In this modern day fairy tale, seven sisters raised in the woods fight to keep their freedom.Deep in the woods of western Finland, a bear hunter has raised his seven daughters to live off the land and steer clear of the trappings of life in town, like cell phones and a social life outside their family. When on his youngest Elga’s twelfth birthday the hunter is killed by his prey, and their mother dies soon thereafter, the sisters are left with unpaid bills and a leaky house. The tension between sticking to the wild ways their father taught them and submitting to well-meaning townsfolk’s efforts to “help” threatens to divide the seven sisters. Eldest Johanna tries to wield control, young Elga feels tempted by the pull to education, artist Laura spends all her time dreaming up sculptures and exploring nature – but their trips to the farmer’s market to sell foraged mushrooms and their free time exploring their vast forest home bring them together in riotous fun. With evocative language and visceral scene-setting, readers get lost in world they’ve invented together and join the fight to protect it.Inspired by Aleksis Kivi’s classic Finnish novel&nbsp;Seven Brothers&nbsp;(1870), The Bear Hunter’s Daughters is at once realistic and fantastical, an intensely sensory exploration of our essential bonds both with nature and with one another.

A Tale of Seven Sisters

The Bear Hunter's Daughters

In a world of lies, proof is power. John Dyer must take on a deadly political conspiracy in order to bring his friend's killer to justice in this gripping thriller by an award-winning writer. 'An addictive page-turner' Charles Beaumont Forty years ago four university friends in Michigan witnessed a terrible crime that went unpunished. John Dyer has done his best to forget that day but when two of the group die in suspicious circumstances his journalistic instincts push him to investigate. Why, after all this time, they are being silenced? Little does Dyer know that he is walking into a dangerous political conspiracy. When you're up against a presidential candidate and his operatives, and you can't trust anything you're told, how will Dyer find the proof he needs? 'Superbly written, with atmosphere, intelligence and tension, it reminds you of the best of Graham Greene. There can be no higher praise' Daily Mail 'A terrific novel' Literary Review

"Lost Worlds convinces us of the value of slowing down to recognize the tremendous diversity of the human past. But he presses hard against the conclusion that there was any direction or pattern behind its complexity." —The Wall Street Journal“A spellbinding tour de force!” —Walter Scheidel, author of What Is Ancient History?“This is non-fiction storytelling at its finest.” —Eric H. Cline, author of 1177 B.C.The creator of the hit podcast Tides of History offers a new look at humanity’s deep past, showing us how our world was built not by inevitability, but by trial and error on a global scale.There’s a familiar story about us humans: we went from hunting and gathering to farming, wandering bands to villages and cities, clans and chieftains to states and kings. But Lost Worlds offers a new narrative of humanity’s deep history. Here beloved podcast host Patrick Wyman focuses on the 10,000-year span between the end of the Ice Age and the decline of the Bronze Age—the period when civilization as we understand it emerged, introducing social hierarchies, urbanism, complex political organizations, and the written word.In this nuanced retelling, human progress is no longer a straight march from caves to cities: Farming didn’t always replace foraging, villages didn’t automatically spark agriculture, and cities didn’t necessitate rigid hierarchies. For thousands of years, humans merely improvised. By the end of the Bronze Age, the world had become unrecognizable: mammoths and giant sloths replaced by cattle and sheep, scattered nomadic bands replaced by millions living in cities, and farming on nearly every continent. Wyman argues that the rise of states and steady food production wasn’t inevitable, but rather, the outcome of countless choices that reshaped the planet and made us who we are today.Combining cutting-edge science with gripping storytelling, Lost Worlds explores: <ul><li>A Sweeping New History of the Ancient World: Discover how early societies rose, adapted, and collapsed across thousands of years of human history.</li><li>The Archaeology Revolution: Ancient DNA, climate science, and new excavation methods are revealing how prehistoric people lived, migrated, and fought.</li><li>From Ice Age Hunters to Early Civilizations: Follow the dramatic transformation that led from nomadic foragers to farming, cities, and powerful states.</li><li>Why Societies Rise—and Fall: Learn how climate change, migration, population growth, and conflict shaped the fate of early civilizations.</li></ul>

Navigating Tensions from Control to Transformation

Project Resilience

'As much a history of the deeply crooked culture of Italian politics as it is a vivid biography of one man' SUNDAY TIMES 'Fascinating' SPECTATOR 'Vivid and disturbing but utterly compelling' DAILY MAIL Corruption, sleaze and violence were woven into the fabric of twentieth-century Sicilian life, as the Mafia rose to dominance. This is the story of one man who stood in opposition. In 1986, the largest Mafia trial in Italy's history took place in Sicily: 471 men and 4 women took the stand, accused of horrific crimes. Sitting in the gallery was Leonardo Sciascia. One of the greatest European writers of the twentieth century, he had published the first Mafia novel, The Day of the Owl, in 1961, and was widely seen by Italians as a true moral figure in a country where corruption had seeped into every corner of public and private life. Sciascia had come of age as the Mafia grew to prominence across Sicily. Witnessing the scale of corruption and violence, Sciascia predicted it would soon spread north, and he was right: by the 1980s, the Mafia had infiltrated every level of Italian politics and grown into an international, highly successful business. In A Sicilian Man, prize-winning historian and biographer Caroline Moorehead charts Sciascia's life against the rise of the Mafia, and lays out the thrilling and devastating struggle that ensued for Italy's soul. 'Magnificent and deeply affecting' PHILIP HENSHER 'Vivid and knowledgeable... This feels like the book [Moorehead] was destined to write' LUCY HUGHES-HALLETT

After the End

Das Handbuch Hochschullehre der Polizei bietet einen umfassenden und zugleich fokussierten Überblick über die Themen der polizeilichen Hochschullehre im deutschsprachigen Raum. Es kombiniert eine aktuelle Bestandsaufnahme des theoretischen und empirischen Wissens mit praxisnahen Ansätzen zur Anwendung und Gestaltung der Hochschullehre in der Polizei.

Zwei zentrale Perspektiven prägen das Werk:

Die wissenschaftliche Perspektive&nbsp;stellt den aktuellen Wissensstand umfassend dar. Klassische Themen der Hochschullehre werden dabei auf die spezifischen Bedingungen und Besonderheiten der polizeilichen Bildungslandschaft bezogen.

Die praktische Perspektive&nbsp;beleuchtet den Vollzug der polizeilichen Hochschullehre in ihren verschiedenen Ausprägungen und zeigt konkrete Ansätze zur Umsetzung auf.

Mit diesem Ansatz beansprucht das Handbuch, das Standardwerk für die Gestaltung der polizeilichen Hochschullehre zu sein. Es richtet sich an Professor:innen, Dozent:innen, Polizeipraktiker:innen, Entscheidungstragende und Forschende, die einen praxisnahen und wissenschaftlich fundierten Zugang zu den Themen der polizeilichen Hochschullehre suchen.

Durch die Verbindung von Theorie und Praxis sowie den Austausch aktueller Forschungsergebnisse bietet das Handbuch eine fundierte Grundlage für die Weiterentwicklung der polizeilichen Bildungsarbeit. Durch das Vereinen der wissenschaftlichen und praktischen Perspektive auf die Lehre in der Polizei bringt das Handbuch aktuelle Forschungsergebnisse mit- und gegeneinander ins Gespräch.

Human-Animal Studies

After the scientific age in the 17th Century led to a break with the history of the representation of animals, which lasted approximately 30,000 years, the image of the animal currently shows a radical change. On the one hand, astonishing abilities have been discovered: thinking ravens and playful octopi. Here, agency is a central term: Can animals be subjects who actively intervene in human society? This new image has also increased the human need for emotional closeness. On the other hand, the human claim for absolute power over the life of animals is continued: Animals are being cloned, and synthetic biology is working on animals grown in the lab. Researching this schism between the interference with the evolution and an attitude towards animals that postulates subjectivity and demands animal rights, Bernd Hüppauf illuminates the heterogeneous animal images from the early modern period to the contemporary ecological crisis.

IPP Studies in the Frontiers of China’s Public Policy

This book explores the roles of land and housing in the China economic development. The real estate sector in China has two opposite effects on the urban economy. On one hand, it provides funds for urban development and on the other hand, its excessive expansion would depress the urban growth. To balance the two effects, the governments try to adjust their regulation policies dynamically. These policies to a great extent determine the rise and fall of urban economy. This book is divided in to four parts. The first part elaborates the relationship between the real estate sector and urban economy and explains the mechanism of the former’s impact on the later. The second part investigates the interaction of the real estate sector and the industrial sector and the consequences. The third part discusses the real estate tax reform and the affordable housing system. At the last part, I discuss the prospect of China real estate economy through the case of Evergrand’s debt crisis. The real estate sector is an essential part of China’s model of economic development, so this book will interest those readers who want to know the Chinese miracle of growth.

Three Decades of South African Democracy, Volume I

Das mittelalterliche Gräberfeld von Ramutten/Girkaliai (Ramüiai) in Litauen gehört zu den wichtigsten archäologischen Fundplätzen im ehemaligen Ostpreußen. Von dort haben sich mehr als 1.400 Grabbeigaben aus Bronze, Eisen, Glas, Bernstein und Leder aus dem 8./9.-13. Jahrhundert erhalten. Sie vermitteln ein anschauliches Bild der reichen materiellen Kultur dieser Region. Durch die Kombination von Originalen, Vergleichsfunden und Archivalien konnten über 240 Grabkomplexe methodisch rekonstruiert werden. Diese wissenschaftliche Re-Kontextualisierung erschließt sowohl die Bestattungssitten als auch die sozialen Strukturen und macht Ramutten zu einem Schlüsselplatz für die Erforschung der Kultur der Kuren und ihrer Verflechtungen im baltischen Raum.
