No Way Down. Life and Death on K2

Bowley G: Kein Weg zurück

Kein Weg zurück

Leben und Sterben am K2 | Bergsteiger-Drama

*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?

Wisden Cricketers' Almanack 2026

The Surge is a timely, gripping account of humanity's battle against rising waters - and the urgent choices we must make for our future.Rising waters are flooding cities and homes across the globe, from Florida to Nepal. By 2050, 150 million people will live below the high tide line, facing an uncertain future as cities like London and Shanghai grapple with worsening floods. In this timely, panoramic and gripping book, climate editor Jeevan Vasagar traces humanity's responses to flooding over the centuries, from the deadly North Sea floods of 1953 to the catastrophic events of today.He explores the costly and complicated choices governments face: fight the water with ever- expanding defences, or adapt and move? Drawing on groundbreaking engineering solutions, Vasagar argues for a radical rethink - combining resistance and accommodation as we reimagine our cities. A stark warning, but also a message of hope, The Surge is essential reading for understanding how climate change is reshaping our world - and what we can do about it.

China Connections

This book examines the relationship between social capital and sense of well-being among China’s youth. This is a population on whose well-being hangs the long-term social and economic development prospects of the entire country. Understanding the forces that shape the subjective beliefs and objective experiences of Chinese youth takes on urgency in a time of rapid and profound social change. Social scientists have increasingly been interested in the pivotal role access to social capital plays in people’s life outcomes and self-assessment. This book applies some of those research findings to shed light on the current condition of and future outlook for youth in China.Yan Xu, Ph.D., is Associate Professor at School of Sociological Anthropology (with join appointment in the Zhongshan School of Medicine), and Fellow at Social Science Research Center, Sun Yat-sen University, China.

Adoption, Menschenhandel und die Suche nach Gerechtigkeit zwischen China und den USA: Die neue Reportage der renommierten und vielfach ausgezeichneten US-Journalistin Barbara DemickWeit über die Grenzen Chinas hinaus ist die sogenannte »Ein-Kind-Politik« berüchtigt. Nachdem sie 2016 offiziell beendet wurde, zeigen sich längst die Nachwirkungen dieser Strategie zur Eindämmung des Bevölkerungswachstums. Barbara Demicks Reportage erzählt die Geschichte der chinesischen Zwillinge Fangfang und Shuangjie, geboren 2000. Sie sind nicht die ersten Kinder ihrer Eltern und deshalb ein Dorn im Auge der Behörden. Doch der Versuch, die Zwillinge vor dem Staat zu schützen, scheitert. Fangfang wird ihrer Familie entrissen und zur Adoption freigegeben. Von einer christlichen Familie aufgenommen, wächst sie unter dem Namen Esther in Texas auf ‒ unwissend, entführt worden zu sein. »Overseas adoption wasn’t publicized inside China. To many Chinese, the idea that a baby had gone to the United States was as preposterous as if she had gone to Mars.« (Barbara Demick, The New Yorker) Wird Demicks unermüdliche aktivistische Arbeit die getrennten Zwillinge wieder zusammenbringen? Und werden sie sich wieder als die Schwestern fühlen, die sie einmal gewesen sind? Eine große Reportage über eine folgenschwere, grausame Politik und welche Auswirkungen sie auf die chinesische Bevölkerung und unzählige Adoptivfamilien hat. »Demick’s characters are richly drawn, and her stories, often reported over a span of years, deliver a rare emotional wallop.« (Kevin Peraino, The New York Times) Barbara Demick ist eine renommierte und vielfach ausgezeichnete Journalistin und Autorin. Als Fernostkorrespondentin der Los Angeles Times, unter anderem in Peking, erhielt sie einzigartige Einblicke in die chinesische Gesellschaft und ihr Leid unter den gefürchteten Familienplanungsbehörden. »Chinas entführte Töchter« ist Barbara Demicks viertes Buch bei Droemer, bereits erschienen sind »Buddhas vergessene Kinder« (2021), »Im Land des Flüsterns« (2016) und »Die Rosen von Sarajevo« (2012).

Chinas entführte Töchter

'A series of intelligent and fiery essays' The Sunday Times 'A landmark in British food writing' Jonathan Nunn 'Makes you laugh, think, and get a little angry' iPaper 'I started stitching together my story through a different, universal language: food.' An A-Z of Chinese Food (Recipes Not Included) is not a recipe book, but a deliberate 'anti-glossary' - a delectable edible anthology that serves up Chinese flavour beyond just its taste. Jenny Lau always found herself sitting between cultures, connected to both east and west. Hungry to understand herself, she threw herself into researching the Chinese food of her heritage. The result is An A-Z of Chinese Food - a surprising, unputdownable and deliciously enriching anthology that uses food to explore who we are and how we relate to the world. From A is for Authentic, breaking down our assumptions of who 'owns' what cuisine, to R is for Rice Cooker, a humorous entry from the point of view a hard-working kitchen appliance that has seen a family through its ups and downs, An A-Z of Chinese Food will change the way you think about, see, and eat, food. 'Lau's writing makes you laugh, think, and get a little angry - sometimes all at once. She tackles serious topics such as cultural appropriation, colonisation, racism and fetishisation in Chinese food with a lightness that never undermines their gravity' ANGELA HUI for iPaper 'I feel seen... I feel called out... I feel educated... I feel comforted and satiated. This is the book I needed growing up. Everyone should read this book!' JENNIFER LI, @bookmarkonthewall, book blogger 'A worthwhile and thoughtful corrective to many of the myths and over-simplifications about Chinese food in the West. Lau poses some great questions, which stayed with me long after I'd finished reading' BEE WILSON for The Sunday Times 'Using the universal language of food, Lau rips through an astonishing list of subjects with a uniquely original style. A must-read for lovers of food yes, but also lovers of exciting, daring writing' FOYLES Booksellers 'A groundbreaking rhapsody of a book, that brings something brand new to the canon of diasporic food writing. An A-Z that shines completely new light on Chinese culinary heritage, with an immediacy and spirited reverence that is a joy to read. Jenny Lau is a compelling and expressive storyteller: intricately weaving personal memoir, extensively researched cultural history and satirical humour with commanding eloquence. An instant classic from an essential new voice.' GURDEEP LOYAL, food &amp; travel writer 'An A-Z of Chinese Food is a landmark in British food writing, somewhere between a book, a magazine, and a treatise, but completely its own thing. Jenny has the rare ability to dissect unwieldy matters of identity, race and culture with the lightness of touch that all serious topics need, combatting preconceived notions about Chinese cuisine with immaculate research and subversive humour. This book is a tonic to the mainstream of food writing' JONATHAN NUNN 'A leading light in the British Chinese community' FUCHSIA DUNLOP

An A-Z of Chinese Food (Recipes Not Included)

This innovative study introduces the concept of xiangchou - homesickness and rural nostalgia - to English-language scholarship, using it as a lens through which to explore rural development in contemporary China. Using hometown ethnography, Linda Qian takes a village in Zhejiang province as her primary case study to demonstrate the emotional, social, and political forces shaping rural return migration and development policies. Through personal narratives and state-led initiatives, she reveals how xiangchou functions as both a 'structure of feeling' and a tool of affective governance. By intertwining lived experiences with broader social and political contexts, this study highlights the overlapping desires projected onto the countryside and underscores the significance of the 'rural' in the traditional concept of the 'hometown.'
