Anxious Journeys
The first book to offer a cutting-edge discussion of contemporary travel writing in German, Anxious Journeys looks both at classical tropes of travel writing and its connection to current debates. The rich contemporary literature of travel has been the focus of numerous recent publications in English that seek to understand how travel narratives, with their distinctive representations of identities, places, and cultures, respond to today's globalized, high-speed world characterized by the dual mass movements of tourism and migration. Yet a corresponding cutting-edge discussion of twenty-first-century travel writing in German has until now been missing. The fourteen essays in Anxious Journeys...
Cell Migration in Development and Disease
Cell Migration matches nearly all research areas in cell and developmental biology, genetics, and biomedicine. The field shows radical progress powered by the combination of new genomic tools, cell labeling techniques and the incorporation of new model systems. This is the first book to comprehensively cover cell migration from the identification of molecular mechanisms to the understanding of certain pathological disorders and cancer development.
Cell Migration: Signalling and Mechanisms
Cell migration is a highly complex process which involves several compartments of the cell, including surface receptors, signalling elements and the cytoskeleton. It plays an essential role in embryogenesis, wound healing and inflammatory responses, and a dysregulation of cell movement can cause pathological states such as developmental defects, chronic inflammation, cancer invasion and metastasis.
Into the Groove
A new and wide-ranging view of the confluence, since the 1990s, of the fields of contemporary literature and popular music in Germany.
Distant Kinship
This study of Joseph Conrad's influential work "Heart of Darkness" presents for the first time the German-language reception of this reference text in the debate on postcolonialism. The spectrum ranges from Conrad's contemporaries (like Kafka) to many canonical authors of the 20th century (including Thomas Mann, Ernst Jünger, Christa Wolf) to the most recent names in literature (i.e. Christian Kracht und Lukas Bärfuss). Beyond the readings of their works, the study contributes to the study of cultural transfers as well as to Conrad philology, and it expands the theory of intertextuality with parameters that capture the complex factor of power in postcolonial relations.
Stories of Success
This book is the latest volume in the highly successful series Comprehensive Biochemistry. It provides a historical and autobiographical perspective of the developments in the field through the contributions of leading individuals who reflect on their careers and their impact on biochemistry. Volume 46 is essential reading for everyone from graduate student to professor, placing in context major advances not only in biochemical terms but in relation to historical and social developments. Readers will be delighted by the lively style and the insight into the lives and careers of leading scientists of their time. - Contributors are distinguished scientists in the field - Unique series of personal recollections - Presents scientific research in a historical perspective

Christian Kracht revisited
Christian Kracht ist derzeit einer der umstrittensten, zuletzt auch gefeiertesten deutschsprachigen Autoren der Gegenwart mit einer zunehmend auch internationalen Ausstrahlung. Dabei stellt sein Werk die literarische Öffentlichkeit unentwegt vor neue Herausforderungen. Dieser Band versammelt Beiträge zu Kernkonzepten der Kracht’schen Poetik wie Ironie, Camp, Pop, dem unzuverlässigen Erzählen, dem Spiel mit den Grenzen des Sagbaren und der Gattungen, zu Intertextualität und Intermedialität sowie Meta- und Autofiktion. Er bietet neue Perspektiven auf Werkzusammenhänge, Buchgestaltung, Autorinszenierung sowie die Kracht-Rezeption in schulischen, medialen und literarischen Kontexten. Neben dem Romanwerk werden bislang weniger beachtete Texte wie etwa frühe Reportagen untersucht; aber auch in viel beforschten Texten wie Faserland sind neue Entdeckungen zu machen. Das Kompendium der Kracht-Philologie wird ergänzt durch den erstmaligen Abdruck der Bildserie „In Youth is Pleasure“, in der Christian Kracht sich an verschiedenen Orten der Welt zeigt, von Kindheits- und Jugendbildern bis hin zur Selbstinszenierung als Krisenreporter in Mogadischu und Tschernobyl.
