Long ignored, the fascinating Baltic-German author Werner Bergengruen (d. 1964), once even nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature, is reintroduced here through the English translation of a selection of his best short stories. The bulk of the book consists of his Death from Reval (1939), in which we are confronted with a variety of perspectives on death as intertwined with people's lives in that Estonian city. We are invited to follow curious habits and attitudes by various survivors and thus learn to smile about and with death. In other novellas chosen from his extensive œuvre, Bergengruen offers thought-provoking and intriguing accounts about events in the Middle Ages and the early modern age concerning honor, love, freedom, marriage, power, and the importance of humility particularly in politics. Bergengruen emerges as an excellent observer of people's values and ideals, shortcomings and failures, as his short stories provide timeless messages relevant for our lives, often couched in historical settings.

Introduction written by Professor Benjamin B FerenczThis challenging volume examines the jurisprudence of international criminal justice from various points of view. The philosophy of justice may vary from time to time and from nation to nation, depending on prevailing attitudes towards the substantive rules which deal, in one way or another, with cultural norms. In the national and international area, the principles of criminal justice have a key role in examining the scope of the most serious violations of international criminal law. It is on the basis of appropriate judgment that these principles may be accumulated and achieved for the future conduct of man. This volume, therefore, examines the principles and dimensions of the constitutions of various international criminal tribunals/courts, with particular focus on the Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC). As such, the volume offers a comprehensive evaluation of the rule of law and criminal justice and their legal tasks within the complementarity system of international criminal jurisprudence.The volume emphasises the prosecution and punishment of all those who may successfully escape from the proceedings of national and international criminal courts because of their juridical, political, religious, economic or military power. It demands the implementation of international law of jus cogens. The provisions of the Statute should not be deduced in contradiction to the norms from which no derogation is possible, such as prohibitions governing crimes against humanity, torture, apartheid, rape, war crimes, genocide and aggression. If the value of the task of the Court is to be realised by the majority of states in the international community, the cycle of impunity has to be abolished in the case of all states, including the five permanent members of the Security Council of the United Nations.

This book comprises tales of the Labour Party in the hundred years since the first Labour government. It includes many dramatic episodes, not least the seething anger of the Glasgow rent strikes during the Great War, the looming danger of Hitler in the 1930s, and walkouts over equal pay in the 1960s. The book conjures up lost worlds which have profoundly influenced modern Britain. Above all, this book describes the ways in which the Labour Party has impacted on the lives of ordinary people. How does Labour measure up after a century of government and opposition? The book is accessible and challenges established narratives. It is also original. No-one else, for example, has written so specifically about the Labour Party and Nazi rearmament or about the Wilson government's response to the Beeching cuts. The text draws on a wide variety of sources, including the testimony of public figures such as John Betjeman, Richard Hoggart, Friedrich Engels, and George Orwell. Researched with scholarly rigour, this book will appeal to a wide audience.

The investigation of biodiversity, particularly in the 'hotspots', begins with the identification of living objects – the animals, fungi, and plants comprising the ecosystem. In the field conditions, it is important to reveal the attribution of the object to a taxon of higher level – to one or another family (this identification is later checked in the lab and can be corrected). This book describes for the first time in details morphological characters of all modern angiosperm families both in a wide sense (according to newest molecular data) and narrow sense (infrafamilial 'morphological groups'). Among them are such large and important families as the pea or bean family (Fabaceae, or Leguminosae), the rose family (Rosaceae), the beech family (Fagaceae), the gourd family (Cucurbitaceae), the staff-vine or bittersweet family (Celastraceae), as well as many families which include world famous ornamental plants – the paeony family (Paeoniaceae), the witch-hazel family (Hamamelidaceae), the begonia family (Begoniaceae), and so on. The book is illustrated with original photos, which show the principal morphological characters of the overwhelming majority of families of flowering plants which are important for their identification. This book will be interesting for taxonomists and phylogeneticists, evolutionary biologists, practicing nature conservationists, as well as for students specializing in various fields of plant sciences.

Over the last two decades, the Hong Kong government, as with governments in many societies, has taken an expansion of higher education as a strategy—a community college policy specifically—to equip young people with skills and knowledge for a new economy in tandem with promoting their social mobility. What seems overlooked is social nurturance could contradict social mobility when such an educational policy is implemented in a neo-liberal context. This book offers an ethnography on the learning of students at a community college in Hong Kong between 2005 and 2009 towards the goal of getting transferred to university; it illustrates how the community college policy could lead to distorted outcomes. In particular, the observation that some students could succeed in getting a transfer without really learning urges policy makers to recognise that inducing people with a demand for a bachelor's degree qualification does not necessarily lead them to take learning seriously.

This book's title clearly highlights one of its major elements- World War 2. However, the reader would have to access the abstract in order to understand the context in which the title page exists: WW2 being such a huge, but still very popular subject.The main target audience, of course, is academics and historians, both professional and local but also interested individuals who might wish to add to their depth of knowledge of the subject. Of particular interest is that the audience can trace the Wyrwoll family (via the oral history exercise) through major events from 1920 onwards. The family would have witnessed first-hand the Hitler regime, its sickening development and eventual demise. Of particular interest is absorbing the progress the family made following their emigration to Wales with other miners, the atmosphere the German employees had to contend with and the lengths they had to go to assimilate and never to return to their sending country-Germany.

In the 68 years since Vita Activa, Hannah Arendt's treatise on the nature of labour, work, and artistic creation, the three core activities have undergone and continue to undergo profound transformation. We present here a sustained, open-minded critical reflection on how we live and who we are, as a species. Our earthbound wisdom – individually and collectively informs our experience of soul-making and the world we share with other living beings. The kernel of the present work is that psychotherapy as lived attention, from person to person, needs to include in its corpus, its claim to heal, the issues and suffering which we confront in our present-day conditions, as the basis of our existence. In this book then we take a fresh look at the meaning of human labour, work, and artistic creation. This approach to human misery and well-being casts fresh light on the work of psychologists, psychotherapists and mental health professionals and their ostensible commitment to alleviate mental and emotional distress by benign means.

Why do love and doubt so often walk hand in hand?In this book, the complex interplay of intimacy, autonomy, commitment, uncertainty, and feelings of love and anger is brought to light. Drawing on in-depth qualitative research with young adults in India, it uncovers how ambivalence—those moments of being torn between closeness and space, autonomy and dependence, love and hate, certainty and doubt—shapes the very fabric of modern relationships.Blending psychological, sociological, and cultural perspectives, the book redefines ambivalence not as a flaw to be overcome but as a natural, even essential, part of human connection. It explores how partners think, feel, and behave when torn, and how these tensions influence love, conflict, and relationship stability.Timely and deeply relevant, this work offers fresh insight into the hidden dilemmas of love in a rapidly changing world. For researchers, students, and anyone who has wrestled with the paradoxes of romance, it provides a nuanced lens for understanding the beauty and challenges of ambivalent ties.

A neurinoma, also known as a schwannoma, is a benign, slow-growing tumor arising from Schwann cells, which form the myelin sheath around peripheral, cranial, or spinal nerves. It is encapsulated and typically displaces, rather than infiltrates, the associated nerve. Neurinomas can occur anywhere in the body but are most common in the head, neck, and along spinal nerve roots. Symptoms depend on tumor location and may include pain, sensory loss, weakness, hearing loss, or cranial nerve dysfunction. Imaging, particularly MRI, is crucial for diagnosis, often revealing a well-circumscribed, enhancing mass. Histologically, they show Antoni A and Antoni B areas with Verocay bodies. While malignant transformation is rare, surgical excision is the treatment of choice, aiming to preserve nerve function. In selected cases, stereotactic radiosurgery is used. Prognosis is generally excellent, though recurrence can occur if excision is incomplete. Genetic syndromes, such as neurofibromatosis type 2, may predispose to multiple lesions.
