Professor Dr Moritz-Maria von Igelfeld

McCall Smith Alexander: The Lost
Language of Oysters / LF

The Lost Language of Oysters

Professor Moritz-Maria von Igelfeld is not just any German professor - he is the author of that great work of scholarship, Portuguese Irregular Verbs. His eminence in language studies is widely recognised, even if it is rarely acknowledged by his colleague, Professor Detlev-Amadeus Unterholzer, author of a much less important work on the subjunctive. Their rivalry bubbles away under the surface, but is apt to come into the open if something unusual disturbs the calm waters of the institute in Regensburg in which they both work. One such event is the entrance from New Orleans of two visiting scholars, Professor Pom Pom Boisseau and Professor Alice Martinique, Provencal language experts who arrive on large, noisy motorbikes... 'A charming tale of academic rivalry and ill-fated infatuation... marvellous' Scottish Field 'It's impossible not to root for von Igelfeld' Scotsman

Bloomsbury Writer's Guides and Anthologies

A complete introduction to the art and craft of extremely compressed works of imaginative literature, this book, now in its 2nd edition, introduces both traditional and innovative approaches to the short form and demonstrates how it possesses structure, logic, and coherence while simultaneously resisting expectations. With discussion questions, writing prompts, flash interviews, and illustrated key concepts, the book covers prose poetry, flash fiction, micro memoir, lyric essay, cross-genre/hybrid writing and much more. Two new chapters explore how to spark inspiration and innovation, and how to take the next steps by collaborating with partners and preparing work for publication. In this revised and expanded edition, H. K. Hummel and Stephanie Lenox present the ultimate companion to writing short fiction, featuring microplays, new short-form tactics, and a dozen fresh anthology pieces by Eve L. Ewing, Ross Gay, Jayne Anne Phillips, Gertrude Stein, and Jean Toomer, along with one-sentence student workshops that spotlight small but powerful moves in the short form. The extensive anthology showcases sixty short-form works including microplays and pieces by writers from Argentina, Chile, Guatemala, Canada, France, Greece, Bosnia, and the U.S., offering a vibrant mix of styles, forms, themes, and voices.

Short-Form Creative Writing

How do we design for connection?A sense of belonging is not a nice-to-have but a fundamental human need. At work, at home and in our communities, belonging shapes our health, wellbeing and ability to thrive. Yet as society becomes increasingly individualized and workplaces evolve, many people are left feeling disconnected and isolated.The Choir Effect introduces 12 practical principles for building trust, connection and belonging, drawn from scientific research, real-world examples and lived experience. Inspired by the remarkable bonding effects of communal singing, it explores what singing together reveals about human nature and translates those insights into practical tools for application in our everyday lives. Discover how to create environments where people feel safe, valued and connected, whether leading a team, strengthening personal relationships or building a community.At a time when loneliness, polarization and social fragmentation are on the rise, The Choir Effect offers a timely and hopeful response. Combining compelling stories, accessible research and practical exercises, it provides a framework for creating shared experiences that foster trust, connection and belonging.

How to build trust, connection and belonging in a fragmented world

The Choir Effect

'An unervingly honest and uncensored account of the claustrophobic intensity of new motherhood . . . a rare gift' Yorkshire Life 'A harsh and haunted Northern landscape mirrors the fears and fragilities of a new mother as she gradually discovers new ways of living - and of loving' Alice Jolly When Grace becomes unexpectedly pregnant, the rush of excitement and fear that she experiences is like joyriding again. Grace welcomes a partner and baby into her life, but after the euphoria of giving birth, she is overwhelmed by terrifying visions. The awesome beauty and dark history of Grace's childhood in Yorkshire moorland re-surface; she lives in terror of her baby's vulnerability and of her own capacity for violence. Grace's father is a police-officer haunted by an infamous case; her sister arrives with her own damaged and exuberant chaos. Learning how to mother forces Grace to revisit all her most intimate relationships - including with her own mother; it transforms how she understands her place in the world; it ushers in new forms of care that become sources of revelation. Tender, vivid and brave, raw content explores the most unsettling and taboo experiences of mothering with illuminating power. 'The landscape of Yorkshire is beautifully depicted . . . Another five-star read from Naomi Booth' NB Magazine 'Beautifully written, honest and gritty' The Sun

We vow for richer for poorer. We sacrifice for our children, we give back to our parents. Because in true love and family matters, money's irrelevant and it would be terrible to suggest otherwise. Right?

The Modern Money Questions That Could Save Your Relationships

Yours or Mine?

'Some of the most beautiful prose being written in Ireland today' Irish Times A Harper's most talked-about thriller novel 2025 A Irish Times Book of the Year 2025 A Critic Book of the Year 2025 Lorraine would say afterwards that she was smitten straight off with Paddy Farrell. You could tell that he was occupying the room in a different way, he found the spaces that fitted him. She was the kind of girl the papers called vivacious, always a bit of dazzle to her. Could she not see there was death about him? Could he not see there was death about her? Paddy worked the border, a place of road closures, hijackings, sudden death. Everything bootleg and tawdry, nobody is saying that the law is paid off but it is. This is strange terrain, unsolid, ghosted through. There's illicit cash coming across the border and Brendan's backstreet Bureau de Change is the place to launder it. Brendan knows the rogue lawyers, the nerve shot policemen, the alcoholic judges and he doesn't care about getting caught. For the Bureau crew getting caught is only the start of the game. Paddy and his associates were a ragged band and honourless and their worth to themselves was measured in thievery and fraud. But Lorraine was not a girl to be treated lightly. She's cast as a minx, a criminal's moll but she's bought a shotgun. And she's bought a grave.

a gritty tale of love and death in Northern Ireland

But from his first day, something is deeply wrong. The vast Canary Wharf office is empty, his line manager is a bundle of paranoid energy, and his work is monitored by WellBot, an AI wellness chatbot that demands total honesty while tracking his every move. As Joe's tasks descend into a surreal nightmare, he'll eventually learn that handing in his notice could have deadly consequences . . .

Into the Blue: Reese's Book Club

Exposes the anatomy of organizational harm and how to save institutions from toxic culture While we often read about corporate scandals, we are left wondering: why do organizations keep causing harm?​​​​​​​ Benjamin van Rooij and Nicholas Lord argue that to truly understand and address the impacts of dysfunctional organizations we must look beyond the senior executives and/or leaders 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>Boeing focusing so much on its day-to-day share price that it lost sight of ensuring the long-term safety of its 737 MAX airplanes.</li><li>Volkswagen experimenting with monkeys locked in cages breathing exhaust fumes in a desperate attempt to deny the harm of its “clean diesel” engines.</li><li>How the Oakland Police Department taught its rookies to engage in racist and abusive policing practices, resisting decades-long attempts to reform the department.</li></ul> Revealing, accessible, and engaging, Toxic, breaks down the core characteristics of toxic organizations and shows readers how to recognize and address toxicity in their everyday lives.
