        Welcome to the club

        The life and lessons of a Black woman DJ

        by DJ Paulette

        In Welcome to the club, Manchester legend DJ Paulette shares the highs, lows and lessons of a thirty-year music career, with help from some famous friends. One of the Haçienda's first female DJs, Paulette has scaled the heights of the music industry, playing to crowds of thousands all around the world, and descended to the lows of being unceremoniously benched by COVID-19, with no chance of furlough and little support from the government. Here she tells her story, offering a remarkable view of the music industry from a Black woman's perspective. Behind the core values of peace, love, unity and respect, dance music is a world of exclusion, misogyny, racism and classism. But, as Paulette reveals, it is also a space bursting at the seams with powerful women. Part personal account, part call to arms, Welcome to the club exposes the exclusivity of the music industry while seeking to do justice to the often invisible women who keep the beat going.

        The Official Record

        Oversight, national security and democracy

        by Peter Finn, Robert Ledger

        The construction, control and preservation of the Official Record is inherently contested. Those seeking greater openness and (democratic) accountability argue 'sunlight is [...] the best of disinfectants', while others seek stricter information control because, to their mind, sound government arises when advice and policy are formulated secretly. This edited volume explores the intersection of the Official Record, oversight, national security and democracy. Through US, UK and Canadian case studies, this volume will benefit higher level undergraduate readers and above to explore the Official Record in the context of the national security operations of democratic states. All chapters are research-based pieces of original writing that feature a document appendix containing primary documents (often excerpts) that are key to a chapter's narrative. As a result, this book interrogates the boundaries between national security, accountability, oversight, and the Official Record.

        Blind Spot

        Through the Wormhole of Science and Religion

        by Moss Campion

        Although there are numerous books available today about nonduality, only Blind Spot addresses the critical distinctions that exist between the conventional approaches to spirituality―indeed, to life itself―and the nondual approaches. The book explores how these same distinctions also play out in the sciences.

        by Jessica L. Malay

        In her Great Books of Record Anne Clifford places herself within the dynamic history of the ancient Clifford family, providing an unbroken view into medieval and early modern life for nearly six centuries.

Her Great Books draws upon medieval traditions and early modern scholarship and builds upon these through biographies of the Clifford lords and ladies, along with an extended biography of her mother Margaret Russell and her own autobiographical 'Life of Mee'. Those interested in the lives of medieval and early modern women, changes in culture, the effect of the political upon individuals, and the inspiring life of Anne Clifford will find this a rich and rewarding book.

        by Mercedes Helnwein, Moon Notes, Rita Gravert

        In "(Not So) Amazing Grace" von Mercedes Helnwein steckt Grace Welles im Sumpf Floridas in einem Internat fest und schwört sich, durch strenge, selbst auferlegte Einsamkeit zu überleben. Ihre abweisende Haltung funktioniert hervorragend, um potenzielle Freunde fernzuhalten, bis sie unerwartet einen neuen Schüler rettet und ihre Welt der Einsamkeit ins Wanken gerät. Der Neue, Wade Scholfield, entpuppt sich als jemand, der Grace zeigt, dass Schulregeln gebrochen werden können und dass tiefgründige Gespräche zu unerwarteten emotionalen Verbindungen führen. Zusammen mit Wade beginnt Grace zu entdecken, dass das Leben mehr zu bieten hat als ihre bisherige Isolation. Während Grace durch Wade lernt, sich dem Leben und anderen Menschen zu öffnen, steht sie gleichzeitig vor der Frage, was sie bereit ist, für ihre neu entdeckten Gefühle und Träume zu opfern. Die Geschichte entwickelt sich zu einer Erkundung von Freundschaft, Liebe und Selbstfindung gegen den Hintergrund des harten Alltags im Internat. Doch trotz der positiven Entwicklungen kommt es zu einem unerwarteten Wendepunkt, als Grace Wades Herz bricht, was die Leser*innen dazu bringt, über die Komplexität von Beziehungen und die Herausforderungen des Erwachsenwerdens nachzudenken. Helnweins Erzählung ist eine eindringliche Darstellung der Höhen und Tiefen jugendlicher Emotionen und der Suche nach Identität in einer oft unverständlichen Welt. Entdecke die tiefe und komplexe Welt von Grace Welles, einer jungen Frau, die lernt, ihre selbst auferlegte Einsamkeit zu überwinden. Faszinierende Kulisse eines Internats in den Sümpfen Floridas, wo die Regeln nicht immer das sind, was sie zu sein scheinen. Unkonventionelle Liebesgeschichte, die zeigt, wie tiefgründige Gespräche und gemeinsame Entdeckungen zu unerwarteten emotionalen Verbindungen führen können. Folge Grace auf ihrem Weg der Selbstfindung und des Erwachsenwerdens, während sie lernt, was es wirklich bedeutet, sich anderen zu öffnen und für ihre Träume zu kämpfen. Eine Geschichte über Freundschaft, erste Liebe und die schmerzhaften Lektionen, die das Leben zu bieten hat, perfekt für Fans von Rainbow Rowell und jugendlichen Romanen mit Tiefgang. Begleite Grace und Wade auf einer emotionalen Achterbahnfahrt, die dich zum Lachen, Weinen und Nachdenken bringen wird.

        Bovine Tuberculosis

        by Mark Chambers, Stephen Gordon, Francisco Olea-Popelka, Paul Barrow

        This book is contemporary, topical and global in its approach, and provides an essential, comprehensive treatise on bovine tuberculosis and the bacterium that causes it, Mycobacterium bovis. Bovine tuberculosis remains a major cause of economic loss in cattle industries worldwide, exacerbated in some countries by the presence of a substantial wildlife reservoir. It is a major zoonosis, causing human infection through consumption of unpasteurised milk or by close contact with infected animals. Following a systematic approach, expert international authors cover epidemiology and the global situation; microbial virulence and pathogenesis; host responses to the pathogen; and diagnosis and control of the disease. Aimed at researchers and practising veterinarians, this book is essential for those needing comprehensive information on the pathogen and disease, and offers a summary of key information learned from human tuberculosis research. It will be useful to those studying the infection and for those responsible for controlling the disease.

        SELURUH ALAM DALAM SEBUTIR DEBU

        by Saharil Hasrin Sanin

        "Beauty exists in wounds, in the delicacy of neglected things. God is reflected throughout the universe, in a ray of sunlight, in a gentle breeze, in a speck of dirt, in a tiny flower. God does exist in the beauty of a rainbow, but He also exists in the droplets of water that form that rainbow. We can see the whole universe in a speck of dust. And within that ignored speck of fine dust on the floor, there is God."   This manuscript contains 13 short stories by Saharil Hasrin Sanin, which have won various literary awards and prove that he remains a powerful storyteller. From the tale of a smooth-tongued vendor to the love story of hundreds of stones at the bottom of Al-Aqsa, this book will take us on a journey to explore the depths of emotions: happiness and wounds.
