Essays on and interviews with minoritized writers of contemporary Germany, mostly women or non-binary, whose literary interventions write radical diversity into the dominant culture and challenge fixed frames of identity. In Germany today, an increasing number of minoritized authors - many of them women, nonbinary, or other marginalized genders - are staging literary interventions that foreground the long-standing complexity and radical diversity of German identities. They are reconceiving, redefining, and rewriting understandings of "Germanness" by centering previously marginalized perspectives and challenging fixed frames of nationality, ethnicity, language, gender, sexuality, and even tim...
This book explores mate-finding and courtship behaviour in the insect world, in all its subtlety and diversity. Insects engage in courtship as much, or as little, as any other animal; they have songs and dances, and all manner of instruments and ornaments to attract and court the opposite sex. Insects have evolved complex chemical and acoustic communication systems, sending fragrant messages, visual signals and subtle vibrations to attract and persuade. Insects also have many different ways and means of choosing or rejecting mating partners. This beautifully illustrated book shows the incredible variety of courtship behaviours and celebrates the wonderful natural history of a wide range of insects. Varieties of courtship can occur before, during and even after copulation, and numerous examples of the different mating strategies used are presented. This landmark volume will be of interest to students of biology, entomologists, naturalists and anyone with a desire to know more about the love lives of the small creatures with which we share the planet.
Zoe Hagon offers a balanced treatment of the various approaches to channelling. She draws on actual case histories to explain the scope of channelling in a manner that is accessible to the beginner, yet still interesting to those with more experience.

Dieses Buch will Schluss machen mit der leidigen Diskussion um Migration. Millionen Menschen haben hierzulande ihre ureigenen Einwanderungsbiografien. Viel zu oft wird über sie gesprochen, die "Migranten", "Polacken", "Flüchtlinge" oder "Kanaken", statt einfach anzuerkennen, dass sie schon lange Teil unseres Zusammenlebens sind und für sic...
