Heat, a History
Shifts the conversation from abstract “global warming” to the deeply human impacts of heat—and how our efforts to keep cool have made the problem worse. Despite the flames of record-breaking temperatures licking at our feet, most people fail to fully grasp the gravity of environmental overheating. What acquired habits and conveniences allow us to turn a blind eye with an air of detachment? Using examples from the hottest places on earth, Heat, a History shows how scientific methods of accounting for heat and modern forms of acclimatization have desensitized us to climate change. Ubiquitous air conditioning, shifts in urban planning, and changes in mobility have served as temporary remedies for escaping the heat in hotspots such as the twentieth-century Middle East. However, all of these measures have ultimately fueled not only greenhouse gas emissions but also a collective myopia regarding the impact of rising temperatures. Identifying the scientific, economic, and cultural forces that have numbed our responses, this book charts a way out of short-term thinking and towards meaningful action.

Shakespeare and Adaptation Theory
Shakespeare and Adaptation Theory reconsiders, after 20 years of intense critical and creative activity, the theory and practice of adapting Shakespeare to different genres and media. Organized around clusters of key metaphors, the book explicates the principal theories informing the field of Shakespearean adaptation and surveys the growing field of case studies by Shakespeare scholars. Each chapter also looks anew at a specific Shakespeare play from the perspective of a prevailing set of theories and metaphors. Having identified the key critics responsible for developing these metaphors and for framing the discussion in this way, Iyengar moves on to analyze afresh the implications of these ...

THE THREEFOLDING MOVEMENT, 1919
Following the end of WW1, Germany faced a period of revolutionary upheaval and general unrest. In the midst of these tumultuous events, Rudolf Steiner’s pioneering movement for social threefolding rallied around a unique conception. Its three principal goals were to promote human rights and equality in political life, freedom in cultural life and associative cooperation in economic life. Albert Schmelzer’s engaging yet rigorous study, the most complete to date, recounts the movement’s practical attempts to bring about social threefolding in 1919, giving lively descriptions of the principal characters involved. Apart from this detailed history, The Threefolding Movement, 1919 offers an ...
Weihnachtswunder gesucht
Als Vollwaise verbinde ich mit Weihnachten nicht unbedingt glückliche Kindheitserinnerungen. Ironischerweise bekomme ausgerechnet ich eine E-Mail vom Bürgermeister von Neuhnfelde – dem Ort, in dem das ganze Jahr über Weihnachten ist. Ich soll eine Mühle geerbt haben und die Stadt will sie mir abkaufen. Dagegen habe ich grundsätzlich nichts einzuwenden, allerdings ist meine Neugierde geweckt, schließlich muss mein Erbe ja irgendwo hergekommen sein. Also fahre ich nach Neuhnfelde, um mir anzusehen, wo die Leute gelebt haben, die mich nicht wollten. Bleiben werde ich keinesfalls. Weihnachten ist einfach nichts für mich, noch weniger mitten im Sommer. Erstaunlicherweise finde ich viel, ...
