Voland & Quist: Hotel zum verunglückten
Alpinisten

Hotel zum verunglückten Alpinisten

Das Buch lädt zu einer faszinierenden Reise durch mehr als vier Jahrhunderte höfischer Festkultur ein. Der Dresdner Carneval, erstmals 1553 unter Kurfürst Moritz gefeiert, entfaltete im 17. und 18. Jahrhundert seine größte Pracht, geprägt von prunkvollen Ringrennen, opulenten Opern, Maskenbällen und Festen venezianischer Lustbarkeit, die ab 1677 an der Elbe deutlich sichtbar wurde. 
Ausgehend von den umfangreichen Akten im Sächsischen Hauptstaatsarchiv erzählt Christoph Münch diese Tradition in zwölf lebendigen Episoden, die ausgewählte Feste aller Kurfürsten und Kurfürstinnen nachzeichnen: von Moritz über August den Starken bis Maria Antonia Walpurgis. 
Der Autor führt seine Leserinnen und Leser durch die Gemächer, Säle und Höfe des Residenzschlosses, in festlich erstrahlende Opernhäuser, in den barocken Zwinger und hinter die Kulissen einer Kultur, deren nahezu ununterbrochene Festtradition zu den ältesten Europas zählt und die 2022 mit dem Elbvenezianischen Carneval zu neuem Leben erwachte.
104 überwiegend zeitgenössische Abbildungen, darunter 49 in Farbe, lassen die Dresdner Carnevalsfeiern auch visuell wieder lebendig werden.

One of the great works of fiction to emerge from World War I, featuring an introduction by Booker Prize winner Julian Barnes A Penguin Classic Consisting of four novels—Some Do Not . . ., No More Parades, A Man Could Stand Up,&nbsp;and The Last Post—Parade's End is the story of Christopher Tietjens and his journey from the secure world of Edwardian England into World War I and beyond. Both a portrait of a love triangle—among Tietjens; his beautiful and reckless wife, Sylvia; and the suffragette Valentine—and a depiction of life on the Western Front, Parade's End is one of the greatest fictional works of the twentieth century. Ranging from the drawing rooms of England to the trenches of France and moving between past and present, it is a haunting exploration of identity, loss, and memory.

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.

The MIT Press Essential Knowledge series

A clear, nontechnical guide to why cryptocurrency exists, how it reshapes trust and money, and why it matters beyond speculation. How do we build trust in a digital world where institutions, platforms, and intermediaries increasingly mediate money, identity, and ownership? In Cryptocurrency and Blockchain, Marco Di Maggio offers an essential guide to cryptocurrencies and blockchains—two of the most misunderstood technological and economic transformations of the digital age. Rather than focusing on price charts, hype cycles, or programming details, Di Maggio explains why these technologies exist, what problems they attempt to solve, and why they matter for people who are not crypto insiders. Using plain language, analogies, and real-world examples, the book explains how cryptocurrencies reshape core concepts of money, property, markets, and governance. The author explores topics such as how and why Bitcoin is used as a financial fallback, what stablecoins are and how they have become critical infrastructure for global payments, and how NFTs introduced a new notion of ownership and identity on the internet. Written for curious readers, journalists, students, policymakers, and professionals, Cryptocurrency provides a conceptual framework for understanding crypto as infrastructure, not ideology—helping readers see past the noise to grasp the deeper forces reshaping money, trust, and coordination in the digital economy.

Der Fall des Eisernen Vorhangs hat die Teilung Europas zwar aufgehoben, doch das volle Potenzial seiner Wiedervereinigung hat der Kontinent bis heute nicht ausgeschöpft. Was wäre dieses einige und solidarische Europa für ein Ort? Dazu müssen wir das demokratische Europa vor allem als eine kulturelle Erfahrung verstehen; als eine Gemeinschaft von Bürgerinnen und Bürgern, die sich den Menschenrechten verpflichtet fühlen. 
Basil Kerski schreibt eine kleine Geschichte und Gegenwartskunde der ost-westeuropäischen Beziehungen und zeigt auf, wie maßgeblich kulturelle Annäherungen sie beeinflussen. Er plädiert für eine Neubestimmung des Verhältnisses von Ost und West in Zeiten der Erosion des transatlantischen Bündnisses, um die 1989 begonnene demokratische Revolution auf europäischer Ebene fortzusetzen.

Why do organizations keep causing harm? And how do we cure toxic cultures? "A timely, rigorous, and deeply unsettling book."—Amy C. Edmondson, Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management, Harvard Business School, and author of The Fearless Organization Not a week goes by with out yet another major organizational scandal: Open AI’s agents going rogue, Volkswagen’s emissions cheating, Boeing’s persistent safety issues, endemic police misconduct at the Oakland PD, and sexual abuse at yet another Roman Catholic Church. So why do do organizations keep causing these harms? Benjamin van Rooij and Nicholas Lord argue that to truly understand and address the impacts of dysfunctional organizations we must look beyond leadership and understand the deeper problems in the organization itself. To do so, Toxic uses dozens of in-depth case studies to connect the dots between various scandals and illustrate the deeper toxic patterns within organizations that lead to them. Each chapter recounts compelling stories of individuals caught within these toxic systems and addresses urgent societal challenges such as environmental degradation, the opioid epidemic, the harms of social media, and police abuse. Stories include:<ul><li>Facebook sought to grow from 1 billion to 5 billion users, leading it to enter Myanmar’s volatile ethnic context without having the knowledge or capacity to do proper content moderation, and thus contributing to genocide.</li><li>Don Parus, a BP engineer made an all-out effort to warn company leaders to invest in safety, just months before a major explosion killed fiteen and injured hundreds at its Texas City Refinery.</li><li>Keith Batt, a rookie at the Oakland Police Department, was made to witness, condone and participate in falsifying arrest records, planting evidence, and even in unsanctioned violence, all within two weeks on the job.</li></ul>Revealing, accessible, engaging, and unsettling, Toxic breaks down the core characteristics of toxic organizations and shows readers how to recognize and address toxicity in their everyday lives.

Die Mehrzahl der russischen Bürger ist überzeugt, »der Westen« plane einen Angriff auf ihr Land. Sind es nur die massiven Medienkampagnen, die diese kollektive Hysterie entfacht haben? Woher die Angst, die Aggressivität, der Hass gegen Andersdenkende? Irina Prochorowa blickt zurück auf die Gewaltgeschichte der Sowjetepoche: Oktoberrevolution, Entfesselung des Terrors, Gulag, Zweiter Weltkrieg. Kaum eine Familie, die nicht über Generationen von extremem Leid und seinen Folgen betroffen gewesen wäre. Das Verhältnis zu Schmerz und Verlust wurde vom Staat diktiert, in jubelnden Massenfesten ritualisiert. Individuelle Erinnerung verdrängen zu müssen war die Grunderfahrung der Gesellschaft. Warum lebt diese »Unfähigkeit zu trauern« bis heute fort? Ist sie der Grund für das kollektive Trauma verängstigter Bürger?

Das Fortleben der Gewalt

It’s fine.&nbsp;She’s&nbsp;fine. Really. When life’s turned you into a big hot mess, there’s still love, laughs, and snark to be had… Dr. Lizzie Wells, professor of British literature and bestselling author, is not okay. She wasn’t consulted when her beloved husband died unexpectedly, so she’s going to grieve however she damned well chooses. Keeping a lock of his hair in a choker around her neck and donning widow’s weeds. You bet. Notifying colleagues and students that she will only accept paper letters instead of email. Why not? Very nearly kissing her late husband’s best friend, Henry. Unfortunately, er…yes. So when she’s offered a trip to London, Lizzie grabs it. What better place to escape, heal, and be reborn than in the same city where Queen Victoria famously mourned her beloved Prince Albert? Encouraged by new friends to be bold, have champagne and oysters before noon, and celebrate the beauty and the messiness of life, Lizzie begins to embrace it all. Still, there’s that almost kiss with Henry she just can’t forget. Their&nbsp;cross-Atlantic ‘check-ins’&nbsp;turn into&nbsp;FaceTime hangouts and their friendship evolves into something more.&nbsp;When Henry shows up in London,&nbsp;Lizzie fears she’s falling in love with him… Will she bravely embrace this second chance, too?

A funny, heartwarming love story

How to Grieve Like a Victorian

The volume "Historical Biodiversity in the Alps: Grassland Agroecosystems in the Last Millennium" discusses seminatural meadows, the most species-rich habitat types in Central Europe. It establishes closer links between history and grassland ecology than most long-term agricultural environmental history research in European mountains.
The publication covers a broad spectrum of topics that go far beyond agricultural history. It presents mutual interactions between (historical) grassland management and biodiversity, as well as the economic relevance of the latter in terms of both farming and gathering, which was motivated by many different objectives. The volume combines analysis and synthesis, and micro- and macro-historical approaches. The latter extend to Levantine trade in the Middle East, the US, and zonal steppes worldwide. The text is complemented by 169 informative photos, maps, sketches, and graphs for a multidisciplinary readership.
The findings are based on a variety of archival records, historical publications, pictures, maps, oral interviews, historical artefacts, and fieldwork, presented in an interdisciplinary (also paleoenvironmental) and transdisciplinary context.
Species-rich meadows are in serious decline. To encourage in-depth transdisciplinary cooperation and better policymaking, the historical sections of the volume are followed by the applicability of grassland history in the twenty-first century in order to explore agroecological approaches not usually taken during the development and spread of industrialized farming since the mid-twentieth century.
