View Rights PortalLaura Kneidl and Bianca Iosivoni are SPIEGEL Bestseller authors and superstars of the German New Adult community. In MIDNIGHT CHRONICLES the authors transport their readers to a world in which a group of young hunters band together to fight evil – putting not only their lives at stake, but their hearts too.Roxy’s first meeting with Shaw couldn’t have come at a worse time for the young huntress. For Roxy is in search of her missing brother, who has been abducted by supernatural beings. She is also faced with the daunting task of catching the creatures she accidentally freed from the underworld a few months ago – all because she was betrayed by the person she trusted the most. If Roxy doesn’t manage to send all the creatures back within the time she was allowed, she will be sent to the underworld herself. The fact that she now also has to keep an eye on the mysterious Shaw, who has no memory of his past and thus risks jeopardising her mission, is far from ideal. And the same goes for the chemistry between them, which grows stronger and stronger the closer they become.Book 1 of a New Adult fantasy series from Bianca Iosivoni and Laura KneidlNew Adult fantasy – the new genre at LYX!Action-packed, exciting and sexy

Bernhard Peters (1949–2005) verstand Öffentlichkeit als einen zentralen Motor kultureller Kreativität und gesellschaftlichen Lernens. In teils normativ-theoretisch, teils empirisch orientierten Beiträgen lotet er die Voraussetzungen und Funktionsweisen deliberierender Öffentlichkeit aus und spürt die Bezüge zwischen öffentlichen Diskursen, Transnationalisierungsprozessen, kollektiver Identität und demokratischer Legitimität auf. Der Band versammelt Peters’ verstreute und zum Teil schwer zugängliche Beiträge zur Öffentlichkeitsthematik aus den Jahren 1993 bis 2005.
From insects to fish as well as birds and primates: the use of tools is amazingly widespread in the animal kingdom. It’s a misnomer to presume that humans are distinguished by tool use and conscious capacity. So where is culture initiated? The biologist Peter-René Becker has evaluated numerous studies and cites plenty of evidence for the use of the hammer and anvil, lances, bait or sponges. Animals also use “tools as social implements”. Ultimately, the depth of man’s conscience singles him out from other animals.
