Folk & traditional musicApril 2005The Kiss in history
by Edited by Karen Harvey
Writers have previously placed the action of kissing into categories: kisses of love, affection, peace, respect and friendship. Each of the essays in this fascinating book take a single kind of kiss and uses it as an index to the past. For rather than offering a simple history of the kiss, this book is about the kiss in history. In this collection, an eminent group of cultural historians have explored this subject using an exceptionally wide range of evidence. They explore the kiss through sources as diverse as canonical religious texts, popular prints, court depositions, periodicals, diaries and poetry. In casting the net so wide, these authors demonstrate how cultural history has been shaped by a broad concept of culture, encompassing more than simply the canons of art and literature, and integrating apparently 'historical' and 'non-historical' sources. Furthermore, this collections shows that by analyzing the kiss and its position - embedded as it is as part of our culture - history can use small gestures to take us to big issues concerning ourselves and others, the past and the present. With an afterword by Sir Keith Thomas, this book will be fascinating reading for cultural historians working on a wide range of different societies and periods.

Humanities & Social SciencesJune 2024Peace and the politics of memory
by Annika Björkdahl, Susanne Buckley-Zistel, Stefanie Kappler, Johanna Mannergren Selimovic, Timothy Williams
This important book provides new understandings of how the politics of memory impacts peace in societies transitioning from a violent past. It does so by developing a theoretical approach focusing on the intersection of sites, agency, narratives, and events in memory-making. Drawing on rich empirical studies of mnemonic formations in Cyprus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Rwanda, South Africa and Cambodia, the book speaks to a broad audience. The in-depth, cross-case analysis shows that inclusivity, pluralism, and dignity in memory politics are key to the construction of a just peace. The book contributes crucial and timely knowledge about societies that grapple with the painful legacies of the past and advances the study of memory and peace.

Unofficial peace diplomacy
Private peace entrepreneurs in conflict resolution processes
by Lior Lehrs
This book analyses the international phenomenon of private peace entrepreneurs. These are private citizens with no official authority who initiate channels of communication with official representatives from the other side of a conflict in order to promote a conflict resolution process. It combines theoretical discussion with historical analysis, examining four cases from different conflicts: Norman Cousins and Suzanne Massie in the Cold War, Brendan Duddy in the Northern Ireland conflict and Uri Avnery in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The book defines the phenomenon, examines the resources and activities of private peace entrepreneurs and their impact on the official diplomacy, and examines the conditions under which they can play an effective role in peace-making processes. This book is relevant to United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 16, Peace, justice and strong institutions.

Health & Personal DevelopmentMore Peace, Less Stress
A Step-by-Step Guide for Adults with ASD
by Marja Boxhoorn
When you have autism, you probably have to cope with stress on a daily basis. Often, people with autism do not know how to recognize stress, what causes stress, and what they can do to reduce it. More peace, less stress offers a useful step-by-step plan. In seven steps, the reader learns what causes stress, how to recognise stress signals, and what they can do to feel more at ease. The book includes practical exercises so new knowledge can be applied right away. Being more at ease means to be able to: have better relationships with a partner, family, friends and colleagues, focus attention to get things done more easily, have a grip on life, instead of experiencing chaos, restlessness and insecurity and feel more powerful and have more self-esteem.

August 2024Die Klage des Friedens
Der grundlegende Text der Friedensbewegung
by Erasmus von Rotterdam, Kurt Steinmann, Kurt Steinmann
Mit scharfsinniger Kritik und humanistischem Idealismus stellt dieser klassische Text die drängende Frage nach Frieden in einer von Auseinandersetzungen geprägten Welt – und ist damit heute von erschütternder, doch wegweisender Aktualität. Im kriegs- und konfliktgebeutelten Europa verleiht Erasmus von Rotterdam 1517 der Friedensgöttin Pax eine Stimme: Ihre Klage über den heillosen Zustand der Welt ist zugleich Anklage der Mächtigen und Aufruf eines jeden Einzelnen dazu, die verheerenden Folgen von Krieg und Gewalt nicht hinzunehmen. Sie erinnert daran, die Hoffnung auf Frieden nicht aufzugeben und sich allen politischen Wirren zum Trotz für Versöhnung und Frieden einzusetzen, statt mit Waffen durch Dialog, Vernunft und Menschlichkeit.

February 2025Rückkehr nach Budapest
Roman | Eine Liebe, die nicht sein darf – und eine Frau, die endlich frei sein will
by Nikoletta Kiss
Nikoletta Kiss erzählt stimmungsvoll von einer intensiven Frauenfreundschaft und einem Liebesdreieck in den Wirren der Vorwendezeit – von alten Wunden und der Erfahrung, dass es für Heilung nie zu spät ist. Márta wächst im sozialistischen Budapest auf, am Plattensee, wo sie herrliche Sommer mit ihrer Cousine Theresa verbringt. Doch ohne Theresa ist es einsam, und nach ihrem Schulabschluss entflieht Márta dem trinkenden Vater und reist zu ihr nach Ost-Berlin. Die Freundin nimmt sie mit in die Welt der künstlerischen Boheme, in Hinterhauswohnungen und verrauchte Kneipen, zur Lesung des jungen, regimekritischen Schriftstellers Konstantin. Er ist umwerfend, rätselhaft, gequält. Beide verlieben sich in ihn, und natürlich ist die extrovertierte und selbstsichere Theresa die Glückliche – bis sie durch einen verhängnisvollen Umstand verhaftet wird. Zwischen den Verbliebenen entsteht eine gefährliche Nähe, ein Verrat liegt in der Luft, der Márta noch Jahrzehnte später verfolgen wird. Aber waren sie damals nicht alle gleichermaßen unschuldig? Und wird es ihr jemals gelingen, aus Theresas Schatten zu treten?

Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2025International Relations in a multipolar Middle East
by Francesco Belcastro, Edward Wastnidge
This volume explores the international relations of today's Middle East, a region that has become increasingly multi-polar. The tumult following the Arab Uprisings has expanded the arenas competed over by regional powers, global actors and non-state players. The United States, once seemingly intent on a hegemonic 'Pax Americana' has stepped back, leaving powers such as Russia, China, India and the EU, with opportunities to increase their reach and expand their influence. Meanwhile, regional rivalries and alliances have continued to shape conflict and cooperation in the Middle East. As global politics moves towards a new, multipolar era, this volume sheds important light on how this transition will impact on the region. Comprised of two macro sections that offer theoretical reflections and empirical case studies, this volume is essential reading for scholars of the politics and international relations of the Middle East.

The rise and fall of world orders
by Torbjorn Knutsen
Drawing in lessons from 400 years of Great-Power politics, this volume challenges both the "declinist" arguments and the overstretched hypothesis of Paul Kennedy to develop an alternative approach to the debate on the rise and fall of the Great Powers. The first half of the book compares the Spanish, Dutch and the First and Second British world orders. It identifies their common features in order to find the most salient causes for their rise as world powers, and the most probable reasons for their decline. The second half of the book addresses the American world order in the 20th century, from Pax Americana to the End of US Hegemony. The author sees the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the resurgence of the US as evidence of the role played by normative dimensions, commonly underestimated in International Relations analysis. Theoretically challenging, Knutsen's volume provides a fresh approach to debates in international relations aimed at both students and scholars.

January 2019Mononucleosis, Third Edition
by Janet Decker, Ph.D. and Alan Hecht, D.C.
Often called the "kissing disease" due to its transmission through saliva, mononucleosis is a disease caused by the Epstein-Barr virus. Many are familiar with mononucleosis, by either having suffered from it themselves or knowing a friend who has. Although most people who suffer from mononucleosis will recover fully, the virus remains in their body, and can contribute to long-term health concerns. Mononucleosis, Third Edition explores the microbiology of the virus as well as treatment and prevention options. Chapters include: Infectious Mononucleosis and Epstein-Barr Virus The Discovery of Epstein-Barr Virus The Life of Epstein-Barr Virus Immune System Response to Epstein-Barr Virus Signs and Symptoms EBV Transmission and Latent Infection Diagnosis of Infectious Mononucleosis Treatments for Infectious Mononucleosis Epstein-Barr Virus and Cancer Epstein-Barr Virus and Other Diseases.
