        Szenen einer drohenden Heirat

        Ein voreheliches Memoir | Das perfekte Geschenk zu Hochzeit und Valentinstag

        by Adrian Tomine, Katharina Dittes

        »Müssen wir die wirklich alle einladen???« Was könnte ein schöneres Geschenk für Hochzeitsgäste sein als ein Buch aus der eigenen Feder? Das dachte sich der Graphic-Novel-Autor Adrian Tomine und bannte auf Papier, was ihn und seine Braut Sarah in den Monaten vor der Hochzeit umtrieb, was ihre Nerven blanklegte und ihnen den Schlaf raubte – denn der Weg zum Traualtar ist ein steiniger Pfad: Bei der Gästeliste trennt sich die Spreu vom Weizen, an der Frage „Band oder DJ?“ scheiden sich die Geister, und die Menüfolge ist ja sowieso Geschmackssache. Und zwischen Probeessen, Tanzkurs und Blumenbouquets tönen bald die Zweifel an diesem Wahnsinnsunterfangen lauter als die Hochzeitsglocken: Hilfe! Wie kommen wir aus der Nummer wieder raus?! Für alle, die noch nicht vor dem Standesbeamten, dafür aber kurz vor dem Nervenzusammenbruch stehen, ist Adrian Tomines charmante Graphic Novel genau das richtige Beruhigungsmittel. Sie zeigt, wie wahnsinnig und wie wunderbar es ist, eine Hochzeit zu planen. Happy End garantiert.

        Cancel Culture Transfer

        Wie eine moralische Panik die Welt erfasst | Das Phänomen »Cancel Culture« verstehen

        by Adrian Daub

        Ein Gespenst geht um in Europa, ja in der ganzen Welt – das Gespenst der Cancel Culture. Glaubt man diversen Zeitungen, dürfen insbesondere weiße Männer jenseits der vierzig praktisch nichts mehr sagen, wenn sie nicht ihren guten Ruf oder gar ihren Job riskieren wollen. Ist da etwas dran? Oder handelt es sich häufig um Panikmache, bei der Aktivist:innen zu einer Gefahr für die moralische Ordnung stilisiert werden, um ihre berechtigten Anliegen zu diskreditieren? Der Ursprung der Cancel Culture wird üblicherweise an US-Universitäten verortet. Adrian Daub lehrt im kalifornischen Stanford Literaturwissenschaft. Er zeigt, wie während der Reagan-Jahre entwickelte Deutungsmuster über Campus-Romane verbreitet und auf die Gesellschaft insgesamt übertragen wurden. Man pickt einige wenige Anekdoten heraus und reicht sie herum, was auch hierzulande zu einer verzerrten Wahrnehmung führt. Anhand quantitativer Analysen zeichnet Daub nach, wie diese Diagnosen immer weitere Kreise zogen, bis sie auch die Twitter-Kanäle deutscher Politiker erfassten.

        Heart of Mist

        by Katrin Lange

        A girl torn between two brothers. Regardless of which one she falls in love with it will be disastrous for the other. Christopher and Adrian have sworn that no girl will ever come between them again, because there is a sleeping monster inside Adrian, just waiting to hurt his brother. But then Jessa comes to High Moor Grange… Jessa would do anything to find her sister Alice, who has been registered as missing for five years. High Moor Grange is the first clue she has been given after all this time – but apart from a ruin shrouded in mist, all she finds there are the owners of this dilapidated manor house. Jessa suspects that they both know more about Alice’s disappearance than they admit. Christopher wants nothing more than to be rid of her, and constantly gets on her nerves with his arrogance – and even his warm-hearted brother Adrian seems to be harbouring some secrets. Jessica knows that she ought to stay away from the twin brothers, because instead of finding answers at High Moor Grange, she finds herself in danger of losing her heart in a battle against a 200-year-old curse. Dark, irresistible and deeply romantic – a modern Beauty and the Beast story by the queen of emotions!

        Essays

        In der überarbeiteten Fassung der Übertragung von Paul Melchers. Herausgegeben und mit einem Nachwort versehen von Helmut Winter

        by Francis Bacon, Helmut Winter, Paul Melchers, Helmut Winter, Helmut Winter

        Die erste Ausgabe der »Essays« erschien 1597, erweiterte Fassungen 1612 und 1625. Knapp und nüchtern im Stil, geht es darin um Öffentliches (»Von hohen Ämtern, Von Parteien«) wie Privates (»Von Anhängern und Freunden, Vom Gespräch«), aber auch um allgemein Menschliches (»Von der Wahrheit, Von der Menschennatur«). Bacon verstand die »Essays« als eine Art Gebrauchsanleitung für das Überleben des Einzelnen in der Gesellschaft: Der Mensch sollte sich anpassen und verbessern können, getreu der Formel: »Das Benehmen der Menschen sei wie ihre Kleidung, nicht zu eng oder zu knapp, sondern mit Raum zu Bewegung und Übung.« Niemandem ist es gelungen, Ursache und Wirkung menschlicher Handlungen in ihren psychischen und sozialen Verflechtungen so prägnant zu beschreiben wie Francis Bacon, der, angeregt von Montaignes »Essais«, von Galilei und Descartes, in seinem Werk die Fundamente des modernen Denkens gelegt hat.

        Judges, politics and the Irish Constitution

        by Edited by Laura Cahillane, James Gallen, Tom Hickey

        This volume brings together academics and judges to consider ideas and arguments flowing from the often complex relationships between law and politics, adjudication and policy-making, and the judicial and political branches of government. Contributors explore numerous themes, including the nature and extent of judicial power, the European Court of Human Rights decision in O'Keeffe v Ireland, the process of appointing judges and judicial representation, judicial power and political processes. Contrasting judicial and academic perspectives are provided on the role of the European Court of Human Rights and the nature of exhausting domestic remedies, including a contribution from the late Mr. Justice Adrian Hardiman. The role of specific judges, social and political disputes and case law are examined and socio-economic rights, the rule of law and electoral processes are all addressed.

        New Interdisciplinary Essays

        by Jeff Wallace, John Whale

        This volume of eight new essays by leading scholars provides a stimulating dialogue between a range of critical perspectives. Encompassing the fields of cultural history, history of science, literature, and politics, the collection explores The New Atlantis' complex location within Bacon's oeuvre and its negotiations with cultural debates of the past and present. Often regarded as the apotheosis of Bacon's ideas through its depiction of an advanced “scientific” society, it is also read as a seminal work of science fiction.

        A farewell to arms?

        Beyond the Good Friday agreement

        by Michael Cox, Adrian Guelke, Fiona Stephen

        The signing of the Good Friday Agreement in 1998 appeared to open up a new phase in the history of Northern Ireland and indeed world politics generally. Hailed from the outset as a model that would inspire peace processes in other countries, it sought through careful negotiation and delicate compromise to bring to a conclusion a conflict that had cost over 3600 lives, damaged Britain's international position and at times come very close to undermining relations between the UK and Ireland. While the peace has held it is obvious that serious divisions continue to make a final settlement of the Northern Irish question very difficult. This comprehensive and original study is the first to explain in detail how the Good Friday Agreement ran into trouble, why we are still some way from a final settlement, but why a return to war is most unlikely - even in an age where global terror now threatens world order more seriously than at any time in the past. This new edition of an established, authoritative text will be essential reading for students, researchers and academics of Irish politics, conflict and peace studies, and international relations. ;

        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.
