Kutschbach D: Frida Kahlo [English
Edition]

Frida Kahlo [English Edition]

The Pop-up Book

The discovery of major offshore oil reserves in 2015 set Guyana on a transformative path, culminating in the establishment of its oil industry and positioning the country among the world’s top producers per capita. This rapid ascent contrasts sharply with decades of underdevelopment, when the country remained at the bottom of the global ladder despite its rich natural resources. Today, Guyana faces the dual challenge of managing newfound wealth and safeguarding against the resource curse and Dutch disease, all within a context of political polarization, ethnic diversity, and governance distress.
 
 This book examines the democratic foundations essential for stability and development, focusing on electoral system design and reform. It explores twelve systems in practice worldwide, the nuanced properties that shape electoral outcomes, and the implications of diversity for inclusive governance. The chapters also explore election management structures, which are critical to democratic legitimacy and fairness.
 
 Drawing on international experience and a growing body of literature, this book argues that Guyana’s development ambitions hinge on institutional strengthening—beginning with electoral reform. Electoral reform would take a targeted approach to improving fairness, reducing zero-sum governance, and creating conditions for sustainable democracy. The resulting book underscores the need for a comprehensive, consultative process and highlights the enduring roles of civil society and political elites in shaping institutional change.

Electoral Reform for a Stable Democracy in Guyana

Oil, Diversity, and Electoral Justice

This extraordinary memoir by Concha Lombardo de Miramón is the only known autobiography written by a nineteenth-century Mexican woman. In it she recounts her life from her birth in Mexico City to the beginning of her long European exile following her husband's execution for supporting Maximilian, the ill-fated Austrian prince who established an empire in Mexico. Now available for the first time in English, translated and edited by Silvia Marina Arrom, it offers rich insight into Mexico's past from a female perspective. Concha provides not only eyewitness accounts of Mexico's bitter civil wars and leading political figures, but also lively anecdotes of daily life that both confirm and question stereotypes about women and gender. Readers will enjoy, and relate to, her accounts of family secrets, childhood mischief, possessive boyfriends, marital spats, practical jokes, daring escapades, and, finally, a love story that ends in tragedy.

Von verschwundenen Vätern, schweigenden Müttern und großen Lügen in Familien - Jede Familie hat ihre Geheimnisse - dieses Buch macht Mut, sich den eigenen zu stellen

13 Geheimnisse

edition suhrkamp

Polen ist nicht das einzige Land in Europa, das von Rechtspopulisten regiert wird. Doch die Gespenster der Vergangenheit drängen hier mit besonderer Impertinenz an die Macht. Das liegt, so die These des Essays, an der Wirkmächtigkeit des Untergrunds. Widerstand gegen Fremdherrschaft, Besatzung und Krieg - man denke an den Untergrundstaat im Zweiten Weltkrieg oder die klandestin operierende Solidarnosc-Bewegung -, ist zentral für das nationale Selbstverständnis, der assoziationsreiche Grund, auf dem die Partei Recht und Gerechtigkeit (PiS) ihre Herrschaft errichtet: Untergrund macht Staat. Ist der Untergrund und mit ihm das Subversive, Widerständige nun für immer vergiftet? Oder gibt es neue, transnational orientierte Bürgerbewegungen »von unten«?

Perspectives on Global Affairs

With more than 180 million migrants worldwide, roughly 2.3 percent of the global population, migration is a global phenomenon, characterized by cross-border movements that are strikingly varied. This book discusses the current state of migration as a question of governance rather than crisis, examining contemporary migration movements within the legal, political, and economic structures that shape who may move, and why. The book focuses on Latin America, a region shaped by long histories of mobility, and the immigration policy frameworks of the United States, the European Union, and Latin America and the Caribbeans, tracing how different institutional architectures face similar migratory pressures but obtain markedly different outcomes. Ultimately, the book argues that migration functions as a governance barometer, by introducing the concept of policy elasticity, and exploring the limitations of existing “one-size-fits-all” approaches.

Mein verdammt verrücktes Leben - Die Autobiografie zum 70. Geburtstag des Entertainers

Sieben Bier, zu viel geraucht

Urs Grunder führt die Fotografie in Bildräume, die sich zwar vertraut geben, aber doch ins Unbekannte weisen. Ausgangspunkt sind selbst aufgenommene Fotografien, die er in einem aufwendigen Prozess immer neuen Veränderungen unterzieht. Nachdem ersten, intuitiven Blick wird das Bild beim zweiten, reflektierenden Blick in ein Werk transformiert, das sich vom ursprünglichen Motiv entfernt. So entsteht eine komplexe, vieldeutige Bildwirklichkeit, in der das Wiedererkennbare zerfällt und sich etwas Neues formt. Der Titel verweist auf die "dritte Bedeutung" - jene leise, dazwischenliegende Ebene, die erst beim wiederholten Betrachten freigelegt wird. Grunders Arbeiten kreisen um Wahrnehmung, Wirklichkeit und die Frage nach dem eigenen Ort darin. 
Das Buch versammelt Werke der letzten 50 Jahre und gibt einen retrospektiven Überblick über die unterschiedlichen Schaffensphasen. Neben bisher unveröffentlichten Bildern aus der analogen Ära werden auch neue Arbeiten präsentiert, die unter dem Einsatz verschiedenster technischer Mittel entstanden sind.

Ein Gefühl von Gegenwart

The pocket MBA for entrepreneurial moms and women of color&nbsp;who want to build a business from scratch, overcome financial obstacles, and shift the trajectory of their life, from a globally recognized entrepreneur, business coach, and digital educator. While starting a new business is hard for everyone—half close their doors within the first five years—it’s even harder for female entrepreneurs. Ellie Diop, founder and CEO of Ellievated Academy, Fully Funded Co., and Mommy to Millionaire, intimately knows the barriers that historically have kept women from economic freedom. She also knows how to overcome them.&nbsp; From starting her business with a single $1,200 stimulus check in 2020, to becoming a self-made millionaire in her very first year, Ellie has mastered the art of life changing entrepreneurial success—and now, with Girl, Start that Business!, she’s ready to share those secrets.&nbsp; The strategies within these pages are battle tested: Ellie has turned thousands of her clients into profitable business owners. And she’s done so by meeting them where they are. Ellie knows many women are starting from zero—no money, no business plan, no customers. What they do have is a great idea, hustle, heart, and street savvy. This non-judgmental, sassy, and whip-smart pocket MBA is what female entrepreneurs need to turn their dreams into life-changing reality.&nbsp; Let’s go, girl, start that business today!
