        Die dunklen Sommer

        Roman | Eine kompromisslose Gemeinschaft, die fünf junge Menschen zu einer unumkehrbaren Tat treibt

        by Miranda Beverly-Whittemore

        Die Teenagerin Saskia ist einsam und fragil. Doch als sie im »Zuhause« eintrifft, einer Kommune an einem See in Maine, schenkt ihr die Atmosphäre dort, der Duft des selbstgebackenen Sauerteigbrotes, die nächtlichen Rufe der Wasservögel und die Freude beim Sammeln wilder Pilze auf dem feuchten Waldboden das Gefühl, angekommen zu sein. Und endlich findet sie in den vier anderen Jugendlichen, die mit ihren Familien in »Zuhause« leben, Freunde und fühlt sich zugehörig. Doch vor allem zieht Abraham sie in seinen Bann, der charismatische Anführer der Kommune, der für sie bald ihr Fixstern wird. Zwei Jahrzehnte später lebt sie zurückgezogen in ihrem großen Haus in Connecticut. Doch das ruhige Leben, das sie sich sorgsam aufgebaut hat, wird jäh erschüttert von einer Serie von Drohbriefen: Sie und ihre Jugendfreunde sollen nach Maine zurückkehren – andernfalls würde ihr gemeinsames Geheimnis, die Schuld, mit der sie sich damals in einem verzweifelten Akt, ihr »Zuhause« zu retten, beladen hatten, ans Licht gebracht … Wie weit sind wir bereit zu gehen, um unsere Geheimnisse zu bewahren und uns selbst zu schützen? Miranda Beverly-Whittemores packender Roman erzählt von einer alten Schuld und einer kompromisslosen Gemeinschaft, die fünf junge Menschen zu einer unumkehrbaren Tat treibt.

        8 BILLION REASONS POPULATION MATTERS

        The Defining Issue of the 21st Century

        by Valorie M. Allen

        The world is about to hit a population level of EIGHT BILLION people on one small planet. Through Allen’s analysis of the situation, the realization sets in that the fights by environmental and world aid groups are all for naught as every gain is soon overwhelmed by the pressures of more growth. Our planet's greatest threat is of too many people depleting the Earth's resources and contributing to climate change. Allen offers a thorough analysis of our environmental, social, political, and economic crises; then offers a treasure trove of solutions and success stories that we can all take to heart.

        Scottishness and Irishness in New Zealand since 1840

        by Angela McCarthy, Andrew Thompson, John M. MacKenzie

        This book examines the distinctive aspects that insiders and outsiders perceived as characteristic of Irish and Scottish ethnic identities in New Zealand. When, how, and why did Irish and Scots identify themselves and others in ethnic terms? What characteristics did the Irish and the Scots attribute to themselves and what traits did others assign to them? Did these traits change over time and if so how? Contemporary interest surrounding issues of ethnic identities is vibrant. In countries such as New Zealand, descendants of European settlers are seeking their ethnic origins, spurred on in part by factors such as an ongoing interest in indigenous genealogies, the burgeoning appeal of family history societies, and the booming financial benefits of marketing ethnicities abroad. This fascinating book will appeal to scholars and students of the history of empire and the construction of identity in settler communities, as well as those interested in the history of New Zealand.
