Mord im Kessel

*Winner of the Elizabeth Longford Prize and the Franco-British Society Literary Award* *Shortlisted for the Duff Cooper Prize* A magnificent biography of the founder of ImpressionismIn the course of a long and exceptionally creative life, Claude Monet revolutionized painting and made some of the most iconic images in western art. Behind this great and famous artist is a volatile, voracious, nervous yet reckless man, largely unknown. Jackie Wullschläger's enthralling biography, based on thousands of never-before translated letters and unpublished sources, is the first account of Monet's turbulent private life and how it determined his expressive, sensuous, sensational painting. Monet said he was driven 'wild with the need to put down what I experience'. This rich and moving biography immerses us in that passionate experience, transforming our understanding of the man, his paintings and the fullness of his achievement.

Little Clothbound Classics

Little Clothbound Classics: irresistible, mini editions of short stories, novellas, and essays from the world’s greatest writers, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith. In these elegant and devastating tales of deception, desire, and social intrigue, Edith Wharton exposes the brittle veneer of civility that masks human ambition and longing. From the sunlit terraces of Rome to the drawing rooms of New York, Wharton’s characters navigate a world bound by class and convention yet charged with emotional undercurrents they barely understand. In “Roman Fever,” two middle-aged women confront the unspoken rivalries that have shadowed their friendship for decades; in “Mrs. Manstey’s View,” a lonely widow’s cherished glimpse of life beyond her window becomes the stage for a quiet tragedy; and in “After Holbein,” the elaborate pretenses of two aging New Yorkers reveal the haunting persistence of vanity and illusion. These Wharton works are the latest to join the Little Clothbound Classic series designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith.

European Administrative Governance

This book investigates the extent to which regions participate in and influence EU policymaking through the lens of Multi-Level Governance.Focusing on the 2021-2027 Cohesion Policy programme, it examines whether regions – traditionally central actors in EU governance – are progressively experiencing a diminishing role. By comparing the current programming cycle with previous ones, the book analyses the degree of regional participation in shaping the Cohesion Policy agenda setting. Adopting a comparative and empirically grounded approach, it explores two member states – Italy and France – and four regional case studies – Tuscany, Veneto, Brittany, and Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur. By assessing whether regional actors still effectively influence Cohesion Policy content, the book demonstrates that recent crises, including the financial crisis, rising Euroscepticism, and the COVID-19 pandemic, have accelerated centralisation trends within the EU. It also shows how instruments such as Next Generation EU and National Recovery and Resilience Plans have further strengthened national governments, often limiting meaningful regional involvement.Combining theoretical insights with policy relevance, this book will appeal to scholars of EU studies, public policy, and regional governance, as well as policymakers engaged in Cohesion Policy and the future of EU governance.Sara De Martino

Schnitzel, Mord & Tunke - Kommissar Hubsis erster Fall

Drei unterhaltsame Tierkrimis von Enid Kilbar in einem Band. Lady Jane und Sir Walter ermitteln.

Eine Leiche ohne Sarg

Im beschaulichen Dorf Marnhull im Süden Englands wird der betagte Mr Wornickle zu Grabe getragen. Doch in der frisch ausgehobenen Grube liegt bereits die notdürftig verscharrte Leiche einer ermordeten Frau. Keine Frage, dass Lady Jane, die neugierige Tigerkatze und ihr treuer Begleiter, der Mischlingshund Sir Walter, sich der Aufklärung dieses ominösen Mordfalles annehmen.


Tod im Arc Inn

Aus dem alten und ehedem baufälligen Herrenhaus, in dem die Tigerkatze Lady Jane und ihr Freund, der Mischlingshund Sir Walter leben, macht ihr Herrchen Onkel Tom kurzerhand ein Tierhotel. Die begeisterten Gäste sind Menschen, die sich selbst keine Haustiere halten können und sich während ihres Aufenthaltes um Findelkatzen und herrenlose Hunde kümmern dürfen. Doch unter den Gästen befindet sich ein Mörder. Natürlich sind Lady Jane und Sir Walter diesem bereits auf der Spur.


Eine Hochzeit und zwei Todesfälle

Das Herrchen von Lady Jane und Sir Walter hat mit knapp 60 Jahren die Frau seines Lebens gefunden und auch geheiratet. Doch die Hochzeit von Onkel Tom wird von einem grausigen Fund in einem Geheimgang des Familiensitzes überschattet. Und es bleibt auch nicht bei der einen Leiche. Die neugierige Tigerkatze und ihr treuer Begleiter, der Mischlingshund, legen sich mächtig ins Zeug, um die Morde aufzuklären.

Drei spannende Tierkrimis

Hund, Katze, Mord - Eine Leiche ohne Sarg

An in-depth exploration of the network of agencies involved in policing child pornography—and what the future of security and care looks like. Facing the Child investigates the technocratic expertise in the policing of child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Mitali Thakor argues that CSAM has come to be framed as primarily a digital problem, to be resolved digitally, thereby unleashing a new form of corporatized policing helmed by global technology companies. Ambitious in scope, this multi-sited global ethnography draws on 4 years of original fieldwork and interviews with technology companies in the US, the United Nations in Bangkok, Thai and Dutch NGOs, and law enforcement in the US and the Netherlands. The book argues that in the 2010s, a network of technology companies, NGOs, and law enforcement created the notion of a “virtual child” in need of techno-solutionist saving to justify a vast expansion of surveillance technologies. The book examines how pervasive myths of child abuse online were exploited to serve the aims of seemingly disparate groups, from Christian neo-abolitionists to NGOs conducting virtual sting operations. It is this complex relationship between the care and securitization needed to fix the child victim as an object of data, concern, and rescue that the book explores.

Surveillance, Care, and the Policing of Violent Digital Images

Facing the Child

From acclaimed #1&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;bestselling author Linda Lael Miller comes a beautifully rendered&nbsp;timeslip&nbsp;novel about the family we create for ourselves… Madison Bettencourt has tried to assemble all the pieces of a perfect life, but nothing fits quite the way it should. She’s moved back home to Montana to care for her grandmother, who is slipping further and further away. And she’s called off her wedding, and worries her dreams of a family are fading with it. As Madison rattles around her family home, childhood memories come flooding back. Bliss Morgan transformed eight-year-old Madison with her loyalty, and for a while, the two girls were as close as can be. But Madison never understood why Bliss suddenly vanished, leaving only a friendship bracelet and a message etched into a matchbook. Before she can begin again, Madison must uncover what happened to Bliss, and Liam McKettrick—a widowed dad trying to repair his relationship with his two children—becomes her unlikely ally. He, too, understands the pang of regret. Yet there are mysteries that Madison hesitates to explore with anyone, and strange energies in Bettencourt Hall that blur the lines between past and present.&nbsp; &nbsp; Poignant and utterly captivating,&nbsp;Where the Creek Bends&nbsp;shows that finding yourself begins with following your heart, no matter where it leads. Perfect for fans of: <ul> <li>Second Chances</li> <li>Family Drama</li> <li>Small Town settings</li> <li>Susan Mallery, Nicolas Sparks and Ashley Poston</li></ul>

Where the Creek Bends

Postal 6

This landmark collection provides new insights, concepts and techniques to understand and respond to tort claims based on illegal conduct. It is the first comparative study of this difficult field, which has remained contested despite numerous decisions of the highest courts in the common law world. The collection draws on scholars from common law and civilian jurisdictions spanning Argentina, Australia, Brazil, England and Wales, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Scotland, Singapore, Spain, South Africa and Sweden. Together they set out fact patterns, and justifications for tort liability to illustrate the coherence and unity that exists when courts address such claims. While common law legal systems have developed a specific defence of illegality for some of those fact patterns, civilian jurisdictions tend to see illegality operating, if at all, through the existing components of tort liability. The book explains how these different approaches have been reached, how they work, and what they reveal about reasoning in tort.

Understanding Tort Claims and Illegality

A small-town occult horror for fans of Mona Awad’s Bunny and Grady Hendrix’s The Final Girl Support Group, blending ritual magic, toxic friendship, and queer terror in the New England. Witchcraft was just a game. Until the bodies started piling up. Cinnamon Christine Carmichael doesn’t remember the killings. Not at first. But the blood on her hands, the whispers in her head, and the smile on her best friend Hedda’s face say enough. Something has been unleashed—and it’s using them to grow. Two teenagers are burned alive in a corn maze as the crowd watches, paralyzed, filming every second. It’s the latest in a string of ritualistic murders that defy explanation. Sheriff Henry McGinty has seen a lot in his time—but nothing like this. So he calls in Sister Eve. Eve sees what others can’t: echoes of the dead, glimpses of the future. But this time, the visions are fragmented. Wrong. As if something is blocking her sight. Something old. Something evil. Something wearing the face of her mother, reincarnated in the body of a teenage girl. As Halloween nears, Cinnamon’s coven races to complete a ritual that could bring the Devil himself to earth—and Eve, Henry, and irreverent deputy Fink may be the last line of defense between our world and utter damnation. Once the spell begins, it can't be undone. And Hell is already watching.
