What if some of the artists we feel as if we know—Meryl Streep, Neil Young, Bill Murray—turned up in the course of our daily lives?
This is what happens to Rose McEwan, an ordinary woman who keeps having strange encounters with famous people. In this engrossing, original novel-in-stories, we follow her life from age 17, when she takes a summer writing course led by a young John Updike, through her first heartbreak (witnessed by Joni Mitchell) on the island of Crete, through her marriage, divorce, and a canoe trip with Taylor Swift, Leonard Cohen and Karl Ove Knausgaard. (Yes, read on.)
With wit and insight, Marni Jackson takes a world obsessed with celebrity and turns it on its head. In Don’t I Know You?, she shows us how fame is just another form of fiction, and how, in the end, the daily dramas of an ordinary woman’s life can be as captivating and poignant as any luminary tell-all.

Keeping the Baby in Mind builds on the expanding evidence pointing to the crucial importance of parents in facilitating their baby’s development, and brings together expert contributors to examine a range of innovative psychological and psychotherapeutic interventions that are currently being used to support parents and their infants. It not only provides an overview of the many projects that are now available but also makes recommendations for future practice and the way in which children’s services are organised.
The book brings together interventions and ways of working that can be used both universally to support parents during the transition to parenthood, and with high-risk groups of parents where for example there may be child protection concerns or parents experience severe mental health problems. Each chapter describes the evidence supporting the need for such interventions and the approach being developed, and concludes with a description of its evaluation.
Keeping the Baby in Mind marks a new and exciting phase in the development of interventions to support infant mental health and will be of interest across a wide range of disciplines from primary and community care to early years and Children’s Centre settings.

Das Vertragsrecht wird für den Einkauf immer wichtiger. Enge Margen lassen einen kooperativen Einkaufsstil immer weniger zu. Dagegen werden vertragliche Abreden immer wichtiger. Auch die Globalisierung treibt diesen Trend, denn das Sourcing in Niedrigpreisländern bedeutet den Wechsel von bewährten Lieferanten, zu denen ein Vertrauensverhältnis bestand, zu unbekannten Lieferanten, bei denen nur, als letzte Konsequenz, die Drohung mit rechtlichen Schritten bleibt. Rechtliches Grundwissen ist für jeden Einkäufer unabdingbar und gehört zu seinem Handwerkszeug.

Modern theory needs a history lesson. Neither Marx nor Nietzsche first gave us theory—Hegel did. To support this contention, Andrew Cole’s The Birth of Theory presents a refreshingly clear and lively account of the origins and legacy of Hegel’s dialectic as theory. Cole explains how Hegel boldly broke from modern philosophy when he adopted medieval dialectical habits of thought to fashion his own dialectic. While his contemporaries rejected premodern dialectic as outdated dogma, Hegel embraced both its emphasis on language as thought and its fascination with the categories of identity and difference, creating what we now recognize as theory, distinct from systematic philosophy. Not content merely to change philosophy, Hegel also used this dialectic to expose the persistent archaism of modern life itself, Cole shows, establishing a method of social analysis that has influenced everyone from Marx and the nineteenth-century Hegelians, to Nietzsche and Bakhtin, all the way to Deleuze and Jameson.
By uncovering these theoretical filiations across time, The Birth of Theory will not only change the way we read Hegel, but also the way we think about the histories of theory. With chapters that powerfully reanimate the overly familiar topics of ideology, commodity fetishism, and political economy, along with a groundbreaking reinterpretation of Hegel’s famous master/slave dialectic, The Birth of Theory places the disciplines of philosophy, literature, and history in conversation with one another in an unprecedented way. Daring to reconcile the sworn enemies of Hegelianism and Deleuzianism, this timely book will revitalize dialectics for the twenty-first century.

Die Geschichte der Nachkriegszeitung Südost-Kurier
Die Neuordnung des Pressewesens nach 1945 war eine der erfolgreichsten Maßnahmen der Alliierten zur Demokratisierung Deutschlands. Anstelle der traditionellen Blätter, deren Zahl in die Tausende ging, gründeten die Besatzungsmächte insgesamt 156 Lizenzzeitungen. Mit dieser strukturellen Zäsur ging zudem ein personeller Neuanfang einher. Besonders die Amerikaner sahen in den Lizenzzeitungen ein Mittel zur Verankerung der Demokratie und betrieben dementsprechend die Auswahl ihrer Lizenzträger. Aber noch vor Abzug der Militärregierung und vor dem Ende der Lizenzpflicht im Jahr 1949 machten die von den Alliierten – oder bereits von den Nationalsozialisten – ausgebooteten Verleger ihre Forderungen geltend. Es begann eine Periode scharfer Auseinandersetzungen zwischen Alt- und Lizenzverlegern, die in den meisten Fällen jedoch bald in einem Interessenausgleich mündeten; denn die 1945 aus politischen Gründen eingeleitete umfassende Strukturreform entsprach auch einem seit langem erkennbaren Trend der ökonomischen-technischen Modernisierung. Norbert Frei zeichnet diese Entwicklung ebenso systematisch wie detailliert nach. Im Mittelpunkt steht die Geschichte des Bad Reichenhaller Südost-Kuriers, einer amerikanischen Lizenzzeitung, die mit ihrem Eintreten für demokratische Transparenz in einem traditionell konservativen Milieu bald auf heftige Ablehnung stieß. Die Auseinandersetzungen um den Südost-Kurier erhellen zugleich ein farbiges Stück lokaler Nachkriegsgeschichte.
