A BBC Radio 2 Book Club Pick 'A love letter to Japan and its literature' Rowan Hisayo Buchanan 'Ingenious... Touching, surprising and sometimes heartbreaking' Guardian 'An ideal tonic for anyone craving far-flung adventure' Mail on Sunday 'If you're itching to read a new novel by David Mitchell...try this' The Times _______________ In Tokyo - one of the world's largest megacities - a stray cat is wending her way through the back alleys. And, with each detour, she brushes up against the seemingly disparate lives of the city-dwellers, connecting them in unexpected ways. But the city is changing. As it does, it pushes her to the margins where she chances upon a series of apparent strangers - from a homeless man squatting in an abandoned hotel, to a shut-in hermit afraid to leave his house, to a convenience store worker searching for love. The cat orbits Tokyo's denizens, drawing them ever closer. 'Masterfully weaves together seem...

Dieses Buch erschließt ein faszinierendes neuartiges Verständnis der Ursachen und Folgen von Traumata und schenkt jedem, der die zerstörerische Wirkung eines solchen Erlebnisses kennengelernt hat, Hoffnung und Klarheit. Traumata sind eines der großen gesundheitlichen Probleme unserer Zeit, nicht nur weil sie bei Unfall- und Verbrechensopfern eine so große Rolle spielen, sondern auch wegen der weniger offensichtlichen, aber gleichermaßen katastrophalen Auswirkungen sexueller und familiärer Gewalt und der verheerenden Wirkung von Mißbrauch, Mißhandlung, Vernachlässigung und Substanzabhängigkeiten. Bessel van der Kolk, der seit über dreißig Jahren in den Bereichen der Forschung und der klinischen Praxis an vorderster Front aktiv ist, beschreibt in seinem neuen Buch, daß das Entsetzen und die Isolation im Zentrum eines jeden Traumas buchstäblich Gehirn und Körper verändern. Neue Erkenntnisse über die Überlebensinstinkte erklären, warum Traumatisierte von unvorstellbaren Ängsten, Taubheitse...

"Ein klappriges Auto kam die Straße runtergefahren. Es fuhr langsam auf unser Haus zu und bog in die Garagenauffahrt ein. Eine Minute stand der hellblaue Lada Niva mit laufendem Motor vor unserer Garage, dann wurde der Motor abgestellt. Die Fahrertür ging auf, Tschick stieg aus. Er legte beide Ellenbogen aufs Autodach und sah zu, wie ich den Rasen sprengte. 'Ah', sagte er, und dann sagte er lange nichts mehr. 'Macht das Spaß?'" Mutter in der Entzugsklinik, Vater mit Assistentin auf Geschäftsreise: Maik Klingenberg wird die großen Ferien allein am Pool der elterlichen Villa verbringen. Doch dann kreuzt Tschick auf. Tschick, eigentlich Andrej Tschichatschow, kommt aus einem der Asi-Hochhäuser in Hellersdorf, hat es von der Förderschule irgendwie bis aufs Gymnasium geschafft und wirkt doch nicht gerade wie das Musterbeispiel der Integration. Außerdem hat er einen geklauten Wagen zur Hand. Und damit beginnt eine Reise ohne Karte und Kompass durch die sommerglüh...

It was the age of exploration, the age of empire and conquest, and human beings were extending their reach - and their numbers - as never before. In the process, they were intervening in the world's natural environment in equally unprecedented and dramatic ways. A sweeping work of environmental history, "The Unending Frontier" offers a truly global perspective on the profound impact of humanity on the natural world in the early modern period. John F. Richards identifies four broadly shared historical processes that speeded environmental change from roughly 1500 to 1800 c.e.: intensified human land use along settlement frontiers; biological invasions; commercial hunting of wildlife; and problems of energy scarcity. "The Unending Frontier" considers each of these trends in a series of case studies, sometimes of a particular place, such as Tokugawa Japan and early modern England and China, sometimes of a particular activity, such as the fur trade in North America a...

"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." George Orwell. In seventy-eight essays, seven prominent social critics question everything from government authority to COVID-19 in what has been called, "the most dangerous book ever published." This thought-provoking and empowering, even "criminal," anthology is a major challenge to the establishment, the ruling oligarchy, or whatever we choose to call the deep state, central planners, and mega-criminals who set and control global narratives. Readers are presented with an array of "forbidden" subjects and in-depth analyses that pull the rug underneath the elite and expose the lies that constitute the matrix. Among others, this book documents and casts light on: - Washington's deadly pursuit of hegemony camouflaged as the "War on Terror" and "spreading democracy." - The erosion of legal principles and elimination of civil and human rights under the...

What is the relationship of the individual to the state? What is the ideal state, and how can it bring about the most desirable life for its citizens? What sort of education should it provide? What is the purpose of amassing wealth? These are some of the questions Aristotle attempts to answer in one of the most intellectually stimulating works. Both heavily influenced by and critical of Plato's Republic and Laws, Politics represents the distillation of a lifetime of thought and observation. "Encyclopaedic knowledge has never, before or since, gone hand in hand with a logic so masculine or with speculation so profound," says H. W. C. Davis in his introduction. Students, teachers, and scholars will welcome this inexpensive new edition of the Benjamin Jowett translation, as will all readers interested in Greek thought, political theory, and depictions of the ideal state.
