Von der Entstehung des Berliner Eisenbahnnetzes im 19. Jahrhundert bis zu der Zeit, als die Bomben des Zweiten Weltkriegs und die Berliner Mauer das Stadtbild für immer veränderten, zählte die deutsche Hauptstadt acht große Bahnhöfe. Es waren prachtvolle, imposante Monumente, Zentren ritualisierter Ankunft und Abreise.
Bahnhöfe sind magische Orte, sie verheißen Nostalgie und Aufbruch, Flucht und Ankunft. Sie sind Durchgangsstationen für Menschen aller Art, von wohlhabenden Geschäftsleuten bis hin zu den Pechvögeln am Rande unserer Gesellschaft. Dabei sind sie stets umgeben von Unruhe und Aufregung, erzeugt von Aufbrechenden, die sich auf ihre Reise freuen, von Ankommenden, die versuchen, sich an einem neuen Ort zurechtzufinden, und von Arbeitenden, die mit der Mühsal eines weiteren Pendelwegs konfrontiert sind.
Der Aufbau einer angemessenen Verkehrsinfrastruktur&nbsp;für die energiegeladene Metropole, die Berlin vor dem Zweiten Weltkrieg war, erwies sich als ständige Herausforderung und veränderte die Stadt in einer Weise, die noch heute deutlich sichtbar ist.
Dies ist die Geschichte der Berliner Bahnhöfe und der sie nutzenden Menschen, die das Gesicht der Stadt prägten.

'An optimistic and wryly funny book... rich with insights' OBSERVER 'I couldn't put it down' RUKMINI IYER 'I loved this book so much... Think: The Body Keeps the Score in practice not theory' ELLA RISBRIDGERSamantha's mother tongue is dying out. An urgent need to find out more becomes an expansive investigation into how to keep hold of her culture - and when to let it goThe daughter of Iraqi Jewish refugees, Samantha Ellis grew up surrounded by a language that's now on the verge of extinction.The realisation that her son will not understand her mother tongue opens the floodgates and the questions keep coming. How can she pass on the stories without passing on the trauma of displacement? Will her son ever love mango pickle?In her search for answers Samantha encounters demon bowls, the perils of kohl and the unexpected joys of fusion food in a journey that transports us from the calm of the British Museum to the banks of the River Tigris. As she considers what we lose and keep, she also asks what we might need to let go of to preserve our culture and ourselves.'A moving and resonant lament for the past but also a thought-provoking siren call for the future' ANNE SEBBA 'Urgent, alive, propulsive. I adored it' MARINA BENJAMIN

Chopping Onions on My Heart

A groundbreaking new perspective on catastrophes throughout human history, with vital lessons for our future'This book upended my understanding of the ancient world' Zoë Schlanger, author of The Light Eaters'Lizzie Wade is an exceptional journalist and a master storyteller' Ed Yong, author of An Immense WorldThe history of humanity is one of devastating, once-in-a-thousand-year events: rising seas that make land uninhabitable, decades-long droughts, civilisational collapse, epidemics like the Black Death and the Spanish Flu that reduce a city's population by fifty percent. And yet, despite enormous destruction and very real tragedy, these catastrophes all share one common denominator: we survived.In APOCALYPSE, Lizzie Wade reframes the story of human history to show how we can learn from these apocalyptic moments, seeing them not just as violent, world-ending events but as moments of progress and transformation. We travel back in deep time to when homo sapiensreplaced other human species including the Neanderthals, witness the fall of the kingdom of Old Egypt, the end of the Mayans and the Black Death, as well as lesser-known catastrophes. To weave this unique narrative, Lizzie introduces us to a new generation of archaeologists using cutting-edge technology to tell new stories about our deep past, including flying planes equipped with lasers over Mayan ruins deep in the jungle, scuba diving to the bottom of the ocean, and sequencing the DNA of ancient people to show how we are far more connected to our ancestors than we think.Written in a gripping style that reads like an Indiana Jones mystery, APOCALYPSE offers a refreshingly optimistic take on the crises our own generation and those after us will face - arguing that yes, catastrophes are painful and destructive, but we can and will survive them.

Local bronze coinage in Moesia and Thrace, traditionally labeled as "provincial", were minted in Greek-speaking towns yet they featured imperial portraits and utilized a repertoire of themes influenced by official propaganda. In 
 Coinage of the Roman Provinces of Moesia and Thrace
 , Renata Ciöek examines the role of these coins at the crossroads of civic identity and imperial authority. In this context she illustrates how this hybrid coinage functioned in reality: as a medium of exchange in local markets and military camps, as a channel of communication between rulers and their subjects, and as a tool for conveying the pride, religious practices, and aspirations of individual towns. Utilizing thousands of coin types, hoards, and finds from archaeological sites such as Novae, Marcianopolis, Nicopolis ad Istrum, and Philippopolis, she delineates the rise, evolution and decline of local mints from the 1st to the 3rd centuries AD, highlighting the peak of production during the Severan period and the gradual transition from civic issues to a standardized imperial currency. Particular emphasis is placed on iconography - from local river deities, healing gods, and heroes to imperial families and ceremonial medallions - as well as the effects of invasions and crises on monetary circulation. 
The outcome is a comprehensive depiction in which "provincial coinage" not only mirrors Roman ideology but also maintains unique regional identities, thereby challenging any simple dichotomy between center and province. The study comprises ten main chapters, three appendices, summaries in both German and Bulgarian, along with two catalogues and two sets of research, which are accessible via QR-code.

Coinage of the Roman Provinces of Moesia and Thrace: Imperial or Provincial?

The Legend of Kamui

The plot thickens in Shirato Sanpei's sweeping masterpiece! Long considered the greatest epic series in Japanese comics, The Legend of Kamui delicately balances the largest cast ever in manga while managing to make every character distinct. In this fourth installment of the groundbreaking saga, the outcast Kamui finally enters the order of the ninja. But soon, he is tasked with assassinating his teacher Akame who has joined forces with a high-powered merchant. Elsewhere, Shosuke's hard work and innovative ideas have ingratiated him with the farmer class, beginning to bridge the gap with outcasts in a move towards collaboration-at least, until he is arrested for helping start the Tamate uprising. The Legend of Kamui remains the most exciting adventure comic on the stands today while also managing to be the single greatest source for understanding Edo-period Japan and how ALL modern civilizations are built. Originally serialized between 1964 and 1971 in the legendary alt-manga magazine GARO, this landmark work of historical fiction is translated from the Japanese by Richard Rubinger with Noriko Rubinger.

The volume addresses issues of security and risk in economic and business history. A focus lies on the study of security in order to highlight the central role of preventive measures, corresponding corporate strategies, (public) demands for measures to promote security, and the conscious avoidance of actions considered risky. It is less on questions of risk avoidance and more on the analysis of decisions and strategies for creating stability and averting potential threats. The book aims at understanding how these security-oriented interventions and forward-looking approaches have shaped economy and businesses.

'A brilliant and captivating work ... There is simply no better book on Islam in history' Eugene Rogan From its birth in seventh-century Arabia, Islam has been a faith on the move. In Worlds of Islam, James McDougall explores its origins and transformations from Late Antiquity to the digital age. Over the span of a thousand years, armies, missionaries, and merchants carried it to the edges of Europe, the coasts of Southeast Asia, and the remote interior of China. By the nineteenth century, Islam encompassed a world of great diversity, from Muslim-ruled empires to nations where Muslims lived out their faith among many others. In the twentieth century, while monarchs in the Gulf asserted dynastic privilege and fundamentalists in Egypt and Pakistan preached social morality, revolutionaries from Algeria to Indonesia fought for national self-determination, and activists in North America and Europe campaigned for civil liberties and social justice. As empires fell and new superpowers rose, Muslims proved to be as adaptable and dynamic as modernity itself. Sweeping and authoritative, Worlds of Islam narrates the epic story of how Muslims emerged as a community, built empires, traversed the globe, came to number in the billions, and became modern.

Drugs, cartels, mafia, addiction, the FBI, and coercion - this is the untold story behind the tragic decline of soccer's most gifted and controversial legend. Maradona was soccer's ultimate genius - a magician on the pitch whose talent rivalled only Pelé. But off the field, the boy from the barrios of Buenos Aires became entangled in a dark web of criminal influence and personal demons. From the Cali Cartel's attempts to lure him into the drug trade, to the Camorra's grip on his life in Naples; from clashes with the Italian government to Pablo Escobar's sinister hospitality, Maradona's life was a battleground far beyond soccer. Battling addiction, betrayal, and exploitation, Maradona's story is one of genius corrupted - a man caught between adulation and self-destruction, whose medical neglect and FBI scrutiny culminated in a tragic end. Marking the 40th anniversary of Argentina's legendary 1986 World Cup victory,&nbsp;Killing Maradona&nbsp;is a searing investigation into the forces that destroyed soccer's first 'Golden Boy.'

Deeply personal and politically acute, in Autobiography of Cotton, Rivera Garza crafts a new kind of border novel that tells how a brittle land radically altered her grandparents' lives and the territories they helped develop. In this intimate fictionalisation, Rivera Garza reveals a rich social history of agricultural colonisation, labour activism, environmental degradation and cross-border migration.

*Shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize* 'A fascinating exploration of the linkages between ancestral inheritance, diasporic belonging, and our climate future... I read it in one sitting, which took me on a moving and often unexpected journey' Aube Rey Lescure 'Part of me knew what the hungry ghosts wanted all along, what they still want. It is not vengeance. No, they want something else, but we refuse to listen. They want us to face up to our broken obligations.' Every spring during the Qingming Festival, people return to their home villages in China to sweep the tombs of their ancestors, making offerings of food and incense to prevent them from becoming hungry ghosts that could cause misfortune. Yet for the past century, a time ruptured by war and revolution, many tombs have been left unattended. Following a record year of wildfires, Alice Mah returns to her family's rice village in South China, and discovers that her ancestors are almost forgotten, and there are no tombs left to sweep. Instead, there are incalculable clan debts to be paid.Here Mah chronicles her journey from the rice villages of South China to her home in post-industrial England, through the Chinatowns of Western Canada where she grew up, to the isles and industry of Scotland where she now lives. As years pass and fires rage on, she becomes increasingly troubled by her ancestors' neglected graves. Her research on pollution gives way to growing eco-anxiety, culminating in a crisis of spiritual belief.A haunting blend of memoir, cultural history and environmental exploration, Red Pockets confronts the hungry ghosts of our neglected ancestors, while searching for an acceptable offering. What do we owe to past and future generations? What do we owe to the places that we inhabit?
