Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book examines how older adults with physical disabilities living at home develop dietary resilience strategies to maintain independence, agency, and dignity in later life. Drawing on extensive theoretical literature and rich qualitat…ive research with home dwelling older adults, it analyses how people adapt to food related challenges associated with ageing (such as declining health, mobility limitations, sensory changes, financial constraints, retirement, widowhood, and social isolation) and how they mobilise personal, social, and cultural resources to sustain meaningful eating practices.Grounded in a robust conceptual framework that integrates gerontology, the life course perspective, nutritional science, gender studies, and the anthropology of food, the book reframes dietary resilience as a multidimensional process shaped not only by biological or nutritional needs but also by identity, cultural continuity, social relationships, and everyday experiences of agency. It reveals how older adults adapt recipes and routines, diversify food sources, reorganise kitchen environments, rely on supportive networks, practise mindful eating, and preserve pleasure and ritual in ways that reinforce autonomy and well being despite physical limitations. A key contribution of the book is its attention to gendered life histories and foodwork, showing how men and women draw on different forms of knowledge, social capital, and embodied experience to negotiate changing capabilities and roles in later life.Short yet comprehensive, the book foregrounds the sense of security and independence that food provides in old age and highlights strength based strategies through which older adults maintain quality of life. It concludes with practical implications for researchers, professionals, and caregivers seeking to support autonomy, culturally meaningful nutrition, and dignified ageing. 161 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book examines the forgotten proposal to make Constantinople the headquarters of the League of Nations after the First World War, in order to rethink the origins of modern international order. By tracing the debate between liberal int…ernationalism and Western imperialism, it shows how global governance was shaped by power, geography, and ideology rather than universal principles. The author argues that the choice of Geneva as the League s seat was not a neutral administrative decision, but a deeply political one. Focusing on the years from 1919 to 1920, the book reconstructs a critical moment when two competing visions of world order collided: the first, an inclusive, post-imperial internationalism advanced by figures such as David Davies, versus an imperial internationalism championed by policy-makers and the likes of Jan Smuts and Robert Henry Brand. At stake was whether the League would emerge as a genuinely global institution or as a reconfigured instrument of Western dominance. Drawing on pamphlets, Peace Conference minutes, parliamentary debates, and archival sources, the book offers a new perspective on postwar diplomacy, the League of Nations, and the spatial politics of international institutions. 108 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -'Brum has made an original and sophisticated contribution to contemporary debates on democratic alternatives to capitalism. It combines political economy, institutional analysis, and cultural critique with unusual clarity and ambition.' C…ostas Lapavitsas, University of LondonDemocratic Alternatives investigates the intersection of social democracy, market socialism, and the radical critique of the Situationist International. While the Situationists rejected reformism outright, their analysis of alienation, commodification, and the spectacle provides a powerful lens for evaluating institutional reforms in contemporary capitalism. This book argues that policies such as universal basic income, reduction of the working day, participatory urbanism, and cooperative management of resources though not revolutionary in themselves can open cracks in the dominant logic of capital. Drawing on a novel analytical framework, the book evaluates reforms through Situationist categories such as decommodification, autonomy, spatial reappropriation, and détournement of institutions. Two case studies Iceland s working-time reduction experiment and the Mondragón cooperative movement illustrate both the transformative potential and risks of co-optation. The book positions itself between the intransigent legacy of the Situationists and the practical necessity of reform, arguing for non-reformist reforms that create conditions for social experimentation, creativity, and political participation. Written with academic rigor and critical sensitivity, it offers scholars, students, and activists a methodological tool to assess when and how reforms may contribute to a post-spectacular society. 148 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book explores the role of algorithmic media services (e.g. Instagram, Google, Twitter/X, TikTok) in mass communication. It provides empirical analyses of these media as digital environments which shape news distribution, advertising…practices, and interpersonal communication. Drawing on interdisciplinary research from media studies, computer science, and communication, the book separates evidence-based insights from widespread folk theories about big tech companies and their role in society. By focusing on structural changes introduced by algorithmic mediation, this work contributes to ongoing discussions about digital literacy, regulation of big tech, and the future of democratic discourse. The structural focus also provides theoretical insights regarding dispersed gatekeeping roles in algorithmic media environments, the communication dynamics surrounding enshittification, and emerging forms of digital capital in the age of influencers. Overall, the book offers a pragmatic perspective toward the rapidly-evolving digital communication environment, emphasizing human agency and the potential for more purposeful engagement with algorithmic media. 168 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book explores the legal transformations and tensions emerging in the context of the ecological transition. It examines how various legal regimes are already adapting to the challenges posed by the ecological crisis and where legal sy…stems are under increasing pressure to change.Through a series of thematic chapters, the book identifies and analyses internal legal, political, ideological, and regulatory tensions that characterize the process of adaptation. These include conflicts between legality and environmental protection, the limits of legal frameworks in addressing transnational green capital flows, and the challenges of reconciling legal certainty with ecological imperatives.This volume maps the paths that law is already taking sometimes deliberately, sometimes reactively within the transition. Particular attention is given to how legal structures are shaped by competing visions of justice, growth, and sustainability, as well as the potential for legal thought to evolve in alignment with ecological principles. 144 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book explores two fundamental concepts in philosophy: truth and relation. These concepts indicate the unconditioned condition and the empirical-formal universe that truth unilaterally conditions, respectively. Indeed, truth condition…s the empirical-formal universe without being conditioned by it. It is argued that the reduction of truth to various theories explaining its empirical use has led to the unconditioned nature of truth itself being lost. But if truth is not grasped for its absolute value, it is reduced to relation.The book aims to show that the concept of relation if understood as a static construct of two terms and a nexus is a contradictory construct, since it reconciles the irreconcilable: dependence and independences of the related terms. Thus, only insofar as truth is absolute is it authentic truth, because it does not depend on anything else, but is autonomous and self-sufficient. Indeed, if truth were not absolute, it would be determined and, as such, would be defined by a limit that would place it in relation to something other than itself, i.e. non-truth. But this is contradictory as it would make truth reliant on what is not truth. Instead, no determination can ground itself: the circle of referring that requires the determination to refer beyond itself cannot be the ground, because it configures nothing other than an infinite regress.In conclusion, the book shows that truth has to be understood not only as the end of a quest, but also as its condition, since it is only in virtue of absolute truth that the inadequacy and therefore the unintelligibility of all that is finite or relative are recognised.Truth and Relation is essential reading for all scholars, researchers and advanced students of philosophy and, in particular, of metaphysics and epistemology. 98 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This open access book explores the story of early modern Swedish sailors and merchants captured and enslaved in the North African territory then known as Barbary (Algeria, Libya, Tunisia, and Morocco), and the efforts of their families, c…ommunities, and consuls to ransom them. Swedes were a minority among the Spaniards, Italians, Frenchmen, and British who were carried off. For that reason, Swedish authorities were initially unaware of their suffering; however, as the losses of men increased and awareness of their plight grew, it became a huge concern for Sweden s long-distance trade, particularly the import of salt essential for food preservation in the long winter months from Southern Europe.By studying the Swedish experience of encountering Barbary, the book illustrates how a small Lutheran state navigated global interests. This volume studies letters from captured and enslaved Swedish sailors and how this correspondence played a pivotal role in shaping slave narratives and by extension Swedish identity. The book also examines these letters social impact on local communities at home, the political pressure they exerted on government officials, and their cultural significance among intellectuals. In addition, the study highlights how Swedish consuls became integrated into the local power elite in North Africa, which facilitated diplomatic negotiations and opened up opportunities for commerce, including participation in the transport and trade of African slaves. 364 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -For decades, political science has been trapped in a game of labeling, endlessly searching for the next dominant 'model' of party organization. This book argues that this fixation on static ideal types is a theoretical dead end, as it obs…cures the messy, non-linear reality of how parties actually change.Moving beyond the 'teleological trap' of evolutionary models, this book proposes a new dynamic framework to trace party transformation across 11 European democracies over the last half-century. It reveals that parties are not converging into a new stable form, but are suffering a shared process of decay:disintermediation. The traditional bridge between leaders and society has collapsed, leaving behind a 'void' filled by consultants and state funds. This book offers a vital roadmap for understanding this crisis, showing that the era of party models is over, and the age of disintermediation has begun. 143 pp. Englisch.

Whi…le mainly focusing on the Western contexts, there will also be examples from other regions and cultural contexts such as Japan and Korea. Each chapter offers an in-depth analysis of a particular work(s) or artist/band rather than just name dropping mainstream and obscure work that many scholars, unfortunately, do. The study in its entirety belongs to cultural studies and the interpretive sciences. The target audience consists of other academic researchers, students and the broader audience of people who are interested in film and music (e.g., fans). 159 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The American nation has traditionally treated the Lost Cause as a singular phenomenon, a reactionary ideology built from the American South s perceived victimhood following the Civil War. However, in the myth of the Lost Cause, generation…s of American far-right individuals and groups have found an ideological and practical model. This book makes two interconnected arguments. First, it argues that there is evidence of modern Confederate and Southern nationalist groups evolving and incorporating more targets into their grievance infrastructures always in the language of victimhood. These targets progress as the status quo changes, keeping the perceived victimhood of the groups relevant as time passes and more traditionally marginalized communities contest for rights in the American experiment. The second argument is that through the politics and rhetoric of victimhood that find common cause with Trumpism, the Lost Cause remains relevant to conversations about the right s perceived victimhood focused on a lost status quo ante up to and including the two mythologies riding into battle together in defense of an electorally defeated president on January 6, 2021. 157 pp. Englisch.

The contributors take an interdisciplinary approach to foreign policy analysisthat is in…creasingly necessary in a global environment shaped less by traditional statecraft and more by overlapping, non-traditional challenges.Thebook places human well-being at the center of foreign policy analysis and highlights dynamics long treated as peripheral, including gender, the environment, civil society, and the transnational role of diasporas.Through historically grounded and theoretically informed chapters, the authors examine how these concepts and themes have shaped Turkish foreign policy since the founding of the Republic of Türkiye. They explore how these ideas have been understood, how regional and international developments have influenced policy choices, and how they continue to shape Türkiye s foreign policy today and into the future.Accessible and timely, this volume will be of interest to scholars and students of Turkish studies, international relations, and foreign policy analysis, as well as readers seeking a deeper understanding of how global challenges are reshaping foreign policy in practice. 302 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book offers a compelling exploration of Hans Jonas s philosophical legacy, focusing on the intertwined concepts of freedom and responsibility in relation to nature, ethics, and technology. Drawing on Jonas s post World War II writing…s, Angela Michelis traces his intellectual evolution from early studies of Gnosticism to his groundbreaking work in the philosophy of biology and ethics. The book presents Jonas s dynamic conception of organic life and outlines his principle of responsibility as a planetary ethic for the age of ecological crisis. Combining biographical insight based on exclusive interviews with Jonas s wife Lore with rigorous philosophical analysis, Michelis situates Jonas s thought within contemporary debates on sustainability, anthropocentrism, and the moral obligations of humanity. This timely volume reaffirms Jonas s relevance for today s urgent ethical challenges and serves as a valuable resource for scholars and students in philosophy, environmental studies, and bioethics. 192 pp. Englisch.

It covers the b…road range of Sino-Pakistan relations in the backdrop of Pakistan s complex political, governance, security, socio-environmental and technological challenges that hinder implementation of CPEC projects. Backed by robust empirical evidence, a unique feature of this volume is that it demystifies several myths about CPEC concerning debt-trap narrative, China s win-win proposition and Pakistan s mantra of game changer and fate changer . By examining Chinese infrastructure-building initiative vis-à-vis competing economic initiatives such as the US/G7-led Partnership for Global Infrastructure Investment, the Global Gateway strategy of the European Union, and the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor of the G20, a distinctive significance of this book is that it aptly situates the implications of China s growing role in Pakistan in broader regional and global context. 285 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book examines the link between gender equality and corruption in Europe. It argues that corruption is a central element in hampering gender equality development, since in corrupt contexts women are often locked out of positions of po…wer and have fewer opportunities to influence the will of the state. Furthermore, in corrupt contexts, resources intended for the public good are diverted to serve private interests, thereby depriving the state of opportunities to enforce progressive societal change.In addition to developing a new framework for the study of gender equality development that integrates the role played by corruption, the book also launches the concept of gender-sensitive state power, a notion based on progressive legislation and budget priorities that strengthen women s self-determination, combined with mechanisms that make states stable and ensure that resources do not leak in ways that compromise women s room to manoeuvre in society.This important book will appeal to all those interested in gender studies, corruption studies, and politics. 348 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Cruising Politics revalues the weaknesses of weak ties in political life, considering instead how these conditions enable different relational forms and tactics of direct democratic action. By cruising politics, Galloway surfaces the nove…l affective intensities, modes of relationality, and ethical valences animating the political affairs of contemporary radical agonistic democrats. Through critical engagements across objects ranging from philosophical allegory, wartime surrealist verse, and pre-AIDS queer film to hacktivist memes and mobile performative critique, they demonstrate that the fleeting, anonymous, and public affairs of cruising politics are not only amenable to but are today driving radical democratic politics under conditions of networked publicity. Whether analyzing the queer vicissitudes of the Ass Festival that concludes Nietzsche s Thus Spake Zarathustra, or examining how Critical Mass fashioned a radical democratic institutional form suited to recurrent events of contentious celebration, Galloway shifts our perspective on politics to the dynamics of the encounter, where receptivity to others responds to a shared desire while exercising a pluralist mode of judgment that conduces to concerted action around the pleasure of the deed and its recurrence. 290 pp. Englisch.

They also shape presidential tickets in major parties and nominate federal cabinet members, as well as decide who become their successors, a hallmark of godfatherism, in their states. In addition, they influence nominations to the Senate, House of Representatives, and State Houses of Assembly, and dominate local government finances and administration. Since 2007, former governors have routinely emerged as presidential contenders, underscoring their centrality to national politics. Yet, their outsized roles, have seldom been interrogated in Nigeria s political discourse. This detailed examination of gubernatorial authority, tactics, and consequences for democratic progress, governance procedures, and electoral dynamics in the Fourth Republic, fills a gap in the literature. 406 pp. Englisch.

The range of genres covered in this book, and the ways in which authors have been able to site their discussions in similar theoreti…cal ground (liminality, erasure, stereotypes) without the discussions ever feeling repetitive, is impressive.
