        Watkins Media Ltd. consists of 4 imprints - Watkins (self-help, personal development and mind, body, spirit), Nourish (healthy living and cookery), Angry Robot (science fiction and fantasy) and Repeater (Radical Politics, Fiction and Philosophy). The story of Watkins Publishing dates back to March 1893, when John M. Watkins, a scholar of esotericism, overheard his friend and teacher Madame Blavatsky lamenting the fact that there was nowhere in London to buy books on mysticism, occultism or metaphysics. At that moment Watkins was born, soon to become the home of many of the leading lights of spiritual literature, including Carl Jung, Rudolf Steiner, Alice Bailey and Chögyam Trungpa. Today our passion for vigorous questioning is still resolute, our books have continued to reflect the development of spiritual thinking and new science over the past 120 years. We remain at the cutting edge, committed to publishing books that change lives.

        European Woods and Forests

        Studies in Cultural History

        by Edited by Charles Watkins

        Woods and forests were the principal source of fuel in Europe for many hundreds of years. In addition, they were crucially important as a source of construction material for a wide range of domestic, agricultural, industrial and military artifacts. Moreover, they were used for grazing, cultivation and hunting. Consequently, the varied landscapes of today are often a result of past management policies which were closely linked to important events and cultural developments in human history. This book is a valuable source of information for historians and conservationists who wish to preserve our cultural heritage. This book is an interdisciplinary work which draws on selected papers presented at an international conference of forest historians organised at The University of Nottingham in September 1996 in association with the British Ecological Society and the International Union of Forest Research Organizations. In it, historians, geographers and foresters who are leading authorities explore recent developments in the study of the cultural history of European forests in a wide selection of case studies from Scotland, Central England, Spain, Germany and Israel. The book concludes with a theoretical consideration of the concept of ancient woodland. It represents essential reading for landscape historians, geographers, foresters, ecologists, conservationists and land managers with an interest in European forests and is also a useful source for advanced students of these disciplines.

        Ecological History of European Forests

        by Edited by Keith, Charles Watkins

        Forest is the natural vegetation of most of Europe. Although the majority has been destroyed by human activity over the centuries, a considerable amount remains and has been managed to varying degrees and for a wide variety of reasons. This has resulted in a large number of natural and semi-natural landscapes and habitat types over the region and a high diversity of plant and animal communities adapted to them. The growing interest in natural history and the environment in recent years has resulted in a greater demand for information on the complex ecological history of European forest. This book is unique in providing wide ranging and detailed case studies on specific aspects, including grazing, management practices and conservation and overviews, from recognised authorities, of the latest research on the ecological history of forests and woodland in Europe. It consists of selected papers given at an international conference of forest historians organised in association with the British Ecological Society and the International Union of Forest Research Organizations at Nottingham University in September 1996. Contributions come from the UK, Ireland, Scandinavia, the Low Countries, Germany, France, Spain, Italy and Turkey. This book is essential reading for ecologists, conservationists, landscape historians, foresters and geographers. It will also be of interest to advanced students in these areas.

Toklas, eins im Schreiben bei Christa und Gerhard Wolf, magisch-romantisch wie bei Paul und Linda McCartney. Wie lange Liebe gelingt? In diesem Buch wird es erzählt.

        Europe's Changing Woods and Forests

        From Wildwood to Managed Landscapes

        by Edited by Keith Kirby, Charles Watkins

        Our understanding of the ecological history of European forests has been transformed in the last twenty years. Bringing together key findings from across the continent, this book provides a comprehensive account of the relevance of historical studies to current conservation and management of forests. It combines theory with a series of regional case studies to show how different aspects of forestry play out according to the landscape and historical context of the local area.

        Critical Philosophy of Race

        Ein Reader

        by Kristina Lepold, Marina Martinez Mateo

        Welche Art von Realität hat race? Welche Rolle spielen Wahrnehmungs- und Wissensformen bei ihrer Konstruktion? Was ist und wie funktioniert Rassismus? Das sind die zentralen Fragen, denen sich seit zwei Jahrzehnten das Forschungsfeld der Critical Philosophy of Race widmet, welches insbesondere in den USA wirkmächtige akademische und außerakademische Debatten angestoßen hat. Aber auch hierzulande ist die philosophische Beschäftigung mit race und Rassismus wichtig geworden, wie aktuelle Ereignisse und Diskussionen zeigen. Der Band stellt die noch junge Disziplin vor und präsentiert – zum Teil in deutscher Erstübersetzung – die einschlägigen Texte, u. a. von Kimberlé Crenshaw, Kwame Anthony Appiah, Tommie Shelby, Linda Martín Alcoff und Sally Haslanger.
