Brims with ideas and insights . . . Ghosh is at his sparkling best' IRISH TIMES Wild Fictions brings together Amitav Ghosh's extraordinary writing on the subjects that have obsessed him over the last twenty-five years: literature and language; climate change and the environment; human lives, travel, and discoveries. The spaces that we inhabit, and the way in which we occupy them, is a constant thread throughout this striking and expansive collection. From the significance of the commodification of the clove, the diversity of the mangrove forests in West Bengal and the radical fluidity of multilingualism, Wild Fictions is a powerful refutation of imperial violence, a fascinating exploration of the fictions we weave to absorb history, and a reminder of the importance of empathy. With the combination of moral passion, intellectual curiosity and literary elegance that defines his writing, Amitav Ghosh makes us understand the world in new, and urgent, ways. Together, the pieces within Wild Fictions chart a course that allows us to heal our relationships and restore a delicate balance with the volatile landscapes to which we all belong. 'We owe a great debt to Ghosh's brilliant mind, avenging pen, and huge soul' NAOMI KLEIN, author of This Changes Everything

Wild Fictions

WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE Missing, a young girl, Dora Bruder, age 15 One winter night in 1941, a Jewish girl runs away from her Paris boarding school. Stumbling across her disappearance listed in an old newspaper, Patrick Modiano finds himself propelled on a quest to exhume her fate. His search will go on to last a decade. Little more will be found, just fragments of a lost family history, a sense of the dark streets of occupied Paris, Dora's name on a list of those sent to Auschwitz. And the spectre of Modiano's own troubled past, from which he can no longer look away. 'One of France's most important novelists' The New York Times '[A] spokesman for the disappeared' Guardian

The Search Warrant

Rechtsgeschichte ist nicht nur ein Orchideenfach für einige wenige Interessierte. Es ist nach wie vor eines der zentralen Grundlagenfächer im juristischen Studium, und dies nicht ohne Grund: Die Rechtsgeschichte gehört in den Kanon jener Fächer, die Selbstvergewisserung und Perspektiven einer Disziplin eröffnen. Zu verstehen, woher Rechtsinstitute kommen, welchen ursprünglichen Anwendungsbereich sie hatten und was die Gründe für ihre Entwicklung waren, hilft bei einer kritischen Auseinandersetzung mit aktuellen Rechtsfragen. Historische Informiertheit kann zu einem tieferen und damit besseren Rechtsverständnis beitragen. Diesem Ziel widmet sich das neue NomosLehrbuch zur Rechtsgeschichte. 
Erörtert wird im Schwerpunkt die deutsche Rechtsgeschichte seit der Vormoderne. Das Lehrbuch nimmt dabei Rechtsentwicklungen insgesamt in den Blick. Vermieden werden anachronistische Rückprojektionen der heutigen Disziplinen Privatrecht, Strafrecht und Öffentliches Recht. Statt Vorgeschichten zu erzählen und Kontinuitäten zu betonen, wird den Lesern ein Gefühl für die Besonderheiten der modernen Rechtsordnungen in Abgrenzung zu älteren Rechtsformen vermittelt. Insbesondere verbindet das Lehrbuch die Rechtsgeschichte mit der Sozial- und Kulturgeschichte und beschreibt Rechtsgeschichte damit in ihrem kulturellen Kontext. Das Lehrbuch vermittelt damit die Fähigkeit zu einer eigenständigen Reflexion über die bestehende Rechtsordnung, indem es unterschiedliche Lösungsansätze für Rechtsprobleme unter verschiedenen sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Bedingungen aufzeigt.
Strukturprägend für das Lehrbuch sind Ereignisse, Institutionen und Thesen und weniger "große Männer" oder "große Werke". Sie werden eingebettet dargestellt in dem für eine Epoche als relevant erachteten thematischen Zusammenhang unter Verwendung möglichst neutraler Begriffe, um einen unvoreingenommenen Zugang zu ermöglichen, und um oft unreflektierte Assoziationen zu überlieferten historischen Deutungsmustern zu vermeiden.
Vertiefungsabschnitte am Ende zahlreicher Kapitel formulieren Forschungsfragen, die jeweils eine Vernetzung mit anderen Teilen des Werkes ermöglichen, sodass ein Verständnis für die größeren Zusammenhänge gefördert wird. Am Ende des Buches finden sich Wiederholungsfragen zur eigenständigen Repetition.

How Climate Change Shaped Human History

Climate Change, Economic Channels, and Historical Junctures

Bloomsbury Revelations

As relevant as it was at the time of publication, this landmark work remains timely and urgent in demonstrating how to examine questions of race, politics and crime in contemporary society. A formative text in cultural studies and criminology, it shows the relevance of conjunctural analysis to the current emergence of forms of authoritarian populist politics. Examining the crisis of the British state in the 1970s, the book explores how interacting economic, social and political conflicts and crises were displaced onto the problem of crime.

Now in the Bloomsbury Revelations series, this re-issue of the 35th Anniversary Edition includes a personal note from the authorsabout their co-author, the late Stuart Hall, and a brand new foreword by Michael Denning.

Mugging, the State and Law and Order

Policing the Crisis

Exploring 500 years of protest and resistance in US history—and what the unsung heroes of social movements past can teach us about navigating our chaotic world In this timely new book in Beacon’s successful ReVisioning History series, professor Gloria Browne-Marshall delves into the history of protest movements and rebellion in the United States. Beginning with Indigenous peoples’ resistance to European colonization and continuing through to today’s climate change demonstrations, Browne-Marshall expands how to think about protest through sharing select historical moments and revealing the role of key players involved in those efforts. Drawing upon legal documents, archival material, government documents and secondary sources, A Protest History of the United States gives voice to those who pushed back against the mistreatment of others, themselves, and in some instances planet Earth. Browne-Marshall highlights stories of individuals from all walks of life, backgrounds, and time periods who helped bring strong attention to their causes. Those examples of protest include those of Wahunsenacock, more commonly known to history as Chief Powhatan, who took on English invaders in pre-colonial America in 1607; legendary boxer Muhammad Ali's refusal to fight in Vietnam and appealed all the way to the US Supreme Court; and David Buckel, LGBTQ+ rights lawyer and environmental activist who protested against fossil fuels by committing self-immolation in 2018. Regardless of whether these protests accomplished their end goals, Browne-Marshall reminds us that not only is dissent meaningful and impactful but is an essential tool for eliciting long lasting change.

A Protest History of the United States

The first comprehensive history of mothers and mothering from antiquity to today, by the acclaimed author of UNWELL WOMEN 'An essential history' LEAH HAZARD 'A perfectly timed and illuminating triumph' LINDSEY FITZHARRIS 'This is the book we need right now . . . powerful and astonishing' MARIANNE LEVY 'Thoughtful, smart, and, sadly, really bloody urgent' CLAIRE LYNCH Mothers make history. For centuries, motherhood has sparked social and political change. Yet the acts of growing, birthing and nurturing children - and the power they hold - have been pushed to the margins, overlooked in our narratives of the past. In A Woman's Work, Elinor Cleghorn reveals the mothers, othermothers, midwives, activists, and community leaders who have shaped this extraordinary history. They include Hildegard of Bingen, the medieval nun and mystic with pioneering views about the maternal body; Mary Wollstonecraft, who laid the intellectual groundwork to release motherhood from male control; and Sojourner Truth, who drew attention to the abhorrent treatment of mothers under chattel slavery. Beginning in the ancient world, we learn how in each era, the patriarchy constructed its own idealised notion of motherhood - from the misogynistic dogma of the early church and the stigmatisation of single mothers in 17th century England all the way through to the post-war myth of the perfectly contented housewife. But we also learn how mothers of all classes and circumstances fought back, and lobbied to be valued, respected and supported - not as reproductive vessels, but as people. A Woman's Work is a radical and inspiring new history of mothering, and a timely reminder that the fight for reproductive freedom is far from over.

 Foundations of Real-World Economics&nbsp;Humans evolved to experience work as pleasurable and continued to find it pleasurable for the first 98% of our history, often likening it to play. The negative associations we see now with “work” stem from the extreme inequality and exploitation accompanying the rise of the state 5,500 years ago. Consequently, today many people view work negatively, seeing it as a means to gain income to enable consumption as opposed to serving as a means for creativity, community, and self-fulfillment.
 In 
 Why We Must Work
 , Jon D. Wisman draws upon economics, philosophy, evolutionary psychology, social anthropology, and history to explore how work has been experienced and understood over the course of history. In addressing current conditions, he notes the absurdity that, while we live with unparalleled abundance, some workers suffer unemployment and most are not free in their workplaces, often being bossed about. Equally absurd, given our abundance, is the extreme inequality that results in pervasive insecurity, stress, and pessimism. Laissez-faire ideology legitimates the public policies that generate this inequality and these work conditions while depicting ever greater consumption as opposed to meaningful work as the means to greater happiness.
 Wisman offers an attractive alternative vision of our future, grounded in two reforms to make work again fulfilling: guaranteed employment and workplace democracy. Guaranteed employment would provide security and eliminate poverty while providing everyone with the social and self-respect of being a productive member of society. Measures to bring about worker ownership and control of their firms would bring freedom and democracy to the workplace. Both reforms conform to cherished values while preserving capitalism’s two principal institutions of private property and markets.&nbsp;Jon D. Wisman
 is Professor of Economics at American University in Washington, DC. He served as President of the Association for Social Economics in 2002, has twice been selected by American University as Outstanding Teacher of the Year, and was named American University’s Scholar/Teacher of the Year in 2023. He was also a recipient of the 2023 Veblen-Commons Award, in recognition of his significant contributions to evolutionary institutional economics.
