"PFLICHTLEKTÜRE FÜR JEDEN, DER SICH FÜR DEUTSCHLANDS VERGANGENHEIT, GEGENWART UND ZUKUNFT INTERESSIERT." -CHRISTOPHER CLARK 
 
 Um 1500 werden in den Karten der frühen Kartographen und Berichten von Abenteurern und Reisenden erstmals die Spuren einer Nation erkennbar, die Jahrhunderte später Goethe und Schiller hervorbringen wird, aber auch den größten Massenmord der Weltgeschichte zu verantworten hat. Ist dieses "Deutschland" eine Nation mit einer festen Identität und einem angestammten "Volk", oder ist es weit eher ein historischer Raum, in dem sich konkurrierende Vorstellungen davon, was Deutschland ist oder werden soll, permanent ablösen? 
 
 
<div>
 Helmut Walser Smith geht in seinem elegant geschriebenen Werk der "longue durée" der deutschen Geschichte nach und hält die Idee der Nation und die Ideologie des Nationalismus so hellsichtig auseinander, wie es wohl nur einem Beobachter von außen möglich ist. Imaginationen von Deutschland und deutsche Wirklichkeiten stoßen in seinem geradezu anti-essentialistischen Buch hart aufeinander und entladen sich im 20. Jahrhundert in nationalistischen Exzessen, die Walser Smith ebenso eindringlich wie schonungslos schildert. Bis hin zur Bundestagsrede von Navid Kermani und den aktuellen Versuchen der AfD, sich der deutschen Geschichte zu bemächtigen, reicht diese kluge Meditation über Deutschland und das Erbe seiner Vergangenheit.

'When you finish, you'll know yourself better, you'll understand the people you care about better' ANGELA DUCKWORTH, author of Grit'Teeming with wisdom, insight, empathy, and sparkle. One of the best books I have ever read'CASS R. SUSNSTEIN, co-author of NoiseA founding father of behavioural economics reveals the hidden logic of negative emotions with a clarity and humour that make our worst feelings strangely easier to bear.
Every age has its illusions. Ours is that happiness is the natural human condition. Behavioural economist George Loewenstein argues the opposite: that our lives are inextricably shaped by the darker emotions we spend so much time trying to avoid.In The Opposite of Happiness, he draws on decades of influential research-as well as insights from literature and from his own life experiences-to offer a tour de force reexamination of the role negative emotions play in our lives: why pain is stickier than pleasure, how the modern world makes bad feelings worse, and why our attempts to escape misery usually only sharpen its sting. Those who struggle to find and sustain happiness are not unlucky or flawed, he argues, but merely human, suffering the slings and arrows of an inherently negative nature. This knowledge comes, however, not as a bitter pill but as much-needed solace for anyone navigating the frustrations and heartbreaks of modern life.In this fascinating deconstruction of negative emotions and their behavioral consequences, Loewenstein explains how features of our mind, like memory, attention, and self-esteem, conspire to keep us down. He reveals the downside of supposedly uplifting feelings like hope, and untangles misery's intertwined forms: guilt and shame, jealousy and envy, loneliness and depression, impatience, boredom, and regret. Drawing from a first-of-its-kind Misery Survey, Loewenstein shares participants' stories about, and insights into, the diversity of negative emotions that collectively weigh us down.Providing a provocative and refreshing counter argument to the self-help industry, The Opposite of Happiness shares a sobering, deeply human, and ultimately comforting truth: The sooner we understand our negative natures, the sooner we will stop feeling guilty about failing to achieve lasting bliss, and the better connected we will be to others who share the same, or their own unique mix of, negative emotions.

'Mary.' Her eyes went wide, lashes fluttering. 'What is that?''Well.

Perfect for fans of Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries and A Natural History of DragonsMary Anning wants to be a geomagician - a paleontologist who uses fossils to wield magic - but since the Geomagical Society of London refuses to admit women, she's stuck selling her discoveries to tourists instead. Then an ancient egg hatches in her hands, revealing a loveable baby pterodactyl Mary names Ajax, and she knows that this is the kind of scientific find that could make her career - if she's strategic.But when Mary contacts the Society about her discovery, they demand to take possession of Ajax. Their emissary is none other than Henry Stanton, a distinguished (and infuriatingly handsome) scholar... and the man who once broke Mary's heart. She knows she can't trust her fellow scholars, who want to discredit her and claim Ajax for their own, but Henry insists he believes in the brilliant Mary, and only wants to help her obtain the respect she deserves.Now Mary has a new mystery to solve that's buried deeper than any dinosaur skeleton: She must uncover the secrets behind the Society and the truth about Henry. As her conscience begins to chafe against her ambition, Mary must decide what lengths she's willing to go to finally belong - and what her heart really wants.'Jennifer Mandula's The Geomagician is a magical story with my favorite sort of heroine - intelligent and strong but with a tender heart. Come for the enchanting writing. Stay for the baby pterodactly!' MEG SHAFFER, USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE WISHING GAME

The Geomagician

Tectum - Sachbuch

Diese neue Geschichte der Liebe im Abendland blickt bis in die römische Antike zurück und zeigt, wie unterschiedlich dieses Gefühl, das uns heute so selbstverständlich erscheint, seitdem verstanden und gelebt wurde. Zahlreiche Zitate veranschaulichen die Bandbreite von erotischer, elterlicher und religiöser Liebe und zeigen, dass erst im Hochmittelalter ein prägender Wandel stattfand. In der weltlichen wie in der religiösen Kultur wurden nun wieder Ideen formuliert, die seit dem Ende der Antike aus allen Quellen verschwunden waren. Sie tauchten in Minnelyrik und Romanen auf und sollten alle kommenden Generationen beschäftigen. In Renaissance, Barock und Romantik vielfach variiert, sind sie bis heute zentral für unser Welt- und Menschenbild.

Peter Dinzelbacher ist Professor i. R. an der Universität Wien. Er promovierte 1973, habilitierte sich 1978 und lehrte in Deutschland, Österreich, Italien und Dänemark. Er ist Verfasser zahlreicher Bücher und Aufsätze, insbesondere zur Mentalität, Religiosität und Kunst des Mittelalters.

So Far Gone

Bear's World

This companion title to Natalia Shaloshvili’s award-winning book Bear is a funny and comforting take on how to cope with constant worrying. With a little help from his friend Duck, Bear finds that even when his biggest (cookie-related!) worries do come true, it’s not the end of the world. &nbsp; At first, Bear is happily munching his cookie, until a thought creeps in: what if it’s the last cookie? When this turns out to be true, he sets off for the shops – and his worries mount and mount. He worries about missing the bus . . . and it leaves without him. He worries he’ll get lost . . . and gets lost. By the time he finds the cookie queue, he’s at the very back;¿and his worst worry comes true. The very last cookie goes . . . to Duck!&nbsp; But just when Bear thinks his worst fears have been realised, Duck gently shows him that worries don’t have to end in disaster. By sharing his cookie and reminding Bear that ‘what ifs’ can lead to happy endings too, Duck helps his friend see that things often turn out better than expected.&nbsp; Complete with Natalia Shaloshvili’s expressive, playful illustrations and a story that balances humour with warmth, Bear Worries captures the familiar experience of children (and adults) whose imaginations run away with them. Both entertaining and reassuring, this picture book is the perfect springboard for conversations about anxiety, resilience and friendship.&nbsp; Whether shared at storytime, used in classrooms or given as a thoughtful gift, Bear Worries is an essential addition to every child’s bookshelf. It offers the reminder that no worry is too big when faced together.&nbsp;&nbsp;
