In Bois Sec, einem kleinen, elenden Slum im Amazonasgebiet von Französisch-Guayana, lebt der zehnjährige Darwyne mit seiner Mutter Yolanda. Yolanda ist schön, stark und klug. Darwyne ist klein, ein wenig körperlich beeinträchtigt und meistens schmutzig. Er möchte so sehr von seiner Mutter geliebt werden, sie aber hält ihn für ein Monster. Sieben ihrer Liebhaber sind bis jetzt spurlos im Dschungel verschwunden. Ein achter, Jhonson, taucht gerade auf. Auch er bekommt keinen Draht zu Darwyne. Im Gegensatz zu Mathurine, einer Sozialarbeiterin, die versteht, dass Darwyne eine besondere Beziehung zur Natur hat, anscheinend mit den Tieren und den Pflanzen kommunizieren kann und dass er in der Tat »anders« ist, irgendetwas zwischen den Spezies. Und ihr drängt sich mit der Zeit der Verdacht auf, dass Darwyne womöglich mit dem Verschwinden der ersten sieben Lover etwas zu tun hat. Nach einem dramatischen Erdrutsch, der den Slum vernichtet, fliehen Yolanda und Jhonson ‒ ausgerechnet in den Dschungel ...

Was ist ein Europäer, Afrikaner, Amerikaner, der jüdische Mann? Welche Folgen hat der transatlantische Sklavenhandel für die heutige Technomusik? Was – überhaupt – kann eine Technoplatte erzählen? Und wie politisch ist das? Inwiefern kann die Sängerin Dana International als ehemaliger Junge den Staat Israel beim Grand Prix de la Chanson repräsentieren? Und welche Farbe hat eigentlich Mariah Carey? Tillmann und seine Freundinnen Yolanda und Cordula tauschen E-Mails, Faxe, Platten und Bücher aus. Meinecke vernetzt die Perspektiven seiner Denk-Figuren zu einem polyphonen Textgeflecht.

Multi-drug resistant infections are one of the greatest threats to human health, and with resistance on the rise, appropriate antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) is more important than ever. This book, written by nurses for nurses, provides a clear and concise approach to good practice in this vital area. It explores all aspects of AMS, explaining the practices that ensure the optimal use of antibiotics for the best clinical outcome, with both minimal toxicity to the patient and minimal impact on subsequent antimicrobial resistance. Written by a global team of experts, it covers infection prevention and control, antimicrobial resistance, diagnosis of infection and appropriate antimicrobial use, patient engagement, collaboration between professions and how to implement AMS in nursing practice. The first AMS textbook applied directly to nursing practice, and underpinned by a competency framework designed by the editor team, it includes learning tools such as objectives, practical case studies and questions throughout.

A right whale is beached on the Basque coastline on the eve of the G7 Summit held in Biarritz in August of 2019. An environmental journalist is knocked down by the whale’s final fin thrash while she is covering the news story. The event is politically suspicious because various clues point to a sabotage operation orchestrated by anti-system groups gathered in Hendaya to protest the summit. The whale’s cadaver becomes the awkward guest at political meeting, adding tension to an already fraught social situation marked by the crisis and the continuing protested by the Yellow Vests. In parallel, in the Spain of King Philip II, a group of Basque whalers prepare for the great transatlantic expedition in search of whale oil, the essential fuel for the development of the civilized world. Men die at sea and women confront the human drama with their own weapons while the city of Bayonne is decorated for the celebration of the meeting between the two great European monarchies. The very same ocean that served as the hatchery for budding empires, today is agonizing in full view of the Group of Seven. The gazes of Elizabeth of Valois, Catherine de Medici, and their courts blend into the gazes of Macron, Trump, and the other world leaders. Outside, the streets are filled with screaming protestors. The whales advance toward them, special guests to the powerful party. Five centuries separate the two great political meetings: the Biarritz G7 Summit focused on inequality and climate change, and the 1565 Bayonne meeting for peace between the peoples of the Spanish and French crowns. Using elements from the ecothriller, historical fic3on, and poli3cal sa3re, the novel Oceanic blends different 3me periods and narra3ve voices, making nature a leading character.

Set in the aftermath of Typhoon Yolanda, Broken Islands is about two women—Luna and Alba—whose lives become entangled through their occupation of a house and their relationships with each other and with the Cimafranca paterfamilias Manoy, who is uncle to one and amo to the other. In this beautifully written and realized novel, the characters are as vividly rendered as the Borbon (Cebu ca. 2015) they inhabit, and as complex. The novel, particularly the sections on Typhoon Yolanda and the bungled rescue and reconstruction efforts in its wake, is notable for marrying literary sensibility and expression with journalism's fidelity to facts and on-the-ground observation. Exploring issues of class and gender hierarchy and inequality, the novel refuses easy (re)solutions, offering instead a subtle, dark-tinged vision of our broken islands. - Caroline S. Hau
