Sustainability
This book proposes a holistic transdisciplinary approach to sustainability as a subject of social sciences. At the same time, this approach shows new ways, as perspectives of philosophy, political science, law, economics, sociology, cultural studies and others are here no longer regarded separately. Instead, integrated perspectives on the key issues are carved out: Perspectives on conditions of transformation to sustainability, on key instruments and the normative questions. This allows for a concise answer to urgent and controversial questions such as the following: Is the EU an environmental pioneer? Is it possible to achieve sustainability by purely technical means? If not: will that mean...
Ice Queen
Some secrets remain buried forever . . . When holocaust survivor, Jossi Goldberg, is found dead near his house in Frankfurt, a five-digit number is discovered scrawled in blood at the scene of his murder. The autopsy shows the victim has an old tattoo on his arm which connects him to Hitler's SS, making detectives Pia Kirchhoff and Oliver Bodenstein question Goldberg's true identity. Two more deaths reveal a link between the victims, but what is the secret they shared that the killer seems desperate should go no further? What else happened in the aftermath of the Second World War in Europe yet to be uncovered? Pia and Oliver follow a trail which leads them back to those dark days of wartime in the hope that they can find an eyewitness who may be able to come forward with the truth.
Brecht and Political Theatre
This production history of The Mother provides substantial new insights into Bertolt Brecht's theatre and drama, his impact on political theatre, and the relationship between text, performance, and politico-cultural context. As the only play which Brecht staged in the Weimar Republic, during his exile, and in the GDR, The Mother offers a unique opportunity to compare his theatrical practice in contrasting settings and at different points in his career. Through detailed analysis of original archival evidence, Bradley shows how Brecht became far more sensitive to his spectators' political views and cultural expectations, even making major tactical concessions in his 1951 production at the Berl...

WINNER of the BISA IPEG Book Prize 2015 http://www.bisa-ipeg.org/ipeg-book-prize-2015-winner-announced/ Under the rubric of ‘financial inclusion’, lending to the poor –in both the global North and global South –has become a highly lucrative and rapidly expanding industry since the 1990s. A key inquiry of this book is what is ‘the financial’ in which the poor are asked to join.
