        We present to you a rhino that actually once circled the earth in the spaceship, an artist cat from Paris known by everyone, the adventures, and wanderlust of a tiny house, and love stories kissed by the sun... Curious? If you are looking for children's books with a universal message of hope and connectedness, we'd love the opportunity to meet with you. Inner Flower Child Books is a children's book publisher founded in California in 2012 by the creative team of author Susan Schaefer Bernardo (M.A. English Languages and Literature, Yale University) and illustrator Courtenay Fletcher (BFA Advertising/Graphic Design, Art Center College of Design). These artists and their team produce profound, touching, and humorously inspiring books that have become very successful in the US. With wittiness, humor, and intelligence — with rhymes at times — they create stories that promote children's language and social capabilities development. Partly because of that, Susan’s and Courtenay's picture books are used nationwide by schools, children's charities, therapists, and families across the United States to help children and youth heal from problems, large and small. At a time when the whole world is being hit by the trauma of a pandemic, books such as “Sun Kisses and Moon Hugs” bring children and young people a comforting message of love and connection. The colorfully illustrated and inspiring picture books contain generally assignable topics such as healing trauma, bringing people closer to living a sustainable life, and the power of creative expression — predestined to be successful worldwide. (Speaking of worldwide distribution: one of Susan’s and Courtenay's books, “The Rhino Who Swallowed The Storm” was sent to the International Space Station to orbit the planet — and was read aloud by astronaut Kate Rubins as part of the innovative “Story Time From Space” program and broadcasted! Apart from that, “The Rhino” was also promoted by former, then-incumbent First Lady Michelle Obama and present presidential candidate Joe Biden. For more information, please visit our website!). All Inner Flower Child Books titles are currently only published in the United States. Susan and Courtenay are therefore pleased to be able to offer publication and subsidiary rights on all other world markets for the first time.

        Philosophie der wirklichen Welt

        by John R. Searle, Harvey P. Gavagai, John R. Searle

        John R. Searle gehört zu den wirkmächtigsten Philosophen der Gegenwart. Er hat bahnbrechende Untersuchungen über Sprechakte veröffentlicht, eine eigene Konzeption von Intentionalität vorgelegt und das Funktionieren gesellschaftlicher Realität erklärt. Er hat die Diskussion um künstliche Intelligenz mit seinem Bild des »chinesischen Zimmers« bereichert und damit allen Vergleichen des menschlichen Geistes mit dem Computer ein vieldiskutiertes Argument beschert. Hier zieht Searle die Summe aus diesen Themen. Durch die leichtverständliche Darstellung und Searles Fähigkeit, komplexe Probleme in wenigen Sätzen zu skizzieren und zu lösen, eignet sich das Buch nicht nur als Einführung in Searles Denken, sondern auch als Einführung in die Gegenwartsphilosophie überhaupt.

        Ichneumonid Wasps (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae)

        Their Classification and Biology

        by Gavin R. Broad, Mark R. Shaw, Michael G. Fitton

        The hymenopteran family Ichneumonidae comprises one of the largest single animal families. With around 2,300 British species, almost 10% of British insect species are ichneumonids. They can be found everywhere and studying them is very rewarding, but it is not without its difficulties. This book provides an extensively illustrated key for the identification of the 35 subfamilies of Ichneumonidae known to occur in Britain and Ireland (plus Brachycyrtinae, not yet found here). This is supported by chapters for each subfamily giving a comprehensive review of current knowledge on systematics, biology and host relations together with notes on useful recognition features and references to the most relevant species-level identification literature concerning the British Isles. Included in each British and Irish subfamily account is a folio of photographs covering all recognised tribes.

        Adapting Frankenstein

        The monster's eternal lives in popular culture

        by Dennis R. Cutchins, Dennis R. Perry

        Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is one of the most popular novels in western literature. It has been adapted and re-assembled in countless forms, from Hammer Horror films to young-adult books and bandes dessinées. Beginning with the idea of the 'Frankenstein Complex', this edited collection provides a series of creative readings that explore the elaborate intertextual networks that make up the novel's remarkable afterlife. It broadens the scope of research on Frankenstein while deepening our understanding of a text that, 200 years after its original publication, continues to intrigue and terrify us in new and unexpected ways.

        Popular science and public opinion in eighteenth-century France

        by Michael R. Lynn

        Now available in paperback, Michael R. Lynn's book analyses the popularisation of science in Enlightenment France. He examines the content of popular science, the methods of dissemination, the status of the popularisers and the audience, and the settings for dissemination and appropriation. Lynn introduces individuals like Jean-Antoine Nollet, who made a career out of applying electric shocks to people, and Perrin, who used his talented dog to lure customers to his physics show. He also examines scientifically oriented clubs like Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier's Musée de Monsieur which provided locations for people interested in science. Phenomena such as divining rods, used to find water and ores as well as to solve crimes; and balloons, the most spectacular of all types of popular science, demonstrate how people made use of their new knowledge. Lynn's study provides a clearer understanding of the role played by science in the Republic of Letters and the participation of the general population in the formation of public opinion on scientific matters.

        Warum Frauen im Sozialismus besseren Sex haben

        Und andere Argumente für ökonomische Unabhängigkeit

        by Kristen R. Ghodsee

        Im August 2017 sorgte ein Beitrag von Kristen R. Ghodsee in der New York Times für Furore. Der Titel: Warum Frauen im Sozialismus besseren Sex hatten. Bei »Sozialismus« mögen viele an alte Männer in grauen Anzügen denken. Tatsächlich aber garantierten zahlreiche sozialistische Länder ihren Bürgerinnen durch die Integration in den Arbeitsmarkt, Lohngleichheit und eine aktive Sozial- und Familienpolitik ein hohes Maß an ökonomischer Unabhängigkeit. Das erlaubte vielen Frauen, ihre Partner nicht nur unter dem Gesichtspunkt wirtschaftlicher Absicherung, sondern eben auch unter dem der individuellen Entfaltung zu wählen. Dreißig Jahre nach dem Ende des Staatssozialismus blickt die Historikerin und Ethnografin zurück und untersucht die Auswirkungen der kapitalistischen Transformation auf die Leben von Frauen. Die Lasten einer unregulierten Wirtschaft, so das Ergebnis ihres Essays, den sie nun erweitert als Buch vorlegt, tragen vor allem Frauen. Und sie sind es, die durch eine gerechtere Gesellschaft am meisten zu gewinnen haben.

        Infectious and Parasitic Diseases of Livestock (2 volume set)

        by P Lefèvre, J Blancou, R Chermette, G Uilenberg

        Translated from the French original published by Lavoisier In this new English language edition all the chapters have been updated with new references and additional chapters written by authors in the UK, USA, Australia and Canada. In recent years infectious livestock diseases have swept across many countries, often with dramatic consequences for animal and public health. With climatic changes modifying the distribution of vector-borne diseases, emerging novel pathogens can spread rapidly in new areas, at the same time as resistance spreads in places where they are established. This calls for new approaches for the control of parasitic diseases. This book presents in detail over 130 viral, bacterial, fungal and parasitic diseases of large livestock species from all over the world, accompanied by very valuable and informative illustrations and photographs. Particular attention is also paid to the role of wildlife in their epidemiology, stressing the potential zoonotic characteristics of diseases where applicable and their effects on humans. As this a two volume set - higher delivery charges apply: UK: £8.00 Europe: €9.50 ROW - $15.00

        Geist

        Eine Einführung

        by John R. Searle, Sibylle Salewski

        Kaum ein Gebiet der modernen Philosophie ist komplexer, kaum eines wird kontroverser diskutiert als die Philosophie des Geistes. Wie in keiner anderen philosophischen Disziplin manifestieren sich hier zudem die Konflikte zwischen zwei scheinbar unversöhnlichen Welten: der Welt des Geistes bzw. der Geisteswissenschaften und der Welt des Gehirns bzw. der modernen Naturwissenschaften. Mit John R. Searle hat nun einer der Großmeister des Fachs eine historisch-systematische Einführung geschrieben, die zugleich eine neue Sicht auf dieses »wichtigste Thema der gegenwärtigen Philosophie« bietet. Ausgehend von »Descartes und anderen Katastrophen «, präpariert Searle zwölf zentrale Probleme der Philosophie des Geistes, verwirft selbst die einflußreichsten Theorien und schlägt eigene Lösungen jenseits der Zwei-Welten-Lehre vor. Entstanden sind provozierende Analysen etwa des klassischen Leib- Seele-Problems und des Zusammenhangs zwischen Bewußtsein und Neurobiologie. Dem Unbewußten ist ebenso ein eigenes Kapitel gewidmet wie der Wahrnehmung und dem schwierigen Problem der mentalen Verursachung. Searles temperamentvoll geschriebenes Buch, das nicht mit Kritik an eingefahrenen Denkmustern geizt und mit einem Minimum an philosophischem Jargon auskommt, ist eine umfassende Einführung in die Philosophie des Geistes für Studierende und ein Lesevergnügen für jeden, der sich für die tiefen Fragen der Philosophie interessiert.
