Am Abend des 30. Janur 1945 torpedierte in der Ostsee ein sowjetische U-Boot das überfüllte deutsche Flüchtlingsschiff »Wilhelm Gustloff«. An Bord waren Frauen, Kinder, Verwundete. 7000 Menschen kamen in den eisigen Fluten um. Es war die größte Schiffskatastophe aller Zeiten, die weit mehr Opfer forderte als der Untergang der »Titanic«. Das britische Autorenteam dokumentiert in atemberaubender Weise noch einmal die bewegte Geschichte des Flagschiffs »Wilhelm Gustloff« vom Stapellauf bis zu dessen Untergang.

Walrus explores the intriguing and affecting history of an animal that remains on the frontline of contemporary conservation debates. Commercial walrus hunting was banned in the 1930s, and today only subsistence hunting is permitted, yet the mammal still faces an uncertain future. Shrinking pack-ice caused by global warming is causing serious problems for walrus herds, while the exploitation of arctic oil and gas resources puts further pressure on the animals. This important book combines natural, cultural and environmental histories to offer a refreshing and wonderfully illustrated account of the much-loved mammal. Walrus foregrounds the ethical dilemmas they embody, such as the continuing and intensifying conflict between the developed world and indigenous interests, and the impact of global warming on arctic animals. -- Publisher's website.

"Mike Kelley's Educational Complex (1995) presents forgotten spaces as subjective frames for trauma, real or imagined. A "complex" can be an architectural configuration, a psychological syndrome or a political apparatus. In this book, John Miller approaches Educational Complex through corresponding lines of enquiry, considering the representation of Kelley's schools (and his childhood home) as architectural models; popular fantasies associated with false memory syndrome; and the liberal democratic premises underpinning education"-

Mills Schrift über die Freiheit aus dem Jahre 1859 ist einer der großen Klassiker der politischen Philosophie und der Ethik: Mill versucht in dieser Abhandlung, die bürgerlichen bzw. individuellen Freiheiten zu rechtfertigen und vor der öffentlichen Meinung und der Tyrannei der Mehrheit zu schützen. Auf diese Weise ergibt sich ein leidenschaftliches Plädoyer für die Freiheit und die Entfaltungsmöglichkeiten des Individuums.
