Sina
Johanna Spyri, best known for her iconic Heidi, sends another young heroine into the world, this time to face the challenges of adulthood and professional life. Sina Normann leaves her close-knit alpine community to become one of the first women to attend medical school at the University of Zürich. Along her chosen path she must confront her family's fears, her instructors' prejudices, and the demands of her own heart. Published not long after women were first admitted to the University of Zürich, the novel is one of the first works in German to present female students seriously rather than as objects of humor. In her introduction, Anna Lisa Ohm argues that Sina may have been intended as a sequel to Heidi.

Mama Lola
Karen McCarthy Brown's classic book shatters stereotypes of Vodou by offering an intimate portrait of African-based religion in everyday life. She explores the importance of women's religious practices along with related themes of family and of social change. Weaving several of her own voices--analytic, descriptive, and personal--with the voices of her subjects in alternate chapters of traditional ethnography and ethnographic fiction, Brown presents herself as a character in Mama Lola's world and allows the reader to evaluate her interactions there. Startlingly original, Brown's work endures as an important experiment in ethnography as a social art form rooted in human relationships. A new preface, epilogue, bibliography, and a collection of family photographs tell the story of the effect of the book's publication on Mama Lola's life.
Lost Enlightenment
The forgotten story of Central Asia's enlightenment—its rise, fall, and enduring legacy In this sweeping and richly illustrated history, S. Frederick Starr tells the fascinating but largely unknown story of Central Asia's medieval enlightenment through the eventful lives and astonishing accomplishments of its greatest minds—remarkable figures who built a bridge to the modern world. Because nearly all of these figures wrote in Arabic, they were long assumed to have been Arabs.

Marketing for Social Change
Business as usual is not an option anymore. We need a new way of doing things and brands can no longer afford to stay silent on important social and environmental issues. With more consumer and legal scrutiny than ever before, brands need to work hard to ensure they embrace purpose in a long-term, sustainable and authentic way in order to actually create the social change they say they support. This is where Marketing for Social Change comes in. A deeply practical guide on how brands can take meaningful action whilst avoiding backlash, it outlines clear steps to building authentic purpose into the heart of business strategy. This book explores not only how you can find and define your brand's purpose but how you ensure that your purpose becomes an embedded part of your business rather than a mere PR stunt. By using real-world examples across a spectrum of issues such as The Body Shop's stance on animal testing to Nike's work with Colin Kaepernick, this book offers a guide of how marketers can create positive social change through creativity and action, regardless of the sort of company they work for, and how creating this positive change is beneficial for both society and business.
