        Fritz, the Gorilla

        Biography of a Fascinating Ape

        by Jenny von Sperber

        When Jenny von Sperber first met Fritz, the gorilla didn’t let her out of his sight. He was already over 50 years old then, but he was still extremely charismatic. One thing matters for the journalist: she wants to find out everything about Fritz’s life. Born in 1963, he was captured in the wild and came from Cameroon to Germany in 1966. At that time, apes were still regarded as a curiosity in zoos. When a ban was declared on the wild gorilla trade, Fritz was already a father of many youngsters. This fascinating gorilla-family saga not only recounts the eventful life of Fritz, but also shows the development in European zoos in handling wild animals. Nowadays, things have certainly improved. But there are still questions, for example, what does it do to us when we marvel at our closest relatives behind glass? And is it even still current to confine apes ... was it ever?

        Rebellische Frauen - Women in Battle

        150 Jahre Kampf für Freiheit, Gleichheit, Schwesterlichkeit. Graphic Novel

        by Marta Breen, Jenny Jordahl, Nora Pröfrock

        Marta Breen, in ihrer Heimat Norwegen einer der profiliertesten Feministinnen, und Jenny Jordahl, preisgekrönte Illustratorin, geben mit befreiendem Humor und erfrischenden Illustrationen einen neuen Blick auf Frauen unserer Geschichte, darunter Rosa Luxemburg, Emmeline Pankhurst, Sojourner Truth, Margaret Sanger und Malala Yousafzai. Hier werden engagiert, leichtfüßig und pointiert die Geschichten all der furchtlosen Frauen erzählt, die seit über 150 Jahren und bis heute leidenschaftlich für die Rechte der Frauen auf der ganzen Welt kämpfen: Für das Recht, zu wählen. Für das Recht über den eigenen Körper zu bestimmen. Für das Recht, zu leben wie, und zu lieben, wen man will. Und für wirtschaftliche Unabhängigkeit, für Bildung und Beruf. Eine kraftvolle Hommage an den Mut und den Willen der Frauen, die für ihre Rechte kämpfen und gekämpft haben. Und ein Appell dafür, weiterhin zu kämpfen!

        Really Great, Heros! (2). What on Earth are we Doing Here?

        by Rüdiger Bertram/ Heribert Schulmeyer

        Juli can’t wait for the holidays. His cousin Jenny and he can once more go to her uncle’s Superhero Hotel. Maybe the next superhero adventure will be awaiting them there? Indeed it is: the evil Snakeman has created an army of mutated giant rabbits, whose underground tunnels threaten one city after another with complete collapse. And as the real superheroes are still lazing around at the swimming pool, and Bruce suddenly has to go and defend the world against an alien invasion, it’s once more left to Juli and Jenny to prevent this disaster! Armed with nothing more than a cheap pair of X-ray laser glasses with which they can see through walls, doors and even people’s clothes (villains in underpants – not a pretty sight!). And while Juli is still asking “What on earth are we doing here?” he and Jenny find themselves in the middle of a crazy adventure that takes them all round the world – across the desert, through London, and on to Paris! Can Juli and Jenny stop the evil villain and his giant rabbits in time?

        by Mackenzi Lee, Jenny Merling

        Die Weltgeschichte kennt kaum Heldinnen, meint man(n). Ist aber Quatsch. Denn das, was als Weltgeschichte gilt, wird von alten, weißen Männern entschieden.

Von der Jiu-Jitsu-Suffragette, der gefährlichsten Piratin der Weltmeere, der … nein? Komisch. Dieses Buch versammelt 52 sagenhafte Heldinnen und ihre wahren Geschichten – actionreich, informativ und ein schillernder Appell an alle Frauen, nie an der eigenen Großartigkeit zu zweifeln.

        International law in Europe, 700–1200

        by Jenny Benham

        Was there international law in the Middle Ages? Using treaties as its main source, this book examines the extent to which such a system of rules was known and followed in the period 700 to 1200. It considers how consistently international legal rules were obeyed, whether there was a reliance on justification of action and whether the system had the capacity to resolve disputed questions of fact and law. The book further sheds light on issues such as compliance, enforcement, deterrence, authority and jurisdiction, challenging traditional ideas over their role and function in the history of international law. International law in Europe, 700-1200 will appeal to students and scholars of medieval Europe, international law and its history, as well as those with a more general interest in warfare, diplomacy and international relations.
