The Collected Works
Arthur Morrison (1863-1945) was an English author known for his detective stories, featuring the detective Martin Hewitt, realistic, lower class answer to Sherlock Holmes. Martin Hewitt stories are similar in style to those of Conan Doyle, cleverly plotted and very amusing, while the character himself is a bit less arrogant and a bit more charming than Holmes. Morrison is also known for his realistic novels and stories about working-class life in London's East End, A Child of the Jago being the best known.

The Shadows Around Us
The Shadows Around Us - Authentic Tales of the Supernatural The incidents set forth in the ensuing pages are as completely testified to as written facts well may be-that is to say, infinitely more care has been taken to verify and substantiate them than is taken to authenticate the matter-of-fact news published in a daily newspaper and accepted by everybody without question. For several of the cases the compiler is indebted to the investigations of the Society for Psychical Research. THE VAULT AT AHRENSBURG, THE LICHWAKE AT MONIFIETH, THE STRANGE EXPERIENCE OF MR. ROBERT BRUCE, THE WRAITH OF FRANCIS TANTUM, THE APPARITION OF LIEUTENANT COLT, THE STRANGE CASE OF ESTHER T--, THE POLTERGEIST OF LEIGNITZ CASTLE, THE BINSTEAD MYSTERY, THE TRANSLATION OF MAURICE TULLING, THE HAUNTED HOUSE AT WILLINGTON, NO. 15 ST. SWITHIN'S LANE, THE STRANGE CASE OF EMELIE SAGEE, THE HAUNTING OF WILLIAM MOIR, CURIOUS INCIDENT AT BEAUMARIS, A DOUBLE CASE"
The Nazi Genocide of the Roma
Using the framework of genocide, this volume analyzes the patterns of persecution of the Roma in Nazi-dominated Europe. Detailed case studies of France, Austria, Romania, Croatia, Ukraine, and Russia generate a critical mass of evidence that indicates criminal intent on the part of the Nazi regime to destroy the Roma as a distinct group. Other chapters examine the failure of the West German State to deliver justice, the Romani collective memory of the genocide, and the current political and historical debates. As this revealing volume shows, however inconsistent or geographically limited, over time, the mass murder acquired a systematic character and came to include ever larger segments of the Romani population regardless of the social status of individual members of the community.
The Roma: a Minority in Europe
The situation of the Roma in Europe, especially in the former communist states, is one of the more important human rights issues on the agenda of the international community, especially in the Euro-Atlantic bodies of integration. Within European states that have Roma populations there is a growing awareness that the matter must be confronted, and that there is a need for a concentrated effort to solve social problems and ease tensions between the Roma and the European nations among which they dwell. This volume is the result of an international conference held at Tel Aviv University in December 2002. The conference, one of the largest held among the academic community in the last decade, served as a unique forum for a multidisciplinary discussion on the past and present of the Roma in which both Roma and non-Roma scholars from various countries engaged.
The Power of Collegiality
Nadja Bieletzki explores how university presidents lead universities. She provides insights into the upper echelons of higher education management and focuses especially on university presidents in Germany. Special attention is given to the career background of university presidents and the way they conduct reform projects. Based on the results from semi-structured expert interviews and their qualitative analysis, the author shows that university presidents do not use all their formal power although their position has been strengthened by law. This can be explained by the collegial characteristics of universities, which drive and restrict presidential actions Nadja Bieletzki was awarded the Ulrich Teichler Prize for Excellent Dissertations 2016.
