»Klimamigration«
Die Folgen des Klimawandels sind nicht mehr zu übersehen - und in Europa hält sich hartnäckig die Angst, dass seine verheerenden Auswirkungen in naher Zukunft eine gigantische Flüchtlingswelle anstoßen werden. Aber was wissen wir wirklich über die Auswirkungen der Erderwärmung auf Flucht und Migration? Benjamin Schraven erläutert, warum europäische Befürchtungen vor Millionen von »Klimaflüchtlingen« aus Teilen Afrikas oder Asiens viel mehr einer verzerrten Wahrnehmung als einer tatsächlichen Problemanalyse entspringen. Er stellt jedoch klar: Die Klimamigration ist ein virulentes Thema, mit dem Politik, Gesellschaft und Medien einen anderen Umgang finden müssen.
Murder, She Wrote: Highland Fling Murders
Jessica Fletcher and a group of friends from Cabot Cove take off for the British Isles and end up at a castle in Scotland in this Murder, She Wrote mystery... Scotland's most celebrated witch, executed long ago with a pitchfork through her heart, is said to haunt Inspector George Sutherland's family castle in the village of Wick. It's an intriguing tale and after a British book tour, Jessica accepts Sutherland's invitation to bring her Cabot Cove friends to the heather-covered Highlands. Indeed, after "roamin' in the gloamin'" with the handsome inspector, she spots a spectral woman in white in the gloomy castle. But Jessica's blood runs cold when she later finds a local lass executed in the same way as the legendary witch. Something is very vile in Wick. It's a case of evil, greed, and murder that pits Jessica Fletcher against a killer from this world—or maybe the next.

Idealism, Pragmatism, and Feminism
Idealism, Pragmatism, and Feminism provides an account of the life and writings of Ella Lyman Cabot (1866-1934), a woman who received formal training, but not formal recognition, in the field of classical American philosophy. It highlights the themes of idealism, pragmatism and feminism as they emerged in the course of career as an educational reformer and ethicist that spanned nearly four decades. Cabot's writings, developed in graduate seminars at Harvard and Radcliffe at the turn of the century complement, and in many cases anticipate, the thinking of the "fathers" of the American philosophical cannon: Charles Sanders Peirce, Josiah Royce, William James, and John Dewey. Her formal philoso...
