Humanities & Social SciencesThree Gorges
Image Files of the Natural and Humanistic Heritages of China’s River Sources, II
by Zheng Yunfeng, Ge Jianxiong
China's giant Three Gorges Dam is the world's biggest hydropower plant located in the Three Gorges region in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. Since its construction officially began in 1994, the higher water level has changed the scenery of the Three Gorges. In 1996, photographer Zheng Yunfeng arrived at the Three Gorges, hoping to document the scenery before it was swallowed by the rising water. He spent more than seven years taking over 50,000 photos of the gorges, based on which the series Three Gorges was produced. The series Three Gorges is a selected collection of Zheng Yunfeng’s photography of the Three Gorges region, depicting living conditions, economic status, and customs and beliefs of local people with massive exquisite pictures and plain language. It is a part of Image Files of the Natural and Humanistic Heritages of China's River Sources and has three volumes: Memories of Mountains and Rivers, Memories of Old Days, and Memories of Ours.

September 2017Das Leben nehmen
Suizid in der Moderne
by Thomas Macho
»Der Selbstmord«, schrieb Walter Benjamin in seinem Passagen-Werk, erscheint »als die Quintessenz der Moderne«. Und in der Tat: Nachdem der Versuch, sich das Leben zu nehmen, über Jahrhunderte als Sünde oder Ausdruck einer psychischen Krankheit betrachtet, in einigen Ländern sogar strafrechtlich sanktioniert wurde, vollzieht sich seit dem 20. Jahrhundert ein tiefgreifender Wandel, der zur Entstehung einer neuen Sterbekultur beigetragen hat. Der eigene Tod gilt immer häufiger als »Projekt«, das vom Individuum selbst zu gestalten und zu verantworten ist. Wer sich das Leben nimmt, will es nicht mehr nur auslöschen, sondern auch ergreifen und ihm neue Bedeutung geben. Thomas Macho erzählt die facettenreiche Geschichte des Suizids in der Moderne und zeichnet dessen Umwertung in den verschiedensten kulturellen Feldern nach: in der Politik (Suizid als Protest und Attentat), im Recht (Entkriminalisierung des Suizids), in der Medizin (Sterbehilfe) sowie in der Philosophie, der Kunst und den Medien. Er geht zurück zu den kulturellen Wurzeln des Suizids, liest Tagebücher, schaut Filme, betrachtet Kunstwerke, studiert reale Fallgeschichten und zeigt insbesondere, welche Resonanzeffekte sich zwischen den unterschiedlichen Freitodmotiven ergeben. Seine Diagnose: Wir leben in zunehmend suizidfaszinierten Zeiten.

Children's & YAJanuary 2020The World Around Us
by Galyna Guzovska-Korytska (Author), Lyudmyla Kharlamova (Illustrator)
We must see the world from the standpoint of everything that surrounds us, of what we encounter every day, for us to truly understand the issues in our lives, the situations we find ourselves in, and how to address them properly. In our individualistic world, however, we do not always manage to think about what is truly important. The World Around Us motivates young readers to deeply examine their values, to recognise the negative actions of the characters in her stories, and to look for a positive approach to the world that surrounds them. The World Around Us consists of 16 stories, each of which is associated with a specific thematic word such as friendship, the future, wisdom… it is up to the young readers to think the stories through their keywords, and by doing so, they will develop their feelings of empathy, decency, kindness, humanity, and generosity. From 5 to 8 years readers, 3312 words Rightsholders: Galyna Guzovska; guzovskakorickagalina@gmail.com

Children's & YARoyal Horses (1). Crown Heart
by Jana Hoch
His world is that of the Royals – full of scandals and secrets. Falling in love with him was never part of her plan. Their paths cross at the royal stud farm... Greta just wants to get away: away from her school and away from the friends who have so endlessly disappointed her. The holiday job at the royal stud farm comes at just the right time for her. She might not have any interest in horses – and even less in princes and princesses – but the royal family’s palace still makes her heart beat faster. But on the very first day she quarrels with Edward, the horse trainer. He guesses that she is hiding a secret and wants to do whatever it takes to bring it out in the open. When, shortly afterwards, Prince Tristan appears at the stud farm, Greta’s life is completely turned upside down. She notices all too late that she is in the process of falling in love – and specifically with the boy that she actually wants to stay away from. Humorous and romantic, glamorous and exciting: ‘Royal Horses’ is the perfect love story for all readers from 12 to 99 years-old. Greta and Edward‘s story continues! Volume 2, ‘Crown Dream’ will be out in autumn 2020.
