Groombridge Log
In 2155, 20 years after a lost war, humanity is imprisoned on Earth under an impenetrable slave shield. The only humans outside are a group of nearly 2000 men and women, assigned to serve their masters on a starbase in Earth's orbit. The starbase was supposed to be resupplied every five years, but already eight have passed without a word. Energy cores are exhausted and life support is failing. But then, just when all hope seems lost, they get visitors who might have the power to change everything. This book is the first part of the novelization of Star Control 2, a computer game released in 1992, which many still consider one of the best games of all time.
Eternal Doctrine
Six months have passed since the Precursor starship Vindicator arrived at the starbase in Earth's orbit. The Ur-Quan are busy fighting a civil war, but their forces are still grossly superior to those of the hastily assembled New Alliance of Free Stars. Both a carrot and a stick are bound to be needed when the Alliance deals with alien races. As Captain Zelnick of the Vindicator said: If you plan to save the galaxy, you have to be prepared to push a few old ladies down the stairs. This book continues where Groombridge Log left off and concludes the novelization of Star Control 2.
Motherhood in Patriarchy
„Motherhood in Patriarchy“ pioneers the argument that the current Western understanding of motherhood is a patriarchal one based on a long historical tradition of subjection and institutionalization. The book makes an important contribution to women’s studies on reproduction, feminist theory, motherhood and welfare politics, and offers alternative perspectives.
Huntington Co, In
Take a journey back in time as we recount the history of Huntington County, Indiana from 1834 - 1993. This comprehensive history makes the past come alive with hundreds of never before published photographs and nearly 1,000 family biographies. This will be a treasured volume for anyone with a link to this county.
European Regions
At the beginning of the 21st century, the EU is facing deep political, social, and economic changes. The benefit of supranational organization is no longer obvious to European citizens and questions of legitimacy have accompanied the EU's development over the last decades. Regions - albeit often deemed »obsolete« - present themselves as stable and reliable partners in this turbulent environment: in being important objects of identification to their citizens, but also relevant political and legal entities in the EU's multilevel governance system. This edited volume asks about the role of regions and regional identity in a European Union that is perhaps struggling more than ever about its future.
Branding Berlin
This book is a cultural history of post-Wall urban, social, political, and cultural transformations in Berlin. Branding Berlin: From Division to the Cultural Capital of Europe presents a cultural analysis of Berlin’s cultural production, including literature, film, memoirs and non-fiction works, art, media, urban branding campaigns, and cultural diversity initiatives put forth by the Berlin Senate, and allows readers to understand the various changes that transformed the formerly divided city of voids into a hip cultural capital. The book examines Berlin’s branding, urban-economic development, and its search for a post-Wall identity by focusing on manifestations of nostalgic longing in d...
Was ist der Sinn der Geschichte?
Die Frage nach dem Sinn der Geschichte fordert in der aktuellen Spannung von postmodernen und fundamentalisierenden Wirklichkeitsverständnissen heraus. Während postmodern der eine Sinn der einen Geschichte in Frage gestellt wird, vertreten fundamentalisierende Weltanschauungen radikal-exkludierende Auffassungen vom Sinn der Geschichte. Diese Spannung berührt auch die christliche Thematik der Heilsgeschichte. Der ev. Theologe Paul Tillich widmet sich im Rahmen seiner Eschatologie der Frage nach einem Geschichtsverständnis, das sich dieser Spannung stellt. Dieses Buch möchte deshalb einen Forschungsbeitrag zu Tillichs Geschichtsverständnis im Kontext seines theologischen Systems in seiner dreibändigen Systematischen Theologie leisten. Dabei sollen auch epigenetisch frühere Schriften von Tillich herangezogen werden.
Neo-Nazi Postmodern
From the violent skinhead protests of the early 1990s to the National Socialist Underground murder spree of the 2000s and the KSK (Kommando Spezialkräfte) scandal of 2020, this book traces Germany's long struggle to suppress a resurgent and ever more terroristic far-right scene. Esther Elizabeth Adaire analyses the electoral success of the AfD (Alternative für Deutschland) party in 2017, the growing presence of PEGIDA on German streets, and the anti-COVID lockdown protests led by conspiracy theorist groups such as Querdenken which have taken aback liberal onlookers for whom Germany's robust culture of Holocaust consciousness is supposed to provide a panacea against neo-Nazism. Adaire exami...
