Zwischen 1939 und 1959 erschien in dem Londoner Verlag Penguin eine Buchreihe, die den Namen „King Penguin Books“ trug und am Ende 76 Bände umfasste. Die Anregung dazu stammte aus Deutschland, und zwar durch die 1912 gegründete Insel-Bücherei. Der Buchhistoriker Russell Edwards schrieb dazu: „The ambition of King Penguins was to rival the celebrated Insel books which had been so much admired“. Warum also nicht einzelne Bände der Insel-Bücherei auf Englisch erscheinen lassen? Den Anfang macht „Der kleine Prinz“…

Practical Feline Behaviour contains all the relevant information that a veterinary nurse or technician needs to understand and handle the behaviour and welfare of house cats, and to offer safe and practical advice to clients. There have been ground-breaking advances in our understanding of feline behaviour in recent years and, to protect the welfare of cats, it is increasingly important that anyone involved with their care, especially those in a professional capacity, keep up to date with these developments. This approachable and down-to-earth text describes the internal and external influences on feline behaviour; on communication, learning, social behaviour, the relationship between behaviour and disease, and the cat - human relationship. It also provides practical advice on how the welfare of cats in our care may be protected and how behaviour problems should be addressed and how to avoid them. In this book Trudi Atkinson draws on her extensive experience as a veterinary nurse and a Certified Clinical Animal Behaviourist to provide a rapid reference and an intensely practical feline behaviour resource for owners, breeders, veterinary professionals, shelter and cattery workers and anyone involved in the care of our feline companions. - Practical, down to earth guide detailing all aspects of feline behaviour - Rapid reference for instant access to information - Written by a well-known animal behaviourist who has extensive experience in treating feline behaviour problems and in advising clients to protect the welfare of their cats - Includes a foreword by John Bradshaw, School of Veterinary Science at University of Bristol, UK

A Vision of Battlements is the first novel by the writer and composer Anthony Burgess, who was born in Manchester in 1917. Set in Gibraltar during the Second World War, the book follows the fortunes of Richard Ennis, an army sergeant and incipient composer who dreams of composing great music and building a new cultural world after the end of the war. Following the example of his literary hero, James Joyce, Burgess takes the structure of his book from Virgil's Aeneid. The result is, like Joyce's Ulysses, a comic rewriting of a classical epic, whose critique of the Army and the postwar settlement is sharp and assured. The Irwell Edition is the first publication of Burgess's forgotten masterpiece since 1965. This new edition includes an introduction and notes by Andrew Biswell, author of a prize-winning biography of Anthony Burgess.

Contemporary and challenging, this thought-provoking book outlines a number of the key dilemmas in animal welfare for today's, and tomorrow's, world. The issues discussed range from the welfare of hunted animals, to debates around intensive farming versus sustainability, and the effects of climate and environmental change. The book explores the effects of fences on wild animals and human impacts on carrion animals; the impacts of tourism on animal welfare; philosophical questions about speciesism; and the quality and quantity of animal lives. The welfare impacts of human-animal interactions are explored, including human impacts on marine mammals, fish, wildlife, and companion and farm animals. Animal Welfare in a Changing World provides: Concise, opinion-based views on important issues in animal welfare by world experts and key opinion leaders. Pieces based on experience, which balance evidence-based approaches and the welfare impacts of direct engagement through training, campaigning and education. A wide-ranging collection of examples and descriptions of animal welfare topics which outline dilemmas in the real world, that are sometimes challenging, and not always comfortable reading. This is a 'must-read' book for animal and veterinary scientists, ethologists, policy and opinion leaders, NGOs, conservation biologists and anyone who feels passionately about the welfare of animals
Dr. Bonnie Henry, “one of the most effective public health figures in the world” (The New York Times), earned accolades in 2020 for her consistent, calm, empathetic, and science-based public health strategy in the face of COVID 19, embodied in the phrase “Be kind, be calm, be safe.” This is the story of the four key weeks in spring during which British Columbia flattened the curve while other places struggled, and of the challenging weeks in summer when the infection returned with a vengeance. This is not only a medical story; it's a personal story punctuated by moments of gravity and grace. Public health officials are required to make personally agonizing decisions in the face of incomplete information and competing health priorities; we glimpse the private deliberations behind policies that affect millions. This is a universal story about how we make decisions (and who makes them) in times of great upheaval; the nuances of communication, leadership, and public trust; the balance between politics and policy; and what and whom we value, as individuals and a society. It's also about Henry’s deceptively simply slogan, and what it requires from all of us to “be kind, be calm, be safe.”

“Don’t be dead serious. Life is a brief sparkle, but you shall be dead for a very long time.” – Sadhguru Death is a taboo in most societies in the world. But what if we have got this completely wrong? What if death was not the catastrophe it is made out to be but an essential aspect of life, rife with spiritual possibilities for transcendence? For the first time, someone is saying just that. In this unique treatise-like exposition, Sadhguru dwells extensively upon his inner experience as he expounds on the more profound aspects of death that are rarely spoken about. From a practical standpoint, he elaborates on what preparations one can make for one's death, how best we can assist someone who is dying and how we can continue to support their journey even after death. Whether a believer or not, a devotee or an agnostic, an accomplished seeker or a simpleton, this is truly a book for all those who shall die!

We don't choose the times we live in nor the times that shape us. Neither did Lud and Alma. Lud, who was born in 1899, and his brother Wilhelm revere Bach and Hölderlin, and share the same unattainable ideals. Wilhelm, who joins the Nazi party early on, measures others according to its standards; Lud measures himself by them, which torments him for the rest of his life. Alma lost her parents when she was a child, and her godfather Lud – who is only a few years older than her – and his housekeeper become a kind of new family for her. Lud is a pharmacology professor specialising in sleep and its induction, and while he spends his days at the university Alma is left home alone, unable to stop thinking about him. When he starts researching poison gas, he doesn't tell her about it. His struggle with his lofty ideals grows ever more desperate – for he can't get Gerhard, the man alongside whom he fought in the First World War, out of his head. Taking us on a journey from the days of the German empire to National Socialism, the early days of the GDR and post-war West Germany, Jo Lendle's scintillating novel is the story of a family falling apart, of guilt, of the meaning of science, and of the subtle difference between sleep, anaesthesia and death. It is the story of a German family – which just so happens to be his own.

Shortlisted for S.E.A. Write Award 2015 First Thai novel published by PRH SEA From one of Thailand’s most prominent writers, THE FABULIST is a mesmerizing family saga told in five parts, each by a different narrator and written in a distinctive genre/format. The story follows four generations of a Thai family, from the matriarch (who was a tree, a naga, a deer, and a rock before she became a woman) to her eldest son, a doctor who embarks upon a quest for justice in the afterlife after suffering a stroke, from the doctor's wife (who lives out the soap opera of her dreams) to a ghostwriter who turns family tragedy into fiction. Their stories contradict each other and the reader is left with more questions than answers, but all is revealed in the last chapter as a young woman from the next generation returns to her hometown and the truth is finally out. Uthis Haemamool blends origin myths, recorded history, religious fables and domestic high-drama into THE FABULIST, offering a rare look at Thailand's ordinary people. A challenging but highly satisfying read, just like the best kind of literature.

Set in the near-future, Into the Forest focuses on the relationship between two teenaged sisters as they struggle to survive the collapse of society. Despite the fact that their happy world is rocked when their mother dies of cancer, they and their father are determined to carry on. Even as terrorism, a distant war, increasingly unpredictable weather, and an unstable economy challenge the reliability of social order and infrastructure, their little family continues to hoard its resources and attempts to keep up its spirits as they wait for the lights to come back on, the phone to ring, and the lives they have been anticipating to return to them. But when their father is killed in an accident, and a dangerous stranger arrives at their door, the girls confront the fact that they must find some new way to grow into adulthood. Into the Forest is a BookSense Reading Group Pick, Readers Choice Book Club Favorite, and Book of the Month Club alternative pick.

Following It Would Be Night in Caracas comes the latest revelation in Latin‐American literature: an astonishing first novel based on true events. “When I was eleven years old, a hitman killed my father. I was just a young girl, who never thought something like that could happen. But it happened. It still pains me to think that just thirty‐five grams of steel and a gram of gunpowder was enough to end a family. I witnessed it. It ended mine. However, some thirty years later, here we are: with a dead father and a whole host of questions that nobody’s been able to answer. We’re still afloat, although we’ve been close to shipwreck many times. There’s two less crew members now, because one of my triplet brothers was also killed. This is the story of my family. To write it, I had to resurrect my father; and so this is also the story of how after his death, I had to kill him again to heal myself: a death impacts those who are left, not those who die. Because burying the body of a father to five children is by no means the end of a tragic story, rather only the beginning. I killed my father so that he could live forever in this book.”_Sara Jaramillo Klinkert A stunningly powerful tale in the context of normalized violence in Colombia, and the devastating impacts it carries on the lives of the individuals and families trying to live through such turbulent times.
