participated reading process between adults and children and require a bit of creativity and cooperation on their part. Minibombo loves to explore different types of communication. This is why some of its paper stories have become the starting point for creating digital applications. The apps refer to the original stories in the books and develop them further by exploiting a different code. All the minibombo apps are available worldwide on the App Store and Google Play. Minibombo started in Reggio Emilia, Italy, in 2013. Since its beginnings, it has been highly appreciated both by readers and operators in the sector and has been awarded several prizes which have helped make its books known among a wide public.

Business, Economics & LawJuly 2024Undermining resistance
The governance of participation by multinational mining corporations
by Lian Sinclair
Why do multinational mining corporations use participation to undermine resistance? Do the struggles of local communities, activists and NGOs matter on a global scale? Why are there so many different global standards in mining? This book develops a new critical political economy approach to studying extractive accumulation, drawing on three detailed Indonesian cases to explain how participatory mechanisms continuously reshape and are reshaped by community-corporate conflict. Findings highlight feedback between local social relations, conflict, transnational activism, crises of legitimacy and global governance. The author argues that corporate social responsibility, community development, 'gender-mainstreaming' and environmental monitoring are neither simple outcomes of corporate ethics nor mere greenwashing strategies. Rather, participation is a mechanism to undermine resistance and create social relations amenable to extractive accumulation.

Oder Über die körperliche Erziehung der jungen Mädchen. Mit "Nu au miroir" von Balthus
by Frank Wedekind, Balthus
Frank Benjamin Franklin Wedekind wurde am 24. Juli 1864 in Hannover geboren und starb am 9. März 1918 in München. Im Jahr 1884 begann Wedekind zu studieren. Er versuchte sich an der Literatur, der bildenden Kunst, der Musik und auf Wunsch seines Vaters an der Rechtswissenschaft. 1887 entstand Kontakt zur Gruppe ›Das junge Deutschland‹, über die er Gerhart Hauptmann kennenlernte. Von 1891 bis 1895 lebte Frank Wedekind in Paris. 1896 kehrte Wedekind zurück nach München und war dort Mitgründer und ständiger Mitarbeiter der Zeitschrift ›Simplicissimus‹, in der er auch Hieronymos veröffentlichte. Von 1899 bis 1900 verbüßte er eine sechsmonatige Haftstrafe wegen Beleidigung der kaiserlichen Majestät. In den Jahren 1902 bis 1908 war Wedekind Kabarettist und Schauspieler. 1906 heiratet er Tilly Newes. Er war ein Bohemien, das Antibürgerliche war sein Element. In allen seinen Werken hat er die Gesellschaft seiner Zeit entlarvt, verspottet und angeklagt. Im Mittelpunkt seiner Dramen stehen Menschen, die versuchen, sich der Verlogenheit und Heuchelei ihrer Epoche zu widersetzen, und sich meist als deren Opfer erweisen. Er hatte einen untrüglichen Instinkt für die Möglichkeiten und die Wirkungen der Bühne. Vom Naturalismus wandte er sich ab, dem Expressionismus bahnte er den Weg und wurde so eine der zentralen Figuren des modernen Dramas. Marcel Reich-Ranicki

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2025Spirits of extraction
Christianity, settler colonialism and the geology of race
by Claire Blencowe
Spirits of extraction revisits the troubling history of socially reformist, ostensibly anti-racist, Christianity and its role in the expansion of the extractive industries, British imperialism, and settler colonialism. The book explores key moments in the history of Methodism and the evangelical movement. Colonial fears, and the attempt to 'civilise savages', were crucial to the movement's foundation in eighteenth-century industrialising Bristol, England. Through the culture of the Cornish mining diaspora of the nineteenth century, Methodism enmeshed with all the complexity of race and labour-structures of the British empire. At the same time, in Anishinaabewaki/Upper Canda/Ontario, Methodist missionaries laid the foundation of abusive education and racialised ideas of redemption that both enable and sacralise the mining industry. Through these histories of our present, the book theorises the relation of religion and education to racism, modernity, biopower, extractivism, and the geology of race.

May 2020Niemals ohne sie
Roman
by Jocelyne Saucier, Sonja Finck, Frank Weigand
Die Cardinals sind keine gewöhnliche Familie. Sie haben den Schneid und die Wildheit von Helden, sie haben Angst vor nichts und niemandem. Und sie sind ganze dreiundzwanzig. Als der Vater in der stillgelegten Mine eines kanadischen Dorfes Zink entdeckt, rechnet der Clan fest mit einem Anteil am Gewinn – und dem Ende eines kargen Daseins. Aber beides wird den Cardinals verwehrt, und so schmieden sie einen explosiven Plan, der, wenn schon nicht die Mine, so wenigstens die Ehre der Familie retten soll. Doch der Befreiungsschlag scheitert und zwingt die Geschwister zu einem Pakt des Schweigens, der zu einer Zerreißprobe für die ganze Familie wird. »Saucier gelingt es, dem Leser erst ein freches, freies Leben vorzugaukeln und ihn dann schrittweise in dessen finsteres Herz zu führen – ein grandioser Höllenritt.«, schreibt die Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. In Niemals ohne sie schafft Jocelyne Saucier eine Welt, die aller Rauheit zum Trotz den Glauben an ein selbstbestimmtes, freies und gemeinschaftliches Leben feiert. So belebend und gewagt wie eine Utopie.

EXCAVATING THE CITY OF DAVID
by Ronny Reich
Archaeological research over the past 150 years has identified Jerusalem’s southeastern hill, outside the Old City walls, as the biblical City of David. The growing realization that this hill is indeed the most ancient part of Jerusalem led many scholars to excavate it. Since the first excavation by Charles Warren in 1867 to the present, fourteen archaeological expeditions have dug here, making the City of David hill one of the most excavated sites in Israel. British, German, French, and Israeli teams have dug here under four different governments (Ottoman, British Mandate, Jordanian, and Israeli), producing an impressive quantity of data. Some of these remains are uniquely important, including the Siloam Tunnel, the Warren’s Shaft system, the Siloam Inscription, the Theodotos Inscription, and the Pool of Siloam. Recent excavations at the City of David have uncovered impressive remains of Middle Bronze Age fortifications around the Gihon Spring and remains of the Siloam Pool dating to the Second Temple period. The Siloam Tunnel has now been thoroughly documented and studied. This book begins with a chronological survey of a century and a half of excavation and study of the City of David hill. It then summarizes the history of the hill, from prehistoric times to the end of the Ottoman period. It presents an up-to-date summary of past and recent archaeological discoveries, many of which, presented here for the first time, have dramatically changed our thinking about Jerusalem’s ancient history. Ronny Reich has been excavating and studying Jerusalem’s antiquities for over forty years. From 1969 to 1978 he participated in the excavations directed by Professor Nahman Avigad in Jerusalem’s Jewish Quarter. Since 1995 he has been co-director of the City of David Excavations. Professor Reich is a graduate of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where he wrote his Ph.D. dissertation on Jewish ritual baths in the Second Temple period. Since 1995 he has been a professor of archaeology at the University of Haifa. In 2000 he was awarded the Jerusalem Prize for Archaeological Research. 27 × 22 cm., 382 pages, hardcover, numerous black & white and color illustrations.
