Mediating and Remediating Death
From the ritual object which functions as a substitute for the dead - thus acting as a medium for communicating with the ‘other world’ - to the representation of death, violence and suffering in media, or the use of online social networks as spaces of commemoration, media of various kinds are central to the communication and performance of death-related socio-cultural practices of individuals, groups and societies. This second volume of the Studies in Death, Materiality and Time series explores the ways in which such practices are subject to ‘re-mediation’; that is to say, processes by which well-known practices are re-presented in new ways through various media formats.

Crime Fiction in the City
Crime Fiction in the City: Capital Crimes expands upon previous studies of the urban space and crime by reflecting on the treatment of the capital city, a repository of authority, national identity and culture, within crime fiction. This wide-ranging collection looks at capital cities across Europe, from the more traditional centres of power - Paris, Rome and London - to Europe's most northern capital, Stockholm, and also considers the newly devolved capitals, Dublin, Edinburgh and Cardiff. The texts under consideration span the nineteenth-century city mysteries to contemporary populist crime fiction. The collection opens with a reflective essay by Ian Rankin and aims to inaugurate a dialogue between Anglophone and European crime writing; to explore the marginalised works of Irish and Welsh writers alongside established European crime writers and to interrogate the relationship between fact and fiction, creativity and criticism, within the crime genre.

Tatort Stadt
Nach fast vierzig Jahren erfolgreicher Sendegeschichte kann der »Tatort« den Anspruch erheben, als populärkulturelles und zeitkritisches Gedächtnis Deutschlands zu wirken. Die Reihe schickt ihre Ermittler in Städte und die Provinz und entwirft so eine mediale Krimi-Landkarte, die regionale Senderlandschaften abbildet. Der Band untersucht, wie Städte in Szene gesetzt, Räume und Orte im Krimi-Format erzählt werden. Mancher Schauplatz wird gerade als »Tatort« zum Brennpunkt; seine Eigenheiten erst im Vergleich mit anderen »Tatorten« zu einem Ort mit eigener Identität verdichtet. Am Sonntagabend werden so deutschlandweit kollektive Vorstellungen von Orten und Räumen geprägt.

Ecosystem Barents Sea
This book describes the marine ecosystem of the Barents Sea, located north of Norway and Russia as part of the Arctic Ocean. Basic knowledge is presented about components of the ecosystem from virus and bacteria via plankton and fish to seabirds through to marine mammals and their interactions with the physical environment. Ecosystem dynamics are given a prominent role in the book. Mathematical models of the plankton and important fish stocks are employed to help elucidate the interplay between populations and trophic levels. The situation regarding contaminants is reviewed, as is the newly established Norwegian plan for the management of the Barents Sea. The impact of global warming is also discussed. Ecosystem Barents Sea is written for all those with an interest in marine ecology in the arctic seas, including research institutes, governmental ecosystem management units, and natural resources organizations.
